The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Had an awesome time yesterday morning with Candy, Jared, and Mike. I jumped back on last night, and about 30 seconds into the DZ, I picked off a lone rogue and he had a blue M1A on him. Popped the extraction and got it the hell out of there.

Now the hunt is on. I like the SCAR-H marksman rifle, but it doesn't hold a candle to the M1. Just need to find a purple one now like in the closed beta and tear it up.

And yeah, I too had voice chat issues on the PS4 when in the DZ with Jared and Candy yesterday. We had to eventually just create a party chat.

The controls are just so tight and responsive in this game that it makes almost everything fun, even things as simple as jumping up onto a car or over a fence. All of the encounters and side missions and exploring are equally as fun as a result.

One other thing... Ubisoft is absolutely one of the best in the biz at creating/recreating a city. Their version of Chicago in Watch Dogs was fantastic and now Manhatten here is even better. Really adds to the overall experience.

Played the main missions last night and a few side things, have not touched the dark zone yet. I like everything about this, especially the controls. So far so good.

In Game chat has been so far, so good, after the they brought It up this morning following server maintainance

Edit

I stand corrected.

Our chat messed up as soon as someone went rogue

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Had an outstanding run with one of my boys, N51 and Choadler. Played for a few hours and the time flew by. Would've kept going if the servers didn't shut us down.

The problem when ran into trying to get in the DZ was our rankings weren't allowing us to join at the same time. I understand why they did it like this, but if all party members are level 8 and one is level 7 they should allow us in since we're a group. All is all, this game is designed for 4 players and its outstanding.

The group chat is well done, the party chat is not needed in this. It felt really rewarding to work as a team while in a fire fight, but I will say the torrent perk felt very cheesy. 3 of us had them, throwing them all down at the same time wasn't even fair.

They really need to get the ps4 in game chat issues fixed. It's perfect on Xbox one, not sure if it's a network differential problem or what

We've been demolishing rogues all morning. On a good run right now

Grouped up with dirtyjerz32 and n51 rob last night. It was a lot of fun. This game definitely feels like grouping is necessary to get the most out of the game.

It was fun, time flew by. Didn't even feel like we were playing for 5 hours.

I played all the way through the single player missions. My opinion on the game is it is pretty fun, graphics are insane good, but something about it feels soulless and empty. It is almost too much like Destiny in some ways. I mean the way the vendors are set up and how the leveling works..its just exactly like Destiny.

Additionally the enemies have zero personality. They all say the same thing over and over (i know its a beta of course, but these are my observations) and the don't even sound like you think they should. On top of that, they all look the exact same, except the bosses.

The only difference between the HQ in destiny and divisision is that you have to save people to first put together the HQ.

On top of that, the battles are all the same. Hide behind cover, maybe run around reposition yourself for some guys, and rinse and repeat. Its just a few waves of the exact same guys showing up and you are basically forced in a line throughout the beta even though the game is supposed to be a sandbox.

It doesn't flow like say, the Witcher 3, where you have tons of freedom and ability to just whatever the F you feel like. Again, I know it is the beta, but the feel of the game was not that open world to me.

This is crazy harsh and I don't mean to flame anyone who likes the game. It is just my opinion after logging 4 hours on it. It is rather fun and does not suck by any means, but with games like Dark Souls 3 on the horizon, I think I will probably pass on this one, as we all know loot based games require some investment.

Fins and I had the same issue last night. He was level 8 and I was level 1. After about 30 minutes it gave me the option to join him with the level 8s

We had 4 level 8s and it still mismatched us. That was my only "negative".

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I was really excited about this game when I first saw it revealed at E3 however many years ago that was. As time went on my interest faded in this game. I kept up with some things, but overall it started to remind me a lot of Destiny which I got bored of rather quickly. However, I decided to preload the beta on UPlay the other day just to give the game a try for the heck of it.

I was pleasantly surprised last night with how much I enjoyed this game. Maybe it was coming in with zero expectations, but I definitely had a lot of fun and was pleased with my experience. This game is beautiful on PC. I don't have it completely maxed out, but it's pretty close and this game is just gorgeous really. The environments are done very very well. The lighting is great and the sound is also done well in my opinion.

The gameplay itself is actually better than I thought it would be and you actually do need some tactics to be successful in certain situations. I don't like how many bullets it takes to kill enemies at times, but I understand that in a game set up like this with levels and whatnot that it kind of has to be done the way it is. I only played for just a little under 2 hours and completed everything except for 1 or 2 side missions left on my map.

I don't think this will be something I buy day 1, but I am glad I tried it out because if I see a sale on it, I'll probably jump on it then where as I would've never touched it before trying it out.

There was something off about that. He was in the DZ with us, we just couldn't see him. Very strange issues that could be Beta related.

So you can use the flashbang on non-hostile players without going rogue, and Bolt just used that to pul off a huge troll job at an extraction

Ignore my goofy voice we were talking in party chat as this happened

Edit, I took my vid down, I realized I'm cursing throughout it
EDIT

NSFW Language, and my goofy voice
