    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. The gameplay loop for the story missions and leveling up is fun enough to keep you going. To cope with the bullet sponges you need to upgrade your gear every level.

The gameplay loop for the story missions and leveling up is fun enough to keep you going. To cope with the bullet sponges you need to upgrade your gear every level.

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

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.

Шум рикошетом отскакивает от зданий, эхом отдается в переулках и, кажется, доносится сразу со всех сторон. Это означает, что опасность может прийти откуда угодно в любое время, но это также означает, что есть больше работы, чтобы сделать. 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.

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

But on the other hand, it doesn't do much in terms of actual story in the game.

    Combat wise, I'd call it subpar at best. Bullet sponge enemies were not that much fun. But taking smart covers and fighting was overall fun for me. It really felt like i was in real gunfight. Combat mechanics felt good on the other hand. It was satisfying to kill enemies.

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

    It's designed as an online co-op game, but you can play solo. Though there seems to be a latency delay no matter what. You can't pause the game, and if you idle for too long they'll kick you out and you'll have to restart the whole mission (not even from checkpoint).

    There's lots of HUD items on your screen, particularly in the center of it, which I don't like. You can hide only some of it, some of the time. Even the enemies have health bars...

    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.

    The graphics are nice, run well, and aren't heavily demanding. But unfortunately they're the only good thing about this game. And they're not good enough to counter all the other deficits.

    As per the Co-Op/Multiplayer, you literally have no idea of how badly it is implemented, if you try the hard mode on the main quests, you will keep praying got that no one will join, because there is no way the average Division fan will be able to even reach the initial objective (literally the entrance door).
