They definitely overnerfed a variety of stuff; the bullet sponge problem has certainly resurfaced from Division 1. I'm personally seeing it on normal difficulty without having bought this expansion. I do plan on getting the expansion but I'm waiting for a sale, considering the huge sale Division 2 itself went on.
Vinny often delivers the best prepared and most informative QLs and for that, he has my greatest respect. I'd play this if it were on PC, but on PS4 so much of it seems to be about wrestling with the controls.
Think this is the longest I've seen Stranglehold played and in many ways it really is a big knock-off of Max Payne 1 and 2. Sleeping Dogs is a better Hong Kong-film inspired action game by many magnitudes.
I think if it wasn't for Dan I wouldn't have finally learned the plot of the MGS series. He and Drew doing Metal Gear Scanlon was a great way to experience the mainline series without playing it yourself. And his introduction of Mario Party produced some of GB's funniest moments. All the best to him in the future; may his uncannily good luck continue.
