+Charles Pierson They try and make a game that they think will be bought by the widest spectrum of people, but at the same time they make a game that is not great for anybody. Well not as great as it should have been.
The first reveal showed us a game with a more realistic TTK, while the dark zone implied a squad based shooter with both PvP and PvE elements. Since then we have found out that the TTK has been greatly increased, there is no real ADS, no freelook and the rogue system (which is there to cater for players who have not played games such as DayZ). From everything I have watched since they first announced the game, I feel that they have changed the games direction to sell more copies. Now dont get me wrong, I understand why they have done this - I would have just preferred something else. And hopefully these elements will be introduced in some way at a later date. I would like to see full ADS at the very least. I spent more time on the beta than I care to admit to, and I am very much looking forward to the game going live. I just didnt want you thinking I was hating on the game - merely giving my opinion on what would have made it better for me and the group I play with.
+Rickvsnewworldorder I hated the game the first couple of days of the beta we were going head to head with the rogues. But the last day was quite pleasant and progressive since most of the players in DZ cooperated and in turns ranked up and got tons of loot.
Most players find equal level enemies are more than enough challenge until you get to 30 😅 I constantly stayed 2-3 levels over the enemies to make it smoother
it's about trust. Thanks to how you show us that you like to show other people first, that means only one thing I will never trust anyone in PVP except my close friends. But I will still keep my "don't shoot first" policy
I feel like this game was made at my request! It has everything I've ever wanted in an open world game. -Post apocalyptic setting -Third person -PVP -Rated M -Good Story -Terrific Graphics -Pretty much bug free -Customization -No pay to play or Micro transactions -trading between players (upcoming update) -Multiple DLC -Call me a fan boy
Dude I know this is a six-year-old post but seriously no the division was bug like a motherfucker and it still has some of the same bugs today that it was published with when it came out in death Valley is Ada play it’s not a free to play a game you can you buy it you play it on a DLC comes out you buy it you play it definitely has a cash app both internal and X ternal he although I don’t think I did at the time you’re talking but it definitely has macro transaction snap micro because there’s no such thing and now PC or console base video games micro transactions are in mobile games but it definitely has a cash app and it when we even before and had cash app it did in fact have external transactions where you can buy bundles in gear and load so I’m not sure what you mean by all that other now Boston what you said is true and it’s a fairly decent actually it’s a one of a kind and the time it was a one of a kind shooter there wasn’t anything else like it Nolensville Benny thing exactly like it even today but back then it was innovative route me to each of the criteria u specified even back back
I mean the dark zone is pretty fair to be honest. don't know how to explain it but it's like "don't fuck with me, I don't fuck with you" and there is an unspoken law in the dark zone, like this one time I was getting fucked over by a bunch of NPC's and a group of guys came to help me out, and during that fight I accidentally crossed their line of fire and they shot me which turned them rogue, but it didn't make a fuss or try to fight (mostly I would have been fucked). the experience is up to you, play how you want, just pick your battles
Having played mainly Rogue in WoW I had a BLAST terrorizing the PvP zones in the game. Honestly, the salt of these people is just going to be the icing on the cake for me. Be it in this game, or any other PvP-enabled title.
Solo play isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I played solo for a while in the closed and open beta and was able to hold my own against other full squads of 4. I had to use tactical retreats and take them out one by one, but still it's possible if you know what you're doing and choose the right gear and skills for solo play.
+SH4RKTEETH Exactly, if you actually have skill and have a good brain you can easily take on a gang of people. I killed 3 guys by myself towards the end of the beta just because I was a better player then them and had better gear.
Jelly And miss a bunch of the game content? No thanks. Also, it is not meant for friends only. Ubisoft never advertised the dark zone as a co-op experience, but at this point it was impossible to go rogue and survive on something like manhunt alone. The more people you have, the higher chances you have to win. Thats just horribly broken right now, as groups of 12+- people could just lock one dark zone down and nobody would get to play unless they quit.
Thank God I'm not the only one who can expect to survive a 1v4...i do it all the time... I enjoy it too... You have to be tactical... Use your opponents supposed strengths and your weaknesses against them, they'll almost always try to bum rush you because of their numbers, bombard them while they're just running straight at you... Back up,wait till the advantage is yours again... It's just you've got to think... And on the fairness scale, I'm glad it's not fair, gear isn't normalized, it makes getting better gear matter, it makes encounters not seem dull knowing I have all high-end gear and it's normalized to standard... Might as well just slap on my worn gear for the LoLs and keep my high end gear for PvE... Also, I'm glad that you can get shot in the back and just different circumstances and encounters...Examples of me getting turned on xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15028321 xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15090713 It isn't all that dark and dangerous though... Everybody had mics and we all made one big pack in the DZ xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15028688 There's tons of things that can happen in the DZ... It's going to be my most favorite part of the game... And also, force gaming mentioned there wouldn't be any monstrosities or big enemies... If you checked out the legend in the map, it listed the enemie types... One was listed as a Mech... I could be right or could be wrong... Anyways just wanted to get that out there, solo play is possible... Although even if a buddy of mine is across the DZ and your in a group it's basically solo... So expect to be alone from time to time
Hell yeah! Doesn't have to look fair(the PvP) it is fair because who puts more dedication in the game should have better loot while a newbie like me a month ago needs to GIT GUD BITCJ!
