This game is really bad.
Yes, I own an Xbone, and yes I pre-ordered it to get into the beta.
>>319619781
Alright fellow xbot, gimmie all the gritty details, what's the good, the bad, and the Ubisoft-tier shitty?
>>319619781
Care to share details?
>pre-ordered a game that was confirmed downgraded months ago
>pre-ordering ubishit products
but why?
>>319620289
>months ago
>more like years
What a coincidence op, I just started it up for the 2nd time today because I wanted to try it out more
Also being able to disable chromatic aberration is great
>>319620189
>huge downgrade
>shit AI
>messy UI
>already bored with the missions after an hour and a half (they're all traditional "kill [x] bad guys" MMO bullshit, only they last forever and are way more tedious)
>>319620289
/v/ has shit taste and insists on buying garbage year after year.
>>319620807
any item crafting, urban exploration, or anything?
>>319620807
>>319621034
I second this with character customization.
>>319619781
What the hell do you even do in this game? All I know something about black Friday and some infection.
>>319621323
It looked like an open world online rpg but it seems they instead made a big piece of repetitive shit.
>>319620645
>this is what the game looks like on xbox one
no fucking wonder chromatic aberration is on by default
>>319619781
Anyone have this on PC? Is it typical Ubishit downgrade-so-consoles-don't-get-jealous,-can't-hit-60fps-on-two-980s-SLI?
>>319621034
There's a disabled crafting bench, not in the alpha build
You have gear/armor that changes appearance and also general clothing items
>>319621323
Seems like some bad shit went down in new york, you're flown in to help restore bases in each sector and try to reclaim the city from criminals, thats my loose idea of whats going on
>>319620645
What the fuck. I expected a downgrade, but jesus Christ.
yay, more console port garbage
>>319621643
how's the weapons and armor variety?
is it stupid shit like:
>light armor 1, 2, 3
>medium armor 1, 2, 3
>heavy
Or is it actually in depth?
And weapons?
Is it different types or just:
>Submachine gun
>Rifle
>Shotgun
>Sniper
>>319621471
That's what my impression is. From all the stuff they showed, it's all pretty much walking around and shooting. They never actually clarify what the overall game is suppose to be.
>>319621643
So you just keep killing the criminals?
>>319621034
Yes
There is crafting, but it's not in the alpha (there's a crafting station but it says not available in alpha)
There is a bunch of little loot chests all over the map for exploration.
There's a character creator and you and get different pants/hats/coats/shirts/shoes, etc.
I enjoyed the alpha even though it doesnt have much content. Dark Zones are really fun. It's actually quite a bit more of an RPG than I expected.
So is this game like an even worse version of GTA:O?
I forget, does this game have co-op?
>>319620645
>>319621643
Any gameplay video?
>>319621643
Also the game can actually ramp up in difficulty at times which is refreshing
Also heath only regens up to a certain point so you can't run around like a retard
I went in expecting the worst but the game may not be too shabby depending on how much content they say it has and how badly they wanna fuck their customers with DLC
Could be really cool
>>319621859
From what I can tell in the alpha yes
You can roam the streets and kill thugs or you can do missions of rescuing, researching things or killing/defending
>>319621850
picture of that next
>>319622021
This, any streams up?
>>319622027
if the gameplay lacks depth they fucking better add over 150 different types of clothing to at least keep me somewhat interested.
Game looks like a muddy mess during the day but pretty decent at night and in the Dark Zones.
>some fucker keeps blowing his nose in my ear while I sit here doing shit for you fags
Goddamn
>>319621850
So they have different models or colors
They have armor rating, and then usually impact one or multiple of the 3 main attributes, firearms, which increases damage, stamina, which increases health, or electronics, which increases your abilities damage
They also have random bonus perks like increased damage, etc.
>>319622248
From what small variety there is its solid and while enemies either move forward and shoot, rush with melee weapons, or sit back and hose you, it's pretty fun. the shitty graphics and awful framerate doesn't help though, I really wish I was playing this on pc
Can you sculpt your own face in Character Creator? or do you just pick from presets?
