Official Thread The Division v. 2

these impressions are making me interested

beta was very meh to me though so not sure what to do

Beta was a very good indication of the final game IMHO. Whatever you didn't like about beta is probably in the final game.

I can't believe we're comparing the X with the PC. Of course the PC is the better looking version. Shocker.
 
Does the firefly suck and is the drone worth getting?
I can't stand the Firefly.

Drone, eh...It isn't so much that it is bad, it is just that other skills are better at the same things. Offensively the Turret is better. Healing wise Chem Launcher is better.

I am playing on the X1X and it looks stellar. I am a console gamer first and foremost and I am extremely happy.

I think the game looks great on One X/my set. So many little touches in the game world.

Last night I experienced my first rain/thunder storm it sounded amazing when I was in a building on my surround sound.

Very happy with the PC version. They did a good job with the optimization. It looks phenomenal.
 
Holy s*** did i get my ass kicked this morning. It wasn't even a control point. I took over an area and gave them food and water thatch acquired and they gave me the name of a boss i think. Anyway, it wasn't the boss that kicked my ass it was the hyenas that came up behind me while I was taking care of the ones in front of me. So basically I failed. The AI in this game us really good and challenging.

One weird thing that happed last night is I got a bounty and when I went to the area/building they were in I could not find an entrance anywhere and failed the bounty.
 
I played the beta on X1X and it looks very nice, but the framerate was not good. Way too many dips for my taste. I can get 60fps easily on my PC with only turning down of the few details (I moved shadow detail down one bit). I just can't play these games with fps dips in the 20s.

FYI - You can replay bounties if you fail.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying my time in D2. I'm in no rush to get to end game.

I'll do solo quite a bit, but then I'll answer a call to run a few missions or something. Then I'll join others for the bigger missions, because it can get lonely sometimes.
 


Lower than low...


That's misleading. That's on the tessellation and Temporal stability on some effects Like volumetrics and AO . Shadows and other settings (like Paralax occlusion maps and SSR) range between high and low.

Moreover, the game played really well when I played the beta. If you aren't the typical PC snob, the game looks really good, and plays well. That said, I wouldn't mind a 1440p graphics mode or something just for increased LOD distance.
