    As a solo player, this is the worst looter shooter game I have ever played. Zero game balance skew towards singleplayer. Boss enemies are just high damage high accuracy bullet sponges and all you can do is to dance around them because they can snipe you with minigun. And when there is more than one in a tight spot, you are screwed. Zero fun, very frustrating.

    It's designed as an online co-op game, but you can play solo. Though there seems to be a latency delay no matter what. You can't pause the game, and if you idle for too long they'll kick you out and you'll have to restart the whole mission (not even from checkpoint).

    There's lots of HUD items on your screen, particularly in the center of it, which I don't like. You can hide only some of it, some of the time. Even the enemies have health bars...

    The guns aren't fun to use, and the general gameplay isn't fun.

    Headshots don't seem to matter, and it takes anywhere from a dozen bullets to a full clip to kill someone. This seems to tie into the fact that the game is designed for multiplayer, so they expect enemies to get shot at by multiple people. Problem is, even if you wanted to, I wasn't able to find any partners in matchmaking.

    There's no stealth killing. No crouch. No sneaking up on people and taking them out from behind.

    The graphics are nice, run well, and aren't heavily demanding. But unfortunately they're the only good thing about this game. And they're not good enough to counter all the other deficits.

    Gear? The same 3 items with the same 3 mods, but they come in different colors and levels! What do the colors and levels mean you ask? Nothing! But at least you won't notice the complete halt of progression after two minutes of playtime.

    As per the Co-Op/Multiplayer, you literally have no idea of how badly it is implemented, if you try the hard mode on the main quests, you will keep praying got that no one will join, because there is no way the average Division fan will be able to even reach the initial objective (literally the entrance door).

    I just can't play. I have a good Internet, good PC but I get bugs. For example, enemies just do not load . It's like I'm playing with the invisible. Instead give the enemies of intellect , Ubisoft just gave them a lot of health. They just run at me, and my weapons do not cause them any damage. Very glad, that not spent on this game their money . Neither do you.

    $7 for 3 loot boxes
    Already spent 100$ on game and season pass, because my friend told me to buy the gold edition.
    Only played it for 7hrs.
    Heard the story is very short and bad.
    Bullet sponge enemies
    Always online DRM, unbalanced meant for co-op not single player. But no one is in match making because the sequel is out now.

    This game really does deserve a zero. There are so many problems it boggles the mind. I have never been more certain that a game has been given false positive reviews than I am with The Division. Everything negative you are reading in the reviews is true.

    If you have ever wondered why it is a bad thing to have to always be connected while playing a game, then look no further than this
    This game really does deserve a zero. There are so many problems it boggles the mind. I have never been more certain that a game has been given false positive reviews than I am with The Division. Everything negative you are reading in the reviews is true.

    If you have ever wondered why it is a bad thing to have to always be connected while playing a game, then look no further than this game as a perfect example. You get disconnected, or can't connect in the first place, for so many reasons. It's lots of fun being almost finished with a brutally hard mission and then being disconnected. It's also a great time when your profile needs to be rebuilt and you lose hours of progress or have to completely start over again.

    The AI in this game is the worst I have ever seen. I understand that AI in a game usually involves some kind of cheating to make sure it is not too easy, but this AI has no intelligence at all and consists of nothing more than flat out cheating. Your enemies can shoot you before they see you. They can shoot you through barriers, including walls. They can shoot you from incredible distance no matter what weapon they have. Their standard weapons can shoot you from further away than any sniper rifle you may have. Their weapons will also kill you in the blink of an eye. So much so that you may not even have a second to take cover before your dead. Then they will often just walk or run right up to you and kill you while your blasting them in the face the whole time. Their accuracy is incredible. They can face away from you and still hit you while firing their gun. Apparently the AI is set up so they don't have an accuracy rating, it's just an automatic hit. You, on the other hand, have to put with things like laptops and flimsy barriers completely blocking your fire while they fire right through them. It's not just enemy AI that is awful, the NPCs are terrible. The voices are disconnected from the people who are supposedly speaking. They face away from you and talk to walls when they are supposed to be addressing you. You see the same couple of interactions wherever you travel. It's so stupid they would have been better off just leaving the city empty. The civilians just casually walk right into your firefights. The soldiers who sometimes "assist" you literally never hit anything and walk casually among the enemies who have no interest in hurting them even though they are supposedly firing at them. They will, however, do as much as possible to get in your way.

    The mission design is very poor and repetitive. The fact that you have to grind so much makes that aspect even more unpleasant. Everyone talks about all of the "loot", but what is the point? Most of the items are worthless and any upgrades are immediately nullified by the enemy AI being upgraded. Getting an "upgrade" will often make things more difficult for you as the enemies more than offset any new weapons or armor.

    I wouldn't touch "Tom Clancy's The Division 2" with a ten foot pole. Gamers buying garbage like this make me sad, and are ruining gaming.

