    I must admit I desperately wanted this game to be terrible. When I saw the graphical downgrades and what seemed to be at the time, highly over-exaggerated trailers I thought to myself: here we go again. Just another Watchdogs scenario. Misleading marketing for a below average game. I digress, Tom Clancy's The Division is actually really good.

When I saw the graphical downgrades and what seemed to be at the time, highly over-exaggerated trailers I thought to myself: here we go again. Just another Watchdogs scenario. Misleading marketing for a below average game. I digress, Tom Clancy's The Division is actually really good. Set in a post-apocalyptic New York, you are a sleeper agent working for a government agency called The Division. I don't want to go to far into it for fear of spoiling it for you, but I truly feel this is a must play. Don't let the destiny comparison scare you. I totally get why Destiny has such an enormous following, but it just wasn't really what I was looking for in a game. Hell, I'm not completely sure The Division is! Needless to say I cant put it down. The city looks beautiful, the gun play is satisfying as well as the loot system. When I saw the map outline in a Gamespot video I thought it looked tiny but it is enormous. I would say maybe a third of The Witcher 3 (If you have played The Witcher then you know one third of the entire Witcher map is still massive) I know I know, just because the map is big doesn't mean the game is great, but it has depth and an all around abundance to it. There is plenty to do for at least a good month or two depending on the time you have, and that is just missions. The Dark Zone is another story. The Dark Zone is pretty much The Division's pvp mode where you mostly kill NPCs. Haha i know but surely you have heard enough about the DZ to know about what goes on. If you are wondering if you can go in alone then yes, you can. Although it's not quite as fun as going in with a couple friends whom even though you have known for years you still don't completely trust, i have gone in alone plenty of times. You make yourself an easier target but it can be done. Most players are smart enough to know it's easier on them and everyone else if they just play nice. :-) Give it a try. I know it's Ubisoft but I cant deny that the game is a lot if fun, and at times extremely intense, and in my opinion truly shines during those 20 to 30 minute fire fights. Expand

I'm pretty picky when it comes to games and i'm really enjoying this...I have 50 hours put into it and the game hasn't even been out 2 weeks at the time I am writing this. The side missions and encounters can get repetitive but the regular missions can be quite fun.

    Don't listen to the haters the game is great and if you're not a power gamer that tries to blast through everything and do everything as fast as possible, there is enough content for the average person. Especially if you are into PVP.

    I think it never hurts relevant apologize when one is prejudiced in advance even so having a clear history, I take care of my prejudice against ubisoft which responds me with a bang in the middle of the pear with your final product compared what he had seen in the beta.
    I did not tell anyone, did not read anywhere, I checked myself with my own eyes, graphically is not the same game as the beta even remotely, lighting, textures, shadows with amazing care, the map is cargadĂ­simo, objects and details everywhere you look everything is alive, nothing is the same every corner has its identity, is incredible immersion, the huge difference to walk in the tunnels entering a desolate building or walk through the mythical streets of new york, is an epic map where you look as if this were not enough talk about that we can share online if better friends undoubtedly feel that're there for something that every step you take is up to you and you can not be alone and you'll always have to walk in groups.
    All this in a context of apocalyptic plot, abandonment and decided where to walk at night is not for everyone.
    Addictive gameplay with mechanical, weapons details and finishes that border on perfection, completely successful system coverage, the divison is for frantic, for tactical, to stealthy, covers all kinds of possibilities and tastes .The weapons feel alive each meets their function and are distinct.
    We do not enter the dark zone the queen of the house according to all, I do not want to imagine what it must be that go to the suburvios to fight for items and other things with your group should be simply epic.
    I could find failing at least for now in some missions that still seem to me meh based on the context in which it develops, but this is long and does not affect gameplay.
    The fact of intertwining story development and online is tremendous.
    Downgrade? if and so I was very critical for this too, but we who can deny what they accomplished, it nextgen is not only the graphic look, it is also able to enter every corner of the city and that nothing resembles another you've been, that each rincon has as its object the cycle change is strong in lighting and immersion, almost human movements agent when walking.
    No doubt it is impossible to believe that with his background ubisoft us like product, I still can not believe it, and in this case noblesse oblige as the title tells you again ask forgiveness ubisoft this is a great game!

    At the time of writing this review I have a main character at level 25 and an alternate at level 3. I have had this game since day one and have put in almost a full 48 hours of play time. With that being said....

    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.

