    I did not like the constant hostile NPC dialogue of quest givers (I am there to help, why is everyone so hostile?) and overall snarky tone. After completing the main story in around 25 hours, fatigue set in and I had no drive to continue the end game activities.

    Overall for the atmosphere alone I really enjoyed it and think the setting is better than in part two.    … Expand

    The gameplay might get a bit repetetive over time, but I am a sucker for the game's setting and just running around enjoying the atmosphere makes me satisfied. Add the element of playing with friends, and you've got yourself a pretty nice game.

    Curti muito o sistema de tiro e de loot box, ou seja vc tem que sempre conseguir armas e equipamentos novos por que os inimigos vão ficando mais fortes.
    Dá uma impressão que os graficos são melhorei do que o 2.

    Still to this day, The Division is still a graphically great game, I'm running the game all on High settings and the scenery is just jaw-dropping. I really wish this game had a photo-mode. I'm 5 hours into the game writing this review and for some reason I want to do all the side missions and encounters, something that I rarely do nowadays because in some games it serves no purpose. In this game, it has a purpose so you can upgrade your headquarters. Sure the enemies are bullet spongy but that's what makes this game. If everything was 1 shot kill, then it would have just become another Wildlands or Breakpoint but taking place in New York.

    As someone who hates the newer Assassin Creed titles (Origins, Odyssey & Valhalla) for being an RPG title now, I would rather play this MMO-RPG title, a game that's 4 years old than those newer games. And that's very interesting to say since I love the Assassin Creed titles (everything before Syndicate).

    I'll be back to update this review after I beat the game.

    ----

    After beating the game, here's my thoughts.

    (I'm playing on 'Normal' difficulty)

    The Division has 18 main missions. Each district has it's own side missions and encounters that you can gather by going into safe houses along with district bosses that you can defeat. After completing all of the side missions, head back to the safe house to earn a blueprint and XP.

    I did most of the side missions and encounters before I started to play the main missions, after that was done I played the main missions and I completed the game in ~ 24 hours and played the last few missions on World Tier 2. To put that into perspective, I completed all the side missions from district levels 5 - 23 and I only had 4 out of the 18 main missions completed. I went to level 25 by just completing each district. Sadly I had to stop at the 24+ districts because I didn't have the Tech wing unlocked so I can't get better weapons to defeat these enemies with Gold health bars.

    You can co-op through the entire time or solo the entire time (you just have to be pretty good at the game). I personally did it solo since people in matchmaking are pretty horrible at shooting. With this game not being 1 shot kill like Wildlands, stealth can't be done... sadly so don't try it. I haven't tried out the Dark Zone, I don't think I will. Based on watching other people play it, it's very loot-based where you need to have the best gear and a team before going in. If not, you will lose the fights.

    In The Division, you can play however you want, whether it's doing all the side missions first or the main missions first, it's not very linear nor it doesn't hold your hand. If you go under-geared in a higher tier district or Dark Zone, you will get destroyed.

    Districts are very repetitive with very similar encounters and side missions, but I don't mind it, though some will dislike the game because of this. Each district adds new scenery which kinda makes it new'ish in a way. As I stated, I enjoyed the game to the point where I did the side missions first (to get the repetitive content out of the way).

    The only issue I really have with the game is what whenever I launch the game, it launches in Windowed mode. Pretty annoying, but nothing game breaking. I get fantastic FPS on High settings and I haven't had any server issues.

    A lot of people dislike The Division but it's really a great game, I loved every second of it... as you can tell by how many hours I put into it. The Division is definitely a game if FPS gamers that want an MMO-RPG game, they should have this game in their library.    … Expand

    if you want to play this game, I suggest you first buy and read New York Collapse. it is sold only in physical. the book belongs to a minor character of whom you learn about in the game. and you can find some pages littered through the city. it is a prepper book written by another character who knew about what was going to happen and explains how the city goes to hell in a detailed wayif you want to play this game, I suggest you first buy and read New York Collapse. it is sold only in physical. the book belongs to a minor character of whom you learn about in the game. and you can find some pages littered through the city. it is a prepper book written by another character who knew about what was going to happen and explains how the city goes to hell in a detailed way that the game does not. it is also full of annotations of the character who owned the book, explaining all that happened before the game. you will probably love it more than the game, and be annoyed/disappointed in how the game hardly tells you anything about the owner.

    ABOUT THE GAME: could have been much better, but is decent. the story is good. I am a lone wolf so I can't say much about the cooperative and multiplayer side of the game. if you choose missions in hard mode or go against enemies with highier level than yours, then you need to shoot them for a long time before they die, while they can kill you with two or three punches and bullets. the exploration is nice. you can enter some buildings and explore alleys and inside neighborhoods and parks. it makes you want to visit the real city. but most secondary missions are simple, repetitive or forgettable. the protagonist has no story nor voice. you are just one of many agents. there are more than a hundred articles of clothing, but less than a dozen faces for your character, and you can't modify the facial features. the soundtrack is forgettable. you can't do stealth kills with silencer nor knife. but you can hide from NPCs walking through streets if they are too powerful. you can find dozens of pages, audios and other things that build a better picture of what happens in the city.

    this is no short game. you will spend many many hours exploring and doing missions. you probably won't hate this game. but neither will love it.    … Expand

    It is a great experience and I encourage player who haven't tried it to jump in.
    It's also super cheap right now.

    This is a model of how a game launched being OK, but turned into a gem because the developer and community put the work in to make a great environment to experience the content.

It is just pure fun, and the bugs that still exist are quite funny - after one firefight, an enemy was stuck in mid-air.

    Anyway, it's incredibly fun and a finished polished game!    … Expand

    The Division is a good of example of a game that got much better with time. After all the patches (latest one is 1.8) this game is finally becoming what it should be from the beginning. I really enjoy it lately i would recommend it to every fan of FPS/RPG type of gameplay. It really worth it. I think Ubi deserves a pat in a back for fixing this game. Good job guys.

