The Division Is A Bad Shooter Wrapped In a Beautiful Package

SR

Still, despite its glaring issues, there’s no debating the addictive nature of The Division’s pretty looter shooter co-op experience. It’s a foundation to build upon in updates, expansions, and sequels, but outside of the endless search for better things and bigger numbers in the inventory and stats screens, there’s not much game to enjoy if you’re one for story and quality shooters.

The Division is NOT a bad shooter. Infact if you judged the game purely on the shooting mechanics you'd see that it is actually a Good shooter. The game has other issues - true. But the actual shooting is one of the best aspects of the game.

Cdn_Seahawks_Fan2975d ago

I would have to agree with the above statement. The game is not a bad shooter, it's just other mechanics/gameplay decisions that make it a little rough around the edges.

thekhurg2974d ago

Like what? Everyone that I've met in the game has said they love it. Seems to be just website gamers that have problems with the game.

Goldby2974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

@Thekhurg, the cover mechanics need to be tweaked, one option would be to change the control mapping for roll and enter exit cover as two different buttons.

also the DPS, health, and sill power need tweaking as its isn't very accurate of actual numbers

AnubisG2974d ago

Agreed. The best thing in this game is the shooting itself. It's other things like the "story" the way dark zone is and the repetitive gameplay that is bad about this game.

OoglyBoogly2974d ago

Story was actually pretty good if you cared to listen to a lot of the intel. Really helped open it up. If you just rushed the main story and didn't pay attention to anything then it might not have seemed that great.

digitalkid2974d ago

Actually story seems great (for me) too, with all cruelty and drama in phonecalls, camera recordings, echoes and NY decorations.

One of the best pictures of social collapse, made with a billions of smallest details.

AnubisG2974d ago

Well, does anyone care to tell me why was the story great? Can anyone name a single memorable character? I know I can't and I played that game for over 30 hours. There was no hook in the beginning of the story.

Also, what I would think might have made this game much better is if at night the infected, zombie like creatures would come out and make it very dangerous to walk around I Am Legend style.

@OoglyBoogly
I'm absolutely in love with The Division and I've really took my sweet time to get to the level cap and last mission. And yeah, the story sucks. I love the setting and I really love the atmosphere (I'm even amazed by it, since it reminds me very much of one of my favorite comic books: DMZ), but I've found the actually story to be very boring, without any real interesting characters and a very lazy narrative. If there's ever a Division 2, and I hope there will be, I would like to see my character much more involved in the plot, as well as a much much improved narrative.

is just a boring shooter, I only needed the beta to acknowledge this ;)

thrust2974d ago

So much wrong!

It's a very popular game it's massive in fact that many people can not be wrong!

I only hear people saying its bad from the people who whine about everythin and punch holes in everything!

NarooN2974d ago

Argumentum ad populum, eh? I love it how when people use said logic to hand-wave criticism, it's okay, but when people do the opposite it's dismissed as "the vocal minority."

thrust2974d ago

The vocal people are the whiners tho you do not get many that come to say how good a game is because they are busy enjoying it!

Am here because am at work and wasting time till I can go home and play the division and will not be back on forums till next Tuesday because I will be to busy enjoying the game ;)

Chaosdreams2974d ago

If you only played the beta then you aren't acknowledging anything beyond the notion you're admitting to not playing the final product.

Basically, your opinion becomes null.

Tdmd2974d ago

In other words,"Didn't try it, didn't like it".

shammgod2974d ago

I thought the same after the beta...bought it this week and I am loving it. Give it another try, you might be happy you did.

I am in absolute agreement with the OP 👌

shinoff2183403d ago

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.

-Foxtrot403d ago

Multiplayer or even co-op

If it was always a single player game then that's how it is

Inverno403d ago

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.

Flawlessmic403d ago

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.

Hofstaderman403d ago

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.

Dagexon402d ago

I didn't notice your comment before I added mine.
But good times indeed
