    Para mi ha sido todo un decubrimiento. Es la primera vez que he jugado a algo así. ¿Cómo lo llamáis, Shootter? De matar. Pues está muy bien. Te hartas de matar pero, personalmente, me hubiera gustado que tubiera algo del rollo de Mass Effect. Entonces habría sido perfecto.

    I really liked this game and I don't really like shooters. You can single play the story l. Then single play the end game but it's tough. I did.

    Played through the campaign twice and put a fair amount of time into the Dark Zone and had fun.
    Ubisoft was finding their way with this one and it had its flaws.
    Enjoyed the story and the environment.

    If I have to describe this game with few words, I would probably say it is a Hack'n Slash game (like any Diablo game), but with guns, There are just two things you do, shoot, take cover, shoot and so on. Yes, it doesn't have many variety but this isn't why this game is so good.

    Because there aren't many things to think of while playing this game, this game is pretty fun and relaxing, the story is the main thing you gonna play, other game modes aren't as fun as the story because after a while, it starts to be too repetitive and you will find it boring pretty quickly.
    There are some things I would improve in this game, like "be always online even if you just playing the story mode" and one thing I find it really annoying is the slow texture loading, some parts of the city textures takes really some time to load even if you have a PS4 Pro, and also some issues with imput lag, to be precise there are some occasions when the game needs more time to load or process something, and this reflects on the imput lag. You give the order to move the character wherever or to take cover, whatever you do, but the game shows that order like 2 or 3 seconds later, those problems aren't that frequent but if you find yourself in a occasion of shooting someone or anything important, this issue with problems of loading the game and imput lag, can and will be really annoying.
    All in all, it is a great game, you will probably spend maybe around 80 hours or more, the game is fun and relaxing, even though the gameplay after the main story is pretty repetitive, there aren't any frame drops or bugs while playing, but it has some loading issues, but I mentioned the problem earlier in this review.    … Expand

    New York City during Christmas is magical. The whatif scenario (which kinda happen 4 years later) is very engaging. As a MMORPG player I'm happy to see a console compatible version come to light. The action feels good, the RPG progression feels rewarding. I spent hundreds of hours in this world and is one of my favorite games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well here's something I thought I'd never see happen an online only game that I actually like and the sole reason for this is because it is a story driven game yes it has the multiplayer part of the game with the Dark Zone part of the map but I have no interest in ever going on that mode of the game.

    So with that with that being said the story of the game is set in New York which is on lockdown due to a pandemic that someone has caused gangs run rampant in the city and it's to division agents to find out what happened and take back the city from the gangs.

    The graphics of the game is really impressive the look of the city that is in ruins to me was the best part about the graphics of the game the combat physics of the game can be a bit annoying at times but once you've mastered it the game becomes easy to play the amount places to explore and the guns to customize another key point to this game as you character experience level rises so does the enemies which means you have to find items or guns to sell in order to get better guns to match the experience level you are on the map of the game itself is massive as it should be because it set in a actual city after all.

    The minor issues I have with the game is you have to be online to play it even if you have to no intentions of playing the multiplayer part of the game and at times the side missions can be the same ones over and over again but there is enough missions to do on there to keep you playing till the end.

    Overall I enjoyed playing this game this might be the only online game series I'd enjoy playing because it has a story driven campaign to it and does not force you to play the multiplayer part of the game and that to me is makes this game worth playing.    … Expand

I would say the number one drawback is that the majority of weapons and builds in the game are rather useless and at endgame you see people using only a couple of different weapons (The House, Lightweight M4/LVOA-C mostly) and builds (Nomad/Pred in PvP, Striker/Lonestar in PvE, Reclaimer's are always prevalent). The thing is, this is every game ever though. There are always a few skills or weapons a cut above the rest and I would say The Division has done as good of a job for permitting as much creativity in builds as is possible. There are endless hybrid builds you can make use of, some of which are very creative and very effective, and there is a lot of grinding to be done.… Expand

