    If any future game developer wanna do any MMORPG again, pls take a look on PSP - Monster Hunter.
    It got a way better looting system, farm, wider range of weapon of choice. They alimented the PvP element, but did a good fine job with cooperate

    The only good thing is it is very popularized game at the moment

    Pro:
    Very populated game for at least 2-3 months

    Good Coop system (but not the actual play, Army of Two by EA is a way better 3rd Person shooter.)

    a must for Any mmorpg players (Destiny, Diablo)

    Cons:
    Only few missions, you could finish all of it on 1st night.

    fooling graphic (we know the E3 demo)

    Too repetitive.

    Little Variety of Enemies So Far

    Worst PvP system I've ever seen (You will never get a fair fight in DZ)    … Expand

    This is how you create an RPG shooter. I will be playing this for months and will be picking up the season pass. The game just keeps on giving and is never dull. Bravo, Ubisoft.

    the division is too bad, it is suck too much, repetitive gameplay too boring to play for so long, I tried but could not continue to be, I made a mistake buying this game when I to spend money on a game, not a product failure like this, I would not recommend a friend or anyone here to buy this product because it is a big disappointment

The Dark Zone, it is really the Gank Zone. Players who know the exploits get gear faster, what makes this game even worse is that the entire game is programmed against you. Instead of sizing up a situation and then executing your plan, when you are about to get loot, extract loot or leave the Dark Zone, magically NPC's appear, the PC controls are a click fest, this is so obvious a port from the console the menu system is very un-intuitive. Cool concept, nice graphics, resource hog. It is not worth it.… Expand

    I had such high hopes for this game was fun til you reach the cap.There is no real endgame the crafting is the endgame all you do is craft items to get rid of because you cant get the right stats.Then the bugs and glitches i would not endorse this game at all play destiny instead of this.

    If you liked Destiny at launch, there's a strong chance you'll like this. Maybe even more...
    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.

    Game of the year? It is the best game of MMORPG Shooter . I played beta and i thought this game is awesome. I have not bought The Division yet, but i will do that. I have been watch streams for 2 days and Iactually can say The Dvision the best MMORPG shooter. Ubisoft made a successfuly greate game as Rainbow Six Siege or Far Cry Primal. 10/10

    At first glance this game is o'k, pretty look and role-play system, many weapons etc. But when you play it it turned to an ugly monster: a lot of bugs, nad cashing, boring and similar side-quests, and as a center of ugliness: Dark Zone PvP. This pvp are made SO BAD, that it does not provide fun, only anger.

Don't get me wrong as I'm having FUN & I'm satisfied with my purchase at this stage but I'm very concerned about BEING BORED WITH THE DIVISION AFTER ABOUT A WEEK and I HOPE this isn't the case as this game HAS LOADS OF POTENTIAL.

The game looks absolutely stunning and had me stroll through New York just for the view, looking for streets I visited there a few years ago. Everything from lighting to reflections in puddles and windows look fantastic although arguably less so than its PC counterpart. In terms of depth it might be too soon to give the Division the edge over Destiny but it offers so much options in terms of customization that I absolutely love it. Adding a scope, grip or paint to your rifle and seeing it swing from your backpack is ackwardly satisfying. The only possible downside I can mention, is like Destiny, is the chance of repetitiveness in terms of missions and foes. I hope that with more time and progress in the storyline, I have played roughly five to seven hours now, the variety in missions, foes and their tactics will increase because this is what ruined Destiny for me, it was just too repetitive. Overall it looks and plays better than Destiny, its customization options far exceed Destiny's kits and classes (although Destiny's gear estetics where nice too look at) so the Division has tons of potential and I hope Ubisoft will be continue to add to this world by both free and paid content.

    It is a considerably more rounded game than Destiny (to which it has been often compared) with a much more distinct sense of purpose to the game. Destiny felt like a collection of arenas tied together with a very flimsy narrative. The Division's narrative is much more clearly defined and the world is much more cohesive.
    Multiplayer works like a charm in PvE.
    My only criticism is that there may be some balancing issue with difficulty in the Dark Zone (PvP).
    Hopefully Ubisoft will be able to balance things out in the future.

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

    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.
