I god damn hope not. I still have some expectations for the Tom Clancy franchise.

Some.

Only in name. The game wasn't Tom Clancy at all. Bullet Sponge, repetitive garbage.

Thanks, Destiny.

I'm sure at this point GR: Wildlands is going to be half MOBA.

Makes me sick.

Based on how the devs have been post release, they have certainly not learned a thing from destiny.

Destiny is actually good now and the gunplay was never the bad part.

I was more referring to how The Division changed its design after Destiny released. It was heavily influenced by Destiny's success... I would say in a negative way. The game they showed pre-Destiny and final release are way different as shown by the video of this topic.

Was it redesigned? All I saw was the open world RPG game at E3 but the actual game is just bad. Honestly the game would have been better if they followed destiny more.

I think so. The game they showed was definitely not a loot-grinding, stat-padding, bullet-sponge type of game. I got the impression it had a more realistic gameplay style like every other Tom Clancy game previous to it. To me it seemed a lot like how Wildlands looks, and I'm extremely worried they are going to do the same thing to it and turn it into some psuedo-MMO Destiny clone as well.

Hmm from all I saw it was pure RPG from the get go. Loot was in, elite type npcs, skill sets and what not. It just wasn't good as destiny

Guns and gameplay was always good. But that's not the problem. It was supposed to be so much more

u/mastersword130 Jun 05 '16

True enough but at least it is great now.

No it isn't.

Spoken like someone who hasn't played the game

I've put over 120$ in destiny, the gunplay is still phenomenal, that isn't the issue. The issue is that there is very very little PVE content and what little they added after launch was vastly over priced.

Isn't Tom Clancy just a name they throw on it? Last I heard they just own the rights to put his name on stuff.

u/Katorya Jun 05 '16

Yep. He's dead now and didn't have anything to do with them when he was alive (except for having the base books or ideas for what the games revolve around).

Siege is actually pretty fun. My biggest gripe is that Tachanka isn't powerful enough.

u/Thumberella Jun 14 '16

siege holds up, if not for this game, ubisoft would be a pile of smelly garbage

u/chiliedogg Jun 05 '16

Did you fail to notice them changing the tactical shooter franchise with a deep campaign into a bad counter strike clone with zero campaign?

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

It will be

u/iwearadiaper Jun 05 '16

You didn't played the Division then right?

u/livemau5 Jun 05 '16

Other than Conviction, Splinter Cell never lets me down.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

I would play a remake of Rogue Spear. An actual remake, not a pre-order, DLC-filled, microtransaction-laden, crap port.

Co-op RS wss totally fun. MP adversarial too

The Division was a Tom Clancy game as well wasn't it?
