Is the solo (story) play suppose to be any good, or is all the fun in online play?
View Quote


You can pretty much do most of the game solo if you wish, but it's much more fun with other people, and missions are definitely easier with other people as well.

With the easy and quick automatic matchmaking system built in-game, there's really no point in going solo unless you want a challenge.

The main story missions have an optional matchmaking feature that will quickly pair you with other people of a similar level.

Cool,  wasn't aware of that.

So it's essentially playing the campaign,  but in a cooperative mode?  If one chooses,  i assume they could select a friend or 3 and play cooperatively only with folks they know?

I hope that is the case. Should be awesome.  But in this mode i assume you're playing computer controlled AI enemies?


Eta,  i prefer single player games and don't play online a ton.  Part of the reason is that i can only get 3 Meg Internet here.  Will that be a massive problem?  Especially when/if I'm playing cooperatively with a buddy who may be at 30 Meg?

I haven't ordered it yet.  I was going to wait to read some of the reviews once it went live.





I've felt burned lately by a few games, the latest of which was Star Wars Battlefront.

This is sooooooo much better than battlefront. I already got more for my money with the division, and I just made it to the base of operations before I had to come to work.

Okay, I trust people on here more than I would some general review on a game website anyway.  I'll have to download a copy from Amazon.  Between the silver thread in team, the vickers deal on the slings last month, and now this, I'm going to have to take a self assessed time-out.  This place is expensive.

I purchased the digital file.  The whole thing was 13.67G.  It took a little under an hour to download/install.




I will never regret replacing the stock HD with a 1TB drive prior to The Taken King.

In case there are others who might be interested.




Here is a video link on replacing the drive..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd_nESKuswk




He mentions a different drive than what I used in that video, his might be better I don't know.  I used the following drive...(mis-spoke earlier I actually used a 2TB drive).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I8O6OQ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00




It is a Samsung Seagate 2TB laptop SATA III drive.  There are faster drives available but the difference was minuscule when I bought mine.  That was last year so who knows, the differences now may be more significant.




Hope this helps.

To add, skill power is extremely important with the ballistic shield. Without high skill power, the shield doesn't last very long nor can you use it as much.

I'm purposely passing up DPS/firearms gear, and stacking up on stamina and skill power.

I need to actually make a game plan with that stuff. The closest thing to an RPG i have played was Destiny, and that wasn't nearly as deep.I have been reconstructing basically everything as I get high level stuff with out regard to attributes

I only had time to put about 2 hours into it, late last night.  

There's a LOT to absorb, and is a little intimidating,  but i was very impressed.  Thought it was excellent,  and when a buddy of mine got on and we played cooperatively it was even more fun.

I'm digging it.
