More people registered for The Division 2 beta than any other game in Ubisoft history

From VG247: "Ubisoft is gauging interest in The Division 2 not through pre-orders, but by monitoring interest in the game’s beta.

In a call to investors announcing the Q1-2019 fiscal results, CEO Yves Guillemot talked a little bit about the reception The Division 2 has had so far following its big showing at E3 2018."

Because people dont want to get screwed over this time so ita a try before buy situation its not because the Divison was that good of a game.

Fishy Fingers2530d ago

I enjoyed it.

Got repetitive as s*** like any online game but I felt I easily got my moneys worth before I was tired of it and they added some decent content. “Screwed over”? drama queen, the last game had an open beta.

Kokyu2530d ago

I would say you in a minority, I did not and neither did anyone in my clan or circles I run in. We played from the start and it was a very unbalanced and problematic game. To their credit it got better and I went back and played it somemore and I enjoyed as did some of my clan did but the game was highly flawed and was a low value to most people in my circles.

Kosic2530d ago (Edited 2530d ago )

Exactly. But the previous beta for d1 was only a few levels. Can't really tell what end games gonna be like with a level cap in the beta.

I doubt I'd buy d2 anyways, found the first boring after a week or so.

I can't imagine even wasting 1 minute on this trash. It's comical that this pile of **** is even being given any consideration whatsoever, given the first game, and the comically bad reputation this garbage company has, of delivering uninspired crap in everything they develop.

Oh, and shove your "live service", up your ***.

starchild2530d ago (Edited 2530d ago )

A tiny minority of overly dramatic people like you are the only ones that share your extremist view. I've enjoyed a lot of games from Ubisoft.

So, tell me, which games aren't trash to you?

Blood & Truth his number one game. Nice pick. One of the best VR games ever made. Basically Uncharted in VR with British gangster skin.

Abnor_Mal1999d ago

Blood &Truth was the truth. Well written story of London underground shady characters. Lots of action that made the game play out like a summer blockbuster movie. The shooting was memorable with only one hiccup on the elevator trying to target while behind cover was a bit troubling. Will play though it again on the new hard mode and also try to use the Aim controller for the shooting gallery. Such a great game and can understand why it was picked as the authors game of the year.

The Division 2: Episode 1 D.C. Outskirts Review - Parallax Media

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 had a strong start to the year, and while it wasn’t perfect, it still proved itself to be leagues better than the original game’s release back in 2016. Ubisoft has hopes to continue the upward trend with the latest release of free DLC, Episode 1 – D.C. Outskirts.

2 new dungeons (which look amazing), expeditions, and new loot / quality of life stuff (including making skill builds usable) for free, is mediocre?

Do “Online-only” Games Need an “Offline” Mode

Should companies start planning for a game's shutdown ahead of time? Would offline spin-offs or patches that let people play something unplugged be wise for the future?

Then they wouldn't be "Online Only"

Kingthrash3602159d ago

Why just flat out no? I mean what would it hurt to have some kind of offline mode so you can still use the product you paid for if their server goes down or the internet goes down or you just want to play alone and relax?

Online only just means it has an expiration date.

JackBNimble2159d ago

What's the problem with offline mode ?
I don't see why this can't be an option.

-Foxtrot2160d ago (Edited 2160d ago )

By that meaning a game like Monster Hunter World or The Division which allow you to play by yourself but require you to be constantly online where you can't even pause the game?

Then yes...yes they do.

If you are playing by yourself, are in a private session with no other players and you aren't playing with friends or are in a party then there's no need to be constantly online.

ApocalypseShadow2160d ago (Edited 2160d ago )

I Didn't buy it but here's a perfect example: Starblood Arena

Goes offline tomorrow.

The developer should have had single player with optional multi player from day one. When you make a game online only, that cuts out a large group of buyers. When the servers go down or other online gamers move on to something new, you can no longer play. Also, single player games with online connection is also wrong. There's no need for DRM.

When you buy a game, you should be able to play it when you spent money on it. At least have Bots as an option.

I know the intent is to make an online game. Or, the developer doesn't have funds to do both. But when some developers who have less money can do both, it looks like a cash grab of micro transactions with no trade in value or something you can't lend to a friend.

I mostly play single player anyway. But I did buy Firewall Zero Hour used for $17.99 because it looks great and is awesome with the AIM controller after the free weekend demo. I refused to buy it new because of what it is. It's online only with barely no single player options except for training missions. And only **ONE** mode for online. ONE. No story, no hostage saving, no PvP free for all, no capture the flag,etc. And the developer seems fine with not adding any other modes but more micro transactions. Which is sad. So I only play the training missions which is like horde mode until the game goes offline. Then it's unplayable because it requires an online connection. Single player option with Bots not requiring online should be a must for any game you buy.

Zjet2159d ago

Yes.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint being online only is an absolute stupid decision.

Anthem could be rediscovered and preserved if it had offline single player support, but now it will most likely shutdown and die and be lost to history forever.

Etc etc

Media preservation is becoming more of an issue these days but the new age consumers are being told to treat services like goods and pay for them not to own but rent.
