What does it mean when you "roll" something in a game like this? I heard it in chat and was like... "Wha?"

Also, what's the best approach?

A) Play sp until level 8, then jump to DZ and never look back. Only surfacing for air every now and then to use your new toys in sp. (The problem here is that you might not even finish the sp game, which is half of the experience)

B)Play sp until endgame to acquire all you need for DZ? (The problem here being that you may burn out on sp and join mp when everyone is more seasoned while you're just a poor novice)

I'll probably go with option B. I think you have to complete the story to unlock all the perks, and some of them seems pretty powerful so thats probably what I'll do before I really dive into the DZ stuff.

Finlanddivision represent :D I ordered the US version in hopes of downloading it early. Will probably lose that attempt.

I haven't - it's legit fucking good! In my top 5 GotY list for 2015.

World design better than the Division too - though graphically it's not quite as good.

Tried it yet?

Downloading MGSV... that should keep me going thru the week. This should be interesting since I have not played any of the series? I'm totally going in blind.

Sorry, didn't see this - yes, MGSV could tide you over for months if you needed it! A lot of the story will go over your head, but a lot of it won't either. The ending should still be pretty effective, even if you haven't played the other games (also PS the ending is way, way after the credits roll...)

Uh oh. If you had completionism OCD I wouldn't have recommended it so highly. I'm very chill about that stuff and happily skip 80% of the collectibles in any game, and AC Syndicate is perfect for me because the actual meaty gameplay content is really well designed.

I recommend drop the story and do the ambient London Conquest missions for a while. They're the real meat of the game and are phenomenal. Like the Templar Hunts, Bounty Hunts, Child Liberations, Robberies, etc. Also spend some time getting to know the Thames - it's one of the best locations I've seen in any open world game, ever.

Also make sure to start Ned Wynert's quest line. He opens up some of the best side content - cargo robberies, escorts and boat robberies. All are gold and lead to really dynamic street chases.

I am assuming I can still order the ps4 gold edition in store at Best Buy for day one? Really want to take advantage of that GCU and I am trading in Black ops 3 so that should also help :) if not I might have to go xb1 version or go digital on ps4...

It is sold out outline. Same for Xbox. Pretty sure the same thing goes for in store unless you're in a bigger city. My local Best Buy wouldn't let me preorder in store.

Problem for me with these games is that i HAVE to systematically finish a part of the map before i continue.
Don't ask me why buy its usually why i avoid games like this.

However ill probably figure it out :S Started Neds quest before i stopped last night, so theres that.



Now to install a laptop that i just got so i can spam this board more efficiently while at work.
