If you have played Watch Dogs, or Ghost Recon you have already tried out the gunplay/cover mechanic.. If like me, you have zero interest in pvp, and you absolutely despised the Dark Zone, and further lack of content, than this game isnt for you (us).. Theres occasional npc's to fight in DZ, always with numerous fellow agents around..

    The AI is so dumb, that they will literally walk at you, stand out in the open, and pop out of cover like clock work.. To cover for this, enemies were made bullet sponges.. A dozen rounds to the head, is an easy kill.. Theres also very little variation in enemy archetypes.. Even when donning a different asthetic, they act exactly the same as others.. It makes for very bland gameplay, when the main function is too easy..

    While beautiful (though severely downgraded from what was shown, also becoming the norm with AAA companies) walking the city,its barren! You will encounter occasional npcs fighting over a scrap, or ask you for water, or running in fear for their life of you for seemingly no reason.. Its like walking through "The Last of Us", only this is a shooter, and we want to shoot ****

    The weapons and armor itself servers its purpose, but is very unappealing.. "Upgrades" are only so, in incremental amounts.. 2% less recoils, etc.. Since the game pretends to ground itself in realism (except when in need of excuse) that the guns, and armor arent very "oh cool, new weapon"! It will shoot exactly like the last one you had, probably look almost identical, etc.. Kneepads wont make muh difference, but you may get a puffy coat to change the look vs a hoodie?!

    So-called "rpg".. this is where had issue.. Because there are 8 faces to choose from in the character creator, and theres a talent tree, it apparently classifies itself as rpg..Well.. Not in my book! Theres got to be a compelling narrative, characters, progression, customization, etc.. Theres very little of it here, with a grand total of 26 main story missions.. All replayable, but the side missions are not.. Wheres the longevity here? While playing, its hard to shake the feeling that very large chunks of the game are being with held, to be sold separately, at a later date.. Its painfully dull, and boring to play.. You are allowed 2 active abilities at any given time, which you can also augment, and switch in and out at will.. But the majority of them are, like the rest of the game, uninspired, and dull.. Deploy a Turret, is kinda neat, but another grenade? Group Heal, Riot Shield? Its like there was a QA, and the favored pcs of other games were thrown into a hodgepodge of what works over there, and show horned into a tactical shooter, so it could be labelled a rpg! If this is rpg, its shallow, at best! Theres also little to no meaningful plot decisions, character interaction (That isnt cinematic), theres no real player choice here.. As far as story, its very on rails.. I fail to see where this whole "rpg" element comes from?! I can choose 1 of 8 faces, and theres a skill tree.. Ok.. So not only will 1 in 8 people LOOK the same, everyone will also have exactly the same skills as well? Ok, so just everyone pick 2 different abilities each before this mission.. Fun! Not that youll 'need' them, since its rather straight forward combat.. Some people claim enemies attempt to flank.. What i see is more that they just move toward your general direction.. On a wide street, they may happen to flank.. Mostly though, they stick out stupidly in the open, for no real reason!

    Its no wonder they wouldnt allow pre release reviews.. And i havent even gotten to all the bugs, terrible server issues, lag, texture pop ins and tearing, etc.. Even on consoles this is being reported..

    Which leads me to my next point.. Uplay, is widely known to be bottom barrel software.. Having this game be online only, with this system is terrible.. There is no offline mode, for you to enjoy solo, if your internet fails, you havent paid your bills or, more likely, Uplay goes down.. Why? Hackers? The game is already riddled with them!!! Another wonderful aspect of Dark zone.. And, theres no anti cheat system to boot.. Just "file a report, take a screen shot of the offense".. WTF?!?

    It was over hyped, deliberately with held until release day, bare bones, dull half implemented features.. Yet another Ubisoft let down.. I used to be the biggest AC fan i knew,and even that i can no longer support.. If i had actually paid cash for this game, i would have refunded it it! Thank goodness i went with my gut here, and kept my promise to myself never to purchase another Ubisoft product.. Or EA, Activision, Bethesda for that matter..

    I too want an to scratch that itch i have, for the TPS genre, but this aint it.. Guess its back o another round of Mass Effect.. I no longer support Bioware, but i already own that trilogy atleast..

    Down to its core, the game is underwhelming, very little mission variety, go from A to B and shoot clones of hooded figures, and scavenge for loot until you feel like a conveyor belt worker.

    The solo play is ok, but no challenge, it's always more of the same, unless you pump it up to hard difficulty to feel like it's worth clenching your buttcheeks, but that also gets old fast. The story is..interesting, but still nothing too memorable. You're just cleaning the streets and relive the same patterns like you're the main star in Groundhog Day.

    The map looks bland and quite sterile compared to the trailers in the past, i'm afraid we'll have another case of Destiny with this one.

    The Dark Zone was of little interest to me, but i guess it could be a nice relief from solo grind and boring A to B incursions.

    The loot system is nice and boring at the same time. It all depends on your burnout meter, if you can handle the brief grinding sessions, then more power to you!

    Currently, the 60$ price does not justify the shallow content. If they add more stuff in the future, i hope it's free or at least somewhere in the range of 5 dollars, but something tells me that will not be the case.

    My suggestion: wait several months or maybe an entire year, for the complete edition with all dlcs to come out, maye wait for a sale, because right now this game feels like it's bone dry.

    It's another bland Ubisoft product that still has chance to prove itself. It all depends on the future content.

Ubisoft is just WAY to unpredictable.

