    I just cant enjoy this game. The aiming is very hard. You must shoot the enemy many times. You often die from one bullet while you need to hit them 10 times to kill an enemy? I play just about all shooter games and this one is different in terms of enjoyment. Constantly dying from waves of shooters that need to only hit you once to kill you. Couldn't get into this game.

    The Division is more and more becoming a tech-demo for the Snowdrop engine, basically "Look how great a game you can create with our engine!".

    Unfortunately, The Division is nothing like a great game.

    Massive and Ubisoft seems to have no clue as to how to create a good multiplayer game. They may flounder when it comes to singleplayer experiences, like with Assassins Creed, but The Division is in a whole league of its own.

    There are a couple of main areas where the game not only falls short but utterly fails completely:

    * Balancing
    * Lag
    * Being ready to be released as a "final game"
    * Lasting gameplay value

    The balancing is utterly rubbish. The game has a cap on "damage mitigation" but no cap on "damage output". Let me give an example. Your player can wear different types of armor to reduce the damage you get from an enemy. If the enemy is capable of doing 1000 damage per shot (as a simple example), and you have 50% damage mitigation, your player will get 500 damage from that shot. Damage mitigation is capped at 65%, meaning that out of that 1000 the enemy outputs, your character will incur a health reduction of 650.

    On the other hand, they have not capped damage output. If you have a character capable of outputting 300K damage per second, a player with a 65% damage mitigation will need 195K health to survive one second. It is not unheard of meeting players in PvP with 300+K damage output. This means that from the point where they decide to start firing upon you you would have less than 1 second to react in order to survive.

    So that's somewhat bad.

    But what really makes this bad is the fact that the game has really bad lag, there are numerous Youtube videos about this. This means that the amount of time you have to react when someone decide to start shooting at you is less than one second, more like 1 second minus that lag.

    Quite often when you meet players in PvP and they decide to shoot at you you're dead before you can even know what hit you.

    This isn't a recipe for good PvP. This is basically a recipe for griefing.

    The game was also quite a long way away from being ready to be released when it was released. There has been so many bugs, glitches, exploits, and problems that this game goes down in history as the worst game launch ever. Launch a new update which gives players a chance to earn "the best loot in the game, once a week" and players have *all* the best loot available in the game a few hours later because they've exploited various glitches to complete the "hardest part of the game" multiple times. Forget "once a week", this was reduced to "once or twice an hour".

    Remember those 300K players in pvp? Who do you think you're up against if you enter PvP? The players who glitched and got all the best gear in the game the first night.

    All of this hinges on the fact that the game has lasting replay value. A good such game will have you wanting to go home from work, every day, and log on. The Division managed to make that a chore. Log on every day and do your daily missions to earn the currency used to buy "the best gear in the game" and the log off because the only other way to get good gear is through PvP where you're getting slaughtered unless you glitched.

    And let's not forget the facts that:

    * They managed to botch the daily missions, not only do they repeat 3-4 days in a row without change because some "programmer" at Massive used copy-and-paste to fill out the tables but they have disappeared from the game twice now, no dailys because the programmes didn't copy-and-paste enough.
    * The source of *all* the glitches in the game, a specific skill, is still not removed pending final fixes, meaning that you can still glitch in large parts of the game with this skill.
    * The "hardest content in the game", the new Incursion, which apparently gave the team at Massive a major problem getting through, and was then made even harder, was beat and then glitched through in less than an hour after launch. At some point Massive is going to realize that "the smartest people are not working at the same place you are" is quite true indeed.
    * The Incursion, which apparently was hyped with "new mechanichs", is basically a 15-wave horde mode where you battle 15 waves of enemies and have to deal with 4 mobs carrying explosives by picking up the explosive and placing it on a tank. If you've played *any* sort of MMORPG the last, oh, say, 15 years, you know that "boss mechanics" is ... not the same. Not the same at all.

    This game had potential, it had promise, it looks gorgeous, and it went from superhyped and hot to irrelevant in less than a month.

    There are numerous good games coming out this year, some quite soon too. Do your wallet a favour and stay away from The Division.

    Unless, of course, you like playing buggy unfinished glitchy games where PvP balance is like the joke where someone suddenly throws a cream pie in your face. Then of course The Division is entirely your game.    … Expand

    Let me start out saying this game had such potential on so many levels. I really wish this game could have delivered all it promised, but as it is becoming an industry standard, it fails to provide its audiences with the basics of what was promised.

I really wish this game could have delivered all it promised, but as it is becoming an industry standard, it fails to provide its audiences with the basics of what was promised.

    This game looks really good and runs well on the console with few exceptions. There are some times in heavy combat, both DZ and Single player, that I noticed some lag spikes or frame drops. While mostly a non issue in the heat of combat it can be annoying.