However, everything here, from dialogues to general visual exploration it’s a solid base even for a possible movie considering that a passive entertainment will never give the same grade of immersion, logically.
    Technically it’s one of the most changed game since day one that will be forever remembered. We got many issues, from simple environment bugs such enemies behaviors, respawns, bullets impact to the most frequent connectivity problems related to Ubisoft servers (initially wrongly managed from the company then strongly protested from many users around the globe, including myself) that took a minimum of 6 months of fixes, patches during (even) our online testing and several problems on the firsts add-ons like “Underground” that kept us away few additional months from playing it decently.
    Now, everything is pretty much fixed, with plenty of rooms for improvements especially on the last add-ons. DirectX12 gave a considerable enrichment to textures detail and lights that are absolutely stunning due to the fact that also the frequent drivers updates (Nvidia on my system) came back as well on framerates. Visually it’s very close to realism and probably a good reference for many other similar games that will come. But this depends from the main artistic direction. It is a cinematic product because the story it’s relatively serious and realistic (a possible real future? I hope not, it will be dramatic!). The main story isn’t so short and is part of the initial character development that will follow up with the add-ons genuinely designed for increasing the players experience. I found Underground particularly nice and playable now, it basically gives a random dungeon structure that takes a little break, variant from the usual game play but also the rest follows the same logic in order to avoid the most common problem of many games: repetitiveness.

    So, avoiding that common “black cross” inside gaming sphere we all have experienced a title that initially presented the price that you have to pay when a game, no matter how much sophisticated and spectacular is, will be entirely designed to be online. However, The Division still suffer from something that should be the strongest point: effective cooperation between players. You are almost forced to organize yourself outside the game in order to join into a decent group of players because what is missing here is exactly the same thing that made Destiny one of the strongest co-op games: the ability to have someone that may join in anytime and anywhere. At any point of the game. The Division depends from briefing rooms that basically are a bottleneck, a paradox compared to the potential and other many things that could offer but at the same time is strongly dependent due to the necessity to update the character equipment buying/selling/crafting items. It was maybe too much difficult for the developers to make the choice of building just one giant HQ (like Destiny) where players can do general briefing. It’s just designed differently and it’s dependent from Manhattan structure itself where only the central area is available, excluding Central Park that could be lovely to explore and play as an alternative dark zone for a possible next update. It’s an ideal area for some extra extraction point, in my opinion.

    At this point, the developers will update for something cool to come or just will use their achieved experiences for a more substantial sequel? Who knows. One thing is for sure: The Division will reach something important if all the positive, actual things will be kept then others will be implemented for something really unique inside this type of gaming.
    The Division put a chance, like a match point, to become a pioneer of a new era if (especially) the marketing campaign will act more honestly at the very beginning. Ubisoft advised!

    A divide in fun.
    The division tells the story about a smallpox pandemic that wreaks havoc on black Friday…
    You’re part of the division, sent in by the US government to assist emergency responders and restore order.
    The game starts in Brooklyn but opens up when you enter Manhattan…
    This game is online only and is absolutely brutal…
    Probably one of the hardest if not hardest third person shooter I’ve ever played…
    If you’re playing by yourself… you’re not making it to the end unless you’re a 360 no scope mlg pro..
    I am not... so I teamed up with a squad the entire way….
    But this isn’t your typical 3rd person shooter…
    There are no head shots...
    Enemies have hp rather than just being vulnerable humans... they’re armored up and bullet spongy…
    I didn’t realize the type of game this was at first so I felt frustrated, only to remind myself borderlands is the same way…
    So this is more or less a 3rd person borderlands with none of the color or humor…
    My Love for the Division slowly grew on me… and I did eventually fall in love…
    But halfway through the game, my love evaporated.
    In the division you can explore the city of Manhattan either alone or with a crew of up to 4 players, there are 19 main story missions in this game that increasingly have a higher level requirement…
    Each mission will give you roughly 1 level.. And you also gain xp from killing enemies, doing side missions, discovering new locations and finding collectibles…
    And at first this feels great...
    You’ll run down the street and run into an encounter and help whoever out and move on to the mission you were heading too…
    You gain your first 5 levels without even trying…
    Then you’re doing mission after mission... killing these insanely tough enemies… picking up their dropped weapons, finding loot and armor..
    Getting supplies to work on the different wings of your base to unlock new skills and abilities...
    Assigning these abilities to your 2 and eventually 3 ability slots…
    It’s so frustrating and so addictive at the same time…
    Coming up with strategies with your teams mates during tough sections..
    Providing health, cover, and distraction…
    This is why it’s important to play with others…
    On your own you can’t be revived… enemies do take less damage... but it isn’t worth being sent back to a checkpoint each time you die to an area of respawned enemies…
    You’re heading into the dark zone to look for contaminated but more powerful loot, killing other players to increase your dark zone level to leave with better gear
    And you’re halfway through the game..
    You’re level 13... The next missions enemies are level 16 no big deal…
    You’ve got your awesome crew... you can handle anything.
    Nope.
    You can’t play missions more than 2 levels ahead of you… and by the way... from the halfway point forward... every single mission is going to be 3 levels ahead of you
    No big deal, levels have been handing out levels…
    Surely side missions and encounters and collectibles will do the same.
    They don’t.
    XP is so insanely slow in this game and I’m convinced there’s only a leveling system here to slow the player down... to make them do the boring side stuff instead of shoot their way through these hour long main missions….
    There’s really nothing else to explain it…
    It isn’t to make you more powerful in battle…
    Fights are just as hard from the start as they are at the end... Enemies level with you…. And most of the time unless you grind with the boring stuff are even 2 plus levels ahead
    And it isn’t to unlock perks or new weapons... because you get all of this from enemies and completing main stories…
    You can replay mast missions on hard mode for better loot.. but it rewards to xp at the end which is complete nonsense…
    Level requirements for main missions kill pacing…
    and the laughably small amount of xp you get for killing enemies which by the way is the exact same you get for killing a boss is even more of a joke.
    There’s not a chance you’ll level up mid story mission…
    It’s not happening you’re gonna be just as weak in the final boss battle as you were going in…
    The combat here is extremely fun though and offers a great deal of variety in its perks, weapons, and mods to make your character feel like yours…
    I’m not sure why they smack you with a wall halfway through and force you to do the fetch quest nonsense around Manhattan
    The division takes some time to grow on you.. And once it finally does it turns into an unfun forced grind. I Give the Division an 8.0/10    … Expand

    At this point you could say I got my money's worth and I did, but this game was advertised as an MMO shooter and once you hit a high level, there's no reason to continue playing, because there's nothing left to do except grinding in the dark zone and do repetitive daily missions.

