Mike@HD8bit- "Well folks, we finally made it. After three years of waiting we will finally have Tom Clancy’s: The Division in our hands. So once again, we will line up at our local video-game store and wait for the clock to strike twelve. To pass the time we will meet other gamers and talk about the games we’ve been playing as well as the one we are there to get. We will become friends with these people for a short time, however-at midnight that friendship comes to an abrupt end as everyone rushes to get their copy of the game and get out of the parking lot as quickly as possible. We will likely run into these same people at the next launch, but that thought doesn’t come to mind until we’re at home sitting on our couch wondering “how they took it” when we honked at them on the way out of the parking lot… So, Game On! Let the madness begin!!"

TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
3 year damn! I feel like it was not to long ago the first time we saw this title for the first time. It's still a big shame to me that the devs chickened out from survival elements they once talked about. That would have been better than just looking for loot in the DZ, which is why I'm still not totally sold in this game. Imo it needs more objectives than that.
I'll look forward to what the people have to say about it before purchasing.
