I don't see this flopping. I don't think it'll be more successful than Switch 1, but every kid who loved switch 1 is now 8 years older. I think sales are going to be huge. I don't disagree about prices of games being a concerning precedent, but honestly with silver, gold, deluxe editions and every game having battle passes we are already in a market with games costing more than $60-70. And most of those are incomplete garbage. At least with Nintendo you can expect a quality product for the most part (pokemon not included).

He's probably looking forward to open world hangouts with friends. I'm looking forward to that also.

It's pretty good. Spongy enemies now have breakable armor which makes them make more sense. The first game also had technical limitations the devs admitted that made it so they could only have a certain number of enemies on screen at a time. This meant that to increase difficulty they had to make enemies spongier. This is not the case in this game. I haven't had to backtrack much so far but I'm early game.

I picked up Division 2 on sale recently and began playing it with a buddy of mine. He had never played the first one while I had. We're loving it. It really does feel like a proper 2.0 update instead of Division 1.5. I was convinced to buy it after seeing it on sale and watching SkillUps review. Having loved the first one despite my gripes about late game enemy sponginess, having to remove attachments before disassembly, and enemy variety, it was great to learn that all of these things have been addressed.

Message for everyone: This isn't ever a PlayStation game only thread even though we are in the PS community. It's just a place for people to chat about whatever games they are playing, on whatever platform they are playing them on. As a mod I often see people post about playing on steam deck or Xbox or Switch only for them to delete the post later as they realize they are in the PS community. No need to do that here! Just vibe out and have a great time!

ShadPS4 can now actually get in game in 3D environments, and while FPPS4 has been able to get in game in mostly 2D environments, the developer has been working on a significant code branch that has yet to merge to the main branch. It is expected to receive a large leap in capability once it does. We will now have 2 emulators in competition and competition drives innovation.
