Great video deef. Thanks for the reminder that everyone has their own things to deal with. I actually just got back into the game after my uncle was taken in a car crash 2 months ago so this video actually felt a bit personal to me and now I’ve also put a good few hours into immersing myself into this game. Thanks for being one of the few to touch on the reality we all deal with and just thanks altogether bro, you made my day.

More than that! Playing games (CoD mostly, in my case, and some Wildlands solo) has helped me manage my anxiety down from crippling dow to moderate to severe. I integrated it into my therapy for the same reason you did: it was the first place in many where I could forget myself and not hear the self criticism all the time. It's a feggin game, you're supposed to play it. It helped that I allowed myself to be bad at it at first. Loads more to say, but.. yeah.. it's your video and all :p Edit: started playing little over a year back, at 43 years of age. This is very much an ongoing thing.

which moment?

I am on my missus account, i say that for clarity. But listening too what you said, hit home for me personally. So i am 44, 45 in Sep. I joined the British Military in 97 aged 17 with PWRR, Sniper.... for a little over 10 years, and attachment sniper too 2Para towards the end of my career, then went in too the personal security sector. Gaming was always a part of my life, back at barracks, when we were shipped to Pompey to train the NAVY boys on Whale Island, on a stop over base at Marchwood, or even in Iraq, Afghan... There was always a PS2, PS3, 360 kicking about that we would play on. But when i left the military and personal security, my real battle began.... i went a bit mental too be fair, rage, anger, drinking.... all i did was drink, go clubbing, fight, gym work.... rinse and repeat. When i left the military life it screwed me up as i had nothing too channel all the crap that was in my head. I had to get help in the end, hearing you have battle stress or battle trauma as they now term it, rather than PTSD... I was chucked on meds, Sotalol, Mitazapine, Diazapam, Zoplicone and i admit i just felt like a total failure. But gaming, as ridiculous as it sounds, saved me. I love jumping on with pals, but they aren't always available too play. But like you...... Ghost Recon, BF, ARMA, Incursion Red River, Tarkov, Insurgency. Playing military sims is what i know as it's familiar with my past..... But it's a release as your mind just totally zones out. Either playing with pals or on your own, it just nullifies the mind, and all the memories, flashbacks, PTSD bulls##t just takes a back seat. Gaming, friends and talking really does help. If anyone is reading this, and they are down, depressed.... TALK, talk too anyone..... Jump online with pals and just have a laugh. Christ, if ya have nobody too jump online with, leave your platform and tag here, and i'll add ya, i'm across PS, Xbox and PC. But it really does help. Great video fella.

That sounds like one hell of a time, and I don't know how you managed to get through it, but you did, and I'm happy for ya mate. Cheers to you, life is about it's downs as much as it's about the ups, wouldn't be life if it were a straight, boring line I guess. I'll echo that talking to anybody can genuinely be a lifesaver. I spoke to my partner, not long ago about why so many young men struggle, and she simply said "it's because you don't talk about your emotions" and not to tar us all with the same brush, but for me at least, in the past, she was bang on. Playing with others, playing games period, is some kinda medicine for me that I can't get anyway else. Cheers again mate, appreciate ya.

This is not only a love letter to GR:BP, but to gaming and yourself as well. As an avid gamer for the past 25 years, and now as a father/husband, I have had a lot of experience with self appreciation and depression. I really appreciate your candid description of your past and reasons for picking up this game. I have loved every video of yours that I've seen and 100% believe you should/will have a much larger following than you currently do. I can't explain the level of entertainment I get from your tactical gameplay, especially when you bring in guests. I'm picking this game back up now thanks to you and would love to be able to join you one day on Golem Island. Cheers 🙂

