ThisGenGaming says "The servers for The Division went live around 16 hours ago, and so far we’ve managed to put in a solid 8 hours for our first “day” on the game. As there is no review embargo along with reviews not going live until sometime later this week/early next week, we felt like it was fair to share our thoughts before the official release date. Please note this is not our final review of the game."
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
If you're looking to try out an exciting, team-based shoot 'em up, The Division is currently on sale on Steam!
TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
Servers only just came on like 2 hours ago?!
I've been playing since about 1 AM EST. It's pretty good from what I've played so far, which is only about 4-5 hours. A few missions and side-missions, taking my time with everything though and not trying to rush through it because I tend to search around to find extra items in most games, especially RPGs.
But yeah, at first the servers didn't work for me. Then after about 20 minutes of trying I got on and didn't have any problems the rest of the night.
I got to the end then saw this travesty:
"but so far The Division isn’t going to be known as one of the great games of 2016, but it’s certainty not a bad game at all. Although the review may seem negative, I’m really having a lot of fun with The Division. It’s just that the game is being held back by it’s flaws, but one that’s still very enjoyable."
ughh did no one proof read this?
Can we please get an aim assist off option?
Also some not so stereotypical hairdos for each race... :) Other than that, so far so good.
