      I played The Division games in a weird order. I played 2 first, then went back to play 1 (where I fell in love with the survival mode and can't fathom why they didn't carry that over to the sequel).
      But since I played 2 about a year after launch for about a year, then played the first one, I missed all the new content. I didn't even know it had come out. The reason I left the game was that, at the time (late 2020, shortly after Summit launched), was because they started repeating seasons and rumor had it that the game was no longer going to have normal live service game support. Just rehashed/recycled seasons we'd already had.
      Obviously, Ubisoft had a change of heart based on what I learned watching this video. Yeah, they haven't added any new missions like they did in year 1, but they continued to add modes like Countdown and Descent, added new seasons and gear sets, etc. I might have to go back and revisit the game. Since it's been so long though, I think I'd want to start a new playthrough from scratch from the very start as I'm sure I've forgotten many of the core mechanics of the game.
      Had I known they continued supporting it, I'd have jumped back on much sooner.
      *Edit/Addition. Now if they'd add the first games survival mode, I'd be telling all my friends they need to get this game!

      Yes, if boggles mind why some development company hasn’t capitalized on that concept i.e. a big open world with nonstop PVP that’s popular and the dart zone was and the hours and hours and hours that player spent running around killing each other in it yet we don’t have a game like that to play And we have a lot of other titles that tried to do similar things but they’re all arena base games where you have to queue up in the lobby and drop it just boggles the mind that someone hasn’t filled gigantic space or some shit and you have to fight that survive with safe house and scattered around it like in the division Put all the tools to craft and upgrade your gear in them and let people just play and fight that was not in my opinion the best part survival mode and the dark zone in division one the best part of the game we still don’t have anything similar to it I mean plan too OK maybe but that’s fraction based and you’re fighting over locations. Why do we need that premise fighting PVP is its own reward I mean the dark zone was the perfect example of an extraction shooter you go in you’re going in just straight up PVP or you’re going into VA for the high drop rate loop back then I mean it was a higher drop rates right and it’s the beginning. There were certain Benoli in the dark so they had to go there to get them, but people would go to PVP and then try to extract that so they can upgrade that was the foundation of what made the dark so cool is catching people trying to get that gear out or on the other side if you were the guy trying to get it out trying to out smart The people that were trying to dictate you and take that here from you and put it on the rope themselves I mean, I did that many times somebody took the stuff they were trying to put on the rope and before the extraction ended put it on the road was the perfect example of an extraction shooter that would be really popular, but nobody’s made one and the division to ruin that experience

      The original content creators for exploiting bugs in the game to give themselves an unfair advantage, especially in PVP, with cheat-like mechanics. The explanation for this was to draw attention to the problem and therefore exploit the mechanics. It's about as justifiable to make cs:go content with aimbot because the devs dont care about it.
      But somehow no one bothered and everyone celebrated it and people declared them to be division gods. Gods of the Ape Horde.

      Because Division 2's endgame content was awful, their raids sucked, the buildcrafting was also just as bad, it was "how much DPS could I push out with guns" because skills were an after thought. Then we got the BTSU Data Gloves, and that some how managed to fix skill builds into being feasible pre-WoNY, then WoNY, those gloves get nerfed, and then they at least put in some sets that weren't dogwater. Then, we never had gear sets until way too late in the cycle to have tailored builds for certain styles of play.

  • @liviynz1
    @liviynz1 Před 28 dny +54

    Division 1 still holds a special place in my heart, Division 2 doesn't quite stack up. One of the biggest reasons the original held my attention so much was until the gear sets became the defacto meta as they were so powerful and they nerfed pretty much everything else you had such an ability to create your own builds in such unique ways. I spent so much time experimenting with different stuff and came up with things like the anti-tank build which would drop someone in 1-2 shots to counter your tanktician build, the high dps shield build which caused a lot of heartbreak in the darkzone (as seen in my videos on my channel) & I'm pretty sure it caused massive to nerf/rework the shield 3 times ;) But there was so much fun to be had creating new things from scratch rather than the cookie cutter stuff that they introduced late in Division 1 and continued with in Division 2. Division 2 doubled down on making it much more cookie cutter with the way they loot & builds worked and it really took away a lot of the fun and player creativity...that's what I miss, being able to create such custom and wild builds...some which were epic and some which were epic fails but all fun to create and play with.