This video really resonated with me and has made me realise that I can’t keep all of myself bottled up(if that makes sense) so I hope you don’t mind but I might go on a small rant here for a bit. So when I was 3, my mother and sisters were shopping in London while me and my dad were back home at the Ulster transport museum, when leaving my dad got a call that my mum had an epileptic seizure and was in hospital.She frequently had seizures in and outside the house and it changed me and has made me. My mother battled this for 13 years and in this time I became numb to a lot of emotions (like love and in some ways happiness) but last year on June 13th my mum passed away and with her I felt a piece of me pass too. Not only that but only a few months later my great aunt (mums aunt) maud kells got diagnosed with cancer and passed away soon after. They were two of the most resilient and religious women I knew and I hope they are smiling down on us from heaven. The past year has been difficult for us all and I have entered a spiralling depression and with that came a curiosity for military shooter games which in turn led me to you. Your videos have helped me out immensely and I can’t thank you enough for unknowingly helping me and others through tough times. Keep making excellent videos and we all wish you good health

Good spot haha, yeah figured since I was wearing the mask, why not lean into it eh!

I watched one of your first videos just randomly a year or so ago and was blown away by how cool the video was set up. You made you and your friend in the video at that time seem like actual ghost recon soldiers and blur line, for me, between game a reality. I have always had a soft spot for wildlands and I’ve said before on one of your older videos that I’ve tried breakpoint a few times but couldn’t really get into it. There was something about it that, at the time, seemed tedious, boring, or confusing. Watching your videos back then is what kept me coming back to try it again and again till now, I frickin love the game. I’m obsessed with cosmetics and of course the stuff I want requires me to basically beat the whole game lol, but I have so much fun working towards it. Basically the point of this is to say you’re the reason I’m playing this game even after giving up on it a million times. So thank you and I hope you keep sharing these one-of-a-kind videos!!

For me it was the division that changed my life, I went through this crazy run of bad luck (got my throat cut and stabbed in the neck and my face cut from right ear across to the bridge of my nose) and I got really withdrawn from people cause they always stared at the scar or asked about it. Played the division and made friends on that game I’m still friends with eight years later! I ended up going out to see some of them and they knew about what happened and were absolutely brilliant people. We take for granted just how many people have issues and literally use these games as an escape from reality for whatever it is that’s wore them down. Gonna need to try removing all the hud and sound options on breakpoint for sure, been ages since I played it. Thing the predator was just released then. Good few years ago. Lol. All the best bud from Glasgow and hope you keep making these videos man. ✌️

First I want to thank you for speaking out about your mental health and difficult times, it's not easy to do and this negative stigma it has is unjustified. I have a plethora of games where fond memories were created and to this day, I know which game helped me during which moment. From Splinter Cell series, Ghost Recon, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Hitman, Souls borne games, Silent hill, Resident Evil, The last of Us, the list goes on. I believe games that provide an immersive experience to the player in a way that creates a high level of verisimilitude, means the creators of said game were successful. Short sided people who don't understand that video games is not just for kids, games nowadays are so deep with their story, graphics, immersion that it's a perfect way out for many. Depression is serious, life is hard, and playing games for me is like therapy. It gets me through the toughest times, as does playing sports, reading books, music, social activities. Using Ghost Recon Breakpoint/Wildlands as an example; Just walking around, looking at the environment, peaceful, there's something about it. The concentration that it requires to tactfully clean up areas. I feel like I'm there and it's an incredible feeling. I want to play games until I am unable to, I started playing Super mario 3 on Nintendo when i was 3 or 4 yrs old, Im 37 now and I will continue to do what makes me happy, to hopefully continue my pursuit of happiness. Fantastic video!

Well spoken, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video mate. I want to play games until I'm unable to also! Played since my dad had a BBC Master and I was playing games that required like 37 floppy disks (not the 3/4 inch, the BIG ones), and it's never not made me happy to think about or get stuck into a game. Cheers mate, to you and to games!

