Tom Clancy's The Division [PS4, XO]

[Scott_Arm]

So the season pass has been announced which is three DLC add-ons over the next year and a loot trading feature. There will also be some free updates.

"The three paid expansions are Underground (June,) Survival (Summer,) and Last Stand (Winter.)
Underground “lets players explore the uncharted underworld of New York City. Players will chase deadly enemies with up to three other Agents through an endless maze of tunnels and subways” according to Ubisoft.
Survival “will challenge players to survive as long as possible by gathering essential supplies in a very hostile environment.”
And Last Stand sounds like the most story-driven expansion, when “a new threat rises as players and their squad must prepare to defend against a relentless foe.”"

The standard game is $60 USD and the Gold Edition, which includes the season pass, is $100 USD. That's an expensive season pass, which seems to be the new trend.

I'm buying this physically and then gonna sell it as soon as destiny got new DLC.

Because I just want to finish the campaign. Loot hunting is never my liking and the gameplay is boring, very boring (at least it was boring on the beta)

The gameplay is boring. Very boring. I'm buying this!!!

Huh? :-/

No other games to play

Are you hoping I used by free time for something productive instead of playing games?

Yes, I hold you to a higher standard than myself!

So Brooklyn is definitely in the game, confirmed. (Xbox One screenshot).

 

[Scott_Arm]

Is that brooklyn or is that looking the other way from Manhattan?

 

[Niebotskick]

He's actually standing in Brooklyn, which is the starting zone when you create your character.

 

[DieH@rd]

Here is the quick video comparison of retail and preview versions of Brooklyn

 

[Niebotskick]

He calls it a "close match", but it's not a close match at all. Anyone can see, that even with the different time of day, there's quite a difference in quality. That comparison makes it clearly evident, and should shut up anyone who says it looks the same as the E3 2013 trailer.

 

[Clukos]

TD includes cheap SSS for skin and snow, a welcome addition, snow looks great in the game.

 

[ultragpu]

Have to admit the iq looks gahd damn sublime on the PS4, very good AA and decent amount of AF too as I swiftly stole them from Gaf.

Now it's out, how viable is it for single player? In guessing not great but the atmosphere really appeals to me

 

[Jupiter]

Actually Ubi's own upcoming Far Cry Primal looked tons more impressive graphically, as well as EA's Mirror's Edge, very likely Mass Effect Andromeda and most certainly Horizon. But then again it wouldn't be Ubi if there's no downgrade.

Game just looks average now, nowhere close to the promo trailers or clips ubi's shown. Gameplay doesn't look that interesting either, might be skipping this after all.

Dubious comments. This reminds me of NeoGAF.

But there they complained 100 of sites about the graphics. What a theater .

I played that beta single player first and it's fine...

The fights is boring, the story did not grip me.

But! The 'echo' I found when strolling in this destroyed city is epic!

The sound design is just crazy good.

Its like a mini and short radio sketch show. But with a very high production value and clever scene arrangement and selection.

From the silly echo to the sad echo to the bombastic echo, all are epic (at least the ones I found in the beta)

 

[Scott_Arm]

Anyone have it? I decided not to get it until I saw extensive reviews ... and since there are none ...

 

[DrJay24]

I canceled my pre-order. Nothing about the preview videos looked fun. Real world TPS with bullet sponge enemies?

 

[dobwal]

I've played for a couple hours. Playing the beta twice makes the first part of the game kind of meh since I have gone through it twice already. But there is more stuff with at least two more major missions and a ton of other little diversions.

Brooklyn seems more akin to beta in term of scarcity of missions and encounters. But once you make to Manhattan it seems alot more littered with things to do from the get go. I am not sure if means the sp will be better as I've chosen to do all the old stuff first to get it out the way.

 

[iroboto]

Wasn't going to buy it. But the peer pressure was ridiculous.

Lol so I'm playing it right now. I'm at the point st which the demo starts.

It's ok? Hard to review

 

[dobwal]

I'm going to reserve my judgement until I get into the meat of the game which I have been exposed to yet.

It's not like the first portion of witcher 3 was all that compelling in the first portion of game. And I can image how I would feel about the game if my experience was limited to playing the first map threes in a row before making it to baron