    The Division was a games that promised more than it could actually provide. There was a huge hype train for this game and many people considered it as a "modern" version of Destiny. The gameplay is is very fun for the first couple hours until it becomes very repetitive and the graphics are average and definitely way worse than the graphics we saw in all of the trailers at E3 before the game was released. The combat feels like a generic cover-based 3rd person shooter. The voice acting is not that good and sounds very dull. Even at 30fps, the game still has many frame rate drops on consoles and the open world does not feel that "natural" and feels more artificial and fake. It is pretty empty. The character customization is average but not the best. But players can still look unique among others. The game had a great idea but was put in the hands of the wrong developer which is what my opinion is. So much content is being locked out and put in 3 expansions! However, I have hope that with further updates, this game still has potential to be a great game. But for now, this game needs plenty of improvement. Thank you for reading this review! :)    … Expand

    -Interesting variety of weapons
    -Interesting main plotline story although not as engaging as it should really be
    -Grouping can be fun
    -Gunplay is, initially, fun

    Cons:

    -Bugs. Graphical glitches and bugs specific to being in a group like the teleport to your teammate dialogue never going away despite him being right in front of you. Your teammate "moonwalking" in front of you, seeming to never take cover and shooting with the wrong weapon looking like an action figure. Relogging seems to be the only way to fix this.
    -AI is dumb as bricks. They make poor use of cover, grenades and tactics as a whole. Melee enemies will charge you without support of supressing fire from allies. Headshots don't seem to do much. It could be worse, true, but still disappointing, given the hype surrounding this title
    -"Upgrades" don't seem to follow a logical progression and stats on gear seem to be a little too random. I've gotten green level 7-8 guns that weren't as good as my green quality level 3 Poice M4A1 carbine. All I can say is ?????. It makes things more confusing than they need to be. Being used to min-maxing from other games, I can deal with this shortcoming but it's a little annoying.
    -Lag and disconnects. I experienced a lot of lag and disconnects trying to group up but I expect this will be eventually fixed. Still, annoying that it creeped into release.
    -World feels even more lifeless than it needs to be. I understand about the plague, etc but still there's just something missing. You just don't feel invested in trying to make things better for these people. There is little to tug at your emotional strings. If they'd added some non-combat missions where you care for the sick or something like that it would have at least tried to get you more invested in trying to improve things for these people. A missed opportunity on the part of Ubisoft I think.
    -Hacks. I haven't experienced these myself because I am not high enough level to venture into the Dark Zone but it's basically a hack-ridden gank-fest from everything people have described. It kind of runs counter to the lore of the game. Ultra-top-secret government operatives supposedly working towards a common goal murdering each other in cold blood without penalty for loot? How does that make any sense?

    All in all, it's not a bad game but not great either. The inclusion of microtransactions in the game irks me. We already paid full price for the game and there is a DLC pack that costs almost as much as the game itself. The game hit the top sellers list on Steam and probably on other vendors like GMG, EBGames, etc. Microtransactions were not required to make them any more cash yet they just couldn't resist.

    At this point I can only give it a 5/10. It's ok for short-term fun but I question f the longevity of the game's appeal. It's like a more boring version of Destiny, the other shooter that also tries to be an MMO.    … Expand

    Most "main" missions seem exciting so far. You can choose to play any "main" mission at higher difficulty for better rewards but I couldn't do it while playing solo and with the lvl of weapons I had.

    No bonus gear because vendor is broke or something, support says they are working on it. Not surprised with game with this scope but disappointed. By the time we get the gear it might be below our level except for the appearance gear.

    World of Warcraft, Diablo3 and SW TOR had worse issues at their initial launch. I am surprised that the servers have been so stable. (so far)

    Seems lots of different things to collect if your into that. (I'm not)

    One thing I must **** about is the lack of character customization. You get 8 face choices, with some minor adjustments. And that's about it. So you will be shooting your clone when you PVP. This was a big disappointment for me.

There is a lot of missions, bosses, PVP, underground farming, etc. Although almost all activities, all missions in "The Division" are pretty much the same - go from A to B by killing everything in your way (solo or with group) it's still quite fun for me.
    However, I believe this game is worth buying only for those who are true enthusiastic gamers and have a lot of free time, because "The Division" is very time consuming game and it takes quite a while to get top end gear. And that's the problem with this game - you HAVE to have best gear if you want to get maximum fun of it, because without best weapons and gear sets you will do no damage at all, you will die quickly and you will be pissed off because of it in no time.
    In conclusion I would recommend this game, but only if you have much time to play it, because it demands a lot of grinding to acquire better gear and to get you among the best.    … Expand

    The Pve part is great, engaging story and it's fun upgrading your toons. Where is suffers is to remain competitive you have to go into PVP in "the dark zone" where it's a griefers paradise. And when the Rogue types kill you it's bye bye to experience, money and keys. If the game had a pve version of the dark zone this would be a 9 or 10 game. As it is, I'd recommend you pass on it.

    Technically it was great, with good performance, visuals, audio, voice work and gameplay, it's a very well made game and just solid overall. It did get a little repetitive towards the end but in general the quests were quite varied and I never felt particularly bored. The only real technical issue I had was in the PvP DLC Last Stand which didn't run anywhere near as well as the main game, often dropping under 60fps whereas the main game never did.

It is very enticing up to that end game content (again a week probs) and you will enjoy it with a group or on your own. You're looking at about a weeks play perhaps sooner if you have a high level friend that wants to race you through. I don't recommend that as you become a mere spectator in missions as his level dictates how strong the enemies are.

    So it's been a few days and you're at end game.

    There is plenty of customisation available to make the agent you desire. You can be an in your face shotgun playa or you can hang back and provide support to the team with great heals or big damage bombs. Much like any MMO there are a lot of build customisation options. I'd go as far to say more options than a usual MMO, build wise. Perhaps solely because no cookie cutter builds are really documented as yet. It's great but with the lacklustre controls that are the result of a console port it's easy to get stuck on the cover you intended to jump with guns blazing enough to eliminate the enemy twice over... Instead you're still stuck on the front bumper of a burnt out car saying 'one sec please' just gotta get unstuck by this car.. gonna jump right over.. wait no i'm still stuc on the other side but just wanting to separate and I got this... one sec no on the bonnet now just gimme another moment man.. actually can you please tell that grenade guy not to send his 13th grenade because I am still stuck and really that isn't fair. Who takes 13 grenades into a fight.

    This game is enticing much in the way the Diablo 3 was. In fact it is a very similar game except for 3rd person / first person combat style. It does incorporate PVP however they've actually made attempts to balance it and you'll find yourself compelled to fill that gap in your item list just to compete. There's no auction house so it does feel good when you get an upgrade. Just know you'll fee bored with repetition until you finally get the item that fills a gap and can actually be used.

