I feel like The Division has always been in development
ever since the beginning of time. In reality,
It's only been three years.
But for Ubisoft, that is an eternity.
So now that we finally have it, is it revolutionary?
No.
Is Ubisoft good again?
No, Fuck them.
But is this a fun game?
Yeah.
It actually is pretty fun.
The game takes place a week after
Donald Trump has been elected president.
As a member of The Division you are brought in by Ubisoft
to shoot the shit out of black people.
I mean, pretty much you are just only shooting black people for the first third of this game.
But then,
Michael Cera's bitch-ass gives out flame throwers to everybody.
PIECE OF SHIT!
Then you gotta shoot flamethrower guys until you piss off the final boss,
Bane.
Now you fucked up.
Ahh, Uplay, that's bad...
Copy and paste missions, that's bad...
Season pass, bad...
But you can skip most of the cutscenes,
No trailing missions,
And you're pretty much free to do what you want.
Visually, the game is gorgeous,
but the definite next gen aspect of this game
is the ridiculous, unnecessary amount of detail
put into this virtual, recreation of New York.
Seriously, this shit is stupid how much time It must have taken for them to put all this stuff in.
It makes for a game world that is pretty exciting to explore.
But hey.
Let's talk about the game.
The game sucks.
...If you play it by yourself.
The Division is absolutely a co-op shooter
It's meant to be played with a friend or two
And we've got to take every co-op game we get
Because there just aren't a whole lot of them out there.
Mostly you kite enemies around,
pick each other up from being downed,
set up support items,
You can suppress enemies to keep them from approaching you.
It's simple but it plays very naturally.
I played this game with my friends woaha and fluppy
and we would often go into the big missions at the entry level
a little under geared and the shit got intense.
Most of the time because Fluppy says he's a
gay vampire and then he runs into melee range of the bad guys with the sniper rifles.
We had moments where we kept dying and loosing over and over
Until something just clicks, ya know, and we just come together.
My only gripe with the story missions is a lack of bosses.
There are only sixteen missions but often times you'll keep seeing the same bosses recycled from older missions
just with more health and damage.
It's a pretty lame cop out.
So *clears throat*
You have exploration, you have the main story missions,
Then you have... The Dark Zone.
Which is the weird, experimental part of the game.
If you've ever played the multiplayer for Kane and Lynch one,
That's what this is, except even more broken somehow.
You work together with a big pack of random dudes to fight high level npcs for gear drops
Then you go back to the extraction site where you have the option to gun everyone else down and take all their shit for yourself.
Of course, that doesn't ever really work,
Because nothing in the dark zone really works at all.
You can either go into the dark zone as a group and troll people who are by themselves,
Or go in alone, and get trolled until you rage quit.
Oh my god here come some assholes.
Now that there's twenty seconds left on the helicopter, now they have to come over here.
WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING HE SPAWNS A BASEBALL BAT?
THAT'S NOT FAIR, THAT'S Not- god damn it.
Fuckin' piece of shit, Dark Zone!
It's a half baked mess of ideas that where never really thought out,
resulting in a hilariously, busted up, fuck-fest of trolling.
Should you buy the division?
Ehhhh...
Keep in mind, you can buy vanilla Destiny now for fifteen dollars,
And the one with all the expansions for 40.
Then, Division, which is the least complete game here, is 60 dollars.
I say wait a year for it to drop to twenty dollars,
That is a very suitable price for this game.
I give Division a three out of five.
I've been playing it sparingly since it's release,
but I'm still having fun with this game and I hope they continue to update it and add more stuff to do.
Tom Clancy man, you're crazy dude.
How you make all these games by yourself?
