    The very definition of mediocrity. Bland mechanics, shooting feels uninspired, missions are mind-numbingly repetitive. An unsuccessful mishmash of tactical shooting, RPG, and MMO; Ubi should have picked one and stuck with it. Wait for this game to drop in price, or borrow from a friend.

    Shallow is the perfect description. It has no substance, no quality, just a shallow safe-play cash grab. Nothing new to see from any genre - as a shooter, rpg shooter, mmo-esque destiny type, or even video games in general. Quests, characters, story, npc's, ability tree, upgrades, gameplay styles - the total package here people, all are a resounding... eh. Forgettable and highly deletable.Shallow is the perfect description. It has no substance, no quality, just a shallow safe-play cash grab.

    This game is just a cheap cash in that does nothing original. It's just a shallow third person cover shooter with other players and loot (whoop de do). The graphics are good but they pulled a Watch Dogs again, meaning they lied to their consumers. There are microtransactions and plenty of connection problems. Just a overall shallow and cheaply made game for the casual gamers everywhere.

    How does this game have an 80 percent? It sucks. I have no clue why people except this as a passable game. It's loaded with problems that so many people have failed to address or have just flat-out ignored.

    The game was completely unplayable at launch, as I spent 2 hours trying to join get in a server. Even when I finally got in, I had to wait in an in-game line to access a terminal that only one player can use at time. That's right. A f*cking line. In a video game. And it only got worse from there.

    Luckily, the problems at launch were fixed quickly, so I'll give them credit there. However, that didn't fix the other problems. First, the story, which is boring and uninteresting, but honestly, I saw that coming. Second, the monotony. The Division is the most repetitive game I've ever played. Mission after mission, all you're doing is going from point A to point B and killing dudes in hoodies, who are the most bullet-sponge enemies I've ever encountered in a game. The bosses aren't much better, and are pretty much just more powerful dudes in hoodies. To give you an idea of how bland the enemies and bosses are, the final boss is a helicopter.

    Then there's the Dark Zone, the single worst part of the game. The Dark Zone was planned to be a PVP area where players could battle it out for special loot. However, when you kill someone in the Dark Zone, you're marked rogue, and every player on the map can see you, so you become a giant target for people to come and kill. Because of the AI coming to kill you, it actually benefits you more to work together, which means you're doing the exact same thing in the Dark Zone as you were doing in the main game.

    Lastly, there's the endgame, which happens when you get to level 30. What you get is daily missions and some extra loot. I tried one of these missions and realised it was exactly the same as every other mission I had done before, so I dropped out of it quickly.

    Overall, The Division is probably the worst game Ubisoft has ever released, and one of the worst games I've ever played. It's not completely broken, but it's still really bad. I can't recommend it to anyone, unless you like repetitive gameplay.

    I did not like this at all.

    - Enemy AI are bullet sponges
    - I feel that the city is empty and I'm always walking around
    - Story is pretty light
    - Not many enemy models
    - Aiming and recoil mechanics at times are undesirable
    - Very repetitive.. Just a soulless series of fetch quests.

    Graphics and city detail are nice!

    Not worth $60

The endgame is really lacking and the only reliable way to get gear right now is crafting, which makes replaying missions useless. At the moment i can't say that i am looking forward to anything the game has to offer. I will probably be back for incursions, but i will do them once or twice and i will be done. Unless they have some interesting mechanics, which are otherwise lacking in the campaign and dark zone.
    The dark zone is where the division is at its most worst in my opinion. Unless you want to craft things, there is 0 need for you to extract. I heard that the new patch increased the rogue percentage but it's just not enough for me since most of the time the items i get are too boring to extract, and that's what i usually get with 185 scavenging. I had only one yellow drop that wasn't even an upgrade to the vendor stuff. Not even in terms of armor or any other stat that isn't a talent.
    The gameplay is solid but it is severly lacking. There's no variety to anything, since the actives are just that, only actives, and don't require much skill to deploy. The guns are somewhat different and they feel different, which is the only nice thing i can say about the gameplay.
    If you are expecting interesting missions, well, all i can say is that the game is just horde mode. The last boss has some kind of a mechanic (if you pay attention to the dialogues) but can easily be ignored and shot through without any problem.
    What is the most unfortunate thing for me is that i bought the season pass, but i already feel like this is the last game i'm going to play because it is nothing more then a deception and it is so boring it got me bored of gaming in general, and i'm not even salty when i'm saying this.
    Although i cannot say that they failed anything, not even the dark zone is really that bad, it is just boring, which is different from complete failure, this game just doesn't seem to be engaging enough for me to keep playing it. The lack of dropped loot and the lack of boss mechanics really kill it for me.

