  1. Completely with you on the sensitivity.

    Default 6, fine to look side to side, up and down, but when you drop into hip fire it feels SO much higher. Not balanced.

    Ads, also the same, feels like at times the aim is extremely quick, others the ramp up time is so slow, and as much as your ‘yanking on the stick’ it just don’t hit the target. Very strange.

    Graphics seem a downgrade from some of the first footage. Few sound bugs in cut scenes, sentences / odd words repeating.

    The audio was excellent. And I only play with hyper X earbuds and haven’t tried my headset.

    The cut scenes I hate watching, but thumbs up on the dialogue between the npcs AND your character, division always fell down on this, silent agents.

    3 hours I think it’s enough demo wise. Not worth my £60 for full product.

  2. I've been following Outriders closely for a while now. I'm bummed to hear about the floaty movement and the weapons lacking oomph. That was my main complaint with Defiance and it was the reason I didn't really go all in on that game. I suppose I should try out the demo myself and see how it feels.

  3. Dude you’re much like everybody else talks about it not being a game of service like that a fucking advantage all that means they will want to play through the game yellow seen everything and you might as well move on to something else do you know unless your main goal is to play it and harder and harder while tears and tell you you know master the highest levels game to service our inherently bad bad developers and publishing companies mail you the trip delays put out games meant to be service live service games in an unfinished state making them bad games but it’s not the confab got a live service game that makes a bad game the very first major life service game that ever existed in the gaming industry was Ultima line that game had a massive following and lasted for a ride what is it now why 23 years 24 years I’m gonna came out 97 and it’s still going today although that I’m not sure reduce population and they released expansion after expansion after expansion all kinds of cosmetics all kinds of things are available in that game it is the poster child of live service games while in the Warcraft as well these games of existed for 20+ years and their beloved by their communitiesJust because the same companies today like an African EA and Hannah Activision can’t manage to put a game out in a finish stay regardless of whether it’s a live service game or a one and done pay to play game doesn’t have anything to do with the concept of live service many people like to play one game and get invested in it and play it for a long term and many hours

  4. Got to be fair dude when you actually shoot a shotgun you don’t feel the shot hitting either so I’m not sure which talking about him I felt I didn’t use a shotgun and I felt better under powered one I had was anyway I use in the soul rifle for a couple reasons one I quickly came to a blue one that I had white steel on it which helped a lot man I felt like it was pretty impactful but it was quickly out leveled

  5. Dude it was a good God seen the truck ride to drop you off out and no whatever they called it but it was just a video man you’re making like it was the best part of the game but you’re doing nothing but rider long in the back of the truck completely out of control of your character watching a video I mean why don’t you just watch a sci-fi video

  6. In Division you feel powerfull when shooting? Cmon man hahaha its a water pistol game with most horrible sound design
    Also demo is just prologue, ofc it will have a lot cutscenes….its basically tutorial

    Regarding end game, watch videos on their channel

  7. I am for one glad that there is no PVP because that is what destroyed Division 2 in my opinion. You are totally correct in the movement and gameplay not being very smooth. That was one of the first things I was thinking when playing this game that it was clunky. I thought for a moment that it was a cover shooter but, like you said, it really isn't at all and you need to push and push constantly. For the amount of aggressive gameplay that they want you to have they really really REALLY!! need to work on the gameplay of the character you control. For me the game is fun but for 60 dollars if this is the state the game will more or less be in at launch then you can count me as a no. They need to do a lot of work to this game, especially in the character control before I or I think anyone should pay 60 dollars.

  8. The ability tree and armor is really good. For example as the Devastator, the shield that stops bullets and returns them for damage, you can change your ability by wearing these Trousers that allows your shield to fight during its duration, and takes 50% less damage to all players in it. So, the diversity for your classes is really wide.

    As far as your overall assessment, I think it’s fair what you’re saying with your concerns, especially since games today always let us down all the time. They are being somewhat transparent with fixes towards the game, like motion blur or 30FPS. So I’m sure “updates” will happen, they’re just referring to content and live service meaning daily bounties or different “tasks”.

  9. Definitely a buy for me. I probably will pre order it. But because of past pre orders, I have decided not to until maybe a few days before it's release. Otherwise it seems good. But I want to know the road map and how much more is in the game besides the demo.

  10. Everyone should beg Ubisoft for forgiveness they are the only ones that have put out a great game that’s amazing. Division 1-2 story,mechanics,gameplay,graphics outriders tried and failed but did an 85% good job

  11. I didn't like anything about it. I didn't like the gunplay, the world seemed fake, not a living breathing place like other games, the characters and character customisation are bad and omg that shaky cam? They might not be able to fix that? Did they even play their game to see how annoying and dizzying that is?
    Based on what I've seen the endgame will be lackluster, bunch of 2 min run bosses. No thanks.

  12. I am enjoying it more and more. I will be getting it. I won't claim it is the best game ever. Graphics are average at best. The game definitely needs to be able to turn off motion blur.

  13. For me it's a game to jump into with friends and have some crazy action shooting for a while but not a game I could really dive in like division. As you said, it has potential and maybe they will fix a lot of the demo issues, but I am also not sure to buy it because I think i would not play it alone or only occasionally. But in the end it is funny and might be a something for casual players

  14. The game is awesome fun. Leveled all 4 classes to 7 and world tier 5. Hell I'm farming legendaries (3 so far) and I am not getting bored. I love the combat, there is such a satisfying feeling from blowing up your enemy when you land those head shots. Story is fun, play is fun. I truly recommend you readers go out and try it for yourself. The DEMO is just a demo and the game I truly believe will get better as it goes. Go try it.

  15. It is called increase your sensititivity, gameplay is its own mechanic, it ain't a division, destiny, warframe, and it ain't anthem. Really stupid to compare to other looter shooter lol.. Don't be another youtube channel that destroys games. If you have movement issue that is your own issue not the game. The whole point of this game is be aggressive not cover and be a coward.
