So I played this when it dropped, and for whatever reason me and some buddies went back to play it again today. Dude. Matches the tone of predator absolutely perfectly. And yes I know. When you fight the predator it’s basically just plasma caster shots with the occasional disc throw. Which is ironically the best way to play the predator in this game. But my point here is, Ghost recon got it right with there one side mission. Granted Ubisoft is a much more experienced team. But still. Some of the original sound track during the more tense moments, and even the predators vocals all sound wayyyy better here. So sad to see

I played this, and yes it was great fun (while being the most challenging of the side missions) but I don’t think you can compare. The Pred was AI that was pretty much railed, and Ubisoft never needed or tried to produce a playable Pred option.

I think that’s my whole point. It’s an AI predator on rails and the predator feeling is still more here than in all of hunting grounds. Between the team finding strung up bodies to the woman in the jungle covered in blood, and finding the green blood on the leaves, and even the surprisingly not cringe use of the “if it bleeds we can kill it” line. This game just screams predator. Hunting grounds you sprint off into the jungle alone with your knife out and go troll the predator who undoubtedly is glowing with his shiny colors and silly armor. Now obviously this is all just my opinion but
What if you’re that guy who didnt play PHG and just played Wildlands Predator DLC?
Wouldnt you say …man that WildLAands is missing all sorts of shit!
Well considering wildlands dropped this wayyyyyyy before hunting grounds was announced or even being made, we all were that guy when we first played it. And I remember my only complaint being, the predator never uses his wrist blades he exclusively shoots at you and throws things. But the ironic part is, predators in hunting grounds do that too lol. Like the good ones ya know. They never come down and melee. Dude I promise if you ever play it, the music is way better. The predators sounds way better. The short story beats that take place leading up to fighting the predator, all of it blow this whole game out the water.

Like I got my brother to play it with me, and he doesn’t really ever play video games. And he was like holy shit this is dope this is just like the film. Then after trying to kill it all night he was like, holy shit the predator is so scary. He’s like basically invincible. I then proceeded to tell him the predators in hunting grounds would have been dead there first pace through running around like the one in ghost recon does. Needless to say he was disappointed lol
