Best Buy offers My Best Buy Members Ghost Recon Breakpoint for $49.99, or $39.99 for GCU members plus $10 reward. This may have been a match to the Amazon deal, but I'm not sure who did what first and you don't have to be a Prime member. At effectively $30 after rewards, this will likely beat any BF deal next month.

Hmm 29.99 with GCU and 10$ cert I have plus another 10$ cert going to be really hard to pass up will have to check reviews
 
Thanks OP.  I pre-ordered and enjoyed Wildlands, but I'm gonna pass on this game.  Mainly because I have Game Pass so I'm not lacking for games to play.  Secondly, the game doesn't scream "must play on day one" to me.  It's basically Wildlands with gear leveling similar to The Division.  But definitely a good deal for fans.

 
So, I pre-ordered two weeks ago right before my GCU expired. Do you think they'll auto-adjust the price or is this something I'm likely to have to call or do online chat to resolve? 

Would seem pretty bogus to not update the price for me since the order has already been placed.

 
Not a bad deal ... might be cheaper on BF, but most likely $45. I liked the Beta, the auto-killing mini drones were super annoying but I heard that’s a feature that won’t be used as much in the actual game (maybe keeping certain areas off limits for story reasons, but not as prevalent). Will probably bite, since my GCU dies just before BF anyway.

I'm in the same situation. Contacted Best Buy CS via online chat and they told me, I'd have to cancel my current order and re-order to get the new lower price. I would lose my GCU discount because mine has expired.

After playing the beta I wouldn't waste anymore of my time if the game was free. This is not Ghost Recon.

I never liked Ghost Recon games, until Wildlands... and now Breakpoint. I tried and wanted to like The Division 1, but just couldn't. LOVED The Division 2 however.

Yeah I saw the monetization crap, but seeing what it is i'm not interested in any of it. Camo? unless certain camo's allow you to hide better than another camo, it's just cosmetic. Same with facepaint and tattoo's. Once I leave the character creation screen I rarely ever bother with the looks of my character anyway.

The guns + mods etc, yeah thats BS but if you can get them in game and the store just allows you to spend RL money to get them early... whatever, i'm not going to play it competitively. 99% of my playtime in it will be solo.

The micro transactions in games now is pure BS, (and getting worse) but I have yet to buy anything in any game outside of actual DLC.

If you're an Elite or Elite plus number I'd try calling the dedicated CS line. I did and they refunded me $8.60 on the order, which means I'll get the game for $39.99 plus $10 rewards points. I just told them the price should be adjusted because it changed since I placed the order, they said usually the system updates those orders.
 
Thanks OP. Got it for 5 bucks and change after some reward certs. Glad there is a 3 week window until Outer Worlds so I can catch up on all these games I've been buying. 

 
The beta was not good at all. Seemed to be the consensus. As the person above said, this didn't feel like a ghost recon at all. It felt like everything took a step back from wildlands.
 
Wasn't going to pick it up at launch, but for $30 ($50 - 20% gcu - $10 cert from BL3) and $10 back for pre-ordering, it seems worth it. While this doesn't have the same feel as Wildlands, it still looks like fun from the videos I've seen of those who already got the gold/ultimate editions.

Now without the $10 drop, 20% gcu, and $10 back for pre-ordering (negating the $10 cert spent), I would have just waited for the inevitable Ubisoft price drop. Plus I'm still so deep into BL3 that I won't be touching this one for a while. Straight up $30 day one though... that's nice.

My GCU runs out in NOV, but I feel I should buy this and Grid, and maybe NFS just to save the 20% and get the extra $10 because they probably wont drop until after christmas or black friday but not this low.

honestly this and NFS will probably be in the $25 to $29 range on black friday. unless the new NFS gets amazing reviews it will struggle to sell because EA has completely ruined the franchise.

 
I guess I'll have to check reviews before picking it up ha. I missed out on Wildlands; just didn't get around to it and the gold code expired which really pissed me off. Got into D2 late and had fun for a few weeks with it before seeing the light. It was a fun, good couple weeks but urban sprawls are just too boring and got repetitive.

I probably should have tried the beta but WoW classic man, fml. . .

 
Just reading some of that article... he obviously skipped the intro cinematic if he can’t figure out why you are even going to the island, and oh.. the early missions even has more explanation of the situation.

Bugs are bugs though, seems like they are all co-op?
 
Surprised we didn’t get a wildlands fire sale on any of the digital store sites. Going to pass on this at launch, all the initial single player impressions doesn’t seem so hot. I can put the gift card to Fire Emblem instead.
 