‘There’s no indication that we’re gonna be fighting any vehicle bosses’ *the cleaners get a damn flame thrower truck* the last man battalion’s leader in his helicopter* the LMB with an APC* the cleaner
I don't really play games much just thought this game looked cool. I hated it at first too so much because I sucked bad. There is a lot to it.. leveling up, gear, stamina, dps, etc. It was actually VERY rewarding once I got good! I'm at level 21 now going solo and doin alright. My main learning lesson was.. make sure to cover and snipe. You have to be methodical, not just go in like Rambo and try to get everyone. Also pay attention to your gear, weapon mods, health perks and talents. It gets fun. It's like playing a movie!
To be honest, I don't think I have ever seen a "fair" PvP game environment in an MMO. Games like FFXIV and Guild Wars 2 also have similar issues to those you mentioned in PVP.
I just wanted to make sure that I can play solo to get use to the mechanics then jump into friend squad based gameplay. I am glad this is in the game and will allow players like myself who like to take time to learn the game.
Thanks for your excellent breakdown and introduction to The Division, a battlefield training program, in the public domain. A further experiment on social interaction, and potential societal end game scenario. I personally prefer to play the ai only.
+Ertas Rama fuck yes i got to lvl 8 and got a few purples and i played 3 days straight for the open beta....the game goes to lvl 30 and you start off in the beta at lvl 4, then you need to get the best gear and spec that gear out with the best mods and perks....even with a laxed end game there is a good 2 to 3 months of content, then once you have fully smashed out and gotten full geared you can go fuck people up in the dark zone. so yes this will last you months..not just a "weekend"
+Logan ShadowHeart Then you realize that we all thought that about destiny. "Wow, level 30. There's going to be so much content for months for me to play." The we realize it only lasts about 30 hours of play time.
Just bought this game. Can't wait. This is MY kind of game. Modern military RPG where you aren't fighting stupid aliens or mutants or zombies? Yes, please. I typically hate RPG's. The only other RPG I've ever really liked was Diablo 3. Never could get in to Skyrim or Fallout or anything like that. So The Division is right up my alley.
The AI though was really well done, I found that fighting through the missions that the AI acted, for the most part, in a very realistic manor and at times it was overwhelming when suddenly as you reload, a charger is coming at you, or that his buddy had flanked you. They did not mess around when creating the AI.
In regards to number 5, the bosses in the actual release are challenging. The first few are as described, where you can stand there and shot them from afar, but when you are up against flame throwing cleaners who constantly advance on your position, knowing where to back pedal to to steer clear of the flame is a challenge... One mission I pretty much had to back pedal all the way to the start of the mission during the boss fight... He kept advancing and throwing nades... So far the game is pretty fun to play and I have spent very little time in the dark zone. Soloing my way to my current level 18. I will prolly start in on the dark zone once I hit lvl 20.
Thank you for this video! I think you answered my main question about this game: is multiplayer emphasized more than single player. Based on your video I think the answer is "yes."I was so disappointed with GTA V, I refuse to ever buy a game again until I'm convinced that there's a good single player experience. I don't want to play 'online' and hope to never be fooled by a game like GTA V again...
after playing the open beta a bit i think you're list was bang on. I enjoy Loot games so providing the game runs well i'll pick it up, but all of your concerns are mine as well.
Funny seeing all the hateful comments from viewers.I highly doubt any of them did anything even half as helpful as this video, that was just trying to clarify some things for individuals who may not know what they are getting into. People are so jaded and entitled now it's to a ridiculous level.
Kinda confused, if this game is about looting, then if you go into the darkzone and die can someone take your loot or the items you had? if so would you lose those items untill you somehow got them back?
They can only take your contaminated loot that you haven't extracted, although, there are some private items that only you may go back and pick up. Anything you have equiped stays on you and you keep.
Fml I have three test in the morning and have to wake up at 5 yet here I am with a redbull chips and bean dip getting ready to play.... Ugh Multiple guess on the test it is
Zane Caden not really, hate to break it to you lol. unless youre like premed or some shit. i study the same amount as in high school and go to the best business school in my state, with half the class time
That's good sounds nice. And yes it's important of course. Main thing is just good grades so as long as I keep above 3.7 I'm happy. And I know what you mean study part.
Great points! I bought the game before I saw this. I'm enjoying the game so far, just hit lvl 20. there are some savages awaiting in the shadows at the extraction point though. Definitely gotta run in the DZ with a 4-man team. Thanks for the tips!
I came to watch this video because I wanted to see what was supposed to be so good about this game. I couldn't find anything that makes this game stand out from any other shooter. And so with that said, I had no desire to play this game yet but wanted to find one. After watching this video, I am pretty sure I won't bother with this game. I'm really hating these more and more common loot/level up FPS games.
