    RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS

    in Computer and Console

    didn't bother to read the link, does it mean people can play it online for free? I think there should be measures on the game's servers preventing that from happening regardless, so downloading a pirated version would be useless, unless you wanted to play solo without being able to save player progression

    tried For Honor, and what can I say... it's unplayable on mouse+keyboard. to be honest, even Mount & Blade has better combat.

     

    the biggest issue is, of course, the stupid stance system. most of the time the game doesn't detect my mouse movements, so my character doesn't change stances accordingly. this means that I cannot block or parry 66% of all incoming attacks I actually see coming, and cannot damage the enemy 33% of the time I actually manage to find a weakness in his defenses. 

     

    played the game for two hours, mostly duels with AI. only won 1 round (each match consisted of 3 rounds), so, all matches lost - most matches would end in under 1 minute. AI hits so hard, that one combo is enough to finish my character off. 

     

    there's also the problem of the AI being too good. between the moment they telegraph their attack and the attack connecting only a fraction of a second passes. I am not supehumanly quick, so reacting to them is for me impossible. also, the AI recovers from successful parries A LOT faster than my character is able to attack on a follow-up. 

     

    I find myself in situations where I can't attack, defend, damage or kill any opponents. to say that it's frustrating is to say nothing.

     

    definitely not spending any money on it. maybe next year, after a dozen of balance patches they'll have a free weekend and I'll give it another shot.

     

    here's one of the fights:

    it may appear that I am not doing anything with my controls. in actuality I am doing a lot, the game just doesn't respond most of the time.

     

    am I the only one with these issues?

    so, found a voucher from Ubisoft for 30% off on their whole catalogue in my inbox this morning, but for some reason the voucher isn't being recognized by Uplay. anyone else tried using it?

    Well, decided to gamble $30 on playing Division with my friends being fun, doubt that will hold as one has played 20 hours in the last 3 days or something and so is ahead of us. But it does soothe my itch to shoot people with a SCAR.

    just make him start another character, that's what I did :lol: I played to level 15 with 2 friends, then another friend decided to join us, so I started another char and got that one to level 17, so the 4 of us could play through the story missions together. now another friend wants to join us, so I've created a third character... yes, the game is just that fun  :dancing:

     

    and when none of my friends are online, I go into the Dark Zone to shoot stuff without having to worry about leveling up. actually, I spent 6 hours today running in the Dark Zone, that place is just one huge firefight. enemies spawn on every corner constantly - I would often find myself attacked by three different groups from three sides. the fun thing is: these groups fight each other as well, so sometimes you get very intense 4-way street battles. I feel like I'm in that famous scene from Heat  :wowey:

    you mean no bullet spongy enemies, and dying to single well placed shots? I am really into tactical shooter like Rogue Spear and Ghost Recon, but this particular game - the way it was designed - wouldn't work that way, unfortunately

    the 2 major DLCs added end-game raids. one of them restricted to 30 level players: with randomized dungeons, mutators and hunting bounties; and another - DayZ inspired hardcore survival mode - is available to all players from the start (has both PvP and PvE modes). the 3rd DLC is coming in March, and I have high expectations for it.
