The lag during the zombie match was unbearable. I spent half the time either disconnected, or staring at a "network lag detected" message. What a shame.
@laxbro19: I love it. There's a lot of Dan hate in this comment chain, but this kind of interaction between Dan and the others is exactly what I was looking forward to ever since it was announced he was coming to the east coast.
I have over 190 hours played in the division and the only cutscenes I've watched are the ones you can't skip, like the opening movie that's secretly a loading screen. I don't know why I'm shooting anyone and I don't care. It might be because I always play with friends and never like it when control is taken from me, or maybe I'm just conditioned to assume all video game stories are bad and not worth watching. But now that I think about it, it sure does seem like we're gunning down people in the street just for looting.
I'm 32 hours into XCOM 2 and while I agree with Dan's review word for word, I don't think readers should be too put off by the 3 star rating. If you played Enemy Unknown and could put up with the bugs then, you won't be too surprised by them now. Much like Fallout 4, it's disappointing that the developers didn't address the issues with the last game, but it's still a good time overall.