I've tried but the desynchronization with other people on console is BY FAR the biggest "breaking point" for this title .... You get spotted by guys on your buddy's screen that isn't there on yours. The silencer could be attached on my screen but unmuzzled on my friends. Its just that every single time we try to enjoy it, something breaks or rips us completely out of the immersion. ( And that's just the technical stuff that pulls us out constantly; not to mention the futuristic crap many of us would LOVE to do without). I love Wildlands WAY more imo but that's entirely because of the setting, atmosphere & conflicts more so than it being "a better game". There's many little things they improved upon and did right here but much of what made Wildlands my favorite (and so special) just was missing in this one. Great video regardless and looking forward to more in the future

Ah that sucks man, I've had that recently too, it sucks. Thank you for the kind words 😊🙏🏻 appreciate you checking the vid out!

Fair warning - essay incoming. When you were talking about how GRBP helped you out, it reminded me of how LA Noire & GTA 5 helped me through some shit. It was 2013, I was 15, and my pop had his first stroke of 3 (maybe 4, we're not sure about that last one) - the first was his worst one, because he went from being highly independent to heavily reliant on others. My mum - one of his many, many kids - was the only one who stepped up to help him; everyone else was more than happy to coast along & let my parents deal with the hard yakka - you ask me, I think they (mum's siblings, just to be clear) were just waiting for him to croak so they could swoop in & steal his money. Anyway, I was in 9th grade, and my attendance was spotty at best, but not too long after pop moved in, I found myself feeling like shit all the time, and it got to the point where I didn't go back to school for the rest of the year. I couldn't really do anything to help my mum & dad, and I felt completely useless. My mum took me to a shrink, and I was diagnosed with depression, which is still a constant companion almost 11 years later, and I was struggling with the most basic things. I had a TV & my X360 set up in my bedroom and I'd play LA Noire and, when it came out, GTA 5. I still have fond memories of working the Homicide desk on cold rainy days, huddled under blankets on my bed. I remember playing GTA 5 with my dad late at night when pop was asleep & he didn't have to watch out for him. Eventually, I got help, went back to school, met some people that had a big impact on my late teens & early 20s, but I credit those games with giving me enough breathing room to help me get back to where I needed to be. I haven't finished the video yet, but I felt compelled to share. Thanks for the videos, Deef. Stay cool, legend 🤙

I honestly have to agree, I never realized what this game would end up meaning to me as a young adult and slowly over the years I keep getting drawn back to this game.

Same here, man. I tried Breakpoint on Stadia, during free weekend. Couldn't stop playing then, bought it the moment free trial ended.

Love the graphics of the game, love the gameplay of the game, every mission is interesting and i find it good even when i die couple of times. This video gave me another perspective of how to look at ghost recon and how to look at all games actually. Thanks for this video, im def. following. Much love keep it up!

Totally resonate with your talk on finding a game to enjoy and lighting up when talking to a therapist about it. I hope you're doing better man, again an amazingly edited and directed video. Amazing work as always :D

Oh man that part about the game helping you through some things hit home. It did the same for me and now you’ve convinced me to play again. Thanks for this video it reminded me why some games just hold a special place.

i still remember opening that gift from my brother on christmas and seeing a ghost recon title i’ve never heard of, never saw any trailers or heard any hype- just got the game and played it when i first played it was a really in depth realistic take on the division game, crossbred with ghost recon. when i came back to it the devs had taken to hyper realism type updates- focusing on milsim and real world elements to create a tactical and realistic environment i haven’t seen many games get the love from their respective creators the way breakpoint has, they waited until ubisoft stopped holding the game accountable for making money and they straight up made a passion project with a triple A financial backing… they’re goddamned geniuses. not only did they add the milsim aspects, but they’ve allowed us the ability to customize most of the gameplay experience to suit us individually, GHOST EXPERIENCE PARAMETERS is the kindest gift a dev team has ever handed gamers in a vanilla experience

Could I do the missions the way you were and would it work so I gave it a try and sure enough you opened the game up to me not only did u make me a better player at the game but I loved doing stealth and finding better ways to infiltrate bases without a soul knowing it’s crazy to think that one video that I watched nearly a year ago impacted me this much you truly don’t know the game till you’ve played it in all the different ways so thank DEEF u rly made my life better

I love Breakpoint! It is my first Ghost Reckon game but not my first Tom Clancy game. Breakpoint holds a special place in my heart.

