I hope this is nothing like destiny, the destiny end game meta is horrible. Everyone looks the same and uses the same guns or subclasses. This is especially true in the crucible (pvp) everyone uses mida, last word,hawksaw,etc to go along with the same sniper (1000 yard stare). Destiny has too little content and until the taken king the in game story was shameful.
The thing I like best about the division is that the dark zone feels the way destiny patrols should have. You feel nervous when going in because you don't know how it's going to turn out. Another great feature is "proximity chat" this should have been a feature in destiny and it would have made interacting with others and finding raid groups much more fun as opposed to going to an lfg.
So far I'm liking what the division has to offer but I do hope that end game gear is much more diverse than destiny's.
I think what has hurt the game more than telling a good story is the repetitiveness of the missions, bounties, strikes and raids. Hopefully they can add dozens more. The pvp mechanics are top notch though, except for a bit of bad net coding which leads to more kill trades then there should be.
@Midzark actually no. Microsoft has xbox, xb1 AND windows OS which is the most popular pc OS in the world, all running through their servers. The thing is that Microsoft just has 100x more servers than sony and it's not sony's fault really, Microsoft actually needs them. Still sony needs to step up their game.
@xMEADx I cant imagine how kids today would fare in 80s and 90s of gaming. Games like contra and out of this world are epic because of their difficulty.
I personally like the loot system. I think the people who don't aren't spending enough time in the crucible, that's where I've gotten much of my gear so far and I'm only 10 or so hour in.
I think people don't get that destiny at its core is meant to be a competitive PVP game with some RPG elements added meant to keep you occupied when you don't feel like going into the crucible.
No one replays the story on battlefield or call of duty, all they do is play the multiplayer. Destiny has that great multiplayer but you can also do side missions and events.
I personally don't mind the grind since I'm an avid RPG player and I personally love the "grind" element but i know thats just me. I feel it really gives me a true sense of accomplishment since I had to spend a good amount of time to acquire what little I've got so far.
@Diddy_kong I agree if most of the people were kids Buts it's also many adults who don't have a set schedule to play. so when the network is down they lose out on maybe their only free/available time to play. This affects mostly the people with jobs and kids not the average 15 YO.
@WARDIE that's because Microsoft's server count is huge compare to sony's, so it's almost impossible to bring xbox live down. It's not sonys fault though since it would be absurd for them to have the same amount of servers just for the gaming division. MSFT actually needs that much servers because of all their software products, mainly the windows operating system.
This feature is great for people who are cord cutters and don't want to be tied down to a cable provider(in the US)
If they can add sport channels (espn, fox1, nbatv, etc) I really think this can take off. especially if it's an "a la cart" service where you can pick and choose.
Why does anyone read or respond to the voodoo guy anyway? The guy hates sony(he himself stated so) and so he always tries to find anything negative on every article. Not that I disagree with him on the ps now prices and he is entitled to his opinion, but it's hard to take anyone seriously when all they do is bring negativity into every conversation.
@Davros79 I agree completely with this. Maybe it was because it was capture the flag and not death match but pvp is boring to me. Maybe I'm used to playing 32v32 on bf4 or the huge maps on planetside also. Idk
I really enjoyed the CoOp missions though, especially when a random boss appears. All the random caves and hidden tunnels are great ways to find great equipment as well. I'm definitely keeping my pre order but not for the pvp.
If sony wants this to be a hit and improve sales in japan then it only needs to make a single game. SAO. make that and it will move ps4's faster than It can put then on the shelves.
It's obvious that they don't want to piss of xbox one owners even more, before the game is released. They are already crying over the fact bungie gave the ps4 exclusive content to begin with. Lol
@BornOfEvil yeah, I have nothing against the naruto games, they are very fun to play. But the series has died to me because of bad writing. The only reason I'm still reading is because I've read the Manga since the beginning and want to finish it.
Naruto was cool only till about the pain saga, after that it went downhill fast. Especially now that him and sasuke went super sayin in the last couple of Manga chapters.
i havent played skyrim on the ps3 but to my knowledge it was supposed to run like crap. was this true? have there been updates and stuff? i would really appreciate some info since i really want to give skyrim a try
i love monster hunter but im already bored of freedom unite. if this can deliver a comparable experience with in game chatting or messaging then its a winner. hopefully this comes out soon.
is this gonna come out on the vita? if it does im all over it. the reason i got a vita was because of the second analog stick and its potential for FPS games on the go
yeah MAG had soo much potential. i cant believe it wasnt a hit. how can you go wrong with matches of over 200 players? i hope they survive long enough to make another and do it right. theres nothing like having huge online battles
