I like the gameplay buteverything else is quite mediocre
>>724281367I like the gameplay and the design of the mission areas. They should've leaned more into weather effects, I loved the cozy rain vibes when walking around the neighborhoods at night.
is this the thread?
Such a bizarre game. There's absolutely zero reason for it to be under the Clancy name.
>>724281367they should have made it with anime girls
>>724281367The game is free now?
>>724284908Yeah. You can play it for free on steam right now for 7 US dollars.
>>724281367Its ubisoft, what do you expect?
>>724285762>for free>7 dollarslol

>>724281367I got around 200 hours from it before I got bored. It's worth to get if you can grab it on sale for a couple of bucks.
Yeah.The Division VTravel by hoverbike, something like as seen in Perfect Dark.Through farms, around a town, though can take road trips to cities, DLC later.Bike powered by water. Stick near rivers, but service stations on road trips.Lots of sparse stuff, towns, even just houses, or one. See some communities. people doing their own thing. Different.Wear a flight mask just in case. Some facilities very protected, where it can come off. Can on the road, by yourself, but should reduce chances to infection and suffocation to nil when with others.
>>724292789Was this AI-generated?
Whats the cheapest but most complete way to play both games? (Not counting on discounts).Each have 2 or 3 different versions that have some expansions but are mission some expansions, and I'm getting confused on whats a scam attempt and whats genuinely the game (i don't care about cosmetic stuff or extra guns, only expansions).>AlsoCan i make my guy look like a Ghost team member?
Can go VERY fast. Near rivers. Guaranteed fuel can spend more of it (no pollution), and refuel quickly, where you run out having gone full speed something made interesting by the game. Like a person, scene, something.Need to keep things from killing eachother. Good weapons, Crye MR-C, Steyr AUG XS Commando.You distribute tools so they can't get lost and to call you/eachother. You lead by example or when there is a problem they can't handle.Sometimes it's a big problem. Rocket launchers, that split rockets to missiles as seen at the start of Spawn. Going to all targets, but hold a button to keep them together so what is hit gets the most damage. If you think you'll miss, release and the missiles change course to hit what they can.Shoot rocket for drones etc. Preempt, go by feeling.EOtech for guns. Sheilded, as seen in Killzone 2.Trigger press degree by how much damage shots need to do. Can witch so less pull is more damage, or vice versa.In first person mode every shot does 100% of the damage it needs to. But you are venerable to hits, which each do 50% of your health. Shot once is time to immediately switch back to 3rd person and get the fuck out of there.Double press aim to switch from 3rd to 1st person.In 1st person every shot on target gives you 100% health that is returned when going to 3rd person. Bank health. Can bank without limit. Multiplayer players surprised by how much you can take, having banked more than them. Their harrasing players prevented by that by them easy killed. Who shot first gets no reward, who shoots back gets all the health the other lost if downing them.Objective to stop threats, stop things hurting & killing eachother.iF YOu KILL any you lose all the health you banked.Some health required to withstand large threats and effect aid.Can give banked health to other players, some maybe too to what is saved and stopped. Increase the chances so they don't need help again or soon. So you can save others.
>>724281367Yeah unfortunately it didn't get supported with an actual endgame. massive got put onto that slop star wars game so it went unfinished.
>>724293338There's 2 actual dlcs. The 'Gold' edition includes base game + the new york and brooklyn dlc. warlords of new york is a new map, story and gamemodes and idk what the brooklyn one is all about.
>>724281367they can't match the atmosphere of the first one
>>724284764This and missing the first game's winter milieus are basically the only faults the game has. It's still somehow the absolute best looter shooter on the market, 7+ years later.Cool music too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hoEy-NLmmA
>>724284764Out of all games chinks have shameless copied why not this one? Literally just slap some anime booba into it, Millions guaranteed.
>>724296238it might be kinda server heavy? Each player has their own fully instanced city with randomly generated enemies, patrols and organic events going on. Plus the constant loot rolling.Chinks like to cheap out on that kind of shit don't they, keeping it simple and "soulless" so to say?
