Same here. I didnt want to try the end game. To me it would ruin the experience. But I do like the build up of settlements to unlock things. It's a nice improvement.
I actually saw a decent FPS gain on SLI too. 40fps at times which really caught me off guard. Drawback is stability is terrible. Could almost guarantee it would crash within 30mins of gameplay.
Preordered it too which is something I never do.. but for someone who cant give up on Div1 I suppose its a worthy exception. My only gripe which I enjoyed from the first was the story. It had a cinematic concept (done before i know) but in the sequel it just drops you into the chaos. For someone not having played the first, they might be left confused. I know its private beta, but a little continuation would have been nice.
either way, it seemed from early beta to this one.. they have improved alot. I still hate with disgust, their awful backdrop design on the menu though. Its so distracting.
The sniper turret.. oh wow I loved it