    The division finally starts.
    Log in. Get a series of images passing by so fast you can't actually watch it. Yeah, some kind of virus killed the populace. Get on with it.
    Emerge in a street. I can choose a character. I am a woman and I am white. The only two white women are a young dyke(only cropped haircuts) or the older variant of that girl with the option of having a small pony tail. The young girl is plain looking, the older one is ugly.
    I get annoyed.
    Picked the young one.
    Get instructions how to shoot(i know this stuff already so let's get going).
    The sign of button pops up. I probably have to press it. No explanation which button it is, so finally go into the menu and look at the controls: it is the space bar.
    Ok. Lets go. Press shift. I don't sprint.
    Look again in the controls: shift is sprint. Press shift again: can't sprint.
    Get seriously frustrated..
    Follow the instruction to shoot at the assigned objects and jump over obstacles.
    Can sprint now with shift.
    So they only unlock the sprint control after your followed the instructions.
    Move to some safehouse that I was ordered to go to.
    Safehouse crawls with people Called TSSSSsssK or GotaGartcha baby. UnderBeat or Malaficky. That I know from MMO's. What are all these people doing in my singleplayer?
    I get instruction to equip my frist skill. No explanation how to do this. So I have to figure out how to do it..
    Finally I get to go. I get three generic MMO style quests offered. Fetch this. Escort that or do this.
    Stopped game., deinstalled it and asked a refund.

    According to steam I played this game 39 minutes. It feels like I did not play at all.
    Looks nice though.

    The frostbite engine looks amazing but makes it impossible to track and ban hackers as said by the developers and is quite and oversight of using this engine. As detailed as the map of New york is its just so DAMN EMPTY, put more npcs patrolling or allow players with open matchmaking to encounter each other sometimes as they're navigating the city. The darkzone feels just as desolate, you expect 24-28 players to occupy the 9 segments of the DZ? The fact that rogues can end their manhunt through rogue terminals proves otherwise. I've seen 4 man teams go manhunt 4 times before anyone tried to stop them from redeeming their manhunt.

    The end game is nothing but an endless grind for gear. You can get geared up in 1 night and spend the rest of your time doing the same stuff over and over again for a minor increase in stats.
    The season pass was a scam as well with worthless content that nobody plays and you cannot find a group for 95% of the time.

    I had already written one review on The Division around 2 months after it had released, I gave it a 5 then and since have had a change of heart in regards to that score. I had racked up 250 hours before writing the first review and have done considerable hours since.

    Initially I had enjoyed playing this game, I'm not going to go into detail about that as it is in my initial review, I'm just going to concentrate on my experience after that which was not good. The game has so many flaws it really does beggar belief how it made it to retail, even now given the state of the game is should still not be released, bugs, exploits, glitches and the massively unbalanced nature of pvp, be it the glitch exploiters who farm the incursions for all the best gear or just plain cheaters.

    When the Underground dlc dropped I was hoping that it would put the game back on track and fix some of the issues as well as give players some much needed variation, sadly after a week or so I realized that the Underground was also as linear as the rest of the game and just as tedious and repetitive. To make matters worse, the rewards for finishing in Challenging and Heroic were horrendously poor, the infinite grind (for me at least) was never rewarding. i tried pvp again and it was just as awful as last time, my character was reasonably strong 500damage and 400stamina yet while I was wasting masses of ammo clips on players, a few shots would always take me down, despite popping my alt and using the strengths of my build. Something was glitching or I was just always matched up against people who I had no chance of beating, the balance was way off, I lost interest after that and haven't been back since and I doubt I will.

    I learned a valuable lesson though, never pre order and never buy dlc early, I threw a lot of money into this game and despite having done around 300 hours on it I still don't feel I have had my moneys worth. I should still be playing this game, sadly its faults are too big to be ignored and it just becomes boring, unrewarding and extremely repetitive to play. It's deleted from my hard drive and will probably stay that way.

    So initially I gave it a 5/10, my experiences thereafter and the fact that fixes are still proving to be elusive have made me reconsider. I now give it a 1/10 and it can be lucky it got that 1 for the overall concept. The execution of everything in this game is what contributes to my new score of 1/10, shoddy, unfinished and extremely poor execution have sullied my perception of a game that initially at least I enjoyed.

    Massive and Ubisoft promise fixes, sadly I have waited long enough and while 1.4 is imminent, sadly for Ubnisoft and Massive so is Battlefield 1, FIFA 16, Mafia 3 and a host of other games that will forever bury my interest in returning to this sorry spectacle of a game.

    I seriously urge anyone who hasn't bought it yet to read extensively on it before buying or even better, get a hands on play from friends or something, I don't think it's current price is justifiable, especially when including the dlc. In fact, if I could I'd ask for a refund but I've already played too much of it. Be careful with this game and do your homework.

    Too much RNG, the devs did not learn from the mistakes of destiny and diablo 3. Despite those games ironing out their issues. Massive keeps trying to reinvent the wheel and ends up with a flat tire.

