The Division (PS4/X1/PC)
 

Okay, this game is officially on my radar.

Same. Been following it for a while and was bummed when I heard it was delayed. Found this showing off some gameplay:

Could have sworn there was a thread on this...

I certainly couldnt find it. If you do, by all means, merge.

It's gone. I find it hard to believe a thread wasn't made for this epic game, but whatever.

What's gonna be hard is this coming out with Destiny and Halo 5 in my library. I may not have time for this.

Did they reveal anything new about this at e3?

Cause the trailer I saw certainly didn't. They may as well have shown last years trailer.

You can capture bases.

With this also being an MMO-ish shooter like GTA Online and Destiny (and Borderlands to a degree), and all of us pouring hours into them, what would you like to see in this? What would you like retained or done better?

I'd like Manhattan to be huuuuuuuuuuuge. Really take some time to explore all points from Battery Park all the way up to the GWB.

Anyone gonna be on the beta for the X1? Wanna try it out, but again, its a game that kinda requires team play

I'll have it.

GT is Fignuts82 if I'm not on your friends list. Think I am already tho.

Dark Zone looks like an interesting take on pvp. Thats gonna test some friendships.

Drave's on XB1.

Any of you guys on that willing to give an early report card? I'm jumping in when I get home from work on PS4.

Taking half day - I started the download, but it seems to be slow for me here. I'll jump on as soon as I can.

Got a beta for UFC 2 too :D

So after watching GB's Quick Play of this, I realised that I just didn't get it before. Not felling the shooting a huge amount, but there's so much going on I dig it. Think I'll wait for a sale.

For those interested in the beta but missed out getting free keys, several retailers are offering beta codes as part of their pre-order sales for the game at the moment.

I'm digging this right now. Really just screwed around and did some side missions. Didn't do that first major mission or get to the Dark Zone yet.

Only concern I got right now is travel. I don't know how much of Manhattan we got to play with, but it felt like forever just going from point A to point B. Wonder if they'll take a page out of Destiny's book and give us dirt bikes or maybe we can restart the subway or something.

You have my attention, Ubisoft.

I like it.

That is all.

Was tempted to preorder to get into the beta but never got round to it, I'll just wait for the release.

Havent tried Div. yet, but I have been impressed with UFC 2...seems they really improved the grappling controls.

There are "climb up and activate the tower" missions.

Oh, ubisoft.

Really enjoying this so far...my only fear is that I wont have enough pals online to play it consistently. Dont really care for randoms in games such as this, Destiny, Diablo, etc.

Yeah. Found those kinda stupid. I learned from the first one and the 2nd one I did I went and looted and killed first, then start the timer.

I only played for about 30 mins so far, and Fignuts dropped in for about 10 before I had to put the baby to sleep. (Sorry Fig, fell asleep putting the baby to sleep :()

Definitely a very fun game so far. The first thing I did was "setup a base of operations", which I don't think was the first thing I was supposed to do but I wasn't paying attention.

The Dark Zone sounds intense and I can't wait to get there.

The Dark Zone is amazing. Very tense not knowing if you will be shot at any given moment.

Definitely will be more fun with a squad of friends, but not bad solo either.

I have to read more, I have been blasting through tutorials and don't understand where loot comes from (other than other players).

Maybe muck around more outside the Dark Zone and try to get some gear. I will be buying this game for sure.

I think the loot comes from enemy drops.

Drops or items you find. Found a nice blue assault rifle in a duffle bag inside a locked apartment.

Just read some that this beta is in such high demand, there's a wait list on players waiting to get in.

And a little more than a day left to play.

I BARELY encounter shit outside of the couple of story missions, guess that is why I feel like that. I'm going to make this more of a night to sit and really dig into it, so long as my daughter isn't up all night.

Kinda bummed it was 1 major story mission. Ah well.

Into the wild west tomorrow. Gonna poke around the corners of the map and walk the sewers, too. See if I missed any open doors.

I'll be content if I land a exotic............I mean "high end" piece of gear tomorrow before it closes down.

You get your Destiny outta mah The Division! :rant: lol

BUT, BUT, IT'S GOT THE SAME COLOR CODES! I GET CONFUSED TOO EASILY! lol

All in all, good fun in the Dark Zone this morning. I like how it's a blender of PVE & PVP.

Had a moment this morning where I had to send my gear out. I fired the flare and the next thing I know, here come 4-5 players coming straight at me. All were neutral, but I thought for sure I was ripped to shreds by bullets. I was waiting for the "awwww fuck" moment.

Turns out they were cool and just let me be. Gear got out, continued on my way.

This just in:

Ubisoft extends the beta for another 24 hours.

Wooooo!

Spent a lot of time in the DZ and love it. They should just leave the beta up until launch and expand the test. It would be good for stressing the servers as well as increasing the DZ population.

Finally encountered some NPC's and was able to gather some loot. All greens now and next time I head back to a stash I should have enough to buy some blue gear from the DZ vendor.

The only stash I can find is back at HQ at the post office.... am I missing one?

Really fun game.

Just got around to giving it a try today. Seems interesting. Haven't ventured DZ yet, just basic campaign/wandering the streets shiz. Funny how the beta made me go from "I don't care" to "maybe I'll give this a try". I'm still not super fond of anything involving UPLAY though, but at least this didn't try to make me remember my password for it.

Gears of Destiny

Yeah. At the docks where you start the game.

UPDATE:

Beta closes 3 am. PST Tuesday morning.

Tried Dark Zone... didn't really "get" what was going on. Seemed really rare getting any lootable encounters, and while the concept of "rogue" is a neat PvP wrinkle, I didn't really appreaciate being baited into it (had some asshole keep shooting me until I killed him, then suddenly I'm the asshole!), and there didn't seem to be too much upside to killing red players.

So, if I were to pick it up at launch, do we get to keep our shit, or is this an excercise in futility, where everyone starts again at one unless they microtransaction themselves into a frenzy?
