    2mb connection in rest mode overnight would surely have the best part of it done?

    You get an M4A1 for completing the story but you cant mod it so loose the nade launcher if you pick it.

    For me i dont think its must buy, kinda see the appeal but i just dont think it'll be a long time game.
    New zelda will be my next purchase, just going to have to steal my newphew's WiiU for a few weeks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy

    From where?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    From where?

    steam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Finished the open beta missions, have to say I honestly dont think the game is worth the €69.99 price even €59 would be too much. I will pick it up when reduced down the line.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    it's 59 for the deluxe edition on steam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    45 from ubi store for the deluxe edition if you use 20 uplay points for the discount.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    Beta is closed now apparently, so who else preordered?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    Where's the cheapest place to get this on digital download. CD keys don't seem to have it

    I didnt cancel my preorder, had a few decent games over the weekend.

    Would like it to be harder tho.

    I noticed the difference between the zones in difficulty, i'm hoping it scales up as ye move around the map like the division.

    One issue i had is that bodies disappear after while, and while the AI patrols seemingly randomly, they sometimes walk over where you've shot someone and just dont care about the weapon lying on the ground instead of raising the alarm.

    That said though, the stealth is a lot better than other games. I particularly like the sync shot kills, the bullet speed and dip over long range, so you have to lead a snipe target - plus ye can shoot through thin walls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    We tried to bait the attack chopper so we could steal it, which meant getting "4 stars" and laying waste to hundreds of army lads.

    Didnt work :( we couldnt take it down without exploding it and we tried many many different ways.

    Managed to get the M4 Comp scope which is 300m outside the map, by being creative with choppers and crashing them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    I managed to kill myself in an APC while i was skyrim horse driving up a mountain, skidded, slid down and passed the border, couldn't stop, rolled, lol'd, and 15 seconds of that later it killed me :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    I haven't pre-ordered it however its a definite buy for me.

    I think it will drop in price further so I am going to hold out. There seems to be a lot of content. 21 provinces with 5/6 story missions in each along with side missions. I was happy that side missions were not a chore and were very helpful with unlocking more skills and equipment.

    It's done quite well so I can forgive that it's a bit rough around the edges.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Battleflag


    I really enjoyed the game especially playing with a full squad of mates. Although as mentioned previously, I don't think the game is completely polished and will require a few updates before it warrants a full price purchase. The Division really came into its own after a full year of updates and was half the price by then too! Think I will hold out until later rather than sooner


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 techgraphix


    Im keeping my pre-order going. Didnt have much of a chance to play with friends but I can see potential for a good few hours of fun there. It's quite unpolished but i the gun feel (apart from the sounds) makes the game feel quite rewarding. It has it's issues no doubt, but at least it's something a little bit different.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    These cartel fellows should really watch where they are going.

    He's done with the cartel life and wants some of that compo money.
    Car barely tipped him, the chancer.

    TBH, looks like FAILSAFE is in on the scam. Perfect position to be a "Witness" if you ask me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    A few days have passed this is what I would like in the full game.

    When I start a game I set in my game options no fast travel, hardest difficulty, no respawn (you are down until revived) if everyone down mission resets. Anyone that joins has to play these rules.

    Not too concerned about bugs assume they are well posted and documented and will be sorted so no point thinking about them.

    Features:

    When I kill a SAM it stays dead.
    If a town is cleared and the rebels move in I would like the game to do something ie the cartel launches a counter attack a "defend" mission pops up I can choose to play when it suits.
    More varied interrogations either bring them somewhere or make killing them a fail.
    Rappelling from choppers.
    Better flight and driving models.

    I am ashamed to say I have been made... I even took out another witness just to make sure my tale of the events would be the only one that would be heard in this matter.

    Cheapest I've found it: https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/tom-clancy-s-ghost-recon-wildlands-gold-edition-uplay-key--3051-3?ref=itad (link from Enhanced Steam plugin, might have their affiliate code on it). I'm very tempted cause I really enjoyed it.

    Fiver more for the Gold edition (works out just about €65 on Games Planet with today's exchange rate).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,764 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Ahhh its the gold edition you want, I didn't see that.

    Well yea, there's no point in buying half the game :)

    I really enjoyed the beta.So I'll definitely pick it up. Just can't decide on which platform.

    Quite enjoyed the beta myself. Some of my friends are also looking at buying it (a game best played with people as opposed to AI). If you're on the PC, GreenMan Gaming are currently doing an offer for 18% off along with being able to pick up the Deluxe Edition for the same price as the Standard Edition.

    I will be getting it on console (PS4) myself but will be waiting for a few months (Ubisoft generally cut the price in half a few months down the road).
