    Ubisoft gives infratctions on their forum for even disagreeing with a decision no matter how stunningly stupid it is.
    They think ganking and griefing in the DZ is actually entertaining game content. The PC users on Steam are already down 95% and they refuse to talk about total users. No information gives them plausible deniability.
    The hitboxes are only head, neck and torso. That is all. Again, lazy game design. Weapons that share a common ammo can actually have vastly different damage. Even with the blueprints the number range it says to expect often isn't even what you end up getting.
    Crafting was nerfed because they think we should spend endless hours hoping we get a decent drop. Sorry, was this meant to be fun or a damn job?
    The Light Zone as they refer to the PVE world is dead, empty, vapid and after you finish the short main story it no longer has a reason to exist so they tossed some repetitive Incursions into them.
    Oh they also gave you the HVT's but then decided they should require a full squad, not offer a functioning matchmaking system for them and weight the drops so that they in all likelihood only give you the same damn piece of gear. You know, more of that broken ass RNG I mentioned.
    The Support people are useless. Had somebody get into my Uplay account (which I shouldn't have to go through to simply play a game I never purchased directly from them) and I ended up with a 14 day ban because of it. They gave me no way to self report it. They won't even verify the IP address, that the password was in fact changed or that they screwed with my save file and characters in the process. I was told to prove it wasn't me. WTF?
    They ban people for cheating as well without proof and then demand they prove they did not cheat either which they know there is no way to do if they give you no details as to what, where, when, how you were cheating and assume everyong has a monster hard drive and records all gaming sessions since day **** one.
    Despite a metric eff ton of positive and well thought out ideas for ways to fix the game in their feedback, they simply ignore them.
    Now they are pushing Watch Dogs 2, another game they released broken after some false advertising and then dropped all support for. Sorry, you screwed me enough times already. Never purchasing anything with their name on it ever again. I really do hope Vivendi completes the hostile takeover and fires the entire company. Black ball those asshats.
    Oh I forgot, piss poor game optimization, they lied about a functioning anti-cheat in beta, they lied about the "rewards" the Season Pass owners would get, they lied about the outfits that they were to get as well and they continue to lie about their player base. At E3 they just claimed they had 10 million active players playing 3hrs a day. They maybe sold that many copies, ever but damn sure not 10 million people playing the game for 3 hours a day.
    Nothing to see here, just another POS game from a POS company looking to take your money.    … Expand

    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.

    the crafting system is poorly designed, the weapon balance is none existent, the game modes are too short and unimaginative.there is zero reason to specialize your skills, the game itself is unstable and often has significant fps drops for no reason, gear sets are unimaginative and often unbalance the game even further. the RNG is the worst i have ever seen in a game and renders the majority of items useless.

Unfortunately the story does not elaborate on characters much, and is more of a tone setter for the multiplayer components.

    The gun play is solid, and the mechanics are respectable, but this is very much an RPG then it is a shooter. The loot drops are good, however most drops are similar and the feeling of progression isn't high. The main missions are the best part of The Division, with varying objectives, and fun moments, however the side quests get very repetitive after a while, and this leads to a sense of tedium.

    Overall i feel like the division is a well created world, with a great sense of immersion, however mission structure, and lackluster loot drops pull down the experience for me.    … Expand

    Would be an amazing single player game but it really falls short on multiplayer features, e.g. there is no character customization, no own house or some sort, not enough end game material etc.. But game has an amazing atmosphere overall, maybe it will get better in time.

    First of all, lets highlight the good points of the game. One one hand we have awesome graphics, combined with an incredible good recreation of the snowy streets of New York. On the other hand we have a difficult game, in which the engagements with the enemy must be calculated instead of just runin' and shootin'. Also the story is kinda interesting, compared with some newer games.

Also the story is kinda interesting, compared with some newer games.

    Once we have the strongest points of the game out of the way, let's talk about the negative aspects. Overall, the game feels very empty. Being repetitive helps a lot with this. The enemies are not that different between them, in comparison with other RPGs. The areas are basically the same, and the accessible buildings are copy-paste. But the worse thing is the RPG elements. The character customization is a joke. The "skills tree" is the shortest I've ever seen, which also makes you feel like you're playing an empty game.

