Now would be a nice time to jump in on this, but my backlog is too massive :/

I thought for sure it was out except maybe HDR. I mean we were posting these at X launch:
It's gorgeous on the X.

Ubisoft builds amazing worlds. I don't think anybody else comes close.
Rockstar?

It's one of the best co op games I've played in years, but I even have fun with it solo. Next time it had a significant sale, I suggest jumping on it.

Yeah I might just do that. I played alot of The Division last year with a few mates, so hopefully I can convince them to check this out.
I enjoyed my time with the demo/trial aswell.
I'm so tempted.

Its nice that they focused on stuff like draw distance instead of just resolution bumps (like most Pro titles).

Same here. I've had a great time playing Wildlands solo or with friends. The new Ghost war mode and the Fallen Ghost DLC just added more value and fun to the whole package; and, with the X upgrade looks fantastic.
Definitely worth checking out.

Nah.
One of the worst solo experiences Ive played in years. This game disappointed me greatly.

Great first ten hours, then it gets very repetitive.
In other words, it's an open world game: If you don't get hooked by the world and/or characters, it's exactly like that.
You do the same 3 or 4 tasks hundreds of times but shooting is fun enough to where you don't care. There are a fuck ton of guns and the bullet physics aren't completely terrible but leave much to be desired (wind, rounds not disappearing after ~400m)
There are enough different guns though that you can have a fine time playing with them all. A few of them feel samey but for the most part the guns fill specific niches and you're always thinking how good it would be to use X gun in this scenario, so you pause and do it up and it's cool. The interface for changing guns is good too it's a little clunkey at first but you can re-equip in like 5-15s if you know what you want, so it doesn't interrupt gameplay enough to make you really hate it.

For me at least it's a lot like MGS V in that regard. Sure, it could be repetitive in the sense that you mostly follow 2-3 gameplay loops, and you can basically do everything with the exact same silenced sniper rifle approach.
But also similar to MGS V, there are a tonne of different ways to do things. I think I'm up to 500 hours now in MGS V and GR WL must be close to 200, and sure I mostly do the same 'travel, scout, plan my approach, execute' gameplay loop over and over, but every single time it's unique enough because of the different plans or tools I use that I keep coming back to do it again.
Most every open world game can feel repetitive if you simplify the gameplay loop into the exact same lowest resistance method that let's you 'ding' mini-map ?s and !s faster. GR WL excels though, at least above average, it allowing players -- and it's totally fine if not everyone cares; there's no wrong way to play -- a pretty great variety of weapons and tools to take on bases differently.
Not quite MGS V levels of gameplay tools but in makes up for it in most thematic variety (it's pretty fun crafting different loadouts/outfits for each target/climate) and the weaker set of tools/AI is made up by the randomness that co-op inject into it. Inferior control and gunplay but superior world design.
Not just beautiful world design ('verticality' and flora) but also a more believable economic world but also more logistically believable. By which I mean, logistically but in the static sense of world design/NPC placement within it. Not logistics responses: the AI is dumb as rocks and MGS V has far superior enemy response/reinforce system.
I sort of approach both GR WL and MGS V more like a sort of ARMA 2 or Operation Flashpoint than a Assassin's Creed or Witcher 3. It's a poor mission and progression game, but a great open battlefield 'outpost scout, approach, assault' game.
