Though a marvel in some ways, The Division left me deflated 3
The Division is a game which hooked me early, and hooked me hard. Its fantastic sense of place, attention to detail in its world, and general vibe was very appealing. I played through a fair number of story missions solo, and as I progressed further, decided to try some matchmaking - the experience was fantastic. No noticeable latency, well-tuned AI, players being able to use skills which synergized in a satisfying way, et cetera. Once my friends had some free time, we teamed up and hit the Dar...

Disaster Control 0
It would not surprise me to learn that if the world were to be conquered by a malevolent AI, that at some point it was the power behind Ubisoft. How they remain so successful in spite of treating video game development like battery farming, how their armies of drones create so many games to the same overarching, focus-tested schematic is just too cold and calculating to be the work genuine human beings. I certainly got no sense from playing The Division that it was made by people who had a passi...

Gears of Diablo 2
People like loot games. I get it. I'd be a liar if I said I don't enjoy them after putting many hours into games such as Monster Hunter 4 and Diablos 1-3. These games forego all pretense of telling a cohesive story and world building in exchange for the ability to see numbers go up on those new pair of pants you spent hours grinding for. These games are quintessentially comfort food. You play it and enjoy it immensely, but the experience probably wasn't healthy. But let's face it, most games s...

The Division was fun 0
65 hours playedLevel 30 The Division is very Destiny-like. It is a third-person shooter with MMO and RPG-lite qualities. Set in Manhatten NY after a biological terrorist attack. You are a Division agent sent in to help the locals and restore order from the groups that have taken over. Pros * Real world setting is cool. I caught myself looking for areas I visited in real life to see how they looked in game. It is also seemless to move between areas and into buildings etc with no loading unless yo...

Black Friday Gone Wild 0
When the closed beta dropped for Tom Clancy's The Division, I was a little less than thrilled with the product. The missions felt flat and while I knew the enemies were bullet sponges, I wasn't expecting the amount of bullets it would take to take down a single enemy on hard. There's been several games I've enjoyed over the years with damage absorbing enemies including Destiny and Borderlands. But I guess when you see an enemy with nothing but a hoodie taking a shotgun blast to the face and not ...

Finding Fun In Repetition (The Division Review) 0
Ubisoft Massive first showed off The Division during Ubisoft's E3 press conference in 2013 and after two delays, released the game three years later in early 2016. Massive was not the only developer on this title as more and more developers were added to this enormous project over the years. These developers included Ubisoft Reflections, Red Storm Entertainment, and Ubisoft Annecy. The point of this is that with this many developers working on the game, people began to expect massive (pun intend...

It's a mix of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Destiny. 0
"Tom Clancy's The Division" is Ubi Soft's own version of the loot shooter. This means the game lacks the reality-based feel of past Clancy titles . Or at least when it comes to the gameplay. The actual premise is somewhat believable; Manhattan becomes the "hot zone" of an outbreak due to a deadly virus spread through dollar bills. As the game begins, the player steps into the shoes of a nameless U.S. government agent who is called to duty. Their goal is to re-establish the operations of the Div...
