    This game will not work without network connection and not all ps4 players have good network.Ubisoft should make it available in offline gameplay. They have said that will be played in offline far before release.And no confirmation before release that this game will work without network.Gameplay maybe good in multiplayer.

    El juego tiene detalles muy cuidados y lo más importante es que es muy jugable . Visualmente está muy logrado y va bastante fino . Las habilidad y ventajas a desbloquear invitan a meter horas , habrá que ver qué tal lo maneja Ubisoft cuando no halla nada más que desbloquear , pero de momento el juego es recomendable .

    Ummm. This game is not great at all. Clunky, sluggish controls. With all the beta time a lot of these bugs should of been squashed before release. Not impressed at all. Luckily got the game for free so I don't feel like I wasted money.

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.    … Expand

    It's Diablo 3 with guns, really, nuff said. The funny part is how some people are writing reviews based on a few minutes of downtime with the servers on Day 1. Hilarious, and not representative of if the game works or not. It's a blast to play with friends.

More fun with a group of people you know.

    It's not perfect - it needs to be a bit bigger, it needs trading and a clan system and just more content overall - but this game is certainly on the right path - and if they continue this path people will enjoy this game for a long time.

    Well, it's just generic as possible: post-apocalyptic third-person online cover shooter set in New York City - how can you get more genereric than that? The obvious huge graphical downgrade from the impressive E3 demo is also a downer.

This game with friends is a 9 (close to a 10, to be frank) but a 7 (maybe even a 6) solo and being that I play both solo and coop about equally, I average it around 8.

    Pros: the environments are not half bad - graphics wise, not the best but in terms of displaying a dilapidated Manhattan, I think it is pretty spot on in terms of what comes to mind. Coop can be super intense - with the right people working together, every key story mission and (especially) Dark Zone exploration is jampacked with enjoyment and adrenaline because it does encourage legitimate cooperation to get things done. Story - while not the most original in many senses, it does fulfill what Tom Clancy novels/games are known for, making it feel like a lot is on the line and manifests itself in an eerily plausible occurrence in the realm of Biowarfare. Customization - the game does have a lot to offer to make sure most people find what type of fighter they would be, be it a rusher with a shotgun or a crit hitting SMG or one who stays back to pick people off with high precision ARs/DMRs, its all there for the choosing.

    Cons: To be honest, the biggest issue comes down to the fact that if you are not playing Coop, you are not really maximizing the experience of this game, which I can completely understand because I also enjoy some of my games done solo. Though the game is, admittedly, on the short side, it has the room there to grow even more (maybe it might follow in the footsteps of Destiny where after like 3 expansions, it will come out at as a whole collection for the same price when it would be worth the buy as the smaller issues get ironed out). I personally got the Gold edition, so I don't heavily consider this a big con but I can understand if some people do if they don't have any future DLCs in mind and are upset at what they currently have right now.

    If you do plan on a pick up, I encourage you guys to spend the extra 30 and go for the Gold to make sure you got future DLCs covered but if you love playing solo, there are honestly more fulfilling games on the marker for that type of play-style and I implore you to check out other games before investing in this one.    … 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

    So far, it is solid. I love how the game is instanced, you never really see anyone else unless you are in a common area. If you want multiplayer you can go into the Dark Zone, if you don't you can stay out and just play by yourself, or with friends.

    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.

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

    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.