    It's an average game, simple entertainment for the simple mind. Division is a typical AAA product, on the outside nice and shiny, on the inside mundane and primitive systems reveal themselves.

    Carrot on a stick: Basically the whole game revolves around you searching for loot in order to be stronger than your enemies, there no other real substance right now, but this will probably be covered by all the pay DLC that they have planned out for the 1 year to finish their game and provide more worthwhile content, or they deliver a batch of more stale Fast Food, we will see.

    This gear dependency alone makes PVP a chore to balance and to set foot in as casual gamers, let alone enjoy the Dark Zone with it's severe penalties to engage in PVP. It's like the game highly encourages you to stick to pve or create a second character where you can cut away the risk of losing loot.

    I can understand when people enjoy the simple things, but this turn off brain & shoot everything game shows me that the AAA industry has no balls or are simply not willing to release something really worthwhile. This is basically the Destiny formula in a modern setting, with a nice carrot on a stick as core mechanic to keep people interested. I already see streamer after streamer getting bored from the game, since it's really all the same over and over.

    Wait for a sale where they sell everything for 30 bucks. imo the game is not worth more than that.    … Expand

    What started as a 12/10 game has quickly devolved into repetitive nonsense and a sense of violent anger towards my monitor at the lack of progression.

You are part of an elite government military    What started as a 12/10 game has quickly devolved into repetitive nonsense and a sense of violent anger towards my monitor at the lack of progression.

    I suppose we can start with the good. I live in NYC and the map is extremely realistic. The story is believable: A bioterrorist unleashes a deadly virus that quickly ravages New York City. You are part of an elite government military organization called The Division that's sent in to restore order, mainly by shooting the same hooded/masked red names until you hit max level. Then you do it some more.

    The weapons are nice and there are a lot of them, though due to balance issues, you'll probably only find yourself using a few. Each weapon has a few mod slots where you can improve your magazine or scope to better suit your style of play. However build diversity is limited due to poor balance. For example, for some reason you have an ability that shoots an explosive device and the damage of that item is capped at 250k and has a long cooldown. Meanwhile your sniper rifle can reach upwards of a million damage and that has no cooldown except how well you can aim. It makes no sense.

    Leveling up is extremely repetitive. You progress through leveled zones and every few zones there is a main mission that progresses the story, basically the only saving grace of the level up process. Between that every zone has the same side quests that you repeat over and over again until you hate yourself.

    Once you actually hit the max, there's not much else to do. You can repeat the missions you've already done, just on a harder difficulty, meaning the bad guys will begin to shrug off 100 or more rounds to the head with ease. These challenge missions reward you with some gear and crafting materials to craft the stronger stuff. It doesn't take a long to obtain a decent set of gear. Once you're at that point, the grind begins to obtain the very best, and I do mean grind.

    There is a resource called Division Tech that you need to craft powerful equipment which can only be obtained in the Dark Zone, mainly through chests that are scattered around. Each chest has an inexplicably long respawn timer meaning you could run around the Dark Zone for hours and not even find an unopened one. Furthermore, Division Tech comes in 3 flavors, green, blue, and yellow, and only the yellow ones are worthwhile. So not only do you have to be lucky enough to find a chest, you'll have to pray to Lord GabeN that you get a yellow. There's no refinement system currently in the game to refine green to blue or blue to yellow. Weird.

    Now the Dark Zone is the PvPvE area that the devs have implemented, touting it as a new and exciting PvP experience. This is neither new nor exciting. It's essentially world PvP, a concept that has existed for decades. Also noteworthy is that world PvP frequently devolves into players griefing other players and The Division does not disappoint. It is also not exciting as should you choose to engage other players, you'll be highlighted to the entire world. Everyone will be able to see where you are. If they are nearby, they'll see you through walls and other obstacles. There's even a distance tracker so they'll always know the exact distance between you two up to 150 meters. It doesn't make for exciting PvP play, nor is there any structured PvP in the game. The Dark Zone is it, and as the game progresses further and the more veteran players obtain better gear, the lack of content outside the Dark Zone will relegate these players to the Dark Zone to slaughter newer and/or undergeared players to seek their enjoyment. This will not help the longevity of the game.

    Again, balance is an issue. Certain weapons are rendered obsolete. For example, even though there's a plethora of sniper rifles to choose from, you should only be using one: the M1A. It fires as fast as you can click and the damage rivals that of its slower, bolt action, and supposedly powerful cousins. You'd be mad to use something else. There's also a skill called Survivor Link which makes you and your party immune to all crowd control, near immune to all damage, and gives you a speed boost. The only counter to Survivor Link is Survivor Link (or to run and hide) and when the only counter to a skill is that very skill, it's indicative of a major balance problem.

    There are bugs galore, some minor and some gamebreaking. A lot of the time your stats page will not display your correct stats. Sometimes NPC dialogue will become inaudible. Infinite loading screens will completely prevent you from playing the game. There's also a lot of cheaters, who apparently aren't even banned permanently. If you are caught cheating, you receive a 3 day ban.

    All in all, The Division suffers from Star Wars: Battlefront syndrome. The developers have created a beautiful world void of any meaningful content. The stuff they are planning will be locked behind multiple paid DLC. It's truly a sad case for a game that absolutely has so much potential.    … Expand

    The map is divided by level and that may take the exploration factor away, your qyests will also be go here get "x" object and return, main quest are a bit longer.
    Enemies are also not a strong point in this game, you wll be fighting the same guys over and over again, with an occasional boss only being a stronger version of the the usual mobs.

    Put simply the game is just repetitive. Every mission just consists of shooting waves of enemies, it's the same thing every time, kill a few weak enemies and then take out some bosses. There's no variety to the game, nothing which makes you want to play it more than 20 hours or so.

    Despite the large map it just feels dead, everywhere you go looks and feels the same, and NPCs are just the same copied and pasted people everywhere. It seems like there's so much area to explore, yet there's nothing to actually obtain from exploring. Unless you have friends to play the game with it's an incredibly lonesome experience, and even with friends after about 10 missions you'll be bored of shooting thugs in hoodies.

