    No es lo que se esperaba en aquel e3 , pero la jugabilidad al final engancha no como para comprarlo de salida pero si para comprarlo de 2 mando que la verdad si lo juegas con amigos te lo pasaras muy bien y sera una experiencia entretenida, pero si juegas solo te puedes aburrir muy rapido,

    Not really sure I can add much to what has already been said about this game. It has a really good foundation but as you progress it becomes more annoying and less fun.

It has a really good foundation but as you progress it becomes more annoying and less fun. I was an idiot who bought the season pass before even playing the game and that is the only reason I am keeping the disc. The PVP in this game is really not balanced at all. The culture in this game is really really bad, people tend to shoot you in the back a lot and if you don't have a group you can get rocked on over and over and over. The gap in gear is crazy, you can just twink out a level 14 and walk around one and two shotting all the newbies. I even caught myself laughing at a few low levels getting plowed down by me and my friends. But after much thought it just turns people into arses.

    Also the bugs in this game are horrible, you will be fighting someone and then they glitch through the wall to where they can shoot out but you can't shot in along with a whole bunch of other glitches. I gave them time to fix the game but I have minimal hope for the longevity of this one.

    Very disappointed I bought this and even more so that I bought the season pass. Save yourself some money and rent the game before you buy it, otherwise you may have remorse like many of us out here.    … Expand

    Mi nota es muy alta pero eso se debe al modo historia, me ha encantado el modo historia, siendo mas exactos los jefes o boss del titulo, muy innovador , cleaners, LMB, Rikers muy bueno, si prestas atencion es algo asombroso, para mi los boss o jefes finales depende que tan buena sera la trama o historia del juego y esta es asombrosa.
    A pear que el final del juego o de la historia me ha dececionado.
    ME lo he pasado con un colega y ambos lo hemos disfrutado, eso si el modo PVP no nos gusta muy desbalanceado a pesar que en este ultimo parche 1.4 lo hicieron bien, los sets, modificaciones es decir el RPG mejoro muchisimo, es mas para todos, la forma de obtener piesas o sets es buena.
    Lo he jugado entorno a 5 dias [Es la medicion del tiempo que lo juegas] al rededor de 120 horas, lo juego bastante por que me compre el pase de temporada, como os digo soy fan de esta saga, pero en una proxima entrega lo pensare mucho, en total gaste $125, lo compre en su estreno.
    Pero el inicio de este titulo para mi, fue estupendo.    … Expand

    The Division is a pretty fun game with good gun play and the co-op is really fun.

    But the problem with it s the fact that it gets boring after 20 hours of game play and the story in not good at all.

    A medium game.

    The gameplay was fine at first but devolved into bullet sponge hell. Without friends to co op with the singleplayer becomes nearly unplayable as you have to take down way too many way too powerful bullet sponges. The Dark Zone is worthless and the end game leaves so much to be desired. It's the epitome of just alright and horrible as a loot game.

    Juego bastante entretenido
    Una cosa importante voy a decir este juego vale la pena si juegas con un amigo
    Para jugarlo solo no vale nada la pena ya que se te hace muy aburrido
    Mundo abierto bastante bien organizado con muchas armas y equipamientos
    Y el modo pvp un poco pobre pero acceptable.

    Gioco dalle potenzialità enormi. Grafica buonissima, storica discreta ma nulla di che.
    Gameplay fantastico... ma ECCESSIVA ripetitività delle missioni e bruttino il modo in cui devi crearti la tua armeria e il tuo vestiario.
    CIttà quasi vuota nel post-game.
    Voto complessivo 75/100.