    The season pass is a joke. The monthly rewards are are a slap to the face, the monthly event is just a repurposed dark zone supply drop that gives more RNG crap.

    Their idea of new content is inflating damage numbers, health and armor numbers and increasing grenade spam.

    Another broken game from a company that is about as trustworthy as gas station sushi. Bad game design strapped to so many layers of RNG that you almost have to laugh.
    Ubisoft gives infratctions on their forum for even disagreeing with a decision no matter how stunningly stupid it is.
    They think ganking and griefing in the DZ is actually entertaining game content. The PC users on Steam are already down 95% and they refuse to talk about total users. No information gives them plausible deniability.
    The hitboxes are only head, neck and torso. That is all. Again, lazy game design. Weapons that share a common ammo can actually have vastly different damage. Even with the blueprints the number range it says to expect often isn't even what you end up getting.
    Crafting was nerfed because they think we should spend endless hours hoping we get a decent drop. Sorry, was this meant to be fun or a damn job?
    The Light Zone as they refer to the PVE world is dead, empty, vapid and after you finish the short main story it no longer has a reason to exist so they tossed some repetitive Incursions into them.
    Oh they also gave you the HVT's but then decided they should require a full squad, not offer a functioning matchmaking system for them and weight the drops so that they in all likelihood only give you the same damn piece of gear. You know, more of that broken ass RNG I mentioned.
    The Support people are useless. Had somebody get into my Uplay account (which I shouldn't have to go through to simply play a game I never purchased directly from them) and I ended up with a 14 day ban because of it. They gave me no way to self report it. They won't even verify the IP address, that the password was in fact changed or that they screwed with my save file and characters in the process. I was told to prove it wasn't me. WTF?
    They ban people for cheating as well without proof and then demand they prove they did not cheat either which they know there is no way to do if they give you no details as to what, where, when, how you were cheating and assume everyong has a monster hard drive and records all gaming sessions since day **** one.
    Despite a metric eff ton of positive and well thought out ideas for ways to fix the game in their feedback, they simply ignore them.
    Now they are pushing Watch Dogs 2, another game they released broken after some false advertising and then dropped all support for. Sorry, you screwed me enough times already. Never purchasing anything with their name on it ever again. I really do hope Vivendi completes the hostile takeover and fires the entire company. Black ball those asshats.
    Oh I forgot, piss poor game optimization, they lied about a functioning anti-cheat in beta, they lied about the "rewards" the Season Pass owners would get, they lied about the outfits that they were to get as well and they continue to lie about their player base. At E3 they just claimed they had 10 million active players playing 3hrs a day. They maybe sold that many copies, ever but damn sure not 10 million people playing the game for 3 hours a day.
    Nothing to see here, just another POS game from a POS company looking to take your money.

    the crafting system is poorly designed, the weapon balance is none existent, the game modes are too short and unimaginative.there is zero reason to specialize your skills, the game itself is unstable and often has significant fps drops for no reason, gear sets are unimaginative and often unbalance the game even further. the RNG is the worst i have ever seen in a game and renders the majority of items useless.

    basically every single pve and role play element of the divisions end game is terrible

On the other hand we have a difficult game, in which the engagements with the enemy must be calculated instead of just runin' and shootin'. Also the story is kinda interesting, compared with some newer games.

Also the story is kinda interesting, compared with some newer games.

    Once we have the strongest points of the game out of the way, let's talk about the negative aspects. Overall, the game feels very empty. Being repetitive helps a lot with this. The enemies are not that different between them, in comparison with other RPGs. The areas are basically the same, and the accessible buildings are copy-paste. But the worse thing is the RPG elements. The character customization is a joke. The "skills tree" is the shortest I've ever seen, which also makes you feel like you're playing an empty game.

    In conclusion, the graphics are great. But that's not all, Ubisoft. The funny part of the RPGs, which is progressing with your character, customizations, etc. are just a joke. The "campaign" is short, and after that you can only repeat again and again the same missions. Looking for a good shooter? Look elsewhere. Looking for a good RPG? Look elsewhere.

    If you are more of MMO person and want to play with friends, you will soon hit the wall and discover that the game is broken in so many ways. In theory you can build your character the way you want but in fact... upon doing some calculations there is 0.01% change the boss will drop the item you really want (I'm simplifying for all six stats on each high lvl item). Usually it takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete a mission that drops one of those high level items. If that doesn't speak to you, let me put it another way. I have approx 250 hours of gameplay and my friend has 50. You would think that my gear is so much better than his... oh well, not at all. The difference is 7 points in the gearscore (206 vs 199) - which translates to, 'no noticable difference'. I'll let you think about it. I have never came across a game with such a 'cruel' drop system. Yes, the game provides some customization of perks on the items you have but this is extremely limited (only 1 spec can be edited out of 5+), and each time you want to change it, you have to roll and pray. This is because each time you roll a new perk it costs more. To add to it, there are a lot of hackers in the game who walk around with miniguns (usually SMGs hacked to provide crazy damage without the need to reload). Few weeks back the dev team banned some hackers for 2 weeks... I guess you know where I'm going with this.
    Furthermore the Dark Zone, which is the multiplayer zone, is so small that 3 teams of 4 can successfully clear 95% of the loot areas (where the bosses are with good *stuff). In the last 2 weeks of gameplay I enjoyed maybe 2 hours of gameplay in DZ.
    I can keep going like this but there is no point. I have highlighted most transparent flaws of the game.
    Is the game pretty, yes. Is the game fun, very... very rarely... take it from someone who 'wasted' so many hours.

