    Year 1 Review. Had to go back and change my previous review.

    Pros: - Core gameplay and gunplay loop is very satisfiying - Great weapon/gear/skill builds variety (even off-meta builds are viable) - Huge map with tons of content - Beautiful, handcrafted environments that reward exploration - Some quality of life improvements (bigger stash/more crafting materials) Cons: -    Year 1 Review. Had to go back and change my previous review.

    Pros:
    - Core gameplay and gunplay loop is very satisfiying
    - Great weapon/gear/skill builds variety (even off-meta builds are viable)
    - Huge map with tons of content
    - Beautiful, handcrafted environments that reward exploration
    - Some quality of life improvements (bigger stash/more crafting materials)

    Cons:
    - Atmosphere was way better in Division 1 (winter ftw)
    - Many annoying bugs remain
    - Timegated skins with high prices
    - Balance still a bit of a mess
    - Grind is real
    - PVP and Darkzones is a big fat meh
    - Not enough End-game content
    - "THE" most forgettable story and characters on my memory

    So I can't complain too much, I got my value out of this game. It's still a solid 3rd-person looter-shooter and you can have a good time with PVE content. Community is still healthy and finding a group is not a problem. But recent decisions by developers are questionable at best.
    Upcoming expansion "Warlords of New-York" looks promising and will bring a lot of improvements that should've been in the game from day 1. We'll see if it will be any good.

    And, as always. Do NOT preorder. Do NOT buy loot boxes. Or you will get more and more unfinished games with egregious monetization.    … Expand

    Do you like running back to your corpse repeatedly?
    Do you like bullet sponge mobs that waste an entire clip of ammo?
    Do you like difficulty scaled for group encounters everywhere and you're playing solo because your friends didn't pick up the game?
    Do you like mobs spawning all around in you a cover based shooter?

    If your answer to any of these is no, then you should skip this game.

    Its like Division 1 on MAX and without marketing lies. Solid and interesting looter-shooter with good optimisation. And i liked OST a lot. Action music reminds me DOOM sometimes. 10-times better than Anthem.

    The game is an absolute blast. It's clear that the developers took everything they learned from the first game and crafted something that's highly engaging.
    There's an enormous amount of replayability and so much content. I had high expectations for this game and somehow it's even better than I'd imagined. Highly recommended for fans of looter shooters :).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game industry today is so bad we have come to expect products to release half broken, in fact, a half broken product is within the margin of error from most consumers point of view. I strongly believe this now especially after I've seen enough of what The Division 2 has to offer.

    It is highly praised for its endgame content, which starts after you hit level 30, which is in fact, just a replay for some of the main missions you have already completed but now with the added twist, gear restrictions and reskinned enemies that you have to progress through to be able to obtain items with higher "gear score" and increase your chances of survival in PVP. I know PVP is not for everybody but Ubisoft uses Dark Zone as a selling point yet it is severely unbalanced and unfair in normal AND normalized modes.

    The main story lacks substance and is easily forgettable, the levels are well designed and vary from one another but the enemy mechanics are all the same. Stay in cover or flank the player. The AI is constantly aware and tries to counter react against the player. The instant the player presses the button to equip the grenade, several enemies will get out of cover ready to shoot, the same happens when player leaves the cover, if the player is not moving for long enough, enemies will use grenades or attempt to flank to lure the player out. This is about as we get out of AI and that is okay. However in the open world, capturing control points or doing random activities will soon become a chore. You will find yourself completely vulnerable in the face of an ambush from a random enemy "patrol" while you're attempting to complete any of those. You are very squishy, the game encourages you to think your actions but quite often, around 2/4 times in my experience you will find out enemies can spawn right behind you and instantly killing you. This aspect of the game is not challenging nor fun, it's just a fake added difficulty that does more bad than good.

    The game fakes projectiles, it plays an effect of a projectile but the actual bullets are hitscan, I found myself trying to aim ahead of running enemies without any success of landing any shots, the only way to actually hit an enemy whether it is a player or an npc is to make sure you actually shot only after the crosshair has turned red, which usually happens only if you're aiming straight at the body, regardless of distance.