How about body types? Can I make thick waifus?
>>319622413
Why are you near strangers blowing their noses?
As for weapons you can carry 3
A primary and secondary, which can be rifles, shotguns, etc
And a sidearm pistol, which has infinite ammo and different variations as well
Not a crazy amount of selection but not complete shit either
>>319622431
Only options were male or female and a set of like 5 different stock characters, alpha had most of character creation disabled
>>319622431
Alpha is randomized, in the full game you'll be able to make your own.
>>319622413
>>319622639
>>319622413
goddamn this UI looks like they just ripped the fuck off of Dying light, so do the character models and clothing
character screen
>>319622639
Shit. I hope they let us sculpt at release.
I want to look unique
>>319622639
>REAL gun names
that's refreshing.
after all the fake guns in the recent games i welcome these real guns back into my life
TELL ME.
HOW MANY SMG'S ARE THERE?
I think I'm gonna be sick. When was this game announced, 2012? Why does it look worse than Watchdogs?
>>319623145
Da powah of the xbone.
>>319623145
Because this is the xbox one, tard. There's no room for hardware upgrades so developers have to milk every last fucking fps out of these potatoes
>>319619781
Uhh, how is it bad? Don't be an autistic neckbeard and hate on shit that you've most likely not played.
>>319623275
Read the thread turbo nerd.
Ubishills here yet?
>>319623084
No clue
Also, have some more stats out the ass
>>319623228
For real
I don't know what sony or ms were thinking
Yea my 970memecosts nearly as much as a console but damn xbox and ps4 mostly look like shit, even Halo 5 had to sacrifice so much to hit 60 fps
Recording a gross webm for you guys, brace yourselves, gimmie a few mins
>>319623524
The entire point of consoles is that they draw people in with the cheap base price and exclusive games. They pander to dudebros in college and casuals these days. They'd rather bump the cost down to make them more available than make their consoles actually powerful.
>Instead of unique abilities everything is just a boring stat% modifier
Fuck me man, this trend is getting worse overtime, or maybe I'm just noticing it now.
>>319620289
The guy has an xbox. Why would you even need to ask him these things?
>>319624017
Webm is rendering
Here's the abilities tab
>>319624017
It's what happens when every dev feels the need (or is forced) to shove in RPG mechanics, they just half-ass it.
Ubisoft is the king of maximalist design. Shove in as much shit as possible and steal ideas from as many popular games as possible, fuck quality, fuck cohesion.
Here's the game in motion - my elgato can capture 60 fps so I assure you any low framerate is definitely the game, not the capture source
>>319624824
>no camera shaking or head bobbing
Ok good, at least I won't get motion sickness.
Also I feel like I gotta mention
Recoil is very big in this game, you cannot spam any rifles or heavy caliber pistols, you will simply miss almost all of your shots.
>>319624824
So, what do you actually do in this? All the gameplay videos I've seen were just 4 people wandering around a city and then shooting some people.
Is it open world? Level based?
>>319625293
I just wanna get this for the open world PvP. I wanna kill people and steal their shit. Did you get to try that?
>>319625548
>>319622027
and
Seems like some bad shit went down in new york, you're flown in to help restore bases in each sector and try to reclaim the city from criminals, thats my loose idea of whats going on. So each sector has a base that needs to be restored with shit you can loot or get as rewards
Basically you're cleaning up new york after a big accident and crime lords took over
>>319624824
fucking disgusting
I'll maybe make a nice 10 or so minute vid of me doing random shit and possibly pvp tomorrow, look for me to post a youtube vid in one of the threads about it tomorrow
It'll be in 1080p HD!
I haven't been following this game much so
Is it going to have an offline single player story?
>>319624824
This looks worse than Blacklist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVhteYysEE
Guy playing is a fucking window licking idiot from what I can tell but only leaked footage i can find.
