The Division 2 Open Beta Confirmed

In a livestream earlier today, Ubisoft developers confirmed that there will be a The Division 2 open beta!

monkey6022316d ago

I got a VIP code, Downloaded the demo and never once played it over the weekend. Apex just took all interest away from it

excaliburps2316d ago

It's good if you liked the first one, which I did. It has more of everything. That said, if you didn't like the first one, I don't see this changing your mind.

monkey6022316d ago

I thought the first was okay! I'll try make more of an effort in the open beta and see what it's like. The game really isn't on my radar at the moment anyway.

PapaBop2316d ago

Pretty much my conclusion. It takes what it did in the first and improves on it a lot. I loved the first and loving this one even more but for those who didn't warm to the original's gameplay, won't like the sequel either.

DillyDilly2316d ago

Me nephew played it & while he liked the first one he thought this was exactly like the first one & sees no reason to buy it

mark_parch2316d ago

me and a friend really enjoyed the first game and after playing the beta I think its more of the same with slightly more content, varied missions and varied locations. Did anybody else have any major bugs, I had serious problems with sound effects. At one point I lost all gun sounds and had to reboot the game. had a lot of texture pop in as well.

BadElf2316d ago

My favorite character from the first one was the Snow. And New York....

I hope they will be able to update the game to add snow again...atleast a seasonal thing or somthing..

You did not miss out on anything.

Division 2 feels like an expansion with a more boring setting.

Specter2292316d ago

I feel the same way. If I do pick it up it'll be from a sale.

iNcRiMiNaTi2316d ago

Yeah the dark zone felt disappointing and it was the mode I was looking forward to the most. It felt like the only time people engaged was when people were extracting and they'd try and steal the loot whereas the first game's beta people were fighting left and right

Elda2316d ago

More like the first which I enjoyed playing over the weekend. Hopefully an open beta is released until the original full game drops.A day one buy when released.

BadElf2316d ago

I hope the private beta build was well away from final build. Sloppy. Characters looked like Far Cry AI.

rpvenom2316d ago

Yeah.. I wasn't that impressed.. It may be more fun to play this game with friends but honestly to me.. I felt like I was playing an expansion of the first.. not a proper sequel.. but maybe that's not a fair judgement since you only get to level up very few things..

BadElf2316d ago

Yeah, exactly. I liked the game in general..it was pretty much what I expected. But compared to how great the first game looked...this was a big dissapointment. I know...I know...its a beta, but we gotta be honest...they dont usually change that much

rdgneoz32316d ago

Yah. Felt like Division 1.5 than 2. You had 2 factions that were basically LMB (True Sons and Black Tusk, with BT having robots), hyenas being rikers with a new skin, shotgunners nailing you from 40, and grenade launcher spam (without a ring indicator) and drone spam. The world looked nice besides the texture loading issues and had a lot to do, and hopefully there's reason to run around in the LZ at endgame, as D1 became legendary mode or DZ for good loot.

Larrysweet2316d ago

No confirmation as of yet he may misspoke etc

Traecy2316d ago

Had fun playing over the weekend!! Hoping there's an open beta to play again.I'm definitely buying TD2 as soon as it's released.

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_Mal1992d 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"

Kingthrash3602153d 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.

JackBNimble2152d ago

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

-Foxtrot2153d ago (Edited 2153d 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.

ApocalypseShadow2153d ago (Edited 2153d ago )

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

Attempt to patch it for offline but failed

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.

Zjet2152d 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.