I agree with your last point. Having only one type of enemies in this case "humans" doesn't give you much room to expand on mechanics since humans have their limitations. There is a Novel by Brandon Sanderson called "Steelheart" It is a post apocalyptic world where people started acquiring super powers but turned them evil. The protagonist is a resistance fighter, a normal human with no powers. Imagine such concept was implemented in the division you would have limitless possibilities concerning enemies/bosses/mechanics.
+blackflytr I don't know why you think Titanfall was such a huge failure. I still hold it above call of duty, and battlefield in terms of fun and the amount of replayability. It was a great game, but it didn't stick because people didn't play it for more than 5 minutes
You forgot to mention the single most ANNOYING thing in this game.. No pause function. It's frustrating when you have to let the dog out, go for a piss, deal with a whinging gf etc.. because you can't pause this game.
+OhPhilly It's an online game, no online game from my memory has ever been "pausable", (other than CS:GO's vote pause system but if that was the case for this game, the game would be paused for literally EVERYONE) if they did add a pause for players (assuming it had invincibility and said "PAUSED" on the players head) people would use that as leverage to not be killed in the Dark Zone
+David MacDonald It seems that Ubisoft forgot that we're not all 13 year olds that can lock ourselves in a room with no obligations. I mean shit, it is that hard to put a pause feature in when not playing online/co op/pvp?
+OhPhilly I see what you're saying, but in single player missions there are so many checkpoint areas where there's no enemies that you can find a stop point and walk away without consequence
I am the boner of my sword Anticipation is my body and adrenaline is my blood I have waited over a thousand hours Unknown to being patient, Nor known to calming down Have withstood insanity to wait for this day Yet, these eyes may finally be satisfied So as I pray, Unlimited Hype Works
Actually with the free update in April the incursions you have to destroy a tank of some sort I'm pretty sure. Some guy went into the coding of the game and saw a mission with the code "destroy tank" in the game files
+Kirisute Gomen nobody cares about ur stupid comment more lol so stfu if no one cares why would u waste your time making a comment, what a fucking dumbass piece of shit
i felt the same way after watching this video lol. but i think its just because I've been nerding out real hard on the division, i played in the alpha and both the betas, lol only a few more days till we can play it again!
There's only one thing i need to know. It's from Ubisoft which means they will fuck you over at some point. As a matter of principle i don't buy ubisoft games. No matter how good they are. That's just me tho.
isn't there an armored dumpster truck that the flamethrower people jumped off of because that could've been a hint that we're going to have to fight it sometime during the game
+Ollie Smith Yes. Some quests are harder than other quests and you need to be certain levels to stand a chance, though you can try them anyway. There are, "dungeons" with bosses that drop loot and you have an upgradable base of operations, which is cool. There have also been talks of raids being added at some point. You can, of course, tackle missions and quests with other players which will make the enemies stronger. You can play completely rogue and be efficient at it too and get the same high end gear as people working together. Then you have the Dark Zone. If you've ever played RuneScape, it's kind of like the wilderness from that. An area where you can PVP and earn loot. The game definitely is fun and has a storyline to it, I've been enjoying it.
+Padbear yeah I've been caning it between work and maintaining a steady social life, somehow managed to put about 14 hours into it (says a lot for the social life I'm maintaining) not ventured to dark zone yet though. Had an incident last night with a player too low a level for the mission running off ahead and dying constantly 😓
+Necrossx Haysler I was referring to the typical buzzfeed style title and content of this video. If buzzfeed would post this, they'd call it "Top 5 things you NEED to know about the division", and without changing anything content of the video, i'd still fit the bill.
+Flerm I dont. People agree with me, strange huh? Look at my other comment, that does not have any thumb ups, it would have if i thumbed up my own comments. Also, this is the comment section, why are you surprised that there is an opinion in here? What is YOUR problem with my opinion. Also, he hasnt been doing them 'for years'. His channel only exists for 5 years of which the first 2-3 are mostly starcraft gameplay analysis and strategy. The oldest 'top' video i can find in his list is "Top 5 Reasons Star Wars Battlefront Might Suck!" Which is from september 15th, last year. If you want beef, get some proof. And even if your argument was valid, you are relying on the fact that your argument pretty much means 'you are subscribed to him for certain content so dont expect it in your list'. Well i subscribed to him when he did SC2 strategy content, so might as well complain about all his other videos according to your logic.
lol. i do play COD, and yes it is a skill based game. I also play BF4 and CS go. I also got The Division last night and its pretty interesting. Games like COD and BF4 are skill based because your level and weapons doesnt affect the game play. it mostly depends on ur skills
One thing that I would like to see is different bosses have to have different ways to take them down. Or different ways to take them down in a more contaminated area
XxGamerxX_15 Why did Borderlands 2 suck? I played through about 1/3 of the game but I enjoyed that more than Destiny. Based off this video, it seems like BL2 is better than this as well.
I have not played a game this satisfying in quite some time. I have tried to find something wrong with it but I can't. There is so much to do especially in the beginning. It takes awhile to figure everything out and when you put the missions on hard its way more fun. You can't just run through enemies or you will get destroyed. This game takes Tom Clancy to another level. Trying to imagine a sequel really excites. The Dark Zone really makes this game. Had it not been for the Dark Zone this game may have fallen off but it's a feature that keeps you immersed. Most players won't attack you in the Dark Zone because it makes you Rouge and you drop items when you die which you don't want to happen because the best items are in the Dark Zone.