    Performance on PC also isn't great. Whilst I've had no technical issues so to speak the requirements to run the game are ridiculous. I'm using a GTX 980Ti and have to put everything on low/medium just to stay above 60fps, for those of you with 100+Hz monitors this game is practically impossible to run at that refresh rate without a crazy SLI setup.

    Overall the game is alright, just nothing worthy of the hype surrounding its release. I'd recommend only getting this game if it's on sale, or if you genuinely enjoy just shooting waves of enemies endlessly.    … Expand

    Now here we have it, a classic Ubisoft product: good looking and simply boring.

    +graphics. Yea, they nailed the graphics with this one, even if they downgraded, it still looks good.
    +atmosphere. You can easily get immersed in the desolate streets and you can feel the chaos caused by the viral infection.
    + the audio has some nice synthy vibes, reminds me a bit of John Carpenter's 80s flicks.

    ~ gunplay and gameplay in general. It feels responsive and really satisfying. The cover based system is more of a neutral for me, i got pretty fed up with it in Gears of War, so it's nothing new here. Heck, i think even Mass Effect had a more fluid cover system.

    ~ story is really not speaking to me. It feels like a filler, a "nice to have" fragment that keeps you somewhat motivated to push from A to B.

    ~bugs and glitches, more of a neutral stance with this one, because they will probably get fixed soon, but still, it would be nice if you stopped from falling into the map once every 2 hours or so.

    - mission variety is lacking and repetition is mind numbing. I keep hearing from a lot of people that it has a lot of content. Yea, more of the same is technically a lot of content, but the quality of said content is thrown out the window. This is where you will get most of your godawful Destiny flashbacks. It's quantity over quality in this segment. There are a few types of side missions that follow the same repeating patterns until you feel sick to your stomach.

    -/+ PvP. Not much of a pvp person myself, i guess it could be a nice change of scenery for some people, i pesonally don't really care, unless i can get a few friends together and just explore the DZ for other types of loot.

    - crafting is useless. You can get better stuff from shops. It's a waste and a constant grind that i cannot stand in a game of this caliber.
    - character customization is shallow. I like to spend a bit of time to fool around with my character's looks, but there are not too many options here. It's a bit tiresome to see players that are nothing more than walking mirrors. I expected more out of this feature. Same problem is with the enemy npcs. They all look like xeroxed gang members, with very few exceptions. This is one of those things that break immersion.

    All in all, this game looks good, sounds good, but it's bland as hell.
    Very little depth and almost no variation, no innovation, nothing special to write home about.
    I give this game a 6.5, it still has a lot of potential for the near future, but right now it is NOT worth 60$. No way.

    Also, to the people giving this a perfect 10: you are being ridiculous.
    I keep seeing these flimsy arguments like "CoD kids should look elsewhere." It's the tunnel vision fanboys that give this game more bad rep, praising mediocrity into the high heavens and getting buttblasted over honest criticism. I think people need to be more vocal and more constructive with their criticism, otherwise we'll keep seeing the same boring patterns in future gaming.    … Expand

    The Division is an odd mix of an ARPG Lootershooter and an MMO, without ever truly being either due to a woeful lack of meaningful character customization and loot. The best description of the game really is a shell -- because it could have so many great things, but instead it gives you 3 and you do them over and over for 30 levels in pve, and 50 or so of them in pvp.

    The pve mode is enjoyable, but prepare to do a lot of the same things over and over with a different voice telling you what you're doing. 5-6 side quest missions per area with a different voice over in each area, and a main-story-ish mission per area... and when I say main story, I mean something vaguely linked to the last thing you did in the area to try and save the city.

    Pvp is incredibly lackluster, and suffers from typical problems -- no balance between weapons and skills leading to a dominant weapon type and skill set, oh.. and it only really exists in the "dark zone". Sure, it sound ominous but it really means about 8 blocks worth of area you have to repeat kill stuff in for 50 levels. Yes. 50.

    End of the day Destiny is a far better game, but it lacks the gritty ambiance of The Division -- which on systems that can support 4k resolutions looks fairly amazing. The problem with the game is what rests on the inside, and in that space there just isn't that much to do.    … Expand

The perks and talents affect your character with the all the talents being different with some being better than others. The perks are unlocked by upgrading you Base of Operations. The guns and armor can all have different perks and that is nice as you will hardly ever find the same piece with the same buffs but there are so many that it is difficult to completely customize your character the way you want as there can sometimes be to much to control. The "story" mission are fun and interesting with all of them being different but it lacks interesting characters on the "good" side with some of the "bad" guys being unique and interesting. The world it is in has a very depressing and ominous feel to it when you discover things like mobile recordings and echo's. The collectibles are cool and give a back story to a game that has no story but there is so much to collect that sometimes it can get annoying when the next one is on the other side of the map.

    Next is PVP which isn't the best but can sometimes have fun moments. However, the problems are numerous and even with the recent patches there are still huge problems. I feel like enemies don't spawn outside of landmarks which forces you to fight extremely hard enemies that are like Chuck Norris on speed. Also, don't bother going in solo as every enemy will kill you in seconds and you can be an easy target for rogue agents. The drops in general are OK but I find it annoying that I get greens or blues when I have full purples as there is no point in picking them up as you can only carry 7-9 items that you should save for purples or yellows. This game is OK but there are many problems with it and the problems are easy to fix with a few patches but we shouldn't have to wait 1-2 months before we get the game we were meant to get. It is a trend that could severely damage the industry.

    the scaling for number of players seems well done on missions that encourage matchmaking.
    shooters with rpg elements generally are fun games.
    the gunplay is pretty good

    however, for me it just doesn't all come together to make a great game.
    the graphics, whilst pretty, just aren't very exciting. both characters and environments are constrained by 'realism' - ie, greyness. which just isn't very interesting. yes there's a variety of different cosmetic items you can wear! but... what's the point? you don't notice them on other players, so why would they notice them on you?

    the weapons all end up feeling the same, with the exception of sniper rifles and shotguns. there is generally little to choose between smgs, assault rifles and lmgs apart from the their dps stat. which is the only real difference between the gun i started with and the gun i'm using now. obviously, because its 'realistic' all the guns look basically the same too.