How I got into this game was. I used to be a “gta TikToker” last year (2023) I decided to randomly start drama/beef between big gta TikTokers, (I’ll spare you the long story) which lead to one creator blocking me & others not to be chill with me, well I still am chill with some. But I decided I would try Ghost Recon out. (First it was wildlands bc of gamepass) & i enjoyed it, but then my friend was like what game is that, and we decided on downloading the newer one which was Breakpoint. We thought it was a gonna be a short-phase of this game, but for me I fell in love with it. I enjoyed how you have the free-roam of like gta, but in mil-sim game! I decided to post Ghost Recon on my TikTok, at first the views low, but now they’re steady. But Now In 2024: My TT Account i post GR:BP & Fortnite (and im happy we’re im at)

But then I heard about Ubisoft completely revamping the game by bringing in Immersive mode, and as someone who did try the game when it first came out I was like “oh okay maybe it’s time I gave it a second chance” a choice I don’t think I have regretted because it has kinda become my desert island game.

You mentioned a 1st and 3rd person game not coming to mind but TC vegas 2 was like my childhood tactical game, if the next game does the same thing, only going into 3rd person when in cover and 1st the rest of the time I could live with that. Also now I gotta install breakpoint again. ❤

Skyrim did 1st and 3rd person. If they can do it on a game that is over a decade old....fingers crossed. Excellent work as usual Deef!

Aw thank you, that means a lot ^^

i went back to these games after not playing for years. Mods have made this game so much more wonderful. Need a discord to get a bunch of us to play together!

Great video DEEF , your content is why i play breakpoint with the first person mod and sometimes with spartan but even more so has fueled my my enjoyment of tactical shooters in general lately and for the forseeable future. Its pushed me to enjoy games like Tarkov with the single player tarkov mod [totally transformed a game still idle in my collection], Arma 3 and Reforger, Ready or Not , Incursion red river. Just to add Arma has both third person and first person.

Amazing! Love that it's spurred you on to new pastures mate. And yes Arma does, DayZ too!

I like about how you introduce yourself and why you like break point series, the way you gave suggestion or have any thought about the game, I felt polite and understanding in your word. Keep up the good work bud 👍

This is a great and awesome video. I started getting psyched while watching you. I understand your issues with care giving. I have been doing it for a few yews and still doing it.

I hope Ubisoft will listen to you bro and the community be cause this future game can be changed lot of things in tactical shooters.

Love the ode of love for the game. Really honest, and touching stuff. I discovered this game lately, and something about it found a way to me - probably the fantasy of being an operator. Sure, its ubisoft, the world feels dead and plastic-y, but its still beautiful and the gunplay itself is great. Slowly trying to find my style of play, to love the game the way many do

I too have had some good experiences with this game that keeps me playing. I am an Army veteran and being a console player we are pretty limited with tactical shooters. When the immersive mode came out it was peaceful, tense and nostalgic. I am mostly solo due to not having anyone that has stuck around or that plays on the more realistic settings. But with all that said it is still lots of fun running those solo operations and looking forward to the future of ghost recon to continue to have those feelings that I have had with this game. Great video and thank you for sharing your experience.

@@deefactual Naw that title is reserved for you, king 👑

I absolutely love this game and I love the fact that you play the game similar in style. I just love the realism and the immersion the game provides when played in a particular fashion. Some of my friends don’t know how I can play this game the way I do with the settings but I just think it’s because they never given it a try. Their ghost experience is configured very differently than mines so they always ask me why I move slow and don’t just run in. They see the enemies locations, no injuries, take tons of damage. Feeling like a god in this type of game just isn’t the most fun for me. It’s cool for like 10 minutes but then it gets extremely boring when there is no threat of death and you don’t need to use all the mechanics to scout the area and plan tactics. Exploration mode you get lost, I love having to search areas for the objectives and etc. I like to think I was deployed so I just gotta survive, so I don’t use bivouacs and pretty much live off the land. If I need a vehicle to move faster, then go to a compound and steal the helicopter. I just haven’t played in first person yet and I am a big fan of first person games. I just didn’t wanna have to install all the cheat engine and etc. I really do hope Ubisoft makes first person an option in the next release. I mean…the series started off as a first person shooter way back the day.