This guy says the in game pvp isn't fair and explained why. He also talked about how if you plan on avoiding the pvp you are missing out on like a third of the game. Well that main part of the game isn't fair, it's like in wow back when level 19's could fight level 10's in battlegrounds way back, just stupid op.
+I am a Lion But in a way, what he says does make sense, in games like this pvp will never be 'fair'. There's always going to be people that get better at one game than other people, there's just no way they can make a game like this and be able to cater to everybody so everyone has a fair chance.
personally I love the game. been waiting a long time for it. I played by myself and completed half the map before I started playing with someone and we have both made it to lvl 30. after lvl 30 the game gets much more challenging. the very north part of the DZ is all lvl 32 npc and they are no joke. while falling back from cover to cover we would run into another group of npc of a different faction. they would fight us and the other npc. enemies also have the same skills and perks as us. throwing down turrets and using health support stations. and getting charged by 2 guys with shotguns was enough to make you rethink your whole situation. once you get to 30 you get daily missions to complete for phoenix credit's. that's when you get the best loot. but you have to be lvl 50 in the dark zone to use it, that will be the biggest grind. it helps to have a tank, support, and dps character.
I like the point you make that PVP is not fair. That is a reality that I had to face. I then slowed down and began hunting. It got A LOT better when I did that. Essentially, I had to change my play style. One thing I did notice was the game pulled me out of the darkzone server that the two guys i was playing with. At 8|9 when i tried to enter the DZ with my buddies it would not let me play with them. We tried restarting the game, regrouping on each one of use and I even tried restarting my router (it was time to anyway). So I think they will keep the PVP bracketed. Additionally, I imagine that people are complaining about your PVP was that you would attack someone for no reason other than just to attack them. It understandably may cause feelings of anger. I agree with you that PVP will always be unfair, completely, but I think the tension comes in when you justify your actions with that label of it's PVP and it will never be fair. That's not a justification that just makes you a mean person. LOL. Which i'm fine with and the reason I really like your video. Heck, I could see my self going rogue for no reason just for the thrill. Who cares right, it's a game. The PVP unfair one is the best bit of this whole thing. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know you are supposed to climb the treadmill. I have been doing it wrong all of this time...

Very helpull info ! I just got thru with the 5 Hour trial and your info and video helped me decide that I'll be buying Divison on payday !
I mean the dark zone is pretty fair to be honest. don't know how to explain it but it's like "don't fuck with me, I don't fuck with you" and there is an unspoken law in the dark zone, like this one time I was getting fucked over by a bunch of NPC's and a group of guys came to help me out, and during that fight I accidentally crossed their line of fire and they shot me which turned them rogue, but it didn't make a fuss or try to fight (mostly I would have been fucked). the experience is up to you, play how you want, just pick your battles
Having played mainly Rogue in WoW I had a BLAST terrorizing the PvP zones in the game.
Honestly, the salt of these people is just going to be the icing on the cake for me. Be it in this game, or any other PvP-enabled title.
Solo play isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I played solo for a while in the closed and open beta and was able to hold my own against other full squads of 4. I had to use tactical retreats and take them out one by one, but still it's possible if you know what you're doing and choose the right gear and skills for solo play.
+SH4RKTEETH Exactly, if you actually have skill and have a good brain you can easily take on a gang of people. I killed 3 guys by myself towards the end of the beta just because I was a better player then them and had better gear.
+SH4RKTEETH Its still 4vs1. That is very bad for you, and you will usually die very quickly if the enemy is equally skilled.
Jelly And miss a bunch of the game content? No thanks.

And on the fairness scale, I'm glad it's not fair, gear isn't normalized, it makes getting better gear matter, it makes encounters not seem dull knowing I have all high-end gear and it's normalized to standard...

Also, I'm glad that you can get shot in the back and just different circumstances and encounters...Examples of me getting turned on xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15028321 xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15090713 It isn't all that dark and dangerous though... Everybody had mics and we all made one big pack in the DZ xboxdvr.com/gamer/ShadowVanGuard9/video/15028688 There's tons of things that can happen in the DZ... It's going to be my most favorite part of the game... And also, force gaming mentioned there wouldn't be any monstrosities or big enemies... If you checked out the legend in the map, it listed the enemie types... One was listed as a Mech... I could be right or could be wrong... Anyways just wanted to get that out there, solo play is possible... Although even if a buddy of mine is across the DZ and your in a group it's basically solo... So expect to be alone from time to time
REALenvizible Yes. That is no problem, the problem is going rogue alone. You almost can never do it.
