10 2017 Video Games That Wasted Their Biggest Selling Point

3. Living Up To The Name - Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Of all the Ubisoft properties to bring into the modern day, Ghost Recon has major weight as a household name. Advanced Warfighter helped shift enough 360s to make it that generation's dominant system, and yet... although the ground for an open-world instalment that rolled together Far Cry outposts and Watch Dogs tech sounded solid, the reality was something else entirely.

No, the reality of Wildlands came from it immediately being one of the most broken and "early access-feeling" releases the company has ever put out. From the get-go you're greeted with subpar animations, tons of clipping between vehicles, characters, environment etc., and a script that was so laughably bad, you weren't sure whether to take it seriously or attempt to laugh along.

Some fun can still be had by buddying up with friends online and raining down collective hellfire from a chopper, but unless you bring your own fun to the table, all Ghost Recon has is scraps of a better game that never feels fully formed.
