Ghost Recon: Wildlands - 10 Things We Learned From The Beta
4. It's Up To The Player How Seriously They Take It
Ubisoft
This somewhat relates back to the co-op element of the title, but, just as it's easy to find a group of players with experience and an inclination for tactical gameplay, there are just as many out there ready to drive down a mountain head-first and do away with the conventions of modern warfare as they are.
Indeed, Wildlands pretty much depends on squad synergy. There are of course options for more unconventional forms of warfare, but this is a title evidently made for a wide array of gameplay styles. In catering for everyone - those action-oriented and otherwise - there is a risk of alienating certain segments of the online populace.
In that sense, you're probably going to want to link up with players who share your squad goals (please don't hurt me), lest you scupper the experience altogether.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