Great video, the intro gives me chills! I love ghost recon breakpoint and always go back to playing it once or twice a year

been here since less than 600 subs and now almost 76k. That is remarkable and well deserved. Same boat as you for gaming being your "escape" or "medicine" for depression. Awesome video and agree with all the tips in this video for future games!

Hey DEEF, great photography! Are you using the ingame photomode and do you edit the pictures afterwards? (editing jpgs is so annoying and my mousespeed is really high in the photomode :D) I think a mission/level designer to create your own missions/stories and share them would be great for the next game. Anyways, great video and glad you got through those hard times

Caring for one of your loved ones is one of the heaviest emotional burdens you can take on in your life. I had to do the same thing about 2 years ago after my mother had a stroke, and I too found myself not wanting to do the things I once enjoyed. Luckily I had others encourage me to talk to a therapist, and I'm now the happiest I think I've ever been in my life. Mental health is the same as physical health; if you want to be healthy, you have to put in the work. Proud of you brother, and let me know if you ever want another Ghost to venture with. 👊

It sounds selfish to say, but it does drain you, because it is such a massive weight we chose to take on. Heaviest is the right word I think. Sorry to hear that about your mum mate, that sounds like heavy weight indeed. I'm glad you got talking with a therapist, honestly, I compare it to physical ailments, if you hurt your back, you would go to physio, so why not go to "physio" for your mind as well. Proud of YOU mate, good to see others be able to see a problem and ask for help. I will keep it in mind, thanks bud

I love this game. I'm currently trying to complete Operation Motherland on Elite without HUD, no fast traveling, crafting essentials ONLY at camp. And most of all. Doing it without dying once.

started playing like that a few times. Actually the rule was: start new character, if he dies only once delete the save and start from scratch. 😅 I did this at least 20 times, never managed to get through the game like that but it generates so much intensity and forces you to be on your toes. And after the first few times, when you're really pissed off for dying, you start appreciating the absolute hilarious things that get you killed. 😂Because it is never the hard missions or locations that you expect, most times it is some really stupid random encounter or driving off a cliff by accident or something like that. 😂😂😂

It's always a pleasure to watch you go in and do these videos, highly underrated channel/videos, thank you for making them. Breakpoint is an amazing looking game, I loved the story for it (at least the base concept) and the way it plays is amazing it's just the world being very dry and dead sucks (although it's understandable since it's meant to be under martial law, just not the best for gameplay reasons with such a big map). Not much else to do other than take on the same base or mission for what feels like the 100th time even tho it's on the opposite side of the map (I'm not much of an imaginative person so its hard for me to come up with some cool or elaborate reason to be taking on this random base or area).

@deefactual

Ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words mate, yeah the setting isn't amazing but the environment is easy to get lost in. More lively and human filled would be my preference too! Wildlands 2.0 eh!

The game and some other games helped me in some troubling times too, I have a some what similar story as you and video games helped me during those times. It helped me escape reality and made me realize this is what I enjoy and can hopefully continue doing, kind of makes no sense but I hope you kind of get it. I hope others can agree with me as well. Out of context question but how does your game look so colorful? Or just... I don't know the word just more nice, I guess, I don't even know anymore.

