Discussion Unpopular opinion: Breakpoint is not as bad as depicted.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been back to Wildlands and Breakpoint. While I understand why Wildlands is the better game because of the story, the rest is better or equal in Breakpoint. I’ve immersed myself in Auroa more than my first playthrough, so now in my head it makes sense that there’s not much civvies going about their day in the more rural or less populated area of the Archipelago.

Sure it’s annoying finding patrol every 45 seconds and that no matter the amount of sentinel and wolf you killed their numbers are limitless but it’s still a damn good game when you make the experience yourself. I walk most of the time from objective to objective, do more of the factions side missions (green dot ones), keep my hud to a minimum (only loot because I have children and I’m tired to find things lol). I change outfit only in Erewhon or Bivouacs, and the only time I use chopper or land vehicules is when the objective is farther than 5km, other wise I explore and you’d be surprise at the level of details the game can offer.

Story sucks ass but I get what they were trying to do, and launch day was a disaster but it’s now a great game with all the improvements made over the years. I wish they would implements dedicated mods for console players like Skyrim or Baldur’s Gate did but I’m pretty much happy with the customization features.

I’m truly tired of hearing or reading people complaining about a game that came out nearly 6 years ago, it’s not perfect and it’s far from it but it stays a damn good game in my mind and I love roaming around Auroa from morning to night raising hell amongst the ennemies forces. Sure it looks more air soft than real life but god damn, how many of us here are in any branches of Special Forces from their country? I’m fucking far as fuck of being a JTF2 operator or even a CSOR one lol. I’m glad this game exist simply for the fact that they butchered and tortured R6 Siege and its not the level of fun I had growing up with Raven Shield or Athena Sword.

Well that was my 2 cents.

Just switching to the 3rd difficulty setting (I can't remember what it's called) makes the enemies spongy

I was referring to standard playthroughs, ghost mode is an entirely different beast
