I haven't even gotten the game yet, the bullet sponge issues being the root cause of it. Destiny seemed exciting, seemed interesting (plot wise it is), and the trailers and beta were excellent. The Division though, didn't create any hype in me nor did the bullet spongyness of enemies make me want to buy it. Bosses is one thing (looking at your Sepkis Prime); trash mobs shouldn't be.
Aso the review itself, I found it to be honest and fair. Honestly, all of his reviews are fair and honest.

[quote]Destiny seemed exciting, seemed interesting (plot wise it is)[/quote] Wait what? We have a plot?

Sure the original was lacking, but the lore behind the game is rich and detailed. Hive lore, for example, is a tragic story.

Plot wise....wait there is a plot?

if you are properly geared, enemies aren't any more spongey than destiny. The biggest problem being getting geared for challenge mode missions, because the enemies are level 32 and actually I'm not sure if you can even get ilvl 32 gear, I know you can get 31 at least. I'm running a DPS build but my sniper is undergeared, and it still 3-4 headshots enemies depending on crits and such.
-
I'm at the point where I can deal a million crit with buffs ( pulse smart cover and DPS signature ) yet it still takes around 5 shots to take down a generic mob.
-
I'm doin 390k crits and killing lvl 30 elites with 1 shot. You must be doing something wrong.

Edited by OJ191: 3/20/2016 11:42:36 AMno, no you aren't. The weaker HP enemies (just rushers and snipers I think?) I 2-3 shot kill (I can't remember if it's 2 or 3 and I only just played earlier today... SMH) with my pulse+smart cover ~450k headshot crits. Stronger HP enemies are 3-5 depending on which specific enemy. Actually may be less than 5, I havn't really payed attention and some (many even?) of the shots may have been non-crit despite pulse. Obviously heavies and bosses take more, being what they are. If you were really doing 1mil crits then on challenging you would probably be one shot killing the rushers, or close to, and 2-3 MAX for the regular enemies, and some more for the super-tanks like heavies and bosses. And that's on challenging (and DZ06). Everything else that is actually at my level (and to a lesser extent the 31s in DZ05) gets absolutely destroyed and isn't spongey at all. This is with gear that isn't minmaxed, an SMG that isn't at all min-maxed yet still one-mag-kills shotgun rushers with buffs and good aim, and the above-mentioned sniper which is a mediocre roll ilvl30 purple. If you really want I can record some gameplay next time I play challenging later this week (doubt I will have time the next few days, long work days and language night classes and stuff). But they really are not that spongey at all on a DPS build at-level with proper gear and decent rolls. Easily on par with destiny's sponginess IMO.

People that say the trash mobs in the division are bullet sponges are running the wrong gear. If you go for a heavy dps character you can wipe out multiple enemies with one clip. Rent the game before buying if anything. Joe gives out very low scores to games that he shouldn't have.

"I'm mad because AJ shits on my favorite games with blunt insight."
-
And that means what exactly?
-
It means that whether or not the games he reviewed had bad scores, it's his opinion, not yours, and you shouldn't be miffed over it.
-
I'm not "miffed" over it, but he gives good games a bad score a lot lately. I'm allowed to have my own opinion too, without you being "miffed" over my opinion.

I was ridiculing you, actually, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
-
Ridiculing me with that retarded quote that I didn't understand? Lol at least you tried. Do you want a participation trophy?

This nerd really copy and pasted a definition lmfao you desticle trolls are hilarious.
-
What's hilarious is that you were stupid enough to take the bait.
-
What bait? You're one of the stupidest trolls I've encountered here lmao please go on and continue to embarrass yourself.
-
The fact that you continue to humor me is evidence enough that you're an even bigger idiot than I had originally thought.
-
The fact that you're trying to troll and failed says enough about your stupidity lmfao
-
Still coming back for more, I see! You know, there's a significant amount of other things that you could do that are more worthwhile than trying to assert yourself to some faceless user on the Internet. You know that, right? Right?

You forgot a space! Looks more broken than it was before to me.

You got the point though.

I dunno, you might have to run it by me again. I'm having a tough time comprehending what you're getting at.