    I really liked the game at first, but It frustrated me more than anything, and this is not what I want to be feeling when playing a GAME.
    It takes 25 bullets to kill 1 enemy (or 5 headshots), the aim is completely off, especially when guys with baseball bats run at you, they always seem to dodge for some reason. It takes you 8 bullets to kill them but they kill you with 2 baseball bat

    Melee (for your player) is terrible! just a measly kinda back hand small hit, nothing that will do any damage to your opponent though. No way to sneak and strangle, or brawl. Is that what they teach these supposedly highly trained, last resource soldiers?
    you die, and have to start from zero...
    Thanks but the 6 hours demo was enough for me to decide to buy another game, this game is totally out of whack and not enjoyable.

    The Division is a very hard to play game. I hate those checkpoints, when you die and have to go back from let's say 0,3 km or more to the place you died and start again to kill lots of lots of cleaners. It's annoying.

I knew it was going to just be a filler game for me but I haven't wanted to see a game to fail as badly as I want to see The Division fail. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay and story were fine (if uninspired and didn't feel particularly rewarding killing anything) up through level 30 but it promotes the most immoral, immature play in the Dark Zone and the constant accusations of "being a weak player" from the horrible community that surrounds the game doesn't help. It's a shame that the community is such a negative one but the design of the game encourages that attitude.

    The dark zone could be an exercise in tactics but it's largely just a cesspool of high level players killing new players at the entrance gates or extraction zones; not for gear but to hinder the other players. The general DZ community (which is the only community left) thrives on making the other players' time worthless and they consider that "fun". You see "manhunt" videos on youtube with players just killing whoever seeing how long they can go. Sure they're interesting to watch but putting yourself in the victims' shoes, they could've just gotten a drop they actually wanted just to have it taken from them for some nobody making a youtube video no one will watch. Outside of the terrible DZ community, the DZ is really just an area you run around collecting boxes of division tech which allows you to craft the highest tier of weapon or armor but the catch is you have to buy blueprints from DZ vendors with a separate DZ currency and DZ rank requirement (Don't worry about currency though. You'll have about 50 times what you need by the time you reach the rank you have to be). The only things worth crafting are somewhere around rank 50+ which is several hundred hours of DZ play with minimal backwards progress whenever you die. That sums up end game. Collecting boxes of crafting materials to craft weapons that have Destiny ratios of bad perks to good perks in the hopes that once you finally get all the requirements to make your weapon (or armor) you get to roll the dice with now hundreds of hours of work and that's if you know what perks you want and can utilize based on your other gear. Then, you don't have any content to use your new perfectly crafted gear (because you somehow didn't get shafted 500 times in a row) so you go back to collecting boxes of materials now for no good reason. That's it. Box collecting. You don't even shoot at enemies anymore because they can't give you anything you want. the only reason to shoot an enemy is because it's in the way to your next box.

    The incursions are no more than challenging story missions that have the same reward to time invested problem the rest of the game has. Everything in "end-game" pve has so much health that it doesn't actually matter what weapons you use since you'll run out of ammo in the first room... for every weapon you have. The difficulty scales with the number of people in the squad so don't worry, all your friends don't have any ammo after the first room either. It gets better if everyone is geared properly but they're still a slog for a drop that isn't going to be worth it. You might as well be visiting your favorite boxes of materials.