The developers were very slow to tap its potential, and while still more than two years fixing it they haven’t reached the peak, they have accomplished almost most of it. Unfortunately, it’s already too late for people who have abandoned the game, that makes the game less profitable and sends resources to other paths instead of perfecting the game. While they finally got the loot, the balancing and activities right, the developers never got to fix their crown jewel, the Dark Zone. PvP is a toxic mess that counters everything the game is set to do, and not for everyone, but it’s there if you want to try it. Fortunately, those who want to avoid the Dark Zone and PvP in general, now have plenty of activities to do. The community on PC is all but depleted, so I recommend the PS4 if you want to easily matchmake for the surprisingly long list of activities the game has gathered through the years. I believe at this stage, the developers should capitalize on the positive changes, and lower the sticker price of the game significantly, avoid paying full price for it at all cost, but do buy it.… Expand

    I'm a late comer that just picked up the game, and it is really great! I was playing Destiny 1 and 2 obsessively over the last few years and finally got fed up with all of Destiny short comings. The Division is similar as far as being a loot casing RPG game, except it gets it right on so many different levels. If you haven't tried The Division and like this genre of game, get it!

The game implements them well so far, but at times it can be frustrating. One of my first major fights came early in the form of a boss battle. The boss had goons alongside him, and the fight escalated quickly with me retreating often. As a matter of fact, I was pushed all the way to the entrance to the rooftop where this fight took place. Needless to say I died a lot. Most of this game is pretty balanced, but occasionally you will find yourself overwhelmed. The game will show no mercy at times hitting you with unbeatable amounts of strong enemies, and nowhere to take cover. Over all the game has had many ups with only a handful of downs, but when it hits you with the downs it will hit you hard. Overall I am having fun with this game, and I will do another review once I have reached max level. If you can get this game on sale I would highly recommend it. Until then good luck, and try not to die too much.… Expand

    New York looks stunning, even in the decrepit state after the Virus. Your main guy can be customised, but most ppl look the same. However this rarely makes a difference as were not here on a modelling shoot !!

    weapons and added gear is spot on and levels up with you, and the DLC is fantastic, and it shows the developers have taken time to correct any problems and errors.
    Even though, im still playing it, were still getting add ons, DLC and patches and its s till a lot of fun.
    Dark Zone can be a pain, but it asks you to take the risk, and the gear sets can be notoriously hard to get, but still, its enjoyable and best played with friends, to make the most of all the abilities and perks and talents.

    having everyone as a medic is rarely enjoyable.
    get your medic, cover enhancement, couple of turrets and explosive grenades going, and your a force to be reckoned with.

    After Destiny, which a few ppl are comparing this to, i find this far more enjoyable, and im still sticking with it. Destiny just came and passed me by, and hardly as much fun to play, and seemed far more repetitive, where as this game knows what it is, and doesnt spawn the same DLC over and over, asking to dress up even better, ooooh .