    DX12 performance is better than DX11, too bad it crashes the game every hour or so. It is however on DX11 by default so most players probably wouldn't notice.

    It is somewhat reminiscent of Defiance, it does many things right, but for every good aspect of the game there is also a bad one. It may get polished out in time but right now there are too many things that put me off. I've sinked 50 hours into the game and I'll stop here for now.    … Expand

    Fun game with friends. Just FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN GAME. It's like 50/50 that your new things are bugged and unusable. After contact with EA-support "We are not able to refund or compensate you in any way"

    Well thanks for making me spend 10 euro (thank god I didnt buy more) for exactly... NOTHING.

    The only good thing about his title is the graphics, other then that not even worth the $3 (if you were one of those).

    I paid for the Ultimate edition, and Warlords of NY, that makes it almost $150.

    I paid for the Ultimate edition, and Warlords of NY, that makes it almost $150. The game and future expansions were Hyped by Massive and their SOTG over and over before the official release and during the first few month, even after a year Massive is unable to meet their promises; here is why:

    -game bugs are returning over and over, such as the Reviver Hive, NPCs stuck in walls making a completion of a given mission impossible, specially in the Dark Zone.

    -Lag-luster connection to their servers in prime time on a busy weekend... this one talks for itself as that delay makes PVP in a competitive DZ very hard.

    -Saying that all updates are free (if you bought the Ultimate Edition) and then retracting that making it sound that "Year one Pass". The game was unfinished at release, not only that but Massive's development made drastic changes that made you start over (during year one) several times hindering your progression. Then when you thought that you had something accomplished Massive announced WoNY and again wiped all your progress of the past year. All hard farmed exotics you may have gathered or that nice gear you got rendered useless. This alone makes a customer feel like garbage and that you may have wasted all that time in the first place.

    -Customer treatment, oh well, let me not get started. Opening a ticket with Ubisoft or Massive (it does not matter) is getting canned emails with a link to a forum or something else. You never get help but that is normal I guess as they think Children don't know what they want anyways or what they do. I am adult and know what I want or need when I pay money for a product that is unusable or so broken that I rather not use it then get frustrated.

    -Banning customers who voice their opinion, or use in-game mechanics to gain an edge to a broken game, unplayable content and ridiculous RNG (farming the same mission 97 times and no exotic drops should tell you what I am talking about).

    Massive does not even play their game, (well now one of their developers does with one of the mayor exploiters of the game anyways).

    Massive has no line to follow when it comes to content, all you get here is the same grindy mission to be played over and over. One example: Kill 500 Outcasts while they are on fire. That makes it 500 times killing in the same instance over and over, how boring and frustrating that must be? Anybody remembers Diablo 3, where each run you made rewards you with a bit more power, gear drops left and right making you feel after ever session that you have acomplished something... if you look for such feeling in the Division 2, don't be shocked if you don't have that after 1000 hours played... you will never have that feeling. Even if you have that feeling Massive will take it away with a NERF as they think the piece of gear (be it a weapon or gear piece does not matter) is overpowered and needs to brought in line with the PVP content of the game.

    PVP... they have a ZONE (Dark Zones) where you PVP but you have NPCs that you have to kill to get Gear, so you have to PVE in a PVP zone but they want to "Level the gear to the PVP zone" while completely breaking the PVE aspect of that gear or set. It is very frustrating to play games such as this one and I would like to warn you, if you are not a professional gamer or a masochist that likes to waste his time, stay away from Massive's The Division 2    … Expand