One of the things I most want from project over is Insurgency Sandstorm esque gunplay. The sounds, customization, ttk and recoil actually make the weapons feel realistic. One of the biggest gripes with BP is that some weapons sound absolutely awful (looking at you 416) and the logic behind not being able to suppress weapons that were suppressable in WL or use certain attachments even though almost all weapons use picattiny rails (the t1 and the LPVOs being the biggest offenders)

Love this Game, probably my all time favorite I've ever played. Love the video and your commentary

12:29 made me genuinely laugh out loud dude! Also: great video, love the emotional yet calm commentary and connection, way to go man Also also: this comment section is super wholesome ❤️

Man, deef, I don't see a reason for you to be feeling nervous for publishing a video. Every time I check out KZread and I see your content, I am always in for a treat. You're the one content creator who does such a great job at making videos it feels like a tragedy to miss just one. Thank you for all the amazing content, and keep it up, please! :-)

YES!!! My friends and I just started a new playthrough - we have 500 hours, it’s my fav tac shooter ever

Awesome video. Break point i will check this out. Finding a game where you can disappear, forgetting you daily troubles is awesome its an escape. I completely get what your saying. I too suffer mental health and gaming is my distract 100% of the time. I become the person in the game the environment everything about it. Only soon as i come off Mental Health comes back. Loved every second of the video and now I'm a subscriber.

Superb job on the video, the edits are perfect. Btw what backpack is that? I've looked through the mods you've linked and the customisation options normally available, and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

22:25 I cant play 1st person perspective games… Red Dead 2 nailed both perspectives back in 2018… i mean both perspectives should be standard upon launch of any shooter, let alone a tactical shooter. Inside buildings I would love to switch to first person when clearing rooms but outside… yeah I HAVE to be in 3rd person. As much as I love Ghost Recon, i will not buy the next one if its 1st person only. That makes me sad.

Both options should be available to us, I agree, let the player choose their playstyle

How do you get these conematic shots when there's no free/spectator camera? I assume it's the normal over the shoulder view but you crop the frame?

I, too, really enjoy this game. It can be as hardcore (or not) as you want it to be. The settings options are great. Agree with you on all points here. My main CON of this game is the reliance on a connection to Ubisoft servers and online services. When those go down for hours at times, it’s infuriating. Or when I had my internet go out after a pretty severe storm for 4 days. It really begs the question of WHY they insist on doing this for singleplayer games. I understand it’s for mtx store access, etc, but I feel there’s many people who steered clear of this game due to this issue, because it means one day it will be a game that was paid for that is no longer playable. I feel the base sales they could have gained would make up for the MTX money they gained. I’m not super anti-MTX but I really didn’t buy much at all from the store. I think I spent $5 on a balaclava I preferred. I really think base sales would see a boon if they did away with it.

Best audio tip I've heard in 3 yrs of playing thanks bro, keep up the good work.

I would hope they would find a way to not do that, I think updating the game to no longer need DRM would at the very least let us keep playing it without need for online, I've seen other games update their games to push out DRM, so it must be doable.

This is my first time watching one of your videos. The quality of the video is insane. Definitely should have more subscribers. By the way are you using any visual mods.

Yep, I remember having that option in DayZ Mod and it was great. All they have to do is implement options like not being able to 3rd person peak while in 3rd person, so they people can't hold a corner and see other players or enemies. And again, if they're playing alone, stick it in the immersion options as a toggle. Arma's customisation levels are off the charts, and I don't see why Ubisoft can't take a few notes from their playbook at this stage.

These videos alone that you’ve worked so hard to put out for us got me through some rough times 💯💪🏾

Impressive quality shots. At first thought this gonna be Snow trail seque vidl, but it's more of discussion. Ok, to be fair i want some more like Tlou 2 options - hiding under the cars, more advanced parkour faster and more realistic movement, non lethal takedowns. Underwater exploring More immersive fast travel option. Tactical HALO jumps from airplane. Weapons on swings. Just now grounded and realistic game And i want really deep systems in open world, hunting eco systems, fractions wars, civilians etc.

Ive always liked Ghost Recon because its the closest we can get to present/ near future warfare. Breakpoint was an eye opener and now I think I may give it another try souly because of you!

Nice to see ANOTHER legend who appreciated this game so much! I STILL play co=op, and cannot wait for the next match!! Thanks for posting this, Brother, we appreciate your thoughts and sentiments, many are our own as well.
