Watching The Division's quick look makes me realize that one of the things I like the most about Destiny is that it isn't open world. Walking from point A to B just to do an activity just seems boring and a waste of time.

It surprised me to see Jeff so into it since the game looked really by the numbers and generic with a lot of walking in between missions. It seemed to lack a clear structure too.

 

[MassiveNights]

There was only one mission in the Unfinished. It's a beta, so Jeff was likely less critical especially of things like game structure etc. He seemed to like mechanics and combat and the concept of the Dark Zone in theory.

I am excited to try The Division myself today. I also like what I am seeing. Matchmaking for missions! What a novel concept!

Damn Bungie why is this so hard for you...

Little known fact: matchmaking is actually coming to Destiny. Bungie have started implementing it in their engine on their side, it's just that the computer they flipped the switch on has been chugging for seven weeks now trying to update the tools.

That Sunless Sea game they did a QL for a while ago is free on Steam this weekend.

Maybe so. But I didn't see anything on that quicklook that got me excited or that made me understand their excitement.

There's matchmaking for a bunch of stuff in Destiny.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

There's no matchmaking for story missions in Destiny.

 

[Xater]

Exactly. Even if they are putting it in now, that should have been there from Day 1. I also still think everything in that game should have it. If The Division does that it will already make me way more happy.

Wait, am I missing something or will the Beastcast be so late that it's been bumped off of the schedule?

They have to record it again, expect 4-6pm

Cluttering the screen with UI is so Ubisoft. I don't know why they do that.

They had audio issues. It's being recorded today and will be released later in the day.

Depending on your timezone, of course.

They learned from the best - mmo custom unit frames. Looks like home.

More like UIsoft.

Hey guys there's so much excess stuff on screen in popular Ubisoft game The Divison, maybe they should have called it The Multiplication!

I'm going to add to this discussion, that you should subtract that joke from your post history, I'm sure only a fraction of people find it funny.

Drew you damn silly man.

Mission Impossible 2 is the best MI movie.

But that fraction of people is quite improper!

Quit being irrational, they're real people too.

They're most definitely not imaginary!

No...

 

[popo]

Not bothered about the late podcast but I wonder if recording and editing today will kill the Playdate. I am guessing yes.

I am not sure if they lost an ep or the recording gear just preventing them starting. If they had lost a whole ep they usually panic on twitter about it. Well maybe not Vinny but I would have expected some snark from Alex.

We are in a minority on that.

MI2 for life.

where is xcom 2 for 36?

 

[Jintor]

first really catastrophic failure for my kerbal program. Apparently engines don't survive 30m/s impact on the mun, who knew. The explosion saved the rest of my probe though, so I got a little surface data out of it.

Gonna go do some reading and see what to do next.

Here at Funstock Digital, and discounted even further with coupon code JAN-COUPAW-SMART10. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but...$36...

Hm, are they legit/authorized?

 

[Salty Catfish]

I'm not sure and that's one of the things stopping me, too. Googling turned up one or two customer service horror stories. If anyone else has dealt with them I'd be interested in hearing how it went.

Same here, had to resort to Bill Burr's podcast for my commute. Not bad, but not the Beastcast.

I don't know for sure but it seems like they are a physical retailer too. I assume they're authorized. I only made one purchase from them but I didn't have any issues.

It makes me even more angry now that I actually know how they work when I get some I can't figure out. I couldn't even do the last tutorial puzzle in that area because I couldn't make it work. Clearly I'm missing one last key point.

I'm stuck there and it's the worst

Spoiler

i got past the tutorial and over to the next section and then hit a wall with the new stuff they throw at you.

I thought I had the basic rules figured out then the game stopped messing around and now I've got no clue what's going on.

 

[Bowlie]

Let's just be careful. Salty said something in the previous pages that would have made me sad had I not seen it already. It was one of the coolest moments for me.

I might be on the same puzzle. I swear to god I solved it, but apparently I'm missing something.

I even took a picture of it so I could fume about it today at work.

[EDIT] The above link is a picture of a early Tetris-block Witness puzzle. The "solution" I have on there is incorrect.
