    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

This experiment of having PvP and PvE combined, has failed. If you die in die Dark Zone, you lose so much that you simply rage quit and wait for a game which is worth raging in (looking at you, Dark Souls 3).    … Expand

    There is 1 build in this game; Arms and Stamina stacking.
    The best developers could muster for gameplay was 15 waves of overpowered shotgun snipers.
    The bugs were amazing.. So amazing you dont even need to do the content, you simply grind glitches.

    Me and my mates laster lasted about 3 weeks on this game.. Dont waste your money.

    I gave this game a 7 initially but I have changed my mind as the game is in such a sorry state. It was fun during the initial weeks. The game has gotten a lot worst since then. I still face DELTA and MIKE errors as well as numerous hackers in the DZ. With each patch, the game is becoming more and more terrible; Ubisoft's way of prolonging the game's life is to make good loot as hard toI gave this game a 7 initially but I have changed my mind as the game is in such a sorry state. It was fun during the initial weeks. The game has gotten a lot worst since then. I still face DELTA and MIKE errors as well as numerous hackers in the DZ. With each patch, the game is becoming more and more terrible; Ubisoft's way of prolonging the game's life is to make good loot as hard to come by as possible. On top of that, they seem more interested in punishing people who find and exploit the numerous glitches in the game rather than focusing on improving it and admitting they released a buggy mess. Don't bother with this game until 6 months have passed at least. And absolutely skip the Season Pass. You must be insane if you wish to give Ubisoft more money for stuff they haven't built while they stuff they have built does not work as intended.… Expand

    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    Game can be fun with friends, is boring alone.

    Game is all about fight against a clone army and loot them. In the same 4 quests and 8 missions (or a bit more). Very repetitive.

    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]

    So what is Tom Clancy's The Division? Addictive action RPG in a beautiful coat that grabs you and doesn´t let go. [Issue#263]

    An immensely thrilling action-MMO hybrid, but good for 30 hours rather than the hoped-for 300. [May 2016, p.70]
