    it's sad to see another instinct where a game does not live up to the Hype. The game is nothing more than a cash grab and a pointless grind. Vanilla Destiny had a better story than this.... The game adds nothing new to the shooter formula let alone to video games at all. All the delays for what? to build more hype? What a shame. DO NOT BUY.

    An absolutely terrible game. Not the game they advertised: Massive downgrade - last gen graphics, horrible gun mechanics, cheap sound. Generic in just about every way possible with zero innovation. Biggest fail since Watch Dogs. Nice looking backpacks though.

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

    More cheap console dirt. This game is clearly not optimized for PC. For a hardcore gamer, this game lacks content, creativity and style.
    - Darkzone is a cheap copy of games like Rust and DayZ. Run around, kill others, loot the same spot over and over, get to the helicopter, wait, wait, bring stuff home, wait again for more stuff to bring home. Much running from A to B and waiting

    - 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.

    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.

    Everyone is comparing this game to Destiny but should really be comparing it to Diablo 3. It's basically Diablo 3 with guns and minus any semblance of creativity or imagination.

Maybe that's your thing? If not, too bad because you won't find any here. If you are new to duck and cover shooters, you are going to have a bad time since the tutorial is severely lacking. This game is very stat oriented, to the point that if you don't have blue+ gear, you are going to have a bad time. In fact, you are probably going to be forced to group to finished every mission and every mission is the same.

    The game gives the illusion of choice with stacking stats and three different ability trees but there is only one stat that matters, firearms (dps) and one ability (healing) that matters. Everything else is pure garbage compared to these.

    Right now there is no end game, except doing daily missions of the same again and again. The Dark Zone is a joke too. It's the same as everywhere else in the game except the enemies are even tankier, and other players can shoot at you. At low levels pvp like this is fun but at high levels the penalties for going 'rogue' take the fun out of it for very long. There are not pure pvp arenas either.

    I gave this game a 1 because it managed to run on my PS4 without crashing, which is me being generous. Don't waste your money on this game.

    Super cool game until you get killed for the 70th time by a shotgun that is 17 miles away from you. I have by nos more than 2 das of The Division, probably I shouldn't give only "1" for the game, but, after you play you will fell the same way I am.

    If you like games
    - that lack any diversity (same environments and enemes over and over)
    - without any meaningful story,
    - grinding,
    - bad controls
    - bullet sponge enemies
    then this is for you.

    About an hour of playing i already had buyers remorse.

    Better if Ubi changes the name to Tom Clancy's The Glitch because at it is now is just a glitch simulator. Glitch, bugs, cheaters running rampant and no end content. All the fun you can take from this game is ruined pretty fast as you are going to encounter any of the previosly mentioned issues or all of them.

    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...

    Ultimately is a loot shooter so if another player catches you in PvP and has better gear than you , no matter how good you are , you're dead.

    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!

    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.

    About 12/13 hours in, game has become rather repetitive, PvE driven content is dull, PvP content can either be tough and fast paced or just repeatedly get stomped on. The story tries to deliver a realistic modern apocalypse however the bullet sponge enemies really ruin the atmosphere. Not exactly worth retail value, I personally regret my purchase at launch.

    Before I start the review I would like to state that I achieved lvl 30 and lvl 35 dark zone prior to writing this so have played every aspect of the game.

    I see from the majority of the review that they are written after only a few hours of gameplay, and division is great for the first few hours.. until you start noticing the glaring flaws. Repetitive combat against a lack of unique enemies. Higher levels shows difficulty not through strategy but by presenting bullet sponge mobs. Body collision is a huge issue throughout with a ridiculous cover system that results in the player sitting bored behind a wall playing whack-a-mole with the enemies, hitting whatever steps up from cover. Furthermore mobs hit with a shotgun or a sniper rifle continue to charge, unimpeded by damage they take, not flattering in the slightest. The same forgiveness is not given to players, who when hit with a sniper, shotgun or melee attack are either reduced to 0-10% HP, or staggered unable to recover.

    Dark zone is complete **** after grinding for hours to reach lvl 30 to loot chests, a player would expect some sort of reward however the items from the shop are basic and no upgrade, and the chests that were previously locked behind a lvl wall drop low quality items. Accidentally/purposely shooting a fellow player results in a manhunt which are fun, however the risk/reward is not worth it. Surviving a manhunt will see you rewarded with about 2k dark zone credits, a loss will results in a loss of lvl, dark zone keys and about 100k dark zone credits.

    The game is flawed, unpolished. Boring and repetitive with cheap and uncreative difficulty walls presented in bullet sponge enemies, or one shot mechanics from terminator style mobs who run through hell and a blaze of bullets to walk into your face and shoot you. This game is garbage, do not bother

The AI is stupid, the graphics have taken a massive downgrade from the game footage we've seen over the last 2 years, and the variety in character clothing/attire is generic as everyone seems to be dressed the same.

