The Division 2 World Is Much More Replayable at Endgame; Raids Have Been Worked on for a Long Time

According to Ubisoft Massive, the world of The Division 2 is much more replayable at endgame compared to the first game. They've been working on the new raids for a long time.

This is what interests me the most. I already know the darkzone will be good. I just want the pve endgame to be great too. They did mention 8 player raids several times in interviews and I hope that pans out.

Why do you know the Darkzone will be good?

The Darkzone was a huge blemish on Division 1. I don't think they ever sorted it out completely. I know that after a year and half it still wasn't working in any satisfactory way.

To be fair I haven't read much about Division 2 so this is an honest question. Have they said what they are changing or doing to make it any better?

414gamer2327d ago

The darkzone was by far the most replayable part of the game. Coming from someone who put easily over 30 days play time into the game.

kneon2327d ago

"I already know the darkzone will be good"

Did it change drastically after the first few months because as I recall it was terrible.

CorndogBurglar2327d ago

Maybe after a year or so after launch the Darkzone became good, but I remember it being a broken mess for a very long time. Everything from the awards you got to not being able to compete with people of a higher level. It was a disaster for a very long time. It was basically the main thing that people were complaining about for the entire 1st year of the game being released.

wolf5812328d ago

Shit I have time for only one of this kind of game (grind,loot,dungeons,raids etc)
So which shall I buy anrhem or division...
Mark that I like the style of both...
Final question which will be best as a game?
I have tried the anthem demo and I think division has a better chance because Ubisoft had much more time...

Chaosdreams2328d ago

In terms of content, the Division 2 would be the option of the two I'd suggest you invest in. The developers learned from the first Division, whereas Anthem is going to be Bioware testing the water.

PapaBop2327d ago

+1

Bioware are making the exact same mistake Ubi made with the original The Division at launch. Ubi learned from their mistakes and Division right now is in a pretty good place. Seems like Ubi have taken the current state of Division, improved and expanded on that further with Division 2, if you're looking for a proper loot based game to sink your teeth into, Division 2 will likely be your best choice.

Michiel19892328d ago

just wait untill they are both released for a month+ see how the content is and if bugs etc get fixed.

414gamer2327d ago (Edited 2327d ago )

Ubisoft isn’t running things, massive is. And I would definitely say massive will put more effort into this game being good than EA(BioWare) will put into anthem.
Massive was still giving out division updates down to last month

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo21h ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac20h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo10h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT6h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr6h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas1h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Vits15h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos4h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS16h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran81d 16h ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

PrecursorOrb1d 1h ago

Kojima states the obvious lol

mastershredder23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake23h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

__y2jb20h ago

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.
