So, almost two months in after getting The Division, if you haven't gotten it yet, wait. Each patch so far has made the game worse. I'm hoping by the time there is a paid expansion, it gets better. The story was great, but once you beat it, the rest of the game has become a shit-show grind fest. It has the potential to be a fantastic game, I hope Ubisoft/Massive quit fucking it up.
I couldn't agree more about the Division. The story mode was probably the best game I have ever played. After that point the majority of the map is completely useless, you fast travel to the daily challenges, there are no more missions in the main map area to do, no real farming for loot either. The dark zone has become repetitive and you are on an endless grind to reach level 75 for the best weapon blue prints. The crafting system is fucked up, it takes way too many materials to craft gear. Overall, right now, the game is glitchy as fuck. People are using every exploit they can dream up to level up faster, the get better gear by short-circuiting the incursions. I play on console and from what I hear it is 100x worse on PC. The cheating has made the game completely unplayable and the developers are doing nothing about the cheating. Once or if they figure it out, it will be worth it but not now.
Been playing Battlefield 1 on PS4. Probably the best BF game since Bad Company 2. Anyone else been playing it?
I did. I am still playing The Revision (Division) quite a bit though. The operation option for multiplayer is pretty awesome. I just feel like you are going to have everything for every class unlocked in less than two weeks unless I am missing something?
Its a bit different than Battlefield 4. The main problem with that game is that it had way too many weapons that all pretty much felt the same. So in this game you level up, but you also level by class. Weapons are unlocked from Class Ranks 1-3 and then a super weapon is unlocked at Class Rank 10 for assault, support, medic and scout. Getting to rank 10 takes quite a bit of time and the way you can scrap other weapons to put towards battlepacks is a better system I think. If you want to party up - my PSN ID is Darklemming.
You unlock them through the normal course of leveling or you can scrap weapons you've unlocked and use those scraps to buy battle packs.
I hear you. Hell, I worked for them for 4 years. I didn't pre-order it (I can't understand anyone pre-ordering shit, at all), but I have to say that this game so far is worth every penny. Just my $0.02
Not sure if you all know, but Humble Bundle is giving away Dirt 3 complete for free for the next little while: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/dirt-3-complete-edition-free-game I just redeemed my Steam code... you have to do it soon or they expire.
I'm not sure if I linked this correctly but has anyone seen this? It's a long way away but I'm pretty excited about it. That said, those of you who are more tech savy... Is this as big as it looks?
It's kind of laughable... PC Gaming has been able to do this for years, and one of the big "fuck consoles" points of view has been how they have had shit hardware specs, so much so that some PC games have been intentionally limited so that consoles don't look as bad in comparison. Basically, it's more of an "about fucking time you started catching up" event. So yeah, it's great to see consoles start to catch up with "real" specs (probably mostly driven by the huge hardware requirements for VR), but it's about fucking time.
Take a look at this comparison from just last month... you can see that the PC has much higher level of detail.
Wow, I've never kept up on gaming PC's but there is a clear difference. I'm also assuming that with the power it takes to generate the better graphics the game play would still be really good too. So basically this new project scorpio xbox is only getting close to what has been available on PC for a while? Interesting since they are hinting that the price point might be pretty similar to that of a gaming PC at $8-900. I am pretty much looking for something to run VR games when they come out. I guess I may need to a bit more research.
I thought the whole point of game consoles not having computer graphics was the economics of producing the graphics for a price point that wasn't insane? Personally I could never justify the huge upfront cost of a gaming computer and the repeated hardware upgrades needed to keep up. After the PS3/Xbox360 generation I gave up on the console competition in graphics too, they were close enough that it didn't matter. Even the video Nett posted, yeah there is a marginal difference, are we really debating the rendering of undergrowth grass ingame?