>>319619781
are you legally allowed to cancel the preorder with ubisoft? Speaking as an American pretty sure that is illegal since your denying the rights of the corporation the contract you signed to buy the game.
Does anyone else feel like the developers don't know what kind of game they want?
>>319627740
30 fps will do that to a game.
Isn't this game under NDA
>>319628107
So?
We're all anonymous here :^)
Isn't the internet great?
>>319628007
Yea i think there trying to come up with a new one.
>>319628165
i was just wondering because of streams
>>319624824
looks like mofuggin battlefield 4 just in 3rd person
Isn't Tom Clancy fucking dead?
>>319628282
genre I mean.
>>319628378
RIP
show some respect, Ubisoft ain't doing it
>>319628107
>implying an NDA has ever stopped a person from leaking info. Even if it cost them their career :^)
>>319628165
Leaks are greatly appreciated anon
>>319621608
Typical? That didn't happen on farcry, or rainbow siege. Do you just play asscreeds? Kill yourself
>>319628434
F
a real human bean ;_;
>>319627805
Looks surprisingly decent to me, I was expecting much worse. I'm sure the obvious graphical downgrade will be a huge bullshit 'gaming controversy' perpetuated by TotalIdiot and Jim Sterling when it finally releases.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8czrh2zuFu8
Russians dont give a fuck about NDA's
>hated the idea of dark zone when it was first announced
>avoid it in the beta for a long time
>decide to go in since there's nothing left to do in the safe zone
>mfw dark zone is the best thing in the world
no game has ever made me feel this amazing tension when walking past players or extracting loot, even with a buddy you feel unprotected, that these group of 4 dudes could kill us at any Second and we wouldn't have a chance.
there's always that tension that who ever goes fires first and goes Rouge.
I'm still on the fence about buying it cause the safe zone stuff is boring but man dark zone is a thrill ride.
>>319629615
wew lad, i want to be excited for it but
>Uplay
god damn
>>319629697
I've been interested in the game since it got announced but I've been super wary of it because all of the gameplay is staged as fuck. Maybe some gameplay will start filtering out and I can judge it better now. You make the Dark Zone sound fun, though.
>>319629827
I'm sure they'll do a beta for all platforms, they can't pull another unity/watchdogs.
also the "hype' has died down for this game and people probably forgot about it so they need to pick up their game if they want to sell it, shit even I forgot I applied for the beta until iIgot the email.
fair warning, it's very Destiny like.
>>319629697
I think the dark zone is supposed to be so big that you dont really have to leave if you dont want to. one thing I always hated about dayz was that when I wanted to just go and fuck around with my friends there was always a threat of getting fucking einfielded by a fresh spawn.
>>319629701
i feel the same way senpai. its on steam tho!!
>>319629615
Looks solid, I'll give the PC version a shot
>>319630071
I haven't played Destiny. What do you mean?
>>319630109
same here. I always find it funny when console people get upset that there 400 dollar dvd stand can never stand up to 1000 dollar rigs.
>>319630091
I love how the feel helplessness at any angle forces you to team up with a buddy, and if it's a random you have to gain their trust so you know he won't back stab you or you to him... or search for a group on the holo map, but I like this way better, builds character.
you don't get that outside of dark zone
I like how recoil seems to be a thing in this game so far on consoles. will have to see if it translates to pc.
>>319630535
>just go in the dark zone naked
>stab some fucker in alley
>free wheel it outta there when nobody is looking
i have a feeling this game is gonna be more fun tha dark souls when it comes to PvP
Nuh uh, I ain't following no goddamn hypetrains or gettin hyped over alpha/beta/gamma/omega versions. Not afterpre ordering fucking EVOLVE. FUCKING EVOLVE GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
>>319628007
I get the impression they started over halfway through development and changed it from whatever it was going to be to being a Destiny clone because Ubisoft wanted a piece of that pie.
>>319630091
yea you can buy it through steam to download it on uplay.
