BaD Number OOOno! The Division Beta Review!

This Guy!

  

First let's start with the story. A sleeper cell released a deadly virus that taken out over have of New York, so like with any type of attack everything goes to hell in a hand-basket. Now, The Division, which tried to stop this from happening is trying to fix it. That is were you come in, you are one of the agents sent out to help restart everything.

 

Now, this is were I would have posted the pictures of the menu and selections within.

As you can see, when you pull up your menu using the menu button on the XBone controller, you can check your level in regular story and Dark Zone. Plus DPS, Health and Skill.

 

In this menu you can check all your inventory, Beans and Bullets!

 

In this menu, you can change out your weapons equipped gear like body-armor and the like.

This menu, you can change your cloths. Say you just got a cool leather jacket from a civilian you just helped. This is were you go to equip it. you all can equip it on fly when you receive it.

This is another menu that show location,abilities, intel and such.

 

Here is a sot of the map. I really like this layout.

 

This is a screen-shot of me headed out on a mission. To my right is my health bar, bullet count, health kit count etc. The orange arrow in the 11O'clock position is the marker that leads you to your destination.

 

 

This game has a 4 player CoOp, or do it alone story, then there is the Dark Zone, which is the PvP area were all the coolest gear is supposed to be.  I will not worry about that area until I get my game in March. Now there isn't a way to go First Person, So, for those that do not like playing in 3rd person it will have to be something to get use to.

Being limited to only one Story Mission and a few side missions you only got a taste of what to expect.

I give this Beta 5 \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ out of 5.

so you liked it, huh?  I don't mind playing 3rd person shooters.  Sometimes I prefer them, as you can more easily tell how you are in the environment. 

My only gripe is it's Tom Clancy so it's going to be reality based... no monsters or anything in NYC. I guess that's cool, but I always expected more of a sci fi bent with this.  Maybe it will be awesome though, I am eager to play it.

Can you see the pictures?

no, you should use photobucket or something.  I don't think using google works.

Yeah, I see the pictures now. Google has done something to screw things up.

I switched over to Photobucket, can you see them now? They seem to stay now.

I watched a gameplay video. No one does these things right. You hear a lot of chitty chat over video of them just running around doing almost nothing. Then you get the pro trailers which show you snippets of cutscenes. I want a short video demonstrating the things you do in the game. Can anyone handle that? Apparently not.

That's my rant, otherwise it looks pretty cool.

I plan to do that with my Twitch account. I will let people know. I also agree with you stop all the chit chat crap. The Beta seemed really polished, everything looks awesome for a console. I can only attest to the XBone though. Hopefully by the end  of the year I will have a PS4 also.

Glad you liked it. Like Snee, I prefer 3rd person sometimes because I hate getting sneak attacked in first person when my eyes are not on map.

I think it really adds to the experience in this game keeping it 3rd person. Finally next Gen is getting games that do not visually look like last gen.

All the pictures are missing. Still, glad you liked it. It is one I'm quietly anticipating, and just hoping they don't botch it.

Yeah, I know. I am in the process of moving the pictures and hoping they stay. I usually do not go for these types of games other than Battlefield games, but after watching a lot of video and reading I decided to go for it. So far I am glad I did, the graphic are awesome and I like the menu/map design. Although the PC guys found a glitch and exploited the hell out of it like any body would. I have it for the XBone though. Also they extended the Beta until today because it was such a big hit and they had a big waiting list for the Beta code.
