Inexcusable.

I though i wasn't going to play this game much, but i ended up playing it the whole day.
Man the map is huge, and it doesn't feel like fake scale. It's like the witcher 3 but bigger, things really feel of the appropriate scale.
I'm feel like i'm losing a lot of fun playing it solo tho, since sync shots with the A.I are like cheating but there is no other way to control your partners individually.
My mind was blown when i decided to explore La Cordillera de Los Andes, didn't expect it to be part of the map.

Hah. Game is full of shit like this, and yet it is still thoroughly enjoyable. Be interesting to see where it will go with patches and additions.
I feel like the game design/difficulty is balanced with sync shots in mind. It's still a pretty difficult game using them on extreme difficulty... and it would make attacking installations a bit of a slog without that mechanic.

i think i'm playing in extreme, i feel like i cheese out of everything with my sync shots, first think i upgraded too, super effective.
I'll try to play more public lobbies i think.

I think the second blue intel option you pick is always weapons and weapon parts. So in a given region you need to find minimum two intel sources (computers, interrogations, certain civilians) and pick skill points for the first one and weapons for the second.

Thats been one of my favorite things to do playing solo so far is locate weapons and parts that i want then sneak into enemy locations and try to get them

Installed the new nvidia driver yesterday and man is it night and day, no more dips from 60fps and SLI support is golden. Now UBI just needs to fix the random crashes that happen every other hour and we're good to go.

It most certainly is, the amount of LOL worthy moments in this game is staggering, you just never know when your friend might decide that it's a good idea to try and break the fall using his face instead of a parachute a few meters from you.
However it is annoying when you have to waddle through this bug-swamp sometimes to find these moments.
It's good to see that 1/4 of the posts on the first page on the official forums are complaining about the awful radio and soldier banter. Ubi is posting that they are going to be "looking into" the ability to disable both.
Hopefully this sends the message to Ubi that they really need to fire their writers and reassess what constitutes as passable writing for a 30 million dollar game. The far cry series and now this is really brought down by the pandering, absolute shit writing.

There's definitely a consumer argument that games shouldn't release like this. It's shoddy.
But.
As a gamer, part of me thinks this is great.
As long as it doesn't corrupt a save or stops me finishing a mission, I basically like janky things happening in games. Poor AI, shonky physics and simulations going wrong - it's like being some kind of cryptozoologist spotting crazy things in the wild.
I don't even know why they added that melee. You can't break windows or anything. I don't think I've done anything with that melee but initiate the animation to knock someone out.
Just an incredible amount of beautiful scenery in this game. Everywhere you go there's a pocket of the map that looks like a postcard. The scale of mountains and high altitude bases is impressive.
Yeah there is one area that I can't remember the name of that has these incredibly deep and lush canyons.
So good.

I can neither confirm nor deny any of these salacious allegations.
Though I am still proud of rescuing you guys from UNIDAD off that rooftop in the stolen helo..
That being said, Xbox Peeps! Join the WildlandsGAF Xbox Club, and/or the Ghost Recon Network GAF Task Force!

I am impressed that this game is fun alone, and is nice to have some 'quiet' downtime collecting things and dispatching baddies between giant destruction-fests in co-op.

Yeah, I was in a jungle/wetlands type environment last night that created an incredible atmosphere. I just wish they would have made the ghillie suits have an impact on stealth instead of just being cosmetic as sneaking through those wetlands with water up to your waist/neck in an environment-matching ghillie suit really enhances the feeling of being a Ghost...now only if the gameplay tied into it, that would truly be fun.
Well according to some people here, the radio is a conspiracy by Ubisoft to steal money from streamers.
Yeah I've got 6 different outfits saved for different occasions and environments.
1. Casual, blending in with civvies in urban areas
2. Armored, so its got a helmet, armor, etc. basically looks like the ghosts did in Future Soldier/GRAW. I use this when things are probably going to get loud.
3. Jungle/wetlands outfit
4. Salt desert/snow outfit
5. Assassin/stealth suit
6. Desert
I probably put too much effort into this. But some light spec op role play stuff goes a long way for dat immersion

God Damn. Looks amazing.
Anyone playing this on Pro/4K?
Yeah. Looks really nice and frame rate is just about rock-solid at 30fps.
I wish we could create weapon loadouts as well.

Ok I bought this game in Uplay. It looks so good with that foliage enhancement.

Yeah friends is the place to go.. random co-op isn't nearly as much fun.

Was just asking my buddy last night if you could use the parachute outside of a helicopter or a plane. We couldn't find a cliff or anything to jump from but his answers that question. Awesome.Just an incredible amount of beautiful scenery in this game. Everywhere you go there's a pocket of the map that looks like a postcard.

Is there anyway to rewatch story videos? I killed the first boss but was downed and I think I missed one.

There are a lot of locations in the game that have ramp-like features at some of the highest points that are clearly markers for base-jumping.

Why is there no HDR for PC -_-
Game is great though, pleasantly surprised.

Accepted! Welcome aboard!
I imagine the slowness is due to how many other good games are out right now.. I feel like at some point, people will come around to realize how fun this is.

Jank yes, Division 2 no.
Actually going to put Horizon down for an evening to jump into this.
I dropped playing Horizon Zero Dawn once I got a taste of this game, if it's any consolation. Will get back to HZD after I've had my fill of this.
So uh...how does it all work?
Captain Zyrain

Right now the Ghost Recon Network is the epitome of jank. It's all over the place.
However, in game, you can sort by Xbox friends, Task Force Members, and the like.
You get some extra unlocks from being part of a Task Force as well. I'm hoping they add in some more perks, but for now I think that's it. As people join we'll see how active we can keep things!
If you see me in game (Gamertag: NSA) feel free to shoot me (a request to play!).
Cool, likewise!

At a guess, I'd say PS4 was more populated with GAF guys

Did anyone set up a GAF Task Force for PS4 or PC? We should get that into the OP as well.

How do I check in-game playtime? I saw it once, but can't find it again.
Is this the kind of game where people won't get mad if I join their random coop group while drinking with the intention of doing silly multiplayer shit? I'm going to do it anyway, I just wanted to know if these kind of shenanigans were officially supported by the community.
There was a GAF TF in beta, but its pretty dead now:
