The Division beta was awesome!!! Way better than the Alpha! I was very skeptical about this game after the downgrades and delays, but finally playing a good version made me SO EXCITED for the full release. The Dark Zone is addictive and I cant wait to explore and get to the end game content. The action is very fun, shooting mechanics are amazing, think Gears of War meets Watch Dogs. This Snowdrop engine is exciting. Cant wait!!! and I agree with ricku1967, i don't know what they are smoking but the graphics are amazing, the New York setting in winter is beautiful
I got one of these as a christmas gift this year because i thought paying 150$ myself for one was just an unnecessary expense. After a solid few days of gaming with it...... It's life changing....
The build quality is unlike anything ive ever seen, the magnetic hot swap sticks and paddles are so smooth and have no wiggle and play in them at all. I can't believe Microsoft made a product this good. (Now if they could make a freaking wireless chat headset Jesus....)
The button customization makes you never have to worry about any janky preloaded control schemes ever again, and the paddles will change the way you play a lot of your old favorites. I Opted for the two short paddles facing up, gives it a better feel without accidental clicks. But being able to turn paddles on or off with a simple double click of the pairing button is perfect, and being able to load 2 profiles into the slots for on the fly switching is awesome. Perfect for having a custom chopper profile for battlefield, or like Reach when i changed it all around to fit the more modern feel.
I normally dont go for hyped overpriced stuff..This is worth every penny, and I'd gladly buy another. This is not a controller, its the pinnacle of controller evolution over decades of consoles, and every piece of it is extremely well thought out. Love it... No i don't work for microsoft.....
Wow! thats a bit harsh for a game as perfect as this. Launching with barely any bugs or glitches and masterfully fluid with the most satisfying and challenging shooting in years! I dunno what Kevin is smoking but this has been the best game ive played in a long long time. I enjoy the bullet sponge bosses it makes encounters incredibly difficult like they should be, and for the hardcore audience its a blessing to finally have a difficult game.
But lets give this fresh idea and brand new IP a 6 and then give call of duty some bullshit score like a 8 or 9 like always....
Unfortunately some people just don't understand the excitement of the challenge. With so many games holding your hand the entire way through their 6 hour campaign thats a distraction from the lackluster multiplayer, the Souls series is a tribute to the games of old. The older generation like myself I feel enjoy this more because it reminds us of the games of the past. Beat the game in 3 lives or start over days of old school Nintendo.
I believe you just missed the point... Even though it was staring right at you. You went all the way back every time you got to a boss to dump your souls so that there is no risk.... The Souls series is about risk vs reward. Are you brave enough to take on the challenge and possibly lose your hard earned currency, have you perfected your skills. This was obviously not your cup of tea. You might feel more comfortable with Elder Scrolls and its completely disconnected lifeless combat and incredible amounts of extremely boring story content and book reading for skill points.....
Ok that was a little harsh. I just mean to say that I respect your opinion. But I do feel like you missed the entire point of the game. Either way it has no bearing, and it is refreshing to see a reviewer go against the popular grain.
This is ridiculous, its 2013 are we calling scantily clad women "disgusting"? The entertainment industry is built on the premise that sex sells, especially the JAPANESE culture, every anime you have ever seen has more than half naked women in every scene. But that's not what disgusts me about the backlash....
It's the fact that Hideo Kojima is one of the best game directors and innovators that this industry has. Every single one of his games has more meaningful story, true artistry, and completely thought provoking content. Also, every game has an antiwar lesson to teach. Guns of the Patriots was a masterpiece, not on gameply, but on story. It had more hours of amazingly directed cut scenes than 15 epic blockbuster movies combined. Say what you want, but don't start attacking Kojima. He is and always will be nothing less than a LEGEND!!!
Looks awesome! Can't wait to finally replace my TV PS# for blurays and 360 for games with just one device. FREEDOOOOMM!!! (from all those damn wires and inputs) :)
@adjsaint @bigcr47 I agree, if it was me i would have had them slap in a graphics card that rivals a 780 and let them just run wild, the hardware in consoles still holds back the gaming world because it is so far behind pc and its now the most popular choice, but they can try to close the gap with utilizing the cloud and optimizing their exclusive hardware to get the very best out of it, at least its a start and i think they are giving developers tools to innovate in the future
@Dreamcast86 Hello...They can easily do this now if they want at any time... Why would developers block gamers? Where are you people getting these ideas? I'm sure thats the business strategy of every company "lets make a game and then block people from playing it..."
Why are all these gamers lashing out against technology advancing??? You obviously have the internet....