The jump from challenging to heroic is the hardest part with so-so loot and low drop rates.
    The community is toxic with the split between banned/not banned players. The bans do appear to be indiscriminate and support team is genuinely not reviewing tickets. Not to mention the dps glitch is still around and players are now being perma-banned because of matchmaking. The developer's level of ignorance is at DJT levels. I understand banned players are in the minority, but they are quite active on other platforms for the game. That's probably how they found out about the glitch before devs publicized it. I found out because of the patchnotes on 3/22. It seemed like that is when it caught fire. How can you justify such an extensive rollback? People are seeing their DZ stats are completely reset as well. Do the devs think everybody who tried it, took it into PVP???? Give yourself a 2 week rollback and see how you feel. Rest your recalibration library. Delete all your loot. reset your specilization points. Do this and know that you can't get your season event caches back either. You have to go back and redo tidal basin for nemesis parts. you have to replay level 4 control points for the holster. you have to replay true sons missions for the exotic chest. you have to re-farm NY bosses for lady death. It is just brutal, most people probably never want to play a UBISOFT game again.
    The developers really do need to project and see how this looks from the perspective of banned players. Maybe they assume the banned community has been doing it since TU8 release, but reality some people only tried it after the failed patches. It is really brutal for them to be rolled back 2 weeks with 1 week ban. Its just a kick in the face for unbanned players to gloat. Its even worse knowing there are heavy glitchers who kept the loot. Its just toxic to see youtubers cozy with the devs shove it their faces.
    The game is definitely amazing to play though. the premise and gameplay is awesome. However, the developers are seriously out of touch. Maybe it is because they know they put a great game out there?    … Expand

    disappointed with how unbalanced the game is from the challenger to the heroic and legendary ... not to mention the loot that still sucks because only bad pieces come and in the legendary missions you can't play to try to get a good rool because it's ridiculous you take one shot and lose all your protection until msm hit kill

    Purchased The Division 2 on launch. Spent nearly 300 hours with it and enjoyed it. However, inventory management is what put me off and I stopped playing the game. I got my money's worth.

    Pre-ordered WONY. Expected to have similar experience as at launch, but boy - was I wrong. Gear 2.0 is something I really liked. It maybe simplified the game, but it made everything more manageable.    Purchased The Division 2 on launch. Spent nearly 300 hours with it and enjoyed it. However, inventory management is what put me off and I stopped playing the game. I got my money's worth.

    Pre-ordered WONY. Expected to have similar experience as at launch, but boy - was I wrong.

    Gear 2.0 is something I really liked. It maybe simplified the game, but it made everything more manageable.

    Unfortunately, that is the only positive side of WONY and current state of The Division 2.

    It is lazy, buggy as hell and not a joy to play. Loot is generally crap, some gear sets don't work, some talents currently also don't work (in DZ, for example), control points are not reset, can't reach boss areas in at least 1 bounty, flame thrower enemies have insane range, and so on, and so on. There are many places which describe all the bugs, no point to list it here.

    But worst of all - Massive did what they said they would not do.

    They turned The Division 2 enemies into sponges. Worst sponges you can imagine. Horrible and super lazy decision. A year ago, things would be hard, but you wouldn't spend 2 minutes shooting at a thing trying to kill it.

    Also, you now die pretty much if enemies fart in your general direction.

    So, you end up with a "cover-based" game where you are supposed to stay behind cover in order not to die, but at the same time you need to peek outside cover in order to shoot enemies for half an hour in order to damage them. Paradoxical.

    Damage glitch was a revelation, since it made it possible for players to realize how crap loot drop tables are and that there is nothing to look forward to, in the end game. Massive has changed the game so it feels like a mobile game. Really sad about that.

    Basically, loot drops are junk and you have a very small chance to actually get a piece of gear, or a weapon, with really good rolls. Massive has turned the game into a "quest for a good drop" game.

    Loot in The Division 2 is simply gambling and nothing more than that. Some people might like it, but I like to be rewarded for the time I spend in game, so this does not sit with me well.

    All that being said - if you get a game at a good discount, buy it and play until you reach the end game.

    Game is beautiful, story line is interesting and you should get a lot of fun before you reach the end game. You won't need to worry about builds, talents or anything else while you are progressing, so you won't notice all the issues.

    However, if you don't like bulletsponges as enemies, skip TD2.

The part that pisses me off is my close friend and other clan mate didn’t get banned yet they used the damage glitch the entire time with me. Yet my account was banned and I rolled back and lost 298 SHD levels. Two weeks worth of grinding on top of legit loot that I earned. So the devs are absolute terrible people when it comes to their player base they really don’t know how to fix things in their game and properly handle situations.