    The game also has some serious issues with cheaters, because so much of it is client-side.

    The Division has unbelievable potential, but a poor delivery in some areas. I still enjoyed the time I played, but lost interest too much to buy any extra content.

    UPDATE: With the recent patches (1.5) a lot of the game's issues have been improved and the game is really enjoyable. There's a scalable difficulty, good item progression, more activities and even performance and UI improvements. It's good to see that they keep improving the game and fixing stuff.    … Expand

    Very Repetitive. The gunplay itself is fun, but the cover system is janky, and cumbersome.. 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,

    Brilliant game, interesting concept. The missions are tedious but after reaching level 30, the darkzone is a thrill place to be in. I especially love teaming up with other players and farming in darkzone, not to mention looting and building up the characters is quite rewarding. Overall I loved the game, looking forward to the expansions.

    It's not perfect, but it certainly does not warrant the amount of negativity it seems to be generating. The main issue I see is that it tries to be too much - something for everyone.

The main issue I see is that it tries to be too much - something for everyone. A hybrid game, of sorts. In doing this, it ends up being simply too average at each of it's mechanics. It's kind of an MMO, but lacking features; it's kind of an RPG, but lacking depth; it's kind of a tactical 3rd person shooter, but lacking realism. However, as a whole the game simply works... surprisingly well I might add.

    Anyway, let's break it down:

    The Bad
    - Still a bit buggy (getting stuck in objects, disconnecting, falling through levels).
    - Enemies don't need to be far above your level to make them severe bullet sponges. This leads to...
    - Grouping issues, since characters more than 3 levels above/below cause severe balancing issues.
    - Skills are unlocked by doing side-missions instead of levelling up. This leads to...
    - ...if you spend a while doing missions in a block (without going back to the safe house), you feel like you are getting nowhere until you do finally get back and suddenly unlock tons and tons of skills all at once.
    - The loot is very "meh". Other than increasing damage/dps/armour numbers, nothing really makes you too thrilled with getting new loot. It is also replaced very quickly as you level.
    - No incentive to start another character - every one is EXACTLY the same and there is no permanent skills/classes to "shake it up".
    - It's repetitive. 1-30 is fun, but end-game will not be for everyone. To be fair, I am never a fan of these end-game MMO-ey things anyway... it's the journey there that I prefer and will not be playing the endless grinding raids etc. If you do not plan on doing this then this may not be so much of a "con".

    The Good
    - Combat is very enjoyable. It is fluid, tactical and the cover mechanics are spot on.
    - Great fun co-op with a group of friends.
    - Ability to respec whenever you wish.
    - It looks gorgeous and runs surprisingly smoothly too.
    - Easy to pick up and play.
    - Lot's to do and a large open world to explore.
    - 4 Character slots so that you can have several different leveled characters in play.
    - Plenty of skills (and mods for them), talents and perks to choose from.

    So, in summary, it's a flawed, but very enjoyable game. Worthy of a thumbs up and certainly not deserving of all the negativity. With any luck, patches and DLC may fix some of the issues and add some required features.

    -Character: I like the basic character customization for this game. I don’t have to spend 30 min deciding if I want a pointed chin or a round one, like in most of the newer RPG's. I don’t even see my face most of the time, so the lack of character customization does not bother me. I can still make a super-hot chick that decimates the weak.

I don’t even see my face most of the time, so the lack of character customization does not bother me. I can still make a super-hot chick that decimates the weak.
    -RPG: Once again if you read most of the reviews people cry about how simple the RPG system is. I agree it lacks real depth. You basically have three choices, tank, assault, and support. I know you can make a marksmen but I consider that to be a support or assault class. The RPG aspect of the game is just enough to give you some difference. It gives you the options to make a character that is not like everyone else. Sure some will be the same and some builds are better than others. I have not seen a build that hinders your ability to get through the game. All in all the RPG aspect of the game is good and enough for me.
    -Graphics: The game looks amazing on my system. GTX780 on maxed out settings. I know this will change depending what card you run and the system. I can only speak from personal experience on my system. Sometime I catch myself just looking at lighting or water/ground objects. There is great detail in most items and structures. Overall the graphics are amazing and I could not ask for more. Enough said!
    -Progression: The games progression flows well enough going through the first 30 levels. There is never a time where you have to look for something to do or grind like in a normal RPG. The missions are simple enough to find and as you progress and they become more difficult as you gain levels. Many people do not like the repetition factor. The main missions do not repeat at all. NO MAIN MISSION IS THE SAME. That being said I am speaking from the progression standpoint not endgame. Yes I know the side-missions are just different variations of the same 5-8 missions you come across. There is enough break in the side missions to where you don’t do the same per area. IE: Water missions, after the first few zones you don’t have to do one for a while. This is enough break for me to not get annoyed with side-missions while progressing. Level progression is seamless, and works out to where you are never behind and have to catch up to be able to move to the next area. Another thing about progression it is complete solo if that’s what you want. I don’t like playing with people all the time so the solo aspect of the game works for me.
    -Combat: “This is where the game shines.” First let’s get the bad out of the way. The enemies are bullet sponges and yes the cover system and be a little clunky. Could you imagine if you killed an enemy with 1-5 bullets and bosses with 6-10 bullets? There would be no point in playing the game. When playing a shooter like this you have to expect the enemies to take a lot of damage. Second the cover system is good probable a 6.5-8 out of 10. I can count on both hands how many times my character has been stuck or messed up in some way with cover. A lot is user error, if you slow down just a little and plan out moves. You can easily cut the time you mess up in cover. With the two biggest complaints out of the way let’s focus on the good things. Pure and simple the combat is challenging and exciting. I have personally experienced multiple time where me and my group mates talked about how intense the combat sequence was. No two combat experiences will be the exact same. There are so many different ways to approach combat that it really lets you handle combat in a new and fun way every time. The cover system combined with the grenades and different character builds is refreshing and really showcases what is great about The Division.
    -What I did not cover: I did not have much interaction with the Dark Zone. I have been in there for around an hour and from what I can see its going to be fun and scary all at the same time. It has a real Survivor feel to it and I am always watching my back. Especially when getting my gear out. I also just reached level 30 and only have a gear score of 145. So I am not sure how the end game will treat me or how much I will either hate it or love it. I have been on the grind for a week so I do have some experience, just not enough to commend on the end game at the moment.
    -Final Thoughts: Overall the game is great for both players who solo and group. Great Graphics/combat. Some things need to be fixed, but overall it feels complete. I have only experienced two glitches so I can’t comment on them as they did not harm my game play all that much. The game is only a little over a month old. Give it sometime and I am sure it will become the masterpiece I know it can be.

