Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

Ghost Recon Wildlands is set in the present and does a bit of a detour from the previous Tom Clancy's games, which had more a future setting feel as used in Advanced Warfighter and Future Soldier.

Welcome to the Ghosts of Delta Company, an elite special operations unit, part of the United States Army under the Joint Special Operations. This is your typical third-person or optional first-person tactical shooter game, the kind we have all come to love. I must say that the open world environment boasts one of the bigger maps I have seen in a while, it's just massive with lot to do.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play this on console as well as on PC, seeing as I have hung up my PC master race gaming cape and cowl a very long time ago. I was over at my good friend DV's place where he let me have a go at the game on PC. Firstly it is much faster, just because you can move a mouse much quicker than you can ever do with an analog controller, the second part with was pretty awesome was the 4K graphics at a constant 60 frames, something the consoles still struggle with. Lastly, and this has nothing to do with the game itself, was the tech, my buddy had recently acquired himself one of those ultra wide monitors, which is a beauty to behold and play on, definitely am getting one.

Our story this time takes place in in Bolivia, a landlocked country located in western-central South America, set in the not too distant future of 2019.

The country has become increasingly unstable due to a minor Mexican drug cartel, known as the Santa Blanca Cartel, gaining more power and influence within the country to the point where Bolivia has become an almost narco-state and the world's largest producer of cocaine. Just a side note, Narco-capitalism is not in any the same as Anarcho-capitalism, these two are completely different things. The rising power of these drug cartels start becoming an ever growing concern for the United States Government, and things reach a fever pitch when the Santa Blanca Cartel decides to blow up the U.S. embassy in La Paz.

That is when the United States draws a metaphorical line in the cocaine and says enough, and they initiate Operation Kingslayer, a joint operation between the Central Intelligence Agency, Drug Enforcement Agency, and Joint Special Operations Command. Because if anyone other than these agencies are trading drugs on the black market they are going to have serious problems, sorry I digress, back to our story. The United States Army then dispatches a Ghost Recon fire team to destroy this cartel and reveal the deep connection between Santa Blanca and local government officials who are in their pockets.

The infamous Ghost team consists of Ghost Leader "Nomad", Tactical Gunner "Midas", Engineer "Holt", and Sniper "Weaver".

Each of the Ghosts team members have to individually make their own way into Bolivia, as to not raise any suspicions from the government or the cartels, who are closing watching all border entry points. The team all meet at the designated rendezvous point where they are joined by their CIA contact, Karen Bowman. She was a good friend of the DEA agent Ricardo "Ricky" Sandoval, who was kidnapped then tortured and finally killed by the cartel, which happened just after the embassy bombing. The team then has to journey to the province of Itacua they are meet with Pac Katari, the leader of the only resistance left in Bolivia against Santa Blanca cartel.

Pac gives the team the break down of what is going on with the cartels, where some of their bases are, drug supply routes and he also sets them up with much needed gear. He also basically gives them their first mission, which is to recover Amaru, an older man whose ideologies inspired Pac to fight back and start the resistance, who is now captured by the Santa Blanca cartel. After this first mission, the Ghosts are for the most part free to take on the cartel in any way and order they see fit, and this is where the fun begins. As the Ghosts start to dismantle the Santa Blanca one piece at a time, they are eventually given the option to go after El Sueño, things get pretty interesting from here on in.

Right off the bat, I really loved this game, the environment and surrounding are a visual feast for the eyes.

Each and every part of the in-game version of the South American country of Bolivia looks amazing, with different areas which includes from jungles, mountains, deserts, salt flats, lakes, swamps, quarries, and caves. Each of these areas giving you a completely different game style experience when encountering enemies. The game has an impressive skill tree and the the weapons customization is much better than what you had before in previous games. The only down side was that you max out your skills when you hit around level 30, and I would have loved some more. The only major issue I personally had with the game was when it came to the missions, the first five or so provinces everything felt truly exciting, then after that it became more repetitive the further you go.

The game features co-op play, which means you can take on missions with some of your friends, or you can choose to play with strangers. Who a lot of the time, end up up being some angry kids who will call you rather colourful names when you let the team down or die too soon. Co-op is also drop-in, drop-out, and it works seamlessly, so there are no long waiting times, no loading, no restrictions to which missions you can or can not do. Wildlands is is pretty big game and you will definitely get your monies worth from it, and the co-op play is what kept me coming back for more.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a tactical first person or third person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris, who fall under the Ubisoft family.

