5timechamp Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 One of my biggest concerns for the longevity of the game is the lack of mission variety.... GTA IVs biggest problem was that it went from one handler character to another and they continually ordered you to drive somewhere and kill everyone..just got redundant.. GTA V fixed this somewhat by giving missions context whereby the tasks eventually built up to a big heist...in addition the missions though open ended also expertly mixed semi scripted parts too... For those who have spent some time playing, does the game hint at variety and different context to the missions? I know Rocky mentioned the story being somewhat involving...

Bodark Zulu Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The main missions are pretty diverse and somewhat intriguing normally yet I find that the side missions are normally lacking and are very simple to complete. However we only played one area and the difficulty was like 2/5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4X0RS Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I can see some repetitiveness. I played about 20 hours of the Closed Beta replaying some missions a few times. The Story does seem like it is pretty involved but based on your progress speed you may forget whats going on from mission to mission. There is no mission to mission suggesting/pushing though. It is truly in any order,speed, and how you want to play. The biggest issue to the possibility of things being repetitive would be how consistent your play style is. Play the same way and each mission will feel the same. In the end you will always be going to an encampment and sneak past or kill bad guys only to kill a specific target, gather Intel, or extract a target. But the process to getting to that end goal. It will always be the same if you make it that way. I found playing the game alone was great if you wanted to be super slow and stealthy where playing with Friends was a blast but you have to be willing to go with the flow since any friend can blow it at any moment stealth wise. The game dose reward stealthy play over loud and proud. Shooting a bad guy might net you 15 - 30xp where grabbing then knocking them out undetected will net you a solid 120xp. Big difference. So in a way for me i do feel a slight push to go quiet initially in this game just to rank up and get skill points faster. When the open Beta comes around im going to try Ghost Mode no Hud. I hear that really makes the game Feel like a Tom Clancy series game. On Veteran mode with Full Hud felt almost like the Mercenaries Game With a little Just Cause combination. Still a lot of fun but tactics didn't feel needed as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think there will be enough diversity to keep me going. But I kinda see this as a pick up and play bits here n there, no need to grind all the way through in one go. I will play slow n stealthy with no HUD and expect the addition of vehicles and CAS to increase level of difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4X0RS Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Oh for sure, With how large the game is a constant grind might drive you a little crazy. One thing the game has for sure is A good amount of content with something like 21 bosses and those bosses all having missions that lead up to them. I took a dive and bought Gold, I normally don't do that with out knowing what the Season Pass content even is but I see this as being a constant pickup and play for at least a good year. Its setup to where you can load in and play 15 minutes or 15 hours. Doesn't matter nothing to hold you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 What's the season pass for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCrawler Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Season pass will get you all the downloadable content that is released the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Is that like gun skins, mp game stuff, or new missions, map? im only interested in missions and maps, not gimmicky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCrawler Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 With the Division it was missions and game addons. All the fluff was for sale separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyCo Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'll probably wait for the open beta before having an opinion on this. The open beta will open a new section of the map so hopefully there will be more variety. I would agree, the closed beta got somewhat repetitive.

Lightspeed Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yeh I felt a little the same way, but perhaps coz I ended up repeating a few of the missions. Sensible idea though, I can wait to make up my mind for sure. One positive, is the amount of feedback on Ubisoft forums crying out for several of the things we all want. More difficulty. Less choppers for starters. Prefer no or little HUD. More variety. More realistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyleken Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 They stated they were adding two big expansions for the game that come with the season pass. How big? We don't know. I could see them adding in cross-border raids into Peru. The Ghosts are black ops units anyways so them conducting illegal incursions into Peru makes sense.
