Or equipment being "contaminated" and needing to be airlifted out is realistic? lol
that part might actually be the most realistic part...looking forward to the next beta, I mean full release

Or equipment being "contaminated" and needing to be airlifted out is realistic? lol
Honestly I thought the whole game needs massive improvement. The control mechanics and gun-play aren't bad for a 3rd person, but the world is lifeless and boring. Reminds me of those 90KM DayZ maps with nothing on them. Taking away the zombies makes it even worse. Couldn't they have left in desperate, infected civilians trying to steal your food, water, meds? I think you should have to avoid them, fight them off, possibly even shoot them to preserve your equipment in an effort to save the majority. There's virtually no danger except for small isolated pockets, not really any roving danger to catch you off guard, and the Dark Zone was extremely meh. Playing 50 hours to get weapons that have fractions of a stat difference is the same reason I hate pretty much all MMOs.
There's not even much reason to rob anybody since 90% of the time they have crap in their pouches anyway. They should color code the little quarantine bag by rarity of what's inside so you know if someone has an orange you should be more motivated to go rogue on them.
Oh I'm sure they'll sell a lot of copies. I'm not talking about a bomb from a money standpoint, I'm talking about from a user satisfaction standpoint. It'll get slaughtered by the users once they play it and see it's as empty on release as it was during the test.
You think a gun that shoots "healing power" is realistic? Or someone taking 30 bullets to the face is realistic? Or equipment being "contaminated" and needing to be airlifted out is realistic? lol
They could have just as easily put crazy sick people running around trying to tackle you and take your stuff. Equivalent to zombies, without the zombies.
Because Raven Shield was chock full of area effect healing spells? Clearly you haven't played many Tom Clancy games if you don't notice the difference in universe realism after UBI bought the rights to put his name on everything.I was obviously talking about realistic themes, not "ultra simulation realism." I'm sure you could also pick apart every single previous Tom Clancy game on those terms.
Anyway, if you don't like these aspects I don't give a f*** I was just pointing out that it was never advertised as such.

I know when dealing with a contaminated item that has a virus on it, the best thing you can do is latch it to a helicopter and fly it over the city!
I understand the game mechanic of that, but I found that incredibly silly on a logical level. The last thing you want to do is attach a viral agent to the bottom a helicopter that is pushing air down over that object as you fly across areas that aren't as contaminated. If the virus is deadly enough to survive on items for a period of time, it's likely capable of being made airborne in this extraction process. It's why asbestos items are sealed within the room, before going to to a sealed containment vessel.
"Oh is this Anthrax in my mail? I better turn on the air conditioner!"

I just play it and have fun not sit and think and nit pick every little game style decision. I imagine I could do that with every game I've ever played.

This tends to be what happens when someone opens the Pandora's Box of "you can't do that, because realism!" argument about a game that is already unrealistic. lol The discussion was supposed to be about how the world could be more populated, dangerous, and exciting.I just play it and have fun not sit and think and nit pick every little game style decision.

That's exactly what everyone said about Destiny after it's beta. "OH that's not how the full game will be, this is just a small "slice" of the game, the full game will be so much more content and variety....
Then we got release and it was literally more of the same.
These games try to give off an "mmo" vibe but they don't understand how much content people expect from those types of games, hell I'd be happy with a good single-player rpg amount of content, most can't even get close to that, it's more in line with CoD style content, quick 10'ish hours campaign and then it's all re-doing maps over and over again.
I had wrote this game off as garbage, wanted nothing to do with it. Swore I would never pre-order a game years ago least one from Ubisoft. Then I got bored on Sunday, downloaded the open beta, had a friggin blast and promptly pre-orderd the game. And now I am sitting here trying to kill time until it's release. This turned out to be the rpg type of game I wanted for years after getting tired of swords and magic missiles.
Most game threads on this forum turn into a Reddit style dissection of every single detail of a game. Too many cynical old grumpy gamers on here...just play your damn games and have fun! Don't overthink it. There has not been a single thread on here where people have not shit-posted a game....
*snip* Normally, if you don't like a game you fucking move on...
Highlighted for importance. I feel the same way. In fact the reason why most MMOs and RPGs aren't for me is precisely centered around the fact that it's all sword and sorcery bullshit that I'm just not into.
I'm not really that impressed with Snow Drop so far...CryEngine and Frostbite look a lot better to me.
There's been some recent videos of the detail the developers have put into the world. Like rats fighting crows for food (lol) and dogs pissing/pooping all over the place.
I see this too much. I even made a post on Reddit about it. Gamers nowadays are entitled spoiled brats. Non-stop shit-talking about little game details, and graphical downgrades, and bullshit cup-is-half-empty talk. It's nonsense. People just can't seem to just enjoy a thing for what it is. People talking about how they would change this and that detail about the game, and all the while I am hoping that developers don't listen to this loud and vocal minority. Normally, if you don't like a game you fucking move on... but nowadays everybody wants it changed to their liking. It's ridiculous and is proof-positive as to why developers take less risks nowadays b/c everybody bitches about something, they change it, and then bitch b/c it's changed too much or the people that liked it the way that it was chime back in and complain as to why the fuck it was changed.
It's depressing and frustrating to read. Gaming to me is a way to relax and get lost in the game world. The level/critique some people take it to is just ridiculous at times.

I agree with you but I don't think this is a new phenomenon. I've been participating in game forums since the 90's and this has always been an issue. I will say it's much more pronounced in the last 5ish years (maybe younger people getting online?). I think some of it is the fact that there is a subset of the hardcore gamer crowd that has antisocial tendencies and a generally negative outlook on life. Yeah I know, the stereotype basement dweller gamer meme, but there's some truth to it.

Good news! Ubi has confirmed that the best gear in the game is from crafting and not from looting or purchasing from vendors.
As well, PVE will have as good of weapons as in the DZ.
Where are you getting updated info at? Just curious where I can read up more.
Sorry about that.
The Division: Final Build Changes Look Promising
"In light of these changes, it’s great to know that the purple items given to Dark Zone (DZ) vendors were just for testing purposes. It is also awesome to find out that DZs are not the only way of acquiring the best gear. Ubisoft clarified that similar gear is also obtainable through Player vs. Environment (PvE).
The best gear in the game is available through crafting. "
