I've heard the fps mechanics aren't great though?

How do you mean?
as in the fps gameplay mechanics aren't great? I've heard as an FPS it's quite average.
It's not an FPS though, so that's fair imo. It's definitely not a CoD/Battlefield, it's more like Uncharted 3/Mass Effect 3 in terms of the combat. It's over the shoulder and cover based. You can go to first person if you want but I've never used it, I think over the shoulder is much better.
oh right, I had no idea it was 3rd person. I've barely seen itthem good old third person fps' eh?

If you ever played Mass Effect 3, the combat is like that.
of course I've played ME i'm a nerd.
Looks ok, bit underwhelming for Ultra really.
Did you change it from 480p? It's really outside that the game shines. There's a sense of atmosphere with smoke and fog everywhere.
yeah to 240p.
Not even 120, you suck.
Played the beta for about 8 hours all in. And my thoughts are (based on ps4)
The game is essentially Destiny for me without the space element (I haven't played Mass effect but see it compared to that aswell). The graphics are slightly underwhelming considering the length of time ubisoft had on the game but the map is massive and plenty to go through
during the beta there has been a lack of AI in open world, I've found myself wondering the streets for half hr before getting into a gun fight with 2 or 3 AI
the guns r so underpowered it takes a couple of magazines to down an opponent that unis few levels higher.
I do like the customisation on weapons and character appearance and I do feel the full game will offer so much more.

Some more screenshots after I tweaked my graphics settings a little.
I don't think the guns are overpowered, you kill AI very quickly. Health is way too overpowered however. You've got people stacking their points into health and getting 6k health when a sniper bullet can do 2.5k on a headshot. That's all stuff I imagine/hope will be tweaked ether before release or after it as part of routine patching.
With regards to AI, I find quite a lot now. There was barely anything until I ran to a notice board past the gear vendors in the safehouse and looked at the noticeboard. This activated about 10 locations on my map to go visit for missions and there were AI all along the way and at each location. I don't know if that was always there or they recently added more to the beta. On top of that we know the majority of the map is hidden so I guess there's no way for us to know but hope there's more AI out there. I'm sure there will be. Scanning routinely will also reveal AI on the other side of buildings that you might not know about.
Not quite E3 good, but not far off.
Anybody who thinks the game looks bad needs to go to Specsavers.

Half an hour is a bit of an exaggeration. The developers said they disabled a bunch of the NPC spawns for the beta so that people would be more inclined to play in the Dark Zone which is where they want to test the strain on the servers. In final game there'll be more NPCs
I honestly was running round streets and nothing. But yeah I do think there will be so much more in the full game as this is only a beta. I will still get the game because I think there is alot of potential for it to be great and hope it can live up to it
When you put it on those terms then that's spot on graphics are good but slightly underwhelming compared to E3.
It's hardly the "huge downgrade" that lots of people are crying about, though. If the E3 demo had never been, then people would be saying how good the game looks.
The visuals in the game are far better than the majority of games I've seen and play.
It looks about the same as Watch_Dogs, and I am playing it on 4k. Performs the same as well (pretty poor, but it's beta).
played it Saturday night online with 2 of my brothers on Xbox One.
Teamed up, did a few missions etc.
Graphics - top notch
Game Play - could have done with a few more bad guys but I suppose it is Beta and I wasn't in the PVP area. It will be bonkers mad in there
theres still loads of dogs to shoot.
1 thing, I'd love to be able to climb free style rather than just on select objects. In an open world I don't like to be constrained in such a way

It's much better looking than Watchdogs. Those screenshots that I posted are 1080.
@Brocky you online on PC?
I am, but I'm not 'playing' at the moment. I'm working on something. Might be up for some DZ in an hour or so.
Cool, tag me when.
Go back and do the big missions like the Doctor one, you can redo them and change the difficulty setting when matchmaking for them. Hard mode that one has about 10 times more bad guys. (well at least on PC it does)
Darkzones are not as mad as you think, the ratio of bad guys to players in the DZ is far too low, dispite them being alot harder, and its not the biggest of areas in beta.
That was tense. 6/6 dark zone items, rogue at extraction, killed him and killed the AI there and then called in a new one. 5 guys showed up to extract their stuff and we had a tense stand off while the chopper came in.

Went back to the DZ, about a minute in some rogue up on a gantry opened up on me. I just got in cover and leaned out and 2 shot him with my new silenced M1A with 12x scope. Ran over, bashed him, took his shit and extracted it.EDIT: Fack, now I picked up a converted SMG-9 and extended mag from a DZ chest and there's 3 rogues guarding the extraction.
EDIT2: Took out the rogues, I got 2 and another guy killed another and I looted a military SCAR off one of them. Just as we were extracting they turned up again and we had an epic firefight which ended up in them dying. I'm about 5-0 at the moment in the DZ but been downed once. The M1A is a beast. Just looked at upgrading it for a classic M44 Carbine purple but looks like that can only take small optics.

Come on @Brocky I'm rekking here. Join in.
Looks like there will be an open beta 16th - 21st Feb. So for those who missed out on codes, will get a chance to play.
Hopefully they will give us some more things to do, or maybe a higher cap in the dark zone.

Will the progress carry over?
Hopefully, because i had some pretty sweet gear. Although i'm guessing it'll all be hard reset when the games launches anyway.
Doubt it. If there is an open beta they'll be wanting as many people starting from same point as possible to pinpoint any bugs and stuff
Made this. No idea why. I had never used video editing software before. Yeah, so this is my first video.