I like your explanations on everything. Very help full, I look forward to playing the game.
one of the best games ever i have played
Hashir Gamer I love this game so much it got way too much shit
Hashir Gamer same bro, i love it
Donny Kerr omg dude true and do you paly
Hashir Gamer is it still fun just ordered it for 15 bucks
Hell yeah! Doesn't have to look fair(the PvP) it is fair because who puts more dedication in the game should have better loot while a newbie like me a month ago needs to GIT GUD BITCJ!
i thought the fat boss with the flamethrower was pretty diverse...
When a game makes a normal human being be able to take 100 bullets to the head then you know there's a problem.
They have adamantite plated diamond coated helmets, filled with steel bars
Its an RPG game bro. You'll see health bars and bullet sponge enemies.
This guy did a good job explaining the game and letting you know what your in for and letting you decide if you want it or not
‘There’s no indication that we’re gonna be fighting any vehicle bosses’ *the cleaners get a damn flame thrower truck* the last man battalion’s leader in his helicopter* the LMB with an APC* the cleaner
Started playing this, it was fun until the characters started eating more and more bullets. This game is definitely not for me.
Well this game is for real gamers, not casual
This is for really good players, I'm not saying you are bad, you just have to git gud. Get to a good level, maybe higher than the person, Kill them.
+MrLILSmokey I know right! A thug in a hoodie taking 30 rounds from an automatic rifle..
@Contrificus determination BITCJ
I don't really play games much just thought this game looked cool. I hated it at first too so much because I sucked bad. There is a lot to it.. leveling up, gear, stamina, dps, etc. It was actually VERY rewarding once I got good! I'm at level 21 now going solo and doin alright. My main learning lesson was.. make sure to cover and snipe. You have to be methodical, not just go in like Rambo and try to get everyone. Also pay attention to your gear, weapon mods, health perks and talents. It gets fun. It's like playing a movie!
the fact that we will be only fighting humans is the reason iam buying this game is the first place
+COLDSIDE34 I agree that's why I am getting it as that's all I did in the beta for three days straight and it wasn't repetitive at all
badass video bro, subscribed learned alot very quickly might try the game out now that I know I can't just headshot my way to victory early on lol
I wasn't able to play the beta of the game but I have seen a few videos and I'm still looking forward to it
To be honest, I don't think I have ever seen a "fair" PvP game environment in an MMO. Games like FFXIV and Guild Wars 2 also have similar issues to those you mentioned in PVP.
I just wanted to make sure that I can play solo to get use to the mechanics then jump into friend squad based gameplay. I am glad this is in the game and will allow players like myself who like to take time to learn the game.
Thanks for your excellent breakdown and introduction to The Division, a battlefield training program, in the public domain. A further experiment on social interaction, and potential societal end game scenario. I personally prefer to play the ai only.
what programs do you use ?
when you record in game?
video editing ?
will this last week ever end?!?! :/
Ikr :/
agreed :(
+Ertas Rama fuck yes i got to lvl 8 and got a few purples and i played 3 days straight for the open beta....the game goes to lvl 30 and you start off in the beta at lvl 4, then you need to get the best gear and spec that gear out with the best mods and perks....even with a laxed end game there is a good 2 to 3 months of content, then once you have fully smashed out and gotten full geared you can go fuck people up in the dark zone.
so yes this will last you months..not just a "weekend"
Logan ShadowHeart i mean the week until release ;)
+Logan ShadowHeart Then you realize that we all thought that about destiny. "Wow, level 30. There's going to be so much content for months for me to play." The we realize it only lasts about 30 hours of play time.
Just bought this game. Can't wait. This is MY kind of game. Modern military RPG where you aren't fighting stupid aliens or mutants or zombies? Yes, please. I typically hate RPG's. The only other RPG I've ever really liked was Diablo 3. Never could get in to Skyrim or Fallout or anything like that. So The Division is right up my alley.
This game is hard af
joshua icardi how
Thai was really helpful and easy to understand, you made me a lot more interested in the game
Just received my uplay key and preloading, cant wait.
the PvP is actually kinda realistic
no it's not, everyone is a bullet sponge
+Andren and can heal when you're just about to kill them.
#6 You should not go Rogue, or it will make you a bad person irl.
The AI though was really well done, I found that fighting through the missions that the AI acted, for the most part, in a very realistic manor and at times it was overwhelming when suddenly as you reload, a charger is coming at you, or that his buddy had flanked you. They did not mess around when creating the AI.
When the ad before the video is for the same game you want to watch
Not sure what to think about this game. I'll wait for some reviews.
How did this guy get superior weapons at level 8??
and dark zone
In regards to number 5, the bosses in the actual release are challenging. The first few are as described, where you can stand there and shot them from afar, but when you are up against flame throwing cleaners who constantly advance on your position, knowing where to back pedal to to steer clear of the flame is a challenge... One mission I pretty much had to back pedal all the way to the start of the mission during the boss fight... He kept advancing and throwing nades... So far the game is pretty fun to play and I have spent very little time in the dark zone. Soloing my way to my current level 18. I will prolly start in on the dark zone once I hit lvl 20.
Thank you for this video! I think you answered my main question about this game: is multiplayer emphasized more than single player.
Based on your video I think the answer is "yes."I was so disappointed with GTA V, I refuse to ever buy a game again until I'm convinced that there's a good single player experience.