DC is comfy and I'm tired of people slandering it
>>724297505It can't compete with winter NYC's atmosphere.
>>724297720Warm summers are comfy
>>724297797Summer is the least comfy season.
>>724297870>Summer is the least comfy seasonVery third world post I'm sorry Pablo that you only get to see snow in video games.
>>724297984Spring and Autumn are the better seasons in real life. Sorry you're brown.
>>724298210I live North of the equator so I actually get to experience multiple seasons. Unlike you Pablo, who has to vicariously experience winter through fictional media.
>>724281367I haven't checked it out Is it a bullet sponge scaling hell shooter like the first one was?
>>724298658>I love summer because it's the only season when I can go outside in shorts without getting frostbite >It's you who doesn't have seasons thoWorse than being brown, a leaf.
>>724297870Higurashi begs to differ
>>724281367Coolest synergy between gunplay, magic abilities (i.e. SHD skills), role delegation and cover shootan in any current vidya. It's like playing a 3ps XCOM in real-time when in a co-op group. And since the player base still is pretty big and the matchmaking quite excellent you can find groups for basically all activities in the game in next to no time.
>>724298928>You like the summer because you're a thirdie that lives in a warm climate >You like the summer because you're a Leaf and it's the only time of year when the weather is warm I'm going to guess you live in Southern state and every time summer rolls around you can't stay outside for too long or else you'll die from heat exhaustion
>>724284764FACTS!

>>724296238The Division Resurgence is still coming out.
>>724299961
>>724281367>want to try this shit>its 140gbnah
>>724281367it was a downgrade to 1 in every single possible way, from atmosphere and setting, to gameplay, to builds, and quantity of viable builds. They had repaired 1's shitty reputation with 1.6, and the game was getting better and more players every single patch and they then killed by announcing 2. In typical Ubishit fashion, they managed to bungle the very simple task of >make a better looking version of the first 1 with MORE
>>724299996And since I've had it lying around for ever: Here's the ol' art/worldbuilding book, ~150 page pdf>https://mega.nz/file/vh1VWArL#NVbyxTLdTDlI1_AsCuvolyPxBKMunjYcvy_2to9me9Y

People posting anime slop ITT should kill themselves right now.
>>724300017You don't have to lie to try to save face for your shitty toaster, Achmed. One can agree on that 89gb is a lot, but that's (unfortunately )pretty standard these days and far from uncommon.
>>724300224
>>724300204The coldest it gets here is 30.
>>724300234Oh wait no you're right 140gb was a lot the reason why I didnt play it was because the demo was 89 Gb you're right
>>724299847Even your great grandchildren will be waiting for them to do it.
>>724300882my what?
>>724300957You thought that cum stained tissue simply got thrown in the trash GUESS AGAIN ANON
>>724300621It's never been 140gb you subhuman shitstirrer: They're constantly adding content to the game in the seasons so the current size is the biggest the game's ever been.
>>724301000That would be weird but kinda cool I guess.
>>724301126No I meant 140gb was another game I was getting it confused stop being so pissy anon

Division 2 is a good game, as a new player there is a lot of content especially with the dlc. The game still gets regular updates and new things added. Worth trying while it's free, you can get it on sale pretty cheap as well.
>>724284764god I hate zoomer tastescringe coomer faggotry, stay out of my shooter genre
I want to get The Division 2 but>VM Protect How bad is it?
>>724301667animu board, animu website
>>724293338Division 1 dlc is just multiplayer modes. Division 2 has warlords of new York dlc which adds a whole new map in new York and several missions and side quests with around 30hrs of gameplay. The other dlc is called Crossroads which adds another map in Brooklyn, not sure how much gameplay hrs it has but there are several new missions and side quests. Both are like $15 or just get the gold edition which includes the dlc.
I started with just the base game in June after Battle for Brooklyn came out and thought everything was great,but I overdid it during the summer XP boost event and burnt myself out.It reminded me that I shouldn't treat this game the same way most people treat it - a cookie-clicker/spreadsheet simulator.
>>724302164>cookie-clicker/spreadsheet simulator.This is only if you go full autism on builds. Just do the manhunts each season.