    So far, the game shows a lot of content. Microtransactions are only for outfit that does not change your character status. Some minor bugs as expected, but the game runs ok on PS4. A bit of improvement on the graphics since the beta, not too much. Raiding with other players was cool and the Dark Zone is always fun.

    I bought The Division to take a break from Destiny for awhile. Totally blew me away on how intricate the game is. I've broke this review down to suit the type of game.

    RPG aspect

    Excellent and very clever design. The classes aren't set in stone, you can easily switch to Heals, Tank and DPS freely which means you don't have to create too many alts. The Character Creator was a total bummer especially for this genre of game. I end up looking like 3 of my friends (I'm Asian btw, the stereotype of us looking alike. THE IRONY!!) You either have a choice between Asian, Afro American, Hispanic or middle age white guy...or ugly butch women with short hair.

    The loot drops are SOOOO much better than Destiny. You will be upgrading gear nearly every time you complete any missions. Fetch quests are no longer, you just complete missions get the gear and rewards straight away.

    Shooter aspect

    Totally 3rd person and again its RPG style. Head shots, although does more damage doesn't kill enemies straight away. FPS fans, might be turned away from this. Bosses are bullet sponges yet your team will need to use good strategy to bring them down eg. suppression fire, stun grenades. My only drawback is that there's no prone or crouch position and sneak.

    Story and Gameplay

    Story to me is pretty linear with good voice acting. The environment is top notch. Gunfire echoes down the empty streets, enemies shouting instructions making Combat really intense. AI can be a bit inconsistent. Times they flank you on both sides with shotguns and baseball bats, other times they climb on top of a car where they become a sitting duck.

    Co Op and Dark Zone PvP

    The Co Op I have no problems whatsoever. Still a fresh game, won't have a problem finding crews. As simple as choosing 'Open' and watch players jump in your game straight to the action.

    The Dark Zone is a new approach to PvP. You can either work as a team with other players to kill AI with high end gear or you can choose to go 'Rogue' and hunt down fellow human players and steal their loot but get punished more when you get killed. Any loot gathered can't be used unless extracted by chopper which makes the gameplay exciting yet stressful as you need to defend the extraction for about 2min from AI and human scavengers who will try to kill you at the very end and steal your loot. I find this an awesome way of PvP. It's not perfect yet but I think it will improve especially with the upcoming DLC.

    Overall, I love this game. Although they are 2 very different games, The Division did their research on Destiny's many flaws and came up trumps.

    I give it a 9 praising gameplay, multiplayer, graphics and sound.

    - 1 for the Character Creation as I found it very limited especially for a game with strong RPG features.

    Refreshing combo of a real-world setting & weapons with RPG elements, combined with great atmosphere, awesome coop and the highly unpredictable Dark Zone, make this a stand-out game.

    Minor gripes (e.g. NPCs repeating lines) are overlooked due to the overall polish and attention to details which is truly stunning in places. Massive are also 100% on board with updating and fixing. They've moved fast with a couple of quick updates to address minor annoyances, and so look to be focused on providing an excellent user experience.

Combat is fun and challenging, and does not seem repetitive or tedious because of the difficulty of taking down some enemies and the variety of weapon types/mods. Co-op is a great feature that is especially fun once you've already cleared an area on your own and want to replay it again with others- or I guess if you can't seem to complete a mission on your own. I've only tried the pvp dark zone once and it was tough going in there so I think I'll level up a bit more and find some players to join me first before returning.

    Graphics are impressive and simply beautiful, and for the people knocking them, I guess you weren't around to play NES or Super Nintendo, when it wasn't perfect looking but just fun (though in comparison, The Division is perfect looking). Honestly, the game looks amazing.

Kit management can become a bit of a headache and that's when the social aspect of the game dies (you'll notice stunned silence in your earpiece as your team starts tweaking kit, modding weapons etc). That said, once you have your character as you like it, you and your squad will start romping through the city again - that is until you level up, get more gear, find better weapons and the whole process starts over and over and over.

    Dark Zone will have you looking over your shoulder wondering if that "friendly" agent really is friendly or just waiting to put 2 in your skull and steal your kit.

    Solid game with loads to do. Great fun and worth every penny.

    Well, Ubisoft have done it!! Very impressive, immersive gameplay, with good PvP integration. No issues with servers or lag and all the bugs discovered in Beta have been rectified. I am in love with this game already! The longevity of the game looks good, bolstered by the fact that 3 new missions/DLC maps will be released. All in all, I believe this truly is the Destiny killer!!

    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.