>>319631134
ehhhhhhhhhhh
so how is the pvp so far?
Someone said it's more of an rpg than they thought, does this mean a guy 10 levels above you will always win no matter what due to sheer difference in stats?
>>319631698
not sure waiting for someone to leak darkzone gameplay.
>>319630767
I saw Evolve being a shit ass fuck game from a mile away. This game however, has promise due to it already being like a few open world games, plus RPG elements, plus gears of war elements. It has too many elements of other games for it to be as bad as evolve.
Fuck Evolve.
>>319631698
I hope so. I want gear to mean something in games. It'd be awesome to be 10 levels above one guy, but then 3 dudes of lower level gank you and beat you for an item.
>>319630071
This is why I'm interested in it.
Although I like the "spaceiness" of Destiny I always thought that The Divisions mechanics looked better.
I'll probably get it, I mean EB has a 7 day return policy so I never really have to RISK with a game buy, if its shit I just return it.
Will give it a try when the beta is out on my platform.
>>319631698
Its entirely gear based
Your skill is literally irrelevant
>>319632478
Nope. Anyone with even a slight advantage will decimate you.
>>319632914
fucking dropped
>>319632405
The games flaws are pretty obvious to me. It will have almost no variety in it's combat or environments and just be a massive slog after the first hour.
The story will also be dogshit but that's not news to anyone.
>>319624824
I know everyone is throwing a fit over ubishit, and rightfully so. But for an actual alpha/gameplay test, this actually looks kinda fun.
I'm a sucker for the concept and the customization does look nice. The map legend the guy in the vid brought up suggests at least somewhat of a variety of missions. Hope ubi realizes from destiny that you really need to frontload your content before you can worry about dlc.
>>319632914
Do you understand what the word Decimate means right? It means removal of 1/10. Did you mean obliterate?
>>319633362
What kind of varied combat do you expect? Its a fucking shooter.
Same with location, its set in one city, baring city districts what more do you expect?
>this fucking downgrade
I'm fucking dead. Holy shit what the fuck
>>319633414
Noice art
>>319633792
>First get shown PC footage
>Then get shown Xbone footage
>M-muh downgrade!
>>319619781
Of course it's bad, you're playing a shooter with analog sticks
>>319619781
>a game that isn't out yet and no one has played is really bad because I say so
Neo-/v/ is real.
>>319626940
>restore bases
>ubisoft
no surprise kek
>>319634849
PC version will look nothing like the original footage.
>>319635132
There is, literally, zero evidence to back that up. There hasn't been any PC footage since the original announcement. It's all been Xbone since then.
Neo-/v/ is literally nothing but edgelords who are the mirror to the faggots on le redditz. The reddit army is sucking dicks talking about how good this game is, and the autists in here are claiming it's the worst shit since the invention of dlc. You both disgust me. wait for the game to come out, and or open beta. I SAW SOME SCREENS AND A WEB M IT'S LITERALLY AIDS/THE BEST EVER. fuck this gay earth.
>>319623145
>>319623243
It really seems like neither Sony nor Microsoft really disclosed their true hardware specs to developers, all those tech demos at the turn of the generation seemed to assume new consoles would be much more powerful
Im just hoping we can make a grey haired qt
>>319636923
I want my tiny, short haired, skinny jean wearing G-man qt.
>>319636206
This anon is the only sensible poster ITT and absolutely right.
I would be the first to shit on Ubisoft because their game quality overall hasn't been good in over 10 years, but even them I think were honest when they created those demos before the reveal of 8th gen.
They were simply running on PC hardware similar to the expected specs of the final Xbone and PS4 hardware. Turns out that the final versions of those consoles have been stripped and suck shitdick.
No one can openly admit that though, as it would be career suicide and means bad business.
>>319637107
>G-man
what
>>319637632
There's a reason the G-Man is called g-man anon. It's colloquial for mystery/black bag type government agents and workers.
