God I hope no one pays for this. The new DR looks quite good but this nonsense of reselling the same crap over and over is hurting the creativity of the industry. Why make something new and "dangerous" if you can sell what was successful already all over again?

Why would that be something you'd want? Why is it better for you if MS don't make consoles any more?

I think what you're failing to realise there is that most people who are "complaining" stopped playing when people with overlevelled gear was a problem. Sure, stuff might be getting better but now we're even further behind with no inclination to grind an incursion (10x per day?! GET A JOB SIR!) to just meet up with people in the DZ. Why go in, get smashed over and over, all so you can break even with those guys already there? There's no ups...

I think the problem isn't the "get better" - it's that people have 'sploited their way to gear that other people haven't. There's no balance to it. I was in with a gear score of around 170 a few weeks back with a friend and even with two people shooting at a dude who was just seemingly there to grief, he had no problem walking through the bullets to take us both out. There's no fun or challenge in that.

A service like LIVE wouldn't exist without that money behind it in the beginning.

I think it's relevant when you read the article. It backs up that statement with:

"[...] it wasn’t the Xbox 360’s more powerful hardware spec** that ultimately made it the giant it became in game culture, and thus popular culture, but the online community it popularized via Microsoft’s Xbox Live service."

It's hard to hard to argue that Xbox Live didn't dramatically alter the landscape. It had a pretty profound effect on the way we p...

Why the hell do people even "like" corporations?? It's mind boggling. These companies don't give a shit about some dude sitting in a room cramming 3 hours of Dark Souls in. They care about a bottom line. All these people acting as if their best friend just won a fight are fucking imbeciles.

They are just companies. They sell shit. We buy it. Competition means we get better shit to choose from. I love my Xbox but I would HATE to see PS4 fail because MS woul...

You don't think N4G is a bit predisposed to PS fanboys? I don't geddit... why does the Xbox have to be "bad" before you feel validated about your purchase of a PS. It doesn't make any sense.

Ahahahahaha you fanboys are THE WORST.

I think the problem here is that the hottest articles for days have been swarmed by the topic-of-the-moment Division Bashing.

This seems like a cash in, trying to reach for the views.

Why not try an insightful take on something no one else is doing? This site sure could use some positivity once in a while.

Whaaaat? Stop spreading panic? BUT TEH VIEWS!

How many articles have popped up to the top on here in the last few days all with the same rhetoric? It's all about dem views, people!

Yeah, this is something I would agree with. PvP would be (arguably IS) wrecked by people farming for the high end stuff.

I do genuinely think they need to have a better way of handling it, but it's a complicated problem - not just from the point of view of fixing the geometry, but what to do about people already at the high end who've got it all.

For me, the reason I don't see this as game breaking is two-fold.
One, I can see why it&...

"Glitches, bugs, balancing issues."

I've played the dailies and some challenges pretty consistently for a few weeks now with a group of 3 other people. Can you let me know what you're seeing that I don't?

3344d ago 0 agree2 disagreeView comment

OK, so explain to me how exploits make the game unplayable for someone doing the normal daily missions etc.

I could understand your frustration if the game was falling over every time you touched the controller but it doesn't. It's such a well polished game for the scope of it that I genuinely don't understand the cries of "game is broken, Ubisoft sucks".

The fact that people are farming and ending up in the DZ with high end gear suc...

Did any of you actually read the article?

"Is The Division truly broken?" - then the article proceeds to state that the user used a third-party utility to hack the game and claim unlimited rewards. Read before you comment; you might not sound stupid once in a while.

Why is the assumption here that devs are "lazy"? That really confuses me. Have you any concept of what goes into a dev cycle on a massive (pun intended) project like this? The plan is prepared weeks and even months in advance, where squeezing in bug fixes are prioritised. I'm curious what's involved, but clearly they haven't been able to just "fix" the wall glitch across the board and are instead having to update collision detection in each area where it's ...

The game is definitely better with a challenge. It's too easy to fall into a pattern of doing the "easy stuff" just to grind - you miss out on all the excellent gameplay that made the main game / campaign interesting. Once you reach the endgame, you have to go out of your way a bit to get the game to be challenging; but when you do it shines.

I've yet to have any trouble with overpowered people in the DZ (though I can see how it would happen)... even then,...
