    Hackers. More hackers. Oh, did I mention hackers? The game is fun, but not when dealing with hackers in the dark zone. If you really want to enjoy the game without this garbage, play it on console.

    It's not bad, you might have a good time playing it, but it has some bad points:
    - it s very repetitive
    - bugs, lots of bugs, especially toward the end of the game
    - sometimes it's ridiculous to put 500 headshots to an ennemy to kill him, and you might end up loosing missing because you don't have enough ammunition to kill everyone...
    - there is no end: at the "end" of the game, there is a speech saying that the city is now better, but half the bad guys from the story are still alive, so you need to buy the DLCs !
    - even if you play solo, a permanent internet connection is required, with its share os connection problems and lags, ennemies popping around you and killng you in 2sec because a a bad server sync...
    If you can't stand these, don't buy this game    … Expand

Next thing you know a ladder kills you, because of a new bug. Or you're doing one of the Incursions where you fight waves of enemies, only to have a game crash at the final wave. What started as a good looking and interesting game with possibilities is continuously turning unplayable and unfun. The players have noticed and there seem to be less and less players from day to day. The game itself would be a 7 or 8 itself if everything would be working but in the state it is in and since the game developers seem to have skipped some programming and quality assurance courses, the game is not worth anything above a 4. Very sad, was really hoping for this game to be as good as advertised.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super repetitive, no bosses at all. Dark Zone should be called Grey Zone because it doesnt have full pvp or pve action. The game is a beta with "new content" ("FREE") adding for the next 3 months.
    Full of bugs, the only meta in the game is doing over and over again the same repulsive missions to find better gear ( now more easy because every named random enemy will drop supreme items 100% of the time.The AI is crap, and the only "boss" in the entire game is a... helicopter...

    Looks pretty and handles well. Thats about it, sub-par everything else. The shift from leveling to end game grinding is harsh making it super repetitive. The DZ holds little value and seems tacked on. The game seemed like a really good concept but poorly executed. Something about pve mobs taking entire clips from military weapons and still going is also very immersion breaking.

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.    … Expand

    This game is following the boring Watch Dogs game design.
    Also this game has tons of bugs and crashes...sometimes you will get stuck in the console-ish menu's.
    And if you think you can later meet great "bosses", no way! Even the boss enemies are are just the same on and on, no special abilities, no fancy design, just always the same "human" boss with no special gun.
    Well okay, the only "interesting" boss is the last boss in this game.

    So if you think this game is worth paying 40-60$ for just 22 hours and many grinding, go buy it...
    Even diablo 3 was more fun, because it has a nice creature design, interesting bosses and items.
    But the division has nothing always the same guns, same enemies, same missions, the map.
    I can say, i will never ever buy a ubisoft game again, i will always wait for cheap sales, because they never worth it.
    Watch Dogs has warned me, never pre-order a ubisoft game again, but it did...and here i am, warning other players wasting their money on this copy&paste game.    … Expand

    Cons-
    -The cover system is utter garbage and very confusing...you'll often have to break out of it just to move to another place to take cover.
    -The A.I. is awful. They don't even know how to react to the players so they either charge at you or stay behind cover as you blow them away.
    -The enemies are generic and pretty much the same.
    -The side missions of the game are all the same thing:
    1. Rescue hostages
    2. Defend your Position
    3. Kill enemies located in a specific area
    -The shops are awful. Everything sells for too low of a price(Or everything costs too much. Depends on which side you'll take).
    -You cannot trade with other players....I am serious.
    -Character creation is very limited.
    -Glitches, glitches everywhere.
    -Uplay(It adds DRM to the game :/)
    -Exploring the open world is actually pointless as whatever you pick up consists of mostly the same thing(Unless it is for crafting but no one crafts anything).
    -The crafting system is useless as you can buy much better gear from the stores :/
    -Grinding is useless as getting experience takes quite a while(Unless you do those big missions...but they are quite boring as well).
    -Graphical downgrade from what was shown..yadadadada!
    -Gear pretty much looks the same(Excluding the guns and the appearance choices).
    -There's barely any late game content except the dark zone...which is basically the rest of the game but with PvP and no quests-Oops I mean "Side Missions"
    -There are only THREE classes! THREE! When most MMOs have more than that(And yes Destiny may have had three classes but those classes had three varieties...something The Division doesn't)
    And the ultimate sin is that The Division is basically a modern Destiny clone in essentials. If you want a good MMORPG go play something like Warcraft, or Archeage. This is just another Ubisoft game made to steal your money.

