"The Division feels like a Frankenstein of a bunch of different borrowed ideas from other popular games. It controls like many other popular third-person shooters but has RPG-like character customization and abilities. Sprinkle in some MMO-like open world mechanics and you have quite the stew."
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.
Is this going to be like Destiny where there's sort of a story there for the solo players, or is this purely just a multiplayer affair?
This is 100% MP on big scale.
Does anyone actually know if the game moves to a fps style when you ads, so you can actually use the sights on the guns? Kinda how all the old ghost recons were, or even the new ghost recon is like that. I had always hoped this would be that way as well, but I've watched all the e3 vids and not once did someone actually use the sights and ads.
Too early to tell if it works? This things been delayed longer than a nerd losing his virginity. At what point in time will we know if the concept works? After its out... what a load of crap.
I was super excited for this game when it first showed but now im losing all interest in it the more i hear about it the less information i feel is actually given. Not to mention the delays.