    Overview
    Now that the first person shooter market is over run with the same old same old vibe of games it seems third person shooters won’t be out done. With game such as Tomb Raider, Gears of war, and Uncharted setting the bar very high there is little room for error. If that weren’t enough, Tom Clancy’s name and license has all but run its course. Recent games like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Rainbow Six Under Siege haven’t done much to uphold the good name of both Ubisoft, and Tom Clancy. With The Division, Ubisoft looks to change this.
    Story
    On Black Friday, a smallpox pandemic, transmitted by a virus planted onto banknotes, sweeps through New York City. The disease, called "Green Poison" and "The Dollar Flu", causes widespread chaos, and Manhattan is placed under quarantine. The U.S. Government activates sleeper agents in the population who operate for the Strategic Homeland Division, or simply "The Division", to assist emergency responders, in restoring order. The Division’s story is a deep and intriguing one and satisfyingly unfolds at a slow but nice pace. It was a very smart move by Ubisoft to include a story in this game. Without it things would totally revolve around online play. Games like Evolve and Destiny suffer greatly from an absent story so when a gamer’s internet is down things get boring pretty fast.
    Graphics
    The Division has so much going for it graphically that it’s frustrating to see the hiccups that the game goes through. First off, this game at a glance is breath taking. The care and detail given to the city of New York is impressive. Cars react to being shot nicely. Snow and other weather physics are nothing short of amazing. Shadows, lighting, and other little touches are remarkable. With a clean and crisp HUD gamers will easily become immersed as fights unfold throughout the city of Manhattan. Just as quick as you admire the visuals, you doubly will become frustrated. Numerous graphical glitches and bugs plague this great looking game. Clipping, map texturing, and pop ups happen far too frequently. With a game this graphically sophisticated a few hiccups are expected, but it happens way too often.
    Gameplay
    The game play is a mix of several games. There are elements of Borderlands, Destiny, and GTA to name a few. You’ll basically be playing an MMO. You build stats buy gear and earn loot. You take control of your agent scour the city in hopes of helping citizens or securing drop zones much like dying light. Unlike Dying Light your best bet is to work with a squad because going at any mission alone is borderline suicide. You dodge, run, and shoot your way through the city. Things are simple and satisfying, but as the game progresses the mastery of your character becomes deep and rewarding. The loot system is a bit broken, but then again what console MMO isn’t? The game lets you create your own character but as you venture online you quickly learn that there isn’t much depth in this area as hordes of online players resemble each other. Load times are an absolute pain in the butt. You will be sitting through cut scenes only to be greeted with black screens as the next area loads. To sum things up the game is fun but gets old real quick.
    Sound
    The sound is quite impressive but music itself is absent. The guns sound realistic and other ambient sound fills in the gaps. Sadly music is missing while you play…what’s left is dead silence until either a huge battle or a cut scene takes place. Don’t expect much by the way of sound.
    Replay Value

    The replay value is high mostly due in part to the online fun that can be had. You team up with friends and or strangers to tackle the challenges Manhattan gives you. Enter the dead Zone and duke it out with other players, or do the unthinkable and GO ROUGE. The potential for endless fun is there, but unfortunately things get repetitive real fast. The division has potential to be played for years, but what hampers this is the same thing that plagues many games these days. In a word that thing is GREED. It seems publisher’s first concern now-a-days is how can they drain your pockets of every dollar you have. Can’t earn it? Why not buy it? Want weapons or gear that even the odds? Why not buy it? You want DLC after DLC but no bugs fixed? Why not buy it?

    Much like Destiny this game comes off as no more than a cash cow. It’s a great game to play online with friends for a while but it soon becomes apparent that you have been there and done it in many other mediocre shooters. So the Division doesn’t do much to set itself apart from those aforementioned titles. The Division is a decent rental but it would be hard to recommend it for purchase, as you will undoubtedly spend way more than the 59.99 price tag in the long run. With that said the division gets a 5 out of 10.    … Expand

