I'm not sure my mortal mind can handle a high-end M1A
~850 for me, I think. Tho "disappointed" is tad too strong word imo. If I didn't like it I wouldn't have played so much.

Basic Google Sheets question, but is there a way to add this to my list of spreadsheets other than copying it? I'd like to be able to jump to it later and see any changes the author has made. (I know, I could just bookmark it)

Definitely getting that book... I wonder if I should order it now, just in case.
I read that as there will be endgame level encounters in the game, but not necessarily anything new or radically different from the missions we do in the run up to the level cap. We know raids will be coming in at some point, which will presumably make up the PVE endgame proper, but I feel like
will amount to little more than finding audio logs and hunting down crashed drones.
Splitting time between Raids and the DZ could get old quick.
I'm still probably getting this game despite my bellyaching. Few friends from college played with me during the beta and we had a blast, so I'll be right there with everyone else.
As someone playing on a pad, which was would you lean? Destiny didn't bother me being 30fps but that was super optimised. Might wait and see the performance results after release.
Ty, that's what I was thinking of.

I wonder how much of a performance increase we are talking here ? 60fps ? I wonder how many PS4 players would sacrifice on graphics to play at that frame rate ?
Ive been playing on PC with a i7/970 combo and its beautiful at 60fps...personally if I were playing on PS4 I would do whatever it takes to play at 60

Well..... 1500.
This is the story of Destiny players ahaha
I really enjoyed my time with it despite all its pitfalls

Man some games wish they had players playing that much. Destiny is far from a failure but it's just okay after the buzz wears off and you see the sores. Crack is additive doesn't mean it's good for you.

I think The Division runs pretty well on the PS4. If you prefer pads then I think you should just go for the PS4 version. But it depends on how much you value all the graphical options a PC can offer you.
We don't know, but I don't think 60fps is attainable with everything The Division is doing. I see it as a stable framerate option more than anything. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Isn't this exactly what people are worried about though? I don't think anyone would be upset if a game can keep them engaged for a year. I believe most of the concern revolves around blowing through content within a week or two and not having anything meaningful left to do. Carrot on a stick grind is only good if the carrot is worthwhile.

You can spend a lot of time in an addictive game and still find whole aspects of it that were completely deflating disappointments.
My disappointment mostly stems from the fact that it could have been a lot more. The problem with Destiny was the vision, or lack thereof. That's why I give The Division the upper hand at a similar point in its life: it feels far more cohesive.

I hope it doesn't have raids like destiny those were complete shit, and after doing them once I noped out of that crap. I anything random scenarios or missions varying in difficulty would be ideal. I just hope complainers don't turn this game into another Destiny since Bungie can choke on that crap sandwich
I'm not worried about it at all. I don't expect or even necessarily want a game that goes on for hundreds of hours. Honestly if I played the game for 20 - 30 hours and got my fill from it I'd be happy. Doesn't mean I won't spend a lot of time playing The Division either but just that I'm not too worried about quality gameplay time for my money. That's personal to the player though I guess.

Couldn't have said it better. I love destiny in spurts when the DLC releases but I hate the grind and don't stick aground after I complete the new raids a few times etc. It also doesn't help I find the PvP horrible.
The Division really seems like it could be more up my alley if we get more, less-repetitive stuff to do after you reach max level.

That's one thing Massive has going for them. They can look at Destiny and know what not to do. Hopefully they learn from Bungie's missteps and deliver.

Not me I don't play games that are ultimately addictive unless they are good. I don't play Diablo 3 for that reason and i freaky love Diablo.
Destiny look uninspired after I saw the direction they were going in with sticking with sci-fi so heavily and not going more fantasy knight-ish like in the old concept art.

Personally, I think their implementation was more the problem than their vision. They just handled things in a very poor fashion imho.
The fact that a studio that's been around as long and as experienced as Bungie even made these missteps is what concerns me. I'm hoping The Division has enough people with RPG backgrounds/experience to know what kind of crowd they're trying to cater to.

I think Activision is mostly to blame for a lot of what went wrong with Destiny. It seemed like the game was scrapped and reassembled late in development. Hopefully Massive is in better hands.
Yep. I couldn't care less about all this marketing and hype crap. Just gimme the beta + whatever and I'll give you $60.

Is this the "your opinion is invalid because you failed to play for several hours" counter?
If I could use M/KB on the PS4 I would

Quite the opposite, actually. There's a large contingent of Destiny players who complain the game doesn't have enough content to keep them satisfied, yet put 100+ hours into a game, without a monthly fee.
I've talked about this before, but it's humorous when we have a game like FO4 give you ~80 hours of content and we're happy, but a game Like Destiny can give you an extensive game where one could put easily 100+ hours and yet people complain.
What people really want to say is they want content that is actually fun. People moaned about Destiny for months and months, yet we have people dropping hundreds of hours into it. It's hard for a dev to recognize shortfalls when the player base is still emphatically hooked on your game.
I guarantee 95% of devs out there WISH their game could keep players hooked as much as Destiny does; and yet, you read a Destiny forum and it sounds like Destiny is forcing these people into labor camps to free their souls.

I partly agree but there are things to gut Destiny for. But this last line is fire jesus. lol
WonkyPanda

Oh, yeah. Totally agree. I actually think there's quite a bit of content in Destiny (Sorely, missing crafting in my opinion [ty Massive]). It's more of an issue as to how the treadmill is designed that is off-putting.
Speaking of that do we know how crafting will work in Division?

I haven't seen anything. I'm really curious to see how complex it is, though.

One of them being, that even with most of the DLC. You don't get much else at all when it comes to mission setting and variety. All these planets and you are still going to the same areas, especially on earth. I mean they're improving the game but they are improving things that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. But are also not given the players enemy types and the like to explore more things. So much concept art wasted or "saved" for DLC and or for the next game. Without much meat otherwise overall. It has a treadmill but it's one that gets the gamer hooked and then leaves them sucked dry, wanting more. But not in the best way.

Wow that Q&A was a mess of answering shit people already knew and doing a bunch of non-answers
Yeah this was a major problem for a lot of people I played the beta with, if that was legit just all there is to do in the DZ its something most of them would get bored of within a couple days and they knew it. It's also something that worries me. For a game releasing a year+ past its initial date shortcomings like this should've been recognized and fixed.

Again if you expected, anything from a PR AMA held by IGN. With their track I record then I don't know what to say. I called this a mile away more then a few pages ago, but still I saw people getting hyped...poor sods.
If this AMA was held doing the closed beta then, i would have expected more but it's seven days away. Their not going to give away much of anything or they don't have much and it was already presented before.
But after dodging/being vague about the Brooklyn question so much and then someone finding it in the Beta files. I'm leaning towards them wanting to really stick to trying to surprise use. Despite how gamers want everything now but rather or not this works out is pretty risky to bank on in this era.
I mean in one of the developers interviews one of them said they want to surprise us. Massive likes doing that it seems. Not their first time.

But at least we are discussing about Destiny The Division now.
I got it from just playing the Beta. But tbh I don't think it's really special. And if you really care about looking like a R6 operator, then why didn't you just buy R6?

I hate this line of thinking. In fact, I believe this is why Destiny got the reception that it did.
Raven Prime

Yeah, you are not the first to complain about that today.
I was more surprised that there's that much demand for it. I got the Gold Edition of Siege months after it released for $35.
