I am really missing the day when Tom Clancy games had balls.

My brother plays the game. Thus far he has said that all the random pugs he has been in have all been well mannered and polite.JohnnyDelRay said:Speaking of which, can anyone who's played it weigh-in on whether the game is playable with strangers? If the solo is out of question, and I don't have any buddies (on PC at least) who play it - what's it like jumping in a random party?
Thanks, that's all I really wanted to know. Seems the game could be quite prone to trolling, or getting screwed over if you get too brave without some sort of crew. Also with the collidable player models and so on.008Zulu said:My brother plays the game.

I join matchmaking for every major mission - Partly due to the fact I'm far too afraid to do them on my own, especially with the knowledge that they end with a boss every time.JohnnyDelRay said:Thanks, that's all I really wanted to know.

Read the entire article. The headline supports your claim, the article body questions Microsoft's claim since they do not differentiate hardware and software and only focus on the total money from bundles+software.Michael Prymula said:Not according to Forbes:http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2015/11/04/halo-5-was-the-biggest-launch-in-halo-history/#228e97b552e5erttheking said:By the industry average? Yes. By the Halo average not so much though. In fact I think I saw some people argue that it was the weakest entry in the series regarding sheer copies.Michael Prymula said:Halo 5 still sold well regardless though.erttheking said:I'm skeptical, considering that Ubisoft is saying the amount of money it made and not the number of copies it sold. When Halo 5 did this it turned out that it was counting the money made off of Xbox One bundles, and sure enough, similar bundles are being offered for the division.Adeptus Aspartem said:And apparently it's still Ubisofts best selling game ever. And people wonder about why the AAA industry behaves the way it does - because people buy the grey sludge anyway.
OT: Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the idea of secret government agents being prepared to take over sounded a little dodgy.
Rainbow Six Siege on its own is not a bad game.Michael Prymula said:I was so pissed when Patriots got cancelled, and I was even more pissed when I heard Siege would have no single player campaign at all(a Tom Clancy game with no campaign is the biggest oxymoron i've ever heard).Samtemdo8 said:I am really missing the day when Tom Clancy games had balls.

Again: This goes both ways. One opinion isn't magically more "right"/"wrong" than another.Michael Prymula said:Again, that's just your opinion, not a fact. You can't "turn people around" just cause they don't share your opinion, that's just silly. I'd love to convince everyone that Rainbow Six Siege is a rip-off for what it offers, but some people have no problem paying full price for it, so I can't really say their opinion that it's a good value proposition is wrong, just like you can't say that someone who likes The Division is "wrong".Adeptus Aspartem said:This can be turned around though. Just because people are happy with "grey sludge" doesn't mean it suddenly isn't "grey sludge".Michael Prymula said:Just cause it's "grey sludge" doesn't mean it is to everyone.
Let propose this possiblity to you: the game is shit stupid boring, it's your friend beeing there and cracking jokes that makes the scenario exciting and fun. Anything, even a damned dentists apointment can become fun with friends around to make jokes and entertain eachother. I bloody hate it when people come up with this excuse "oh play it with a friend, it gets fun". This doesn't make the game good or fun. It means your friend is good and fun to hang around with. The game remains as boring and shity as it was when your friend was at his house jerking off.martyrdrebel27 said:i guess there's something wrong with me then, because i've been loving the division. the gunplay and combat in general is some of the most intense, hectic fun i've had in a game in a while.
I would recommend finding someone to play with and never not playing with them though, this seems infinitely more fun when i'm at my friend's house "LAN" ing this game.
but that wasn't really the scenario. sitting there talking and playing, we sound more like the scripted bs from the e3 presentations. we actually talk about flanking and position and all that haha. it really is the gunplay i like. i play it alone as well, frequently, and i still love the gunplay, but it's better with a friend, as all things designed specifically for multiplayer are.XDSkyFreak said:Let propose this possiblity to you: the game is shit stupid boring, it's your friend beeing there and cracking jokes that makes the scenario exiting and fun.
