Fallout 4 vs Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is the latest installment of the highly-acclaimed game franchise, Fallout. This time around, the developers went above and beyond, and completely revamped the rather outdated V.A.T.S. and turn it into a slow-motion-based aiming system rather than outright pausing the game mid-combat. The game has a massive graphics and sound overhaul as well. The visuals are a lot better than before and the devs added in something that was previously unprecedented - voice acting for the main character. The companions play their roles a bit better as well but they still tend to glitch out, or in some cases, disappear altogether. Thankfully, for PC gamers, you can use the command console to bring them back.In addition to its usual (and still epic) open world plus complete freedom features, this game also has a main storyline that forces you to pick a side in a war between factions, the Institute, the Brotherhood and the Railroad (the Minutemen are somewhat neutral in this game). However, the cream of the crop of this game is its sandbox aspect. In this game, even the junk items have their uses as you can use them to craft or modify your weapons, but also to build bases for settlers to inhabit and also a few extra places for you to stash some supplies in addition to your home in Diamond City.
Fallout 4 may have been ranked down on Steam due to Bethesda's decision to make paid mods, but the game itself is still a pretty good sequel for its combat system alone even if you don't like the storyline as much.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is the first open world Ghost Recon game and it does not disappoint! Featuring a gorgeous and expansive map of Bolivia that's actually based on the actual terrain, the game offers players a chance to not only avenge undercover DEA agent, Rick Sandoval's untimely death, but also to liberate the subjugated people there from the Santa Blanca, a massive cartel that has wrestled the control of a country through all means necessary where it has a completely free rein in.Similar to most Ghost Recon games, you'll need to tactically approach a target objective or mission be it to obtain critical and damaging information on an underboss or to help the rebels, who are your allies, to spread their call-to-arms. You'll also have a ton of tools at your disposal, ranging from drones to flashbangs to rebel support. There are even various modes of transport be it on land, on water or in the skies for you to use as you travel across picturesque landscapes.
The best part though is that being an open world game, you are free to decide how you'll want to go about completing most objectives - guns all blazing like Rambo or a more stealthier method like an assassin. In fact, you can also play this game cooperatively with up to 3 of your friends and coordinate with them through the game's chat system or quick chat options.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands has managed to completely divert the traditional game design that most Ghost Recon games are based on and from the many rave reviews, apparently this major change is very well-received by both hardcore fans and critics alike. If you enjoy Ghost Recon games or generally open world shooters like Far Cry, then you should really give this game a try.