    Participe en betas cerradas y abiertas, era muy activo en los foros del juego, muy actualizado.
    Me lo compre y en su version Deluxe, con todo su contenido o DLC post lanzamiento (MUY MAL HECHO DE MI PARTE)
    Las primeras horas del titulo 6 horas, quizas, un juego asombroso, me gusto, pese a su calidad grafica, bugs, y multijugador con mucho hack, su historia me gusto, me encanto, me recordaron a las novelas que habia leido, muy bueno, un virus que causa panico en una de las ciudades mas importantes del mundo, a traves del dinero, se forman grupos criminales, contra policias, cinematicas de su historia, tipos de enemigos, asombrosos, rikers, los cleaners, para mi los mejores, nunca habia visto ese tipo en otros juegos (Muchos dicen copia de blackwatch o algo si) lo siento yo era primera vez que los veia.
    Un rpg, que me hacia buscar el mejor equipo, PERO justo en la mitad del titulo aquello se volvio muy repetivivo, mi hype fue hacia bajo, me lo pase 2 veces, una yo solo, otra en cooperativo, lo disfrute con mi amigo, eran desvelos luego del trabajo, muy activos en foros, pero muy repetitivo misiones secundarias aburridas, aparecio otro tipo de enemigo, que eran igual que tu con ese armamento, y la verdad no tenia sentido, un final quela verdad no era necesario ser asi, pudo ser mejor.
    El contenido descargable o DLC, no vale la pena, ninguno de ellos, en fin pague $125 por todo y creo que no valio la pena esa cantidad de dinero jugue alrededor de 700 horas.
    en todos sus modos.
    Le sque platino esperando sentirme bien por el costo, pero no fue asi, en fin, ubisoft y sus politicas abusivas.
    Recomiendo el titulo, pro menos de $20, vale la pena, un shooter rpg, Bueno. en PS4, o XBOX por que en PC NOOOO. muchos hack, y graficamente decepcionante, a pesar de tener compatibilidad con DX12.    … Expand

    Well, let me go and play destiny again...The division just feels so bland if you already played Destiny. It is not bad, it just lacks excitement and awe. It is, however, still fun if you play it with your friends, however, there are better alternatives out there. Rather spend your money on Destiny or Overwatch. I think even Warframe is a better experience.

    pros:

    skills
    gun customization
    challenging missions
    dark zone

    cons:
    bad dialogue for some characters
    repetitive encounters

    It started good, but then it becomes pure grinding and repetition. The same enemies, the same missions. Lots of enemies are just bullet sponges. The city and graphics look nice, this game had a potential to be a lot better.

Tons of skills to use, weapons, armor, this game in terms of customization is exquisite. Shamefully, the game has several balance problems that remind me of other games of this style such as Horizon Zero Dawn or Patapon 3 (not as bad thankfully), where the recommended level of the mission is often false, and they blow you up despite exceeding it by far, the abusive grinding, or some enemies, even if they arent bosses, sometimes turn into bullet sponges, even enemies that don't seem to have any protection are inexplicably tough, and you have to shoot them like 50 rifle magazines down on their heads, while you could die with two or three shoots.
    Apart from the balancing problems, I also have to present my complaints to the Dark Zone mode, which although it is very fun, it becomes a grinding mess to get the best equipment, besides that at a narrative level it does not make any sense. Why in an apocalypse would people stay in an area to fight for weapons and armor just to want to be stronger?
    Despite all the criticism, The Division is a very addictive game, and that is why I give it a pretty high score, along with the great customization value, they give hours and hours of replayability. I was close to giving it a 6, but it was fun enough to give it a 7.    … Expand

    Ok ... here it is:
    1. The JTF NPC suck ... they do nothing. These NPC that are on your side are not helping at all. The enemies just ignore the them and come straight at you full force. Instead of distracting them a little bit (the don't have to do a lot of damage), the enemies just pretend they are not there and come straight at you. This makes some missions impossible to finish solo style.
    2. Crafting weapons is futile. No matter how hard you try to craft a weapon, the vendor will always have a weapon or gear that is far superior than the one you are able to craft. So, why crafting when you can buy a better weapon?!
    3. Considering this is a Ubisoft game, the graphics are not that bad.
    4. The story is interesting.
    5. The shooting is excellent. The recoil is realistic and easily adaptive with no aim-assist.
    6. It is worth a time to play it all the way; play all the missions and encounters.
    7. I miss stealth, but on second-thoughts, stealth does not fit in this pictures, so ... it is better that it doesn't have stealth.

    Even though the Division 1 lacks some things i will play it all the way and i will play the Division 2. The game overall is fun and is worth the time.    … Expand

    Definitely an engaging and enjoyable take on the MMO world. Satisfying combat, really great re-created new york, and some chilling story elements about a weird and desperate world. Much better with friends, but can work if you're solo. Looking forward to the second instalment in 2019. Only cons are it becomes a little repetitive.

    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.
