I can't bring myself to enjoy this game. Story gameplay seemed bland and there's nothing to do in Dark Zone but extract materials from NPCs and other players. Was really hoping the beta would sell me on the game, but it pushed me as far away as possible.

I played the alpha or whatever it was a few weeks ago. Is this new beta basically the same thing?
Also, any word on how the X1 compares to the pc version e.g. X1 is equivalent to medium PC settings etc. etc.

Left on the D-Pad, you will go in ''grenade mode'' aim and shoot with R2. If you wanna cancel the grenade, press circle.

Just tap left on the D pad and then aim it. You only need to hold it to select which grenade.
That's what I was doing.
You also get something like 300xp for cell phones and other collectibles. So it's worth to pick it up if you see it on radar.
the level of detail in the city of Manhattan is really impressive...the cover system is also very well done...I also just realized that there were more graphics settings which I didn't see initially and some of them were not maxed out...game still doesn't look as photo-realistic as the earlier trailers but it's still a nice looking game considering all the detail they packed into the city

...lacks reading comprehension.
Just playing all side missions and some random encounters will get you there.
When is DF doing their write-up?
I'll grab it anyway since I had a lot of fun with what little is there but I wish Massive would go a bit more in depth as to what we can expect in the whole game, will there be more things to do in Dark Zone, what else is there.
I'm in anyway since Amazon did a an error and I'm getting my copy for 16$ so no way I'm cancelling it but I played a good 15 hours and had lots of fun, I can see it being repetitive when the game release but hopefully there'll be a lot more to do.
I agree. The city is packed chock-full with detail. Sometimes there's so much detail and it's so sharp that it's distracting, to be honest. These first screens are like that, all those garbage bags in the street looks so clear and highly detailed, it's insane.
The only complaints I'd have about the graphics is that the distant buildings look pretty bad, texture-wise, and the lighting can look very, very bad when it's clear weather.
Eh. The game does look good, but It's massively (heh) downgraded from the E3 2014 gameplay. The fidelity is not there. Not even the PC version looks like it.
From what I've played, load time seemed a LOT faster on PS4 when fast traveling, game seems more responsive when doing a 360 quickly compared to Xbox One but they'll end up pretty even. Fire and smokes seemed better on PS4 but I could just be crazy as well.
I hope DF will cover the beta.

I really wanted to hate this, not be interested or bothered by it, but fuck, it seems to scratch an itch I didnt even know I fucking had.

Gunplay and abilities are absolutely superior in Destiny. Willing to check the final version out, though. There's really nothing left to do in Destiny, regardless of how good the core gameplay is.

Played for a couple hours and I'm liking it so far. I'm not blown away by it or anything, but it's fun. The Dark Zone is definitely the best part of the game; I wasn't really enjoying it all too much until I headed there with some friends.
There is only 1 and some side missions
Seriously doubt gunplay is better than destiny.

Game feels pretty bland, not really impressed. Maybe if I was playing with some friends idk.

I was exploring the dark zone together with another random player, and we extracted tons of loot. Basically each extraction point was filled with 5-6 players and everyone was friendly, only 2 or 3 times someone tried to kill. Alone. They died within seconds.
So far I don't see why you want to go rogue, you won't gain anything?

Not impressed it does look good somewhat
Game is fun and has a solid chance to do well.
My main concern is content.
I have explored almost ever part of the initial areas, heck I even walked each block and found 80% of the various collectibles. Did all content, have 50% blue gear, including about half blue mods for my M249 and M19 Police. Yes I played a ton today, certainly not my typical day.
Problem is this looks like I played about 30-40% of the non pvp zones on the map and the missions are somewhat repetitive. Is this going to be like Destiny where after a couple weeks I have completed all the single player content and only have PVP left? Has UBISoft said anything regarding content depth, schedule for new content, special events etc?

Rescuing the medic? Well then I'll go for side missions... Thank you!

Took a while to get the cover system....
You get to take people loot and if you go to the highest rogue rank, after 5 minutes you get 777 dark zone credits. Every time your rogue timer finish you get some money.
My group mostly were pacifist and hunted rogues, when we had pretty much no upgrades left to get we went on a murder spree but come the real release we will probably most likely only hunt rogues and don't go out of our way to engage people.
Obvious troll is obvious.
You're right, but I'd rather just wait for new Destiny content anyway.
Even if Destiny didn't exist, I don't think I'd be interested in The Division.
Would getting a couple of weeks of play out of a retail game be a problem?
well.. im fucking loving the beta (xb1... the put me on the waitlist for PS4 version... bastards)
I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLy wish there was a crouch toggle... i wanna stealth so bad in this game.
Anyone have XB1-PS4 comparisions? i feel like XB1 is 900p it has that same fuzzy look that ACunity has... but thats just me eyeballing it... does it look and run the same on PS4? need to know which version to go preorder.
(saw the gifs above.... should i turn sharpness slider up all the way? i dont want to add sharpening if its basically doing what TVs do... fake sharpening post-processing filters or whatever)

I just spent time with my squad in the dark zone hunting other players and stealing their loot. I played the alpha but didn't like it then. Playing with a group is the only way to play this game. I went from no way in hell am I buying this to I am buying this after spending hours on it this time around.

Yeah, stopped playing for now but my friends were not getting their loot pop up but they were in their stash. Probably a bug of some sort.
