Does anyone play PvE or PvP survival anymore? Last time I played (sometimes in 2017 iirc) I’d sit for five minutes in the queue until being placed in match by myself.
It’s hard to get excited until I find out how badly they completely fuck up single player again. But otherwise I’m looking forward to the game. It’s too bad Gears of War 4 couldn’t have adopted the cover system Division uses. Division 1 has best cover system ever, while Gears of war 4 is garbage.
Garbage is a bit hyperbolic as the cover system in Gears is just fine. I prefer the ones in Tomb Raider and Ghost Recon Wildlands though: soft cover where you automatically take cover instead of snapping hard like in The Division and Gears, as it makes the system a lot more fluid and flexible.
The cover system in The Divsion is far more clunkier compared to Wildlands than Gears compared to The Divsion. And, honestly, I can’t even remember that much differences between those two games (at least with a controller).
I like the Dark Zone changes they’re working on - 3 separate Dark Zones, each week two of the three will have stat normalization to even up the playing field, while the third will be a total free-for-all along the lines of the first game.
That’s fair, I understand a lot of people found playing the first game solo to be a pretty frustrating experience. Looks like I’ll be finding out firsthand how the sequel plays since I don’t think my friends are buying.
Solo wasn’t really an issue in the first game, as I played the Xbox version solo without any major issues (while I played the PC version with friends). And the matchmaking for the campaign missions was great too if you didn’t want to play solo.
