that's out of my price range

"shitballs" is what keeps me playing for like 12 hours

The thing that always bothered me the most, was that you could set off an explosion (C4/drone/whatever) and not be anywhere near the explosion, and the whole enemy base would know exactly where you were, instantly. Mortars presighted on your exact coords and start shelling while never seeing you.

The fact they put Sam Fisher in, with his OG voice actor and give props to one of the most prolific stealth operatives in gaming history, Solid Snake, brings a giant smile to my face.

Just in time for lunch, thank you kind sir

You forgot to include the Predator mission in terms of crossovers Edit: it was removed some time ago now so that's probably why

I wish they would have continued with the ghost recon franchise. (Which one is your favorite?)

When i can find peeps to play with. I like having an infiltrator with no hud, and at least one guy playing sniper/support that can have as much hud as they want. They have to make the contact callouts for the man on the ground. Spotter can ask infil to hit specific buildings with spotting assistance and then feed the collected info. SO much fun.

The first person mod for this game brings some really immersive interactions into this. My friends and I walking on a desert mountain top to our objective on the other side, suns about to fully set. Night vision comes on. No hud on. Super immersive, I recommend checking it out

this game is like a classic buddycop action movie, just fun to come back to every once in a while

I convinced a friend to buy it due to the summer sale and now we're having a blast with it, been playing for years and it's been fun to finally get some coop action. Awesome stuff

I played this game as basically "Baby's First Arma Coop". My friends who were not patient/hardcore enough to do autistically authentic Arma PVE ops (and didn't have the 4+ hours to do a proper one) would be able to play this with me. We could still LARP as operators and all that, but no missions needed to be edited, modlist downloaded, or insane control schemes using every key needing to be learned (wildlands just has generic third person shooter controls), nor did they need to be autistic knowers of esoteric military knowledge like how does lasing a target or reading the range lines on a Specter DR4 scope work. As a casual normies alternative to army man larp coop when you don't have the autism for Arma, Wildlands is king! Super underrated. Turn off hud and install the first person mod and it goes to a whole other level!

Me and my crew recently started a playthrough and boy can it is such a good time. One minute we’re tactically clearing an Unidad base, then the next we’re having a laughing fit terrorizing the civilians with pickup trucks. Great game

16:30 "But Sgt the dealership said 20% was good!"

I didn't even recognize who was making this video. WOW have you come a long way in the last 10 years, Love you ODrew

5:17 buying Josh an Atlas for Christmas 💙

8:09 here's a tip for those that might not know, but, you can disable "exclusive control" option in [ sound control panel ] -> [ your mic properties ] -> [ Advanced ].

39:27 This should be a Fast And Furious movie 💀

literally playing it RIGHT NOW quick pause to watch this INSTANT BANGER

HEY IT WAS 21% APR!!!! Thanks for this video man. 2020-2022 were some brutal years for me, and this brought back some incredible memories of absolutely howling with laughter at this game. And maybe a bit of rage. Thanks dude.

I love all the moments during the PVP matches where a frag is thrown into a room and Drewski has to hit it with the badass exit 13:28

The beauty in it is that it is a Ubi Soft open world game and in that it is a Chaos Simulator, random shit just happens and it is glorious. Though not as glorious as FC5 when a skunk chases a bear into a middle of a cultist firefight glorious...

i used to play this game with my buddy and his brother in like 2019 and it was such a refreshing, if not uninspired, blend of just cause and arma. we had a total blast with it for like 40 hours. also very upsetting they removed the predator mission, that was one of the few things i remember vividly from my time with it

Damn this brings back some good old memory

That "it's only me" from sam fisher actually gets me in the feels

Ghost War PvP was so fun with a dedicated 4 man squad. Using drones and suppressions to give your teammates the ability to flank and kill enemies felt so good.

going into what u said about the gameplay @4:40 - the OG ghost recons were like ready or not thats what inspired Rainbow

One of my favorite things to do in this game was travel around the regions and picking up all the attachments and weapons. I would interrogate commanders and only get weapon drop information lol

Bro theres a fucking killdozer im buying this game

I'm 68 years old and I've been playing "Wildlands" solo since it came out. I play it at least twice a week. I play on the most difficult mode without my AI companions and on the most difficult Tier 1 Mode. I create my own scenarios, which are endless. I play only Open World games, but "Wildlands" is my favorite. I do play it on the Xbox Series X and not the computer. My wish is that Ubisoft updated the game and added a Zombie mode, but I'm sure nothing like that will ever happen. One of the things I like to do is find secret places to hide where the enemy can't get to you, fly my drone out blow them up and also get the Rebels, Cartel and Unidad all fighting each other at the same time. I have created some crazy battles. The map size is massive, 640 Square Kilometers, (247 Square Miles). Something like 8.5 times larger than the GTA5 map. I love this game so much, but I also love playing my 2020 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles full size Pinball Machine. I'm a kid at heart and refuse to ever grow-up. (By the way, I traded the wife in for the Pinball Machine. Best deal I ever made. 😎)

7:05 IS THAT THE EVAN ROYALTY?!

