lol im shocked.
lets wait for some more reviews first.

this numbers are way better than expected so far...

Yea pretty good but of course we are only 7 reviews in. I imagine high 80s for a settling point but I could be wrong.

Steamspy has PC sales at 366,000 as of March 9th btw so it looks to be a commercial success too

Its Ubisofts fastest selling game in 24 hours, ever. It also shares that distinction for fastest selling digital title ever as well (for Ubisoft).

 

I'm happy to see this thread, as I just picked up the game on my way home from work earlier.

It sold more than Watch Dogs, so more than 4 million.

It just dropped to 91 already

Yep thanks to an 83. We're so early on that even good scores like that can move it 2 points.

i thought this would rate higher than destiny, but only low to mid 80s

90+ is incredible these days..
i personally expect 85-90 now

User scores are shit to go by.



90+ in an eighth gen world? Wow.

Reading some reviews I have just gone from completely disinterested to thinking I will pick this up tomorrow.

Any word on the best version?

Yeah I was surprised too so I decided to see what it was like for myself. I am four hours in and quite liking it.

To be very straightforward: It's what you would expect from a good third person cover shooter with RPG elements. As for the fact that you are always online, I think it puts Destiny to shame because of how seamless it seems in comparison. Destiny is almost the perfect game to compare it too, and The Division seems to trump it in the majority of aspects. If you have any questions about the game feel free to ask me!

The best version technically? I'm not too sure honestly as I have only had my hands on the PS4 version

Get it on PC but then again this is coming from a guy who's pro-PC ...



I might as well post my first impressions of the game (after 4 hours of playtime). I haven't tried andyPvP yet; just PvE:

-It starts off very slow, but once you leave the starting area and arrive in the main area it starts to get more interesting. The story won't win any awards for sure but that is not a big issue.

-The  abundance of abandoned cars are seemingly there more for the cover system than anything haha. Seriously though this game very heavily relies on the cover shooting mechanic, and since theortetically you could run into enemy AI in almost every place outside safe areas, there are cars everywhere. Makes sense though since this is Manhattan. The cover mechanic seems ok once you get used to the controls, and the shooting/perks etc are all up to par IMO.

-I quite liked some of the environments I got into on my early missions. I won't spoil anything but it was a good mash of NYC and Pandemic

-The game seemed to perform quite well. You can tell there was a downgrade but the graphics are still nice to look at and the framerate did not suffer. The lighting and weather systems are well done. Almost everything is done very seamlessly which was a pleasant surprise for anyone who played Destiny. There is no need to go to Orbit all the time just to load different maps and missions etc. In the open world you can jump from mission to mission, PvE to PvP with minimal loading screens. You can join somebody's team (either a random or a friend, up to 4 people in Co-op) and play with them for hours upon end - sharing everything but the cutscenes. Seriously, the implementation of Co-op in this instance puts Destiny to shame.

-One thing I should point out is that the enemies can be bullet sponges. I discovered this first hand on bad connection and hard difficulty lol. I did lag out a few times but it did not happen enough to be immersion-breaking.

That's all I can think of right now but I am quite enjoying myself.
