    I'll wait around until the first expansion. They better hurry though or risk losing people who get board without progression.    … Expand

    I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to make a point that I see no one making. No, The Division isn't gonna redefine how we play games.

And because The Division is based on reality, I feel like it resonates more for a hardcore gamer. The graphics are outstanding, the atmosphere is great, the gameplay is challenging and deep. And most of all, the game is a lot of fun.
    My cons are that I was hoping for a more dramatic story telling. Unfortunately, while there is some story, once again it is not a focus at all. That's disappointing to me. But again, the game is so much fun and is such a unique take as an RPG shooter that it isn't a deal breaker.
    Anyway, I just wanted to stress the fact that The Division serves a need for a great RPG Shooter that is like nothing else on the market, and in that sense, it is a resounding success    … Expand

    When I played both the closed and open betas for this game, I very much disliked this game.

I have no idea what I missed in the beta, or if there were mechanics or elements absent from the beta that make the game far more interesting, but something happened and I can't stop playing the game.

    The combat is fun and require legitimate strategy rather than just 'aim shoot bang u ded', and often requires coordination and communication between you and your teammates to effectively tackle an objective. On top of this, the visuals look absolutely fantastic on PS4. The snow-covered streets are an absolute blast to walk around and look at, and there's a sense of barrenness, but executed correctly, unlike games like Fallout 4.

    I'll probably update this review as I collect my thoughts for it, but for now I am going to go ahead and say this: if you've been following this game for a while and are still interested in it, it'll absolutely be worth your time and money. I love this game and I can't wait to go back to sink many more hours into it.    … Expand

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

This Division, however, has sucked me in and keeps me coming back for more. I like playing all the missions on Hard level in solo mode the first time through to get the lay of the land, restock locations, and enemy patterns, and then going back a few times to team up with others. The enemies are much harder in the co-op raid, but being able to plan your attack with a team is very satisfying. Very happy to own and play this game and would highly recommend to others.… Expand

Ubisoft is just WAY to unpredictable.

    The Division was a games that promised more than it could actually provide. There was a huge hype train for this game and many people considered it as a "modern" version of Destiny. The gameplay is is very fun for the first couple hours until it becomes very repetitive and the graphics are average and definitely way worse than the graphics we saw in all of the trailers at E3 before the game was released. The combat feels like a generic cover-based 3rd person shooter. The voice acting is not that good and sounds very dull. Even at 30fps, the game still has many frame rate drops on consoles and the open world does not feel that "natural" and feels more artificial and fake. It is pretty empty. The character customization is average but not the best. But players can still look unique among others. The game had a great idea but was put in the hands of the wrong developer which is what my opinion is. So much content is being locked out and put in 3 expansions! However, I have hope that with further updates, this game still has potential to be a great game. But for now, this game needs plenty of improvement. Thank you for reading this review! :)    … Expand

    A divide in fun.
    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

    It is an overall solid fun game to play. It does mix elements from different games but the most notable to me is Destiny meets Borderlands with the Gears of War cover system and a dash of an apocalyptic 3rd person GTA New York setting. The decent size open map is filled with things to do from protecting A.I. agents and securing supply drops from gangs to finding details on missing personnel. I could have used more variety in mission options to be honest. The missions can get repetitive after some time but they take place in different locations of the city as opposed to other games where you can run blindly thru the same map so at least that adds something new into the mix. I've also found some missing cell phones that have recordings on them with genuine sounding convos that people have had prior to and during the breakdown of New York and I can admit some are very well scripted. The overall structure of the game is to kill, loot and repeat. This might seem like an exhausted system that has scarred us but for what the game is, it works well. If you don't mind doing the grind routine and need a change from what was supposed to be a phenomenal game changer, this is your game. No this game is not going to set the bar nor will it be the last game you play but, it is no doubt a good game. I do think that with the delays and the time it took to put out the game, there are elements that could have been not necessarily changed but, made better. The cover system can get aggravating at time especially when enemies are starting to flank you from both sides and you movements can feel delayed and not smooth. The shooting is refreshingly inaccurate meaning you don't aim down the sights and all your bullets go straight. You have to try and hit your target and from a distance, you need to try harder. I've noticed that with full auto rifles you need to feather the trigger or the gun will run up on you and with marksman rifles you cant fire off 2 shots in quick succession due to recoil. Shooting does and will require some patience to get used to and no you cannot just run and gun. This game does rely on the cover system in order to survive which you should get used to if you want to make it thru.
    Multiplayer
    For the campaign, teaming up with friends is pretty simplistic minus the friend you invite needing to click and hold a thumb stick which feels unnatural and can be confusing. This prompt can also be easily overlooked making it somewhat time consuming if you’re trying to get something going. Doing campaign together is fun though and adds a difficulty in it as now instead of enemies flanking just you, they are trying to get your partner/s and in turn they will start to focus on you if they come within range.
    Darkzone
    This is what you play the campaign to be able to accomplish. Here the rules are simple, kill or be killed. You can go at it alone or with friends and you can be taken out by one or many. You find the best items in here and to obtain them, you need to level up both in campaign and in the Darkzone. The Darkzone brings a new tier of difficulty as the enemies are tougher and if any other players decide to go Rogue, you have them to worry about. Any loot is also up for grabs to the first person who wants it. In my experience, people have been considerate and you keep what you kill but any higher tier items you can expect to fight for. Someone take your drop? Kill them and take it back. Kill them and become marked as Rogue and now you are an enemy to everyone. You have to choose your battles wisely. This area is basically a harder version of the campaign except any items have to be air lifted out for decontamination… if you can survive the wait. The biggest downfall is higher level players trolling lower level for their gear. I’ve encountered this a few times but less often then I would’ve guessed.