    the story, so far at least, feels very lacklustre - mostly because it seems you start already knowing all about the outbreak! there's no mystery - you know that some mad scientist type put the plague together and infused it in dollar bills that he then spent on Black Friday. There's no real urgency to finding a cure/vaccine, since it seems very straightforward to not catch it anyway.

    the gameplay is very repetitive. every mission is just 'go here kill some people'. though there are elements of hacking and investigation they don't entail you actually doing it - they entail you standing in the correct spot and pressing F. this wouldn't be such a problem if the environments and enemies were more varied (a la destiny), but they're just not.
    the bullet sponge enemies are also not fun, and fit in with the overall feel of the game. with so much of the game seeming to attempt realism, why have boss enemies that take hundreds of shots to the head to kill? i can forgive this in Destiny, due to the futuristic/alien aesthetic, but in The Division it just feels silly and out of place.

    the bugs - well it wouldn't be a modern AAA title without bugs, would it. whether its that you can't start the game properly (sound plays, but no video) or you fall through the floor, you'll be sure to encounter something.

    if you like destiny... stick to destiny. i was hoping this would be a suitable PC replacement for destiny, but its just not.    … Expand

    (I'd say it's a 7.5 out of 10)
    After a full 2 day live stream I've gotten pretty far in the game. At first I agreed with the comments about this game being repetitive and would have given it a 5 out of 10 but this is definitely one of those games where it gets better much later into the game.

    As you uncover more of the story you start fighting against tougher enemies and the objectives start to change a bit. It still suffers from the majority of the missions being similar but I will say the game is a lot of fun once you've settled in.

    Story as you expect from Tom Clancy games is pretty good. The shooting controls feel just fine for a 3rd person shooter, with the option of going 1st person using scopes. You can mod weapons, collect gear, change your appearance and build up your skills.

    Matchmaking makes the game a lot of fun, and I recommend putting it on harder difficulty settings cause it's too easy on normal. The map isn't too big but it's big enough. But you should know this is the very definition of a cover shooter. You even have abilities that let you create cover. Taking a lot of hits will kill you very fast, but if you use cover and use your abilities optimally you won't encounter too much difficulty.

    All in all it's a fun game to play with some friends... but I would recommend maybe waiting for it to go on sale or wait till they add more content. It isn't breaking new ground but it's not completely unoriginal. It's good, not great but good.

    Ubisoft's reputation for repetition will only get worse thanks to this game. It sucks cause their games are visually impressive and they're well designed too. I just wish they would put a little more creativity into the objectives.    … Expand

Many design mistakes in the mechanics prevent from really enjoying your progress (ie. unable to use good DZ gear unless you are DZ level 30 even despite you are let's say still at normal level 15 or 20 or anything else). I hope endgame is not that dull as getting there.
    From technical point of view - I can;t say a single bad word - works with no flaws, no hangs or sudden fps drops, I once got stuck in a box and the game detected it and fixed my position right away.

    The story is okay but doesn't really have a conclusion in the game.

    The integration of MP into the single player is also a pain in the neck. To enter the dark zone you need support and that is where the best loot is. Plus you end up meeting some hacker who grief kills you constantly.

    Mission variety is also lacking - it is pretty much kill everything and the "detective" elements are totally wasted.

    On the PC the controls are also a bit janky, most of my deaths happened as a result of not being able to get out of cover when a grenade was flung or failing to double tap the heal button quickly enough..    … Expand

    The game is beautiful, and I enjoyed the mechanics. The Dark Zone (PvP) grind is unbearable. There's too many exploits, bugs, and hackers to enjoy PvP. Due to this, the end-game is not enjoyable. Will they fix this in the future? Possibly, but I don't see the hackers going anywhere.

I'm not sure how they actually thought this game through. Obviously, they've spent a very serious amount of time of creating New York City and adding all the details. All the trash and all the chaos right within the details. If you ask me, I want to play this game, when this mayhem was happening, not after!! Playing the game, I can't get over the feeling that I missed all the action, I'm just there as a clean up crew. The settings and the visuals really tells about a terrible event taking place months (or years?) before my arrival.
    Now..onto the game mechanics and gameplay. While the idea about the game itself may work on paper or in a book, it just doesn't. While having all the details and brand new game engine, which seems like something I want to be utilized for more games, instead of the decade old cry-engine or unreal engine; despite all the details and back story, the game feels dull and boring, including the settings.
    Once you seen 3-4 streets, you've seen them all. Plastic bags, broke down cars, garbage and body bags. There just isn't anything spectacular to see or experience.
    Same with the gameplay. New players hoping to experience something better after 3-4 hours, are in for a sour disappointment, that the entire game will be, just like the first 2-3 hours. Run around the streets and shoot hoodies or guys with a flamethrowers. It just becomes an endless grind, especially with the side missions.
    Upgrades are extremely dull. I just can't get excited about a new baseball hat. Especially, if it doesn't even do anything, it's just barbie-doll dressing, it serves no function. Weapon mods- giving me 3% increase in stability and such - are so pointless, that I don't care if I have it or not. I mean..3% or 5% does it even matter, when you shoot 100 bullets into a boss, so now instead of a 100, you shoot 97? Think about it. You disassemble 5 guns to have 5 weapons parts and from the 5 weapon parts you create one weapon mod, that gives you an upgrade, that is essentially equal to nothing?
    I just can't fathom what the developers were thinking about while making this game. Really I can't. Just bad ideas on top of bad ideas. A waste of resources, a waste of time to create a a mediocre shooter on a next gen engine, with a lack of comprehension of what makes a good gameplay. Like, they never made a game before, or they lack an insight about what people think is fun and impressive and pleasing. Like the developers were robots, which work by a conveyor belt in a factory and the only fun they can relate to is doing the same thing over and over with no end in sight.
    I won't even mention the "Dark Zone". I tried it, it's either full of hackers or just as boring and empty as the rest of the game area. Houses and streets and garbage, with hoodies and various level bullet sponge bosses roaming around.
    I hate to say, but after leveling 15 times, the most fun I had was shooting at various objects (car windows, construction site cones etc) and see how they react or brake.
    I will be fair. Credit is given where it's due, and the game gets a 5, instead of 1. Why?
    Because, obviously they spent some crazy amount of time on the graphics and settings. So thumbs up for the game engine devs and whoever worked on the details. Unfortunately giving credit ends there. The rest of the game could have been made in 1997, when mouse aiming and collecting items were probably a thing.

