Better or worse than Destiny
Glad to hear that it's not as long as Dream Team. Those minigames though...

I did it all alone so I imagine it'll be even shorter with buddies. The missions aren't necessarily long but getting there takes most of your time. Thankfully, you can sprint for as long as you want.
Well, it's more like upgrading. You unlock a base and then for instance to open the security wing, you'll need to get a particular guy and when you do open the security wing you can upgrade it by getting resources and all by doing security missions for example. Opening and upgrading each wing add onto your set of skills and mods for you to choose from that is associated with that certain wing.
I think it's better because it's tactical which encourage more teamwork in whatever you're doing. Also, it's not about "Telling the story about how you got some bull gun" lol
Edit: It seems to have an intriguing story but really can't judge it since we only see a very small slice of it.

Actual gameplay that requires teamwork like in a Destiny Raid but in regular play? Intriguing.

I'm about to go down a deep, deeeeep note-taking hole to try to solve this puzzle in The Witness.
I'm probably vastly overthinking what's required of me... but I need to know.

It doesn't fuck around if you don't take cover, all of my time playing the game has been behind covers and moving from one to the next. I didn't even try Dark Zone but things there seem even worse since human players can make a chaotic mess of things especially mixed in with A.I lol.
Edit: To be fair though Raids in Destiny are ridiculous in the amount of things they want you to do with your team at the same time but it's nice to see teamwork involved even when it's basic gameplay. I imagine the later missions/DZ stuff will require heavy use of teamwork.
After finishing the beta, I went back immediately to doing this haha.
This makes me wonder if there is any potential in a toy-to-life gunpla game.

That's basically the plot for Gundam Build Fighters.

That's 30 seconds longer than I lasted.
It's crazy how polarized Ubisoft is. I mean one year we get molten hot garbage like AC: Unity. But we also get Far Cry 4. It's feast or famine with their games. They're either great or crap, very little middle ground.
Hopefully good Ubisoft showed up to make The Division.
This is probably a really stupid question, but how did you select to the story mission singleplayer? In the unfinished it looked like it immediately started matchmaking them when they selected a mission unless I just missed something obvious.
yeah but level ups! exps! lewts! gunz!

So what's the story of Divison exactly? Weaponized virus and I assume general anarchy?

I'm just really glad Massive is making something as big as The Division. World in Conflict is such an incredible and ridiculously underrated RTS.

I wonder if I'll every get back into big budget shooters. Interest for me has bottomed out.

The story related missions are the big green icons, they have "Mission" written on it. The smaller icons consist of friends(people from your friend list who are playing the game I'm guessing), encounters and side missions. As soon as you start the game you're dropped into this hub, you could match up with other players/friends or just head outside to do your own thing without anyone else, I'm sure you could match up with buddies even outside? I didn't try but it would seem dumb to me if you couldn't.
I mean, part of why I loved The New Order so much was that it was just a shooter.
I didn't see XP AND RARE MOBS popping up like it feels like every mmo does now
I watched the whole thing (◔ᴗ◔

I know a lot of you are over The Witness talk, but I wanted to share a dumb realization that I just had: the

if you need them. I kept running into puzzles with colored stars and kept hoping I'd blindly stumble upon the tutorials -- and then I checked
. Dumb and obvious, but it helped me a ton.

you can come over my place and i can show you my collection in person.

I appreciate after all the GOTY stuff, Brad is owning up to wanting some 'bos to unlock content.

MS sent me a code for some reason. I figured maybe because I've been in their rewards thing since it began.

I got a free one for PC from Nvidia. Apparently it's a contest? But I just put in my email and it immediately gave me a key that I plugged into the Division beta site and it added it to my Uplay account.
Ah looks like it expired. Oh well... Looks like I've seen pretty much all the content in the Unfinished anyway.
I'm 115 puzzles in and the satisfaction of figuring something new out is incredible. It feels like I'm in a constant conversation with the game; whenever I solve a puzzle that's part of a sequence I can almost listen to it go "yeah yeah, well done, now how about this?" as it grins to itself thinking how clever it is.
It's great.

Taxi Driver, Oldboy, Lady Vengenace, The Raid, The Raid 2 -- Dan's holiday movie lineup was strong as hell. Sounds like his girlfriend has good taste.
