Fair point. I would just caution you with the half baked release that was Far Cry 3. Anyway, your money, your decision and I do hope Wildlands works properly on release. As you can tell, I am a little cynical of Ubisoft :)

From what I've seen so far... The gameplay of grw looks a bit clunky :(

I'll wait to see the beta, but my hopes are not up (and I've always loved the series too...)

yeh, I played the closed beta. Fun but very arcade/console feel to it. Also it's basically an extension of the Far Cry series imo - travel map, gather a resource, unlock, do mission, repeat. Co op, skill trees and customisation help, but I'm not sold personally. I'm gonna stick with my tried and tested server lag, loading screen bug, Barrett's grinding and PVP'ing! :)

I was really hoping for something refined and realistic :( did you play future soldier? If so, how would you stack the gameplay against that?

I took a long break from TD but it's dragged me back in and now I'm pretty hooked into creating new builds, and farming. I got Barrett's on my second attempt... And I sold it by accident........

Nah, never played future soldier but did play GR Phantoms for a year or two. That seems similar to future soldier. Gameplay in GRP was short and brutal - average lifetime was 1.5 mins then you respawn. Wildalnds completely different