As Division Agent you have acces to more than 19 active skills, with different modifiers, which you can chose from to cater to you playstyle (Tank/DD/Suppport). Im going to assume that, if you buy this game, you are commited enough to reach lv 30, where the "true" game starts. I'll be explaining that in a bit.
    To keep this review short and easy to read im going to make a pro Cons list:

    Pro:
    - Very fun if you have 1-3 friends to play with.
    - Especially the Dark Zone, the PvP zone of this game, is great fun with a group. There, you and your friends can either become a hunter or the prey, depending on your tendency to kill NPCs or other Players for their Loot.
    - There is a lot to discover in the game world...
    -... and a lot to marvel at. The graphics in this game are stunning if your gaming-rig can handle it (though the recommended specs arent that high)
    - Group play is challening on higher difficulties. The different skills you can chose from actually matter, if used right.

    Cons:

    - The setting of this game aims for a realistic style. Gameplay wise, this however poses problems in the long run in terms of variety and itemisation. Items most of the time fail to induce the craving to obtain them, since visually, they are limited to exisitng guns. While i dont expect guns that sparkle with fire or ice effects, some "oomph" is missing in that department (most of the time, the most unique feature of the highest quality guns is them having a golden skin.)
    - The story is lacking. Most of the time, you're going up against a specific boss in group missions. However, they mostly dont receive much exposition beforehand. So if you finally get "face to face" (its still a shooter, so chances are you wont see their face properly if they are 30m away), bosses will mainly only stand out because they have a name and drop more loot. What a missed opportunity.
    - While there sure is a lot to discover, i fail to understand why Ubi games in general, have the tendency to plaster the map with collectibles. There are more than 140 audiologs and some other stuff you can pick up. However, once you hit lv 30 the xp gain through these become obsolete. While they do tell stories, and help create atmosphere, almost every single audiolog is a self contained, albeit interchangable collectible. Collecting them isnt particularily fun, even as an optional goal. A more mission implemented apporach for those would have been much better.
    - Farming the Group missions on Lv 30 can really get repetitive after some time, since theres mostly no variation how encounters are handled. While weakpoints on enemies change, almost every mission simply consists of the game throwing enemies in your way. A more varied approach with bosses (like in the last mission) in particular would have done wonders.    … Expand

    I love MMOs, so loved games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 when they were first released; I also love shooters, especially first-person shooters, from Doom II, through Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001), and to Battlefield 3. So I was always looking for a game like The Division. And the mildly similar games out there now either have bad graphics for my taste, or are just tooI love MMOs, so loved games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 when they were first released; I also love shooters, especially first-person shooters, from Doom II, through Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001), and to Battlefield 3. So I was always looking for a game like The Division. And the mildly similar games out there now either have bad graphics for my taste, or are just too broken / hacked / or abused by veterans to be playable. The Division does not have these problems; it has amazing graphics that are also well optimized or tweaked that even my friend's old gaming laptop can run it (but barely), and it also works well enough from the first week of its release.

    The Division is not perfect, though. It's definitely the answer to my long-endured gaming needs, but there is huge room for improvement. For that combination of feelings about it, I give it 8 out of 10. My biggest problem with The Division is that crafting relies on luck, just like dropped loot relies on luck; this is one of the strangest implementations of crafting I've ever seen in a game like this. Basically, after going through the tedious process of farming materials, you have to go through the largely frustrating experience of crafting a weapon or piece of armor, one after another, after another, maybe dozens of said pieces, until you can find, not the perfect combination of stats, because that's nearly impossible, but merely an acceptable combination of stats (and there are so many of them). Furthermore, upgrading crafting materials is not done in mass or bulk, but one after another, and you have to press two keys, hold down space and press Esc, every single time for every single piece you're upgrading. That...is not weirder and more stupid than the first problem of dependency on luck when crafting, but it's somewhere out there with the former in terms of giving the player a frustrating and tediously boring experience.

    In short, the much, much needed crafting, because loot is wholly dependent on luck, is also dependent on luck and only luck! In other words, crafting is hopelessly broken in The Division, unless Massive suddenly decides to get sane and allow picking exact stats when crafting, even if the price is increasing the amounts of crafting material required when you're able to specify stats.

    Because of the above mentioned problem, which Massive probably thinks is a profitable and addictive time sink (maybe addictive for masochistic gamblers, but definitely not normal people or gamers), experimenting or changing role in this game is a hopeless endeavor. Because if you really want to specialize as a healer or DPS or tank, then you naturally must be able to tweak your gear and specify every single stat on every single piece, but that's impossible with the mechanic of depending on luck. Accordingly, everyone is DPS in this game. Almost. And it's not fun to try to change because you cannot be powerful enough as a healer or tank with a large portion of your stats that are completely irrelevant to your other desired roles, and can never be changed. You can change (or recalibrate just one stat, no more).

    Accordingly, without being able to experiment and change specialization or role, the game is fast coming to an end for end gamers. Massive is planning an update with “gear sets” in a few days, apparently sets that will help people specialize in things other than DPS, but they're almost all loot or drops from bosses, so again, people are forced to depend on luck or RNG, rather than on the targeted and sure way of farming lots of materials, but crafting exactly what one wants.

    Other than the above, and the need for more missions (dungeons) and perhaps creative types of enemies, this game is amazing and exactly what I wanted. However, I agree with Angry Joe, the reviewer, about the Tom Clancy brand hurting the game; it's definitely hurting The Division. Because as repetitive as they have become, zombies would have been the most mind-blowingly awesome part of this game. Zombies would have added variety, and such different methods or tactics of gameplay in missions.

    I don't think zombies will ever be added; they'r just not part of Tom Clancy's world or brand. But more missions and variety are certainly coming. So if I will stop playing this game and if I refrain from buying the Season Pass, then it will be for one reason: the frustrating crafting experience.    … Expand

    To preface, this game is NOT for everyone. If you believe this is a twitch shooter in the ilk of COD or HALO, look elsewhere.

