Fashion Recon
Days and months after playing and digging around the community makes me concern about the future of GRW. I bought GRW solely based on the fact that it was sold as a single player tactical shooter game with capability in online co-op. Speaking of the base game, I love it and am still having fun until today, despite of some flaws.
My concern starts with, as you all have known, goofy stuff in the game, such as Narco Road and some of the Ghost packs. I don't think I'll have to explain why for NR, while for the Ghost Pack, they're pretty much optional and you won't miss a thing without those, hence I can just accept and let them go and wish for a better one in the future.
However, my concern has been greatly fueled when I read community posts in forums such as reddit and official Ubi forums. I do agree that Ubisoft really lost their way in taking care of GRW, but the community itself isn't much of being a help either. Ignoring the non-constructive comments around, I have surely read some suggestions to make this game to get straight and be more military. This suggestion is what I can agree on, even though I'm not that military-shooter type of gamer who would act and speak like some kind of actual military veteran. The problem is that, as much as I've read people wanting more military stuff and gameplay to be added, I've seen more of other 'unhelpful' suggestion that would yet again stray this game away in the end.
One of these unhelpful suggestions would be people asking for 'Multiplayer', while 'Multiplayer' itself is already in the game, but since they're so ignorant, they only consider PvP as 'Multiplayer'. Forget on how dumb that is because there's more. I've seen many people said in the forums, Twitter, that the reason they bought this (PvE centric) game is to play the PvP. Thought I'd never seen the day someone orders a hamburger for lots of green veggies instead of the beef. Furthermore, I've lately seen a suggestion that they want this game to turn into 'PlayerUnknown Battleground' mode, which is basically an open world Dark Zone or GTA Online Public Free Roam all over again. It also appears that people are no longer keen to the idea of being set in an arena for a balanced fight like men. They want a 'riot', not a 'match'.
So with the unrelenting force of suggestion to make this game into a Call of Duty Ghost Dark Zone Battleground, what would be the future of a Ghost Recon game? A game where it's focusing on special tactical force teaming up to take down a national menace into a game about special peashooting force on duty to take down cartel but killing each other instead? This surely have set another milestone in terms of being off theme worse than NR and other goofy ghost packs, but people give a free pass to the idea because it's PvP mode, the ultimate mode that everyone wants. Not.
This concludes my concern for this game. I'm the move-on type of guy. I always believe when I've lost interest in one game, another better game will come out. But I honestly (and I'm sure many of us) wouldn't want a game that was purchased and received exactly as advertised to stray away to fulfill some people's wishes who denied what this game is about.
