    Living on a tropical island, around Christmas time I love to boot up The Division. No other game represents a snowed in NYC as good.

    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

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

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

    The Division looks almost as nice as the Division 2. I do really like the snowy theme of the game. Wow this game is more unforgiving than the sequel. I am getting murdered pretty quick for sure in PvE.

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

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

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

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

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

    As a solo player, this is the worst looter shooter game I have ever played. Zero game balance skew towards singleplayer. Boss enemies are just high damage high accuracy bullet sponges and all you can do is to dance around them because they can snipe you with minigun. And when there is more than one in a tight spot, you are screwed. Zero fun, very frustrating.

Incluso en unas cuantas misiones me he llegado a estresar porque no me lo podía pasar (el final por ejemplo) pero lo mejor de todo (no se si hay maas del estilo que no sean de ubisoft) es haber jugado con Diego o poder jugar con más gente. Estar ahí en una misión como un escuadrón de verdad y decir a tu compañero despacio veo malos y prepararnos y cubrirnos y decir cuantos vemos.... Es increíble. Ahora las cosas malas. La inteligencia artificial de los enemigos muchas veces era muy mala. Por ejemplo enemigos que se mueven en una línea recta todo el rato sin disparar te o que te vea uno y que no te dispare. El apartado técnico y grafico tiene un 6 ya que el juego no se ve nada mal es muy bonito y en las ventiscas de nieve queda todo súper guay pero por el otro lado muchos bugs (bugisoft ataca de nuevo) o en las animaciones muchas veces deja mucho que desear o que estás cubierto por una pared de hormigón y te pueden matar en cualquier tiempo y da igual la distancia.

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

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

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

    В то время как история в основном придерживается проверенных тропов выживания, повествование прочно выполнено. Ключевые моменты получают полные ролики, а в промежутках вы постоянно слышите радио-стеб, который точно объясняет, как ваша следующая цель способствует вашей более широкой миссии по спасению Нью-Йорка от злобных оппортунистов. Вы всегда точно знаете, что делаете и почему; уже одно это делает ваши действия значимыми. А еще тебя никогда не изображали супергероем. The Division превосходно придерживается своего мрачного, обоснованного видения вызванного медициной апокалипсиса, и это работает. Некоторые идеи требовали чуть большего развития-особенно важный враг позже, — но в целом я чувствовал себя инвестированным и погруженным в мир.    … Expand

    The guns aren't fun to use, and the general gameplay isn't fun.

    Headshots don't seem to matter, and it takes anywhere from a dozen bullets to a full clip to kill someone. This seems to tie into the fact that the game is designed for multiplayer, so they expect enemies to get shot at by multiple people. Problem is, even if you wanted to, I wasn't able to find any partners in matchmaking.

    There's no stealth killing. No crouch. No sneaking up on people and taking them out from behind.

    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

    From the first view this game may look very interesting, especially if you saw trailer, but in fact, game has some disadvantages.

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

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

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

    -I hardly hold back to vote 10/10.

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

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

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

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

There are so many problems it boggles the mind. I have never been more certain that a game has been given false positive reviews than I am with The Division. Everything negative you are reading in the reviews is true.

    If you have ever wondered why it is a bad thing to have to always be connected while playing a game, then look no further than this game as a perfect example. You get disconnected, or can't connect in the first place, for so many reasons. It's lots of fun being almost finished with a brutally hard mission and then being disconnected. It's also a great time when your profile needs to be rebuilt and you lose hours of progress or have to completely start over again.

    The AI in this game is the worst I have ever seen. I understand that AI in a game usually involves some kind of cheating to make sure it is not too easy, but this AI has no intelligence at all and consists of nothing more than flat out cheating. Your enemies can shoot you before they see you. They can shoot you through barriers, including walls. They can shoot you from incredible distance no matter what weapon they have. Their standard weapons can shoot you from further away than any sniper rifle you may have. Their weapons will also kill you in the blink of an eye. So much so that you may not even have a second to take cover before your dead. Then they will often just walk or run right up to you and kill you while your blasting them in the face the whole time. Their accuracy is incredible. They can face away from you and still hit you while firing their gun. Apparently the AI is set up so they don't have an accuracy rating, it's just an automatic hit. You, on the other hand, have to put with things like laptops and flimsy barriers completely blocking your fire while they fire right through them. It's not just enemy AI that is awful, the NPCs are terrible. The voices are disconnected from the people who are supposedly speaking. They face away from you and talk to walls when they are supposed to be addressing you. You see the same couple of interactions wherever you travel. It's so stupid they would have been better off just leaving the city empty. The civilians just casually walk right into your firefights. The soldiers who sometimes "assist" you literally never hit anything and walk casually among the enemies who have no interest in hurting them even though they are supposedly firing at them. They will, however, do as much as possible to get in your way.

    The mission design is very poor and repetitive. The fact that you have to grind so much makes that aspect even more unpleasant. Everyone talks about all of the "loot", but what is the point? Most of the items are worthless and any upgrades are immediately nullified by the enemy AI being upgraded. Getting an "upgrade" will often make things more difficult for you as the enemies more than offset any new weapons or armor.

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

    I get instruction to equip my frist skill. No explanation how to do this. So I have to figure out how to do it..
    Finally I get to go. I get three generic MMO style quests offered. Fetch this. Escort that or do this.

