What to do with Chromatic Aberration? I tried it out but not really noticing a difference. Usually this is something only seen in PC games, right? What does it do?
 
Yeah, the A.I doesn't look like nothing to write home about. I don't know if it was because they were in a group, but i saw at least 4 bad dudes just walking past Gothalion while he was standing right next to them.

Sounds like a server problem not a AI problem to me.
 
I really don't like the Dark Zone at the moment. You walk in and it's just a PVP arena where you have no time to explore.

I figure this should settle down a bit once folks get adjusted to the actual strategy of the area. But A LOT of people will be complaining about the DZ come tomorrow.
 
Not my screens. And not truly the best quality. See some compression. But with Xbox screenshots not really working atm with the beta. Its the best we can do haha.

Wait? These are supposedly bad? Can anyone explain why?

They look damn good to me.

Well, it happened a lot of times. It was not like a lag problem. Clearly the A.I just choose to focus on other players and wasn't aware of the surroundings.

Well,we are all in beta where nothing matters at all and people didn't have to pay big money to get in. So, yeah, it'll be a shit fest right now :D
 
GAF response seems pretty tepid.
Beta has only been available since 9am this morning (UK time) and on one format (Xbox One).

That's what I felt like to begin with, then I got invited into a party with three other random people and we just messed about for around three hours going after AI enemies and human players. I ended up with so much good loot.

Oh and the game looks amazing at night when there's a blizzard.
 
Can anyone help me with the pre-load.
In the UK here and it says on the PSN Store that This product cannot be purchased at this time.
I thought it was open for preload?
 
So does the Beta go live tonight or tomorrow? It's weird that they're counting the 28th as part of the beta, though that is the east coast american in me talking

Edit: Oh I see. XBone only today. Got it.
 
As someone who played the alpha, the beta looks and feels much better. I can notice the improvements for sure.

I was already super impressed with the alpha so this is great to hear, holding off on the xb1, will try ps4 tomorrow and pc over the weekend.

It does look good when compared with actual playable XB1 games.

It looks bad when compared with Ubibullshots from the initial unveiling let's-pretend-it's gameplay CGI era.

Initial unveiling gameplay that was also likely using a high end PC rather than an X1.

I thought people understood this?
 
... Okay? About an hour and a half ago I was able to connect just fine to the servers. Now I get on to play with my brother and all I am getting is the MIKE error, my brother was able to connect fine. Tried reloading the game, turning my console off and on again and nothing. Constant MIKE error....

Never mind, took 5 million tries.
 
The game is pretty much meh for me right now

The armor variety is lacking
The shooting is okay
No stealth options
Collectibles galore for Xp
No civilian interaction other than pickups
All these buildings .. only a select few interiors
Minimal character creation (only face, hair) and weapon customization

In the beta, yeah. Not sure what people expect tbh.

It's not a game... It's a beta

Did you enter a PSN code? Otherwise you can't download it directly from the store listing, unless you have pre-ordered digitally, then you can.

I feel like people did the same thing to Destiny. If the idea of running the same mission over and over for marginally better loot doesn't sound good to you the maybe you should ignore this game?

Me? I play the hell out of Diablo, phantasy star, destiny

I love games like this.
 
Lol Dark Zone in the beta

Its there to degrade the image quality, so it works for that game.
Somehow it adds to the ascetics of that game.

That said it should be nuked from orbit.

And here I thought people really loved CA. I'm keeping it off. Not really noticing it anyway. I'll keep the sharpen image setting at 80 or maybe even off. I definitely see slight stair stepping if I look real close when I use that setting.
 
There are still 2 months left, I'm rather skeptical there will be any significant changes to game-play, but they certainly have enough time to listen to the community and make small improvements here and there.

Don't judge a game by it's beta :)

Did your level transfer over? I was in alpha too and won't be home til tomorrow - really not feeling releveling so I can use better guns in DZ.

Edit: Also, DZ is meant to be PvP. I hope they go even further and add a DZ-XX that allows you to select 1-2 items you keep on death, but you lose everything else. Also hope they implement trading with others - forget if it was in or not but I thought I saw something that made it seem like it would be in.

Gee it's almost like your only playing a portion of the game and not the full release that wont happen for another 5 weeks.

I know right, it's like it's a beta.
