 The Division- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, By

This review is from: Tom Clancy’s The Division – PC (CD-ROM)
First, a quick rating in 1-5 stars * Lots of praise to this game despite some very bitter remarks in this review. I still play this game despite how stoooopid this game can be but as a genuine RPG lover I already know how to enjoy the good and endure the bad that comes with all RPGs. Bad things such as ridiculous damage sponge enemies, level difference penalties, unrealistic combat, hordes of enemies, enemy spawn nonsense, insane sick disgusting difficulty one moment and then super easy difficulty the next moment, death penalties, item costs, gear rarity issues, and general issues with leveling balances or progress impediments. Yep, this is an RPG through and through!! Animations: ** Shooting/Smoothness: ***** RPG Elements: **** Action and Mission Basics: Graphics: ***** Story: * DARK…

 Hackers control this game, so dont waste your time or money, its not worth it,
This review is from: Tom Clancy’s The Division – PC (CD-ROM)
When the game first came out, it was a lot of fun. It was great to explore the world and do the missions and all that sort of thing. As time has gone on the game has gotten more and more out of the hands of Massive and Ubisoft and now hackers control the game and playing it is a nightmare.
You simply cannot go into the DarkZone on pc without being accosted by hackers at every turn. This was a problem back in the initial beta’s for the game and nothing has changed and hackers still run rough shod over the darkzone with no end in sight. The thing that’s most infuriating is the fact that ubisoft and massive has the audacity to complain about people using exploits in the game and how they are going to come down hard on them but have to date not mentioned or said anything about the hacking situation or how they intend to fix it. Ubisoft and Massive made a buggy games that’s easy to exploit and they are trying to DARVO the community and play the victim when it is they who have knowingly been complicit in regards to the issues in the game since well before launch. The expanded "Incursion" missions are so ridiculously hard that it is nearly impossible to beat them and the rewards for doing it are so small that it is more work than fun or adventure and simply not worth the time and effort. The meta game is an absolute waste of time because its all RNG based and 9 times out of 10 you end up with useless garbage that does you no good, not even on the level of breaking it down for crafting. I would not recommend this game at all until Ubisoft and Massive come forward and apologize for the shameful way they’ve ignored the hacking issues and done nothing to fix the problems plaguing the game. This game is not worth the money or the time unless Ubi fixes the hacker issues, which as it stands today, isnt likely to happen ever.

This review is from: Tom Clancy’s The Division – PC (CD-ROM)
Caveat Emptor/Buyer Beware:
Having put 94 hours into the game, you’d think I’d probably have enjoyed it. And I did, for the time I was allowed to do so. But unfortunately this game is unplayable for me and a subset of The Division player base. As I type, I am currently stuck on the “connecting [username]” screen, the screen you encounter right before you get to the character select. MMO’s are predicated on the ability of the developer and publisher to accomplish two basic primary tasks: 1. Provide access to your account (the service you are purchasing) with reasonable interruptions So far, Ubisoft has failed to meet these two basic criteria and I cannot in good conscious recommend anyone purchasing or continuing to spend time playing the game until the issue is sufficiently addressed. You can literally lose access to your account at any moment, and there has been little communication about what the issue is and when account access will (or can) be restored. For more information, you can see the offical thread on the forums as proof: […] |

The Division- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,
First, a quick rating in 1-5 stars *
Lots of praise to this game despite some very bitter remarks in this review. I still play this game despite how stoooopid this game can be but as a genuine RPG lover I already know how to enjoy the good and endure the bad that comes with all RPGs. Bad things such as ridiculous damage sponge enemies, level difference penalties, unrealistic combat, hordes of enemies, enemy spawn nonsense, insane sick disgusting difficulty one moment and then super easy difficulty the next moment, death penalties, item costs, gear rarity issues, and general issues with leveling balances or progress impediments. Yep, this is an RPG through and through!!
Animations: **
-Enemies often move, idle, run and die in very comical ways. In fact, you might watch the enemies and think aloud, “What was that? Seriously???” For example, some of the gangsters wiggle and bobble like a cross between boxers hopping around like Muhammad Ali and zombies scrambling or shuffling. Not exaggerating. Memorizing enemy animations is key to headshot skills, so believe me, these animations are borderline silly at times.
Shooting/Smoothness: *****
-The gun mechanics are buttery smooth. Not only are there no complaints, but this game achieves what I only wish other similar games like Borderlands tried to do. Some games people just can’t get the knack of, but in this game whether I used a shotgun, sniper rifle, machine gun or pistol, I felt epic and the shooting was incredible
RPG Elements: ****
-This game is VERY similar in game play and RPG mixture styles to Borderlands and Destiny. Loved Borderlands but hated its shooting, all around hated Destiny. This game is takes the best. The RPG elements are more diluted but the talents and perks system work just like it. I only wish Borderlands was this smooth.
Action and Mission Basics:
-Basically nonstop but plenty of time to explore without constant spawns breaking down the quiet exploration of the dying city. Side missions get very repetitive fast but reaching level 30 and burning a week on this game is well played time because the world and RPG elements keep you going strong to get great gear and blast more heads with fewer shots, amplifying the action it offers. Despite the repetition, anyone who has ever loved RPGs like Path of Exile, DOTA or Diablo 2 will not be bothered at all by the side missions, in fact the predictable nature of them are a comfort since you have a foreknowledge of what the mission will throw at you, giving you the ability to plan, predict, and even wander safely into much higher level areas. A little knowledge is a lot of power in this game.
Graphics: *****
-Beats the Witcher 3 and GTA5 by a fair bit, but it helps that this game uses so much shadow-play in the landscape to really achieve its look. The game is nothing shy of visually impeccable. Though games like the Witcher 3 and GTA5 take on far more effects in their worlds, there is plenty of light, weather and atmospheric changes in Division to still say its visually superior to either of these games. If you can run GTA5 and Witcher 3 on max like I can (R9 390 35-45 FPS) then this game will run fine. I average 50 FPS all graphics maxed with minor dips here and there. Most PC Ubisoft games run about as smoothy as a person being thrown in a woodchipper but Ubisoft looks like to have achieved better optimizations in this game than its previous games.
Story: *
-What story? Not really any story, but more like snippets of peoples’ experiences strewn throughout the world. Doom 3 had a similar method to allow the player to hear the story but even its story and delivery was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. hence the 1 star on this facet of the game. That should give you an idea! It bothers me that the previews and trailers for the game made the Division look like an epic story but saying there is no story at all is almost totally accurate. The voice acting and dialogue is oppressively depressing, generic and dissatisfying. One of the characters Faye Lau talks over walkie-talkie a lot during missions and she irritated me the entire game. Her dialogue is so bad! Oh my lands, so bad! And you’re going to hear it a lot since this game will make you grind main missions to get great gear. You will memorize the bland, sparse dialogue better than Jack Van Impe quotes the Bible!!!! The game’s story is barely more than cliche chatter. For heaven’s sake, it’s irritating to be called “Agent.” Every five seconds you’re called Agent, but that would make sense for a fully customized character, but Division has only character presets. The character creation is not fit to even be called character customization. There’s no reason why you, the player, should not have a voice in the game and a name. There really is NOTHING holding this game together beyond gear hunting and shooting people.
