Looks like Ubi has let youtubers release a ton of new videos now.

e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3T9W2usuzc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhr8IArHtBM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFzTx9YfwJs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YZ_2HPdQXI

Some super big red flags in that first video... lots of glitches, talk of unsatisfying gunplay, and getting into another Destiny type game sounds horrible. I probably won't be buying this one but I've been very curious about it.

Watch some of the videos of gameplay. It looks like a lot of fun and generally-negative reviewers are coming out of the experience liking it way more than they expected to.

Do you have some personal stake in this game? I have seen the opposite.

Like even if it was super polished like it was in E3 2013, instead of butt ugly with lots of glitches, I still have major concerns with the "realism" angle. Playing against regular humans and only regular humans is gonna get really stale, even if they are inexplicably bullet sponges.

Seeing a regular lady get lit up by a flamethrower for 30 seconds and still needing half a dozen shotgun blasts to the face to go down in that jackfrags video is just weird.

I'll give the beta a shot and have the game reserved for $50 Cdn so it doesn't have to impress me much to get me to buy it but I'm still doubtful.

I've seen this in two different videos now - an inability to shoot down at a target from above unless they're far away. Angry Joe was complaining about it and you can see it clearly here at 07:12:

This feels like Fallout 4 all over again where the opinions of the game turned to poo poo weeks before release and anyone got to play it. I liked Destiny and I liked Mass Effect 2, so sounds like I will probably enjoy this game.

I will say it doesn't look nearly as good as that first trailer we got though.

Opinions on The Division soured a long time ago. There's tons of gameplay videos to watch, it's not nearly as secretive as FO4 was.

I have no doubt some will like it, maybe even myself, but I have major concerns.

Also I'd argue people were right about FO4 not being great but that's another thread.

Note matchmaking is a thing you can do for all the missions. From the vids I have watched.

The vids I have watched were all youtubers in the same building having their games set up by Ubisoft employees. If they really do have matchmaking that might make it worth a buy - I hated trying to find people for Destiny.

I'll be honest, the interior of the flat he just was in looked pretty sterile but the game looks quite good so far, especially the character design and clothing. I guess that's what you get when not developing for last gen consoles.

It looks terrible, but I'm desperate to play anything right now.

What's so bad about it? It isn't stellar, but it's not bad either. (At least if I turn video quality to "source" on twitch) I'll be happy to get slightly above Xbone level graphics out of this if I don't have to buy a flippin' titan card for it.

The AI on the enemies is my biggest concern. They're so braindead. Graphics are meh, world doesn't seem to react to anything. People talk without opening their mouths. It's basically just Watch Dogs, which I enjoyed more than most, but I can't get excited about it.

The lighting looks great? That's all I can say on the positive side.

Single player is not even a Destiny style MMO at all so why does it look like a two year old cross-gen game from the same developer?

Can't say I enjoy the Dark Zone much, shoot feels aren't nearly good enough for PVP. Beta story missions ending so fast has me already getting bored.

I'm assuming I don't need to save or anything on a console? I couldn't find an obvious "log out" or "quit this session" link, but maybe I didn't play enough?

There is a log out option but most modern games auto save all the time.

You are right. I used to live by 23rd Street and 8th and the building is there surprisingly with the same look and feel. It's pretty cool they did a full realization of the city. I wonder if in the full game how much of Manhattan will be playable.

The full game is just midtown at release. The beta looked to be about a third of it.

There is no consensus. Either you think it's fun with flaws or boring and one dimensional. Barring some huge info dump that shows the full game will have more depth, I'm cancelling my 40% off pre-order.

You sure are putting a lot of effort into dissuading people from liking this game. I and a lot of other people are finding it enjoyable. This is just a repeat of all the people complaining about Fo4 and anything else popular.