The agents in Division are literal g-men.
>>319635421
what happened with watch dogs?
I don't trust Ubisoft. I remember when they claimed that Beta testers were not allowed to show screenshots or video footage of this game, I can see why.
I just hate the way they treat this concepts. It has a lot of potential.
>>319622027
>dat UI
wow it's REALLY bad, I hope its just a paceholder for the alpha
>>319623524
desu I prefer the Halo way - it looks alright and runs perfectly - vs Ubisoft's or JustCause3 that stress the hardware so it drops to 15 fps yet still has to sacrifice lighting and fidelity
>>319620645
not that I needed a confirmation on the grafics downgrade, but
>Levels
Gameplay confirmed for shit too
>>319640045
dude they literally said it had rpg elements in the announcement trailer
>>319636206
>>319637621
How new are you to not know that developers are given devkits with esact same hardware spec by Sony and MS long before the consoles hit the market?
>>319639720
>Tabs with a list of items
>Literally the same as 90% of games
Please explain how this is REALLY bad.
>>319635421
>MGSV
>WITCHER 3
>LITERALLY ANY GAME THIS GEN
I've got a spare alpha/beta code if anyone wants it. Leave an email
Note there's maintenance going on right now that's been extended, and xbox live seems to be shitting itself too
>>319636206
Before the specs came out everyone really did assume they were going to be more powerful, but MS and Sony knew that if they tried to PSTriple it again they'd fail really hard so we get the ThreeShitty strategy again where they release a system that is already many years out of date and everyone is now fucked for the next decade.
>>319640497
So they literally built a game that they knew was never going to run for one shitty trailer and then painstakingly go through and redo all the assets.
Look I know you're still buttmad over all the prerendered bs they did last gen but come on, there's only so many evil mustache-twirling boogeymen jews in the world.
>>319642221
[email protected] thanks bro you are the light in this tunnel of shit.
>>319642545
gonna send it to your reddit account so i dont have to use my personal email, gimme a min
>>319624824
Why is there so much artifacting in your screencapture. Did you lower the quality of your webm to make it look worse? Or did you just rip this from a stream?
>>319642991
dude it's almost 20 seconds of 1080 footage it's impossible not to have artifacting with the filesize limit
>>319642487
No, production on the game literally didn't even start until months after that trailer at E3, it was a tech demo. Same shit happens every time new consoles are coming out, they make bullshit overblown graphics pieces to get retards to stupid to think for themselves "hype". It pushes sales, simple as that.
>>319643138
so lower it down to 5. I want to see an accurate representation of the game, not a blurry mess that could make crysis 3 look like a 360 game.
I haven't read up much on this game, so is the Dark Zone supposed to be like DayZ or something? Run around, gank people and take all of their equipment type deal?
Since the game has RPG elements, does it actually have shit like attributes, perks and builds (based on level not gear)?
Can I differentiate myself from other players in some way (other than gear)?
>>319643504
Looks like it, but with better team support
>>319643214
Come on man the trailer looked good but it was still pretty obviously running in real time on SOMETHING, probably not a PS4 or whatever but definitely not prerendered. Hell, take Watch Dogs for example, everybody was making a stink about it because a lot of the more advanced effects were still buried in the retail version of the game, unfinished and disabled.
>>319643504
>take all of their equipment
your can't do that . You only can steal few items on the body .
This shit is going to run like utter garbage on pc isn it ?
I can feel it deep in my bowels
>>319624824
Can you post more screenshots of the outdoor areas please?
>>319619781
I am shocked!
SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!
>>319643831
What made it obviously running in real time on something? The whole trailer was a target render. There was no actual working game at that point. It took them like two years to release actual gameplay.
>>319627805
taken down . any more?
>>319644331
Dude...if you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. Granted it looked pretty good, but there's all kinds of tells, aliasing here and there, low-poly debris in the streets, the quality of reflections, faked global illumination...
