    I'm slightly tempted to get this too as game looks huge and great value at the current sale price but still have to play Days Gone plus Division 2 Raid starts on Thursday.

    Yeah I'm not touching anything else until days gone is finished but gonna try the demo tonight so I can decide before the sale finishes. I'm only WT 2 in division 2 so need to get back to that as well but the summer is looking a bit dry game wise so this might fill that void.

    I'm WT5 so I'm raid ready (sorta) so probably playing that this week. I still have DMC5 and Rage 2 to play along with Days Gone so might wait a while for them to go on sale. I also have the ever growing backlog I could go through

    PSN sale finishes tomorrow and I saw it has a demo so downloaded it to give it a quick go tonight. If I get, it the game is fully downloaded and my progress will carry over. Intro explaining the story already has me very interested. Any beginning tips to get off to a good start?

    Get the HTI sniper rifle as quickly as you can( easily googleable) and TXii scope. it shoots tru most cover unsilenced only.
    Dont bother with the side missions (the icons of the map).
    Find a decent assault rifle for CQB, i used the L85a2


    Find some other PS4 lads to play it with to make **** interesting.

    I'd also suggest that it's perfectly sensible to change your loadout in the middle of a mission, there are loads of the weapon stashes in the game to allow you to do so. Switching out a sniper rifle for an SMG or shotgun when you move from ranged to close quarters will save your life instead of waiting for your AR to reload :D

    Also, the under-barrel grenade launchers for your AR are extremely useful for taking care of helicopters once you get the range and "arc" dialed in.

    Did a couple of missions last night. Found myself stuck in a position afraid to move, fairly tense, until I made a mistake and my AI guys took out everyone before I could shoot a bullet. The next mission, they alerted the camp by 'sneaking' around in the middle of the enemy area, bumping one of the enemies to 'sneak' past him. hhhmmmm. The motorbike is a great laugh to get around though. Think I'm gonna make the purchase.

    I don't think the bushes count as hard cover for blocking LOS. One of the useful features of the "easy mode" HUD elements is that you can learn when you're being spotted and which cover will prevent it.

    Finished the main story yesterday and decided to start on Narco Road today. Jebus, it's frustrating. The missions are annoying and the vechicle handling being as poor as it is means it's a bit of a sht show to try and drive around.

    I'm skipping it, doing the Fallen Ghosts instead and it's off to a fine start.

    A BR released for this and it looks awesome.....IF it can be played privatley!!!

    Didnt think the Anvil engine could support 8 players with that large map but seemingly its good.

    But it needs private play as Wildlands is great craic with others in coop. To go up against your buddies would be brilliant.
