Man, this game is really something

TBH, I like ubisoft game. They are incredibly immersive for me. And the division is no exception.
I think the strongest Ubisoft trait is the world building. And damn, they hit the mark here. The lore of what happened is quite amazing and unique, and the snowy NY is stunning. So many details and so much environment storytelling, cheesus.

And not only the world building, but also the coherence of the game. From the ui, skills, echoes, everything just makes the world and setting whole.

And the gameplay is pretty fun as well. You just go from mission to mission, shoot bad guys and that's about it. You get new loot, upgrades and upgrade your base(which I love in videogames)

The story is okay, even though, I didn't finish it, so I can't say anything about the ending. The missions are fun, especially if you have a podcast or something in the background.

All the missions are more or less the same, but that's okay. That was actually the first game in years where I was clearing the map like crazy. I dunno, just mindless shooting works perfectly with this game.

However, game can be kinda challenging due to numbers. If you have lower gear, you will suffer in some of the missions(at least playing solo)

So, why am i abandoning this game? I think it just kinda started to feel boring for me(especially when I started to need to grind for the newer loot and craft new shit). The game is still amazing IMO, and I can see why a lot of people liked it a lot. Definitely doesn't deserve the hate that it's getting.

Fue mi introducción al género y la verdad se me hizo disfrutable. Algunas decisiones de gameplay/progreso/crafteo vistas con retrospectiva se ve que no son de lo mejor, pero han sido arregladas en el nuevo juego.

I'm gonna be honest I've played this game for 13.2 hours now and I thought I would never be the one to say this but I struggle finding any motivation to keep going. I love this game for the atmosphere and the environment but the gameplay starts getting old. It feels like I'm running 200 meters, encounter 3 enemies, continue cycle until arriving to my destination. Not the mention I start getting annoyed from hearing the same "entering safezone" "warning hostile nearby" operator voicelines. I also find myself not being able to do much in the game beside from free roaming and I just wish there were more missions in the game with a meaningful objective since I'm running out of them. It also doesn't make it better that I'm basically feeling like I'm wasting my time since all of this progress that I'm doing sooner or later will be erased since this is a live service game.

Another spin on Tom Clancy's world and this time its The Division. To be honest, this one is quite surprising, I never knew a Tom Clancy game can be a looter shooter and yet it worked.

The Division's gameplay is your average looter shooter genre and the way they handle it, is really great! The gun-play feels good but not as good as Ghost Recon's gun-play. Enemies might be bullet sponges but that's just your normal enemy AI's health in any looter shooter game, Division handles it quite nicely, once you reach the endgame, enemies doesn't feel like bullet sponges anymore. The gear system and the looting system is great. The Dark Zone PVPVE is really a great concept and you just need to watch out for hackers but if your server doesn't have them, then you will have fun playing the Dark Zone.

The story is really great, It lacks in execution but the lore and the premise of the story is really fucking great, Tom Clancy may not have written it but they did capture Tom Clancy's writing with the way they build the world of the game itself. Clearly, the world building is fucking beautifully crafted and the overall story for the game is quite nice. They did try to write compelling characters but they kinda missed with that one, most of the characters are not really that memorable once you finish the game.

The graphics IS FUCKING AMAZING. It may be an 8 years old game but the graphics and the whole vibe of the game including the map is just fucking great. The snowy post-apocalyptic New York is such aesthetically pleasing! The whole aesthetic of the game itself is so cool and so beautiful.

Overall, I enjoyed and had fun while playing the Division. I got invested in the whole world building and the lore. I spent like hundreds of hours by just playing the game casually and I enjoyed every seconds of it. The Division is a good game!

I enjoyed it but more was promised than delivered
