This is about what I figured it would be scored here based on some of the prior discussions.

I feel as though Fobwashed will ensure that this birthday thing continues to live on forever.

Great list, Felix! (And Happy Birthday!)

I've had the discount code pinned in Inbox since March/April just waiting for the 2016 member's shirt to arrive. I pre-ordered that shirt so hard. It looks great!

No mention of an end game? What do you do when you reach the cap and finish the story? Are there strikes and/or raids? The problem I got with these games is that I need something to work towards, just collecting and seeing numbers go up doesn't do it for me. From what I have gathered the end game is just collecting better gear in the darkzone, but to what end?

The End Game as of now is replaying previous missions on an extra hard difficulty setting and scouring the dark zone. Raids (called 'Incursions' I believe) are on their way via a free update.

All of the official marketing surrounding Incursions have never once equated them to "raids." That's something a lot in the community kind of cooked up on their own. Incursions are going to be new end-game content but I wouldn't go into them expecting a "traditional MMO-like" raid experience, because neither Ubisoft nor Massive ever called them that themselves. I can see a lot of people potentially being upset with Ubisoft/Massive if Incursions aren't what they cooked up in their own minds as being.

@zips: Its a quick look though... you really want them to put hours into a game that they wouldn't play normally just for a video? The whole point is they are showing off some of the game and giving their honest reaction to it..

I never felt like a "Quick Look" style video for this or any MMO was ever a smart idea. I totally get that the idea behind a QL is that they go in at least semi-blind to give those totally "raw" first impressions and whatnot. That type of format works for games with simple mechanics and fewer systems than an MMO has (or even a strategy game as another example).

There have also been plenty of QLs offered up here where they at least did some in-depth playing ahead of time and those QLs are actually better for it. Those are informative while still offering up those "raw" non-review style thoughts. Plus, you said it yourself that it's not their normal type of game, which makes an even better argument for not doing a QL for it, at least not how it was done here.

why didn't their character save, jump into a game with a super good character creator and then it doesn't put it in game, this game is a pile of shit, unless they didn't do something right. funny how everyone is complaining about the quick look when the game has a shit ton of bugs.

Server issue. The creator offers a number of areas in which you can save a character locally in case something happens. The QL did a huge disservice to the game. At just an hour, there was simply no way in hell for them to actually do the game justice. It's not that "this game is a pile of shit."

My God, that cooking segment with Vinny was great!

And then Austin with the reaction video... oh man. So good (and I don't really like reaction videos), especially with the usual "like, comment, and subscribe" stuff at the end.
