    Ну да игра конторы Юбисофт, ужасный опен ворлд, контент тоже плохой, боёвка дешёвая, игра не уровень AAA, даже не инди

    I just can't play. I have a good Internet, good PC but I get bugs. For example, enemies just do not load . It's like I'm playing with the invisible. Instead give the enemies of intellect , Ubisoft just gave them a lot of health. They just run at me, and my weapons do not cause them any damage. Very glad, that not spent on this game their money . Neither do you.

    This game is filled with bug and the developers don't even care of fixing it.

I also notice some occasional graphical lag in game this happens randomly. I do love the game but that being said i wished there were a little less technical issues. I hope the devs work a lot harder on the next division title. I will probably wait to see the reviews before buying next time though. Expand

    Update 1.8 is the best Division has ever been

    The loot is fixed
    the DZ is about the same as always
    grind reduction is nice
    play how you want is always good
    social design is good
    loot boxes can be ignored but there
    lots to do, GE are kinda bad because if you miss it, you miss it.

    I'm only ever interested in single-player content so being forced to always be online is a huge thumbs down from me.

    The idea and setting of this game are both very interesting... what a waste.

    Still, ofc it may get repetitive once you already complete all activites and max your equipment, as content is not infinite. Still most of the end-game content is nicely replayable, with randomized tasks and such. Equipment is varied.

Next thing you know a ladder kills you, because of a new bug. Or you're doing one of the Incursions where you fight waves of enemies, only to have a game crash at the final wave. What started as a good looking and interesting game with possibilities is continuously turning unplayable and unfun. The players have noticed and there seem to be less and less players from day to day. The game itself would be a 7 or 8 itself if everything would be working but in the state it is in and since the game developers seem to have skipped some programming and quality assurance courses, the game is not worth anything above a 4. Very sad, was really hoping for this game to be as good as advertised. Expand

    Relent and connect steam to Uplay.
    The division finally starts.
    Log in. Get a series of images passing by so fast you can't actually watch it. Yeah, some kind of virus killed the populace. Get on with it.
    Emerge in a street. I can choose a character. I am a woman and I am white. The only two white women are a young dyke(only cropped haircuts) or the older variant of that girl with the option of having a small pony tail. The young girl is plain looking, the older one is ugly.
    I get annoyed.
    Picked the young one.
    Get instructions how to shoot(i know this stuff already so let's get going).
    The sign of button pops up. I probably have to press it. No explanation which button it is, so finally go into the menu and look at the controls: it is the space bar.
    Ok. Lets go. Press shift. I don't sprint.
    Look again in the controls: shift is sprint. Press shift again: can't sprint.
    Get seriously frustrated..
    Follow the instruction to shoot at the assigned objects and jump over obstacles.
    Can sprint now with shift.
    So they only unlock the sprint control after your followed the instructions.
    Move to some safehouse that I was ordered to go to.
    Safehouse crawls with people Called TSSSSsssK or GotaGartcha baby. UnderBeat or Malaficky. That I know from MMO's. What are all these people doing in my singleplayer?
    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.
    Stopped game., deinstalled it and asked a refund.

    According to steam I played this game 39 minutes. It feels like I did not play at all.
    Looks nice though.

    It is forced always online. If severs or your internet connection goes down the game shuts down. When developers decide they don't want to support the game anymore and don't bother releasing an offline patch you will have bought an useless brick.

    I bought this game during the Steam Summer Sale for $9 without any DLC, and am I weird to say I love this game?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Division is a fun game with great world building elements, and a solid story.

    The Story behind The Division is a fun one, and the best parts of the game revolve around the tone, and atmosphere of the world.

The world building is The Division strongest feature, with NYC represented in such a meticulous way, with an added sense of despair, and dread that really makes you feeling as if this city is in the clutches of disease. 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.

    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.

    Its worth playing for the single player experience for about $10, thats about it.

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

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

    Anyway, let's break it down:

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

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

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

The world is incredibly detailed and depicts a populated city after an apocalyptic fallout very well. 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.

And still nothing is done. Players are leaving the game in droves only the botkids are soon left. I have requested a refund at least on the season pass here in GMG though I doubt it. Stay away from this wreck of a game until it gets a GOTY and they have fixed the exploits and hack situation. Who puts serious data on the client side today? *sigh*. Ubisoft should be ashamed Expand

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

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

    1 – GENERAL

    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.

    1 – GENERAL

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

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

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

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

    2 – GAMEPLAY

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

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

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

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

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

    3 – CONCLUSION

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

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

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

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

    Very good game!

    Somewhat limited, but fun and interesting talent tree that adds some extra choice to your preffered playstyle.
    Good UI Design

    Game can get a bit repetitive at points, because of the low variety in mission types.
    Controls are mediocre (no manual crouching, forced cover system.)

    Character design/creation is of abysmal quality, with just a few very generic options.
    expect to come across tons of people looking exactly like you.

    Character clothing, even though there are many options,
    most of them are simply recolors/retextures of the same item and feel very lackluster.
    (no long coats, cool facemasks or puting your hoodie up)

    No open world mutiplayer, if you play this game alone without friends, you will only see people inside the safehouse.

    Dont bother getting any of the DLC , its not worth the money.
    Just buy the base game only.

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!

    Cheers!

    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.

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

    Наверное самая отличительная игра Ubisoft от всех прочих. Много хейта словила игра в свой адрес, прошлась все по тому же пути, рендер ролика на выставке. Но сама игра получилась не плохой и даже интересной. Чего стоит заснеженный Нью Йорк в период праздников. Мне как любителю сингл игр, вполне понравилась идея онлайна, так-как вы можете играть в одиночку или выбрать на пару миссий, игроков из авто подбора, если у вам нет своей команды. Так же понравилось, большое количество разной экипировки, системы крафта, апгрейдов, но вот система навыков скудная и особо выделить не могу, за какую ветку играть. Стоит выделить первые впечатления от "Темной зоны", где все намного веселей и серьезней и вот там точно нужны товарищи, которые прикроют вас иначе сгинете в одиночку, но есть и минус, постоянное прибытие врагов волнами и появления из неоткуда. Не знаю на сколько хватит этой игры в плане часов, но я бы спокойно отыграл около 25+, геймплей конечно однообразен и может наскучить даже спустя пару часов.

    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.

    The frostbite engine looks amazing but makes it impossible to track and ban hackers as said by the developers and is quite and oversight of using this engine. As detailed as the map of New york is its just so DAMN EMPTY, put more npcs patrolling or allow players with open matchmaking to encounter each other sometimes as they're navigating the city. The darkzone feels just as desolate, you expect 24-28 players to occupy the 9 segments of the DZ? The fact that rogues can end their manhunt through rogue terminals proves otherwise. I've seen 4 man teams go manhunt 4 times before anyone tried to stop them from redeeming their manhunt.

    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.

    This game has been in my library for a while but i only recently sat down to enjoy this title and i did, although this game does come with it's issues, it still kept me invested with it's game play and environment.

    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.

    Great game design and background, but lack of debug effort and poor operations, too much hacker at pvp area; After the RED STORM take over the operations game is much better in PVE, but still can't do much better about hackers.

    Gear? The same 3 items with the same 3 mods, but they come in different colors and levels! What do the colors and levels mean you ask? Nothing! But at least you won't notice the complete halt of progression after two minutes of playtime.

    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).

    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.

    Okayish game. A nice concept but badly developed story. Not much detail on the lore... Everything is being pushed by emails, phone recordings etc. All those do a good job conveying the "chaos" feeling that the city has due to the outbreak. 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

    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.

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.

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

    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
