I don't get the spongy enemies complaint at all.
It's about the same as what it was in Mass Effect games. Do people forget that this is an RPG? Even the tutorial lady stress it on her first sentence, it's an RPG.

Anyone with both the PS4 and X1 beta's? How does it look on the PS4 compared to the X1 version? I'm playing on the X1 and trying to decide which version to get. It looks good on the X1 and runs pretty good also...

1 story mission ?

I want to see more of the narrative. I liked the voice acting and the face animations.
Also, the music is a nice surprise, very fitting.

Edit: While having a very clear IQ, the game just looks bland as hell when there is no sunshine. Doesn't look that great. Okay at max.

It looks and runs better on PS4. It is imo quite a noticeable difference.

This game is so far below my expectations it's unreal and I didn't have high expectations to begin with.

First of all, my God, it looks like ass.

......

So far this shit is the opposite of fun for me.

wow I did not expect to see positive reactions at all.

I agree Rex. Initial impressions raving about the console graphics had me excited to get play under way. That myth was dispelled in the first 10 minutes...

Oh well, I thought perhaps the beta will be salvaged by the game play. Sunk 2 hours into it and it felt far more lke a chore than a game.

I pre ordered to access the beta. Thanks Ubi, preorder cancelled (and thanks EU PSN for making that easy).

Graphics are great, not as amazing as the first reveal obviously, but I'm happy with what I see.
I'm also impressed by the details of interiors in apartments. They're so varied and detailed.

Yeah you lost me there. Sorry it's not working out for you but it doesn't look like ass.

Anyone else feel like the gunplay is similar yo Ghost Recon? I think that's why I love it so much.

Felt more like r6 Vegas to me. But yea, it's like having ubisoft shooter in an RPG world. Lol

Not getting this complaint at all. Enemies seem to drop fine for me with a few controlled bursts to the noggin. I had no problems at all and I don't even consider myself to have that great of an aim.
Maybe it's just the shotgun? I have not used it.
Click to expand...

I don't get it either. Every enemy I've come across has dropped in a reasonable amount of shots. Even the yellow bar enemies, except the bosses, but they are bosses so that's expected. This complaint is flying right over my head.

Not at all. It's done in such away that the gameplay feels right, and it helps suspend disbelief enough that it doesn't bother at all.

It was my primary concern going into this game, but it works very well.

It feels much more authentic than the firefights in several other games I love.

Deus Ex, Fallout 3/NV/4, Metal Gear Solid1-V, all have completely Unarmored and sometimes near naked enemies that can take .50BMG rounds to the face several times in a row without dying. And I managed to love those games.

It seems like it should completely disconnect you and break immersion, but when it feels right, you get used to it, and it plays well whist still immersing you.

Honestly, no more that putting 15 arrows in a human thug, while a buddy whacks him with an Ax 10 times and another buddy drops 3 exploding fireballs on him before the boss human thug dies in WoW.

I see what you both are saying... makes total sense. I think the main thing that made me go "whoa, wtf is this" is that i had expectations of realistic damage coming from it being a Tom Clancy game with super realistic portrayals of the situation, location and disease. Personally it just seems to clash. Like if Mario 64 had a magnum pickup. Ok, maybe not that obtuse lol but you get my drift.

im liking this as expected, but will have to wait for reviews, just to see if there is actually enough game in the full version

It does look slightly better on the PS4. Not by a significant margin, but the image does look cleaner.

Still, nice to know that both consoles are running 1080p

I'm with you on all of this. I think people will realize that there's not going to be much to do. They'll get tired of fighting bullet sponge humans that set up like a dunk hunt gallery and funnel towards you in waves, utilizing the same routes over and over. They'll soon tire of exploring areas that all look the same. We'll see loads of complaints that there is not enough content.

I dont think the game is "bad"; however, i don't think it's going to be anything close to a hit. I really wanted to see it give Destiny a run for it's money but i just can't see it lasting more than a few months as "something new to play besides Destiny that's kind of like Destiny".

Clearly you have played the entire fucking game to make such claims. You clearly do not like the game but love coming in to talk shit about it. Just be done with it man.

I had that happen a bunch in the Alpha. Normally happened next to areas where geometry met. I believe they were aware from the Alpha forum and addressing this.

I really appreciate the amount of customization allowed by the game. Not just graphics (PC) but all the UI stuff being tweakable is great.
Click to expand...

yep. A lot of people do not realize that you can customize your HUD and some graphic options on console as well. Wish people would try things before crying about them

Played for a bit and got bored quick. Just going mission to mission, kill these guys, loot this, etc. Not my kind of game I guess.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
I can only play it with everything on low and low fps but i still have a blast with my group.

The game is pretty awesome. But the 1 million dollar question still remains, how long will it be awesome?

Also playing the game with mouse & keyboard feels great.

I actually dig the game for what it is. It's an internet forum and there hasn't been any shit talking. I think most of us are discussing our experiences and time spent with the game. You know - opinion. I've spent probably 20+ hours with the game and wouldn't have done so if i didn't like it. I'm not sure if you're new to internet forums but it does sound like you should probably take a breath.

I was initially really put off by the HUD but then I saw the options menus and tweaked it a good deal. I think the HUD is still a bit too busy at times, but I also really like all the in world stuff, even if it's visual noise parts of it look neat.

It does feel really good on KB/M. It also feels really good on controller as long as you mess with sensitivity a bit.

1 change and it sounds like Diablo 3 and I have over 300 hours in that game. Some of us (lots) like that crap man.