    The game try to fit in two categories who are in contrast: it could be a tactical third person shooter but the extremely semplified enemy AI doesn't require extreme coordination to get rid of hordes of standing-by peons shrouded with hoodies and scarfs which, apparently, are made of some mystical material that absorb damage as if you were shooting with a NERF gun. This because the developers felt to blend in MMO or even MMO-RPG elements. But is The division a MMO-RPG? With a poor character customization , both aesthetically (a pool of 8 faces to choose from) and technically (few skills to choose from and no talent system so far), and non existing decisions to be taken , all set in a completely ignorable story in a nearby future, with no particular enemy , or no point in doing what you are doing if not for the sake of doing something, i would say "No". I'd also like to add that there is no way of crouching if not behind cover, no way to crawl, no stealth, no melee attacks,the little interaction with the surrounding (the above stated "crouching behind cover" and thats it) feels clumsy.

    Is this game worth 60€? I feel the answer is negative. The actual state of the game doesn't have the variety that would hook you for more than 20 hours. The developers showed a promising planning for the year to come so maybe the game will gain interesting aspects during the course of 2016. If you are really into this genre of game, although i can't really imagine what genre of game this is, i would suggest to wait for Steam sale or some G2A deal.

    I give this game a 6/10 while hoping that future releases will add contents and variety to what seems a dull game.    … Expand

So def a game to play with peers. Boss fights are tough.. take thought.. not just run and gun as you will get one shot in cases. You can level your base up which unlucks new skills and perks. There is a so called talent tree which can be dps, tank, and heals essentially. This is the most satisfying shooter I have played in years and by far most satisfying MMO style shooter.

    I like the concept of games that rely heavily on a loot system, and Division certainly offers that. It also offers a great detailed city, with pretty graphics and stuff to explore (I mean, you can listen to lost mobile phones for hours alone).

    My main issue with this game is the gameplay itself. The game tries it's best to be realistic but kinda half-asses it all the way through. Granted, my impressions of Division might be tainted a bit because I've sunk quite a lot of hours in Warframe last month, the game that has a really vague concept of cover simply because you have no time nor reason to sit in it since you can jump fifteen meters in the air, then glide in bullet time firing akimbo shotguns before impaling someone to the ground with the sword twice the size of you. After that the Division, the game where "take cover" is bound to the LARGEST button on the keyboard by default seems like an unpleasant change of pace. Oh sure, it's meant to be realistic, but did it make the game more fun? Unlike Warframe (yes I will keep bringing the comparsion up) where movement is crucial to your survival, you spent half of your time staring at beautifully detailed cracks in a traffic barrier.

    Guns. While there are a lot of them, they all feel the same (since all of them pretty much fire different variations of bullets). Sure, games like BF4 offer a lot of customizable weapons that fire variations of bullets, but since BF4 is an FPS, the gun always takes the major part of your screen, you see the chamber and reload animations in all their glory. In the Division there's no such feeling. Sure, the guns might be rendered and animated very well, but you see so little of them and the fact that every gun turns into a peashooter if you see an enemy with a slightly higher number next to his health bar does not help. Seriously, Ubisoft, why couldn't you throw in a grenade launcher? There's so much military-grade **** littered throughout NYC, surely there must be one or two M320s in the pile.

    Same problem goes for customizing guns. Yeah, you can put a sight on your weapon, but you will always peep at an unsuspecting enemy with the same third-person reticule nonetheless firing the same hitscan bullets.

    I want to like this game, I really do, and it's not a bad game by any means (except for the atrocious cover system). But it seems unnecessary slow (blame Warframe for this one), and I don't see a single reason it was anything but improved if it was in first-person.    … Expand

    Would have been a lot better if the darkzone was co-op vs npcs instead of PvP because obviously, that was going to cause hackers to appear and naturally, they did making it virtually unplayable. This was a learning experience for Ubisoft and sadly wrecked the Division from becoming the game it promised to be.

    Its worth playing for the single player experience for about $10, thats about it.

The graphics, world, weapons and sound effects are all great. The world is incredibly detailed and depicts a populated city after an apocalyptic fallout very well. I personally found the combat fun, especially with friends.

    Unfortunately, the game has some major short comings. The biggest one for me is the AI's utter stupidity. The game uses an aggro system where the AI will focus on one of your team mates over the rest, which is a fun mechanic. Except the AI are terrible at changing focus onto somebody else. It's not uncommon for the AI's to completely ignore you even when you're a couple feet beside them, gunning them down for several seconds. Enemies can also be suppressed behind cover by shooting at them for a bit. Which again is a great mechanic. Except they'll often remain turtled behind cover, doing absolutely nothing as you stand beside them, slowly shooting away their health bar. And lastly, they love climbing on top of vehicles, whilst being mowed down, for no discernible reason.

    The other aspect I found incredibly disappointing is the lack of story. The story missions don't have any cinematics and since your character barely ever talks, most of the dialogue is just people telling you what to do. There's a problem that needs fixing, you fix it, fight a dull boss battle because his aggro AI gets bugged and that's it. Most of the story telling is done through phone recordings and 'echos' which are 3D freeze frames of an event that you can go around clicking on echo people to get voice recordings of what was happening at the time. (Which I found really boring). The game has very few cinematics and most of them tend to be just listening to some person talk about problems that need fixing. There's very little drama or action. Some of the best cinematics are brief clips of video footage taken at various places in the city, which seem to have been added as an after thought. The 'bosses' are also very dull and generic. They don't really come off as real people so much as just placeholders for something to fight against.

    So all in all, the combat could have been better, but I still found it a lot of fun for the most part. I wish the story had been executed with more cinematics, rather than voice recordings.    … Expand

    Tom Clancy's The Division is one of the very rare third person shooter RPG games in the market, also one of the most repetitive.