In fact, I am still not sure why they decided to use the Tom Clancy brand for this game, other then for marketing purposes. If you saw the movieTo preface, this game is NOT for everyone.

In fact, I am still not sure why they decided to use the Tom Clancy brand for this game, other then for marketing purposes. If you saw the movie Contagion, then you know EVERYTHING this game has to offer regarding plot and story. However, what does make it effective; and even frightening; is that this is highly plausible today as well.

    About the game, I was involved in the beta process and thought the game was thin and left a lot to be desired. The Rouge system and the Dark Zone were defiantly intriguing mechanics that the game offered and I thought there was true innovative potential to be had there. But after investing a fair amount of time into the game, and having 30 level maxed my open world agent and partaken in quite a bit of endgame content, this game is thin on content at the moment, but a surprising blast to play through. I found myself highly addicted and hooked, minus the repetitive nature to grind some of the supplies for the 3 wings.

    I did buy the Season Pass, but I would recommend holding off on that until the first couple waves of expansions are rolled out.

    The fusion between loot-shooter and open world RPG is both fascinating and interesting at the same time. I can see what Ubisoft had envisioned when developing this game and fleshing it out, but this vision is still a work in process.

    New York being digitally rendered into the game is truly breathtaking, as are the various weather effects used within the game. This game might be a trend-setter for all to come in that department. How you progress through the game is well-handled as well; having to collect supplies to unlock various stages of progression in each of the 3 primary wings of your base; which is the post office located next to Madison Square Garden in downtown Manhattan.

    Without droning on, or spoiling anything; I would highly recommend this game if you have a decent rig and like 3rd person shooters, open world explorers, or RPG progress-ers. If your a 1st person shooter fanatic, this game just isn't for you. Important to note, it is quite possible to beat the Open World portion of the game solo; but you will need to pair up with other agents if you wish to effectively tackle the endgame content. If this turns you off, also steer clear.
    In closing, the loot system is great; very effective at awarding appropriate trinkets for the effort invested, and the story, while thin, is great at setting up the "world" of post-pandemic New York. The factions in the game are well fleshed out and utilized too; my favorite being the Cleaners, who are both menacing to look at, but hilarious to gun down.

    Game-play is super fun and the world is beautiful. Coop is some of the best I've played in a recent game. It does however sometimes get a little repetitive however during a long solo play session, but finding a good piece of gear brings you right out of it.

When I heard about this game for the first time, it sounded like the game I was waiting for my whole life. So naturally I signed myself up for the Beta.

    A few months before the release I got into that Beta. I hated it, it was clunky, buggy and just overal sad. So I decide not to buy the game, since I'd probably never play it. But soon after, my brother managed to convince me to buy it anyway, so I was like okay what the hell. Lets do it. I don't regret it, even though this game frustrates me at times, but it's really enjoyable.

    PROS
    The overall game play is just really enjoyable to me. I visited New York City once in my life, and its just fun too see the little things I still recognize. I really like the missions, and collecting different appearance items. And nothing is more enjoyable than bragging about a new cool piece of gear to my brother. The game is pretty challenging at times which makes it more fun. The skills are pretty cool, but I do feel like they could have done more. I could say something about the graphics, but I honestly do not care.

    CONS
    The AI frustrates the hell out of me, even though the challenging part is fun. There is just something really annoying about fighting 6 Rikers in front of you and getting 6 other Rikers in your back because for some reason they feel compelled to fight you. Some AI just storm you whenever you in cover and shoot you from the side. Which kind of beats the purpose of cover. I personally don't enjoy the DZ, It's high risk high reward, but right now Rogue agents just swarm the extraction points and wait. And lastly, some missions trigger while walking, and you pull the mobs. Which is really annoying whenever you just want to do another mission. Yes i get that this is an RPG and that's just what happens, but in this game its just a little frustrating. There are still a few bugs, but I'm not going to judge the game on it.

    It looks like they are improving, and I love to play this game, since i'm not paying monthly I don't feel forced to play it. So it's nice casual MMORPG shooter. Which i can generally recommend to people who enjoy these type of settings and games.    … Expand

    An important game in game history. It takes many aspects of gameplay and graphics to a new and up-to-date state. For what it is, this game is amazingly stunning. The option to build teams quick and spontanious is one of the best ideas ever (and the mechanics behind this). Iam addicted and now other games can build on that new level of design.

If you don't like PVP you eventually won't enjoy this game. So lets get started. This game is a melting pot of multiple genres of games and gives off this jack of all trades master of non kind of vibe. The game itself takes place in a freshly Re-Uncivilized New York, that has been struck with a virus that broke down the city. Rioters roam the streets and the military can't control the violence. So the government calls in The Division: a group of elite soldiers, in an attempt to retake the city from the gangs. This is where the mission structure comes in. Most of the missions in the game have you going to a certain area, clearing out all the thugs there, fighting a boss, and getting loot. This same structure is used for almost every main mission. I feel this game is best experienced with a group of people that you play through the missions with. Ity doesn't even have to be the same group of people every time but I still recommend you play them with a group as it makes for a better experience. This is where the game being repetitive comes into play. As said the mission structure is almost the same for every main mission And for some people this is a huge problem. If you enjoy left 4 dead then you'll get what i am talking about. The story of the mission changes while the structures is basically the same. Which can really bother some people but as a person who grew up on beat em ups I don't bother it and I thinks it's part of the reason i enjoy the hell out of this game. The division Is a shooter with slight MMO elements and an RPG type loot and xp system. It's clearly built to be like destiny in a sort of way. The game has a HUGE area in which players can PVP in the Dark Zone. You can find better loot in the Dark Zone. (BTW know the command to do jumping jacks by heart.) The way the Dark Zone is set up to assure that you don't get screwed over by someone way higher level then you. The game itself looks beautiful even on the low settings the my 660ti can handle. I had minor problems when first starting up the game but those were fixed easily. Ubisoft is usually really good about making well optimized games. So my final Verdict? If you can't enjoy a game because its repetitive then this is definitely not for you, but if you think you'll enjoy it you probably will.… Expand

    Just remember this is not a tactical shooter, or any kind of shooting simulation.
    This is a loot based game (like Diablo, Torchlight or similar action RPG's where you collect better and better gear as you progress) in a "real world" enviroment and GTA style combat with cover system (as in Mass Effect). You shoot things until they die. If your weapon DPS is weak, you will have to shoot longer in onder to bring their HP to 0, just like in other action RPG's.

