Is Wildlands the best open world ever made?

It’s one of the most natural feeling worlds in vidya ever, terrain feels so real with its height differences and large geographical features. Too bad that the game that takes place in that world is repetitive shit.

>Ubisoft open world
>good
LOL

It was pretty fun in coop because it was like a more janky MGS.
What the fuck went wrong with Breakpoint though?
I tried to play the beta but it barely worked and the drone-shit futuristic setting is soulless.

wtf was with that run cycle in the breakpoint beta lmao.
and what was up with the world looking fucking amazing but the character models all looking like shit in it?

if you mean in size and scope then maybe, I'm sure it's not the largest but graphically it's on a whole nother leevel
same for witcher 3 but replace with meh melee combat and clunky horseback riding, but at least graphically wildlands wins out

Wildlands is only for screenshot simulator and RPing if you are into that

Witcher 3 had great sidequests in the open world though so that's not true

I felt like Wildlands looked better somehow, Breakpoint had way too much fog obscuring distant terrain.

>follow red trails to this epic conclusion lol
not really. the writing was great I agree but the quest design was horrible

but it was fun, can't say the same about wildlands

not really, no, the most fun I had in it were the gwent tournaments, wish they focused more on that rather than generic follow the trail bethesda-tier quests.

pretending to be an operator in wildlands is about 5 hours of fun though so yea it loses on that front

The first biome I visited in Breakpoint was "freshly mowed lawn with spruce trees growing out of it". Apparently the archipelago of Auroa is the only place on Earth where public parks grown in the wild.

How could they f this up, all they had to do was make Wildlands 2 with more mission variety and some story missions

Ubisoft usually nails the world building but goddamnit if everything else isn't just loudly mediocre

that being said wildlands 2 in Asia or Africa would be p sick

>Wildlands
off-topic question: is the stealth shit?

yes. Due to it being open world stealth instead of carefully designed levels it doesn't always work correctly. Sometimes people will see you through walls and other things so it immediately kills what fun you may have been having.

I don't condone the purchase of microtransactions. Fortunately the 100+ items I've gotten in this game have been for free.

I think it's pretty good for the type of game it is as user here said

The levels aren't really designed for a "stealthy way" the idea of the game is to stealth to weaken the location until everything blows up and it's a full out war

I really like the night time in this game, Witcher 3 areas look better at moments but Wildlands is much more consistent and the nightime doesn't look bad like it did in the Witcher 3

>The levels aren't really designed for a "stealthy way"
right but sometimes that's the fun of stealth, to see if you can eliminate everyone in the base completely unknown even though it might be extremely hard to do and designed against that very thing. I was having fun doing this in the game and then someone saw me through a wall and ruined my whole stealth run. That was when I dropped the game because it kind of pissed me off, so I'm just sharing my personal experience having actually tried stealth in the game

It's low-effort Ubisoft stealth ie. footsoldiers can barely see in front of them in nighttime while snipers are omniscient, and everything has that detection delay thing that all Ubisoft games have. You can silently take out all enemies by distracting them away from hazardous areas. You can snipe an entire base dead as long as you keep hitting your targets because the bodies disappear and won't be discovered. On the flipside you can't carry enemies' bodies away when stealthing close quarters.
Surprisingly though the vehicle stealth works pretty well. As long as you don't linger around enemies while driving they ignore you, doubly so if you're driving their vehicles. Also, enemies have day routines and will go to sleep during the night. You can imagine how ridiculously annoying the game used to be before they added the ability to skip forward to wait for dark. Players had to spam fast travel to make the time roll forward so they could do stealth ops in the dark.
You know what's the worst aspect of Wildlands stealth though? The game has a Splinter Cell crossover mission featuring Sam Fisher, and the mission is hands down the least stealthy mission in the entire game.

There are some areas that were blatantly designed in a stealthy way but someone apparently forgot that it's an open world game. The big cartel base where you have to kidnap the cult leader lady is nice and challenging to infiltrate... unless you happen to approach from the forest instead of the road. There are no defenses whatsoever back there. You can just park a helicopter next to the base and walk in to grab the girl. -Because the level design assumes that you're following a fucking GPS arrow and infiltrating from the front.

Even though SF is a liberal hellhole and the game's story sucked, I still really enjoyed dicking around in the city.