    1 – GENERAL

    The Division is a 3rd person shooter with RPG elements. We play in a post apocalyptical Manhattan that was caught by a human engineered disease that wiped almost the entire population.

    The Division is a 3rd person shooter with RPG elements. We play in a post apocalyptical Manhattan that was caught by a human engineered disease that wiped almost the entire population. I've always asked myself why this sort of stuff always happens in Manhattan. Poor people...

    The graphics are quite impressive, I must say. I do not know the city, but all stuff that I've seen seemed quite close to what I imagine. It seems real. It's not common for me to get this kind of feeling. Buildings, streets, cars, people, animals... I quite like how all those elements were mixed to create this world.

    All the sounds set together create an immersive environment to walk around. NPCs have a proper amount of voicelines, and sometimes we pass by them and they are making a proper dialogue. We are quite able to sense desperation. When we see someone in need and we are able to help him, it's quite rewarding, at least it was to me.

    The only sound I do not like a lot was the one from the guns. It can be quite accurate, but it seems quite "short" like it was a paintball gun. Despite that, I guess I just had low tier weapons, and maybe that's not the case in the better ones.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    The gunplay is based on a cover mechanism, that I usually do not like. Most time it reminded me of Spec Ops: The Line, a game that I've loved, and probably that's the reason it gets me playing more at first. Glad I did it since the mechanics are very well balanced. We can do missions in co-op, up to 4 players, and it was quite easy to find players from my level to join me in any mission. With proper tactics, the game becomes quite fun and engaging. When 4 players are able to work together some very interesting moves can be done, and sometimes we get a great sensation of accomplishment when we are able to defeat some stronger boss. NPCs are some sort of bullet sponges. Probably it would be possible to make them harder to beat without using that, but I admit is not the best system in the world... it's ok.

    Unfortunately, we spend tons of time walking around, and that gets quite annoying after a while.

    Main missions are balanced and exciting, but you will spend most of your time doing side missions to find loot, gear and level up your character. That's not optional. You have to do those or you will not be able to progress in the main plot since the NPCs get stronger way faster than you. For me, both of these aspects are the worst part of the game.

    I got stuck in the main plot quite fast, and I was forced to start doing all the side missions suited to my character level... ohhh, and those are standalone missions... all to spend some time doing the main missions with 3 other guys.

    I'm not entirely sure about the replay value of the singleplayer. I suppose that after you beat the game, and since you are forced to do so many side missions, there's not much interest in playing again, except if you are a completionist.

    3 – CONCLUSION

    This is just a first impressions video. I've not tested many things, like multiplayer. I was not very tempted to try it also, I think the risk is bigger than the reward, and I wanted to give my best at the main mission.

    I loved the way they have implemented the co-op. It's quick and easy to find someone to play with us.

    People that have played with me was friendly, but the community on Reddit was not very talkative. Maybe since the game is mostly singleplayer, I do not know.

    Without a sale, the price is quite high, but with a sale, the game is totally worth it just for the singleplayer alone. I think most of the initial bugs are now gone. It may not be the best game in the world, but I think most of the criticism is not deserved at this point.

    Very good game!    … Expand

    Good UI Design

    Game can get a bit repetitive at points, because of the low variety in mission types.
    Controls are mediocre (no manual crouching, forced cover system.)

    Character design/creation is of abysmal quality, with just a few very generic options.
    expect to come across tons of people looking exactly like you.

    Character clothing, even though there are many options,
    most of them are simply recolors/retextures of the same item and feel very lackluster.
    (no long coats, cool facemasks or puting your hoodie up)

    No open world mutiplayer, if you play this game alone without friends, you will only see people inside the safehouse.

    Dont bother getting any of the DLC , its not worth the money.

    Free giveaway by Ubisoft on the Uplay store so that being said. Nothing amazing about this game beyond wandering around a massive city. Not really much interaction within the city really beyond loot, shoot and climb/descend a few ladders.

    The Division looks almost as nice as the Division 2. I do really like the snowy theme of the game. Wow this game is more unforgiving than the sequel.

    Whoa the bad guys are so accurate even at distance with like only pistols. Even more annoying they do that gangsta pose while shooting. So the bad guys are not even aiming for crap, but have dead eye sniper accuracy.

    When I am done with Division 2 (only over a hundred hours in ). I will come back to this one as it is obviously more of challenge due to the dead aim A.I. I'd say Division 2 is more casual friendly to start out the Division experience for sure.

    On revisiting I got into my rhythm. I only die when doing dumb stuff or not paying attention. Oh yeah I think I like this one more than two now. From the UI, the city, the story, the combat. I like the sniping better, but the close up hit detection and general hit boxes not so much.

    This has some more nicer noticeable details over D2. Like the physics with general rubbish and litter. D2 looked more static and less interactive. D1 one also seems to have more verticality than D2. WIth lots of climbing and roof firefights. Even NPC people wandering around the city go into scavenging animations. So overall D1 has a more natural organics feel to it all than D2.

    Got to level 30 and beat the story mode and yes soloing is doable. The way the Division games work after story mode is all about the chase for the better gear, pvp and Darkzone which doesn't really interest me.    … Expand

But the game itself was not bad and even interesting. What is snow-covered new York during the holidays. Me as a lover of single games, quite liked the idea of online, so you can play alone or take on a few missions, players from the car selection, if you don't have a team. Just like, a large number of different equipment crafting system, upgrades, but the skill system is particularly scarce and can not identify which branch to play. It is necessary to highlight first impressions of "the Dark zone", where everything is much more fun and more serious and there definitely needs friends who will cover for you otherwise you'll die alone, but there is a downside, the constant arrival of enemy waves and appearing out of nowhere. Don't know how much is enough of this game in terms of hours, but I would've easily played about 25+, the gameplay is of course repetitive and can be boring even after a couple of hours.

