Division seems to be doing well on the critics side of thing but it's always interesting to see the score difference between users and critics. On steam it's weird to see things ranked as "mixed" already.

Also I guess I should have figured this, but I didn't realize that most of the game was online only. Shame, I can see myself getting this game way down the line on a sale.
 
Division is awesome. Dunno why it's got Mixed reviews on Steam, I think it's just people hating Uplay or whatever? Weird. Anyway, it's pretty incredible. I haven't been this in love with a game's setting since Black Flag and this is even better. Had some amazing Dark Zone experiences too.

See I thought that too because Steam is a fickle bunch; hilariously there's a person with a review that reads "Can Uplay the game? No i can't." Has played 4.9 hours of the game. I love that feature of Steam so much.

But most of the negative reviews seem to be same missions, same enemy models, boring environment. I suspect a few people might be new to the MMO format.

It isn't really like an MMO though. It's a third person shooter. Like, what were these people expecting? As for environments, I think it's the opposite of boring, but that's personal taste.

Basically it's a kind of typical open world game with shit to collect and side activities to do, with linear third person shooter story missions, which imo are pretty good overall.

And then there's the Dark Zone, which is its own kettle of fish, and is really where the game is most unique. It isn't really like anything else. It's like a huge high-level dungeon where you're just farming for gear and stuff but also there are other players who may or may not jack your shit and also you can hear people who are near you, which is such a great feature.

I think a lot of people were expecting third person Destiny and this game isn't even that.
 
Nothing like waking up (again) sick as hell and having like 3 2+ hour videos to watch. Fuck U Flu! You can't stop me.

I always only see some image of a painting when people talk about it, so I asume it's like Mario 64

guys what should I do, I'm at a crossroads - I got roughly 12k on Day 15 of Summer and I don't know what to spend it on. I feel like my farm is a decent size and I don't know if investing in a lot of blueberries will be that great halfway through the month. Should I start getting a Coop and ranching?

Because THIS is your side-kick during the game. (They even joked about that guy looking like Austin during the E3 stream)

When I first played it I was certain that this was supposed to be your later-to-be sidekick (especially because you first see that enemy type in a "Flashback-scene") So I thought "Oh, that Jonnah guy was once with the bad guys but he changed sides. So it was a little weird when I shot him in the head.

Tell me I'm not wrong here, please.

that sounds like a modern day mmo inspired game to me. Slim main story, a ton of side missions and a loot grind. Ive tuned in to random streams and watching people play early game or the final mission and everything looks practically the same
 
Jesus christ.

Stardew valley is dangerous.

Also the division looks super boring design-wise, but I've long since tuned out all things modern/near-future shooters.
 
That reminds me of the time I watched about 30 minutes of Heat before realizing that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were not the same person.

I can't really explain how that happened.

The first time I watched The Departed i didn't realize that leo and matt damon were different characters. Made the movie awfully confusing for me

The good thing about that is, if you don't eat that stuff regularly you at some point realise that it tastes terrible. At least that was the case for me.

I finished the thing alone and enjoyed it. I am definitely more positive on the whole game than the bomb crew is. Well except for the story stuff, all of that is indeed dumb. It does have it's issues though and that definitely includes the end game.

man, there was a dude here named Sergol with the same avy as you a while ago
 
I don't know what I like more.

Alex and Vinny playing a horror game and being jumpy
Or Dan and Drew playing a horror game and being jaded about horror games.

From what I've heard Layers of Fear isn't a terrible horror game though.
It's no Countless Rooms of Death, that's for sure.
 
Hey guys.... A bit of an OT question but I asked in the Tech Support thread and didn't get an answer.

Which brand of HDD are good nowadays? I remember hearing bad things about one of them recently but I can't remember which one.

I woke up this morning with the idea of formating and swapping my HDD in my PC so I want to buy a new drive locally (no time to order online)...

I'm seeing Seagate Barracudas for examply which is an ok price

I already have 2 SSDS for Windows and my games so this is mostly for storage... Don't need anything crazy fancy or high performance. My current HDD is starting to get slow and make weird noises so it's making me nervous.

The weirdest part is that he looked like this in Tomb Raider:

When I started Rise immediately after finishing TR, it took me a while to realize that it's the same character. I thought he was Polynesian and not black.