    Overall, I would suggest this game. It has its fun moments but it can get repetitive. The model is old and has been used more than its fair share of times but the fresh atmosphere and altered landscape of an iconic city provide a pleasant backdrop to taking on the streets. The blend of a few different games comes together quite nicely even with the few mechanical errors that take place. My biggest gripe is with the snowy Christmas setting, I feel this game should’ve come out in the Holiday season 2015 to go with the times. Maybe they can do game updates and patches to match the seasons? Time will tell but for now, I have to clean up the streets.    … 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

    Played nearly three days worth of this game and I'm still enjoying it. There are a lot of fun things to do in this game. The graphics are beautiful, combat is fun and makes you think very strategically rather than running straight into a firefight. The options to switch out roles from Healer, Crowd Control, Tank, and DPS on the fly makes every mission engaging and exciting.

The options to switch out roles from Healer, Crowd Control, Tank, and DPS on the fly makes every mission engaging and exciting. Crafting in this game is very well done. There are many weapons and mod options to tailor your load-out to fit your fighting style.

    I will say this is an RPG first Shooter second game. If you don't like RPGs or are expecting this to be a CoD game then you will want to rethink buying this game.

    There are a number of bugs in this game, but that is to be expected at launch. Ubi/Massive are listening to fan feedback and making regular updates/patches/fixes. As long as this continues I'm sure most if not all the bugs will be addressed and not hold this game back.

    If you like RPG Shooter Looters (Bordlerands Series, Destiny, etc) then you will enjoy this game.    … Expand

    Been playing this game all week, and after playing the beta I am surprised that I am having this much fun. The story is not going to win any awards, but it is not bad at all and it's actually something that could happen.

The atmosphere is great, and the graphics are realistic and help immerse you into the world. I give this game an 8/10 because it is fun to play with friends, and on hard mode it has the right amount of challenge without being overly frustrating and unfair yet it is not perfect and if the game had fully destrructable environments and more blood splatter effects I would have given it a 10. Anyone giving this game anything under a 6 either has not played the game, or they were expecting a 6 ft blonde to pop out of the tv screen and give them a happy ending because lets face it you can't make everyone happy.… Expand

    The Division have a clearly downgrade from the 2013's E3, the app that they show to us doesn't exist anymore, BUT is a great game, still good looking and also with the forever alone option and online multiplayer, dark zones are a great idea but they need to have more incentive to be aggressive and not so gentleman, is a TPS that feels sometimes like an RPG and have a lot of missions toThe Division have a clearly downgrade from the 2013's E3, the app that they show to us doesn't exist anymore, BUT is a great game, still good looking and also with the forever alone option and online multiplayer, dark zones are a great idea but they need to have more incentive to be aggressive and not so gentleman, is a TPS that feels sometimes like an RPG and have a lot of missions to accomplish and a great matchmaking this game must become greater with season pass and updates so, APPROVED to have it on your library!… Expand

    If gaming was all about LOOKS than The Division would be the MONA LISA of gaming however sometimes pictures can get cracked and damaged especially with time & this is my main concern with this slightly disappointing title especially considering the HYPE & the somewhat amazing but MISLEADING TRAILERS !!!

The games graphics are STELLAR with SHARP IMAGES and VERY FEW JAGGY EDGES and UBISOFT need to be congratulated in this department. My main CONCERN is REPETITIOUS quests and this already seems to be the FEEL after a SOLID 3 hours of game time. 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. I THINK IT"S ABOUT TIME GAME DEVELOPERS DEVELOPED SOME INSIGHT or more to the point (COMMON KNOWLEDGE) and came to REALISATION THAT VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE and the KEY INGREDIENT TO A GAMES SUCCESS !!!!!!… Expand

    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.