>>724302287Very true, and very good advice.
the franchise that started it all...the great misleading of consumers
>>724302375How does it miss lead consoomers?All content is free apart from the dlc? You don't even need the dlc for the seasonal content either. Division 2 is consumer friendly to be fair, it does have season passes but if only gives cosmetic items and extra XP.
Honestly enjoyed it but from what I hear gear got completely reworked and I dont feel like digging through my stash for whats garbage and whats not. This game did convince me to go to the Air and Space museum in DC which was very kino so I guess I would have to thank the frogs until they piss me off again.
>>724281367First game was miles better.
how woke is it
>>724304145Theres minorities/women but you can shoot 95% of them
>>724281367>can be healer or tank>tank doesn't need healing because self-sustained by bonus armor>dps dies before healing can deploy>can't self-heal because same as dps just without the damageAm I missing something?Also when difficulty gets "too high" tanking doesn't work either.
I get these games, play them to the end game, have fun and quitNever played the DLCs or "went back to them" or anything but they're fun enough on launch for a time
>>724299876>comfy snow on the horizonShill it to me.
>>724300224It really is insufferable with these troons.>sees literally anything>BUT WHAT IF THING+ANIME???Absolutely brainrotted weebs. Not everything needs some same-faced stick-girl slapped onto it.
>>724304145Pretty woke.Girlbosses everywhere and you'll have one in your ear 80% of the time talking with a forced tough-girl voice.It's very grating.
>>724303718First game has better story and atmosphere and I replay it occasionally, but not being limited to a dozen enemies on the screen makes 2's gameplay better, especially postgame grinding
>>724304686Noone knows anything since we've only seen a handful of concepts.
>>724305105
>>724305105Damn shame. It's going to be some closed session only-thing I'm sure.The whole division 2 wardrobe would need to be reworked otherwise anyways.
>>724284764yep. Playing dress up is already one of the better parts of the game.
>>724304614It's a covershooter, not goddamn WoW: Why would you need "tanking"?
>try it on release>random crashes>try it couple years later>random crashes>try it after dlc>random crashes>try it after 2nd dlc>random crashes>try it on new pc>random crashes
>>724305217It's a looter shooter with raids ackshually.
>anime posting faggot doesn't even play the gameNo surprise there.
>>724305235The crash era (that admittedly was pretty egregious) ended 2 years ago, bruh.It honestly feels like half the thread whining about shit they don't know anything about haven't even played the game and are just following some ancient script they found on reddit, complaining about shit that A) was fixed 2021 B) never existed.
>>724281367The environment and area design are top 5 all time in gaming. It's the only cover shooter I can think of where the cover is 100% believable, rather than "we put a bunch of waist-high partitions in every combat room, gears of war style." Ubisoft really does have the best level artists in the industry, and the designers worked really hard in this one.
>>724305217It's better to play with a tank build and not as a cover shooter.
>>724305436>Ubisoft really does have the best level artists in the industryIt's all the Massive studio (that I honestly don't even know if Ubi owns? more like subcontracting). They're master craftsmen in everything they do, but unortunately they're also kinda slow on content updates. Far from as glacial as their countrymen (((Fatshark))) but you only get content updates in season changes, every third month.But yeah, the game looks fucking stellar. Especially considering how old it is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfCXb5FTNrA
>>724305235Windows or Linux? I had a problem with crashes on Linux, changed my Proton version to 9-15 and works without crashing.
>>724304614>>724305653>It's better to play with a tank>tanking doesn't work either
>>724304994This: The first game's atmosphere, visuals and milieus were the best winter gaming in vidya. Gameplay, gear and builds were like a faulty alpha version of Div2 though and anyone trying to claim otherwise is confirmed for not even having played the game(s).
>>724281367For me, it's picrel even after the reload nerf
>>724284764
>>724298717Bullet sponginess was MUCH worse in the first "better" game. It's not even an issue in the sequel: If stuff takes too long to die it's because you're playing on too high a difficulty with dogshit gear or shooting an endboss with your sidearm.