    In conclusion, the graphics are great. But that's not all, Ubisoft. The funny part of the RPGs, which is progressing with your character, customizations, etc. are just a joke. The "campaign" is short, and after that you can only repeat again and again the same missions. Looking for a good shooter? Look elsewhere. Looking for a good RPG? Look elsewhere.    … Expand

    If you are more of MMO person and want to play with friends, you will soon hit the wall and discover that the game is broken in so many ways. In theory you can build your character the way you want but in fact... upon doing some calculations there is 0.01% change the boss will drop the item you really want (I'm simplifying for all six stats on each high lvl item). Usually it takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete a mission that drops one of those high level items. If that doesn't speak to you, let me put it another way. I have approx 250 hours of gameplay and my friend has 50. You would think that my gear is so much better than his... oh well, not at all. The difference is 7 points in the gearscore (206 vs 199) - which translates to, 'no noticable difference'. I'll let you think about it. I have never came across a game with such a 'cruel' drop system. Yes, the game provides some customization of perks on the items you have but this is extremely limited (only 1 spec can be edited out of 5+), and each time you want to change it, you have to roll and pray. This is because each time you roll a new perk it costs more. To add to it, there are a lot of hackers in the game who walk around with miniguns (usually SMGs hacked to provide crazy damage without the need to reload). Few weeks back the dev team banned some hackers for 2 weeks... I guess you know where I'm going with this.
    Furthermore the Dark Zone, which is the multiplayer zone, is so small that 3 teams of 4 can successfully clear 95% of the loot areas (where the bosses are with good *stuff). In the last 2 weeks of gameplay I enjoyed maybe 2 hours of gameplay in DZ.
    I can keep going like this but there is no point. I have highlighted most transparent flaws of the game.
    Is the game pretty, yes. Is the game fun, very... very rarely... take it from someone who 'wasted' so many hours.    … Expand

The atmosphere is fantastic and you really get the feeling of being in NYC following a catastrophic event. I didn't mind the grind to 30 and there was enough instances to enjoy along the way. It was fun to watch your BoO transform and for people to being to populate it. The mechanics are pretty solid, with the exception of moving in and out of cover can cause frustration. These are the reasons I gave it a score of 2, because everything else about the game has been a disappointment.

    There is very little class variation or ability to play a different style of game, such as being a tank or a healer. It's obvious there was some effort to create different classes, but it fall way short. So regardless of what build or talents you pick the game basically feels the same.

    One of the issues with this game is the lack of end game content. The best equipment and weapons in the game are crafted, which defeats the purpose and fun of defeating a boss or instance. The last patch supposedly addressed this, but it truly failed to do so. Once you get enough materials to craft a new weapon or piece of equipment you are left to the mercy of a RNG and it doesn't seem random at all. In fact it seems to be weighted to prevent you from getting the kind of stats you are looking for. I crafted about 30 of the same gun and ended up with one that was acceptable, not ideal.

    Glitching bosses is another issue. Players purposely glitched the game to kill the same boss over and over again. Where's the fun in that? While I never did it, I can understand it to a degree when you are subject to crafting the best stuff in the game and facing an imbalanced RNG. I dislike when people exploit an online game because it tends to ruin the over all feel and community of the game.

    The biggest issue with this game is that hackers run rampant in the Dark Zone. Even after going through the process of reporting them it seems like nothing happens. One time my friends and I even had a guy in the DZ admit he was hacking and teleporting and said he would only get a two day ban so it was no big deal. This was after he had killed us with one shot and was hiding inside a vehicle, which isn't normally accessible, so it was impossible to shoot back at him.

    How can you release an online multiplayer game without any form of anti-cheat requirements???? It's as though the developers and publisher want people to cheat. I know they say they are addressing the issue, but this is a game breaker that responding to such a serious oversight after release amounts to too little, too late for most players.

    In a game where grinding levels and gear is required by running the same instance or route over and over and over again, even to the point of complete boredom, to have another player instantly kill you because they are cheating is infuriating. At first my friends and I were angry with the cheaters, but after it was obvious that cheaters were running around unchecked it became obvious that the true issue is Ubisoft and the game itself.

    Don't waste your time or money. I wish it was different because this game has such potential.    … Expand

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 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.

    Una vez alcanzas el Nivel 30 y terminas la campaña pasas a depender de la Zona Oscura o repetir las mismas misiones de la campaña infinitas veces solo que con mayor dificultad, el problema es que o bien haces las misiones en dificultad desafiante (Lo cual es imposible si no juegas en equipo con gente buena) o bien vas a la Zona Oscura, esa zona en la que el 80% son Hackers, 10% se han aprovechado de Exploits para farmear Fenix (Por tanto viene a ser como Hackers pero de forma "legal") y 10% restante son los jugadores normales que juegan sin aprovecharse de Exploits ni usan hacks, pues bien los que somo ese último 10% de jugadores que jugamos normal solo somos dianas andantes para el resto de jugadores ya que o usas Hacks/Exploits o no tienes ninguna posibilidad, es por esto que la Zona Oscura y por ende el multijugador PVP ESTÁ ROTO, si a esto le sumamos los bugs como los disparos que atraviesan paredes (Bug que ocurre desde la primera beta cerrada, asi que imaginarse la de soluciones que ponen) entonces la Zona Oscura viene a pasar de ser zona PVP a zona de tortura y pérdida de tiempo ya que da igual lo bien equipado vayas y vayas en grupo o no porque está plagado de gentuza que destrozan el juego mas de lo que ya de por si está.

