The Division 2 Review - Variety

For Ubisoft, “The Division 2” is but a checkmark to compete against names like Activision’s “Destiny” or EA’s “Anthem.” Ubisoft cares not for the Clancy name (aside from market value), and although the author’s unflinching devotion to military intervention posed an issue, at least he established an identity. “The Division 2” represents the hyper-blandness of Tucker Carlson, a generic white guy spouting about how everyone hates you, making things great for themselves, and finding the absolutist solution to fix it all. With guns, primarily.

A 4 out of 10?? This has to be an early April fools joke! LMAO!! The game is so fun!

[RpgSama]

"hyper-blandness of Tucker Carlson, a generic white guy"

That's all you need to know from the interview to "understand" the score

[Nineball2112]

Yeah, I saw that and immediately knew to ignore the rest.

[RememberThe357]

WTF does that dip shit have to do with this game? This writers self righteousness is revolting, an other anti-white hypocrite.

[bluefox755]

When a reviewer is such an ideologue that they have to attack their political opposition in a video game review, you know you can safely dismiss their opinion.

[extermin8or]

erm you design your own character anyway?

[Gaming101]

Don't forget, he's also anti-gun, apparently the only way to win in this game is to use guns which in the uber liberal elite, latte-sipping, vegetable juicing, cuck world this guy is living in is a big no no.
We don't need war or violence, couldn't you have sat down and talked things out instead in this game? And why couldn't there be more black people shooting their white oppressors like what Black Lives Matter fantasizes about? Better yet dress your enemies up on police uniforms and make them white supremacists who you must save unarmed black children from being shot by them, with Jesse Jackson as your comrade.

They think the game is promoting Tucker Carlson, pro gun laws, and the white male agenda... It's a sh!t "review".... This person probably thinks in an apocalyptic like world where people are running around with chain saws and gattling guns, a flower will save you. Also, they problably never noticed you could make female characters or someone of color in the character select screen (let alone 4 out of 8 people you recruit to your base are female and ~4 [plus the one ones running the bases and camps] are minorities as well). They also never got the idea of a game where you level up and get better gear or mobs take more than 1 shot to the head to kill...

Just reaching for attention with this review. Boo this man!

[Old McGroin]

I was saying Boo-urns.

"“The Division 2” represents the hyper-blandness of Tucker Carlson, a generic white guy spouting about how everyone hates you, making things great for themselves, and finding the absolutist solution to fix it all. With guns, primarily."

Wow, sounds like this was written by Manveer Heir himself.

Gaming has become so highly politicized--with so many political agendas, biases for and against certain platforms or companies, and various other axes to grind--that you just can't take reviews seriously these days.

[Vegamyster]

They should fight those rabid thugs on drugs with hugs instead, what could go wrong lol.

[Dirtnapstor]

I couldn't even finish the article... it's not a review of the game, it's a review of the political agendas that violate the flaming liberal mindset within the game. A hit piece entirely. Ridiculous.
The Division 2 is fantastic in all respects. Cardiac arrest incoming for Matt when Doom Eternal releases!

[MIDNIITE_Z3RO]

I'm not even clicking on this. You serious? A 4 out of 10? I've put in almost 40hrs already in this game and there's still so much to do and learn. Combat is great, skills are cool, level design is a 10/10. I haven't tried PVP, but I enjoyed it in beta. The only bad thing about this game is bugs. Which they've ironed out so many already in just the first week, with a patch incoming that'll fix a large portion of the remaining bugs. At the very least, this game deserves a 7 out of 10. But I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. I'm interested to see how the final world tier is, though.

[KingOfArcadia]

So, let's see if I've got this straight - yesterday, this game was absolute shit because there's a pride flag in it but today, it's super awesome again because the reviewer might be liberal and gave the game a bad score.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Quit making crap up

[EddieNX]

It's awesome so far me, shove this review.up your arse

[Kumakai]

BS. This is a minority review but a factor of... a lot.

[Fritzwochel]

This ain't a review. It's a joke.

[Evolve]

I am not even going to bother myself reading this "review".

[Kabaneri]

Junk articles like this should not be allowed on metacritic.

[VileAndVicious]

No way this game is a 4 out of 10

[mogwaii]

Man that pathetic pervasive white guilt bullshit
"a generic white guy spouting about how everyone hates you"....replace white with black and watch the outrage.

[ger2396]

Variety, never miss an opportunity to interject your political views in a game review.

[TheGoodestBoi]

I'm curious to see if this twat actually critiqued anything in the game to warrant a score of 4 other than the protag's whiteness but I really don't want to generate revenue through clicks for it

[Nexus530]

Another pile of nonsense. Go boil your head

[FloydianAndroid]

The division 2 is about a million times better than anthem and destiny imo

[Mylove1516]

No way in hell is this game a 4/10. Click bait at its finest. I know people are entitled to an opinion but that does not make it right.

I haven't finished the game but so far I would give an 8.0/8.5 score.

If you can get a solid team going, it is a very fun game and easily outclasses destiny 2 and anthem IMO.

[VerminSC]

So stupid. I have no interest in this game and even I know it’s not a 4/10.

[GameBoyColor]

This should not have passed. It's clearly agenda biased lmaoooo

[conanlifts]

4/10 is basically unplayable. I wish we could have an authentiction system so that those reviewing games needed a minimum level of experience/ qualifications. Division 2 might not be everyones game, but if reviewed impartially based on its game type and genre it is very good. Also any reviews that have snippets of racism should be removed from this site. There should be zero tolerance for hate, political agendas and racism on this site.

[StormSailor]

The best The Division 2 review

(Sarcasm alert)

[Brash]

This writer sounds like he has a problem with games...

[Samus707]

This is an ASTOUNDING “review”. “I’m so proud of this community” for boosting it to reveal its absurdity to all of us. The Left are losing their minds. This is insane.

[FPS_D3TH]

Lmfao trash sjw political reviews. I’m not even going to click.

[GameStallion]

I stopped reading and felt slight annoyance and discust at, “generic white guy.” This article is written by a generic SJW.

[Manubiggs]

Variety does game reviews? Who goes to Variety to be informed about games?
