It is the last I bought from Ubisoft. From minimum 5 games a year in 2014 and before to 0 in 2015 due to their repetitive usage of similar systems in every game but no further innovation, I was hoping for something else but have nothing now. Nothing...as in a 1 as final score. Screw Ubisoft Expand

    Usually i really don't care about making reviews for game, but this time this game was so boring that i felt i had to do one exceptionnaly.

    The division is an extremely repetitive and boring game.
    I played it during 8 Hours , and found absolutly nothing to do after grinding for hours and running in the the dark zone .

    All missions are litteraly the same ( clean this area , go there and press A )

    Let's put this clear , this game is all about grinding again and over again . The storyline is non-existent . The graphics are probably the worst i've seen for a AAA games of this budget, and the PC port is just ridiculous ( can't get decent framerate with 980ti )

    It's obvious this game was downgraded from the ground up , that's is to say not only the graphics were set to be poor , but the gameplay too.
    The idea was clearly to match Destiny , with a game that could adress toward as much people as possible.

    Weapon modding is really really cool, but seriously , why the hell can you add a suppresor to a Machine Gun ?

    The weapon are absolutly unbalanced , sniper is the perfect weapon while classic riffle take thousand of bullet to kill a single enemy.

    The darkzone is the worst concept i've seen .
    Basically you end up in 1 vs 30 match if you hit someone by accident or if try to have fun by going "rogue" with the whole map running at you with no chance to survive .

    This make me laugh when people say the dark zone is a good concept. It's a lazy as f*ck concept so that Massive don't have to write a match making system , capture the flag or deatch match gameplay.

    I honnestly think massive wasn't ready at all for this game . Seriously those guy did "Just Dance Now" ... i don't think this was possibly enaugh to do a AAA from scratch.

    This game tries too hard to copy Destiny and to hide it .

    If you like , deep and complex game , just avoid this garbage.
    If you like grinding , stupid gameplay , and loot based game, you're going to love The Division !

When starting the gameplay on Tuesday, there was all of the excitement that goes with it. The game started a little slow with similar missions but most games have "training" period so I remained confident that it would soon pick up. After a few more hours of gameplay, sadly it didn't get much better. All of the missions have a grinding, monotonous feel. Also, it takes a full 2 clips of ammo to take down “easy” rioters that can kill you in 2 shots. I knew this was an MMO from the start, but the game really forces you into playing with others as some missions you just can’t get past alone. Sometimes I just like to go Han Solo and not HAVE to rely on others to help me out, you know? Hopefully, an update/patch can fix that for people who like unaccompanied play too. Expand

But to unlock this location I needed to complete all the tasks located in my spot, however it was simply impossible to choose any task! There is no legend on the map informing you about sidequests, events, etc. - you're just running around the city like a complete idiot wasting your time. And you really don't have a clue what to do. I completed the first mission 3 times just to level up hoping something will unlock, but nooo! Generic, boring, badly design, worst game in YEARS! Oh, the creators came up with an "awesome" idea - you cannot kill an enemy with even 2 or 3 headshots - even though you're using a machine gun. Yup, that makes sense! Really - don't waste your money on this - I wonder how actually this game gets positive reviews from some representatives of the press. I have a theory... Expand

    People have been locked out of this game for weeks with little to no word from ubi. These people also had hard earned gear deleted from their characters. This glitch was apparently cause by crafting a backpack (so they clearly did not test their game very well).

    All in all, this is still a beta game at best.

    Very repetitive and lacks story. Doesn't connect your actions to the whole of the game very well. Seems to focus more on continued combat and grinding then on story development.

The game, while beautifully recreating a post-pandemic (it is not post-apocalyptic folks) New York looks great left me with less enthusiasm and more outrage. I did my time with Destiny and was hoping for a similar experience, granted Destiny Vanilla was frustrating for most at least the game felt different depending on your playstyle and your loadout. The Division, while possibly better looking to some (I prefer/remember Destiny having a bigger impact for me) offers little in variation. Sure you have your skill-trees but everything else plays the same. The only difference in weapons are automatic, shotgun, marksman rifle or pistol. I got to level 15 and felt no difference in my armory. Visually your character looks roughly the same throughout, and the character design is very limited for a self-proclaimed RPG. On top of that the missions that I completed were repetitive and the NPC's were all the same annoying characterization of angry New Yorkers. It was grating. I was completely disappointed by the process and managed to return my copy luckily. Wait a year, and then buy this game. Maybe then it will live up to the hype because currently the Darkzone is busted (check out Forbes for a great article on that) and they've of course put up a huge paywall of DLC which is the norm now.