    Mi recomendación para todo el que se piense comprar este juego es que no lo haga, no confiéis en las falsas promesas de Ubisoft de solucionar problemas porque no lo harán y no es algo nuevo, para que pudieran solucionar todos estos problemas tendrían que modificar el juego de 0 y hacerlo como se debe, ahora el código fuente es una basura, es un coladero y no tiene solución posible, dicho por expertos en el mundo de los videojuegos.

    Quests outside of 'daily's' and the Dark Zone (pvp enabled quest area) are very limited but still very fun for the few days that they are original. 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.

    1. Can't use my Crossfire set up, I have to disable one of the cards so I can play without having graphic issues. Yes my drivers are up to date.
    2. Endgame is bad and is unsatisfying, with a $60.00 price tag and to end it like they did, it burns me.
    3. Character Creation is basic, with all the work they put into the World, levels textures, lighting and effects, clothing and this is what you get, a few faces with a few hairstyles and tattoos?
    4. Really no replay value, unless you really want to replay the same mission over & over & over & over again with friends or without before moving off to another game.
    5. The Incursions are linear in design (what a waste with all that effort the DEV's did in building that world) .
    6. Pvp, Rogue, Crafting and Loot system is broken and terribly unbalanced, plus there is really no point to make the effort to grind at all in the Dark Zone. Especially if your a new player trying to grind solo for better equipment or to complete your DZ daily mission or trying to grind to craft better equipment. Check the Steam forums for additional problems
    7. Enemies re-spawning / appearing out of nowhere (DZ is really bad).
    8. Boss's in the game are just bullet sponges and it gets worst as the player progresses in the story. Instead of one magazine worth of bullets in the beginning and by the time player hits the middle of the story, it would take about 5-10 magazines worth of bullets. By the time the player is near the end of the story, they will need a restock box to refill their inventory of bullets.

    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.

    Massive is more concerned playing the game at work and streaming it, rather than doing actual patch work to fix issues. Massive is more for, change something little like unable to cause damage with your gun, after a week of people cheating this way. To now, use Sticky bombs and explosive ammo to kill the target while today they announced the next "patch" will make it so only C4 (as the mission is attended for it to be) will do damage. While the major reason to the glitches that been on going for weeks, still is allowed. But hey, what do you expect from a company that makes a joke about a credit glitch called Bullet King. They took their time to patch that, than just made it into big ha ha on Ubisoft site with showcasing clips of people doing the glitch; no punishment is ever handed out for glitching. Just tweaks to the system like crafting that punishes the legit players more than anything.

You must be insane if you wish to give Ubisoft more money for stuff they haven't built while they stuff they have built does not work as intended.… Expand

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

    The games content is extremely grindy even before end game, every mission or encounter is the exact same.

    Incursion is just one giant meat grinder. Survive wave after wave in the same small area, with 0 save points. I can understand why people would rather glitch it then run it right, there is nothing rewarding about the gameplay in this mission.

    The atmosphere is amazing, this alone is keeping me playing the game.

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.

I gave this game a 9 until this happened. 4 days of falling through the world, missions not starting, getting to the end up challenge modes to only get mike errors which disco you from the game, and again falling through the world. It wears on you and people should be aware that there is a complete lack of communication from the Dev team to the players. They will lightly talk about it on twitch feeds but avoid the subject. They don't respond on the forums. They don't send in game messages, they have so many avenues to talk to people and let them know whats going on yet they are quite as church mice.

    The exploiters are the worst. They should have rolled this patch back, yet they chose to bulldoze forward. Now the changes to crafting that upped the cost was a direct cause by people using exploits. Everyone suffered because of these cheaters. Now we have super human like hacking in the DZ. There is so much evidence, yet they don't do anything. They did do 3 day bans, but nothing else that I have seen. They refuse to name the users or say what bans handed out. They won't talk about the elephant in the room.

    -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.
    -RPG: Once again if you read most of the reviews    -Character: I like the basic character customization for this game.

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.

