Amazing.
With a little Deus Ex mixed in. Loving the music. Wish there were more opportunities to experience it.

Allrighty, after open and closed beta I'm really excited for it. I just hope they pull off a nice story, too. With the Division not being the "good guys" per se etc. because in such a scenario there's hardy a "good guy". There's just opinions.
I just like myself some grey characters
Shit.
Why did nobody tell me this was amazing.
It feels like a culmination of Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and GRAW - best bits of each from the last 10 years - mixed in with some other nice new aspects. Bloody brilliant.
For me, there's seriously almost as much content in this beta alone as there was in the entirety of Destiny. I love just running about doing random side shit. In Destiny that stuff was tedious after 30 mins. In this i literally played for 4 hours straight doing only that - and it felt like 10 mins. And that's only a fraction of what will be in the full game (if the map's anything to go by).
Now the question is whether to buy on PS4 or PC... PC is probably a wiser choice but something about it rings of console game to me.

I love that in the PvE world, there is no background music while exploring really.
But in the DZ, there is this constant, very faint but tense beat in the background.

Maybe with enough damage one shot could do it?
Omg.
Will they fight each other dynamically?
I presume so, because Division guys already do.
OMG.
That was the vibe I got!
Now i just need armies of random civilians to arm and sprint about with.
You can disable the hud. Set hud to auto hide and the one that's always next to your character disappears and can be brought up by pressing square. Way better.
What is it?

So you can automatically jump over obstacles while running.
That sounds good. I'd be surprised if it's not on comsole too.

So is there supposed to be more to do in the Dark Zone in the main game? Finding chests, killing rogue agents, and finding extraction points seems like it will get old pretty quick.

I know it's not to everyone's liking but one of the many things I like about the game is the change of pace, I actually enjoy relaxing a bit and wondering around

There isn't an option, but it's there by default.
you sure?...it wasn't there by default with the closed beta right?

I find it annoying when turned on actually. Found myself constantly accidently jumping over cover when I just wanted to take cover, accidently vaulting over railings etc etc
Im sure you have to get used to it being on..but in my experience, it annoyed the hell out of me
Its on by default in the sense that if you hold the jump key or whatever while sprinting it auto-vaults

Have you fought some of the hidden elites?
ok, but that's not the same as auto jumping/climbing when sprinting...

I agree, it gets old quick amd I hope they have some sort of plan for this game that doesnt include trying to milk players for all their money. You also forgot to mention that the normal-ass dudes don't die when you shoot them 1000 times in the face.
I love parts of the game but am definitely not feeling a lot of it
where are they located?...I saw a few Cleaners in the Subway, is that one of the hidden ones?
In the contaminated zone top of the map by the extraction zone (parking garage) there is a chance to find "boss" spawn
Freaked me the fk out the first time, as it was in a snowstorm as well and all i could see was gigantic flames coming at me
I found that feature quite annoying when perma on, as it vault everything and everyone, even if its a thing above you that you can run under.

I really wish you could swap the cover and vault buttons

Can't confirm these still are at this spot...but probably.
EDIT:
Realized he's missing an elite cleaner boss in the top left of the DZ map in an abandoned checkpoint.
that does happen to me in 1 particular spot on the map where there's an open fence with NPC enemies on the other side...it always climbs over the top versus going through the front door...but it only happens in that 1 spot so for my style of play I prefer it enabled...especially when I want to vault over the tons of abandoned cars on the streets
Holy shit. Game changer.

Played it for a few more hours and had to turn off the HUD. Ubisoft always spend years creating these incredibly detailed immersive open worlds & then slap an overbearing HUD on top of everything, it's as if they don't trust the player to play the game correctly.
Obviously it's personal preference, but I feel like this game could have been a lot better if they took a bare bones approach & dropped all the hand holding & dictating done by the HUD. Give it more of a DayZ feel exploring the dark zone when all the loot & potential threatening players aren't already highlighted in advance.

Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Yea that mode is definitely not on, at least not for me.
Playing on Xbox One, have to hit B to get over any obstacle when sprinting, no matter the size.

Guys, don't forget to check doors into buildings. There are hidden places that lead into apartments rooms where you can find loot. One is between 23/24 street and 8/9 ave.
What am i even reading!?
Heresy at its finest!

I ran into 2 of those bosses in the video but never encountered Clutch...she looks pretty difficult...will have to go to that area next time I jump into the beta

After playing the second mission and revisiting the dark zone I decided to hold off. Depending on reviews I'll pick it up for 20 in the future, maybe.
I fear this turns out as another Destiny kind of situation.

Should have gone the TLOU route with clickers, infected, zombies, bloaters etc..

So true. Seeing a rouge death squad rolling your way and ducking behind a mailbox and turning the corner just as they run by is intense. Feels almost as good as taking one out, almost
Aw... should have seen that one coming. Like a lamb to the slaughter...
This is why I turn all the HUD elements off.
