You could also group up with other ppl, go search for lpot, and then help each other get on the helo...I would imagine.

How can you say it's doing it right when we haven't had much in depth gameplay on the multiplayer

I just hope for an off line mode. Shouldnt force people to go online only. Seems like a game you can get involved in by your self

Isn't it supposed to be an MMO though? An offline MMO makes no sense to me and defeats the purpose of the game's initial design purpose.

I'll have to see more info on this game before I judge on whether or not the multiplayer is up to par. We really haven't seen much of this title. Isn't it due out at the end of this year?

Its a shame they are blocking many Single Player fans just like that.

I wanted to explore the beauty of this world SOLO just like Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

No, it's simply a co-op MP game. Think of it like an online Evolve game.

Lol i dont go to a racing game saying they should have a mode where you dont drive because I don't like driving in games. If they want to make an mmo/coop game then don't try to change it. I get why some people say they don't like mp games, but you haven't even tried it. Coop can be extremely fun and theres no reason to be adverse to it with out playing. I heard the same thing in destiny but coop and the coop only parts are so much better.

I agree, I think having co-op only will totally destroy immersion. I want to explore and take my time not rush to the next mission/gun battle like you know would happen in co-op

Then play with people like you. there are plenty of ways to find players to play with. I think some people hear mp and think cod and its not like that with every game.

I agree FoxTrot....how do we know when all they have shown is MP presentations set up to wow us? On top of that, it's Ubisoft. So far this gen, they have failed miserably with games. Unity was atrocious. Far Cry was a rehash of FC3 (or at least it felt like it when I played it through).

I noticed (particularly this gen) that Ubisoft games look good in the presentation. It shows the potential....but then you get the game in your hands and it's either a glitchy mess or not nearly as good as promised.

Not saying don't buy, but approach with caution as this one, like the rest, looks AWESOME in the presentation. I'm hyped for it too, trust me but with the track record so far, it seems like it's too far off to tell anything.

Definitely not a day 1 buy, not with UBI's track record any way. I would hold off until you get word on whether or not they screwed this one up first.

Although this one this game is one of the few games that do interest me , but thanks to UBI's repeated f**k ups I'll wait first.

it's their game so why can't they make a game that requires online interaction with others? nobody is forcing you to buy the game and if they make it perfectly clear it requires an internet connection to play what's the problem? we get hundreds of games released per year yet you want to make an issue out of this one just because it requires you to be online?

it's their choice to alienate people from playing if they cannot connect online or don't want to be required to be connected to play. why do people defend short games that charge $60 and at the same time don't want to spend $60 on a game that requires an online connection that might be good and you want to keep for awhile?

are you not connected online when you wrote this comment? is the system you want to play this game not connected to the internet? or are you just speaking on behalf of others who are not connected online?

what i will say is games like these need to not have connection issues because if they do customers should be able to ask for their money back depending on the situation.

I think this game is going to be Online only like Destiny which could be a good or bad thing. We shall wait and see.

No judgement should be made until said product hits retail. The concept and what it aims to do is amazing and hopefully they're able to execute it.

Really? MAG must have had more fans than I thought, all I heard was bitching about it, but I've never played it so I have no opinion on what it is or how good it is.

If I'm going to grind for loot over and over again then at least have the common decency to include random generated levels like Diablo 3. Do not. DO NOT pulll a Destiny and make me go to Old Russia a billion freaking times.

Diablo 3 doesn't have randomly generated levels. The rifts are levels from the main game, just in a different order.

Edit - …and sometimes the lighting is different.

Diablo 3 world maps may not be completely generated but the under grounds are, and even more importantly the highend Greater Rifts are completely random.

But that's besides the point. Even the when the maps are not random, the encounters and events in the levels are. You never know which Elites, with which abilities are going to be where. That alone makes it a better game than Destiny.

MysticStrummer4081d ago

Oh yeah you'll get no argument from me about Diablo being better than Destiny, though I do enjoy Destiny as well.

You're saying the high end Greater Rifts are completely random? Interesting. I haven't done one of those and have no idea even how to access them.

I don't know what you mean by "the undergrounds are". All the caves and tunnels I see in Adventure mode are reused from the main game, except the lighting is different and like you said the encounters are as well.

No offline Single-player Campaign for this kind of game that has a huge potential for that mode ?! Then that is fail from my point of view, sorry. They will lose a big percent of gamers for that...

Nope. This game is all about the online play and that's fine. If you want offline, grab your popcorn and watch The Order.

Blows my mind gamers demanding an sp experience from an mp only game yet i bet they are the same ones complaining about sp games who have an mp portion attached.

If you DON'T like mp only games then this game ISN'T for you. Go play the order over and over and stop with your hypocrisy.

THAT'S all you hear from them, the order doesn't need mp or co-op. Well the division doesn't need an sp portion taking away from the mp. Sounds familiar? Lol