I don't want to play 'online' and hope to never be fooled by a game like GTA V again...
U actually do fight both a tank and a helicopter plus a firetruck
Helicopter, yes. Tank and firetruck?
Falcon lost=Tank
Dragon nest=FireTruck
Jason Saperstein not at tank.. an apc
this game comes out on my birthday, dont know how i feel about it but hope someone is vivid enough to gift me it lol
+Vivid Naz If i was a rich man i would buy it for you. Unfortunately for you, i'm broke.
nicklong27 haha, its the thought that counts #Stay Vivid son
comes out on my friend's birthday too. might get it for him
+thoyo you are a good friend :)
+Vivid Naz its 37 euros on Kinguin and with a quick google you can find a 3% off coupon :)
Just some added info since when this came, some more endgame stuff is "Incursions" (I.E. strikes from destiny) and vehicle bosses such as APCs.
after playing the open beta a bit i think you're list was bang on. I enjoy Loot games so providing the game runs well i'll pick it up, but all of your concerns are mine as well.
Thanks. Great Video. Very helpful
Funny seeing all the hateful comments from viewers.I highly doubt any of them did anything even half as helpful as this video, that was just trying to clarify some things for individuals who may not know what they are getting into. People are so jaded and entitled now it's to a ridiculous level.
+Bill Billinger ahh Another hateful comment from a viewer
Kinda confused, if this game is about looting, then if you go into the darkzone and die can someone take your loot or the items you had? if so would you lose those items untill you somehow got them back?
They can only take your contaminated loot that you haven't extracted, although, there are some private items that only you may go back and pick up. Anything you have equiped stays on you and you keep.
This helped out a lot since I'm completely addicted to this game and everyone that joins me dies way too quick.
thanks, this actually helped me decide I don't want the game at all.
+IMIaTix buy it, really diferent from the beta, mechanics are way better
Honestly Imo his description kinda makes the game sound like shit it's pretty fun
Fml I have three test in the morning and have to wake up at 5 yet here I am with a redbull chips and bean dip getting ready to play.... Ugh Multiple guess on the test it is
+Zane Caden you got a bright future ahead of you
Lowest was a b so yuppers, high school is easy bro college Is where things get real
Zane Caden not really, hate to break it to you lol. unless youre like premed or some shit.
i study the same amount as in high school and go to the best business school in my state, with half the class time
That's good sounds nice. And yes it's important of course. Main thing is just good grades so as long as I keep above 3.7 I'm happy. And I know what you mean study part.
Huge Help & nice video mate. Thanks!
Great points! I bought the game before I saw this. I'm enjoying the game so far, just hit lvl 20. there are some savages awaiting in the shadows at the extraction point though. Definitely gotta run in the DZ with a 4-man team. Thanks for the tips!
I came to watch this video because I wanted to see what was supposed to be so good about this game. I couldn't find anything that makes this game stand out from any other shooter. And so with that said, I had no desire to play this game yet but wanted to find one. After watching this video, I am pretty sure I won't bother with this game. I'm really hating these more and more common loot/level up FPS games.
What sets it apart is this isn't a shooter. It's an rpg. But if you don't like rpgs that is totally understandable.
Sounds like you need call of duty in your life
Lv 1 Pistol vs Max Lv Sniper Rifle...... Sniper Rifle wins?!?!?
HOLY S**T!!!!!
*Brain explodes*
Your PVP Observations "... count down from 10..." made me laugh! :)
I agree with your last point. Having only one type of enemies in this case "humans" doesn't give you much room to expand on mechanics since humans have their limitations.
There is a Novel by Brandon Sanderson called "Steelheart" It is a post apocalyptic world where people started acquiring super powers but turned them evil. The protagonist is a resistance fighter, a normal human with no powers. Imagine such concept was implemented in the division you would have limitless possibilities concerning enemies/bosses/mechanics.
I'll buy this.........
when it's £5 in the bargin bin
Lmao at all the hate comments for this game.
If you don't like gtfo.
Go play Runescape again or something.
This has really helped me thanks mate
"What did you expect us to do count down from 10?!" Lmao!
i see the big disapointing of that game is coming :D
This game is fun and nothing compared to those games.
+GoldenTrulove expensiv fun in my eyes
+Roz Mer so true, same shit was with evolve yes, 1:1 same, super hype and now....trashlike.
+blackflytr I don't know why you think Titanfall was such a huge failure. I still hold it above call of duty, and battlefield in terms of fun and the amount of replayability. It was a great game, but it didn't stick because people didn't play it for more than 5 minutes
+Pfubargly there must be a reason why players get bored so fast with games like that.
You forgot to mention the single most ANNOYING thing in this game.. No pause function. It's frustrating when you have to let the dog out, go for a piss, deal with a whinging gf etc.. because you can't pause this game.
+OhPhilly It's an online game, no online game from my memory has ever been "pausable", (other than CS:GO's vote pause system but if that was the case for this game, the game would be paused for literally EVERYONE) if they did add a pause for players (assuming it had invincibility and said "PAUSED" on the players head) people would use that as leverage to not be killed in the Dark Zone
+xDarkStarrx Yeah fair enough but WHY when I'm playing solo, on a mission by myself, vsing the AI/bots, there's no pause function.
