Why Wasn't This Game More Popular?!

[@TheOne214]

My only wish was that this game wasnt always online because when the servers go the game goes.

[@BlueSquareMemes]

they could change that but ubisoft being ubisoft will just kill it and throw it away when it becomes 10 years old

[@mandrews6282]

They’ll make an offline mode most likely before that happens. They’re doing it right now with the Crew 2. An offline mode is coming, and it’s on sale for 1 dollar on all platforms, before servers go down. Also Wildlands is still online so I think Breakpoint has quite a few years left.

It wasn't more popular, because UBI f-ed up at the start. UBI did make up for it later, with all the updates they did. Support for the game was very good. I am still playing this game and Wildlands quite regularly. They are the best single player open world shooters I know.

This series (including Wildlands) and both iterations of The Division are my possible "forever games," (until Ubi sinks them in the Marianas Trench of their own making). The gameplay, the game world(s), etc. just click with me. Love your work, man.

[@dalliance36]

Ubisoft messed up , plain and simple GR fans wanted a continuation of Wildlands but Breakpoint when it launched with the loot and levelling of weapons was a mess . The devs did rectify things and in its final state after all the updates the final game was far superior but by then it was far too late.

[@kiekeyz]

It's actually getting a WHOLE lot more popular thanks to creators like you, DEEF, Lugovoises and a number of other creators pushing out breakpoint. ESPECIALLY with all the mods available on PC now. MOdding is getting better and better! I saw a mod recently that adds a sling for your primary!

[@hyperion2502]

I come back often in this game with a friend. GR Breakpoint never get old when it comes to coop. The best game from ubisoft in years. Perfect sweet spot between arcade and milsim. The updates were really good. It is still beautifull. Just a shame the game was not great at the beginning. Some very good idea haven't been understood. For example, the rendering is around 550m, that's why we have an unrealistic short bullet drop (without the ballistic advantage skill). It gives a better challenge for snipers.

[@TheBenthos]

I love the chaos you bring to this game. I spend most of my time sneaking around with a suppressor on. WillyB, not so much.

[@clyderobinson8707]

For the past month, I have been enjoying Breakpoint, watching you get crazy and insane humorous attitude. Here's a squad suggestion for you? Which would be (You- Franktastic- Nachu- Ghost Island Thunder). With just uncontrolled CHAOS! Great videos, love when you die, but only because of your words and humor . Be well my friend..

[@xXnick916Xx]

Willy you’re the reason I originally purchased this game and put all the hours I put into it. In this time of online gaming I loved this game because it was something I could just chill and by myself after coming home from work.

[@ezioauditore6371]

Game looks amazing but what's holding me bacl from buying it is required internet connection for single player which is nuts

[@unknown_number475]

People wanted Wildlands but new, instead they got a game with drones and no teammates. The buggy start then lead to the game being hated like crazy, like most ubisoft games, and no one cared anymore, even though ubisoft did a great job fixing the game.

[@xXtuscanator22Xx]

For Ubisoft to ACTUALLY put in time and work and fix a game and improve it drastically is actually as rare as a pink unicorn.

[@RoughWalkers]

[@airtonalmeida7394]

[@HEF-l5d]

I heard about all of the game's problems at launch. But after seeing KZbin videos like this one and learning about the updates, I bought the game 2 weeks ago. I've grown to love this game. It's tied for second place on my list of favorite Ghost Recon games. Future Soldier is at the top of my list; I consider it one of the best games that few people played.

[@TheAman2008]

The reason GR Breakpoint wasn't more popular is because of Ubisoft themselves. They could've use this game to build off of the foundation of Wildlands, but the released the game when it wasn't finished, released it as an 'always online' game, and monetized its in-game items to hell and back when the game itself contains bits and pieces of survival type mechanics.

[@joller79]

I really like the option the turn on the immersive mode, so a weapon has the power it has, instead of tier up and so on, like in the division. Love thoose too, but hate i need to put two clips of ammo in some enemies….. headshot is headshot, boom, done

Which is a shame because despite it's flaws, I still do enjoy it.

[@xKADZx]

One of the best shooter by Ubisoft. Both this and Wildlands. If only it receives proper support in the beginning by Ubisoft, accessible offline, and make it a better experience for single player (the AI teammtes), it could've received a better reception no doubt.

[@claytongibson2474]

The game released in a very buggy state, first of all. Second, initially, AI teammates were not part of the game. Which has always been part of the franchise. You were never a lone-wolf operator in Ghost Recon games. There was always a tactical element to it, and part of that was utilizing team tactics throughout missions; the AI teammates weren't added until much later after launch. Thirdly, Ghost Recon games have always carried with them an element of realism, in that, if you shot a target in the head, it killed them/took them out of the fight. In Breakpoint, the story centered around a technologically advanced military force that had robotic tanks, soldiers, drones, etc; and those brought with it the ever-so-unpopular 'bullet-sponge' feel that, in my opinion, ruined The Division. No one likes to magdump the same target 15-20 times while it just laughs and lobs rockets and mortars at you incessantly. Sure, you could argue that the robotic enemies forced the player to 'smarten up' and find new ways to fight, but I would counter that you could find better ways to do that, than by just making enemies largely impervious to bullets. We liked Wildlands because it offered us a robust open-world, with varying terrain and dynamic fortified positions, where we could tactically assault them in a play-style that fit us each individually. Breakpoint seemed determined to rid the franchise of that, at least at first. I will cede that the developers turned the title around, months if not years, after launch. But, by that point, most of us had a bad taste in our mouth about it. It's a decent game now.