Enemies are just bullet sponges which i understand is what all rpgs are at their core , but I'm sorry dumping a belt of .308 out of an M60 into anybody, body armor or not, will turn you into pulp. Which as you progress becomes a repetitive, agonizing, chore. Hell you're lucky if some of them even flinch after dumping a magazine into their skull. On top of that the storyline missions are the only unique things in the entire game every side mission and encounter are the same damn thing in each zone. Playing solo honestly feels punishing at times, like the game designers strictly intended for you to play this with at least one friend or not at all. Why? Because when you're going up against a heavily armored elite enemy nothing slows them down except flashbangs. So when they bullrush you, which most of the elites do, running is almost as bad as as just standing there and dumping bullets into them and taking everything they got. Character progression is horribly implemented as all of your abilities, perks and talents are received from upgrading your base. This wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the fact that you have no control how you receive the different wing upgrade points, which in the beginning is mostly medical meaning if you want to run with tech or security settings you have to progress through more than half of the game to really get into them. Then there's your level which is pretty much pointless as per its only real purpose is to limit the gear you can wear. So even though hardcores who defended that this game wasn't Destiny even before an alpha or beta was released, it is and it has all the same pitfalls Destiny had. Honestly, without the fantasy element that Destiny has this game is going to dead end quick, I mean if the government quarantined a deadly outbreak and containment got this bad realistically they would eventually just have to cut their losses and eradicate the infection. Even if the game moves to world wide epidemic the world would be like "The Last of Us" kind of vacant. Then there's the endgame content which is the dark zone which isn't and has no "raid" area it's just a bunch or random mobs that if you go in solo can easily out number and overrun you, on top of the problem of other players ganking you and stealing your hard earned loot. I'm sorry but if i'm going to spend hours grinding elites and can lose it all by dying to elites or other player before getting it extracted than no thank you i'm out. Few, so few rpgs rob you of loot in your inventory upon death and limit your option of using it on pickup, especially endgame loot, that i'm not really sure how anyone thought this was a good idea. And it's not just loot your DZ rank which limits what chests you can open is lost when you die which is just so stupid. This really just goes back to the game designers punishing you for not playing with friends which i get that this game is an mmo but, getting people together for hours of grinding with no real goal for endgame content is a joke. Character creation is a joke and changing gear has little or no effect to your appearance. The cloths appearance options are a joke as most of the stuff i've found are just very slight differences from each other. It really just feels like ubisoft just took what Destiny was doing and tried to cash in on it with a slightly different twist. The metacritic review seems like it was bought as per even ign didn't give this game as high of a rating. The farther you get in this game the less it feels like you're progressing even when constantly upgrading your gear the enemies just seem to take longer to kill and unflinchingly laugh at your well placed bullets. Oh and let's not forget about the randomly peppered land mines you constantly run into when you're nowhere near enemies that you have to waste a medkit on if you even get skimmed by it because of the bleed damage. Or go threw the horribly mapped item wheel to use a debuff cleans item which the items and grenades wheels are horrible to use under pressure. And the items, those are pretty much useless never touched the damn things. Some of the the abilities like the homing mine that chases people down and then explodes before it actually reaches them or the turret which sometimes decides to not shoot at anything are also pretty damn annoying. Just super disappointed by this game and wish my friend hadn't demanded we get this so we could play together. Expand

    - Quests are always the "Run to A, Get X, Run back" pattern. This was boring 10 years ago and is still boring today.
    - Enemies are Bullet Sponges. On harder enemies you empty multiple clips before they die. Had better action in Tetris.
    - Leveling and "Roleplay" System is basic, at most. The Skills read good but their effects are underwhelming.

    Get this game if it gets on sale for 20$. Full Price, this game lacks of content, originality and fun. There are Indie Games which have more to offer for less money. Also, don't listen to publisher driven hype trains and bought reviews.

    There are very few games that I simply couldn't finish. This is one of them. A few hours in and I realized that there is almost zero plot. It's basically just a ton of repetitive collection-type missions to upgrade your home base.

    The enemies are all the same and take an entire magazine to kill. The bosses are even worse and lack any interesting/memorable features. They're just boring bullet-sponges as many others have mentioned. Not that much weapon variety either, just the same guns with different stats. If you want to compare, it's like Destiny 2 without the diverse environments, enemy variety, weapon variety, and with inferior controls.

    On the flip side, the feel of the guns is pretty good, and the city is fairly detailed. I can see how it could be fun if you did everything with friends. But for someone who's just trying this several years later after picking it up for $4.99, it's very hard to enjoy. I ended up returning it after 2 days.

