The Division Beta: Are We More or Less Excited Now? - The Lobby

Haha O'dwer is the best.

I got in the PC beta. It definitely did not check the boxes for me, it wasn't the game I thought it was going to be. People can use the, "it's just a beta" excuse but let's get real, the game is out next month, that was a trial version of the final product. E3 footage from 2 years ago looks 10 times better than what it did today. I played on mostly Very High/Ultra settings and it didn't look nearly as good as older footage. The shooting mechanics was nothing new, the abilities were cool but overall it just felt like I was playing Gears of War.

Hearing that the console versions will be capped at a max FPS of 30 pretty much decides the fact that I wouldn't even think about picking this up on PS4. Seeing how easy it was to hack/cheat/exploit, pick your favored word, on the PC version leaves me without hope for the game at all.

Just my 2 cents.

You're going to think this is crazy but when I first started the game on PC it looked like I had the settings maxed. Later on by the second time at least I booted up the game I double checked the graphics settings and it looked like more options were available to ramp up the detail so I did then I was actually satisfied with the detail and graphics.

After hearing about what Ubisoft is going to do with the PC version, it's like a kick in the jock. Why are they pulling a Watch_Dogs again? Sounds like they want to kill the PC department altogether. Uplay is why I don't play Ubisoft games on PC anymore, at least their older Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell games don't need Uplay.

I can't really see whats the excitement all about? Remove "tom clancy" and "ubisoft" and not tha many people would really care. All that you're left with is a pretty third person RPG shooter. Also this game is treamendously potend for microtransactions.

You need to play the real thing before making a real opinion. The game is decent regarding gameplay, but I fear that it will be very short and simple if you don't buy DLCs, which makes it a 'no-no' for me up until the point they release a full-DLC version at the same price (eg Destiny's Taken King)...

Can you guys actually put some subtitles, or write an article about it too? People who can't hear is actually forced to get what's being told in the videos from the comment section. (Sorry if there's a written article about it already, but I couldn't find it)

The free roam online mode (or whatever it is) sounds like GTA V Online -- where if/when you meet someone they instantly kill you...just because.

Which is the worst aspect of GTA V, maybe Ubisoft will fix that to discourage indiscriminate killing.

O'Dwyer seems to have a very negative opinion of the game considering he only spent 4 hours with it. But that seems to be the opinion of people who either haven't played the game or barely played. Despite his negativity, the general consensus seems to be pretty positive.

wow. This game sucks. Thanks for saving me $60.

My only gripe is you cannot crouch or go prone, and also to a lesser extent jump

They already released this video and titled it something different. WTF!!!!

Everything they said was pretty much what I assumed. Sketchy, glitchy, poor story, same old confused Ubisoft crap....

HAahahah. "Woohoo! Saving the day!" Well stated, Danny. The whole thing seems interesting. Graphically, EuroGamer did a very...sufficient side-by-side E3 and now comparison. The difference is distinct. It shows.

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 played on PC with ultra settings and it looked awesome, have no clue what this guy in the video is talking about. Does it look like it did 3 years ago? no, but it doesn't look nearly as bad as this guy said in the video. he must be playing on an old CRT monitor or something.

i played over 30 hours the beta and i played all of it alone, i even got the best out of some players that were in a group, and survived as level 5 roguefor almost 25 minutes, completely alone, you need to know how to build your character properly and be smart to survive in the dark zone when you are alone, but you can play alone and have a lot of fun, trust me...

Please take a minute and visit the thread I made. I have a list of issues I found with the Division. Add what you want to see changed...

I just wanted to say that I thought the game was pretty darn cool all in all but that they def have to work on a PVP/Douche zone where 'if one wants' they can go rogue and take out one another with a 'No holds' kinda deal BUT that they should MOST DEF put in an area(s) where there's a 'Safe Extraction Zone(s)' where the majority of us good honest respectful players can go without any ability to harm one another...CATCH???!!! Have intense AI wave-like situations at these locations to help reinstill the 'buddy' system that most of us want!!! Thank you for your time

Gonna mention this, due to UI design the writing is in an angle, to make it look good the AA is a bit on the extreme side, so I dialed it down a lot and added a bit more sharpening and the graphics started to resemble E3 version. With reshade to pump the saturation a bit and add some tint it will look just fine for me.

If you die in Darkzone, where do you re-spawn? Is it like you got back to the beginning of the zone?

Dark zone was meh, but I think that's because siege pvp spoiled me. But I had a lot of fun with friends in the one story mission. That said, I'm excited for the PVE missions and the 8 man raid supposedly. Dark zone not so much. Felt too empty that place.
