The Division Needs Compelling Side Quests To Succeed

However, there is one aspect of the game I’m worried about: the side quests. In my experience, Ubisoft hasn’t been the most reliable when it comes to quality side-quest storytelling, and for me, that’s where a lot of the magic in RPGs can be found. It’s partly why I enjoyed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt so much. That game had immersive, compelling side quests that were just as interesting and engaging as the main story....

The Division Time Lapse Video Shows Dynamic Weather Engine

The result is a truly breathtaking setting, and one fan with the internet pseudonym of Wolfboy decided to create a timelapse video to emphasize the beauty of the city for those who actually stop to take it all in. The video also reminds players what first caught gamers’ eyes with The Division: the graphics. It’s a pretty gorgeous view for a nondescript street, and now that we’ve really soaked it all in we can’t wait to explore more of the city that wasn’t available in the beta - though making a time-lapse in the darkzone might prove somewhat difficult....

The Dream Turns To Nightmare

IT WAS AN ORDINARY GREEN KNAPSACK, LYING ON the ground at a rock concert. At almost any other time or place in America, anyone who saw it would probably think: gee, what kind of stupid kid leaves his pack lying around like that? But not in Atlanta last week, and perhaps not anywhere else in America for some time to come. When Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Tom Davis spotted it in Centennial Olympic Park at around 1 a....

The Dueling Nightmares

Well, perhaps not the three antic candidates. Dennis Kucinich, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton are having the kind of fun that comes to those who, never having expected to win, have nothing to lose and perhaps lecture fees to gain. And perhaps Wesley Clark, the incredibly shrinking candidate, is happy, even though in just seven weeks he has gone from being on the cover of NEWSWEEK to dropping out of Iowa and perhaps New Hampshire as well, where he has fallen to 4 percent....

The Elite And How To Avoid It

If this were the election of 1789, the cultural elite would be easy to spot. They’d be the folks who had gathered in Philadelphia earlier to produce a federal constitution. But according to the vice president, today’s cultural elite is to be found in “newsrooms, sitcom studios and faculty lounges across America.” From their privileged platforms, he warns, they spew laughter and scorn on those who uphold “our country’s enduring, basic moral values....

The Euro Strikes Back

Is this the beginning of a steady rise, or just another blip on the currency charts? American tourists, who’ve grown accustomed to lugging home suitcases full of bargain-priced Prada and Louis Vuitton, hope it’s the latter. And in some cases, European politicians, who’ve found that a weak euro encourages rapid export growth and discourages import competition, are siding with the tourists. But as Jan. 1 approaches, financiers know the Germans won’t be happy about trading their historically strong Deutsche mark for a sissy currency....

Social workers are clinicians, but also researchers, advocates, program developers, innovators, case managers, business leaders, academics and even tech developers working with social media companies. “Trained social workers are in every area of our community, leading, lending a hand, uplifting us in ways that are often hidden in plain sight,” she says....

The Evil Within 2 Trophy List Leaks

The Evil Within 2 will have a grand total of 52 trophies to unlock (1 Platinum, 1 Gold, 14 Silver, and 36 Bronze). Should a player take the time to discover every trophy in the game, they will be earning a significant 1230 points for their collection, but some of the trophy descriptions suggest that this won’t be easily accomplished even for the more experienced of players. Of course there are traditional achievements that have made the cut, such as completing the game on various difficulty levels, upgrading weapons, and obtaining collectables, but The Evil Within 2’s trophy list also holds some very intriguing sounding challenges for players to complete....
