The Hard Truth About Enjoying This Game

๐ŸŒ JOIN OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/DeefActual I think we've all felt it at some stage, the desolate loneliness that can come with playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint solo, when we've nobody to bring it to life with - and I just want to say, I'm right there with you, but I've developed my own approaches to playing the game, which honestly give me better focus, and more joy in the game, than I've ever had since I began playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

playing alone sucks the words that would make my decision to quit playing games for over a year but then something changed having went from playing with friends to being completely alone I saw no point but I miss playing games a lot I dove into solo play and I realized quickly yes playing alone can suck but only if you let it so let me show you how I enjoy playing solo as we start off by hitting up one of the most notoriously difficult camps in Ghost Recon breakpoint let's get to it [Music] than
k you [Applause] oh crap they again laughed they're coming [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] all right I've got an M4A1 and an M1 911 pistol that's about it let's do a little bit of eavesdropping here Rocketeer yeah I heard this guy talking nothing happening here but I did not hear that guy if I can spot this other guy we'll make a move on The Rocketeer got him let's go [Music] all right let's get up close and personal with this Rocketeer here I don't want to give him a chance to pull out his pi
stol no contact in this area thank you okay let's do a quick Recon I'm seeing one two three aerial drones and a ground drum and a lot of foot patrols as well and a really solid Chopper which I'm gonna need to hold on to if I want to get to my next objective okay plan I'm gonna continue working my way around the perimeter starting with this Watchtower right in front of us and we're gonna go down to the docks as well because when I was coming in from the beach side right over there I definitely sa
w a watchtower with a sniper in it so with at least two snipers to take and some patrols but first things first this guy coming up here he's gotta go non-negotiable so I'm gonna wait here see what he does let's get this guy nice and isolated foreign good night all right let's move okay let's have a look here hmm so the flying drones are actually idling right beside our Target and if you fought against these flying drones before you'll know if they spotted their body they go in the high alert and
they just start zooming around the whole Forest so it's not worth it not yet anyway okay they're moving now time to shine lovely okay let's get to the other side check out the docks and actually let's slow it down for a moment I don't want that sniper spotting me let's see if we can get a shot on that sniper here yeah anyone at the Docks I can kind of partially see one guy my view is a bit obstructed so I'm gonna move around get a better angle it looks like it's just him okay I think it's time
to pop that cloak and spray maybe a little bit of optic camo just for a moment I'm not going to abuse the camel I just want to use it to see for the helicopter just as a insurance policy if the bike man decides it's time to take that helicopter and ride off into the sunset he's gonna have a rude awakening it's my helicopter okay mine foreign sniper up ahead he's looking my way too I think [Music] any grind Patrols seems clear on that side maybe on this side though Rocketeer okay let's head right
back just the grindrome let's have a look in here don't fight it um I think I'll pass on tests a second pan I think this guy might have been practicing his family recipe voice is on my right okay let's have a look got a patrol over there [Music] one down there all right let's work away ride the perimeter and take out this guy to the right oh two enemies something is here let's give it a bullet blur oh there is no way he didn't just see me those helmets man no good for the peripherals at all rig
ht let's push into the server room okay okay they're definitely here somewhere and who's that that is our Bag Man but is he alone screw it and that is the chopper Sith because if there's no bag man there's nobody to steal the chopper except me just checking the sides these aerial drones are right above me right now okay oh I should have checked that better what are you doing up there I wish I could crutch walk like this [Music] footsteps behind me let's push this guy oh yeah I didn't think he wa
s that close [Music] all right let's mark up these drones I can't see this third one though [Music] [Music] red beret let's take a bite two out of three not bad but three out of three [Music] okay I was actually just about to look for the grind drone but I guess he's looking for me oh he looked at left that's gonna cost you man that was too big time [Music] I'm still hearing voices so there must be a patrol somewhere could be down at the Docks actually let's have a look [Applause] standby to eng
age so we've got our Chopper and it's relatively undamaged I'm actually just gonna take the C4 back New link with the chopper and our location already set for the next objective we're gonna take off and head to the missile site ruins just north of here on Gollum islands and we're here to destroy some data servers should be fun looks like we got one Sentry looking over the cliff he's done did a bit of Recon with my drone beforehand and I find a tunnel entrance from the water side so I'm gonna app
roach that and see if we can get inside [Music] okay we got one two three and a fourth but he's not visible close proximity to each other though let's give it a go [Music] okay we might be clear but I'm gonna double check just to be sure [Music] thank you enemy present he's isolated no I don't like this way too many doorways clear behind so let's pop these two right let's Circle back we're in the left hand tunnels and I'm just sketching out any french Patrols clear so far one enemy present two e
nemy presents he's moving that's our cue seems clear in here sounds like those guys are in the control room and I think the best course of action here is to blur the mud and isolate them um they see this body I think they Jake's up let's get them moved that is what I call a close call let's get this overfella out here get them nice and isolated oh yeah sweet dreams man big giant red helmet hmm I wonder if he painted that himself all right let's disengage and reapproach from a different angle and
I really hate going through this room there's just so many angles to see in and out of it very much like the control room actually this is awfully quiet around here too quiet let's explore down here looks empty at the minute clear behind as well let's approach this nice and slow clear so far hello I think he's alone it may not seem not packed but I guarantee that control room is jam-packed with Wolves at the minute let's double back around try and catch him on the flank they're moving there we
go oh he's double back there he is I mean I guess we got a three for one but think they know I'm here nice so might mean that reinforcements are incoming yep here come the reinforcements [Music] foreign yeah I think I need to heal that's better what the flashbang right oh crap come on I really should have brought the extended bag for this I do love this Factor though such a beast especially in the close quarter setup unreal and signs like they're pushing out and pushing down from the top level s
o I think it's gonna get pretty hairy here pretty quickly just listening let's switch out the lights hmm I wonder are they gonna push out here pretty difficult to get into this room because it's so easy to defend from the inside so pushing in is going to be the risk factor here there's no way he saw me hiding around that corner come on oh we got one oh nope nope let's try Flash I don't think that went the distance one more all right let's disengage from this fight oh we got ourselves a runner oh
sorry fat finger let's wait these guys on they know I'm in this room they just don't know where gotcha is he alone I can hear someone that can't be alone there's no way do we get this guy down here okay we've got one guy left I think so we're gonna push that control room and see for the server so the good news I got in the control room the bad news is a lot of reinforcements have arrived from behind me what I say a lot I mean a lot so I haven't seen forward the data server just yet just trying
to stay alive right now oof I'm gonna have to heal [Music] oh man just give me a moment [Music] hmm maybe I'm okay I'm gonna treat these guys as some frag Grenada hello undone two down I think there's one more left all right I think we're clear [Music] yeah I'm done here I'm on my way

