Pure PlayStation: The Division was certainly falsely advertised at some key pre-release moments. It had legitimate problems. But past those issues was an enjoyable third-person shooter romp.
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
If you're looking to try out an exciting, team-based shoot 'em up, The Division is currently on sale on Steam!
TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
I only bought the division last year. Played it with friends and thought it was decent. Not sure how it was at launch. But I didn't have an issue with it. Got my money's worth out of it. Loads of improvements can be made for The Division 2 though.
At launch there wasn't much content to keep people hooked, the next couple updates killed the only end game activity (crafting) in favor of a heavy grind with no sense of reward, never mind all the bugs. I have to give Massive credit for sticking with the game and fixing all these problems though, the game mechanically/content wise is night & day better. It's a shame it couldn't have been like this at launch but hopefully this leads to the 2nd game launching without all those problems and keeps the player base hooked for longer.
I got it at launch and it was a decent game for a week or 2, after that it got stale fast and I moved on. Never tried it after any of the updates though so it may very well have more depth to it now.
Amazing game cant wait for the second one..not for COD heads
I enjoyed The Division when leveling and doing some of the end game 4 player content, but at time grew on. The gear became boring to farm and everything lead back to the Dark Zone.
If they made the game a little crazier on loot, skills and had dedicated classes/specs, it would've been a better RPG.
I didn't enjoy farming a set to find out the game play didn't change at all, or the set was lack luster.
I would like to see a healing class with hybrid dps spec, a tank class with a hybrid dps spec and a full dps class with close to mid range talents and mid to long range talents.