Love your creativity, it's inspiring!

Seven years... Holy cow... I remember playing this on Xbox and loving every second of it. I was sure that the title was talking about a different game when I clicked on the video. As a thirteen-year-old this game was great. Watering it down definitely worked on my teenage mind at the time, but I might not be able to get into it now... Btw you forgot to mention the Predator easter egg. I recall that it was on the eastern side of the map and 100% worth checking out with some pals. An excellent video as always, Drewskie :>

This game is criminally under rated. With the first person mod it's my favorite shooter. The map is huge and gameplay is awesome.

What really holds the game back is not having the ability to give orders to your squad mates individually, and the enemy AI is terrible.

man this game was fun

Man seeing Fisher and mentioning Snake, and him telling the player to watch his six. Hits me in the feels, great memories. (And holy crap when did stealth camo make it into gr:wl!?)

I love Wildlands so much, i wish the writing and the combat soundscape took itself more seriously but the game is great. turning off enemy clouds on the minimap and playing permadeath gostmode with friends is sooooooo much fun.

5:15 "You guys, I saw a bunch of scary Mexicans!" "We're in Bolivia, Josh." LOL!!!

Most based rando of all time. Joins match unprompted. Says nothing. Wipes your team ezpz. Leaves. what a legend lmao

Who needs Ghost Recon Wildlands when we have Ghost Recon Wildlands at home. (Arma 3 with a butt load of mods.) 😂

I prefer every time I get in a helicopter: "Look at all these lights and switches. My brother was a nightstalker."

the detection sound always gives me PTSD

if you've played one ubisoft game, you've played all ubisoft games.

I have to give credit where its due, GRW got me into tactical shooters and i still have a good time playing it to this day. Its a fun game to fall back on and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to give tactical shooters a try without immediately tumbling down that rabbit hole.

Probably one of the only games where I’ve gotten a legitimate half mile shot with a sniper rifle

My fav game about men-goblins with broken body proportions, with short hands and huge assault rifles

40:00 IS THAT JACKIE WELLS!?!

Honestly the game mechanics for unlocking weapons and attachments is really what tuins the entire game. Kinda wish they used a shop mechanic or level up system.

19:00 - Let's play without the HUD" LMAO

Bro posted right before breakfast u goated fr

Wildlands was such a good game in my opinion just wish they hade more camo for clothes. I wanted m90 camo😅 also i hade some of the most fun with a group of friends when i played this

Dude, I paid full price for Breakpoint. SOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED AFTER WILDLANDS

Another great Wildlands video from Drewski....Being a 7yr Tier #1 veteran of the game I try to find new and different ways to roleplay it to help keep the game fresh but, to be honest the friends that you play with will ultimately make or break your experience every time, whether you're playing it "Loud & Proud" or "Low & Slow" it's playing with quality teammates that makes Wildlands fun to come back to time after time :)

I genuinely have alot of time for this game. I was late to the party, started playing about 2 years ago. I just love the game. Loads of replay value. The sync shot thing is great. Really allows for different approaches to each mission. This is defo my goto game.

The first ubisoft open world third person shooter* Not much "ghost recon" left in this series

1 view in 17 seconds major fall off

This game in my opinion is so underrated! There are things that could have been done better, but still very entertaining. Being able to access the entire map from the beginning was a nice touch.

Wildlands is the first game of it's kind that I enjoyed so much I completely finished the game to %100. It was so much fun and addictive. I enjoyed the video thanks

Still not worth 5 dollars. 00:05 sorry but you dont lead a team, Game is a literal joke, you cant even control your AI squad. Want one of them to stay on a hill with a sniper overlooking the compound you are about to raid and have the other 2 go with you? Too bad, you cant split them up...WHY!!!!??? That was the gap closer needed to make single player viable and feel like a tactical game. Dont get this crap of a game.