    Maybe in the release of the game was a mess, but right now with all the expansions, it's a really compelling looter shooter. It's about grinding, ok, but the shooter mechanics and the superb design level make this superfun.

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

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

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

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

    2 – GAMEPLAY

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

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

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

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

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

    3 – CONCLUSION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

I personally found the combat fun, especially with friends.

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

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

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

    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

    Купил игру полгода назад. Тогда она была люто скучной. Был тупой гринд.
    Выкатили пачку годных обнов. Гринд остался, но прибавил в разнообразии и интересности.
    Я остался очень доволен игрой. Жду третье DLC.

    The Division was fun for a good 100 hours. The graphics are ridiculously good and the atmosphere in the city transfers well to the player. The game mechanics work good, the game is optimized well and has a lot of configuration options. I'd even say that technically, it's one of the best games I've seen. It's a good shooter, coop is fun and all is good so far.

    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, I tried to like this game but when you need a thousand bullets to kill something gets trying very fast, As for the DZ Isn't that a fun place to go has to be the most frustrating experience ever and I don't go their now.
    As for the server maintenance down 1-2 times a week for 3 hours sorry I'm over it and have moved on to a new game, I doubt I will be buying wildlands

    I had already written one review on The Division around 2 months after it had released, I gave it a 5 then and since have had a change of heart in regards to that score. I had racked up 250 hours before writing the first review and have done considerable hours since.

I had racked up 250 hours before writing the first review and have done considerable hours since.

    Initially I had enjoyed playing this game, I'm not going to go into detail about that as it is in my initial review, I'm just going to concentrate on my experience after that which was not good. The game has so many flaws it really does beggar belief how it made it to retail, even now given the state of the game is should still not be released, bugs, exploits, glitches and the massively unbalanced nature of pvp, be it the glitch exploiters who farm the incursions for all the best gear or just plain cheaters.

    When the Underground dlc dropped I was hoping that it would put the game back on track and fix some of the issues as well as give players some much needed variation, sadly after a week or so I realized that the Underground was also as linear as the rest of the game and just as tedious and repetitive. To make matters worse, the rewards for finishing in Challenging and Heroic were horrendously poor, the infinite grind (for me at least) was never rewarding. i tried pvp again and it was just as awful as last time, my character was reasonably strong 500damage and 400stamina yet while I was wasting masses of ammo clips on players, a few shots would always take me down, despite popping my alt and using the strengths of my build. Something was glitching or I was just always matched up against people who I had no chance of beating, the balance was way off, I lost interest after that and haven't been back since and I doubt I will.

    I learned a valuable lesson though, never pre order and never buy dlc early, I threw a lot of money into this game and despite having done around 300 hours on it I still don't feel I have had my moneys worth. I should still be playing this game, sadly its faults are too big to be ignored and it just becomes boring, unrewarding and extremely repetitive to play. It's deleted from my hard drive and will probably stay that way.

    So initially I gave it a 5/10, my experiences thereafter and the fact that fixes are still proving to be elusive have made me reconsider. I now give it a 1/10 and it can be lucky it got that 1 for the overall concept. The execution of everything in this game is what contributes to my new score of 1/10, shoddy, unfinished and extremely poor execution have sullied my perception of a game that initially at least I enjoyed.

    Massive and Ubisoft promise fixes, sadly I have waited long enough and while 1.4 is imminent, sadly for Ubnisoft and Massive so is Battlefield 1, FIFA 16, Mafia 3 and a host of other games that will forever bury my interest in returning to this sorry spectacle of a game.

    I seriously urge anyone who hasn't bought it yet to read extensively on it before buying or even better, get a hands on play from friends or something, I don't think it's current price is justifiable, especially when including the dlc. In fact, if I could I'd ask for a refund but I've already played too much of it. Be careful with this game and do your homework.    … Expand

    1-30 is fun, then the game goes massively downhill. (CWATIDIDTHER?!)

    The game feels like it was designed by someone with multiple personality disorder, and those personalities are working against each other.

    Too much RNG, the devs did not learn from the mistakes of destiny and diablo 3. Despite those games ironing out their issues. Massive keeps trying to reinvent the wheel and ends up with a flat tire.

    The season pass is a joke. The monthly rewards are are a slap to the face, the monthly event is just a repurposed dark zone supply drop that gives more RNG crap.

    Their idea of new content is inflating damage numbers, health and armor numbers and increasing grenade spam.    … Expand

    You finish the story very fast (took me around 20-30 hours) and after that the game just ends unless you like spamming the same missions over and over again.

    First, it always crashes when I'm playing this game. It crashes again and again!!! My PC is fine and It doesn't happen when I play GTAV, Battlefield, Call of Duty or other games. Secondly, cheaters are everywhere in dark zone.
    I won't recommend this game to other gamers.

    dont buy this game, its total bugfest, sometimes even uplayable. invisible enemies who kills you and you can do nothing, textures and object poping right in front of you, falling through map everyday, sound shutter and many more... just dont spend money on this game, my worst spended money ever...

    Three months in and the developers still haven't fixed day 0 issues. Meanwhile the publisher has opted to push a DLC scheduled for June into August at the request of Microsoft. I'm going to think twice before I spend my money with Ubisoft or Massive in the future.

    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,

    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]