Totally agree with you had to change a nappy yesterday and got punked!
+David MacDonald It seems that Ubisoft forgot that we're not all 13 year olds that can lock ourselves in a room with no obligations. I mean shit, it is that hard to put a pause feature in when not playing online/co op/pvp?
+OhPhilly I see what you're saying, but in single player missions there are so many checkpoint areas where there's no enemies that you can find a stop point and walk away without consequence
I find it so fun when your rogue and the whole lobby chases you
I'm out of town on spring break rn, so I'm playing the waiting game
I killed four people at the same time by myself, I destroy in this game. I can't wait until the 8th!!!
too bad no one cares
+Daniel Calxeron you're right 😂😂
+King Austin I care...lololol
I am the boner of my sword
Anticipation is my body and adrenaline is my blood
I have waited over a thousand hours
Unknown to being patient, Nor known to calming down
Have withstood insanity to wait for this day
Yet, these eyes may finally be satisfied
So as I pray, Unlimited Hype Works
+Przemek Wielgosz lol I see what you did there
Actually with the free update in April the incursions you have to destroy a tank of some sort I'm pretty sure. Some guy went into the coding of the game and saw a mission with the code "destroy tank" in the game files
stuck on level 3 ,how do you get more missions,the one showing says i completed it ?Do you have to level up in co-op ?
More like 5 things I already know
+진 nobody cares
+Kirisute Gomen nobody cares about ur stupid comment more lol so stfu if no one cares why would u waste your time making a comment, what a fucking dumbass piece of shit
i felt the same way after watching this video lol. but i think its just because I've been nerding out real hard on the division, i played in the alpha and both the betas, lol only a few more days till we can play it again!
+진 same besides human bosses
John Ramonez III Exactly, someone who cares lol, I totally agree to ya
There's only one thing i need to know. It's from Ubisoft which means they will fuck you over at some point. As a matter of principle i don't buy ubisoft games. No matter how good they are.
That's just me tho.
No shit. That is the reason why I'm skeptical of buying this game.
Force, have you tried The Division on a console? Could you provide a console review of this game and compare and contrast with PC version?
isn't there an armored dumpster truck that the flamethrower people jumped off of because that could've been a hint that we're going to have to fight it sometime during the game
Makes it fun the fact it isn't fair
Thank you. Makes it like an MMORPG
+Padbear it essentially is an MMORPG at times?
+Ollie Smith Yes. Some quests are harder than other quests and you need to be certain levels to stand a chance, though you can try them anyway.
There are, "dungeons" with bosses that drop loot and you have an upgradable base of operations, which is cool. There have also been talks of raids being added at some point.
You can, of course, tackle missions and quests with other players which will make the enemies stronger. You can play completely rogue and be efficient at it too and get the same high end gear as people working together.
Then you have the Dark Zone. If you've ever played RuneScape, it's kind of like the wilderness from that. An area where you can PVP and earn loot. The game definitely is fun and has a storyline to it, I've been enjoying it.
+Padbear yeah I've been caning it between work and maintaining a steady social life, somehow managed to put about 14 hours into it (says a lot for the social life I'm maintaining) not ventured to dark zone yet though. Had an incident last night with a player too low a level for the mission running off ahead and dying constantly 😓
im level 30 already my buddy that was already level 30 pushed me through alot of hard missions
What ping do you have 20
ah na i can't fight you my ping 100 i'll be heading off now bye see you around
*waves* bye friend
Me: WTF
Thanks SOOOOO MUCH for your honesty it saved me some money!
I think the room you fight the bosses kind of makes it interesting
What is this, a modern version of Destiny?
+senih yuksel That what I thought!
And Destiny is a terrible version of halo and borderlands ps.
it plays nothing like destiny...
Seriously force? Top 5 lists?
+tHaH4x0r How the fuck is this a top 5
+Necrossx Haysler I was referring to the typical buzzfeed style title and content of this video. If buzzfeed would post this, they'd call it "Top 5 things you NEED to know about the division", and without changing anything content of the video, i'd still fit the bill.
+tHaH4x0r what's the problem? his done list videos for years. And no need to thumb up your own comment.
+Flerm I dont. People agree with me, strange huh? Look at my other comment, that does not have any thumb ups, it would have if i thumbed up my own comments.
Also, this is the comment section, why are you surprised that there is an opinion in here? What is YOUR problem with my opinion.
Also, he hasnt been doing them 'for years'. His channel only exists for 5 years of which the first 2-3 are mostly starcraft gameplay analysis and strategy. The oldest 'top' video i can find in his list is "Top 5 Reasons Star Wars Battlefront Might Suck!" Which is from september 15th, last year.
If you want beef, get some proof.
And even if your argument was valid, you are relying on the fact that your argument pretty much means 'you are subscribed to him for certain content so dont expect it in your list'. Well i subscribed to him when he did SC2 strategy content, so might as well complain about all his other videos according to your logic.
tHaH4x0r lol if you think im reading that essay then you're fuckin kidding yourself. Got better things to do kthx
Quick caveat on number 5 but the devs suggested that the equivalent of a say, dragon would be a helicopter, or tank.