    The division tells the story about a smallpox pandemic that wreaks havoc on black Friday…
    You’re part of the division, sent in by the US government to assist emergency responders and restore order.
    The game starts in Brooklyn but opens up when you enter Manhattan…
    This game is online only and is absolutely brutal…
    Probably one of the hardest if not hardest third person shooter I’ve ever played…
    If you’re playing by yourself… you’re not making it to the end unless you’re a 360 no scope mlg pro..
    I am not... so I teamed up with a squad the entire way….
    But this isn’t your typical 3rd person shooter…
    There are no head shots...
    Enemies have hp rather than just being vulnerable humans... they’re armored up and bullet spongy…
    I didn’t realize the type of game this was at first so I felt frustrated, only to remind myself borderlands is the same way…
    So this is more or less a 3rd person borderlands with none of the color or humor…
    My Love for the Division slowly grew on me… and I did eventually fall in love…
    But halfway through the game, my love evaporated.
    In the division you can explore the city of Manhattan either alone or with a crew of up to 4 players, there are 19 main story missions in this game that increasingly have a higher level requirement…
    Each mission will give you roughly 1 level.. And you also gain xp from killing enemies, doing side missions, discovering new locations and finding collectibles…
    And at first this feels great...
    You’ll run down the street and run into an encounter and help whoever out and move on to the mission you were heading too…
    You gain your first 5 levels without even trying…
    Then you’re doing mission after mission... killing these insanely tough enemies… picking up their dropped weapons, finding loot and armor..
    Getting supplies to work on the different wings of your base to unlock new skills and abilities...
    Assigning these abilities to your 2 and eventually 3 ability slots…
    It’s so frustrating and so addictive at the same time…
    Coming up with strategies with your teams mates during tough sections..
    Providing health, cover, and distraction…
    This is why it’s important to play with others…
    On your own you can’t be revived… enemies do take less damage... but it isn’t worth being sent back to a checkpoint each time you die to an area of respawned enemies…
    You’re heading into the dark zone to look for contaminated but more powerful loot, killing other players to increase your dark zone level to leave with better gear
    And you’re halfway through the game..
    You’re level 13... The next missions enemies are level 16 no big deal…
    You’ve got your awesome crew... you can handle anything.
    Nope.
    You can’t play missions more than 2 levels ahead of you… and by the way... from the halfway point forward... every single mission is going to be 3 levels ahead of you
    No big deal, levels have been handing out levels…
    Surely side missions and encounters and collectibles will do the same.
    They don’t.
    XP is so insanely slow in this game and I’m convinced there’s only a leveling system here to slow the player down... to make them do the boring side stuff instead of shoot their way through these hour long main missions….
    There’s really nothing else to explain it…
    It isn’t to make you more powerful in battle…
    Fights are just as hard from the start as they are at the end... Enemies level with you…. And most of the time unless you grind with the boring stuff are even 2 plus levels ahead
    And it isn’t to unlock perks or new weapons... because you get all of this from enemies and completing main stories…
    You can replay mast missions on hard mode for better loot.. but it rewards to xp at the end which is complete nonsense…
    Level requirements for main missions kill pacing…
    and the laughably small amount of xp you get for killing enemies which by the way is the exact same you get for killing a boss is even more of a joke.
    There’s not a chance you’ll level up mid story mission…
    It’s not happening you’re gonna be just as weak in the final boss battle as you were going in…
    The combat here is extremely fun though and offers a great deal of variety in its perks, weapons, and mods to make your character feel like yours…
    I’m not sure why they smack you with a wall halfway through and force you to do the fetch quest nonsense around Manhattan
    The division takes some time to grow on you.. And once it finally does it turns into an unfun forced grind. I Give the Division an 8.0/10    … Expand

    They activated me, a Division agent, in the world's darkest hour. The time had come. I left my wife and child behind, and headed for the nightmare that New York City had become. I didn't know if I'd ever see them again. I had my orders.

    My mission? Simple.

    As my humble review i wold say that in generals terms, if you liked the ambience of watchdogs, the shooting of Borderlands (weapon stats and crafting, status effect added to bullets, etc), and the looting system of diablo, this game is for you.

    Pros: + Incredible details not just on the graphics, but on the sound. It has a dynamic night/day cycle, and even climate cycle. + Details to    As my humble review i wold say that in generals terms, if you liked the ambience of watchdogs, the shooting of Borderlands (weapon stats and crafting, status effect added to bullets, etc), and the looting system of diablo, this game is for you.

    Pros:
    + Incredible details not just on the graphics, but on the sound. It has a dynamic night/day cycle, and even climate cycle.
    + Details to the minimum. You can hear the echo that makes a dog and a pigeon when flying on a snowy street, people fighting over food, dogs pissing and living their day, baggage bags stacked on the corridors of abbandoned buildings, and one thing that personally liked a lot that got me immersed, when doing sidequests i got into this IT building, and saw at guy desk, a picture of his wife and daughters at Paris.
    + Fun campaign and story, the one that you go completing by getting the audios, drones, and stuff arround the map.
    + Fun gameplay. You can craft, fight, personalize your character and gear.
    + Lots of loot.
    + After completing the campaign (30+hrs). you still have tons of fun on the Dark Zone wich has its own mechanics).
    + A game that can be played Solo or with a Group of friends.

    Cons:

    - UI could do some improvements. (Wich are coming on the 1.4 patch).
    - Unbalance on the Dark Zone. (Also coming on the patch).
    - Some secondary misions can get repetitive.
    - Had some crashes during the game that got me restarting the game.

    In general terms is a very solid game made by ubisoft, got me immersed all the weekend playing and doing all the sidemissions and stuff. Tagging along with some random guys to try some difficulty missions and discovering the ruined city by myself. Watching my steps because you never know how powerfull some enemies arround the corner may be. And apreciating every detail that the developers did put on the game. 9/10.    … Expand

We picked through what remained, spared the other players who strayed into our lines of sight and made to the extraction with a really nice haul. We bated our time and waited for the helicopter to fly in and drop our only means of securing our new toys. I waited for the clock to drop and then I stroke. Kicking the only member of our squad that we had picked up at random and robbing his carcass of anything he worked hard to collect. We divided it up, extracted, and then went our separate ways. It still feels like I left some small part of my soul back there, on the snow covered LZ where myself and two friends led our new buddy to the slaughter after spending an hour fattening him up loot.

