Sandweed posted:Care full goonbro remember what happened when you got exited for Battlefront? Yeah, I do. It was a bit buggy but fun to play with goons for 4 months, then it was less buggy and more fun for another 16 months and then  ruined it by changing all weapon stats and ruining several things because they decided it was time for a complete overhaul after 2 years after release. Before I quit I had 400 hours playtime of it IIRC.Plus largely to blame for the loving up of the SRAW  and other weapons were the community carebears who cried that this weapon they never bothered to learn was OP and poo poo. This probably won't happen to the same extent as this game has no vehicles. So I'll take a chance at another few months of growing pains, then a decent game and then a switch to something else in 2 years.Also this game is less twitchy in nature and mostly PvE, so me and my blood pressure will be OK.

Cool. I'll go digital for PS4 then. I have a feeling the boxed copy would be one of those infuriating "3 gig installed now lets download the other thirty anyway" things.

Lars Blitzer posted:So far so good. Like I said, the basic conceit is that the book belongs to April Kelleher, a woman who got the guide as a gag gift, sort of like how "Zombie Survival Guides" became a thing not too long ago, which were rebranded Y2K/Prepper guides with a quick cut-and-paste. She's been using it as a diary of sorts, along with her notes about the author and the guide itself, which has a bunch of codes which indicate the author knew something about the Dollar Bug, or that SOMETHING was about to go down. "She" does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to cracking the codes though. It's handy to have some scratch paper and a pencil while you read it to take some notes yourself. These are all spoilers, but nothing you wouldn't find out within the first few pages anyway. Is it worth your time and money? I'll have to break it down. ok cool. i will have to pick it up sometime

evil_bunnY posted:He said battlefront not battlefield Ups, I didn't even read that. My brain assumed he ment Battlefield4 because we played that together. Still the point about the Division being non-twitchy and having PvE still applies, which means so does the point about my blood pressure, hehe. As for Battlefront, yeah that game has potential but it tanked and is most likely beyond saving. Which I hate. The main problem with Battlefront from a game concept perspective is it is all pretty but lacks any story and single player content. Add the lovely programming of really important features for a pure MP game like the obnoxious and broken party system on PC, and the lack of any basic numerical balancing and you have a dying game on your hands. Luckily the DZ needs no numerical balancing as it is not a 2 team war. It does not matter whether there are 10 or 20 people in a DZ. The party system in The Division works fine from what we have seen and you only need 4 people to coordinate and play coop with. That seems very doable and the betas have both been fun. And even if the gameplay starts being repetitive after a while, there is loads more of a game world to discover in this game than in Battlefronts 16 maps. Plus don't forget the scarfs. Seriously, the loot hoarding is a huge part to keep player motivation up if it is done reasonably well.

Just went to check my amazon order. I'm an idiot. I ordered a physical copy since the PC download didn't have the Prime discount. Whatevs.. Ordered the book while I was there, will get them both on the 8th at the latest (Even though it says shipping tomorrow with 2-day shipping).

Sultan Tarquin posted:I wonder if that means we'll get our GMG keys today? GMG has a bad habit of either not getting or not releasing their keys until either launch or a few hours beforehand for preloading. Occasionally they pop them out early but I've bought several keys from them and it's rare I have my key before other people are playing.

Eh, I'm sure GMG will come through in a decent amount of time. I still wonder if their keys are going to come with the Hazmat pre-order set or not regardless of them not mentioning it on the page. I also wonder whether or not the Sawed-Off Shotgun from the season pass is something that will legit never drop/appear in shops for you if you don't have it or if it's just some starter kit thing and it still drops later in the game normally even if you don't have the pass.

Ha yeah let me rephrase, I really liked how diablo did it where you could trade with your party members within an hour of pick up. I personally think that the auction house and to a less degree trading ruined diablo's economy. People just played auction house hunter or started just farming gold by destroying pots over and over again to buy their equipment instead of actually playing the game but i guess more power to them? but anyway doesnt matter haha if it happens it happens. I just want my pretty princess to be the most unique of them all with my legendary scarf of +10 fashion Tenzarin posted:Because, that's how destiny does it! We both know we both love that destiny.

I have a idea about how to continue the story of the game and give it momentum. https://www.edf.org/blog/2016/02/11/human-emissions-just-cancelled-next-ice-age-heres-why-we-should-care Humans actions have cancelled a Ice Age. *puts on american right wing hat* But what if not? What if humanity *has not* cancelled a Ice Age? that the actions of humanity are not enough to affect the climate in the whole planet enough for that? Then russian would soon be a huge ice cape. So will be canada, and parts of usa. What if... the russians decide to emigrate to usa. That the virus is Stage 0 of a plan to send the whole population of Russia to live in the america continent. To do so, they first need to weak the original american population, destroy the governement, then act. So New York summer become a cold winter, where if you are outside at night you will froze and die (not if or buts, but die in 20 seconds). So people decide to live underground, in the tunnels. Then you have crazy russians, the original population, everyone fighting in the tunnels, with the surface being a deadly enviroment if you can't manage to find the next settler in time before the next snow storm, or the night.

Does GMG issue refunds on none released preorders? I think I want to cancel and just get it through uplay so I know I can get it preloaded before I have to go out of town and probably can't download 30 gigs of poo poo on a hotel internet.