    Sound and ambient effects are outstanding, this game really does feel alive. Although I did have to wonder why there are so many dogs free in the city. Seriously I don't think there are even that many dogs in that city. People hiding on second floor windows shouting at you as you pass was a really nice touch but I wish you could shoot them sometimes. That lack of ability to interact with civilians does take away from the open world concept. You can go rogue in the DZ but not in your single player game? Seriously, how misleading is this concept.

    Updates, updates, updates.... With each new update comes more bugs, glitches and issues and now we have Destiny in NYC. Seriously has anyone noticed this? There are so many videos on how to glitch and how to get your weapons up to "X" amount of DPS and so on and so forth. You might as well go play a moba because everyone is running the same things or grinding forever to get there and then BAM update gotta start over for the next set of gear. With the introduction of incursions into the game, the entire balance and lack of willingness on the great UBISOFT to fix the glitches and Microsoft for not going after "glitchers" for affecting a multiplayer game is sad.

    Overall the single player is okay repetitive and short lived, not a lot of content though there is a lot of city. Missions are rinse and repeat. *cough* *cough* Destiny all over again *cough* *cough*. With the delays this game suffered it should have been more well rounded and less bugged out than it is after the update for incursions. This is a grand gesture by companies like UBISOFT that they no longer care for the concerns of the consumer but for the bottom line of their profit margins.

    The larger question that remains is how long are companies going to get away with putting out half finished content and not policing their games to assure that it delivers the desired product. The same could be said for Microsoft but as it runs on UBISOFT servers I don't feel that this is Microsoft's issue. Glitching is tantamount to cheating if it affects any multiplayer environment and The Division is a sad reminder that companies no longer care about players playing their games and enjoying their product but instead they are focused on sales.    … Expand

    This game is just a cheap cash in that does nothing original. It's just a shallow third person cover shooter with other players and loot (whoop de do). The graphics are good but they pulled a Watch Dogs again, meaning they lied to their consumers. There are microtransactions and plenty of connection problems. Just a overall shallow and cheaply made game for the casual gamers everywhere.

It's not overly complicated, and there's no steep learning curve as in some similar games. The gunplay is fairly entertaining, and the powers are fun to use.

    Unfortunately, this is an Ubisoft game, which means that there are bugs running rampant because of poor testing models. And, as usual for Ubisoft games, they're not fixing them (remember Unity, kids?). Very few updates have come out in the near-month that this game has been out, leaving a horrific crash bug, FPS drops in areas, and items that cannot be redeemed. The Ubisoft help queue is ridiculous right now, and hardly give what could be called customer service at all to fix their broken game. Some of the glitches are indeed game-breaking and need to be fixed.

    Overall, by the time you near level 30, you're just running side missions and getting bored out of your mind. They had stated officially that the Dark Zone in-game was not endgame. That was a lie. If you do not have DLC, then the only things to do at level 30 are Dark Zone and daily missions (Hmm, sounds familiar). Unfortunately, the things this game does to make itself unique do get boring after a while. Loot is hardly good and usually ends up deconstructed for parts or sold (though starting currency has no value in the endgame, where DZ credits are needed for all high-level items).

    I'm not going to hide it.. I got to level 30 in a couple weeks of playing maybe an hour or two a night after work with friends. Now that I'm level 30, I have no interest in the game. It's just running the same things on hard mode, or the like. This game feels extremely rushed (despite that massive delay). I don't understand how Ubisoft could have messed this one up, I really don't.

    Do I like the Division? Yes. Hell yes, even. However, it is incomplete and buggy in its current state. As such, I cannot recommend it. If you absolutely must play it, wait for the price to drop into the $40 range and let the bugs be ironed out. I anticipate that taking months with Ubisoft where its at now. Trust me, you're only missing frustration and boredom in the endgame.    … Expand

I'm going to start with the positives of the game. The graphics. The graphics in this game are beautiful, almost life like, combined with the soothing soundtrack it makes for an immersive looking New York City. Another thing this game gets right is its character and weapon customization. The initial character creator is absolute garbage, with only 8 types of faces to choose from and minimal hairstyles to choose from, your character doesn't feel like you or like who you want to be. But the main customization comes from the clothing, there are multiple different types of jackets, trousers, shirts, shoes, scarfs and hats to choose from. This gives you a big choice in what you want to look like. Do I want to be a fully kitted out military fighter with the tactical shirt and combat trousers? Or do I want to look like a normal person trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland wearing my running shoes and jeans? There are multiple ways to make our character look. Another big customization factor is your weapons. Multiple attachments and camouflages make your gun look unique. I haven't met someone with the same camouflage or attachments as me.