    This game has stronger RPG mechanics than Destiny yet the environment is extremely bland and unappealing to me. I strongly recommend to play this game with your friends. With more content and dark zone refinements this game will easily get an 8 or above from me.

At times, The Division feels wonderful, when you successfully farm the Dark Zone and get plenty of loot HOWEVER at other times, you feel miserable when you find yourself constantly dying to the same bunch of rogues or to a ridiculous OP shotgunner. The experience I had up until I reached level 30 was, no doubt, spectacular. The graphics, the gameplay and the great sense of progression always kept me playing the game. But once you reach level 30 the majority of the game's problems start to shine. It's unfair to say that though, as Ubisoft have released many updates in response to fans' requests, and personally I think they've done a great job. They've added new content to the Dark Zone, new weapons, new gear sets, a new score system and plenty of minor improvements.

    Overall it's a great game but still has plenty of room for improvement.    … Expand

The game is not fun. Lots of time spent running. After about level five average enemies take about 6 headshots to kill, let alone "elite" enemies. Loot drops are unpredictable and useless. The leveling up and base improvement systems appear to give you lots of freedom, but ultimately you just unlock everything and choose between three special powers. Story missions can take up to an hour and may devolve into you waiting in cover with your cursor in one place, waiting for the enemy to pop up, shooting him, taking enough bullets to almost kill you, and retreating to heal. God help you if you join up with another player who is a dumbass and keeps getting himself killed, because once he dies, the game will leave you alone and stick you with multiplayer enhanced difficulty. Auxiliary missions, required to upgrade your base, are painfully repetitive and unrewarding. The character attributes aren't well explained, so item equipping is sometimes a total crapshoot. The PvP aspects of the "dark zone" are a total mess but are capable of providing some fun.

    Perhaps most irritating is the game's online requirement. You encounter chilling moments where you shoot enemies endlessly and their health does not go down, they will stand still as you move around, and you suddenly realize you're in the middle of a lag. When the game finally comes through, anything could have happened. That is, if the game doesn't just crash and send you back to login.

    Despite all of these complaints, you will keep going back to the Division. Something about a shooter RPG with MMO elements will tickle your gamer scrot and you will want to play. I hope you have a good internet connection.    … Expand

This adds a lot of customization to the game and the weapons. The clothing customization definitely should've been better, but at least it was there.

Although, I didn't really expect an amazing story from The Division. Although, the actual missions are structured extremely well. The main missions are very fun, because of the gameplay and structure of the mission. As an RPG, I expected a better character creator at the beginning, I was let down though. It's not a huge deal but it should've been better. A lot of people compare The Division to Destiny.

How can gamers can possibly give this game a low ratings when it has all the elements we've been asking for? Is there room for improvement, of course.

    I am at least a solid 100 hours into the game and see no reason why I will be stopping any time soon. At its core, the actual gameplay is fun, and the heaviness/feel of the character is good. Both the PVE and PVP systems are engaging. I've even hit a point where a little material grinding is necessary to continue my progression but I don't mind it because it is in an ever-changing dark zone where I have to continually be alert. The developers seem to be very tuned in to the community and the first major patch about two weeks after release fixed some serious issues with the dark zone which was a godsend and the right thing to do -- which also gives me hope that these devs are willing to admit where they made mistakes and continue molding the game to be the most fun experience. You can't upgrade your character -too- quickly, and stat min/max'ing will keep the hardcore players busy for hundreds of hours.

    This game is very flawed. However Dev's are fixing things as they go like any ARPG (diablo3) and this game is addicting as F**k. So buy it. It can be a grind at times but you will get addicted.

    But really, it's the little things that make Division great. How surfaces react when hit by a bullet. How lighting changes in the day/night cycle. How weather conditions have a REAL impact on the gameplay. How an enemy getting hit in the nose with the butt of your gun reacts. These are the things that are simply missing from other titles like Destiny.

