Official Tom Clancy's The Division Thread [PS4, XB1, PC] 3/8

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I can't even get pass the first one mission. Trying to complete the activation and it doesn't even work

Same thing happened to me, line was packed with dudes trying to do the same thing. Looked like the DMV

I'm interested in seeing how long this game's PVP (Dark Zone) holds people's attention.

That's why I decided not to get it


The dark zone got boring as fukk in the beta

I can only troll and fukk with people for so long until I get bored

Aren't all games repetitive

But some do a great job masking it.

This review from Forbes summed it up entirely for me:
'The Division' Review, Day One: A Bit Of A Grind

Still, things often feel like a chore. I’m not thrilled with the controls, overall. I constantly find myself standing up or running out of cover when I don’t want to, and while I’ve managed to get that under control to some degree, it’s still a real pain. There’s enough enemy variety to keep encounters interesting enough, and the team has done an excellent job setting up these environments. It’s hard to tell what’s missing for me today, but the gameplay just isn’t yet satisfying enough to bring a joy to this grey world.

I went on a mission for the medical team just before I quit for the day: my team and I were all at the recommended level, but we find ourselves getting trounced by over-aggressive flamethrowers pretty much no matter what we tried. We stuck it out through a few wipes to the final boss, who had a habit of just blowing us to bits. So we found that if we just stayed at the entrance to the mission we could always return to absolute safety and unlimited ammo. So we stayed there, popping out, healing ourselves and slowly chipping away at a horde of elite enemies over the course of 20 minutes or so. Eventually, we won. Satisfying?

And that’s the game: even lower level enemies have a bullet spongey feel to them, and there’s a grindy quality to things. The gameplay is satisfying sometimes, but it’s not quite as fun as I’d like it to be, and so just cruising through a mission isn’t quite a joy .

However, I am more of a casual gamer myself.

I know I played ffxi for 10 years.. I play destiny.. Ffxi was great and destiny is good.. PVP saved destiny for me. I realized the pve content got old fast but I still enjoyed the game.

Now this is what I'm talking about.

To me, that was a perfect game. Especially the first 3 years of it's release.

There was a grind and repetitive element to go 1-75, but the team work involved and the dynamics (picking camp spots, dealing with pulled links, an assortment of jobs that were all different, fighting for claim on notorious monsters, etc.) made the fights seem so much fun. You'd spend hours with a group of 5 other cats and the mass majority of the time it didn't seem like a drag at all.

I mean come on, the game had a 2 hour cool down on abilities meaning you had to pick your spots at the right time to use it. If that's not strategy, I don't know what is.

That's what made the grind so much more satisfying. The learning curve was always constant since your job was always picking up new abilities. Haven't found another game like it.

Just how I feel

Yeah I agree I'm on that mission with the bullet sponge flame throwers shyt annoying having to stay on the stairs and shoot at the enemies for a long time. The controls are trash too. I don't see myself this much I'm wait until I'm level 15 and decide if I'm taking the L and returning back to game stop

I went again myself and bought this since i've had the flu all week and wanted something new to occupy me. Just felt up to loading it today...3GB update but with this gen I shouldn't even be surprised.

I'm not seeing great reviews anywhere so I already feel like I wasted $60. But then again i was considering adding a X1 to the collection but their recent studio closings are going to make me hold off on that.

So it's not worth it?

Nah my niqqa this Destiny 2.0 with all the grinding and bullet sponge galore. All the weapons feel the same. No story really all the gameplay is you get cover and shoot. Rinse and repeat that shyt the whole game. Idk you might like these type of game a puesdo RPG 3rd person shooter loot based grinder game. The control are awkward and janky af.

I thank God I don't pay for games in full. I probably wont be playing this in a week let alone a month later.

So it's better than Destiny

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Yeah because it's 3rd shooter with emphasizes cover so all the movement is center around that. Which make movement janky. I only called it Destiny 2.0 because of the gameplay with the Bullet Sponges and being a loot base game not the controls because Destiny got goat controls

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Nah not I like the way Destiny feel better. Like the controls and smooth gameplay is what make Destiny is good to me. I'm talking as far as the concept of the game you in a fireteam doing mission, it's loot based, all the missions are the same you move from A to B killing enemies until you reach the boss and kill him mission complete. That's just my opinion on PvE I didn't get into the PvP side of the game yet

 

[Hood Critic]

Damn nothing carries over from the Beta?
