For those of you haters saying there is no story, THERE IS A STORY! The story is your working with the npc's, that are pretty well acted i'd say, to get the city back onto it's feet and out of the chaos it's in. Anyway, I really love this game and will be playing it for at least a year or more! Expand

    balancing all the hate from people who probably haven't even played.
    I got a server error once and about half hour after it launched so yeah servers were flooded. running fine ever since.

    controls take some getting used to but doesn't every game have that? unless you just play COD every year.
    groups work amazingly well and the seamless online gameplay is everything I hoped for.

    neg I agree with, many enemies are too powerful. example a lvl 8 mission on normal will give you OP boss fights that can melt you and will take almost your entire ammo supply to kill. levels have more and harder enemies with friends but with the correct tactics, they are easier in the end. going solo can be frustrating. I recommend doing missions 1-2 levels below your current if going solo.

    also some glitches here and there but mostly funny stuff, not game breaking, examples: group members on your screen start to "float" basically losing their walk/run animations. other very minor, saw some rats stuck in an endless loop of running in a 1foot space but if you can't laugh at that kind of stuff you aren't a true gamer at heart.

    Good game I'd say, but only if we talk about current (starting) state of The Division. And then I think about what a game it would be in 5 or 10 months of evolution and content development. I'd say it's AWESOME!)

    To start I have to say, it's clearly a multiplayer game, so it works best for people who don't play alone.

    The game is a great 3rd person shooter mechanics wise, everything feels good, from taking voer, shooting, switching guns or even throwing grenades or using a skill. Difficulty is solid with Destiny like options to increase difficulty for better loot. The game has a decent amount of content, easily more than Destiny at launch, but clearly the game will potentially be even better with more content in general, it's a good thing, IMO< the game leaves you craving more, and the have planned DLC's the next three months.

    The Story is average but the world and graphics are top notch.

    The best part for me is the PVP zone, the dark zone, intense fights with high end ads and intense extractions make for some of the best, most unique experiences you'll find.

    You really can play single player and have a blast. It is even more fun with matchmaking. 24hrs in and I want 24 more. I generally play everything single player style, except when I use the matchmaker system for Story missions. I enter the DZ alone, and usually leave alone, using VOIP and grouping up as needed.

    This game had a lot of hype and delays. If you're like me and didn't follow it and are taking this game at face value, it's a great game. Fantastic graphics and in-game UI, gunplay is very fun, world feels rich and alive with the random civilian encounters and passing conversations, and best of all (for me) they seem to have struck a perfect balance between the RPG and shooter elements.

    This game has mechanics that Destiny should have had. I enjoy doing quests and such for EXP and using EXP to level your character rather than just having gear you put on determine your level. Whether playing solo or in groups of four, the game is fun. I think if you merged the two games, you'd have the best game ever but don't sell The Division short. It's great in its own right.

    1 point for convincing atmosphere of NYC ravaged by disease. Story telling that doesn't require you to visit a web site outside of the game to know what the heck is going on. The story in this game is told visually. Look around, see dead people clutching their children, rows of flag draped coffins etc. Activate echos to see terribly sad past events happen before your eyes.

    1 point for cover system that works. Just like in the real world cover will save your life, use it.

    1 point for being a challenging game that forces tactics and team work. Smart AI that will try to flank you but isn't so smart that it knows where you are at all times. You can flash bang a group and move to get the upper hand again.

    1 point for making me dream about playing when I finally force myself to turn it off and get some sleep.

    1 point because I can't focus at work because all I can think about is getting home to play it.

    1 point for weapon customization options that are amazing. Find weapon attachments or craft them. Feels like you're constantly getting better as you find and craft items.

    1 point for an amazing skill tree allowing tons of different ways to strategize.

    1 point for a rewarding loot system that satisfies you way better than Destiny's loot system. You don't get overloaded like playing Diablo or Borderlands but you will still find yourself breaking items down to make room for new items. When you beat a boss you get multiple items that you can immediately use without being forced to return to base to see if your lottery ticket is worth a damn.

    1 point for a crafting system that works. You can find crafting materials or break inventory items down to create materials. You find blue prints as you play.

    -1 point for limiting your co-op experience to 4 (Future DLC may offer teams of 8 but that remains to be seen.)

    That's a grand total of 10 points.

    Be skeptical of anyone that gives this game a score lower than 5. That probably means they haven't even played it or they're die hard Destiny fan boys. That is because The Division is a serious threat to Bungie right now because it does right a lot of things Destiny got wrong. Destiny 2 could be amazing if they learn from this game.

    There are enough positives in this game for even someone that hates playing it to at least give it a 5.

    Don't buy in to the hype that the graphics are terrible because it doesn't look like the E3 demo. The game is beautiful. The atmospherics are amazing.

    I'm not going to tell you to run out and buy this game but my friends and I are having a blast playing it and if you like shooters and RPGs you'll most likely have fun playing it too.