The atmosphere is fantastic and you really get the feeling of being in NYC following a catastrophic event. I didn't mind the grind to 30 and there was enough instances to enjoy along the way. It was fun to watch your BoO transform and for people to being to populate it. The mechanics are pretty solid, with the exception of moving in and out of cover can cause frustration. These are the reasons I gave it a score of 2, because everything else about the game has been a disappointment.

    There is very little class variation or ability to play a different style of game, such as being a tank or a healer. It's obvious there was some effort to create different classes, but it fall way short. So regardless of what build or talents you pick the game basically feels the same.

    One of the issues with this game is the lack of end game content. The best equipment and weapons in the game are crafted, which defeats the purpose and fun of defeating a boss or instance. The last patch supposedly addressed this, but it truly failed to do so. Once you get enough materials to craft a new weapon or piece of equipment you are left to the mercy of a RNG and it doesn't seem random at all. In fact it seems to be weighted to prevent you from getting the kind of stats you are looking for. I crafted about 30 of the same gun and ended up with one that was acceptable, not ideal.

    Glitching bosses is another issue. Players purposely glitched the game to kill the same boss over and over again. Where's the fun in that? While I never did it, I can understand it to a degree when you are subject to crafting the best stuff in the game and facing an imbalanced RNG. I dislike when people exploit an online game because it tends to ruin the over all feel and community of the game.

    The biggest issue with this game is that hackers run rampant in the Dark Zone. Even after going through the process of reporting them it seems like nothing happens. One time my friends and I even had a guy in the DZ admit he was hacking and teleporting and said he would only get a two day ban so it was no big deal. This was after he had killed us with one shot and was hiding inside a vehicle, which isn't normally accessible, so it was impossible to shoot back at him.

    How can you release an online multiplayer game without any form of anti-cheat requirements???? It's as though the developers and publisher want people to cheat. I know they say they are addressing the issue, but this is a game breaker that responding to such a serious oversight after release amounts to too little, too late for most players.

    In a game where grinding levels and gear is required by running the same instance or route over and over and over again, even to the point of complete boredom, to have another player instantly kill you because they are cheating is infuriating. At first my friends and I were angry with the cheaters, but after it was obvious that cheaters were running around unchecked it became obvious that the true issue is Ubisoft and the game itself.

    Don't waste your time or money. I wish it was different because this game has such potential.

    Once you hit level 30 if you want to join a group doing missions, well make sure they are real life friends, because you won't have the gear score other groups are looking for and will be dropped consistently. That leaves you to the dark zone and again as a fresh level 30 expect to be completely rolled over as soon as you have the perception of anything valuable on you or just for the lolz by hackers.

    I got this game for free and I still feel like I was ripped off/salty based on the time investment to get to level 30. Maybe revisit this game in 6 months but honestly once you're done with the story, you're done with this game in my opinion.

    Bugs, gente que se aprovecha de exploits, hackers, cheaters, una historia que es pésima, un modo campaña que es corto, muchísima falta de contenido, sobre todo mas variedad de misiones y enemigos.

    Una vez alcanzas el Nivel 30 y terminas la campaña pasas a depender de la Zona Oscura o repetir las mismas misiones de la campaña infinitas veces solo que con mayor dificultad, el problema es que o bien haces las misiones en dificultad desafiante (Lo cual es imposible si no juegas en equipo con gente buena) o bien vas a la Zona Oscura, esa zona en la que el 80% son Hackers, 10% se han aprovechado de Exploits para farmear Fenix (Por tanto viene a ser como Hackers pero de forma "legal") y 10% restante son los jugadores normales que juegan sin aprovecharse de Exploits ni usan hacks, pues bien los que somo ese último 10% de jugadores que jugamos normal solo somos dianas andantes para el resto de jugadores ya que o usas Hacks/Exploits o no tienes ninguna posibilidad, es por esto que la Zona Oscura y por ende el multijugador PVP ESTÁ ROTO, si a esto le sumamos los bugs como los disparos que atraviesan paredes (Bug que ocurre desde la primera beta cerrada, asi que imaginarse la de soluciones que ponen) entonces la Zona Oscura viene a pasar de ser zona PVP a zona de tortura y pérdida de tiempo ya que da igual lo bien equipado vayas y vayas en grupo o no porque está plagado de gentuza que destrozan el juego mas de lo que ya de por si está.