    Weapon variety is great, with ridiculous amount of different mods.

    At the beginning, the game is trying to insert you as an operative part of the Division. I was a little bit disappointed when i realize the weakness of the character creation. It's frustrating when you're entering a Safe House and you encounter a bunch of clones. Ubisoft should have made a character creator solid as the Skyrim one in my opinion. After that, you are eager to build you char and unlock the most of the Skills to be able to try them. After a while, it's getting boring and repetitive.
    The Dark Zone is not a bad idea but, it takes a bunch of low life to destroy the fun and that's what you usually meet. I don't care to be stripped of the items i successfully found but after that, give me a break!! Go away! Anyway. The Division do not deserve a 0 or a 3, it deserves a 7 and over. Ubisoft did not reinvent the wheel with The Division but it's a nice wheel ;-) Maybe in the future, they will innovate by listening to the users.

    Overall, The Division's MMO aspirations tie its hands a bit and get in the way of its shooter personality and fundamentals. With friends, the flaws are easily overlooked as my friends and I have sunk 30+ hours into the game already between various modes and activities. Its an incredible experience and one that no one should miss. I just wish there was more variety to the leveling.

    The plot has you assume the role of a paramilitary agent and while while enjoyable, there isn't really a morale system or dialogue choices, just choices in the missions.. But that said i found myself abit confused the first few confrontations with the enemy, coming in quietly and observantly and struggling to come to terms while being in an open world as it is there is no option for stealth nor is it rewarded apart from triggering the next battle.. It's almost a sin in the world of MMO and classes and opens worlds to not have that freedom, a perplexing mistep, lazy even and I believe holds it back. The rest of the game becomes a borderland-esque mission fest.. it's only RPG as so much as picking what you wear and where you go next, and the game world feels fairly alive and interesting, most of all starkly beautiful.

    With that said, this game did what Destiny SHOULD have done. The gun play is tight and requires tactics - run and gun style will get you killed. The story, while cliche, is well told and the voice acting is, for the most part, well done with a few exceptional moments and a few eh moments.

    The sound is fantastic. The soundtrack, when it plays, is great and is used very well to highlight moments of intensity - otherwise you are left to the ambient sounds of a stripped city. Stripped until you start putting a dent into the hell hole that NYC has become. As you complete the missions, side missions, etc. the world starts to come to life - people go back to the streets and it feels different. Your base of operations becomes a buzzing hub of NPC activity. This is open world catastrophe done right.

    The Snow Drop engine is amazing and the graphics on the PC are superb. They are even really incredible on console, after all, what game besides Halo 5, Bloodborne or the dreaded The Order even come close graphically on console?

    The launch was actually very smooth despite the issue of handling loads at midnight EST. That got quickly ironed out and connectivity has been solid since. Console did not have as much of an issue whereas PC did - but it was quickly addressed and you were in and running within about 30 minutes.

    If you like the original Rainbow Six games or Splinter Cell, you will enjoy this game for the gun play that punishes you for not using tactics and cover. If you prefer to run and gun (COD style) this game will not be pleasant.

    Come into this game with a RPG attitude, and not a FPS game or Survival game (like H1Z1 or DayZ).

    The reason people do not like this game, was that they had the thought it would be a Survival game first, then FPS game second, and lastly a RPG.

    The reason people do not like this game, was that they had the thought it would be a Survival game first, then FPS game second, and lastly a RPG.

    I promise you, if they had thought this game with along the lines of Firefall, Destiny, or any 3rd person shooter RPG, they would be saying this is a fine game. Even in comparison to WoW, GW/GW2, Warhammer Online, TOR, AION, ESO, SRO, LotrO, Rift, FF, STO, CoH, or any of the other hundreds of MMOs I played, this is a good MMO.

    Having addressed that, there are actually Cons:

    - This game sometimes has clunky controls. But I would say, 80% of the time, the game is relatively smooth.

    - Can't really play with your friends, and I'll explain why. The pairing system works as an average, for the most part, if you're level 18 and playing with a level 10 friend, the AI will be level ~15. This makes your friend useless, and you having to carry the entire game if you decide to pair up with them. Once you hit 30, no matter what, the enemy will be 25 (until you hit the 28-30 zones). So if you played a lot, and got to 30, and your friends just picked up the game and are level 5-10, well better re-roll a character.

    - A huge thing is that there are 3 different credit systems and 2 different crafting systems.
    1) Normal credits you get from finishing quests/dungeons, and killing enemies in the normal zone. There are a few items worth buying, but most of it is garbage end game. And you'll have huge stock piles of credits with nothing to buy except for vanity items.
    2) Dark Zone Credits, exclusively from the DZ, right now any AI in the DZ can drop it, making it relatively fast to gather up a stockpile. (This is probably because in the Beta, it took a long time to get DZ Credits). The problem is that buying the intro gear requires the player to be level 30 DZ (as opposed to your normal level). I've noticed by the time I hit level 30 DZ, the DZ intro gear was useless to me for the most part, rendering the DZ Credits mainly useless.
    3) Phoenix Credits, only named yellow mobs can drop it (usually drop 2 Phoenix credits). You can also receive them from doing the daily missions (3) for 30 credits for when you complete the daily. Or playing the missions on challenging, which gives out 30 on completion of the challenging mode. I believe it maxes out at 80 or so a day. These are used for High-End gear/end game gear.
    1A) Normal crafting is made by the crafting materials you find in the non-DZ areas. You can unlock recipes from completing missions or buying them for credits or phoenix credits for the High-End gear. You can also combine lower level materials to become higher level materials (Like Diablo), the only difference is that there is no "Craft All" button, making it tedious to craft things.
    - As a side note, all crafting is pretty much random (Diablo), so you can get horrible base damage and great mods/perks on the gear. Or get great damage and bad mods/perks. Or a mixture of both, it really is luck. Meaning you might want to craft the same thing a few times if you haven't got the best possible stats or at least decent stats.
    2) Dark Zone crafting is very tedious. First you have to collect the material called "Division Tech", after that, you have to change the Division Tech into "Dark Zone Materials" (Fabrics, Weapon Parts, Electronics) and then you can craft your materials. But it's mainly useless because of Phoenix Creds.

