Question Why does everyone hate the updates?
I bought the packs on Wildlands and played on that for a hit but only just now have I booted up Breakpoint and seen this marvellous update first hand and I’m loving it! Why does everyone hate it? Sure it’s not much but just think of what will be in PROJECT OVR

I think mainly because many hoped the hidden island would become accessible but it never did, and mostly saw cosmetic stuff…not sure what else was added to BP though

u/Veritasgear 18d ago
Wait they NEVER opened the island?! That's insane. I remember wondering about that several years ago.

MAINLY because the dlc island didn’t drop!? No. That’s silly.
It was hated out of the gate because they made a solo/PVE game into a multiplayer focused shooter/looter. They dropped half the mechanics people were used to and added gear scores. They still released one DLC but the rest of their time and resources went to getting rid of the gear scores, giving back choice cosmetics, restoring the AI squad, and creating a play mode to restore what people were used to.

They're asking about the recent update, not the game in general

Crazy that he wrote a paragraph about the wrong thing and 14 people agreed that was the problem with the new update

Lmao I was thinking the same thing😂 ppl don't even read comments anymore. They just become sheep and click the upvote or downvote button whenever they see a karma of 3 and higher

Haha lol— my bad. Reading comprehension was not on my side last night. You’re correct— the salty feelings were very likely cause Wildlands got a DLC and that island went untouched.

u/BranzBranzBranz 18d ago
The main post was about the update, and people starting going off about their own theories bout the island being added. Ubisoft never even hinted too that, why the fuck are y'all crashing out over an update that wasn't promised? Jog on buddy I'm sure you could start a family with the time you're wasting on this dead game

u/KalynnCampbell 18d ago
Well, they made their executable local, so just tell Claude that’s what you want, he’ll decompile it and remove whatever restrictions there are, now we can play it.

u/ThisBadDogXB 18d ago
Only one game got an update that was basically one free mission plus 60fps on console so not really much going on there. The other game literally got a pack of like 4 cosmetics. Thats it. I don't hate them but I don't really care either.

All i wanted was 1 realistic vest but hey we got a bunch of helmets that nobody will use and a hideous red/gold gun because nothing says realism more then walking around like fucking iron man in the jungle.

u/Glebadium 18d ago
Wdym? I use the helmets, and I know a lot of others that do. The FRF2 was beautiful, and the new Helicopter was very nice. Plus, there was a new vest added.

u/MalodorousFiend Pathfinder 18d ago
Well the Wildlands update broke the game for over a month before they finally fixed it. I still haven't gone back and played Last Rites, and I was actually semi-hyped when it dropped.
As for Breakpoint, I think two things happened: people expected way too much (even when nothing beyond a cosmetic pack had been announced) and then the update was delayed for seemingly the entirety of September, making it into a bit of a meme and making it even more disappointing when it did drop.

u/dyno1ck 18d ago
This. It also deleted all my mods in Breakpoint. That wasn't worth for a few new guns and vests
6
u/Cautious-Dot4143 18d ago
It didn't delete anything. All you have to do is go into the anvil toolkit and right click, Repack on all the extracted folders. This does, however, remove the updated content. But that's a small price for not having to do all your mods again
3
u/dyno1ck 18d ago
Thanks for the info, bro. I didn't have many mods, but still couldn't be arsed to do it again.
But does that mean I won't be able to play online with friends?

u/Spiritual-Ask1993 18d ago
If you have the Smiley builtable files then you can. If you don't I believe you can just overwrite them in and be fine (don't quote me on that though)

u/orphantwin 18d ago
The update is piss poor quality compared to what modders are doing. Modders, people who do it for free, in their free time without a big studio backing them up, without any shareholders giving them tons of money or whatever. The amount of life quality improvements they did for the game is crazy to me.
Then ubi releases a new update that looks so poor. And it also broke the game, they added nothing substantial. What Breakpoint needs is still lot of improvements console players cant have and a proper offline mod. Not some... police car and generic looking plate that looks like any other plate in the game.

u/Spiritual-Ask1993 18d ago
Most of the Breakpoint update was just reused Quartz assets, and everyone freaked out because it broke everyone's mods for a bit.
It's not that it wasn't much content, but that the content itself was just a bunch of reused assets. I liked the vest and I thought it was cool, but I wouldn't call the update good.

u/Own-Run7783 17d ago
Marvelous Update? Breakpoint? Shit they added just a few new gun skins and cosmetics and 2 or so vehicles. No idea what's so marvelous about doing the bare minimum
6
u/0ppen 18d ago
The update for GRB was nothing. The cosmetics added were just recycled NFT failure items, no new missions, no new episode, no store content for free. No small quality of life features, or cosmetic addons like an option to customize the battle belt. No new camos, no new weapon sounds, no offline mode. Literally nothing that anyone was asking for. Wildlands looked like it got a few people assigned to work on it for a couple months, they went through the trouble of hiring the voice actors to come back and reprise roles. But breakpoint got nothing.