    Some say missions are repetitive, but they're crazy. Yes, the central gameplay mechanic is shooting, and that repeats - it's a shooter. But the tactical variety in the world and level design means no encounter ever feels the same. Vary your tactics, skills, weapons, verticality, etc and each fight is a blast.

    Solo or co-op are both viable and fun. Amazing game, world design is absolutely stunning, and plenty to discover and do as you explore this incredible game. Massive is clearly one of the best studios Ubisoft owns. Great job guys, lived up to the hype and then some.

From fine-tuning my character's skills, crafting, modding weapons, and looting (key elements of an RPG) to intense strategic, cover-based shooting - this game is action packed! So when I read one of these kids' reviews complaining about "no substance" "no quality" I had to laugh. That could not be further from the truth. THIS GAME IS BRILLIANT. Do yourself a favor and pick it up today. Invest a few hours exploring, figuring out menus, etc. The amount of time and love put into this game is impressively evident. I've been playing since launch and have only been disconnected for the server once (on launch day) - aside from that, my experience with The Divison has been FLAWLESS. 10/10

    Any rating below 8 is ridiculous. The Division is an amazing RPG with tactical elements.

There's co-op online in story mode and in death match style with the Dark Zone. People always complain about games not having that feature and The Division delivers. Just the sheer size of the map is incredible and even though the action is pretty straight forward, exploration is encouraged and rewarded. graphics are good to excellent and the voice acting is good, even makes you laugh every now and then. stop with the dumb comments about bullet sponges too - of course, the developers did that intentionally to make the class have some actual relevance... the different roles (tech,med,security) all come in to play during big battles. 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. The missions can get redundant and there is definitely a "grinding" feel to it after awhile (I'm only a 22 so I haven't seen the end game but I get it when people use that criticism). To be fair the game is probably a solid 8.5 or 9 but these low reviews are just dumb and so I'm going 10 here. Expand

    This is so much better than destiny ever was.

    From the Beta to the full game, you will notice some few things they added to make it better. For one thing you have an overhead marker to tell you where the hell to go this time. It's helpful because in the beta there was this one mission were the enemies were in between the buildings and I had no idea how to get in... Had to circle around

It's helpful because in the beta there was this one mission were the enemies were in between the buildings and I had no idea how to get in... Had to circle around the whole **** building just to find the entrance. This waymarker makes it MUCH easier.

    There is also crafting in this game! Learn new recipes and craft more powerful loot!
    Oh did I mention there is also ACTUAL trading in this game?
    And the matchmaking is perfect! there is even matchmaking for freaking free roam! perfect!

    Story isn't terribly interesting but isn't terribly boring either.

    Missions can be somewhat repetitive... and there always has to be like some final boss in the end of it. Side missions are all the same really, but at least they are quick to do.
    Upgrade system is great, not only do you have your abilities like in the beta, but now you have these other perks you can get to make your character even more useful.

    Oh and of course you can customize every weapon with scopes, magazines, skins, etc.

    And of course there is the dark zone... which I haven't really touched yet because I know there are going to be a lot of high level players there.

    It may not be a 10 out of 10, but more like an 8.5 out of 10.... I only gave it an 10/10 to counter those 124 negative scores. The 7.0 is making the game more average than it should...
    Like really most of them are just from people who were pissed of at the downgrade or just at ubisoft for what they did in the past.... not necessarily about the game itself.

    If Destiny was a phoenix then The Division is some kind of ultra-phoenix raising from Destiny’s ashes.

My biggest cocern was the overhype/under promise that was Destiny so imagine my surprise when that wasn’t the case.

    The Division is dense. Leveling up to 30 was an absolute treat with great gameplay and an amazing environment. Everything is mechanically sound, there is extensive crafting, serious equipment customization, and proper rpg mechanics rather than the shallow excuse Destiny had.

    The only negative comment I have about this game that the story lacks and takes a back seat to everything else. It doesn’t really become interesting until end game and once you’re there it seems like it’s going on in the peripheral and you’re not really a part of it.

    The environment is gorgeous and immersive. I have no idea how they managed to make a small part of New York into such a varied and interesting place, but Ubisoft did it. Each faction leaves its imprint on the areas they inhabit. The streets are alive despite being abandoned as crippled citizen’s hobble to you asking for aid.

    I’m level 30 and thoroughly invested in the End Game which is where these games really need to shine. Matchmaking is solid (if not perfect) and once you’re in with a good group the opportunities for PVE and PVP are endless. The open world integrates perfectly through the use of the darkzone making the endgame content seem like a real part of the world rather than a hallway tacked onto the game.

    As usual not everyone will love this game. You can’t please everyone, but if you take the time to sit down and invest in The Division you will find yourself sucked in and loving every moment of it.

    1 - O game está mais polido, em questões de gráficos está melhor que o beta. Pouca coisa? pode ser, mais dá pra ver esta diferença. Para você que está com a cabeça lá na E3, esquece não tá igual. Mais vale a pena mesmo assim.