Interesting that you made a video about this game just now, I've actually had it in my download queue for a little bit meaning to have a play around on it again. I like going back to old games, especially ones I played a lot when they were new.

31:18 If you played this mission. You suffered on it and you know that when they started shooting without silencers they were already dead

A game that was years ahead of its time. I can't remember how long I played this for, but the world in this game is IMMENSE!!!

"It's MY IP to sit around and do nothing with for 10 years!!!"

This is still one of my top 3 favorite/most played games.

I’m actually tempted to buy a high end PC just to experience Wildlands in ultra graphics settings. It looks amazing here.

got eyes on a small group of mangoes

Just finished this one with a couple of friends yesterday, we had a blast, but today we started breakpoint and we immediately like it more. Which is a wildly unpopular opinion, but the gameplay is just so much smoother.

Some wild life to interact with in the wildlands might of been cool.

I wish they made a 60fps patch for next gen consoles...

I remember playing the closed beta for this game, felt it would've been far too repetitive so I never picked it up when it released. Feels weird to think it's now 7 years old...

I'm not a big gamer but I completed this game twice. It was both fun and therapeutic, loved the Bolivia setting and variety of places.

calling the 1999 suburban, a bronco, is not something I thought would bother me lmao. W video Drewski!

After 7 years it's game still beauty

23:43 Thomas Crooks moment

2:41 I KNEW EXACTLY what Nomad was gunna say, man i love this game 😆Wildlands when it first released was my first game i played Kb&m on after having used controller on PC for years before then cause i was a fresh pc owner who used to be console pleb, I had an absolute blast with this game.

You forgot about one of the greatest crossover in this game had, and it bleeds green

i just started playing this game in 2024 and i love it! it's still good and this video is fun AF. :D

"It has a dry sump fuel system" 😂😂😂

"I saw a bunch of scary Mexicans!" "We are in Bolivia, Josh." 🤦‍♂ Comedy gold 😂😂

this game + the first person mod is nuts

Respect for the future solider skin. That games was SOOO underrated.

This game is a certified classic. I played this game on PC using my xbox controller, and I could only play it that way because the deadzone aiming was somewhat easier.

Ubisoft's Uno and Monopoly also had this "change microphone volume globally" issue. Sometimes big studios make indie game dev level mistakes

I remember playing and making skins for the 2001 Ghost Recon, Desert Siege and Island Thunder. Also playing Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear, really loved those games. Now everything is far from the originals - colorful weapon skins, wrong number of rounds in a mag, running, jumping sliding, loots, behemoths, droids, optical camo and tactical bags with dangling keychains - it has turned to a battle royale game. I just hope they return to their roots.

One of the best games in a long time generally just a great game so fun especially in co op .

Remember playing this game a tons when I was finishing elementary school, 6th grade... Nostalgia hits like a truck now that im 20 years old seing you revisiting It.

This game is a gem for gaming history! Will take years for someone to make as good game as this, especially with the new microtransaction era that destroys all game today.

Real ogs will remember the pain and torture of the predator mission before they took it away

Absolutely loved hitting a target at over 3k

Wildlands had so much potential for comp play. It's a shame they ignored us. The og ghost war ones remember. RIP

Arguably Wildlands was close to MGSV as Helldicers 2 when It comes to gameplay loop and variety

Imagine the atmosphere of Wildlands with some mechanics of Breakpoint like darker nights and the stealth kill animations, that'd get me hooked. I loved Wildlands enough to buy and complete it on 2 platforms, could never get that into Breakpoint.

If you're playing without the HUD (or Minimal HUD) I highly suggest the mod that removes detection blips and hitmarker sounds. Because otherwise the detection beeps get in the way of the enemies diegetic alert barks. And also the lack of non-diegetic hit-feedback gives you those really cool moments where you just magdump through an enemy's soft cover or concealment and just hope for the best. Personally I also prefer it how much brutal it becomes without the game giving any extra fanfare for shooting somebody.

today we played a HUD dependent game without the HUD

There is a just a charm to this game that its sequel "Breakpoint" lacked

7:10 lmaoooo tactical awareness

„We in Bolivia Josh“ 😂😂😂

I'm not sure if you've pointed this out in a past video but the minimap only shows blobs of unmarked enemies on lower difficulties. Of course, everyone knows you can just turn off the markers completely in the HUD settings.

Wouldn't mind a proper next gen Ghost Recon game