    Now it's time to talk about why the game has a low score. The game is a maths simulator.
    Don't get me wrong the first 30 levels of this game are anything but that, being very fun and enjoyable to play through. But after you complete the various encounters and side missions there is hardly anything to to do and what there is to do is a huge grind. The Incursions (Raids) are fun but after doing them once it becomes a chore. The loot system and 'Gear Score' system is absolutley dreadful. The main aim is to work towards gear score 240 gear, which if you want you have to complete the hardest incursion on the hardest difficulty only to be awarded the same gun that you got the last time you played it. But the catch is you can't just jump into the hardest incursion no, no, no you have to complete the easier one first to only be awarded gear score 214 gear. This ultimately means that you are literally just wasting time in your life until you get to that final strike which has to be completed 20-25 to finally get max gear score and then what? Just pub stomp some people in the dark zone? Ubisoft intended you to play through the lowest level incursion 20-25 times and the play the next one 20-25 times. While doing this you are trying to min/max your gear, so yes you may get the best gear, but if it has bad stats then whats the point in even having it? This is when the game becomes a maths simulator. You have to get the highest numbers in one area and then the highest numbers in one area while also getting gear score 240 gear. NO. Ubisoft just made this game as a cash grab. Absolute Garbage. Especially when being asked to fork over £100 for the game and the 2 lackluster DLC's. Honestly go play Destiny.

    Pourtant, il n'est pas jouable hors ligne et sa connexion obligatoire le range dans la catégorie des MMO... dont il reprend tous les principes du farmage à gogo et du remplissage jusqu'à ce que le joueur en bouffe sa manette. Dans le genre bien lourdingue, les boss, véritables éponges à balles et gouffres à bastos sont parmi ce qui se fait de pire et le jeu souffre d'un grave défaut d'équilibrage de ce point de vue, rendant la progression particulièrement erratique.

    La coopération est aussi chiante que dans un bordel lands mais ça on s'y attendait ma foi. Quant à la "dark zone", il s'agit surtout d'un nid à crevards de campeurs et autres maudits enfants de putains, une foire aux kévins comme n'importe quel jeu multi-joueurs en somme.

    Le ramage est donc à revoir et fait regretter d'autant plus ce magnifique plumage qui place la Division parmi les plus beaux jeux en monde ouvert jamais créés : quel dommage qu'Ubisoft n'ait pas su choisir ce qu'il voulait faire, car peu importe le flacon si l'ivresse ne suit pas !

    Ce n'est pas un vrai MMO et les amateurs du genre seront déçus ; ce n'est pas non plus un vrai jeu solo en raison de son contenu répétitif jusqu'à la nausée, calibré pour le fermier coréen ; il ne s'agit pas d'un vrai jeu de rôle en tant que tel, aussi bourrin soit-il, loin de la formule trouvée par Gearbox même s'il y fait souvent penser.

    En fait, la Division est un splendide piège à cons et j'y suis tombé dedans comme beaucoup d'autres, appâté par l'appétissante perspective d'un Bordel lands dans un New York post-apo de notre époque ; une époque "moderne" qui nous a fait miroiter des gadgets à la Splinter, des armes à la Rainbow, tout le folklore du monde paranoïaque des licences Tom Clancy exploitées depuis des lustres par Ubisoft...

    Nous voilà en fait dans une "espèce" de simulacre de jeu de "rôle" bâtard et foireux, bricolé avec un bric-à-brac d'idées éparses et désordonnées dont l'amalgame final est enrobé dans un superbe emballage. Une fois le cellophane doré retiré, on déchante cruellement.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a good game at first but Then I’d regretted buying this game Preowned for $8

    Reasons:
    - When you complete a mission the next mission will be 50x harder even if you’d first started the game it would be that hard
    - Gaining XP is not worth your time because you’d get under 10 XP Points which is ****
    - The Dark Zone is Bull**** because you’d required Xbox Live Gold or PSN if your on the PS4
    - When you’d have a weapon with a certain amount of damage you’d only gain weaker weapons even if you’d defeated a boss or a powerful enemy and that also applies with armour
    - There is no offline mode, basically Ubisoft is telling everyone on console to Buy a **** online subscription nobody will because PS Plus is $80AUD and Xbox Gold is $10 so every year your paying $120
    - Whenever you’d expect something in this game it won’t exist or it will be the opposite of what your expecting

    What is expected and must be added:
    - Offline Mode (We are not wasting our money on Online Subscription)
    - 1-4 Local Player Compatibility
    - Better Levelling System
    - Every Mission not being 50x harder then the previous Mission
    - Less or no features Locked behind a paywall (aka Online Subscription)
    - Having no enemies that are lower level than you one shot you even if the armour is up to date    … Expand

    Ubisoft hasn't built a title like this before, and the inexperience clearly shows – The Division seems to be a victim of its ambitions. The good news is that now, games can be updated, and the flaws in the system aren't so thick that they're beyond repair. With proper attention, Ubisoft could easily pivot the game towards the vision it represents. We can only hope that The Division's long-term story is just beginning.

    A generous, rewarding shooter with some of the best multiplayer gunplay on Xbox. [May 2016, p.80]

    We have a huge city at our disposal, many hours of fun and possibilities of replaying the game either alone or with friends. The Division has become the best-selling Ubisoft IP in the first 24 hours and we are not surprised, it gives freedom to the players and offers them the opportunity to explore this post-apocaliptic world.
