    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).

    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.

    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. I am getting murdered pretty quick for sure in PvE.

    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

    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.!!

There is so much wrong with this game. 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

    Graphics and gameplay mechanics are great, but in contrast to Ghost Recon Wildlands the story is no good. Do not get me wrong: I do not criticise the idea of the story: restore order, but there are hardly no dialogues, cut scenes or other ways to communicate the story.

Поэтому, когда я выхожу из конспиративной квартиры и напрягаю нервы, я тоже ухмыляюсь, только чуть-чуть. Это мир The Division, онлайн-RPG, ориентированная на добычу, ловко замаскированная под шутер от третьего лица, действие которой происходит в мрачных последствиях биологической атаки на Нью-Йорк.

    В то время как история в основном придерживается проверенных тропов выживания, повествование прочно выполнено. Ключевые моменты получают полные ролики, а в промежутках вы постоянно слышите радио-стеб, который точно объясняет, как ваша следующая цель способствует вашей более широкой миссии по спасению Нью-Йорка от злобных оппортунистов. Вы всегда точно знаете, что делаете и почему; уже одно это делает ваши действия значимыми. А еще тебя никогда не изображали супергероем. The Division превосходно придерживается своего мрачного, обоснованного видения вызванного медициной апокалипсиса, и это работает.

    Okayish game. A nice concept but badly developed story. Not much detail on the lore...

    Graphics... I found it amazing. Even for a 4 year old game, this game is great on the graphics side. I didn't even play on ultra, just high settings. I also found the game engine very good. It was very detailed and I had lots of fun shooting things around. Lightning was spot on, snowy places and snow itself was done very well.

    -Another disadvantage is boring gameplay. After 10 hours of playing you may have feeling, like watching how the paint dries. But if you play with friend it may not feel like it.

    If to talk about advantages we may see good atmosphere, which will make you walk around snowy streets and abandoned buildings. Graphics are worse, then in trailer, but still pretty ok, if you'll forget about 0.01 polygon birds and other things like that.
    -To me, tactics are one of the most amazing things here, only here, without saying a word, my team did what was necessary.

    -Cool feature that haven't bored me yet is that you can close car doors. But it is nothing to compare with the fact, that you can shoot off a chunk of big quantity of walls. It may sound stupid, but it is really hyper-satisfying.

    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

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 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

    Probably the most distinctive game Ubisoft from all others. Many Haight took the game in his address, all walked the same path, the render of the video in the exhibition. But the game itself was not bad and even interesting. What is snow-covered new York during the holidays.

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. Не знаю на сколько хватит этой игры в плане часов, но я бы спокойно отыграл около 25+, геймплей конечно однообразен и может наскучить даже спустя пару часов.    … Expand

    I picked up The Division during the Ubisoft sale purely for the single player component and I wasn't disappointed, I enjoyed it very much. I got 40 hours out of the game and that was mostly just running through the campaign and a little bit of PvP and exploration at max level. I never really felt compelled to continue playing at max level though, I got about half way through the gear grindI picked up The Division during the Ubisoft sale purely for the single player component and I wasn't disappointed, I enjoyed it very much. I got 40 hours out of the game and that was mostly just running through the campaign and a little bit of PvP and exploration at max level. I never really felt compelled to continue playing at max level though, I got about half way through the gear grind before stopping but I enjoyed my time with the game so I do recommend 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.

    Overall it's a very well made game with tons of content for solo players and groups alike, it's in a really good state now, most of the negative reviews are pre patch 1.5 when there wasn't much to do, the game is considerably better than it was at launch.    … Expand

    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]
