The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Just finished the entire story, all side missions and found all the collectibles. 100% overall completion. Boss fight was actually easy at the end despite playing on hard and solo. Died only once because of a crappy minor enemy from behind with a shotgun. Saw the "end game" tutorial and I didn't even know that there was a special gear vendor in the Tech wing of the BOO. He sells some pretty decent inexpensive stuff including blueprints for various weapons. Thought about replaying missions to get the Phoenix Credits but meh, game is done for me so no point. Overall, Ubisoft has given me three games that all hit my 9/10 including The Division, Far Cry Primal and AC Syndicate. Will be trading it in next week but will definitely pick up the game again once the first two expansions get released on PS4 which is 30 days after the Xbox One release. Do like the fact that the game saves online so I don't have to worry about erasing the game save and having to start over. In a few months, I can pick up right where I left off.

Visually, game looks great and the music and sound is excellent. Voice acting isn't great but not bad either. Story and characters are decent at best. It's all about the gameplay, cover system and the awesome shootouts. Add in the high difficulty and you have an excellent, challenging and fun game. And this is just me playing solo.

Definitely worth buying and playing through at least once in my opinion. Love the shoot outs!!! They never get old, dull or boring. And the story missions were all damn good and better than what I was expecting. Ending was disappointing but expected since the game is meant to be played for months and years to come.

Enjoyed my 110+ hours with the game and look forward to playing again later this summer.

Curios to know why you'd trade it in, only to re-purchase later on?

Maybe he has some sort of system where he gets rewards and financially it makes sense?

I'm still enjoying the game, but when OSFM drops I can see my Division time drastically decrease.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

So you're dumping the game before the first incursion on the 12th?

Yeah man its only gonna get better. If you only played it on single player I suggest you play multiplayer it's a whole different world

The incursion can only be played with three other players and can't be played solo. If im wrong, correct me but reading the details about the stream, it sounds like there's no other way to play it. The daily/weekly assignments are a wait and see for me. If it's just replaying the same story missions, then no thanks as I don't do that now.

Sure you guys know I don't play online and im not paying for PS+ to do so. In the Beta, the Dark Zone looked awesome but otherwise, I had no interest in it whatsoever. Unless the trade value drops, I'll get back $33 on Tuesday when I trade it in.

I also will have Quantum Break for at least a week. Later on, chances are there will be a sale on the game and the season pass by the time the first two expansions get released this summer. At worse, I would spend a few dollars for the sales tax which isn't a big deal.

Short term, after QB, I have Uncharted 4 and barring a delay, Homefront: The Revolution and my goal is not to have to spend any money until the fall games hit. If the trade value drops on The Division in the summer which it obviously will, it won't matter because I would be buying it again for the season pass but right now, it's just going to sit there and collect dust.

Also, I want to read the impressions from those here and other sites/forums in regards to the incursions as well as the monthly DLC drops including the two expansion pass DLC's before diving in.

I will probably be on later tonight if anyone wants to hit up the dark zone and rank up. Currently at 40 and want to try to get to 50 since next week I might not get a whole lot of time to play.

That's like saying "yeah if I didn't have sex with Pamela Anderson our relationship would have been so over.." LoL

Anyone having issues unlocking the Marathon achievement? It shows I'm at 100%, all 13 safe house are found, but it's not unlocking.

Getting to the point that the lack of high end division tech is starting to ruin the fun of the game. Have all these blue prints I worked to get to level 50 in the DZ to acquire and now, because of an artificial RNG bases barrier can't even craft them.

This more than anything would be the reason I dump this game. Every other consumable can be crafted from lesser level gear except that one. I'm not even angry or mad, just matter of fact about it. HE Division tech is a grind that takes the fun out of the game for me.

I agree with all of this.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I guess that's what the daily bounties are suppose to fix. I heard they give Phoenix credits and division tech on completion.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

It's still going to suck because of the way crafting is, unless you get lucky you are going to need dozens of tries before you get a good roll. Hell, it rains the other yellow crafting materials yet I still run out of stuff (tools especially) constantly.

[kingkilla56]

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I don't have a problem with having to craft many guns to get the perfect roll you like. Having the ability to craft in the first place is far and ahead of many other loot based shooters out now. Also, massive isnt forcing you to bother with the crafting nonstop meta. But if you want in, you're gonna have to farm the game. Those are the breaks.

That said, DT nodes in the dz are outrageously too limited right now. I've lost a lot of drive to play the game because of this too (but mostly because overall lack of endgame).

If these daily bounties give say 9 yellow DT a day, I'd be very satisfied. But I hope some of those bounties involve rouge behavior in some way. "Extract 5 items previously held by other agents" that could be fun.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Another good night with Birdman. Sprinted though Lexington hard daily, teamed up with two random through matchmaking for a 10 minute speed run through the General Assembly hard daily and then the four of us actually all stayed together and moved over and took on the Warren Gate challenging daily.

For the most part, we didn't have too much trouble, until we hit the end. First attempt at the end, we got through to the boss wave without much issue, then got destroyed by the three Guards with the boss. Then for some reason we kept getting clobbered over and over by the third wave with all the shotgun rushers. No matter what we did, ran back to the previous room, flashbang the hell out of them, pop tactical and defense links, we just kept getting dropped one by one.

Finally we remembered what we did the first time that worked. Instead of falling back and letting the shotgun rushers come to us, we instead targeted them at the doors their came out of, stopped them in their tracks and much more easily dispatched them. Then after getting our tactical and defense links restored, we went into the final way with the distinct plan of popping tactical link, using flashbangs and all targeting a single Guard at a time to drop them fast.

That is one thing this game definitely has going for it. You really have to plan and strategize on challenging missions as the game is unforgiving for the unprepared.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

And I daresay, I think some or maybe even most of the Call of Duty kids have moved on from this game. Had another great night with matchmaking. Ran General Assembly once before teaming up with Birdman, did matchmaking and get three good guys. Then after teaming up Birdman, got those two guys that we ran with for General Assembly and Warren Gate.

Two solid guys, talked the entire time, were very level headed, sounded maybe late 20s and even said before Warren Gate they were glad to find people who don't rage quit in the middle of Challenging missions and are willing to stick it out to the end regardless of how difficult or long. Ended up all of us adding each other as friends for future sessions in The Division.

So you can definitely run into some good people as randoms in this game.