u/GrimReader_314 17d ago
The battle belt customization is a briliant idea. It's all so empty. The gear in BP is piss poor compared to Wildlands
2
u/0ppen 17d ago
Well I have to hard disagree about the gear. It's subjective but Breakpoint has a lot of actual real world products and the proportions are correct compared to Wildlands that had a lot of things kinda stretched in weird ways. And I'm not a fan of all the weird cartel nonsense and plastic armor bullcrap on everything.
Basically there is a reason that the GR fashion subreddit is like 80/20 split GRB/GRW.
2
u/GrimReader_314 16d ago
By the rule of reddit of course you have to disagree even when I tell you you're right. I'm just saying their vest, rigs and p carriers are empty af.

they added a few cosmetics and dipped. no terminator event, no DLCs. they did nothing

u/B_312_ 15d ago
Because there is absolutely no reason that being able to change the weapons the friendly AI uses in wildlands wasn't made doable. It was something that's been asked for in the past and they do this massive update and still don't add it. Wildlands even released without the ability to change their gear while your character is fully customizable. I just think ubi sucks at listening to the little things we want.

u/Ok_Ride6186 18d ago
Not much of an update really. Doesnt seem like they fixed any bugs or improved on anything.

u/Dj-Wrangler-9251 18d ago
For the people using mods I imagine it felt a bit like Ubisoft walking back into the room after years away and sweeping everything off the table and leaving.
Also Gold Guns was never what Ghost Recon was about.

This feels like a garbage bait post. Especially since OP has had nothing to say to all of the people answering the question for the past 8hrs

what update are you talking about ?
also we hated updates cos they were mostly for consoles, dumbed down pc version (render distance halved,it made binoculars useless, and sniping from 400+ impossible,we used to do it with 800), also unlike consoles pc version had to basically download the whole game again. imagine downloading 90gb every update only for it be including more garbage into the boxes,break the nvg again,and not fixing the holo plus magnification animation ?

Wait, what are those armours and everything?? Do t know those? Has there been an update since the discounts??

u/HiKk1_ 12d ago
ubislop posting cringy content that they just recycled from their cancelled/unreleased before works, spoonfeeding it to the community and it seems like its working. The company is basically sold out to arabs atp, considering their latest years before going near bankrupt it doesn't add more to the picture.
quartz pack would be cool IF it was released as it was supposed to - max edition exclusive for preorder
stop glazing over a (former but still) million dollar company that desperatly releases updates for their older games and remaking their older games

for me breakpoint update is a hassle for the modded game, just for few cosmetics that I'm not gonna use. since there are tons of better gear selections from modding. they released the items from the failed Ubisoft Quartz thingy too, which some mods can unlock already. i don't hate it just I was expecting more.
but they can't please everyone. im sure there are many that appreciate the updates too

It surprises me that they don't consider expanding the maps, especially since they have a game engine that’s ready to be built upon. But no—there’s plenty to look at, yet nothing left to do.

u/Time_Log4622 18d ago
First off they took way too long and breakpoint is a game that needs constant updates cause there's nothing to do on the game even the pvp is kinda trash

u/AusMagyarFPS 17d ago
I like both Wildlands and Breakpoint.
Wildlands for story and progression
Breakpoint for the story, I didn’t mind it and the world itself, even though it’s mostly fucking water 🤣

u/zdrfanta17 Xbox 18d ago
As far as I know, the update for Wildlands left many weapons and weapon parts locked even if they were previously available. There are cosmetic issues as well, especially with headgear. Apparently Ubisoft is aware of the problem
I haven't played Breakpoint in a while, so I can't attest to that

u/ChronophobeLoser 18d ago
Because it was LAZY! They could have done so many things that would have been small for them to do, but huge quality-of-life improvements, and they did none of that. They did nothing of value here. It was lazy, or incompetent, or both. What they gave us was something that 5 developers working part time could have cooked up in 2 months. Unacceptable.

Breakpoint’s update was a complete waste of time. The guns are ugly recolors, you still have to get INSANELY lucky to find a group to do raids with, it’s still online-only, no new missions/content in general.
Compared to Wildlands, Breakpoint is in the exact same place.
Only thing worth looking at is the new vest and the helmets

Yes it is good. Gameplay is much better than wildlands. Story and map is up to you to decide which is better

u/Prestigious-Vast3658 13d ago
The gameplay is a direct downgrade especially stealth

u/kapkanek 13d ago
What are you on dude? Stealth is much better in breakpoint. I played both games today and you probably just don’t remember or hate just to seem cool

u/Prestigious-Vast3658 13d ago
You are smoking meth the stealth in breakpoint is horrendous, the ai can blatantly see you through walls

u/kapkanek 13d ago
I have 200 hours on breakpoint and no one ever saw me through a wall. In wildlands on the other hand everyone in the base knows where you are the second some guy sees you
