ghost recon future soldier, so bad.

the trouble is FUTURE SOLDIER is a pile of buggy junk, nobody with any sense will ever download this game and by the time it's fixed, everyone will have forgotten about it
 
So, is this game really 'THAT' bad?

Taking it for what it is, surely it cant be that terrible, can it?

How bad are we talking here, is it Duke Nukem Forever type bad?
 
From what I've heard it is quite good for a 3rd person console shooter but it does not hold up on PC which is to be expected considering it was never originally going to be released on PC in the first place & Ubi only changed that when PC gamers went ape on the forums complaining that a game that started life on PC was being taken away from the fans that made the series, So to shut them up Ubi just half ar*ed it. doubt their will be an out cry on the next game.

If I ignore the "Ghost Recon" in the title:

6/10.

Fairly solid 3pv stealth shooter with pretensions at being a tactical shooter.

Being able to turn invisible, see round corners and see through walls removes a lot of tension though and the storyline is ultimately so rote as to be completely forgetable.

On the bright side the stealth mechanics actually work pretty well and the game appears to have been playtested thoroughly. It's reasonably long also.

Ultimately a bit unsatisfying in the way it promises to be tactical and then isn't. Makes me hanker after something with a bit more crunch to it like ArmA or Ghost Recon.

If I don't:
2/10
lol

What were they thinking?

I once saw one of the head guys at Red Storm talking about tension. He was explaining that tension is a key element in what they are doing. Not knowing precisely what was around the corner or over the rise.

I also saw them explaining that the essence of the tactical play in Ghost Recon was all about improvising tactics on the fly. The RS games were about the planning phase but GR you have on-the-fly stuff with the minimap.

Also notable for me was the way the game would dump you at one corner of the map with a number of objectives and let you handle them however you liked.

So it was a tense, non-linear, tactical game.

Is the new one any of that?

when are we going to be able to see through walls and go invisable ?

in the 22nd century :eek:...... Deus Ex is Krap for this kind of rubbish too, the only thing that makes sense is the Spy Camera in Vegas R6 and maybe heads up display

what century is Deus Ex ? because parts of this look like the 25th century, i.e you being 90% Terminator/ Robocop, the only part of you that's left human is your head... just about !

you wouldn't be able to eat much or have showers, he's also way too weak and slow, he'd do the 100 metres in 3 seconds ! and be made of high tensile steel, he'd be bullet proof and almost totally indestructable.... even without Praxis !!!!

ok it's good fun, but by God it's total ********, finally, in the 25th century they wouldn't be using crappy old machine guns, that look out of date even today ! :D:D

the game reminds me of Blade Runner and as such i still give it 90 %, it's amazing.....very addictive gameplay.
 
Well im happy to say i really enjoy the game and haven't had any of the problems you guys have posted apart from not being able to run the game in crossfire.
Imo its a great game yes its a console port an i can live with that :)

Those that still play it an would like to set up a Ocuk squad post here please,

I just started playing this online tonight and I am really impressed with it. Maps seem a tad small but enjoying the online side right now. I always play two games so if I get bored I can play the other for a bit, this is making a nice change. Not touched single player much yet, maybe 10-15 mins tops. I played Graw 1 + 2 to death on the 360 and was disappointed the PC versions were first person, so much so I have them on Steam and never ever play them. Very happy this one is 3rd person on the PC.

Well to answer my own question you can only play co-op with people in your friends list, what a stupid way of doing it. Not that it matters I just got another copy today so me and my boy can play it. But I really like this game, online is great. Versus modes you can just join anyones it is only the co-op modes you can only do with people in your friends list, the friends list is Uplay not Steam friends.

EDIT: If you are running MSi turn it off, this game hates it and will crash most of the time with it running.
