every time a 360 shooter everyone hated at the time for being lowest common demonstrator slop that is now getting video essays from zoomers talking like its the lost soul of the once beautiful games industry i smile. thats the circle of life

Rubbing my hands together like the sneering raccoon meme that says "soon" as I wait to be on the bleeding edge of "Ghost Recon Wildlands was good actually" discourse but burying the thesis, "...but only if you pretend it's a satire of american interventionism and exceptionalism ala Team America."

If you think about it the game was really saying, "Are you and three other soldiers a bad enough dude to take on the entire country of Bolivia and win?"

honestly one of the ubislop games I had the most fun with and I am probably the most mad that they killed its multiplayer so dead that the fan revival project completely petered out. IT WAS MY MILSLOP. IT HAD GOOD CLASSES IN IT. IT WAS FUN 6v6! I LIKED IT!

it also had the most bonkers melee attacks in the game. For no reason the scout just had a knife that let them do melee attacks fast enough that if you weren't careful they could wipe a squad. Meanwhile the assault would bash someone over the head with an LMG then backswing them with it.

my only take is GRFS is a solid 3rd person shooter with a basic story. My only reason I don't like it is the same with everything else. I love every ghost recon up to graw. But this didn't feel like that slow steady moment and tactical engagement where one shot is death... To gears ghost recon.

And they were correct; that game was a solid 6 but it had great bones, it just needed more polish. I think a sequel with modern controls would kick ass.