Unlike some of the other Ubisoft subsidiaries, these guys in Pairs are mainly responsible for this game as well as helping with Assassins Creed, and they also worked on Just Dance and Rayman. It was released worldwide on March 2017, and is available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This title is the tenth installment in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise and is the first game in the Ghost Recon series to feature an open world environment, and if is just massive. The game is still kind of new and I have unfortunately not seen any good deals on it yet, but I'm sure you could pick this up as a pre-played game from you local game store.

I give Ghost Recon Wildlands a rating of 8.5/10

I discovered the game in a short time, live I fell in love with the game, the story is well thought out, the game is not a documentary or a mirror of reality. So he takes things on the record, yes, as the Santa muerte is the quartels of Mexico, to no problem as it is a fiction.
Level gameplay he takes the basics of The Division with a little more freedom.
Normal since it's Ubisoft games.
For me no problem, I got used very quickly, the interface is very well thought out.
Graphically very beautiful, but not all the time, nothing that is obvious or ugly.
So for me who likes war games, Narcos, tactics, fps tps, with a super co-op, the game is beautiful.
As I said the game does not please everyone, do not like games in the same way or with the same intensity.
But if you are like me with similar tastes, you can buy it with your eyes closed as it is worth the price.
I have no regrets for having it, fortunately I did not trust negative reviews of the game.
Ah, another very positive point of the game, the customization of the character is weapons that is very wide.
Sincerely, I love it.

...4K graphics at a constant 60 frames,...

I actually saw once playing similar game in 4K quality and I couldn’t believe the sound, not talking about the picture which was amazing as well. Movies, games in 4K you name it, is completely different experience. The game’s story about war between drug cartels and American agencies with American army sounds like a great mission. It already feels like there is a real story in this game before you even start playing it. Even though you gave 8.5/10 rating, not much is missing in this game. Beginning with rescue mission of Amaru to eliminating drug cartel one by one.

The only down side was that you max out your skills when you hit around level 30...

lol I’m sure for me that would take a long time to reach it. If you decide to play the game with strangers, you eventually become a friends. At least virtually. Unless of course one of them let you or the entire team down. Watching the preview of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands confirms what I already expected. Graphics and sounds are amazing. Riding the motorcycle, jumping out of the helicopter... The only thing to make it better is to play this game in VR, I mean VR that still doesn’t exist just yet. Now, that would be something completely diferent.

Today's game is the best game I am happy to see this game I install this game and I play this game ..

Just a great gaming review @adsactly
The amusement happens in Bolivia in July 2019. The nation has turned out to be progressively shaky as the Santa Blanca Cartel, a formerly minor Mexican medication cartel, acquires power and impact inside the nation to the point where Bolivia has turned into a narco-state and the world's biggest maker of cocaine.

The ascent in intensity of this medication cartel concerns the United States Government, as Santa Blanca's impact has started to spread past Bolivia. The final irritation that will be tolerated comes when a bomb focuses on the U.S. government office in La Paz and its expected target,

The improvement of Wildlands started in 2012,and was uncovered toward the finish of Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference.Ubisoft additionally asserted that Wildlands will highlight the biggest open-world condition the organization has ever created.In request to make a sensible Bolivian condition, the designers visited Bolivia for two weeks and requested interview from nearby Bolivians. An altered variant of the AnvilNext motor for supporting the vast open world situations was utilized for the amusement.

This is my contribution @adsactly
This game review just my added to say that
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a strategic shooter diversion set in an open world condition and played from a third-individual point of view with a discretionary first individual view for weapon pointing. Players play as individuals from the Delta Company, First Battalion, fifth Special Forces Group, otherwise called "Phantoms", an anecdotal world class uncommon tasks unit of the United States Army under the Joint Special Operations Command.

It doesn't include the cutting edge setting utilized as a part of Advanced Warfighter and Future Soldier, however rather embraces a current setting, like the first Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. Subsequently, the hardware included in the amusement depends on weapons and apparatus generally utilized by military powers around the world.

However, it includes some unique gear, for example, rambles that can be utilized to label adversaries and show destinations. These automatons have restricted capacities until upgraded.

The amusement is the main passage to highlight an open world condition, which comprises of nine unique sorts of landscape, for example, mountains, woods, desert, salt pads, and furthermore presents a dynamic climate framework and additionally multi day-night cycle.
That's all @adsactly

I have never consider myself a game enthusiast; but @adsactly is about to CHANGE that.
