The only thing with the dark zone is that that's where you get the best gear.

I have it installing now.... man, that's one hefty download!

Made my first extraction out of the dark zone. It sucks that most crates that you can loot require a dark zone rank of 30.

I'll try to get my DZ rank up this weekend, the gear there is definitely better.

Got it installed and played through the first 3 missions last night. So far, I kinda like it.

It's addicting! I'm even contemplating the season pass with this one.

So far in two season Manziel has gotten hurt in game 2 (out 8 games) and now game 1.(out 4 games)

I knew I should of drafted a QB.

So here's me in-depth description of The Division. This is based on the PS4.

The game was well thought out and put together. There's so much customization from weapons, the character's appearance, these abilities/skills which each have other mods that you can unlock and change and it continues. The game play is what you'd expect from a Tom Clancy game.

The graphics are pretty good. They do a great job demonstrating a New York that just got hit with a super bug. You can walk up on enemies beating innocent people with bats, looted out stores that you can go in, streets with signs of mayhem and carnage and so forth.

The Dark Zone: basically, you gotta have someone to be in there unless you go to where the level is low. Plus if you go alone, you're at risk of someone attacking you and stealing your stuff. I've actually yet to be attacked, but the enemies are too powerful where the really good stuff is to take on yourself, and each time you die and respawn - you rank down. It sucks that you have to rank Dark Zone rank 30 to buy anything from those vendors but eh.

The crafting seems a bit pointless. Everything you get blueprints for aren't generally worth crafting.

All and all, I've already bought the season pass. This game is by far one of the most entertaining games I've played in quite some time. Well done Ubisoft.

Just kinda getting more info about ps4 games, has anyone played the newish metal gear (phantom pain) and what do you think about it?

It was my first Metal Gear game, but I stopped playing it. Not my type of game. In order to get good mission grades, you have to spend tons of time being stealth and avoiding conflict. I like blowing crap up and engaging in non stealth activities lol.

If you're into the Splinter Cell, stealth crawl around game, then it's awesome. Very well put together. You just gotta be into that type.

I'm loving the Division so far.

Forgive if you've specified before, but what platform your playing it on? Pc, Playstation, Xbox?

Maybe we could get a Dawgtalker group together haha. I know there's one other Dawg here that plays!

Xbox One, my gamertag is MTC Gorillax

Ahh, Playstation here =(

Be cool to have a Dawgtalker hit squad in that game lmfao. If anyone on the ps4, feel free to msg me your psn name and I'll add ya!

Thanks for the input.

If you can, find a way to play Metal Gear Solid, from the PSX days. It's a top 5-10 game all time. One of the most amazing stories you'll ever take part in for a video game..

There is stealth involved but it's not that bothersome.

I've actually received pretty good news today regarding my car situation so this ps4 business may be happening sooner!

I have been thinking of getting this game. What past game is it like

right now I am into Battlefront big time.

I've heard comparison been made to Destiny. That might be the closest match.

I'm SirDiesAlot on XB1. I'll add you, but I'm still trying my hardest to rank up (outside the DZ).

I don't play a ton these days with work being what it is and my wedding coming up. I am looking forward to hopping into the DZ more.

The Division/Ubisoft has already released a free download which added a new mission on my map, hell yeah!

Finally ordered my console, after talking with someone who's pretty schooled on the console. He thinks these latest CUH-12xx series ps4's should be it for any major changes. He thinks anything down the line will be mostly cosmetic...

I went with the 500gb Black Ops bundle. I also purchased Dying Light (enhanced edition) and Mad Max. I also have tomorrow off because of the holiday weekend. Set that up perfectly haha. College hoops and ps4.

Picked up Mad Max and WWE2k16.

Ganna dig into Max later tonight.

Mad Max playing spree! Have fun you two.

let me know what you think of wwe2k16

Mad Maxx is mindless fun basically.

The fighting is a lot like the Batman series. Punch punch punch block punch punch punch.

Was excited they had a Mustang body for my car.

Slowly turned into "go here, do this, now go here, do this" so I took a break and plate Madden.

Will open up WWE Saturday night.

Mad Max is a lot of fun so far. The driving mechanics are nice.

The ps4 itself is a really nice console. The setup was really easy.

Kinda weird when I popped Mad Max in, it downloaded 400mb worth of updates but after that I was able to play right away, I thought all ps4 games must install? It even says like 38gb install on the back.

Xbox One here.

Most games I have install to about 30% then allow you to play while the rest finished.

Madden has the opening with you playing out PITT/ARI in SB50 to start out.

You can easily get lost creating your own superstar for hours in WWE.

Hence why I haven't started yet..

I'll be two hours deep and haven't even done anything yet

What do you think must install? You're playing off a disc right? What you downloaded could've been something not required to access the game or a critical update, so it could've been anything from glitch/bug fixes and etc.

Now, in order to play online - that'll force you to download and install the updates before playing the game from what I've seen. It'll warn/prompt you as such. You can elect to still play the game, minus usage of any online network features.

Enjoy your PS4 bro! Always glad to see another PS4 user!

I dont understand why I need to install the game and then also have to have the disc in.

To stop pirating/bootlegging, it doesn't stop it on PC. Unsure about consoles though.

I was under the impression that the entire game must be installed into the system..

Although I checked my settings and Mad Max is taking up some 33gb of my drive. So did it install while I played? As soon as my updates were downloaded and installed, I was pretty much a go to play the game.

Good question. 33GB sounds like a lot and every game could be different. It could be installing at each checkpoint you hit? I don't know, good question though.

Makes me curious lol. But you can play off your disc. You can download full games from the store, and you'd notice those file sizes to be far greater.

Started WWE2K16.

At about 20% it was "ready to play" however you could only do single matches with select people, so I waited..

Did some of the Steve Austin 2k Showcase, its really cool, and the way thwy meld actual video with game cut scenes is cool..

Spent about an hour making myself. Then ended up not liking it and starting over..

Having so much fun with mad max that I haven't even cracked open dying light or black ops 3..

It is fun and gets addicting. Some of it gets a little "repetitive" but it was a solid game - especially if you're a fan of the movie series! I beat all the side missions and etc. Even the very boring land mine detection you have to use the hunchback's car and dog to sniff out lol.

Catching up with the convoy and taking out the whole group is a lot of fun too. Reminds me of Fury Road a ton.

Even taking down the camps seems a bit unique with each one. Finding scrap is repetitive but the map is pretty fun.

Couple months in to my WWE/NXT career.

Started a rivalry with Tyler Breeze. I have yet to beat him.

When you start iut, your overall is 60, and everyone else is low 80s minimum.. I'm only up to 67 right now.

What I like is that its not ALL about winning matches. You have to have GOOD matches to get XP to spend. So just doing the same move over and over gets you nothing. Allowing them to strike so you can counter helps.

You understand how 2k getting on board helps when you do a backstage interview, and how you answer effects how you are perceived, very Myplayer like..

Also the chain wrestling mini game thing at the beginning of matches is cool.

I am disappointed with the small amount of wrestling masks and mask designs, however that may be because I haven't hooked it up to the internets yet. There is a lot of DLC I assume.

Overall its trending upward. As long as you dont mind losing to R Truth a couple times..

Invest HEAVILY in your counter skill in the beginning. It'll make your rise much more meteoric.

I've been working on stamina.

I've been at the end of matches where my guy literally can't even run.

I'm dealing with that, but I created a large Undertaker/Kane type superstar, so running isn't something my guy is really doing.
