re: **The Division** Official PS4 Thread

This one seems a little more active than the xbox thread, so I'll ask in here. Do y'all find the game to be a bit difficult at times? I pretty much exclusively shoot from cover (either blind or i'll pop out for brief periods) maybe I'm not using my grenades enough (usually forget about them honestly) and/or not being very patient. Just seems like the few side missions I've done have been a little harder than they should've been. I'm usually a sports gamer, so that I'm struggling a little bit is not my concern. Just looking for the correct way to play the game.

new to ps4 ownership never played a game like this would i need play station plus membership for this game?

thanks might pick it up this weekend

I have a few questions as I'm still debating whether to pick this up after playing the Beta.

I've watched several streams and I'm just not sold by watching the gameplay alone. However, I do like teaming up with friends and doing stuff in-game. However, like someone else said, the fact that it takes multiple rounds to kill a human enemy is a real turn-off or me. Is it really that bad in the game's final product?

I thought the Division was supposed to be based on realism? Even Destiny allows you to two-shot certain enemies. I'm not bashing the company, they can obviously do what they want, but if that's the case I'm not sure if I could get past that.

Regardless, if someone in here speaks highly enough of it, I certainly haven't crossed it off my list at all, I have it reserved at Gamestop. Just a matter of actually going and paying for it.

Everything factors into how many shots it is to kill someone. If you are a level 10 going up against a level 8 opponent with a level 3 gun, it's going to take a bit to kill him. Likewise, if you have a level 10 gun, your character is level 10, and your opponent is level 8, you should dispose of him rather easily. With there being so many AR's and SMG's in the game, it's really hard to tell just how many shots it takes to kill someone. However, I know that with my Marksman Rifle (Sniper), as a level 13, I can deal almost 4K damage (headshot) to my enemy (insta kill on level 9 and below).

The game is essentially a more realistic looking version of Destiny. The graphics aren't of alien-esque planets or anything like that. It takes place in New York City. The gameplay is roughly the same, and they will even start having raids and what not. If you liked either Destiny or Borderlands, I promise you that you will enjoy this game.

Nobody.
The only time realism was ever mentioned it was with the art style and city.

People just continue to see what they want.

I mean the fact that it's a Tom Clancy, takes place in NYC, involves actual human players fighting against actual other humans screams that it's supposed to be somewhat realistic.

However, what was said about the damage makes more sense. I thought all enemies would tank rounds, but I totally understand what you mean by the weapon lvl, enemy lvl and your lvl and so forth. Pretty much exactly like Destiny.

Thanks!

I just picked it up looking forward to playing tonight.

How big is the map though? I hadn't seen it talked about really. Is it all of Manhattan? Parts of Manhattan and some of the boroughs?

Thanks.

One last question, what is the dark zone about? haven't really found a good explanation.
