Played the beta. The coop was great fun. The single player side was dismal. This suffers a bit from the generic open worldy icon on map spam thing. The friendly AI was incredibly bad also from the amount I played. But like I said the coop side was fun..a lot of fun.

Probably not a buy from me though as I'm middle aged working hard same as me mates online and getting us all together to play this regularly would be difficult

Thinking of giving this a spin on my PS4 Pro. I don't really enjoy these types of games, and in true Ubisoft fashion it looks downgraded in regards to what they've shown before. But I do enjoy free try-outs. :)

Oh look, Division in a jungle. No, thanks. Been burned too many times.
Also, another game to send Ubi servers into death spiral. That means - no more R6 Siege for another few days. An actually good game will be unplayable again.

Thanks for the info, I would missed it. Those betas are saving me lots of money lately but I hope this time the game will be worth getting coz it looks fun.

Sadly I have to agree with you. The Division looked amazing when it was showcased. But during the open beta it became clear it was just another mindless multiplayer shooter with no real plot. I fear Wildlands will be just the same.

I'd also broadly agree but at least Wildlands doesn't have the ridiculous bullet sponge enemies that Division has.

It true, in Division you had to shoot guy in a hoodie 10 times in the head from AK to kill him. Enemies like that works in sifi or fantasy universe where you can have "shields and magic" but in a shooter game in modern times with "serious" story - it does not work.
Luckily Wildlands NPC`s drops dead most like they would in rl.
Also game runs pretty good and has decent amount of options to mess up with. I also like the map (looks like its REALLY huge).
But why forced 3d person, in a "tactical" shooter lol, just why?

It's basically everything I expected it to be. Lots of testosterone, really bad plot so far, pew pew with no cover (this was a susprise), and really, really bad facial animations.
Graphics are somewhat good but on PS4 there's heavy aliasing and artifacts due to an over sharpening filter. This leads foliage to look extremely aliased and messy. Textures are OK but not great.
The HDR eye adaptation is great though!
Edit: Forgot to mention, lighting is spectacular in this game.

So far a mediocre experience, quite like I expected. :p

Didnt even manage to get in to the game on my PC last night!! Constant 1000B errors and when it did launch it crashed during the first Helicopter Intro bit with Ms Bowman!!

Nothing in it for me. Same old pew pew gameplay we've seen for the last 15 years. But I really liked the lighting in the game! :)
