in that group of 3, did all shoot at you and hit you? It's by a first shot basis.
If one guy shoots you, they go rogue, if you shoot someone that didn''t shoot you in that group, you go rogue
i love my getaway strat, down on person and gun it lol

Well I've played on Xbox and PC.
Both looked fine to me but PC is obviously better depending on your rig.
PC feels like the place I'll pick it up, aiming feels much better with a mouse. Able to get crits and hit people behind cover easier.
Dark Zone feels awesome, grouping up hunt down rogues or people in manhunt status. Killing people for loot. Just really appeals to me even if the loot from my beta levels isn't all that great.

Personal rule of thumb for me is:
If you shoot me first, your getting bodied. If you let me know in time it was an accident, I'll even revive you after I put you down, which has happened a few times so far and I've been on both ends.
Also, tip:
If you find yourself on the run while rogue, the extraction point on the parking lot roof has a building behind it you can zipline and guard until your time is out. The zipline that would make the space hard to defend is out of bounds, so you only need to guard where you come up.
There is damage done threshold that has to be passed in order to be flagged as rogue. They shot you few times, but didn't pass threshold so they didn't get flagged, but because you returned fire like any smart person while passing threshold you got flagged as rogue.
Game gives a lot advantages to those who plan on killing someone, and can even bait their target into turning into rogue.
What is not nice?

I would imagine so. The story seems to revolve around you going in and unfucking NYC in a timely manner. They would have to completely redo the art assets for the entire city for other seasons as well. Would probably be too large of an undertaking for anything other than a year 2 big expansion.

It doesn't matter where you are. It does not look good.

Makes sense, if they would make it for all 4 seasons this game would be approx. 100 GB or larger

I'm playing on PC and I almost want to say there's literally no recoil in my weapons. Maybe there is very minimal recoil but I can't really notice any recoil at all. It makes the gunfights feel terrible, it doesn't feel like you are actually shooting with guns (not helped by the bullet sponge enemies).
After few hours this game is probably awesome for people who want to really dig deep into it. Personally I'm not feeling this game at all. Neat idea, but not for me.
On graphics, the game neither looks shit nor amazing. It teeters a fine line of mediocrity looking better during some weather conditions and time of day while flat during others. The textures, smoke effects and character models aren't doing anything for me, but their overall rendition of an apocalyptic NY is a good one (specifally in the DZ)
This is interesting. I can't say I experienced that feeling at any point during my session.

That's a great screen!
Yeah I have plenty of criticisms about this game... the look is NOT one of them. Of all i've played and seen it's a gorgeous game!

Everyone complains about the graphics and i'm playing it on the lowest setting with 21-30 fps for almost 5 hours now and i really enjoy it
But why ? You have a PS4, no ? You could play on that by pre-ordering digital and downloading the beta, then cancel.
I've got a Scar H that recoils all over the shop.
I can't understand all the 'looks like trash' comments, it seems every single game always has loads of people hating on visuals.

I like the gameplay, like the graphics, the setting and love coop games but ultimately can't help to feel this will be small pickings come release, just not enough things to do and too much repetitiveness might kill the game. Don't get me wrong, I know there will be more content at launch but not sure it will be enough for me.
I already feel bored after spending a couple of hours on the beta, kinda reminds me of Destiny in that regard

The alpha/beta is very limited (1 MAIN mission). It'll be interesting to see how much content is there at release.

Guys ,I have a hard time switching to my handgun .Holding triangle does not work.
This is what I was afraid of. I'm used to the satisfaction of having to learn to control the weapons.
Bullet-spongey enemies are unforgivable as well

Yo this game is great, I'm having a really good time just walking around the city shooting people, found some good loot and some cool looking clothes too, which I'm a sucker for in games like this.
Double tap triangle.

You will still have to learn guns on the pc. There is still recoil. It's just a bit easier to control on the mouse. The game is an RPG first with a higher TTK. Unforgiveable? no. Not your cup of tea? maybe
Double-tap Triangle. Also I found this to be unresponsive at times. (I believe the currently equipped weapon has to be fully selected or drawn, before being able to switch back to handgun)

Yeah I know, I really hope there will be a decent variety of content. The hospital mission either on normal or hard isn't really engaging to honest.

Yup certain parts can look damn nice and others where the lighting seems to be missing or it just looks kind of bland i guess. Overall very clean though, coming back from either Batman AK or Rise of the TR and then seeing this.....holy crap.

Thanks
Not to mention most of the skills and ALL the perks and talents are unavailable, so the non-existing variety in the beta is on purpose.
I have similar specs to you (only difference is my i5 2500k @ 4gHz) and can only get consistent 60fps at medium settings. That said, it still looks pretty great.

How the hell do you switch shoulders while aiming using kb/mouse?

I can relate to this. I've played a bunch of the Alpha and now the Beta and while there will undoubtedly be much more in the full release i'm also worried there might not be "enough" to keep me interested for the long haul. A lot of repetitiveness and locations that are super similar paired with no competitive multiplayer experience might make me wait on reviews etc.
That said... Destiny needs some serious competition so i'm hoping to be surprised by the content that comes in the retail game.
I'm early into the beta but I also don't see how anyone can say this game looks amazing...it doesn't look bad but there are tons of low res textures and overall less then impressive graphics...maybe night-time and some different weather will change things up but right now during the daytime the game looks very average from a graphics standpoint
What difficulty is there to be had in a bullet sponge enemy? Wouldn't you rather have AI that's actually smart or skilled enough where they didn't have to rely on 50000 HP to be a threat?
It's bad game design. You could even mitigate it like Metro 2033 and Last Light do by putting bullet-proof armor on specific parts of the body that you have to shoot around or destroy before you hit flesh, but you are rewarded with very low TTK if you can shoot around the armor.
It's weird because some people say the recoil is great and really kicking. Some people are like me, saying there's pretty much no recoil at all. Doesn't seem to be platform specific issue either because I've seen people voice both opinions on PC.

No, it's player interaction when in close proximity to another agent.

Ok, not bad I guess. I was expecting high setting though :/ Anyway, 13GB left to download before trying the beta, thank you for answering