>>724306028sorry bud, but people who actually played the game know that Div 1 had like 12 different sets by the end and Div 2 launched with FOUR, 1 of which was in the gay raid that zero people dideat shit
>>724307338>12 different flavors of shitvs>4 different flavors of fun
>>724307447nice cope but it's better if you just accept you didn't know shit about shitLOL at trying to claim Div 2's sets, which were so god awful they were are all redone were goodJesus Christ LMAO
>>724281367It's the same story with all fucking looter shooters. It's fun in the beginning, peaks in the middle to end, then the post game becomes boring mind numbing cancer where NUMBER MUST GO UP EVEN IF IT'S JUST BY 1 is the endgame. Trash.
>>724308352my favourite part of the end game is when the enemies become bullet sponges and I have to spend 20 seconds headshooting a regular guy to kill him
>>724303690Gear 2.0 was like before WNYC even released: Your stashed lvl 30 gear is irrelevant anyhow (aside from saving maxed stats into the library). Getting from 30 to 40 takes like an afternoon or two, and then the game starts for real.
>>724305105>survivorsAre they finally bringing back the kino survival mode from the first game?
>>724308861Yeah, they're working on it at least. No release date so far.
>>724300128nice
>>724281367I'm currently playing div 1 and it is an incredibly mid game. i feel absolutely nothing while playing it
>>724304145
>>724309180Seems like a (You) problem: A couple of buddies bought it out of nowhere this summer because they wanted a co-op game, so I joined in to replay it for the first time since ~late 2016. One of the main things that struck me was how challenging the game actually was, even when playing through the story mode level-up campaign. Our group wiped several times and had to employ real goddamn OPR8R tactics to try to cheese through some of the mission end fights.It was actually pretty refreshing to have a game grit your teeth.
>>724309228>healthbars on the good guys
>>724304145Almost every single main character is a brown woman or nig.
Is it easy to find someone to play with as a new player
i'll give it a shot after work

>>724313181Yes and no. Level cap is 40 so from 1-39 it's pretty much a ghost town, but if you skip to 40 or once you get to 40 there's plenty of people playing. You can set it so your lobby is public and people will just drop in while you're in the open world or you can specifically matchmake for stuff.
>>724313181Everyone's been max level'd for the past 5+ years, so you'll have no luck trying to matchmake the missions that the campaign consists of. But! Fortunately Massive's done a pretty good job with the multiplayer/co-op element of the game so even forever alone you can send up a flare and call for help (command in the SHD tab of the map). This will alert other players "an agent needs assistance" and will load into your world instance for some co-op. This 'Shepherd' system works by giving the assisted player, i.e. (You), a popup after shepherds have completed a major objective, or enough xp if just running around cleaning up central D.C.ACTIVATE THIS POPUP! Nothing is as fucking thankless as spending tons of time helping people that just suddenly leave the group... High-lvl players will often drop some 40-lvl loot to poor low-lvl newbies, that can be sold for some decent cash which enables you buy up-to-date gear at vendors (the gear starts scaling something fierce past lvl ~20 and needs to be changed basically every other lvl).'Open Group' that >>724314309 mentioned is also a neat solution: ESC menu->Social menu->clicking the group bar above the names of party membersI'd say the game truly comes into its own when playing with other people, so if you've got an acquaintance willing to tag along on the sale that is truly recommended: It's most fun to discover and explore the game along with someone you can talk to, and holy fuck there's a lot to explore. I STILL find shit I've never seen before in some random back alley, after playing the game for 7+ years...
Another group of players! Brace for PVP!
>>7243142184/5, the OPR8R outfit and color scheme are on point. But the crucial question remains:>what's your build?>>724315359Well, if you go into the DZs you're basically on your own so that's not unexpected. Fun stuff is when you get ambushed by rogues as soon as you leave the safe house... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JopSbRJsCiM
>>724315640>what's your build?I have 15 of 16 loadout slots saved but the one I like the most is probably a ND rifle build using Boomerang and Killer with the Tinkerer mask.
I wish they continued to invest in and develop the extraction mode from division 1. Was actually original but they gave it up to tarkov to become the de-facto extraction game
>>724314218Where is this in game?