4:39 I meant "Slow Is Smooth, Smooth Is Fast", and I realise the pistol name is pronounced "M nineteen eleven", must not have had my coffee ๐Ÿ˜‚Anyway! After showing the good times I have when I DO have a team mate, I wanted to show you that's not always the case, in fact it's pretty rare. I play solo quite a lot, and I can honestly say, these little things I do when approaching any encounter/mission/whatever in Breakpoint, really help me focus and in the end, helped me enjoy the game a sh*t tonne more than I was before. Like for the algo if you enjoyed (did you spot it at 23:49 ? ๐Ÿ˜…) and thanks for watching everybody! ๐Ÿ’ช

@LordSesshaku

Playing alone is an essential part of gaming. Most of my favorite games are singleplayer only. I congratulate you on finally discovering the joy of just letting yourself immerse in the game, no distractions, pure mental roleplaying, storytelling and fun.

@TheChrisLouis

That intro was better advertising for this game than anything Ubisoft has ever put out. They need you on their payroll. Awesome cinematic sound design btw. The cuts and editing were incredible also.

@Zatracenec

I always prefer to play alone. It comes from 80s and 90s era and I still love it. Yes...MP is awesome, but nothing compares to be sucked into game alone. Great video!

@trickeryisafoot334

Breakpoint and Wildlands are 2 of my favorite solo games to play. I love the sicario vibes in Wildlands, and the whole big tech private security feel in breakpoint. The immersion in both are quite lovely.

@carterskindle7086

That intro was cinematic as hell. Your content is actually so well edited, paced, and explained. Keep up the amazing work.

@OxideOnline

Oh boy, alright. Came to watch this, and after I was having a read in the comments, and I can already see people complaining!? about it being DEEF on his own, about it being DEEF without FX on his voice - Listen to yourselves.. could you just stop for a second and give the guy and this (brilliant, frankly) video a proper chance? We will make CO-OP content together in the future again, but I feel like you're being a bit harsh about what is, frankly, a bloody brilliant video. Give it a proper chance, he's clearly put buckets of effort into this new vid, it slaps. Just sayin'! ๐Ÿšฌ

@Bryattack1221

Bro it is 2023. Despite an absolute STACKED gaming lineup this year you have, with one spectacular video, convinced me to exhume Ghost Recon from my backlog graveyard and give it a try. Well done!

@peagle8373

12:18 Is a masterpiece of transitions, so smooth, well done with all of the work you put in that video, keep it up !

@AbysmalEnd

This channel is so underrated. You deserve a million subs. I'm going to like every vid and share. Ubisoft should have you there when it comes to building the story and ambiance. I feel like I'm watching a whole new game.

@geesegoose6174

The amount of good editing and how little editing was done make you superb. The way you used the animation to transition missions was magical man

@tobitornado7472

This is hands down one of the best, most engaging videos of this kind I've ever seen! Respect to the CLEAR level of effort you put in. (Perfect amount of commentary as well.) KUDOS!!! my hat is off to ya!

@OutlawMaxV

The immersive editing in this video is outstanding, very rarely do we see this level of cinematic audio/video production to a gameplay video, kudos my dude

@Combo_Lab

Your editing style is unique man, I love that this isnโ€™t just raw footage and that you took the time to go back and stitch it together the way you did

@Nexus-.9

Man you make single player look fun af wish I still had that feeling I got when younger and would play solo games endlessly enjoying the worlds

@dantexkv9983

In less than 15 minutes (the intro and the first 3 takedowns) made me a fan of you and reignited my love for Ghost Recon that we all love and enjoy !!!

@BlindxSide

The thing about playing alone is that you need to use your imagination a lot more. I enjoyed playing games alone as a kid because I had plenty of it, but as I've gotten older, ive not been able to use my imagination as much... making most games less enjoyable... but hearing your narrations in this is inspiring to give it another shot.

@hoodievon0137

Love the vids bro. As someone who plays solo a lot, this ironically shows Iโ€™m not alone as a mostly solo player. Your editing and narration is amazing and really deserves so much more appreciation

@e.j.aproductions996

I just found your channel after ive started playing gr breakpoint and i absolutely love you. This is exactly what this game is intended for. Keep up the good work man!๐Ÿ‘

@stevethetitan414

This man is everything I aspire to be in breakpoint
