I played WildLands for over a year and loved loved LOVED it. Everything from story line to graphics to the humongous map just drew me in. And once I conquered Campaign mode, I started playing PVP. That was a mistake as I quickly fell in love and threw all my other games in the cabinet and only played that. Then BreakPoint came out and I waited (thankfully) until the price went down. Sooo just bought it a few weeks ago and yikes......what happened? It’s like this game had all of the potential of a great game but the designers gave up. Very sad. Character movement is clunky, spawning in vehicles is cumbersome, character has no athletic skill, graphics are subpar, helicopters are hard to control, the audio on the vehicles is jerky.....I mean I can literally go on and on. And so then I tried PVP thinking that had to be better. Nope. Load in times were ridiculous and the maps are horrid. I’m angry I paid money for this sorry excuse of a game. Ubisoft should have made another WildLands or improved the one that was currently out. WildLands potentially has what it takes to be better than GTA 5 and that’s saying something. BreakPoint designers essentially gave us AI partners but the dialogue is horrid. If Ubisoft wanted to make this like WildLands, they should have improved WL. Now THATS a great game!!! You fell short on BreakPoint though.

Decent plot.....however if you’re going to have as many cut scenes as this game has, please smooth them out. The wait time from one cut scene to another is painful. And having them back to back....I just want to play the game, not watch a movie. And the glitches, in many of the cut scenes, the voices don’t match the action so thankfully you have the option of skipping them. Im trying to struggle through this but I doubt I’ll go back for seconds. Anyone who says this game is “great” is on the payroll. A great game has very few issues/glitches. Days Gone is decent game with a decent plot. It plays a lot like The Last of Us with the crafting, etc minus the open world. The Last of Us is a great game. Cut scenes are at a minimum and game play is smooth. Days Gone has a long way to go to be “great”. Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game. Far Cry 5 is better than this Days Gone and that’s bad considering the helicopters and airplanes are hard to handle in FC5. My favorite glitch so far is jumping on the bike and taking off. The cool thing is you’ll hear the sound of the bike starting up with an electric motor all while you hear the sound of an already running bike. Neat effect. Or when you see see Deacon kick start the bike one time but hear the electric starter the next. My next favorite annoyance is knowing I have the Lil Slugger sawed off shotgun but during a cut scene, Deacon pulls out a pistol. And did I mention walking 15 feet to activate a cut scene only to come out of that cut scene to walk another 15 feet to another cut scene? I mean...enough with the cut scenes. Let me play!! I don’t need this much dialogue!! To top it off, the game isn’t finished. Did a mission where Lt Weaver wanted his ear buds recovered and a whole section of map wasn’t even finished. Zero texture added and cars hanging out in mid air. Nice job!!