Frustrating: Before reaching level 30, this game is considered hard, you'll have to do lots of missions and skill stuff to NOT to be killed by a bullet-sponge enemy. 2.

    1. Frustrating: Before reaching level 30, this game is considered hard, you'll have to do lots of missions and skill stuff to NOT to be killed by a bullet-sponge enemy.
    2. Entertaining: After reaching level 30, you'll start getting classified gears and have a feeling that enemies are easier to kill, but still they are huge sponges.
    3. Unfulfilling: You want to collect all classified gears, but you'll find out that the RNG in this game is deliberately designed, so that you'll never get a full classified gear by ONLY doing LZ boss farming or Global Events or other things like that. It will keep giving you some specific classified gears and you'll notice lots of duplicates.

    In short, the more you want to collect a full set of classified gears, the more frustrating you will be. If you want to play this game, don't be a perfectionist, otherwise you'll waste lots of time.

    The only pro of this game is graphics, otherwise I can think of nothing.

    Details of RNG in this game: Although the official said the chance of dropping classified gears is 6% atm, they didn't say anything about WHAT kinds of gears to drop. I kept farming LZ bosses and use a sheet to record the drops. I noticed that I hadn't have any new classified gear drops after about 50 times of farming, 50 times! There are 15 bosses, so statistically it should drop about 1 classified gear in one farm. But still nothing new after 50 times. There are always about 2-3 classified gears in any set that I will never have a chance to get.

    I can understand why they designed RNG like this, because they want the players to participate in all kinds of activities and keep playing as a proficient player in the team. So skilled players like me or you now can attract more novice players just like you and me in the past and that means sustained income, because they've got servers and developers to feed, of course.

The controls were made by a disabled horse, and I found out that the people from Tomb raider also helped making this game. How I found that out was that you have to shoot an enemy 50 times just to kill him. And the cover system is just absolute trash. At first I thought the cover system was clever in a way and it is. But when you try to survive in a horde of enemies its toxic. And there is such a limit to customizing your character. And the only thing good about this game is that its not some boring apocalypse its actually a clever toxic flu that spreads in a city that is in money, sidewalks, ect. It becomes so bad that it has made the streets into a wasteland. Other than that the game is cancer. Expand

    Visite en la vida real a Washington y en realidad se parece en mucho lo único que no tenía los mismos escenarios que en el juego pero el último update que lanzaron daño mucho el estilo de juego de muchas personas. Hacen muchos cambios grandes y afectan a los veteranos que jugaron el juego desde el principio.

    A game I was waiting for as great while. love the look of snowy New York and as a Destiny player love the combat and RPG. but after finishing the story and collecting all the collectables. there's no content. well what about the Darkzone ?. full of teams that have better gear from the darkzone attacking you. so you never get the gear or time to grind the gear. fine if this is what you likeA game I was waiting for as great while. love the look of snowy New York and as a Destiny player love the combat and RPG. but after finishing the story and collecting all the collectables. there's no content. well what about the Darkzone ?. full of teams that have better gear from the darkzone attacking you. so you never get the gear or time to grind the gear. fine if this is what you like good for you. but this excluded large amount of the player database. game needed a PvE darkzone as well. Ubisoft done massive update of the game which helped a lot. Underground was ok but repetitive. My fav Survival. a great game mode enjoyed a lot. PvP games boring and no one plays. A great idea for a game. but normal Ubisoft cheapness laggy servers and rushed to launch. shame and Division 2 has same issues and problems. Money grabbers and not game producers Expand

    This is a cover based shooter with zero variety and very dull combat encounters, bullet sponge enemies, bad movement (cover to cover for example) and dumb AI till the very end. There's also a nonexistent story full of bland characters including the protagonist, so you don't have any motivation to continue this game after a couple of hours. You can't do stealth either and the melee isThis is a cover based shooter with zero variety and very dull combat encounters, bullet sponge enemies, bad movement (cover to cover for example) and dumb AI till the very end. There's also a nonexistent story full of bland characters including the protagonist, so you don't have any motivation to continue this game after a couple of hours. You can't do stealth either and the melee is totally irrelevant since it barley does any damage so you better off not to using it. The Co-op is almost the same deal. Even if you have friends on your side you can't really used them to flank the enemies for example. Plus you can't use any vehicles to travel therefore your only option is to run around the city. The only good things in it are the graphics, the animations and the atmosphere which gets boring after a while to be honest. Expand

    1. If you are a solo player, don't buy it
    2. Enemies are sponges, you need to shoot them many, many times to kill them.
    3, Nice graphics

    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.