    There is a certain element of grinding after hitting level 30. Dark Zone is the most innovative PVP arena to date, but in order to excel, you really, truly, have to grind. RNG and frankly, non-intuitive weapon perks make this process frustrating at times, where a high end weapon can be either "just ok" or "absolute beast" depending on the roll of dice.

    On the other hand, that's what makes you go back to killing bosses time and time again.

    If these reviews would include the community, I would have to deduct a point. There are some real **** playing this game: particularly, kicking people from the party in Challenging missions right after killing the boss. If these COD-kids would leave the grieving to the Dark Zone, this game would be top-notch enjoyment.    … Expand

    My experience in the division so far has been fun and addicting. Im 23 hours into the game and not even close to finishing. The graphics are beautiful, the loot glorious, and the player to player interaction engaging. The only problem i have is slight mission repetition on side mission but other than this its worth every penny.

    Some bugs that may be fixed by now. Only major complain not enough penalties for mid-mission drop out or good replacement matchmaking. If you're playing with a random and they leave, it's tough to finish the mission. Overall good time though.

Playing with friends is really where it's at. You can play solo but man, getting a team together and using each others characters strengths is what makes it rewarding. The Dark Zone is the best part of the game. A mixture of PvE and PvP make this a challenging and quite satisfying by getting a decent chance at scoring greater gear and weapons. Some downsides are that most of the side missions and side quests are very similar and repetitive. Your character does not actually say one word the entire game..which was quite disappointing for people who love to invest into characters. Another downside is there is no trading system. It would have been nice to be able to help friends if they are needing that extra piece of gear to help them get to that next step. All in all, this is Ubisoft's best Shooter period.… Expand

After a night of playing it (only a few hours) i was disappointed in the splitscreen only being what it was, since i thought it was like bots from cod and walker assault, etc. Anyway, i took it back the next day, and even though my nephews weren't too happy, i got the division. Now, i have heard some bad things about it being very repetitive, and being like Destiny, but... i love Destiny! The beginning was a bit slow, but i got 'back into it' and remembered everything from the beta. The graphics are pretty good (1080p vs 900p for battlefront i think) there WERE a few little lags where it might stop or skip, or dialogue cut out, but the gameplay was awesome. I am still a pretty low lvl, and have been busy only to play some of the story, and a little dz, but have enjoyed it. Playing alone can get a little boring, but the matchmaking is great, and the dz is something creative, and reminds me a little of a scaled down Arma or something, and i am glad i took back battlefront. I don't want to smash battlefront, but for 60 bucks, even 40 bucks, you aren't getting much, and i will probably buy it if it either lets you do offline multiplayer, or is like 20 bucks. Also, many people are butthurt about political views in this game, and being right wing, but you need to remember, many other games (hardline) blatantly bash conservatives, and no one said anything about that, so you guys hatin this game because a little politics need to just shut up and enjoy it. So, yes, i would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a fun sorta mmorpg that is also tactical, and fun solo, and even better in a group. also, i don't even care for 3rd person, but this game is an exception!… Expand

    The gun modification system is well done and easy to understand. In most modern games, an easy modification system is a rare sight, which means all the more credit to Ubisoft.
    Navigating the map can be really fun, surprisingly. There's tons of stuff to do, such as complete encounters, do side missions, loot, etc.
    I swear to God, I spend about 30 minutes each session trying to make my character look freaking fabulous. And I have succeeded.
    There's actual challenge to the game, meaning enemies aren't made of cotton candy and objectives are fairly tough. Each level will easily take up at least 30 minutes, sometimes up to an hour.
    All the technical stuff (Graphics, controls, less glitches, etc.) is superb.
    I, personally, think the story is pretty worth it. It'll keep you fairly interested for the most part.

    The game has problems though, so it is nowhere near perfect.
    You'll see the same enemies over and over again as you make a painstaking attempt to slaughter a million clones charging at you.
    If you're a level 10, have a group of levels 9-11 and then a level 30 or so comes on, you're screwed. The level unbalance can be crazy and outright unfair at times.
    The game's so called "bosses" are no more than bullet sponge versions of normal enemies.
    This is more of a complaint for Beta players: I remember at level 6 or 7 I was gathering loot in the DZ during the Beta and kicking ass with my sweet new gear. Now, the first time I was able to extract without getting brutally massacred by two bullets from the weakest enemies was at level 10 or 11. FML.
    If you buy the Gold Edition, the sawed off shotgun you get will only last up to about level 12 or 13, 15 if you're lucky (WHATEVER YOU DO, THOUGH, DON'T GET RID OF IT. EVER. IT WILL SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT). The outfits for GD are sweet, though.

