After a long delay, during which he played a lot of Breakpoint, Tony Coles returns to talk about a much-maligned game that he considers one of the best of its generation and one of the very best of its genre. Tony tries to justify this in a sustained assault on your attention span, but in doing so covers off his history with tactical shooters and gives and awful lot of advice on how to get going in Breakpoint in its most rewarding configuration, and how a pro-spec veteran player gets his shootin' and stealthin' on.
Later on, Tony makes outrageous claims about Tesco's retail warehousing and discounting policies and drops a C-bomb in a heated passage about Ghost Recon Wildlands, one of the most accidentally awful videogames ever made.
