I recently had the chance to go hands-on with Ghost Recon Breakpoint at a preview event held in San Francisco in August. So then, let’s take a look at what I liked and disliked during my time with Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

    I doubt I could like any game I had to play with a controller, there is a reason the reviewer and anyone who takes FPS seriously plays them with a mouse and keyboard. For that matter I am baffled why anyone would use a controller for anything on the PC.

    Ghost Recon games have always been a rather mixed bag with a couple of excellent exceptions. But I do recommend the franchise, they solidly do it their way. I don't pay much attention to games before they come out so only skimmed the review, my concern was we might be getting some FPS franchise creep. By which I mean whatever is seen as good in one shooter ends up In the others with seemingly little thought on how that new gameplay will effect the game as a whole. But we shall see when the launch reviews come out.

    Not every game works well with a keyboard/mouse. I play lost ark with a controller and it's ? times better than kb/m. I couldn't even imagine trying to play stuff like Prince of Persia or any serious platformer with a kb/m. Racing games and space shooters also are hands down better with controller.

    Racing games with a keyboard and mouse are atrocious. Thus, I use a controller, or a wheel. So, yes, there are completely valid reasons to use controllers (or any peripheral for that matter on PC).

    Additionally, this wasn't a review. It was preview of incomplete code which I mention several times throughout. I recommend reading it closer as there is quite a lot of detail I cover, some of which may be of interest to you.

    Been playing GR:Wildlands on PC a good amount recently while waiting for this game's beta. I keep a Xbox One controller on hand specifically to use for when driving/flying. Only reason I have the controller is for those kinda situations. XD

    PC gamers don't use controllers and you should have never played it on general principle. So your reviewing a console port. Why are you even writing an article. You didn't play the PC version and they didn't let u so stop wasting pixels



    This analysis is sound.

    This game is just Wildlands with drones. It's nothing special honestly. It's kinda just meh.

    its meh, but with lots of bugs still, like getting stuck while sliding down a slope or falling through the ground while laying down or getting killed by roaming NPC`s on your campsite while exiting your camp.

    These are just a few but game breaking and they have only 1 month to fix them all besides the connection issues they still have in coop and even in solo play
