I've been disappointed in division. Part of it being the lack of diversity in pve and the highly unbalanced pvp.

The pve enemies have different names, but ultimately the mechanics of most of them are the same. I havent tried the incursion yet, not really motivated too, but from what my friends say it's something to do but not super fun.

Along with all that they made the gear, guns and ability/talent to complicated. You need to do to much research to figure out the current meta loadout for pve and pvp. With that it's a lot of effort to change the build for each of those modes.

I did play destiny the last couple of days. It was somewhat fun after not playing for the last couple of months. Mostly it's to easy though. I have soloed the 42 POE twice. Took about 45 minutes each time.


So mostly I'm still playing rainbow six siege and having a lot of fun.

Also playing rocket league and that's been silly fun.

To each their own I guess.

We've done the incursion twice now, you gotta have good communication and the set ups need to be just right. ....Otherwise you're gonna be there like a fool grinding. I need to hit destiny for sure. I've just been consumed with the division.

But the mechanics and strategy is great. Usually people who don't know how to play or get their asses handed to them over and over, well it's the player who's no good....just sayin

Bleh. Multiplayer shit. Imma lone wolf. Huge single player worlds where I can just get lost and relax.

The Division is just a bunch of bullet sponges. It is ok. I find myself doing a mission and then getting bored. The controls are great and very fluid.

Rocket league is a great game.

Since the new update on the division, this game has blown my expectations in many ways. Destiny did release a new patch as well and that in itself is :woot:

Thankfully I'm not working much in the next few weeks. I've got 13 days of time logged into the division already.

Graphics look insane on the upcoming final fantasy game.

Hell yea. GTA5 is my favorite game of all time.

Yeah I hear you. Leaves you feeling kind of alienated.

[Bouncer]

Your prob right.

Call me old school, there's something I don't like about this. Gimme tons of great games of ps4 for a few more years at least. Whole new system this soon.. Ehh

[chuckz28]

In theory it would work but the main difference is back then the architecture was so vastly different from coding on a PC due to the cell processor that it took developers years to figure it all out. This time the code is for x86 just like a pc has always been so there isn't as much room for improvement. The games will get better but only marginally without a bump in hardware.

[Bouncer]

Personally, I'd rather see them optimize and get the most out of the ps4.

Look at ps3 games when ps3 first came out vs the end of the ps3 life cycle. Games looked completely different.

They can do a whole lot more with the ps4 if they try.

Report: Sony working on upgraded, 4K-capable PS4 | Ars Technica

Development sources say hardware refresh would sport more powerful GPU.

Sony has begun briefing developers on plans to release a new version of the PS4 with increased graphical capabilities, according to a report from Kotaku.

The PS4.5 (as at least one overheard developer is apparently calling it) would sport a more powerful GPU than the current console, according to the report. That new hardware would allow the system to support games running at 4K resolution (the PS4 can currently only display photos and videos in 4K) and could help power more detailed experiences on the upcoming PlayStation VR. It's unclear from the report whether the improved power would be available in the form of a new console or as an upgrade program to existing PS4 units (or both).

Kotaku's Patrick Klepek cites two trusted development sources for the information and says other staffers at the site were able to independently confirm the same hardware plans with additional sources. That said, Klepek's sources warn that the plans they're hearing about seem more "exploratory" and vague than anything concrete at this point.

A slight graphical upgrade to the PS4 would make some sense to fill the gap between now and the eventual release of an entirely new PlayStation 5 platform. Just over two years out, the PS4 is already starting to show its age a bit at the top end of the performance curve. The PlayStation VR headset, for instance, runs at a slightly lower resolution than its high-end PC competition, and the device needs an external processing box to help offload some processing work from the central system (though Sony insists that box's role has been overstated in the press).

Outside of VR, 4K TVs are becoming much more affordable and common in living rooms around the world. That's easy to forget given that the now-standard HDTV was far from a household item when the Xbox 360 and PS3 released in 2005 and 2006. In fact, the Wii's lack of contemporary HD support made its graphics look increasingly dated throughout its lifespan. The jump from 1080p HD to 4K resolutions isn't quite as revelatory as that resolution jump from a decade ago, but today's consoles could start to look similarly dated if they can't take full advantage of 4K TVs.

If it was to happen, this kind of mid-generation tweak to the actual graphical power of home console hardware is pretty much unprecedented (unless you count external add-ons like the Sega CD and 32X). Sony would have to handle some tough questions about how older PS4 games would be upscaled for any half-measure upgraded system and whether the company would allow new games to run exclusively on the PS4.5 (much like some portable games now require the upgraded "new Nintendo 3DS"). Any "enhanced PS4" rollout would have to be managed very carefully to avoid splitting the market.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer recently floated a trial balloon hinting that the Xbox One might see its own PC-style upgrade program in the near future (though he later walked back those statements a bit). In any case, with outfits like Valve taking pains to make PCs more console-like, it wouldn't be a total shock if consoles start imitating the PC's hardware upgrade cycle in return.