    Наверное самая отличительная игра Ubisoft от всех прочих. Много хейта словила игра в свой адрес, прошлась все по тому же пути, рендер ролика на выставке. Но сама игра получилась не плохой и даже интересной. Чего стоит заснеженный Нью Йорк в период праздников. Мне как любителю сингл игр, вполне понравилась идея онлайна, так-как вы можете играть в одиночку или выбрать на пару миссий, игроков из авто подбора, если у вам нет своей команды. Так же понравилось, большое количество разной экипировки, системы крафта, апгрейдов, но вот система навыков скудная и особо выделить не могу, за какую ветку играть. Стоит выделить первые впечатления от "Темной зоны", где все намного веселей и серьезней и вот там точно нужны товарищи, которые прикроют вас иначе сгинете в одиночку, но есть и минус, постоянное прибытие врагов волнами и появления из неоткуда.

    This game takes place in New York and even though I've never been to NYC i still got a good idea of the sense of scale of a big city with the design of the map in The Division. This city felt dense, it felt live in and alive even though most people have left or died from the pandemic. The environment was well designed with the side streets having a few cars scattered around yet the main arteries are jam packed with abandoned cars giving the impression that there was lots of panic and chaos. Also the streets had lots of luggage, garbage, checkpoints, and random messages and signs around that gave me lots to look at and immerse myself with, there was great story telling with the environment alone.

    For the most part the guns felt okay at best, i really enjoyed the LMGs, but as someone who enjoys snipers, the sniper rifles in this game felt so weak and just not like a sniper at all as did some of the assault riles, the main mechanic which is gun fighting felt somewhat unsatisfying and it could definitely be worked on for future releases. One mechanic i did like was the cover system, it was a bit gears-like but more refined, i loved the indication system for where you move from cover to cover and maps out your course, it took a bit to see that cover was crucial but once i did the game became much easier to play, but if you hit heal button while trying to flee your character glitches out and just stands there like a fool to be killed that was somewhat annoying.

    I'll end by talking a bit about the enemies in the game and this is where the game has it's faults. From the beginning to almost the end you fight the same hoodie blue jean thugs with the random super armour enemy thrown in to spice things up, and at the end it's just all super armour enemies. It was becoming a bit stale how as you rank and get these amazing guns and good loot but all you go up against are just higher level hoodie guys, and it was getting somewhat ridiculous how i was just emptying multiple clips into a hoodie thug just because he's a level 20.

    From the amazing atmosphere of all the skyscrapers, thick snow storms and great loot to get i enjoyed this game and give it a good rating, but just barely good because the brainless bullet sponges almost did it for me, regardless this game won me over and i can't wait to play The Division 2.    … Expand

The absurd bar of entry in the multiplayer, repetitive missions/encounters, 60% of my time was spent running around, and fast traveling, A.I can be really dumb, and maybe more I missed. But I still enjoyed it. New York here, is amazing. It's barren, cold, and unsafe due to the Dollar Flu. Never really felt boring to look around. The combat, it's a mixed bag. Unlike Outriders, cover will actually be necessary. The first combat encounter will emphasize this, standing out in the open is not a good idea, at all! The cover system is fine, works pretty well, and is a moderate annoyance at worst. I don't like that you can heal instantly. I thought D2 did it better where you had to take time to do it and you were very vulnerable. Gunplay is pretty nice, the recoil makes sense, the sound design is pretty neat, and the impact is noticeable. Enemy variety, is unfortunately lacking here. There are generic rioters, the cleaners with flamethrowers attached to them, which will force you out of close range, and need to take them down from a distance. Rikers don't feel much different from normal rioters. I said A.I can be really dumb, and sometimes it is. But the enemies do flank you from time to time, and can create interesting encounters depending on where you're fighting. Now of course, the loot, basically the only reason to play this genre. It's great, especially when you finally get to move to a higher loot tier. The mods are a nice way to slightly alter your weapons, and aren't insanely complicated. The skills are pretty nice, and can be used to compliment your build. And build flexibility, is at its best here. Loadouts in this game can be used to save a certain build and can be changed when out of combat in an instant. This applies to armor, guns, and skills. It's especially useful when needing the right tool for the right job. Now... The always online bs is a bad practice. Give us an option to play offline. PLEASE. There are so many things wrong with this idea, crashing servers, screwing over console players with no ps plus or xbox live gold, annoying players, the list goes on. And for what? So I guess I need to talk about the story, and characters. Not interested. Not bad, just don't really care. Borderlands 2 is the only game that got me interested. So I guess that's it. Love it or hate it, the Division is something unique, a unique dumpster fire, or a unique game that's not terrible.… Expand

    Primero lo que destacó de este juego. Tiene un post game increíblemente grande, a mi me ha parecido súper divertido con lunas misiones muy dinámicas y que no te vas a aburrir. Incluso en unas cuantas misiones me he llegado a estresar porque no me lo podía pasar (el final por ejemplo) pero lo mejor de todo (no se si hay maas del estilo que no sean de ubisoft) es haber jugado con Diego o poder jugar con más gente. Estar ahí en una misión como un escuadrón de verdad y decir a tu compañero despacio veo malos y prepararnos y cubrirnos y decir cuantos vemos.... Es increíble. Ahora las cosas malas. La inteligencia artificial de los enemigos muchas veces era muy mala. Por ejemplo enemigos que se mueven en una línea recta todo el rato sin disparar te o que te vea uno y que no te dispare. El apartado técnico y grafico tiene un 6 ya que el juego no se ve nada mal es muy bonito y en las ventiscas de nieve queda todo súper guay pero por el otro lado muchos bugs (bugisoft ataca de nuevo) o en las animaciones muchas veces deja mucho que desear o que estás cubierto por una pared de hormigón y te pueden matar en cualquier tiempo y da igual la distancia. La historia está bien pero para mi sin chicha sin gracia y la base bastante repetida poco original.!! LO RECOMIENDO BASTANTE ¡¡ pero si tienes a alguien con quien jugar el juego se vuelve más entretenido    … Expand

    It doesn't give a good story. An already online -oriented game. It starts to repeat when it plays for a long time, but the atmosphere is very nice

    I had fun playing it, buf of course it's Ubisoft game so it's repetitive as hell. It may be better with friends though (I played solo).

    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]