Ive played Division 2 and enjoyed it. But not at the Division 1 level. It lacked direction for me. I never really knew what to do next, and the entire next level after reaching level 30 was a bit of a let down. Not like those early Div 1 days where we were all looking for that perfect vector or M1A-something. Watching Marco and SkillUp making their videos and trying to min-max our loadouts.

The Division peaked in D1 IMHO. The atmosphere just cannot be unbeaten. The snow is the largest factor at play. Playing it from launch was very fun to see how much the game progressed. It's a shame that it's pretty much dead nowadays. I have 100x more fun in D1 than in D2. Survival is still so fun, even if there's only 1-2 other people playing it now. Honestly, if the game was still active, D1 would still be my main game. Anyways, love Marco. Enjoy every video you make.

    There's so much loot and stuff to collect in this game that players would create extra characters just to store extra items in...

      More options don't lead to more complexity. We have a few dozen weapon talents with only a handful of good ones. 30+ brand sets with only 5 being used in 99% of the builds. and 100+ weapon archetypes with only 10 or so even being considered being decent. The builds have also just not eveolved beyond single target damage for end game content. just because there is more shit to pick from, doesn't make this game complex. It is not complex.

I still often see 1000+shd levels with 6 pieces of a gearset, no dttoc on both their guns or they invested in armor expertise (biggest scam ever) among many more and don't even get me started on the new player experience for pvp activities or just knowing what allows for those aforementioned "Frankenstein" builds early on.

      ​@@MarcoStyletrue but especially for solo heroic open world (vast majority if the playerbase) we have so much power there is quite a wide build space that works well enough and which are also fun to play (IMHO). Nicely builds is a lot of the replayability for me.
      If anything, outside of raids, it's too bad that DPS can more or less Brite force your way through all content.
      There are rare exceptions, like many of the final manhunt missions, which are quite challenging solo with directives.
      Survival is cool and all, but its a different thing and not something I could play for 8k hrs like I have div2.
      I abhor PvP in division- RPG mechanics never gel with a singular ruleset ala the DZ. Both end up suffering and you end up empowering griefing douchebags most of us old guys want nothing to do with anymore. My T levels are too low to care anymore. I just want to farm in peace. I also wonder why every attempt to fix PvP im div2 just ends up making PvE worse too.

    The largest change I hated and made me quit the game so fast was the armor system away from the med kits. Having to sit still for 2s just to heal was such a giant leap away from the core experience of division 1. It just makes me hate playing D2

    You've misconstrued the purpose of Bungie deleting Destiny 2's Red War campaign alongside it's two first DLCs (Curse of Osiris and Warmind) and part of Forsaken as being for the same reasons that Division 2 allows you to skip its campaign. They deleted the content not because it's mediocre (which Curse of Osiris definitely was less than such) or not the "true game", but because of difficulties developing such a big game as they put it. They got backlash for this when it occured during Beyond Light's launch because people didn't want to lose this content as it wasn't only the campaigns that were going away but the endgame too; all strikes, exotic missions and raids from the period were removed entirely which were all free for F2P players. It was a core part of the game, not something that isn't as important like in Division 1 and 2.

    • @MarcoStyle
      @MarcoStyle  Před 28 dny

      I'm aware of the reasons they have deleted the campaign, but if Bungie thought the experience was important enough to keep, then they would have. Like with all the other content that did make the final cut. The only endgame content that got removed as far as I know, is the content tied to planets from the red war campaign that also needed to be removed.

    • @iluvboothill
      @iluvboothill Před 28 dny +3

      @@MarcoStyle The only content that "made the final cut" was the paid content. Anything free, aka content they weren't actively making money off of anymore, was deleted. All the content was important; there were weapons from those DLCs that were actively being used, the raids were still being played, and the events of these campaigns are necessary to understand where the story is now (as, unlike Division, the story actually matters). It wasn't because of a lack of importance, they just didn't want to keep trying to sustain content that they couldn't actively monetize. You're giving Bungie too much credit for what was an awful decision that no one liked as F2P players STILL have little to no content to play, the effects are still reflected in the steam review score for Beyond Light to this day.