    - PVP, right now, is not worth it. It takes a long time to actually level up in the Dark Zone (the only PVP area), and when you die (could be AI or player) you lose a lot of XP. And the reward of surviving the timer of going "rogue" (killing an enemy player) is not worth it at all. Most of the gear people are collecting is for the materials themselves and not the actual gear. Because it is VERY EASY to gear up. Most people accidentally go rogue, because the damage threshold to other players is very low. 2 pistol shots, or 1 shot from any primary weapon will make you go rogue. (Again in the Beta, people taunted others by shooting them once to see if the other player would open up on them. Making the taunted player go rogue)

    Pros:

    - Vivid story, through the side missions and main missions, it is very entertaining. And the collectibles only enhance the story. The Division does a good job making the smallest things fun. Takes about 28 hours to complete the main story and side missions.

    - Fast leveling, it took me 25 hours to reach max level 30.

    - Gearing is relatively fast for an RPG. You can get Superior gear in ~2 hours of playing. And afterwards, a piece of High End gear/End game gear in another 2 hours. 1-2 pieces of High End gear makes the normal/hard moments easy, and challenging moments doable (but still very hard). By the time the DLC comes out, hardcore and core gamers should have a decent amount of high-end stuff.    … Expand

    One of the best MMO I've ever played. Great gameplay mechanics, great graphics, great sound and the most import: REALLY ADDICTIVE!

    Don't pay attention to those anti-Ubisoft fanboys who hate this game without have even played it.

    This is a GREAT game, and you are going to LOVE it, if you like shooters.

    This game is like a cross between Watch Dogs, Borderlands, and D3. This is not a game for COD drop shotters or 360noscopers, it relies heavily on Intelligence, not reflexes. Early on (leveling) this will seem apparent with positioning and minor tactics, but this becomes really obvious after max level in the Dark Zone, and then Challenge modes. After the most recent challenge mode my group wiped in less than 5 seconds from pulling the first pack, prompting us to come up with ability swaps and ideas on how to meet the challenge. In total I think it took us around two hours to complete and was an absolute blast of a challenge. This game is heavy on teamwork, being adaptable, and critical thinking to figure out the best approach. I should also point out that there is not one "A.I." in this game, but dozens... and they get harder as you meet different factions. I treat LMB with far more respect than Cleaners as they have proven their capability to get behind me (freaking shotguns... I swear). Not to mention that several bosses don't act in the same manner as normal enemies you fight, I shudder to think of what a shotgun boss will be like...

    Honestly I think a better way to look at the content in this game is that you have two different types of levels. You have experience levels and dark zone levels. 30 experience levels and 50 Dark Zone levels, it isn't grindy at all to get to level 30 and start the gear game. The dark zone is very grindy though and is much more pleasant with friends and exploring new areas (At the point of this review I am level 30 and 30 DZ rank). I started this game solo and met several people along the way through matchmaking and the Dark Zone (Ubisoft needs to have an in game method of adding friends... not being able to do so is really stupid) so my Uplay friends list now has enough people that I'm never playing alone.

    I think my only real complaint is the lack of PVP, and if you read "I hate the pvp" in anyone's reviews, they are lying because the only pvp is a weird zone wide manhunt. If you "go rogue" in the DZ you get skulls over your head that tell everyone in the zone you are worth 10 times more DZ rep than anything in the zone... so of course all 30+ people in the zone stop what they are doing and hunt you down. I've actually really enjoyed the hunting rogues down experience, but there is little benefit to being rogue and as I've played longer and longer I've seen fewer and fewer rogues, because it just isn't worth it. So the DZ is largely people farming elites similar to the welfare isles in WOW (rare farming). I think the game would really benefit from a 4v4 or 8v8 instanced pvp zone (similar to battlegrounds). In my opinion there is no real pvp in the game.

    In a word though, the game is fantastic. It has been a fantastic experience and I intend on playing a great deal more over the next year or so. I find it odd that I'm giving this a 10, but I'm not judging it by Ubisoft or their stupid Uplay. I'm judging it by the content in the game and the fun I've had playing it. It has been more fun than any game I've played in the last two years, I hope it continues to be.    … Expand

    If yes to these then this is a solid, solid game. I understand where the negativity comes from but this game has so much going for it and it has a lot of gameplay coming.

    Pros:
    1.) Beautiful, beautiful world... I can't stress how amazing the game looks on the PC and Ubisoft did a great job at re-creating New York City. (I am by no means a fan of Ubisoft. Only games I own from them is the Farcry series and The Division)

    2.) Co-op is very, very fun. I have two other buddies that I plan with and it makes the whole experience great!

    3.) Missions are fun. All the missions are pretty fun. Side missions are okay but is more geared towards getting gear and blueprints. The game is laid out like this... there are regions many regions within the game with different lvl requirements. You jump from one safe house to another finishing problems the neighborhood has and doing encounters to unlock your skills/talents and technology for your base. I would say about 35 hours of gameplay for missions and single player

    4.) The fights are fun. It starts pretty slow but soon enough you will have enemies coming from all directions with snipers in the back, assault/LMG in the middle and shotgunners charging you while grenades are being tossed to blow your cover.

    Cons:

    1.) server issues... this will get better. I actually didn't have any issues lately
    2.) end game is weak and the dark zone still needs some revamping but Ubisoft already laid out 3 paid expansions with content and 2 free expansions

    Bottom line: World looks great. The gun fights feel authentic(some bugs with AI, but still tough at times). One of my favorite co-op games (Please find friends to play with). Lots of promising new content. It is worth the $48 I spent on the PC version download from GMG. I think you can get it for $44.

    To me, it's worth the money. I have already had 35 hours of fun gameplay with friends. The story is great too if you pay attention to it. If you hate loot grind games like Diablo, Warframe, etc.. then I don't think it is worth it for you to get this game. I love loot games so I thoroughly enjoy it.    … Expand

    The Division is a fantastic game. The best character in the game is definitely New York. It is a living, breathing, menace. There always feels like there is something to do, and lots of places to explore to pick up little bits of lore or loot. The Dark Zone deepens the feeling of doom and anarchy. You never know what to expect. Looking forward to many more hours of gameplay.