    Mi recomendación para todo el que se piense comprar este juego es que no lo haga, no confiéis en las falsas promesas de Ubisoft de solucionar problemas porque no lo harán y no es algo nuevo, para que pudieran solucionar todos estos problemas tendrían que modificar el juego de 0 y hacerlo como se debe, ahora el código fuente es una basura, es un coladero y no tiene solución posible, dicho por expertos en el mundo de los videojuegos.

    Como decía no tireis vuestro dinero en este juego ni ningún otro de Ubisoft.

    PvP (DZ) is chalked FULL of hackers, although they seemed to have fixed the problem temporarily with a slew of 2-week bans, now the DZs are virtually empty! LOL
    The game has been full of glitches & exploits from the beginning, plus random DC issues all the time due to Uplay cloud syncing issues.
    Basically not much to do and a lot for Ubi-Soft to fix. Not much of an RPG experience, just mindless gear grind for perhaps PvP fun with hackers that can one-shot you from a mile away across the map and then teleport to you and steal your gear.

    1. Can't use my Crossfire set up, I have to disable one of the cards so I can play without having graphic issues. Yes my drivers are up to date.
    2. Endgame is bad and is unsatisfying, with a $60.00 price tag and to end it like they did, it burns me.
    3. Character Creation is basic, with all the work they put into the World, levels textures, lighting and effects, clothing and this is what you get, a few faces with a few hairstyles and tattoos?
    4. Really no replay value, unless you really want to replay the same mission over & over & over & over again with friends or without before moving off to another game.
    5. The Incursions are linear in design (what a waste with all that effort the DEV's did in building that world) .
    6. Pvp, Rogue, Crafting and Loot system is broken and terribly unbalanced, plus there is really no point to make the effort to grind at all in the Dark Zone. Especially if your a new player trying to grind solo for better equipment or to complete your DZ daily mission or trying to grind to craft better equipment. Check the Steam forums for additional problems
    7. Enemies re-spawning / appearing out of nowhere (DZ is really bad).
    8. Boss's in the game are just bullet sponges and it gets worst as the player progresses in the story. Instead of one magazine worth of bullets in the beginning and by the time player hits the middle of the story, it would take about 5-10 magazines worth of bullets. By the time the player is near the end of the story, they will need a restock box to refill their inventory of bullets.

    The PC version has a rampant hacker problem. Do not buy this game for PC. The singe player is indeed fun, and a lot of the coop makes the game enjoyable, but ass I spend most of the game playing against other players, this game is not worth it......

    Could be a great game but at present there are too many cheaters and hackers in the dark zone. They are ruining the experience for the casual player. The amount of times I have been shot through a wall. I even emptied a full magazine into the face of one rogue and it didn't even dent his health bar. Needless to say he fired one bullet and I was dead.
    Ubisoft need to sort out these issues

Shoot the same 8 looking NPCs every wheres you go in the game. Glitchers and hackers will love this game tho. Endless amounts of glitches to cheat to get the best gear same week vs same month or two. Hackers, only hacker detection is players reporting them and Massive "looks into it". 3 day ban before 2nd offense Perm ban. Just keep changing your user name to avoid this.

    Massive is more concerned playing the game at work and streaming it, rather than doing actual patch work to fix issues. Massive is more for, change something little like unable to cause damage with your gun, after a week of people cheating this way. To now, use Sticky bombs and explosive ammo to kill the target while today they announced the next "patch" will make it so only C4 (as the mission is attended for it to be) will do damage. While the major reason to the glitches that been on going for weeks, still is allowed. But hey, what do you expect from a company that makes a joke about a credit glitch called Bullet King. They took their time to patch that, than just made it into big ha ha on Ubisoft site with showcasing clips of people doing the glitch; no punishment is ever handed out for glitching. Just tweaks to the system like crafting that punishes the legit players more than anything.

    Game could've been something great. Just too large of a project for a company that is so new and has basically all fresh out of school employees. Ubisoft should've left it in Red Storms hands to build or another with experience and understanding of the gaming community to not make jokes at large issues that they avoided to repair for long periods of time.

I realize not all hackers are Chinese, however in this game its like 95% of them.

    There are only humans to fight. Never thought id get bored of shooting people. The end game is incredibly dull, consisting of RERUNNING THE SAME MISSIONS you ran to when leveling. The bullet sponge NPCs require a ridiculous amount of damage to kill, multiple magazines from high powered rifles, this is not, nor was it ever, a tactical Tom Clancy game.

    The end game is reliant on crit chance, meaning any and all PVP is based on gear score alone. Don't expect to get any good fights, because you will either destroy your target or empty magazines of ammo into someone only to have them turn around and one shot you....with an SMG.

    The games content is extremely grindy even before end game, every mission or encounter is the exact same.

    Incursion is just one giant meat grinder. Survive wave after wave in the same small area, with 0 save points. I can understand why people would rather glitch it then run it right, there is nothing rewarding about the gameplay in this mission.

    The game looks great, does it look as good as they promised, no but it still looks great.

