The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

That's a great question that I wish I knew. I'm going to play just because I'm really loving the game. As much as I love R6 Seige, if this game would've come out sooner I don't know if I would be playing Seige.

The level progression and weapon progression is really well done. Knowing each gun has a level and damage rating the directly influences the damage being dealt to higher level AI players is great.

The comments about the weapon progression, I couldn't agree more. During the course of the beta I have absolutely loved playing around with different weapon setups and mods. It's already fairly deep in the beta, imagine how much more amazing it will be when they throw the whole crafting aspect into it, can't wait for the full game!!

A few of us in our team chat were talking that eventually they should put in some sort of zombie/mutant enemy as the environment would be perfect for it in some areas. Could make for very tense moments.

Also, I dunno if you found them but there are flamers, snipers, guys who charge you with bats, and guys who set up turrets. Hopefully more are in retail too.

If this were the case now, I would definitely be keeping my pre-order alive.
Like you said, it's the perfect environment for a zombie apocalypse theme. Especially if the zombies were of the '28 Days Later' variety.
Heck, maybe even have different types like we saw in The Last of Us.

Then base building would mean something as you'd have to leave to gain supplies, find rescuers with specific skills, etc.
Add in perma-death, and you have a game I'd be all for.

I find it refreshing to finally play a game where the AI is "only" human. Would it be cool to have maybe a zombie expansion or something down the road? Sure... but the human vs. human combat is part of what I've enjoyed so much. Makes the game feel much more gritty and real to me.

Please, no Zombies. That theme is so played out.

Again, I see no downside to it as long as it isnt forced on anyone. They can set it to its own area of the map or make it just a temporary event like MMOs do

Still on the fence if I wanna get this or not... Will I struggle playing this game solo?

Isn't there a game on the WiiU like that? I think it's called ZombieU or something like that. Wasn't a fan of it when I had the WiiU.

I more or less played it solo on Friday night and had no issues.

Only 5 weeks out before retail release! Can't wait. With all the side games I have backlogged I should be able to pass the time alright

Still can't decide if I want to do midnight digital or just stick with my Amazon order.

I went digital like I do for most games. I usually buy retail on the sports games since they're yearly and I can trade in.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I installed this, but if I only have an hour or so tonight is this worth it, or more worth playing something else?

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Instead of zombies, would be cool if they had a angry infected mob, that would maybe free roam the DZ, or even outside of DZ.

Imagine going down deserted street, only to turn the corner to angry mob heading your way. [emoji32]

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Keeping in mind the two world/story/settings are different THIS IS THE MUTHAF'ING GAME DESTINY SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

I dont mean in setting and story but I mean in the RPG/MMO mechanics. I Destiny you could get the latest expansion, play it hard core for about 3 weeks and be done with everything while you sit and wait 6 months for the next expansion.

Now that I've got that out of the way. The game rocks. People who say the game is beautiful though I think are a little too wrapped up in the Eurphoria. The game doesn't look nearly as good as what they had been showing in videos at E3 and promos leading up to the launch of the beta BUT.. and this is a big BUT.. this might be the first time ever that I've forgiven a company for that. I do suspect though that all the awesome screen shots and in game footage they had been showing us for months now probably game from the PC version running with all the stuff cranked up at 1440p if not at 4k. I'm in the PS4 closed beta but when the open beta hits in a couple of weeks I'm going to check out the PC version and crank all the graphics up at 1440p and see just how different it looks vs console.

I can tell by the design of the actual game and RPG system itself that this game has a shot at serious longevity if they keep it up. How your skills are and how you need to find a balance or hit certain numbers in certain areas of your character to make full use some of your weapons abilities is great. I can tell the way they are doing things there's always going to be a reason for you to play, level up, find gear, craft, etc. etc.

I've seen a couple people complain about the Dark Zone and getting ganked out there. Well I'm sorry but to me that makes the game exciting and will keep it from getting stale. It brings me back to my olden days of World of Warcraft when you were out in a contested zone and you'd get jumped by 2 other people while you simply just wanted to quest. Sure it wasn't fair BUT what it did and what this game does is motivate you to get better at the game and motivate you to get better gear, upgrade your stats, etc. Case and point me, my bro RGmoney and KramerKing were getting rolled up on by dudes and probably we were loosing more fights than winning.. then we worked our way towards getting the Caduses and well, we fear no suckers now lol...

At first I thought it would be cool to be able to roll up on other people on my friends list and gank them but I understand why they don't allow it. It would make it too easy to always constantly greif someone because your friends always show up on your map so it would be too easy to find them the whole time they were on.

I see myself playing this more than anything over the next few months with the occasional break back into BF4 and the new UFC game coming out... oh and Xcom 2 for PC #masterrace lol

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Well said Ceasar. I agree. it feels like the game I expected destiny to be at launch
