@m76 Actually, there has been. Merging threads.

Well, the title says it all. The original Division is free to install and keep through UPlay for next few days. I'm not sure what worth this game will have because it's been out for so long, but it's free. Anyway, here you go.

I'm surprised there is no topic for this game yet. As the entire internet was up in buzz about it for a few weeks. If you somehow missed it, here is the trailer: I have to say I'm not as impressed as others about this. I seems like a generic take on hack and slash genre, and I'm not familiar with the myth it's based on so it can't earn points for that. What really bugged me about the trailer is that if the character can turn into a bug at will, then why would you ever want to fight anyone? You could just fly past every encounter. Also as someone familiar with software development I can't help but notice that there isn't much going on in this trailer. It seems to me that this is a tech demo, not a fleshed out game yet, What do you think, does it deserve all the hype it gets?

Violence for it's own sake is not appealing at all. What's appealing to me in games is the narrative, and the overcoming of evil. Violence is just a means to get there, not the end itself. What I find curious is that people often confuse violence with gore. And age ratings go the same way. Like it's the gore that is the problem and not the violence itself. I think killing is killing, whether the game shows blood and gore or not. Actually I Think the downplaying and removal of gore is more dangerous, as it trivializes the consequences of violence. A gory game might shock a kid, which is good, violence should be shocking. On the other hand games that removes gore and makes your kills evaporate are normalizing violence. Killing should be depicted in games with the full gory consequences, or not at all.

How I feel is if it's good it's good regardless if it's violent or not, has to have a compelling story.

The best sunset or sunrise can be found in Horizon Zero Dawn, you can literally tell when the first or last rays of sun are touching the grass and the environment overall and this is a on a PS4 slim that I'm using as reference.