They don't respond on the forums. They don't send in game messages, they have so many avenues to talk to people and let them know whats going on yet they are quite as church mice.

    The exploiters are the worst. They should have rolled this patch back, yet they chose to bulldoze forward. Now the changes to crafting that upped the cost was a direct cause by people using exploits. Everyone suffered because of these cheaters. Now we have super human like hacking in the DZ. There is so much evidence, yet they don't do anything. They did do 3 day bans, but nothing else that I have seen. They refuse to name the users or say what bans handed out. They won't talk about the elephant in the room.

    The graphics were dumbed downed, the features they promised are there, but in a somewhat diminished capacity from what was originally promised, I can't really blame them though, the game still looks fantastic.

    The Problem is with the artificial scaling, lack of meaningful content at endgame, repetitive nature of the dailies and the boundless, exploits, glitches and hackers, ohhh god the hackers....
    The dark zone has become polluted with too many cheaters to be really fun, the drop rates have been nerfed and then now they are guarenteed, but only the gear that drops is no longer relevant so you will likely only get something useful maybe 2-4% of the time. The addition of Supply Drops, meant to be a catalyzing force to draw players together, do just that. but the stuff that drops out of it is so meaningless most of the time, your hoping players show up because they likely have better loot, yea you don't have to extract it but after clearing dozens of these things, the best piece of gear i got was something I had already gotten from the raid/Incursion. That brings me to my next point, the Incursion, cause there is only to one right now and to be honest it is god awful, yes there were some new enemy types and yes there was the slight introduction of what would be considered mechanics, but it can all be ignored and glitched so you don't actually have to fight any of it, chessing the boss directly which the just drops your loot and de-spawns all the enemies, no mess, fuss, no hassle just free loot.

    So what does all this mean to the game, well as many other have already stated the game is basically a Diablo style game with guns, set in third person and if you like that style of game, of runnign the same thing over and over and over again just on the of chance you will get something that is slightly better than what you got from it already then even still this game is mediocre at best, looks great, astonishing at times, down right annoying at others (snowstorms come to mind). but in the end even a mediocre game is marred by exploits, glitches and hackers. I can't rightly recommend this game to anyone in its current state, and if the patches and fix priority that the developers have shown so far, not any time in the near future either.

    Verdict: Go play a real shooter if you want to player a shooter. Go play a real Rpg if you want to play an Rpg. This game does a disservice to both genres, and it had so much potential too, the developers missed the ball by a long shot here.

    Many of the design decisions make absolutely no sense and the PC port is complete garbage, and on top of that the game itself is boring as hell. You spend 90% of your time just running around looking for some NPCs/Rogues/Agents to kill the end game content consists of harder versions of the same missions you'd completed dozens of times while leveling... the Dark Zone is the sole redeeming factor of this game because it's tends to be actually FUN in stark contrast to the rest of the game, however without any structure it's just a sandbox pew pew fest for trolls and lols and it's very, very uneven considering how some players are super geared from farming exploits which are RAMPANT in this game.

    NO end game exclusive content , just the same crap over, and over. Oh Incursions you say?! They are just a warehouse you fight waves of enemies in! That's right!

    Expectations were high when the game was released, and yet it crushed all hope set in it. I don't even know where to start... first, I played it ~41 hours in all possible ways, a lot of PvE, a lot of PvP, solo, in groups, etc. So you know what my opinion is based upon.

    So let's start.

    First of all the graphics. While The Division looks really good, it is not as good as seen in several trailers (which is a quite common problem with games, I guess). Also, you'll experience significant FPS drops while playing, for no reason. This could be caused by your PC, but most likely, it's a server-sided problem.

    Next point: the servers are very, very unstable, resulting in random disconnects, login problems and all the other known issues. Plus the servers aren't divided into areas, it's quite possible for you to read korean, russian and a lot of other languages in the chats.

    Now the multiplayer. Well. Cooperative is fun with friends, gotta admit, and playing with a good team is really cool. But on the other side, the Dark Zone (open PvP zone with PvE elements) and all its gameplay is neither balanced, nor fair, nor funny. It's grinding, and nothing else, just grinding, all the time.

    Yet another problem in this game: Its items, its inventory, its weapons. The weapon system is similar to that of Borderlands/Borderlands 2, meaining the weapons have levels which define a weapons traits, like damage per second (DPS) and skills. The inventory itself is very overloaded and confusing, it'll take a while until you can actually handle it.

    But now, something more positive: the games missions and plot. Most missions are very, very repetitive, you do them in the one sector, after having finished them, you proceed to the next one, do the same ones again, and all the same again. Sounds not very positive? True, but most missions are good ones in the first place, they just start getting boring after a few hours. The plot itself is interesting, and the whole game shows a realistic post-apocalyptic Manhattan after a huge catastrophe. The atmosphere is really good and immersive, and by collecting various collectibles, you'll get a lot of side informations about what could happen in an apocalyptic scenario, but also about main characters, villains etc. The plot itself is okay, with the Division being a secret government department which is activated after the catastrophe became too hard to handle for other departments, such as police and army (JTF, in this game, =Joint Task Force). But well, that's pretty much it.