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

    First of all, lets highlight the good points of the game. One one hand we have awesome graphics, combined with an incredible good recreation of the snowy streets of New York. 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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    +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.    … Expand

    The Division is a game that lacks a lot of things.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    I give it 2/10 only for the nice visuals and athmoshpere before you get into the end-game called "Dark Zone".
    In theory DZ is great concept of PvPvE area where you meet other agents, cooperate to defeat hard mobs and someone may be tempted to turn against you for a pvp combat to get your loot. Then they have to deal with the other agents nearby who will try to hunt them down.

    Thats about the theory...

    In practise, the DZ is a place where you will loose your faith in humanity. If you are nto enjoying backstabing, betraying and murdering innocent people, you will be the one who gets backstabed, betrayed and murdered even by those who could have died by your hand multiple times if you only wished so, but you didnt cause you dont like it, and was sure they will be a little gratefull for that - what kind of person murder someone who just helped them, right?

    Devs really made a great arena for all kind of sociopaths. People who run around there, will always murder anyone weaker than them (2v1, 4v1, 4v2 and so on...), having delight in backstabbing and nuking people within so little time, there is no way to even call it a combat.

    Deserted lands of Darkzone completly negate the theory of high risk and high reward for the rogues. Rogues who within short time will become "non-hostile agents" again, safe from any form of justice and retribution.

    So you have to strip the DZ end game of the illusion of some advanced systems of risk, rewards and retributions, and call it what it is: A very beautiful in terms of visual, but crude, clunky, unbalanced pvp shooter, where everyone will backstab you if you dont backstab them. So if you arent sociopath, you wont have fun. You need to know that once you reach endgame you must forget about the lore, the visuals and the concept of the Division agents - it ends there. Insetad you will just hear the proximity chat of some weird sounding people acting like psychopaths. Its disgusting place to be in. There is no game to be found there, its more like social experiment where people with absolutely no moral code dominate the ones who wont act like serial killers.

    You just reached extraction point and see 2 people loosing to the NPC waves, one of them down on the ground? If you wont execute them on sight, you lose, becouse if you help them, after you all finish the mobs, they will kill you. If you arent cold blood psychopath you are free kill loot hoarded. Why free kill? Becouse when smoene decide to murder you, it happens in 1-2 seconds.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    It's not very good. Its just sort of generic timewasting trash. Do you like destiny and would you rather be playing an even more mediocre destiny thats a realistic 3rd person shooter where guns do no damage? If yes wait for it to go down in price then realize the servers are dead and DONT buy this game.

The mystery behind the virus is known that, oh some organization did it by placing the virus on some twenty dollar bills; so I just didn't give a **** anymore.

    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.

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.

    You finish the story very fast (took me around 20-30 hours) and after that the game just ends unless you like spamming the same missions over and over again.

    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'm only ever interested in single-player content so being forced to always be online is a huge thumbs down from me.

    The idea and setting of this game are both very interesting... what a waste.

    $7 for 3 loot boxes
    Already spent 100$ 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.

    39 minutes of gameplay of The Division.

    Buy game. Download game: takes forever. Next day: start the game. Uplay installs and a window pops up: Log in. Get irritated. No way around it, so I sign up, verify and then log in. Uplay starts: no key for game. The division doesn't start. Frustration grows, Look on internet. Just restart the game. Restart the game.

    Restart the game.
    Steam verifies game, reinstalls files. Takes like an hour.
    Uplay pops up.
    Relent and connect steam to Uplay.
    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.    … Expand

    It's worse than the worst update of Destiny. Repetitive as hell. No end game. Awful loot. Not even funny with friends. Stupid beyond stupid when a 32 level enemy can kill you with one hit of a golf club (!!!) and you need to stick 20 heavy sniper explosive bullets in his brain to kill him. Avoid.

    I just cannot believe it took more than about 4 years to make the game.
    It's either the devs ran out of budget/time or the director/person in charge does not have passion.

    Rest in peace Tom Clancy. Ubisoft did a **** job even for your posthumous work...

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.    … Expand

And still nothing is done. Players are leaving the game in droves only the botkids are soon left. I have requested a refund at least on the season pass here in GMG though I doubt it.

    An incredible beautiful game graphically, audio and UI wise. You feel you are in New York for real.
    But the game has no meaning as long as the cheat prevention is absent. You will miss half the game because og this. Hence you are stuck with lots of gear you have no use for. The use of aimbots and wallhacks are extreme, and nothing is done to remove it.

    The amount of bugs and glitches in this game would even shame Bethesda. The dark zone is a complete mess, there needs to be more than just the under 160 and above 160 gear score zones.

    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.

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]