Thanks OP.  Canceled original preorder and just reordered since I refuse to chat with BB customer service who almost never know how GCU works.

Wildlands was a game my son and I both enjoyed playing together...hope this is the same.

None

Downloaded the beta and luckily I didn’t play that either. From the videos I have watched this game is a pile. As a gamer who owns every single Ghost Recon game, this isn’t Ghost Recon. The monetization alone is a fucking joke.

It isn't. It is a Division clone. If you liked that game then you'll like this one. If you really enjoyed Wildlands then you probably won't like this. there is nothing remotely Wildlands like about this game. It is a Ghost Recon game in name alone.

The looting weapons is just like Division and so is the social space.

The best was to describe this game is Division in the woods or a $60 stand alone expansion pack.

Yeah if you really enjoyed Division then this should be right up your alley imo. I mean I have nothing against Division and I think that it is a good game. I just don't like how they basically rolled all the franchises together instead of keeping the games different like they did before. I feel like Ubisoft is being lazy and instead of actually trying to make a good Wildlands sequel they were like...we'll just use the Division engine and mechanics. :( But yeah check it you might like it. I think it'll be on sale for sure around Black Friday tbh.

Now see, I enjoyed D2 up to a point when I hit level cap and the grind got boring thanks to the corridor shooter feel of DC. This sounds amazing and now I'm leaning back towards picking it up haha. Guess we'll see with reviews soon.

And now I'm more intrigued by BreakPoint as I enjoyed Division more than Wildlands

 
Exactly why I bought Breakpoint. 

Wildlands and Division mix is what it felt like to me, and I like it. (just wish I still had GCU for that extra $10 off.. oh well)

 
ACG says wait for a deep sale. Got a feeling this game is going to drop in price as fast as Anthem. Still debating over my pre-order since I can look at it as effectively being $30 after GCU and the $10 cert.

Ubi won’t abandon the game like Anthem was.
ACG also pointed out that Ubi said bug fixes were coming already.

I can see $30ish by BF/Christmas though. My $40 purchase I’m fine with. I’ll be too busy to start the game when it does go that low..

so i also pre-ordered before my GCU expired. What was your argument to get the refund? if they said to cancel and re-order then I won't get GCU discount since it expired. and I will loose $10 reward.

 
Just canceled mine. Just doesn't look like a fresh game and I'm in no rush to play it with Borderlands 3 still waiting to be played. I'll wait for it to be $15 or under to revisit.

From what I've played and seen, most of the actual issues (not just complaints about microtransactions), but bugs and such are fixable issues while the core gameplay is in pretty good shape. The core gameplay for Anthem however needed a revamp as bad as the original FFXIV did but it doesn't have the same fan support to help it survive long enough to get to that point.

I have until Thursday to pick up my copy so I'm probably going to wait and see if any patches drop between now and then. Give me an extra week on my Elite Plus price match window as well.

I’ve been playing for the past day, the core gameplay is great. I’ve only ran into a few bugs. I’m level 14 and have over 30k in game currency after buying a few weapon upgrades etc. the money isn’t hard to get from killing and looting the “objectives”
When you select an objective you can see the list of what you can loot, normally 1500-2000 in each place.
there really is no reason to pay for any of the micro transactions. They have removed the skill purchases “for now” and just have weapon blueprints and mods along with clothing/tattoos/paint.

Story, it’s not bad but not the greatest.
As far as single player goes, really only 1 main bug that I found.
Marking targets would randomly just quit working. I had to quit and come back into the game.

Someone had a great comment describing the game: it’s a mix of splinter cell, division, and wildlands. It’s not the typical ghost recon. Without a squad it’s different, more stealth and planning your attack. They heavily push the co-op aspect of the game to fill out your squad instead of having AI squad mates that get you into trouble like wildlands did.

I got into a helicopter and flew around the island to unlock bivouac locations, camp sites you can fast travel to, and I can see where they are going to expand the game, there are a few smaller islands just out of reach. And a restricted area that may be part of the game now? IDK, I got missiles shot at me pretty quickly so I bailed.
Not sure how exactly the island compares to wildlands but it’s huge. And there are a lot of underground complexes I noticed.

And those drones/helicopter/planes flying overhead... can mess up your perfectly thought out plan very quickly.
 
Same here, like the game so far, last Ghost Recon I got bored with early this one does have a different feel to it, and I love how it started.

 
Any word on when they plan on adding AI squadmates? Last I heard they would be added “post launch”. I’m definitely waiting until then to boot it up.
 
can someone post a link to the general  gcu pre-order thread? can't find it through search or browsing and i have  a question about an upcoming game and steelbook
