Make you're own mind up

I LOVED the last one and I can't see any reason why I wouldn't want to pick this up

Very cool. Looks like it has potential to break new ground and restart the series.

What happened to the active camouflage? I love that crap.

In this game, "active camoflauge" is called "dust", and it is modeled with 4 dimensional physics.

(Also, agreed, looking forward to the game!)

Four dimensional?

You mean it goes forward & backward in time, too?

:P

Apocalypse 31

This is what Ghost Recon is to me:



This new generation of Ghost Recon is just so LINEAR for me. Everything from the tight, corridor style level design to the (nearly) on-rails gameplay style goes against everything the series started out to be.

Apoc, they're really pushing the sandboxian open world campaign this time. So apparently they agree. ;)

Nefaro, strictly speaking if the dust is persistent for any length of time at all, it's 4D.

(I was going to make a joke about it being 10D as a programming/math joke about how dimensions are simply ways of keeping track of characteristics and their possible or actual variant states, which is surely true about dust modeled in a video game even if it doesn't persist more than a few seconds for artistic effect; but I thought it would be too obscure, and lead to jokes about bra size, so...  :crazy2: )

Priorities. Not just bra size, you need cup curve, nipple position, pointing direction, firmness. Thats DDDDD right there.

Thats awesome, then. I hope they can get it right.

You guys complain about Ubi DRM in one thread but not this one.

I also said it would never stop me from buying a game I want.

I have complained about many DRM implementations over the years, but as JH - I wouldn't ever let it stop me buying a game that I really wanted and I also believe I've said unless it actually properly hinders me or causes me an issue, I won't boycott it.

oh - and Ghost Recon is waaaaay too cool to be boycotted because of some mamby pamby DRM  :crazy2:

I was a primary rabble rouser in that thread.   

And I won't bother with this one.. because Ubi. 

I was a huge sub simmer before SH5 came out and refused to buy that until they added the offline option a few years later.  Was still very hesitant.  So I do occasionally have some semblance of willpower.  If I could wait years for a sub sim, due to Ubi's DRM nonsense, then most other genres don't stand a chance, even with my game collecting obsession.  :idiot2:

I habitually block the reality of its existence until I have to deal with it directly.  :))

Also, someone should cut a shorter version of that trailer to match that poster which starts with "Somewhere a little girl is asking God to send some angels to make the bad men go away," -- then shows a Seal or other elite halo jumping with the tagline "ETA: TWO MINUTES!"