    The graphics were dumbed downed, the features they promised are there, but in a somewhat diminished capacity from what was originally promised, I can't really blame them though, the game still looks fantastic.

    The Problem is with the artificial scaling, lack of meaningful content at endgame, repetitive nature of the dailies and the boundless, exploits, glitches and hackers, ohhh god the hackers....
    The dark zone has become polluted with too many cheaters to be really fun, the drop rates have been nerfed and then now they are guarenteed, but only the gear that drops is no longer relevant so you will likely only get something useful maybe 2-4% of the time. The addition of Supply Drops, meant to be a catalyzing force to draw players together, do just that. but the stuff that drops out of it is so meaningless most of the time, your hoping players show up because they likely have better loot, yea you don't have to extract it but after clearing dozens of these things, the best piece of gear i got was something I had already gotten from the raid/Incursion. That brings me to my next point, the Incursion, cause there is only to one right now and to be honest it is god awful, yes there were some new enemy types and yes there was the slight introduction of what would be considered mechanics, but it can all be ignored and glitched so you don't actually have to fight any of it, chessing the boss directly which the just drops your loot and de-spawns all the enemies, no mess, fuss, no hassle just free loot.

    So what does all this mean to the game, well as many other have already stated the game is basically a Diablo style game with guns, set in third person and if you like that style of game, of runnign the same thing over and over and over again just on the of chance you will get something that is slightly better than what you got from it already then even still this game is mediocre at best, looks great, astonishing at times, down right annoying at others (snowstorms come to mind). but in the end even a mediocre game is marred by exploits, glitches and hackers. I can't rightly recommend this game to anyone in its current state, and if the patches and fix priority that the developers have shown so far, not any time in the near future either.

    Verdict: Go play a real shooter if you want to player a shooter. Go play a real Rpg if you want to play an Rpg. This game does a disservice to both genres, and it had so much potential too, the developers missed the ball by a long shot here.    … Expand

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

    Expectations were high when the game was released, and yet it crushed all hope set in it. I don't even know where to start... first, I played it ~41 hours in all possible ways, a lot of PvE, a lot of PvP, solo, in groups, etc. So you know what my opinion is based upon.

    So let's start.

    First of all the graphics. While The Division looks really good, it is not as good as seen in several trailers (which is a quite common problem with games, I guess). Also, you'll experience significant FPS drops while playing, for no reason. This could be caused by your PC, but most likely, it's a server-sided problem.

    Next point: the servers are very, very unstable, resulting in random disconnects, login problems and all the other known issues. Plus the servers aren't divided into areas, it's quite possible for you to read korean, russian and a lot of other languages in the chats.

    Now the multiplayer. Well. Cooperative is fun with friends, gotta admit, and playing with a good team is really cool. But on the other side, the Dark Zone (open PvP zone with PvE elements) and all its gameplay is neither balanced, nor fair, nor funny. It's grinding, and nothing else, just grinding, all the time.

    Yet another problem in this game: Its items, its inventory, its weapons. The weapon system is similar to that of Borderlands/Borderlands 2, meaining the weapons have levels which define a weapons traits, like damage per second (DPS) and skills. The inventory itself is very overloaded and confusing, it'll take a while until you can actually handle it.

    But now, something more positive: the games missions and plot. Most missions are very, very repetitive, you do them in the one sector, after having finished them, you proceed to the next one, do the same ones again, and all the same again. Sounds not very positive? True, but most missions are good ones in the first place, they just start getting boring after a few hours. The plot itself is interesting, and the whole game shows a realistic post-apocalyptic Manhattan after a huge catastrophe. The atmosphere is really good and immersive, and by collecting various collectibles, you'll get a lot of side informations about what could happen in an apocalyptic scenario, but also about main characters, villains etc. The plot itself is okay, with the Division being a secret government department which is activated after the catastrophe became too hard to handle for other departments, such as police and army (JTF, in this game, =Joint Task Force). But well, that's pretty much it.

    Overall, this game can be very frustrating, boring and repetitive, especially after you finished the main storyline, but it can also be funny in multiplayer - beside technical difficulties and bugs. What annoys me the most is the lost potential, because Manhattan, even though it looks graphically good, seems so... lifeless and empty. There's not much to do for you except missions and occasionally help a citizen, and this is just a waste for the good and interesting setting.

    Because of all of this, it gets 3/10 from me.    … Expand

    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 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.

Elitist mentality has lead to Ubisoft caving to the most vocal, but least representative members of the community.