    Overall, this game can be very frustrating, boring and repetitive, especially after you finished the main storyline, but it can also be funny in multiplayer - beside technical difficulties and bugs. What annoys me the most is the lost potential, because Manhattan, even though it looks graphically good, seems so... lifeless and empty. There's not much to do for you except missions and occasionally help a citizen, and this is just a waste for the good and interesting setting.

    Because of all of this, it gets 3/10 from me.

The A.I. is mindless and kamikaze, which makes the game entirely too easy or impossible depending on if you are over or under the recommended player level for each stage. All a moot point consider you will not be able to maintain a connection to the servers in multiplayer mode.

    All in all a waste of $70. You are better off renting this game for a couple days and playing solo.

    Moderately good, if repetitive PvE experience that lasts about 15-20 hours. After that, the rest of the game is a grindy, poorly implemented, poorly considered game. The Darkzone(PVP) is a steaming pile of cheaters, exploiters, and outright hackers. Enemy players constantly teleport and one-shot you with aimbots, and UBIsoft/Massive do nothing about it.

    The game is also unnecessarily

    The game is also unnecessarily burdened with daily and weekly lockout timers on content. This isn't a subscription-based game, and there's no need for it. Because of those lockouts, people exploit game bugs to farm more quickly than you can by playing legitimately.

    The entire game is an overall mess. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed it. Pass on this title. Wait a year or so until all the bugs and content are updated, and HOPE that it goes on sale.

    Had to downgrade my original score from 7 to 4 after the 1.1 patch. I guess I'm just not hardcore enough. Well, I don't mind that. Hardcore gamers have ruined everything they touch and I'm happy not to be part of the ruining of this game. Elitist mentality has lead to Ubisoft caving to the most vocal, but least representative members of the community.

    Frankly, if 1.1 is the line

Elitist mentality has lead to Ubisoft caving to the most vocal, but least representative members of the community.

    Frankly, if 1.1 is the line that The Division is taking, I don't care to see how it all winds up. Like many of the Twitchcasters and YouTubers I follow who are Division fanbois, I'm probably just going to step back and see what happens. Looks like this is going down the Destiny route. No more "D" titled MMO lites (or ANY MMO lites for that matter, as we all know it's just disguised DRM).

    Original review:
    Yea, I have to say I'm impressed. As a Twitch caster I watch said, "It's not like a Ubisoft game. It's actually good." I have to say, after watching both the PS4 and PC version, I'm happy to say that I was COMPLETELY wrong and they didn't gimp the PC version for parity. Even after the "Watch Dogs" debacle, I believed that they wouldn't change their stance. It still sold quite well, despite the flak. "Money talks and BS walks", the axiom goes. I fully expected Ubisoft to treat us as they should have, given "Watch Dogs" and the latest series of "Assassin's Creed" financial successes.

    I have to say I've moved back to a guarded positive about the big publishers, such as Bethesda and Ubisoft, who didn't take the EA "Screw 'em. They still come back." attitude.

    Now that I've reached the endgame, it's VERY apparent that there was not much bug hunting, or testing. It's rather a bit of a mess. This has the potential of Destiny, really good in concept, but it's lack of sufficient testing will cost it in the long run.

    This game shouldn't disappoint, but it's certainly not worth full value, either. Twenty percent off is the lowest discount I'd tolerate (I had a bit more). If you are cheap like me and $5 is good for a two hour movie, then you will get 20 hours of enjoyment out of the game. If you are looking for a long haul actual MMO experience, Ubisoft will have to pull a magical golden talking rabbit out of their collective bums.

    By and large, UBI/Massive in the past have failed on a lot of their larger project titles such as Rainbow Six: Siege.

The Division falls nowhere near short of the mark at a great attempt at breaking this cycle. Unfortunately it does not. It has gorgeous graphics and a Tom Clancy story line what more could you ask? Well, dept, substance, and support to name just three. Depth; the game lacks anything to drive players to play past the point that all three systems are at 100%. The dark Zone is full of boss fight experiences that will keep you occupied for about 2 days, after that you are mindlessly running around killing the same old guys and encountering players. Substance; The game feels hollow after you get a good bit of gear the daily hard missions can be soloed in 10 to 15 minutes. The daily challenging is a bit harder but a group of three player can clear them in about 35 to 45 minutes. Support; This is UBI's weakest point in any endeavor. Armor and health exploits in the Dark Zone that allows the unscrupulous player to have endless armor and health and players teleporting to and fro leading to super villain antics of "Poof, I shoot you and take your stuff." Known issues such as daily missions that won't reset for days on end leading to the inability of players to acquire the much needed resources such as in-game credits and crafting materials. These are problems that are known issues and UBI seem to do nothing other than lead their player base to wait for days on end for simple solutions. But hey they are bringing out their first part of "Incursions". Steer clear of this and all UBI titles as long as you can....if you need to fill your gaming void, go play Plants vs Zombies as it is less repetitive than The Division. Expand

    I was really disappointed by The Division. The story, although present, is lacking and bland, and the quests are generally very repetitive and poorly written. They feel in a way similar to the most boring grind quests you find in generic mmorpgs. Go to an area, secure a container or kill some enemies, save hostages, and agAin again and again.