    With all of its problems, all of the good stuff is where The Division really shines. If you're hesitant, than read more into the game. If you're interested and are mostly on the side of getting it, you're probably going to love it.    … Expand

However, single player is fine but you would be having a way better experience playing with friends as you can explore the DZ without the anxiety of going solo. Overall, this game is a must buy for anyone looking to play with friends, but in a more in-depth way such as the reasons I stated above.

    The cover system is intuitive and robust at the same time. The crafting is not as deep as say Fallout 4, but it is there and that is pretty cool. The multiplayer is fun and challenging and fresh, nothing like what I have ever played before. The reward system, although still using it a little, is not overly dependent on RNG like some other games I have been playing...

    My only complaint has to do with the way that mission difficulty gets bumped up to match the rank of the highest person in a squad. If I am a lvl 12 doing a lvl 12 mission and my lvl 20 friends drop in, I am now about to get destroyed and one shot for the next hour while they get to play my mission. I think I understand why they did it, to keep people from power leveling their friends too quickly. However, it seems like there should have been some sort of middle ground like bump up the difficulty by three levels above what it was rated at. IDK something to make it still playable for the host who just happened to be part of an active clan.

    Overall, this has to be one of the more ambitious titles out there right now. My only concern is Ubisoft supporting the game and making it a long standing franchise. I am hoping they will but a global pandemic in the real world does not have quite the creative freedom as say Assassins Creed (thousands of years of history to work with) or Destiny (entirely a work of fiction). I'm hoping this franchise does well and keeps going for years. It's off to a great start.    … Expand

    This game is not a Destiny killer. This game is not a Destiny replacement. Comparisons to Destiny are pointless. You can spend all day wind bagging, but apples are apples and oranges are oranges.

    This game is also terribly misunderstood. This game is not a MMORPG. It is an RPG and there are MMO aspects, but this game is really a VERY strong story driven single player game with co-op aspects. If you think of the Dark Zone more like Uncharted's multiplayer (a feature not the game/story) then you will enjoy this game immensely.

    This game is first and foremost a Tom Clancy game. What that means is there is a lot of story! There is the Agent Origin's video on Amazon (almost 30 minutes long). There is the companion book (part of it is in game, but the book drives home the atmosphere and feeling). There is also all the echos, phone messages, incident reports, crashed drones, etc. in game. Some may see that as a collectible grind, but unlike other Ubi IP these collectibles enhance and tell more of the story.

    It is utterly mind boggling that people are already at the end game and complaining and they have no idea what most of the story is. People 5x more powerful than I currently am have no idea what is going on. They are just running around and shooting. To each his own I guess.

    Now that the groundwork is out of the way onto the technical review.

    10/10 graphics - The game is pretty. Slightly reminiscent of Watch Dogs, but very pretty. It may not be pushing the envelope, but the level of detail and weather is great.
    8/10 Control - Since this is a cover driven game the controls can be a bit dicey. You character can get stuck on stuff and evasive maneuvers can be a little rough. More than once I meant to roll out of cover to dodge a grenade and I ended up stuck to cover or rolling closer to the grenade. Nothing that can be patch fixed though.
    9/10 story - A damn fine story. Not quite Witcher level, but it has tons of meat.
    8/10 audio - The soundtrack is nice and it isn't playing all the time. Mostly just gunshots.

    My biggest complaint with this game is that though it is an RPG the whole loot mechanism is a bit off. At times I think it would be easier to just scrap the loot and just spend even more focus on the story rather than getting a epic gun.

    Lastly, the quests can be a bit repetitive even if the characters are different. A bit more voice over on the encounters instead of recycling the same sound track as well as more variety on the side missions. Each area has four side missions and they are basically supply/mercy drop, hunt down a baddie, etc. A little more thought would have been nice.

    I cannot wait for incursions and to see what else the season pass will bring. Certianly worth the money IMHO. My only other request is that it has an end or at least this chapter closes. MMOs are not so great and the story starts to flop.    … Expand

    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.