    Frankly, if 1.1 is the line that The Division is taking, I don't care to see how it all winds up. Like many of the Twitchcasters and YouTubers I follow who are Division fanbois, I'm probably just going to step back and see what happens. Looks like this is going down the Destiny route. No more "D" titled MMO lites (or ANY MMO lites for that matter, as we all know it's just disguised DRM).

    Original review:
    Yea, I have to say I'm impressed. As a Twitch caster I watch said, "It's not like a Ubisoft game. It's actually good." I have to say, after watching both the PS4 and PC version, I'm happy to say that I was COMPLETELY wrong and they didn't gimp the PC version for parity. Even after the "Watch Dogs" debacle, I believed that they wouldn't change their stance. It still sold quite well, despite the flak. "Money talks and BS walks", the axiom goes. I fully expected Ubisoft to treat us as they should have, given "Watch Dogs" and the latest series of "Assassin's Creed" financial successes.

    I have to say I've moved back to a guarded positive about the big publishers, such as Bethesda and Ubisoft, who didn't take the EA "Screw 'em. They still come back." attitude.

    Now that I've reached the endgame, it's VERY apparent that there was not much bug hunting, or testing. It's rather a bit of a mess. This has the potential of Destiny, really good in concept, but it's lack of sufficient testing will cost it in the long run.

    This game shouldn't disappoint, but it's certainly not worth full value, either. Twenty percent off is the lowest discount I'd tolerate (I had a bit more). If you are cheap like me and $5 is good for a two hour movie, then you will get 20 hours of enjoyment out of the game. If you are looking for a long haul actual MMO experience, Ubisoft will have to pull a magical golden talking rabbit out of their collective bums.    … Expand

I'llThe Division is an online shooter with multiplayer elements, where you assume the Role of a Division Agent. 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 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

    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.

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

    It's a good game too spend only with friends who want to play many hours on it.

    For players who don't live in USA or Europe the ping in the darkzone can break your balls, like me. In the beta you could but items in the darkzone according to your level. Now you have only stuffs to level 30 and when you reach that and want to buy items there are only to level 50 (Darkzone level).
    The only things it serves in the game are designs to craft materials and have better weapons or stuffs.
    There is no DLC since I writing this review so I hope to enjoy more this game.    … Expand

    An very mediocre Game. Kinda punishing when you play solo. Recommended to play atleast duo. Still has some slight performance issues even on good Rig's. Get's very repetitive when you're max Level (30), Dark Zone (pvp) is unplayable alone - unless you don't care for good Loot. Since i got it for free (nvidia promotion) it's okay. But i wouldn't pay more than 30$ for this Game. On top ofAn very mediocre Game. Kinda punishing when you play solo. Recommended to play atleast duo.

    Pretty disappointed by Ubisoft:
    Repetitive side missions, route repetition, bad, and easily exploitable multiplayer function and end game content, slow progression in banning blatant multihack users (Aimbot, 1 Hit kill, Shooting through objects, & teleporting around the map) etc:
    The environment looks nice map is rather large immersive, and graphics are rather nice when turned up. but    Pretty disappointed by Ubisoft:

    The environment looks nice map is rather large immersive, and graphics are rather nice when turned up. but nothing really creative has been done with it, copy and paste side missions and railed story missions and challenges, no decision mechanics in such a large game. boring as **** loot grind that no one but the lifers will ever really bother with, horribly delayed shot registration, half assed server tick rate, multiplayer disconnects, and broken Uplay functionality hobble what could have been a great game.

    so much potential flushed down the drain really could have been one of the best games in a long time but it will turn out to be an over priced flavor of the month exercise in mediocrity and corporate powered game creation.    … Expand

    Tom Clancy's The Division was a game with a lot of expectations, but achieved little. The story had a lot of potential, however, it is very badly told, and became disappointing.

Overall, The Division is a normal game is not innovative, is not a remarkable game and neither is a game of the year, the multiplayer is what saves this game, The Division is a disappointment, to which may be the disappointment of the year Ubisoft did not yield what it promised. 6/10… Expand

    The game is a lot of fun. I get the negative reviews mainly because the hype was too high and some people are a little dissapointed. Game is a non complex MMO with RPG features in it and it delivers lots of fun with you're playing with friends, etc. Graphics are great, gameplay is pretty decent and the story is OK. Give it a try!

    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. If you are a Tom Clancy fan, this game is REALLY thin in terms of the Clancy universe and it's use of the license. 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. If you believe this is a twitch shooter in the ilk of COD or HALO, look elsewhere. If you are a Tom Clancy fan, this game is REALLY thin in terms of the Clancy universe and it's use of the license. 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.

    Let me know if you enjoyed my review, or found it helpful in making an informed purchasing decision!    … 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]