The environment is quite poor and has not much life(even for a city plagued with a lethal virus). I cant even say the multiplayer experience is that entertaining, it doesnt bring anything really new when you cooperate with teammates, its just your ordinary shooting experience. It is hard for me to get what ubisoft truly tried to achieve, i cannot see what their original goal was, but the result is an average shooting game with rpg mechanics. I cannot recommand it if you want a sinngle player experience because story is poor, but its not either your best choice if you want to play in multiplayer. The game lacks identify and refined game mechanics?Maybe it tried to appeal to veryone, but satisfied nobody? Expand

    REPETITIVE as hell. The weapons sounds like toy guns, the whole gameplay is just not fun and the buildings look boring and the whole scenario looks repetitive. Overrated as always, another dissapointment that was acclaimed by the so called "professional reviewers". Probably they just don't care about game quality anymore, they just recycled aspects from other 3rd person shooters, nothingREPETITIVE as hell.

    This is another game that continues the recently popular Diablo with guns genre. This one is especially boring this time around with a piss poor PVP system and an extremely MMO like emphasis on grinding. In short it's Destiny in a different setting which boils down to uninspired Skinner box **** only this time even the PVP is awful.

    Pretty disappointed by Ubisoft:
    Repetitive side missions, route repetition, bad, and easily exploitable multiplayer function and end game content, slow progression in banning blatant multihack users (Aimbot, 1 Hit kill, Shooting through objects, & teleporting around the map) etc:
    The environment looks nice map is rather large immersive, and graphics are rather nice when turned up. but

    The environment looks nice map is rather large immersive, and graphics are rather nice when turned up. but nothing really creative has been done with it, copy and paste side missions and railed story missions and challenges, no decision mechanics in such a large game. boring as **** loot grind that no one but the lifers will ever really bother with, horribly delayed shot registration, half assed server tick rate, multiplayer disconnects, and broken Uplay functionality hobble what could have been a great game.

    so much potential flushed down the drain really could have been one of the best games in a long time but it will turn out to be an over priced flavor of the month exercise in mediocrity and corporate powered game creation.

    +1 3rd person shooter - Although when using a scope on a sniper it becomes a less interested FPS this is a great COVERBASED 3rd person shooter which the PS4 needed.

    +1 Mods More in depth weapon modding than Destiny had. Although game is pretty lame in the fact the currently everyone builds a Vector, which is instantly give you a huge power buff. I wish after level 30 there were multiple paths that made since but currently building Vector is the only logical direction.

    Problems - Going Rouge in Dark zone is not worth it
    - After you play through game the world is pointless, only the instanced dailies and dark zone matter. The rest of the work is just a waste of space you have to fast travel over.
    - Shotguns are terrible. Sub machine guns destroy shotguns. Unless you are a bot, then you 1 hit everyone.
    - The cosmetic crap is pretty lame. I have 50 trapper hats I hate them all. out of my 100 hats one is half way cool. would much rather have cosmetic armor showing.
    - Sponge. The bullet sponges didn't bother me to much till end game. now it is just annoying. Really something to consider in future shooter RPGs, but shooting a computer in the head with 30 sniper bullets and they are running around no big deal is pretty annoying.
    - Story mode well existing is pretty underwhelming and more often than not annoying.
    - Minor glitches. anything from fast traveling to wrong place, no being able to get down cover, no shooting over cover properly, and errors that drop me from game, I can be shot by a player but they don't go rouge and they just grief you by shooting you once every 10 seconds till you go rouge, or when I beat a mission all of a sudden the dialogue that was suppose to play throughout the missions starts and its like 10 minutes of nonstop chatter.

    Overall its a cool idea but not worth investing in further. Will not purchase the DLCs. The entire end game concept is broken because in the end your best gear is crafted and you either do that by doing dailies and slowly earning enough credits, or ban with a bunch of people in DZ and go around in a large circle instantly getting you best gear in one night.

    Game can be fun with friends, is boring alone.
    DZ is overrun with hacker and cheater. Gladly that doesn't matter because PvP is not worthwhile.
    Exploits aren't closed. A lot of bugs. Grafik looks nice, gameplay can be annoying in fast fights because of the one button do everything control. Fun skills, a bit op. Shooting feels nice. Game is all about fight against a clone army and loot

    It took The Division a lot of time to reach our computers and consoles, but it was worth waiting for. We have already spent about 200 hours with it collectively and we’re not planning on abandoning it, because it is, simply put, outstanding and shows amazing potential for the future. [05/2016, p.30]
