As said earlier – keep pouring sugar over sh*t 😉
It wont make this ugly turd any better looking!
Stupid comment alert, the patch mainly addresses game play issues and bugs but keep on sh*tting on the game, it clearly makes you feel better. You are well on your way to becoming a sociopath.
Overused terms alert.
Well, let’s look at his comment history on his way to becoming a sociopath and let it speak for itself.
“Here comes Ubi pr RE**RD again!
Again and again you prove my point = STOOPID MUT*A F***R!!”
“bla bla bla again F*CKN LOOSER!”
“He is one STOOPID F*CKR!!”
“best to ignore that fame UBI fanboy seeking WH**”
“As you said these guys must be RETARED as F*CK!”
“My comp is probably better then your’s fa**ot”
“GTFO RE**RD!”
“Well then you OBVIOUSLY are blind or talking out of your as*”
He’s obnoxious, but not a sociopath.
Didn’t say he actually was.
But he will be, right?
“You are well on your way to becoming a sociopath.”
Because obnoxious behavior means becoming a sociopath.
Well, it can spiral into something more, like some extreme action,so yes he could be on his way.
No, he couldn’t. He’s simply a child attempting to turn alpha over the anonymous web. If it was in person he more than likely would not lash out due to the lack of confidence. This is much like the children who commit acts of swatting while talking loads of trash then once they’re handed their sentence they sob like children. If he’s turning into a sociopath, then sociopathy has really lost its meaning and its become hilarious.
Keep the pr crap coming. You are sad
Says you who just came in here to say that, thanks for the useless reply, but you know you simple minded social thugs do what you do.
you are crazy
this game wasn’t dead like in 2008 or something ?
they are releasing a patch now? …..
what the game is 2 weeks old.
graphics of the game says something else!
gee i sure wish i could see the world through your eyes, this game is one of the best looking games out there
“this game is one of the best looking games out there”
and gta vice city its the best strategy game out there
Mental age of 11, R* logo as avatar, I think you can guess the rest. I mean we all know R* are the shining light for PC gaming, LOL.
says the kid that plays the ultra mature game “The Division” with a doggy at his avatar lol
Didn’t expect a good come back from you having a mental age of 11 and didn’t get one, just got something childish and made no sense as expected.
Just to educate you, my avatar is The Gimp logo, a free open source image editor that I use and endorse.
GTA V destroys The Division in every aspect fun,graphics and lifespan !
and not to mention sales(GTA V its still on TOP 10 ) good reviews on Steam ,fun with friends in private online mode etc etc
and “childish” what are you are 10 ? or you just been brainwashed by Ubisoft?
but i guess there its no point to argue with you since you are around my nephew age he plays the divison too and he is in 3rd grade lol
Well done for proving my point, immature argument confirmed.
You are comparing two different genres. You compare Starcraft to Fallout 4 also?
LOL, yeah I told you the dudes a frikking RE**RD 😉
Yes, siding with stupid there, you are both a perfect match, double the stupidity and immaturity.
Why dont you go kiss and make up with the other UBI Pr W**RE Mr Wra(I)th
He is one STOOPID F*CKR!!
Yes it is the first game that I have played in a long time that has stopped me from playing just to look at the environments. The lighting and shadows in this game are jaw dropping at times.
I have tried the game maxed out at 4k and 1440p. Even with 2 980ti 4k is around the 50 fps mark which is unplayable for me so i have settled on 1440p @ 60hz with the game maxed on every setting and it is stunning.
I think a lot of these guys must be playing at 1080p and low settings.
LOL!
Yeah bro, atleast one more who dont have sh*t for brains here!
The game looks like crap but those fanboys are obviously blind. Thats why they are called fanboy I guess 😉
Well let those retards keep this ugly turd!
Great argument bro, keep the insults coming. Hope you’ll be banned for sh*tting on every The Division article and insulting anyone who likes it.
Please stop stealing my choice of words please. Sh*tforbrains is mine! #CrocodileDundee
Here comes Ubi pr RE**RD again!
Again and again you prove my point = STOOPID MUT*A F***R!!
Got to love your immature personal attacks, I mean you just love coming into The Division articles and sh*tting on everyone who likes it in some way. I think you are pretty low on the IQ scale to do what you do or some form of mental illness.
Says the LOOSER that crap all over everyone that thinks defferent then him!
Denial is a bliss you F*CKR!
Not sure where you get “everyone” from, I know exactly who is crapping over me because they don’t like the game or my view, in fact you, Silviu, JoNaXKaY are pretty much the main people that are sh*tting on the articles with your childish comments and you started with the first comment sh*tting on this article. It seems facts hurt your feelings, many reviewers also have the same view as me.
Blows Star Citizen centuries out of the water.
Don’t say that, you’ll be called a fanboy and all sorts of names by the social thugs here.
I was being sarcastic lol.
It would be unfair to call a PC exclusive, tailored for the platform to be visually weaker in every way to a AAA console multiplat port, despite what is seen.
Weird thing, but Star Citizen didn’t really impress me in terms of graphics. Maybe because environment is really empty there.
Well SC isn’t even complete and we’ve been shown more on the ships and a few planets along with the darkness that is space (which is always going to be empty because space is vast and infinite), the Division is set in one city with set details that have to work on current gen systems first and foremost.
Yeah, Star Citizen is on the cutting edge in terms of audiovisuals. I just didn’t really see it on my PC as opposed to some vids on YT :P.
Ha! Don’t know how they even took you for a fanboy. You just criticized their mindless scolding.
I once was taken for a fanboy, too. Someone said hatefully that R6:Siege was a simplified console crap and I argued that it wasn’t simpler than other R6 games because of consoles, but only because its genre was different from older R6 titles.
Ah, and I liked the beta. You can’t do this because you instantly become a Ubisoft shill and fanboy.
The game might be one of the best looking Open World / cover based shooter you can play with friends. However the AI can be dumb as F’k at times. Other then that I am enjoying it. I hope this patch addresses the micro stuttering that happens in SLI. But I see nothing on it.
I would of liked to see a open trading system between players or at least people in your group / friends to keep random people from bugging to trade with you.
lvl 22 now. I just don’t have a lot of time to play it’s been rough seeing all my friends lvl 30 when I was only lvl 10…
But no snowdrops :(.
Farewell Bullet King 🙁
lol damn its been good weeks for me
Patch downloading now oh oh oh…
Bro, hat off! Awesome screenshots. You should make a gallery on Flickr as I did 🙂
Thanks, yeah I could upload to google photos.
Flickr is better bro, google is overrated! 🙂
Nice find!
There is quite a lot in Madison square garden, the light is bouncing on the cars, on to objects at night and you don’t see the colour during the day, that’s dynamic global illumination.
