Ammo regen is a weird one. On the one hand, it somewhat breaks the flow of combat where you're switching weapons depending on situation and strategically conserving ammo, since you can just spam whatever.

On the other hand, pretty fun.

I've been internally whining that I'm running out of ammo constantly and 12 hours in I see the fucking vending machine sells capacity upgrades. You know what, serves me right for not looking.

The world is cool, and it still holds up visually really well (I'm a sucker for cell shading), but the gunplay is shockingly bad. It's like if those wacky physics-based platformers like Human Fall Flat had an FPS mode.

The excuse that the endgame difficulty makes the game fun is lame when applied to World of Warcraft and lame here too. I shouldn't have to spend 20 hours of nothingness for the game to actually get good.

The silver lining being the lore of The Division 2 is so boring it doesn't matter if its being cut short.

It's a really jarring change coming straight from the first game where phone calls sounded like crunchy phone calls with gritty delivery. Just bland "speaking into the mic" for the second game.

With Bluesky having no monetisation avenues (other than selling the account to some schmuck I guess), I have to assume this is just oldschool clout chasing. Very sad.

I picked up some intel thing and went into my progression tab to check it out and there's shitloads of stuff audio messages and the like, no idea where they came from. They're also just nowhere near as well written or performed as the recordings and briefings in the first game.

The main problem is just not knowing what I'm meant to be doing. Some games I'll grab loads of gear, kill some other raiders, and extract, but like, for what reason?

I imagine (and hope) the full game with all the systems unlocked will actually give you a reason.

It makes me think of Harambe. Outside of the fact the memes which arose out of that were deeply cringe, it was evidence people really couldn't care less about the situation itself, it was just a launchpad for jokes.

You've played it?

I also think it maybe has something to do with intent, and having poor focus, the intentional act of getting out a physical signals "reading time" and not "fuck around on the iPad time".

Probably the same reason I actually play more games on the Steam Deck Vs on my desktop where I can waste time.
