Only in name, their culture is very bri’ish based!
But god damn the naming conventions

Figured I’d finish off the last handful of missions I had on Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Get to the final boss and, huh, it pulls an Assassins Creed 1 with a massive change from ‘stealth em up’ to ‘run and gun with a hard time limit with EVERYONE trying to kill you’.
Figures. Both Ubisoft, so it’s familiar garbage. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating, especially when the novel counter of “I’m going to steal a tank and have my team mow you down and there is nothing you can do to counter me” is stopped by
 tank traps. Because of COURSE there are. NO FUN ALLOWED.

Ugh. At least I never bought the game, thank you gamepass


Not only that but they put you on a timer. My teammates and I hated that so much.

The final boss of Ghost Recon Breakpoint is even worse

They go from “realistic shooter with careful planning and scouting” to “infinite spawning enemies while Jon Bernthal is protected by magical shield drones and has a handgun more powerful than your rifles.”

At least the game itself is fun to play with gear turned off and in the Motherland campaign.

Alisaie does not sound french at all. More like fantasyfication of french names.

I suppose it fits the ITSFINALFANTASY meme. Over-exaggerating every aspect of the game, I mean.

Can I please stop doing leveling dungeons with healers who
don’t heal.

I’m fine pulling one group at a time. I’m fine taking it slow. I’m less fine with wiping because you decided to spam Stone over and over again and can’t even toss me a regen. We’re level 38, I don’t have infinite tank healing.

DRK detected.

Play warrior and be the healer.

I AM a warrior. At level 38.

Would you like a pocket healer?

At least i’d be SGE and spamming my damage spells WOULD be healing.

You’re ending up in strange groups. At that point Kardia and Eos/Selene won’t cover everything but they still do a substantial amount of healing.

I’ve been in a number of really odd DF groups, but nothing is stranger than a WoW group I had in Cata(?) where the tank just stood there for 10 minutes typing out his “I’M THE TANK” terms of service.

In another case of “Things to really peeve me”, reminding myself that the miniatures of the Horizon: Zero Dawn board game are really cool, but the fact that all the named characters were ONLY Kickstarter reward exclusives, and I only found about this LONG after the KS was over is a massive mood killer and killjoy and just makes me go “Eh, what’s the point in bothering
?”

Exclusivity and Time Limited rewards all need to get in the sea, end of.

Too many healers I come across.

Easily my most hated modern gaming trend. Fear of missing out is a plague. I’m so relieved that you can still get stuff from previous seasons in MCC because I’m far too used to “oh, season 2 stuff? You’re never getting that. Should have played earlier, loser.”

You’re fine, these are the types who are literally typing “h-hewwo” or variations of that type of speak
