GameZone's Mike Splechta: "Out of the three cities I drove through so far, Detroit to me is by far the least interesting. That's not to say it's small by any means. Comparably, it's just slightly smaller than New York but bigger than Miami. Since Detroit is the Closed Beta's story hub, you'll notice that I get a call from the story NPC, telling me which event I should be hitting up next, but I was having way too much fun simply driving around. Secondly, you'll also notice the mini-challenges that can be accessed while driving. Two of the ones I encountered in Detroit tasked me with driving through gates successively and as fast as I can, and the other required me to slalom, though that one I chose to ignore."

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
The series' next iteration is coming this year.
Now that we have great availability for GeForce GTX GPUs across retailers and at prices gamers can afford, there’s never been a better time to become a GeForce Gamer and ‘Join the Crew’.
Detroit!
One thing that chaps my ass in these types of open world games is that cities don't look alive. I see like one or two pedestrians at any one time.
Not asking for the roads to be flooded with them but atleast make it seem like each person has a task to do like what they did in Watch Dogs.
Nice! Its the city and suburbs
So excited this game is coming to PC. There really arent a lot of good games of this genre on PC. I really hope this trend continues of spreading the next gen games around.
Looks like watch dogs, lifeless...
Also, dude playing sucks, missed every checkpoint, think he can only go straight.
