you have to play with friends to have fun with this game, i am basically telling all my friends to get it otherwise it's brutally boring.
Depends on the game. This appears to be an open world RPG/MMO. 2 weeks for that type of game is pretty poor.

Wow. They really seemed to nail performance and visuals with this game. Good stuff.
Or you could use a less hyperbolic statement, how about that ? Not sure if you only played a few title but ''looks bad'' is not the first thing that would cross my mind playing the game.

Holy fuck!
Just ventured into the Dark Zone for the first time and it's soooooo good.
Not many Rouges, but you've got that feeling every time someone joins you in the extraction zone

Well, you can check the shots on gearnuke link also.
Those comparisons make me wonder about the people earlier saying the PS4 version was way better looking than the X1.

Not if you go against a group. Basically no chance to outplay them 1v2, if gear/level is the same.
You might be able to take down a group if they're busy killing NPCs, otherwise it's just frustrating.
You just echoed my previous post. If they have good amounts of content or at least add additional free content at a decent schedule, it could be a great game.

Yeah, that's kind of how i'm feeling. Dark Zone seems like a cool idea, but I wish it had some mechanics to make solo play more viable.
Man, had super epic moment when extracting my goods.
Me and 1 other friend had both 1 green and 1 white item, and we figured we might as well extract it.
At the top of the building there was a squad of 4.
We all just waited for the heli to come like we always do, like friendly people.
25sec left they nuke down my friend, i turn around, kill one of them in an instant and finish him off with a melee before going into cover.
Another guy tries to rush me with a shotgun, he fails and i manage to down and finish him off as well.
Down to 2 enemies.
Molotov + LMG one goes down and one barely makes it away, toss a grenade and BOOM last man down, and easy 2 man finish in the end.
All that sweet sweet loot, and all because they figured they could screw 2 people over.
Shame on you!

40 hours out of an open world game is fairly typical which is "a couple of weeks".
An MMO of course tends to have more but a lot of that is due to social trappings and rerunning content or just a slow treadmill to top out on levels rather than content proper.

People were honestly saying that? lmao! I need to see this so i can put people on my ignore list.
40 would be decent, just as long as it wasn't repetative.

If you find it hyperbolic then there's nothing I can do for you. It may not have been the first impression you had, but it was for me.
im more curious how the slider for CA, and Sharpness will impact comparisions.
Like, if PS4 version is 1080p and XB1 is 900p, if the sharpness slider is at 0% on PS4 and XB1 is at 100% will it look off? or if both are 1080p but sliders down for one and not the other... will it look like one is lower res?

Love the game, just what I was hoping for.
Don't really care for the dark zone, no fun in teaming up with a friend and killing shit just to get killed at every fucking extraction point buy 8+ people. I will be avoiding it like pvp stuff in destiny.
Can't wait till more, love running that 1st mission on hard getting a lot of blue stuff.

Did anyone who got an Amazon code get their beta activated on Uplay yet?

Is anyone else feeling that the "shooting" part is really bad? (At least in PS4)
Like the aiming and character movements are really irresponsive comparing it with other shootings, like destiny, COD, or even metal gear (which is glorious in controlling the character), or gears of war, is like the character move clunky and the cover system is awful. I already try to adjust the sensibility of the controller and didn't help.

all over the xbox version for this. Runs basically identical to ps4 and its chock full of players. Dark zone is great, all my friends are online on it. really good fun! Can't believe im going xbox over pc but never mind.

I agree. I mean it's a beta. I'm pretty sure it's not because of it being 30 fps.
Yeah I saw some people saying that earlier. I was sitting here rolling my eyes. Xbox version I played last night was running smooth as can be, except one area. I was going up some stairs in a building and the game hitched for a moment. That's it. Looked good, played smooth. I'd love to know what the people playing on PS4 experienced that made the Xbox feel so bad in comparison.
Seems pretty tight for the most part on PC.

love this game, been playing on the PC but not feeling the dark zone stuff. like going out to the waste land stuff but having to extract your loot is killing me. Been playing on a 2 man team and we have been getting slaughtered by rouge agents anytime we try to extract. Luckily have fount better loot replaying the 1st mission on hard so as long as that holds in the retail game I will have a blast with this one.
I got a few frame tearing on Xbox One and not on PS4 but there was a lot of explosion going on, not easy to replicate for all I know PS4 also has it just didn't noticed or encountered it.
They both played and looked great. Happy that everyone will most likely have a great experience.

I like the cover system a lot. It makes me feel like it's a turn base strategy like XCOM. When not in cover though, it can definitely feel clunk when moving around.
Shooting feels very inaccurate, and i'm hoping it has more to do with starter weapons and less the actual engine. I can confirm it feels pretty much the same on PS4 on PC, but I played a lot more on the PC. I will play more of the PS4 version tonight.

Sure it's been asked or I'm missing something obvious... but how do you upload the data virus to the cloud?
I've found the scanners but it's shows a destination outside the contaminated area and when you leave it disappears.

From the side mission?

On the top of the building, cross it and go into the other door up there.

Are you supposed to stealth attack in this?
I'm on the hospital mission and it says pick them off...but how do you get close to them....

You can go under cover out of range and then move cover to cover by holding A when you're highlighting another piece of cover and that will let you sneak up pretty close to them then I'd assume you need to shoot them with a suppressor on maybe?

Man, the game looks so bad in comparison to their trailers. Most of the animations have bad transitions, definitely unrealistic animation skipping.
PVE is also feels so bad when everyone just seem like meat shields.
The feeling I get is that I'm just playing an average shooter that has nothing special about it. The look and fun pales in comparison to the Uncharted beta.

...but if you look at the DF video, XBONE is flat out missing some lighting effects vs PS4. First example is lighting from the flare exiting the chopper. This is a PC title for me.

I didn't think about that, but I hope that is the case as well, anyway it's a beta, they can fix the aiming, and as someone says, I don't think it's because it's at 30fps, destiny is algo at 30fps and it feels way better.
The cover system is similar to gears of war IMO, but It doesn't totally convince me, I'll try to get better weapon if there are any in the beta.