Good criticism, got what I wanted to know answered!
Lol only reason I dislike pvp is that I suck
+VaultBoyTryx my life lol
its level based. lol. I prefer Skill-based
+Ken Aguilar there's still skill to it. you can build different ways use different skills and try different tactics ^.^
+Ken Aguilar go play cod then lol.
+Dashiro117 cod and skill based are two completely different things lol
lol. i do play COD, and yes it is a skill based game. I also play BF4 and CS go. I also got The Division last night and its pretty interesting. Games like COD and BF4 are skill based because your level and weapons doesnt affect the game play. it mostly depends on ur skills
Linkz oh yeah? how so, mind elaborating? because i thought ppl played cod just to prove their skills, specially in competitive game modes.
can you turn off the hit marking/score stuff?
The numbers popping up after bullets hit?
One thing that I would like to see is different bosses have to have different ways to take them down. Or different ways to take them down in a more contaminated area
in an age of feminism, I like how this game makes me feel like more of a man again.
This shit suck get the fuck out of here
+Jason Francois butthurt
Sooooo basically, Borderlands 2 is still better than this and Destiny.
Borderlands 2 sucks
+XxGamerxX_15 youre ignorant
+Mccoy Berthelot you can't say he's ignorant for having an opposite opinion
agreed
XxGamerxX_15 Why did Borderlands 2 suck? I played through about 1/3 of the game but I enjoyed that more than Destiny. Based off this video, it seems like BL2 is better than this as well.
I have not played a game this satisfying in quite some time. I have tried to find something wrong with it but I can't. There is so much to do especially in the beginning. It takes awhile to figure everything out and when you put the missions on hard its way more fun. You can't just run through enemies or you will get destroyed. This game takes Tom Clancy to another level. Trying to imagine a sequel really excites. The Dark Zone really makes this game. Had it not been for the Dark Zone this game may have fallen off but it's a feature that keeps you immersed. Most players won't attack you in the Dark Zone because it makes you Rouge and you drop items when you die which you don't want to happen because the best items are in the Dark Zone.
you do fight big bosses. BIG Flame thrower boss, a helicopter, bombers etc.
already got the platinum on ps4. games dead already lol only daily missions to do for credits.
hey do you mind game sharing?
No
+sean murray
No, what?
I've been playing the game for a week, still level 24 DZ 21
do you regret it now
destiny sucks... division is much better...
What sniper rifle were you using?
Very nice and educational review. Also, your voice reminds me of Jim Gaffigan.
This game is not fair in pvp. Pvp is essential to this game. Well sounds like a pretty broken game.
?
This guy says the in game pvp isn't fair and explained why. He also talked about how if you plan on avoiding the pvp you are missing out on like a third of the game. Well that main part of the game isn't fair, it's like in wow back when level 19's could fight level 10's in battlegrounds way back, just stupid op.
RemySML idk just my opinion
+I am a Lion
But in a way, what he says does make sense, in games like this pvp will never be 'fair'. There's always going to be people that get better at one game than other people, there's just no way they can make a game like this and be able to cater to everybody so everyone has a fair chance.
+EndJayy someone has common sense xD glad I wasn't the one who had to say it
Thanks to destiny. People think this is going to suck. Why do people compare games anyways?
personally I love the game. been waiting a long time for it. I played by myself and completed half the map before I started playing with someone and we have both made it to lvl 30.
after lvl 30 the game gets much more challenging. the very north part of the DZ is all lvl 32 npc and they are no joke. while falling back from cover to cover we would run into another group of npc of a different faction. they would fight us and the other npc. enemies also have the same skills and perks as us. throwing down turrets and using health support stations. and getting charged by 2 guys with shotguns was enough to make you rethink your whole situation.
once you get to 30 you get daily missions to complete for phoenix credit's. that's when you get the best loot. but you have to be lvl 50 in the dark zone to use it, that will be the biggest grind.
it helps to have a tank, support, and dps character.
I like the point you make that PVP is not fair. That is a reality that I had to face. I then slowed down and began hunting. It got A LOT better when I did that. Essentially, I had to change my play style. One thing I did notice was the game pulled me out of the darkzone server that the two guys i was playing with. At 8|9 when i tried to enter the DZ with my buddies it would not let me play with them. We tried restarting the game, regrouping on each one of use and I even tried restarting my router (it was time to anyway). So I think they will keep the PVP bracketed.
Additionally, I imagine that people are complaining about your PVP was that you would attack someone for no reason other than just to attack them. It understandably may cause feelings of anger. I agree with you that PVP will always be unfair, completely, but I think the tension comes in when you justify your actions with that label of it's PVP and it will never be fair. That's not a justification that just makes you a mean person. LOL. Which i'm fine with and the reason I really like your video. Heck, I could see my self going rogue for no reason just for the thrill. Who cares right, it's a game. The PVP unfair one is the best bit of this whole thing. Thanks for sharing.