    Unless you can dedicate hundreds of hours to grinding gear, holding square to collect boxes of materials, don't mind wasting tons of your free time to someone who, on a whim, kills you and takes any progress you might have made in the past hour or so, and have thick enough skin to not get mad at 80% of the playerbase **** you, you're never going to get or stay up to date or be able to do or craft anything worthwhile (and that's if content that fits that description is created as it doesn't exist at this time). There's nothing to do in this game once you arrive at end-game. Save your money. Borrow it from someone, watch a playthrough of the story on youtube or twitch or wait for a really good sale and don't get your hopes up for anything worth doing after you finish the story. Almost any game is better than The Division in its current state and PS4 doesn't even have all the hacking issues PC has.

I'm not sure why I bought it as I didn't like Destiny and have never enjoyed any MMORPG, I guess I was just really hoping I could find the first online co-op game on the PS4 worth playing since Bloodborne as my brothers and I haven't had very much to play together over the last six months.

    At best the game could be described as unambitious but to be honest I've simply found it downright boring. The cover based shooting is functional, but its not even close to being as good as something like Gears of War, and the RPG elements just turn everything into a grind (and don't get me started on the bullet sponge enemies). Add in an instantly forgettable storyline and 6 hours is about as much of The Division as I can take.

    This game is painfully average. You will find many people giving positive reviews to justify their purchase. As was covered by the Angry Joe review - this was a great disappointment to many. Do not be one of the people who say it's fantastic just to justify your purchase. Care about gaming - tell the truth. Unless you like bullet sponges and repetitive gameplay ofcourse.

    The division is an ok cover based shooter (although no player uses cover in PvP but ubisoft over looks that ) up until lvl 30 (the max) upon reaching this milestone the game changes from exploring and liberating to daily mission, dark zone and incursion grinds.
    High end gear is extremely difficult and rare to find. Crafting is , to be honest, a joke as you can not craft nothing decent unless you spend 300,000 dark zone points and need to be lvl 75 in the dark zone. Multiplayer nerfs lover gear score players as group quickly kick any player with a low gear score which , in essence, means ubisoft is acutely rewarding players who have used the cheats and exploits to get the best gear.
    The utter lack of thought that ubisoft has approached the end game with is shocking, and please remember this game was 4 years in the making!!! Every update they are tweaking and changing things. Upon launch named weapons were considered the best, after the update they are nothing short of a joke.
    Save you money. DON'T BUY THE SEASON PASS!!! Get another game, hopefully something non ubisoft so they can't screw it up!

    3. Dark Zone, an integral part of farming gear for the end-game is basically a ganking paradise where griefers and trolls outnumber normal players, making it near impossible to get play in this zone without these people ruining you experience. Even worse is the "Rogue" system is so onesided, that it is usually abused by griefers instead, keeping them free to gank you to hell, without being punished or targeted. A horrible, horrible system.
    4. Co-op missions have a somewhat solid matchmaking system, only problem is that if a player leaves the group, which they do OFTEN, you have to start the entire mission over, since people cant join mid game.

    This is just a short list of the many many frustrating parts of this game. I have to admit that it is strangely addictive, and the story line is fairly interesting. But I have no idea how a AAA title can be this flawed both from a functional point, as well as a gameplay point. I bought the season pass along with the title, and I have to admit that i honestly regret this decision now.

Lost to factions and gangs, the government sends in Division Agents to reclaim the city. The Division is a third person shooter with a mix of RPG and MMO elements. Your character runs around the city completing missions, side quests and encounters to secure zones throughout the city. However this game is riddled with problems. Firstly, the story to the game is not presented well, the side missions are repetitive and provide nothing but your time The missions are too easy and the Dark Zone (the games PVP) is ridiculously boring and and filled with cheap tactics, glitches and cheats.

