I guess so but a gritty realistic game where shooting someone in the face with a shotgun amounts to a slight wince is really off-putting for me personally.

That my biggest issue with Borderlands. I don't like all the passives in the skill trees. If they gave more active abilities (say, like a Mass Effect) on top of the loot stuff, i'd be a happy camper.
I'm really looking forward to playing The Division tonight.

yeah thats what I was really hoping for with BL2, instead it was pretty much more of the same. The weapon brand stuff really fell flat too.

During the beta I had a similar disconnect due to the game having a 'real' setting.
We pick up trinkets and enchantments in RPG/MMO games which may increase your crit by 1%, and think nothing of it because it's magic, those items don't exist. But looting an extended magazine mod in The Division and receiving just a 3% capacity bump kinda made me question everything I like about gaming for a brief moment.
After the first game, I hoped Borderlands 2 would fully embrace its Diablo roots with full paper-doll loot slots, procedurally generated levels, dungeons, etc. Still holding out for something similar in B3.what if the next borderlands Is like destiny.

I think the realistic setting is my main concern about longevity of The Division. I think Brad said something that summed up my feelings. Being tied to a realistic setting limits the enemy and setting variety. There's only so many ways to depict humans and realistic settings. With other MMO games like Destiny or WoW, they can go fantastical places and really play around with the aesthetic and visuals. The Division has to stick to realistic and I think that can really hurt the awe inspiring feelings you can get when you step into a raid. I can't see The Division getting across the feeling of the first time I stepped into ICC in WoW, for example.

I don't know what that day is other than just about the saddest song ever so I have to do some research to figure out where the happy applies.

Yeah, part of the fun for me with these games is seeing the kind of insane shit that you fight at high levels or at the end of a raid. If it's just an endless parade of dudes in kevlar it'll lose some of the appeal.

My whole frame of reference for the holiday is through Sufjan Stevens, so we're on the same page.

It absolutely could if it went global. Dropping into Berlin, or Shanghai, or Tokyo could be very cool
But...eh, the industry's record for doing that sort of thing tastefully is sort of spotty
If anyone's interested, a new episode of TeamGFB is up with Lang and Boyes talking about DICE. http://teamgfbradio.com/episode-78-ccgs/

I'm tempted by the Division but I really shouldn't buy another game right now.

This isn't Ubisoft's engine i.e. Anvil/Disrupt/Dunia. It very much seems built from the ground up to be Massive's engine.

every time i get the itch for the division, i just have to remind myself how little I've played of Borderlands 2 and how quickly I burned through destiny's content minus the raids which i'll likely never do.
Then, i realize that I should just wait till it's dirt cheap in like 6 months on PC.
Also happy Casimir Pulaski Day everyone.

Yeah, I keep thinking about pulling the trigger...but for $60 I damn well better be able to pour my time into it, and right now I have just too many other games to play to add another one to the list.

The problem stems from the fact that because it is open world the skin shaders cannot be too complex. The character models are better than many open world games but they have to skimp in places. They also opted not to go balls out on hero character models so you'll notice it more in cutscenes and the like.

Oh man, I so cannot wait for Borderlands 3. I know 2 gets harped on a lot for a variety of reasons and it's certainly not perfect, but playing through that game with a couple college friends was one of my favorite gaming experiences.
Also I'd never heard of Stardew Valley until today, after that QL I need to pick it up.

I'll probably pick up Stardew Valley sooner or later. I saw on PC Gamer there was a mod to replace the character portraits which was something that bothered me. If there's one to replace some of the character sprites that'd be great too.

I think Dan tweeted about watching it a couple of weeks back.Hope they talk about Lucha Underground. It's on iTunes now so Dan no longer has any excuse.