    2 - Muita coisa pra fazer e explorar, tanto sozinho ( ai o desafio é maior ) quanto com um ou 4 amigos. Eu estou jogando sozinho mesmo e bora lá. Não precisa de alguém para fazer as missões, mas será mais difícil. Você pode mudar nas fases principais a dificuldade, achei legal esta parte.

    3 - Dark Zone ( zona cega ). Dá pra entrar sozinho sim, mais é aquilo, olhando para os lados o tempo todo. O ideal é entrar com outros agentes ( não necessariamente seus amigos ) pode pedir pra agrupar a outros. Simples.

    Bom Ă© isso. Espero ter ajudado.

It also didn't sit well with me that there is clearly additional content that they didn't release with the game that is coming about a month after the original release, but the more I play, the more I understand why they're timing the free release of some DLC.

    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.

    Is the game perfect? No. Is the game a 10/10? Yes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never wrote a review for anything, but I do use metacritic for all my needs to see if games are worth purchasing. As I was going through the reviews, I saw someone saying that the game is shallow. This game is FAR from shallow. The environments and the gameplay is top of the line. No longer is it possible to be massively overpowered where I could pummel all my enemies because of brute strength and dumb A.I. Hard mode missions in this game is actually VERY HARD. It plays so beautifully that I don't mind retrying to kill a boss for hours on end as long as it goes down! As bosses gets harder, I get better strategically and actually feel accomplished after a mission. I love the skirmishes where two npc's from two different factions attack each other. I can literally go for cover and watch the whole fight play out and grab me some popcorn. I can snipe both factions slowly as they fight each other. I could even just walk away and let them handle their own business. This is an amazing game. Get it and I promise you wont regret it. Expand

    I'm putting 10/10 just to attempt to balance some of those lame 0/10 scores that the trolls add.

    My opinion is that the game is 8.5+/10 right now I'm really enjoying it and that's pretty surprising as I normally shun shooters, I loathe games like CoD/Battlefield/Halo/Killzone/Arma/CSgo etc etc and I normally play rpg games but this is really fun. its sort of Diablo with guns. so

    its sort of Diablo with guns. so if you enjoy the rpg aspect of hunting for new "loot" then you'd probably enjoy this. I also enjoy breaking down the junk weapons and armour I find and using the component pieces to craft new items. its fun and modding weapons is fun too!

    I haven't purchased the game yet but I will receive a free copy from a buddy at Ubisoft. The reason for my review is to call out all the people ranking there reviews at 0. I mean, cmon. Most of you start off by saying the game has some fundamental issues but also some great aspects as well. With reviews like that you cant just give them a zero, you're just being an ass. it cant be asI haven't purchased the game yet but I will receive a free copy from a buddy at Ubisoft.

If you want be taken seriously on this site, then try putting up realistic reviews you idiots. Giving it a 10 because I'm tired of you salty **** diminishing games with zero rating reviews. Nothing in existence is THAT bad. Expand

    The Division is a game many have been wanting for years. I'm talking about before it was even announced 3 years ago. Gamers have been looking forward to a good RPG Shooter that satisfied both Shooter and RPG enthusiasts in equal manner since shooter games existed. The Division is that game.
    It is clear and apparent that a lot of time was put into the development. In many ways it does
    The Division is a game many have been wanting for years. I'm talking about before it was even announced 3 years ago. Gamers have been looking forward to a good RPG Shooter that satisfied both Shooter and RPG enthusiasts in equal manner since shooter games existed. The Division is that game.
    It is clear and apparent that a lot of time was put into the development. In many ways it does so many things right and in few areas does it sell short.

    GAMEPLAY - The best aspect of this game so far is the core gameplay. Forget about the RPG elements for now. This is a cooperative tactical shooter at heart. Is it the most realistic? No, but that is to be expected. Its a video game after all. If you want simulation play ARMA. The ability to fire and maneuver and play tactically with a team of 4 is exactly what you'll get with The Division. It is a fun cooperative shooter. Now the enemies are a little "spongy". Some are complaining about this saying " its unrealistic humans would die faster in real life". Yeah that is correct... Good observation, but, nobody complains when their fighting a dragon with a sword that's flying around spitting fire and talking at the same time. Nobody is sitting around saying "this doesn't happen in real life...."
    Now when we start talking about the RPG aspect it is a little different than most and it doesn't have the depth that some RPG's on the market offer such as The Witcher. However it still satisfies. This is a numbers game and is a little complicated to soak in at first but any fan of the RPG genre wouldn't complain. After all that's what an RPG is all about. You can explore, buy, sell, craft, upgrade, and loot just like any other RPG out there. The Loot system so far for my play through has been a little unsatisfying but at this point I have not completed the game and cannot fully comment. I spent a few hours in the Dark Zone as well and seemed to have trouble finding something I wanted. Maybe I'm just picky.
    Next I want to comment on the controls. I have only one small complaint here. I would pop out of cover all the time when I didn't want to and move around corners when I didn't want to. Well, apparently someone in the dev. team felt the same and put it in the control options to fix both of these issues. Now of course this was purely personal preference and not a legitimate complaint.

    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.