Like I said, it would be entirely possible for that to have been running on some beast machine or even prerendered IN ENGINE, but for the fact that it would be a colossal waste of resources to make assets that would only be used for a handful of promotional trailers
>>319645710
implying it hasn't been done before anon-kun look at the trailers for MGS V
>>319645857
The premise of my argument is not that downgrades don't exist, it's that the downgrades were unintentional and the result of console manufacturers being cagey about their hardware as opposed to some kind of illuminati conspiracy to enslave the world with bad graphics
>>319633414
Would operate with/10
>>319646218
You put too much onus on the consoles and not the developers which is faggotry, plenty of reveal trailers from companies kept their accuracy, companies like Ubisoft are notorious of faking shit, same with Uncharted 4 and Witcher, etc.
Still waiting for good bitrate 1080p footage
>>319649564
Almost every major release of the current console generation has been downgraded in some way. I don't know what games you're talking about, but to me it seems more likely that one company did something which was relatively easy to do -- lying about system specs -- rather than several doing something much harder.
>>319628378
>implying Tom Clancy ever had anything to do with the actual games themselves
>>319632914
>Its entirely gear based
Fuck that. Body armor should offer some protection, but other than that gear should be entirely aesthetic only.
Shooters really need to stop trying to be RPGs, because it just makes the shooting less fun.
I'm playing too atm and yes it has been downgraded, pop.in is very bad but it still looks fucking amazing to be honest
>a REALISTIC SHOOTER with borderlands elements and gear stats
WOW
What a fucking catastrophe
>>319630438
The gameplay is solid but I can already see that the story is going to be nothing. The core of the game is gonna be gear and game play. I haven't touched the pvp darkzone stuff but I hear good things so far.
>Only alpha on consoles so they can tell us it's just downgraded on consoles
>Don't show any footage of actual PC gameplay
>Scripted footage all around
lmao this game is DOA.
>>319635570
cry
>>319630439
>implying they get upset for not having wasted an extra $600 on a machine that plays the same fucking games.
>>319621643
even the character knows he's been downgraded
>>319623524
>>319642991
Pretty sure the point of his webm was to show the shitty framerate.
That other guy who keeps saying skill is irrelevant just sucks at the game.
I destroyed a full squad underground using guerilla warfare because I knew the map way better and got all headshots while they couldnt aim for shit under pressure.
Thanks for the gear nerds.
>>319619781
Oh really? Is there ANYONE here that did not see that coming Miles away? Reskinned phantoms. It was fucking obvious. If you get fooled by Ubisoft you really deserve it.
>>319619781
I played the alpha for a few hours last night. It's got some neat features and sometimes the UI is pretty cool, but other times it's clunky as fuck and full on nonsense crowding the screen. The graphics are an insane downgrade from the E3 footage, which I expected but still they're even worse than I could have imagined. I mean the game doesn't look terrible as a whole, but textures on the most common object (cars/trucks) are dogshit. The gunplay is alright, but the legions of bullet sponge enemies get tiring because they're literally just a group of gangsters that take full mags to the face. You can't even headshot them.
Played a little of the PvP mode and kind of had some fun for a bit even if I didn't know what the fuck was going on. It was kind of a clusterfuck from what I gathered. Everyone spawns at an entrance to the "Dark Zone", and immediately either starts shooting at players or working with other players. But it's kinda fucked because if you accidentally friendly fire on someone that runs in front of you or something you get immediately labeled "rogue agent" with a huge target on your head, and displayed on the minimap and everyone team shoots you.
It's interesting, but ultimately looks like a stale world with not much to do at first glance. We'll see how it develops.
>>319654019
>We'll see how it develops
I'd like to say the usual "but it's only an alpha", but considering how Ubisoft already made Massive downgrade the game's graphics for PC-Console parity, I'm not very optimistic
>>319651840
kek
>>319654019
>you cant even headshot them
Stopped reading there, you have no idea what youre talking about.
>>319621960
Come on
UBbisoft can do worse than that