For me the game play is exceedingly fun and i can see where this may not be everyone's cup of tea because there is a lot of run to point A to point B ect but there's just something about the atmosphere and feel of the game that draws me in.

    Dark Zones from what i played of that game mode takes an interesting approach to the online multiplayer arena in that it promotes teamwork rather than the kill everybody that moves mentality but at the same time also giving you the option to kill everyone in sight if you so desire, it's a really refreshing take on a game mode that in my opinion is getting stale.

    Since it is A RPG, it is about teamwork and coordination to take down Bosses that can "Unfairly" take a lot of Damage.

    This is the FIrst RPG that I have played that once I am in a mission with others, I forget that I originally started to "Gain A Level" but get so wrapped up into the actual fight, that I keep going and have lots of fun and by the time I have gained that level, I forgot all about it because I am just having FUN.

    Then it's the excitement of "What loot will I find?" I have over 20 hours in and I have yet to find any loot higher than Blue (The 3rd of the 5 Tiers). Even though I am not happy about that, It is not that bothersome, since with the gear I do have, I am able to deal with enemies my level.

    Now, I must say that even though I have done the Dark Zone, and it's even more fun and anticipation because I am always on guard in case someone turns Rogue and or If the CPU controlled enemies will prevent me from Extracting my gear, it still does not matter because "I am still having fun!!!" So maybe if I do more Dark Zone stuff I might find some higher Tier gear?

    The Key for me is that the Game is FUN!!!! Even though the Leveling up and Character Interface / Menu could be Way Better, once you figure it out you get use to it then it is easy to do what you needed.
    The Melee is weak, and their are no Melee Weapons! Now that is weird, and one of the reasons I do not give it a 10.

    There were times at first that I thought the PVE Enemies were stupid because when playing in a team, but then I remembered, this is a RPG and their is such a thing as AGGRO - so that is why he ran right past me to attack my team mate instead. Then I even realized that I had some gear equipped that lowered my "Threat Level"...

    There is always something to do. I feel that my level progression is Good since the Max level is 30 and I am at level 18, Dark Zone level 11 and have my Base about 50% rebuilt and 62.50% of the "Main Story" complete! That is not 62.50% of the entire content complete!

    Few more things that I do not like.

    No FREE Guide - Even though I completed the Tutorial Missions, I didn't realize I was suppose to have learned something (since most of what it taught me were things that any 3rd person gamer would have most likely have understood).

    Even though finding someone to Team up with is easy in the Game, why in the heck do I have to go into UPlay to send or accept friend requests? (Or do I just not know how to do it in Game).

    The Que that I have ended up waiting in line for, that usually only happen for me after 6pm my time, so I'm sure it will be worse as more people get the game and especially weekend times. More servers is just the sensible thing to do!!! NOTE: I have never remained in que for longer than 2 minutes.

    I have to say that for a new Online only RPG. The few minutes here and their that I have not been able to play due to Login or Server or Client issues have been VERY VERY VERY Impressive (so far). I got concerened when after after having to download a big patch at launch and then just 10 minutes in the game that I got kicked out and then all Uplay Servers where down, I started feeling stupid for believing in a Game on launch day, but in less than 30 minutes (but it felt like hours - lol) I was able to log back in and have not had any more issues since!

    Since this Game did have a relatively - Short - Open Beta (but since it had one) most people that's interested in this game and have the Equipment to run it, (I'm talking about the PC version). They already know if it is the type of game they want to play!!!

    The Key for me is - It Is FUN!!!!!!!!!!    … Expand

    Gameplay wise it is okay I guess, there is quite a bit of repetition to it, go from A to B and kill C or go from A to B to C to D and find person E. It's variety comes from the landscape that these missions take place in, different parts of NYC. There are some elements which are very undersold or not well explained - like the crafting mechanics, I just don't get it - they're so basic but not explained to you in any shape or form.

    The characters in the game are quite good, they're actually well acted well thought out and some of them are likeable. I particularly like the vendors who randomly yell things at you like as you are walking to another part of the map they yell - "You won't buy quality things over there!". Missions are good, but just like the side activities - feel repetitive and the excitement comes from the locations you're playing them out in.

    The PVP dark zone is great, you can be a complete pain in the behind and murder everyone or go in there and find some great equipment and leave. Depending on what you want out of it, it can be interesting.

    Finally Graphics - yes it has been lightly downgraded from the initial E3 demo we were showed, you aren't getting dynamic textures which change with weather and snow any more and the fidelity of the cars seems less. But by and large this is the most beautiful game open world game I have ever played. The atmosphere of NYC is brilliant and it really feels like a damaged city. Sounds / Atmospheric effects and music are all excellent.

    However don't think you will run this at 60fps on 1080p/Ultra settings on anything less than a 980ti. I have not experienced any bugs or glitches, but it is a beast to run.

    Overall it is a good game, but there is a caveat that it isn't as great as you are probably going to think it will be and the repetitive nature of the game will likely grate on you.    … Expand

    Brilliant game. Majority of the problems got fixed within hours of the game being released. It IS everything it was promised to be. Big props to ubisoft for giving this game a chance

    So far so good, even though its can be repetitive you can up the difficulty really making it challenging. The Dark zone is really where its at though, i do enjoy the story but there is a tension in the dark zone that makes it really exciting. Do i go rogue or don't I?!?! I do have to state that this review is based on the fact that i have a couple friends i play with which i believe isSo far so good, even though its can be repetitive you can up the difficulty really making it challenging.

I do have to state that this review is based on the fact that i have a couple friends i play with which i believe is definitely the key. The matchmaking systems seems good but playing with people you know really makes it feel like a team!… Expand

    It's F*** too early to give a game with end game a simple score. Diablo did an okay job for the first 10 hours of game play, but sucked at end game, as a result diablo 3's rating is really low.
    played the game for a few hours, I would safely say that this game really good. It's conceptually basically a borderland game with modern graphics, combined with shooting mechanics of 'Uncharted'.    It's F*** too early to give a game with end game a simple score.

    I feel like this game is more like a RPG during leveling state, once you full leveled. It's basically a shooter game with a little bit RPG elements( healing, special attack).    … 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]