    Ubisoft have failed to deliver on everything they promised with this game. The Division is a repetitive, clunky, boring, cover based MMO shooter if you play with friends; and a really bad cover based shooter with a terrible story, a drab world and monotonous, repetitive, tedious missions if you play solo.

    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).

But that's not why I am giving it a 0. It's the Survival dlc. At this very moment the only impression I get from this dlc was that I was scammed. I legitimatley feel like I was decieved into buying it. The reason why is because I thought I was buying a game I could actually play. However, the dlc content doesn't even **** work. At all. 0 seconds worth of gameplay.

    I go to the portion of the world where I can access and play the dlc. However I am blocked by an error that reads "This content is not currently installed, would you like to download and install now?" Now this would be normal if I had not done that already. So what the hell I select to install anyways and all I get is a "Please wait..." type message for which results in jack **** I have spend a couple hours trying for a fix such as uninstalling and reinstalling, **** the licenses, deleting the cache yadayadayada nothing worked.

    Now it was time for me to spend hours scavenging the internet for any info on how to fix to the issue. The best I could come up with was a an ubisoft forum discussing the issue in great detail and a very helpful user by the name of FireOwneD (user was not an ubisoft employee. The Ubisoft employees however were very clueless and useless :D ) who provided a work-around that works for some. But, it didn't work for me unfortunately.

    By this time I have spent several hours trying to just play one second of this dlc I paid for and probably wont get a refund on. All the while I'm thinking "I'm spending the better portion of my day off trying to **** a dev issue so glaringly blatant it shouldn't have occured in the first place" But hey here I am. This dlc have been out for a couple weeks for PS4 and a month and a half for XONE and this issue has been occuring for XONE users as well. How in the world wide **** has this not been properly addressed yet? I know Ubisoft is practically known for it's buggy, lazy **** games but with this they managed to top themselves by creating content that doesn't even work from the get-go. Somehow I almost feel stupid because I have bought Ubisoft games in the past and got **** like this. I hope Ubisoft is reading this so I can say: **** you Ubisoft. GG you got me again. **** you so hard your grandmother probably gets pregnant. I hate you.

    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.

    First thing that i said, when i saw the game, it - What the ****?
    Let's start from best one - Graphics.
    For me graphics in The Division - the biggest downgrade in game industry history. In 2013, on E3, these prics from Ubisoft revealed very beatiful graphics, somebody even thought, that this will be an revolution in game industry history. But, this is Ubisoft, so you now what happend.

    Gameplay.
    Lets keep it short, so:
    You with and your friends killed a lot of bots, and when you met a real players...
    They killed you. Gameplay.
    And maybe, maybe you will kill them in next time.
    So, my score is 0.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do you like to grind for countless hours, just to have to re grind again due to lazy programmers nerfing gear sets instead of adding content? Do you like to play the same 3 strikes over and over in destiny but instead call that "endgame content"? Do you like to play mutiplayer with your friends and enjoy painfully bad aiming, kids rolling around with shotguns, and spawn trapping people in safe houses because there is nothing else to do? If so the division is for you. Expand

    The Division really just should've been called The Dissapointment.

    The end product is nothing close to what was shown at E3, in true Ubisoft fashion. I'm not sure who's dumber here, me for buying yet another Ubi-rip off, or Massive Entertainment for linking up with Ubi and releasing this utter anti-climax of a game.. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are good. Just not E3-good. The

    The controls (PS4) however are not good. Imagine steering a tanker ship, that just ate Taco Bell on the munchies. That's sorta how then player character feels like.

    Anything but the story missions are pathetic repeats. Release hostage, defend thing, get a brown hat as reward. Yellow hat available as DLC for just 300USD and a kidney. Go Ubi!

    So I waited a while before giving this game a punt. Now all I have to do is wait a week or two before all the updates seep through this countries sad communications infrastructure. Perhaps Unbsoft should put out a tutorial for the best way to download quickly? Meanwhile, I'm looking at +99 hrs

    I've played games for a long time and this is the absolute worst game I've ever played. Enemies take 1000 bullets before they die and you get hit once while behind cover and die instantly. You're in Brooklyn, but the map is only 100 ft. of space. First off, the installation took forever, Ubisoft sent out defective discs, the character creation was lame, no save, and no pause.

    The game is at times unplayable so many bugs replay value is terrible customer service is terrible. Developers cant fix any issues with the game they send out ban waves of players alot of which were unwarranted and roll back accounts when they feel the need which is almost always causing players to lose all thier loot for several weeks do not buy very bad game

    One of the worst games ever made. This is the only game I have ever gotten a refund for a digital download on xbox. I'm a fan of almost every tom Clancy game so this was a big disappointment.

    Forse non ci siamo capiti. Io voglio giocare con william ma mi tirano un colpo. Per non parlare di maxime sulla caxxo di casa a camperare col suo sniper (si chiama maxime_sniper per un motivo) per non parlare di lorenzo. Se li togliete dal gioco gli do 6. Ciao.

    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.