    To excel in PVP you gear means everything. In a game where gear specs are completely random this can be quite frustrating as luck plays more of a factor than skill in being a unstoppable force in the Dark Zone. The shotgun NPC's are overpowered and over accurate, the gear drops are so randomized it is extremely frustrating as your search for the best in slot gear. A lot of the games abilities and talents are broken or glitched. The loading times are unbearable. With the exception of the Dark Zone area, you never once encounter another player running around the city unless in a party, making the city a very bleak underpopulated world.

    This game has potential, but very problematic. The developers are new to this genre of games and vast issues the game faces shows it. On a positive note the graphics are very appealing. But we all know graphics aren't what make a game great.

    Overall this is a mediocre game. Maybe The Division will improve in the future, but in the meantime it is a game to get if you literally have nothing better to do. For the trophy hunters, getting the platinum trophy is extremely easy, however there are grinding elements especially with the collection of collectibles throughout the game world. The PVP trophies are simple especially if you have a friend to kill trade.

They're just dudes with bigger health bars, with the final boss just being one giant health bar while enemies spawn around you to insta-kill you as you're camped in a corner, just unloading magazine after magazine into it. The game is perhaps better to play with friends? But in the end, you're all just doing the same thing. Emptying bullets into a health bar that goes down a bit faster. That, and there's still plenty of bugs in this game, like enemies just teleport spawning in front of you suddenly. Some cover areas are bugged to where you can't walk around their corners/unable to climb over them/running into an invisible wall when all you want to do is just drop down five inches of its ledge. Wait awhile before you pick this game up. It needs far more interesting content and fixes before it can even dream of being worth sixty bucks. Expand

    But if you're a single player like me, you're going to be very bored. I wouldn't have bought the game in the first place if I knew the single player experience was so hollow. The reviews I read said that the main story was still fun if you were playing it by yourself. It's just not true. This game is meant to be played with friends.

    I think it's false advertising to say this game has "RPG elements." Sure, you level up and can use better gear throughout the game, but that's not all it takes to be an RPG. An RPG needs to have dynamic characters, and those just don't exist in this game.

    I don't understand it. You have all these game studios fighting over a few storyboard writers. It's like, "Did you hear that Mass Effect lost so-and-so to Bungie. That means Destiny 2 is going to be so good and the new Mass Effect is going to be terrible." But shouldn't there be like a whole bunch of good storyboard writers out there? How hard is it to write a good story for a video game?

    Hard enough, I guess.

    This game has everything to be the worst game of the year . Ubisoft again, making the worst games market . Glitch and hacks are minimal things to be tidy in this waste.

    I must admit I'm baffled by all the positive reviews this game is getting, although maybe it's because I'm playing solo and have no interest in joining up with randoms. The game is repetitive and boring, with limited variety in enemies and gameplay. After loving Fallout 4, Metal Gear V and other games over the last few months, I found the Division very average in comparison.

    Although there are many interesting elements, and the co-op / pvp in the deathzone can be really funny and "new" as a concept, the game is really - REALLY - repetitive, in a boring way.
    The game has just 5 or 6 "types" of missions, repeated all over until you hit level 30, this means that after 2 hours you've already seen everything the game has to offer in terms of gameplay, because the

    This is gonna become even worse when you think that every new addition to make the gameplay just a little more enjoyable is gonna be payed as a DLC.
    If you wanna waste time with friends, this game could be a cool thing, otherwise just don't buy it.

    horrible AI, a bad story, low motivasion to do anything in this game. it is obvious that reviewers are paid, this game is garbage, enemies are almost as bad AI as the npc civilians. all in all, this game is as many others: a good idea served only as a side to the main dish, **** and poo poo

    It won't win converts to the genre and the plot is problematic, but The Division is a handsome open-world offering, spiked with treachery. [May 2016, p.81]

    That's the essential nature, and essential problem, of The Division's underlying structure. It's asking you to hunt gear with no tangible reward in terms of what you can do, how you do it, or what you look like doing it. [May 2016, p.108]

    It builds a strong foundation on the gameplay front, offering up rewarding combat and simple skills, but doesn’t follow that with anything substantial, being content to let the standard end game grind and excellent-yet-stressful PVP try to cover all the questions its writing leaves you with.
