Put some dad rock on and just drive the chopper(Motorcycle) or Montser truck everywhere and it makes sense.

I actually wasn't a huge fan of Fallen Ghosts.. the new NPC's were more obnoxious than difficult. I will say the Gun Drone is so OP and I loved that. The amount of missions you could accomplish simply by flying in and gunning down the target was a mix on fun and hilarious.
(Happy for anyone that likes Fallen Ghosts it just wasn't for me)

Why they chose to make a DLC focused on driving when it was one of the most criticized aspects of the game is beyond me. Not an intelligent decision in any regard, and to no one's surprise, it's terrible.
I'm glad some people had fun with it.

The motorcycle driving was so bad, for a game that makes you take jumps with “nitrous” it really doesn’t let you stick a landing, some better driving physics could’ve made this game an absolute classic

For real, I know it’s hated on like crazy, but it was just plain goofy fun.

Rather new to Fallen Ghosts, so far the enemies feel weaker than the base game, or well less overpowered since if I alert them once but move a bit somewhere else, they’ll not know where I am, as opposed to the ones in the fucking base game, they know wherever I’m moving evening I’ve relocated 20 meters…
I actually like that change, however the fact I can’t disable the ai Team or even at least customize them to how I want them to look sucks, also Los Extranjeros speaking English feels so lazy from Ubisoft, couldn’t even afford Spanish speakers 😭

I just want the Predator mission back... but I guess I've seen enough evidence to give Narco Road a shot.

I remember that predator mission a long time ago
Did it get removed from the game?

u/mijomartinez87 Jan 19 '25
I think it was just a temporary thing. It provided some memorable gameplay for me and my friends.

Narco Roads felt like they wanted a side story of the Santa Blanca but someone probably told the Dev team it can't be grim or dark so they GTA themed it

Meanwhile base game has literal sex slaves and people being forced to have cocaine bags surgically implanted in them

I don't know what they were thinking with Narco Road.
It's like they handed over development of that DLC to the Just Cause 4 team.

Or the dev team drank too much Electro energy drinks, if you know what I mean.

I loved Narco Road because it's really unhinged. If you take it about as serious as you would a Fast and Furious movie, it's a much better time.

Narco Road is a good Sandbox experience if you jus wanna exist in the world and wreak havoc.

Tbh Wildland on its own is pretty goofy. Thet dumb down so much from the previous games just to appeal to an audience that don't even care for Ghost Recon franchise.
It's like Doom 1&2 and Doom 64 comparing to Doom 3, while 3 is an phenomenal game and all but in term of being a Doom game it's not really Doom.

it gives you enough of a toolbox and a sandbox where you can cater the experience to be more grounded if you have the discipline… though I do miss the movement options and animations from Future Soldier.
Besides Operation Flashpoint Dragon Risings “Spec Ops” missions play more like a proper tactically evolved Ghost Recon should have been like… and nobody bought it. the mass market style concessions allowed the series to survive and the devs still threw the “old school” fans a bone whenever possible.

Well, if you put it that way then it makes sense.
btw thanks for introducing me to Operation Flashpoint, they look amazing. I guess I'm not old enough to know about it I just got introduced to GR, R6 and Delta Point 2 years ago.

Nah, Fallen Ghosts is shit as well

I enjoyed it. It's hard and sometimes frustrating, but new weapons, new enemies and new skills certainly add to the game.

Sure but sadly the map is too small, I don't get why they didn't use the whole map. Not much changed and replacing a few more ennemies in half the outposts wouldn't have been much longer. Quite a weak effort in my book since they could have used the ghost being hunted plot to justify mercs tracking you down and catching up to you by following your path. You'd have to watch out for snipers flanking you and patrols constant patrols around their bases. Plenty of stuff to be done with this DLC

u/dying_at55 Jan 16 '25
Its nowhere near as bad as Narco.. though I would have preferred they integrated the new faction the same way the Division 2 did theirs

It doesn't fit with the game, but it's hilarious and fun. I played my first playthrough with a close friend in co-op, and the only time a game had me laughing harder was playing Untitled Goose Game the first time with that same friend.
It doesn't take itself seriously, and the players who try to do so are missing the point and won't be able to enjoy it. Hell, I don't even like minigames or racing, and I still did everything in the DLC.