>>724316146Pentagon lobby
>>724281367If I want a mil larp gun game, I'll just play nu-Ghost Recon.Speaking of which, when are you making a new one, Ubisoft?
>>724315729>rifle buildNeat. You don't see much of those any more, after Determined snipers started one-shotting everything on Heroic and below.>>724314047Yeah, the music is honestly incredible, both ambience- and combat-wise. And the WNYC expansion upped this (already high) ante a lot.
Is Ult edition worth it ?
>>724316410As someone with about 1200 hours in the game, I don't think it is any more. With them reworking how the DLCs work so they aren't mandatory for endgame any more I think you're better off getting the base game, and if you like it, getting the DLCs on sale later on down the line.
>>724316410>>724316498Ult Edition has the Year One pass, doesn't it? That's the only way to access the Classified Missions now, since (((Jewbisoft))) removed that as a buyable dlc... CMs are pretty neat and have a lot of extra content.
>>724281367Gameplay is fine, but typical Ubisoft jank. Some of the maps and locations are actually nice and I do like some of the missions. The thing that irritates me the most about this game is the amount of woman enemies. The game tries really hard to make them badass but its hard to take them seriously when the fodder just rushes in a straight line and the boss ones have extremely cringe dialogue. Which reminds me that it feels like a lot of sound files are missing because a lot of animations (especially emotes) are silent.
>>724316658Come on dude, when's the last time you actually played a classified mission? Yeah they're cool and everything but you're gonna play them once and then never touch them again.
>>724305814NTA, but one of the more fun builds is the shield and a crit pistol.
>>724316410I'd say it's worth the money, but absolutely not necessary. If you just want access to (just about) everything in the game the Gold edition is well enough.
2k hours here. My go-to relax comfortslop. It's not even slop it's a very solid game on its own, simply nothing like it. I underappreciated it at the time but years later, amidst the utter slop, I see how amazing the game actually is. Nothing better like coming home exhausted ,cracking open a cold one and doing a mission while the bombastic OST blasts. Absolute kino
>>724316498I already played the base game before (my map was invaded by ?tusk? guys then i think i quit the game sinc ei thought i finished the game at least it seemed to me like that since playing same map from before but dif enemies isnt gameplay for me.>>724316658>>724316743>>724316979The only thing that interests me in Ult is unlocking specialisations since fuck that grind

>>724318367
I had a lot of fun with this some years ago until I hit endgame and queued up for a raid, only to discover everyone is too retarded to learn raid mechanics to get anywhere.It's decent in a dungeon equivalent until you get to a mechanics-heavy boss fight but playing this solo only gets you so far. The thought of joining a clan of bros in this game sounded awful.I thought about coming back to it but fuck Ubisoft.

You guys are making me want to check this. I'll consult the price history and then decideI'm only interested for the SP, so if I'm making a mistake, say it already
>>724320851>do not allow yourselves to be addicted...
>>724325468pray that I've stored up enough overkill damage stored up with my chainkiller/determined build to one-shot them
>>724326043You'll easily get 40-100 hours out of the 7 dollarydoos base game, so hardly any mistakes made. The game is pretty fun with an ok gameplay even on your own but it doesn't get too exciting until you reach the Invasion part of the campaign or become able to play on higher difficulties: McGyvering your own build with what you have available is part of the charm.Once you reach lvl 40 you can freely matchmake with other players (everyone's running missions on Heroic), there's a matchmaking tab on the map where you can group for special activities.
>>724326043>so if I'm making a mistake, say it alreadyIts a Ubisoft game with forced Uplay, if that doesn't constitute a mistake to you then go right on ahead, you'll be entertained by anything anyway.

>>724327621Ah, the Path of Exile approach.
My brain has been itching for some 3rd person shooter slop and this thread has convinced me to finally go for this.My only question is how is the character customization in this? I love some good tactical helmets/face gear/masks and shit.
>>724329790It'll take a while to get hold of it all, but there are literal tons of cosmetics and customizations. Not only can you dress up your dude but you can dye/"transmogrify" your armor pieces.The game also adds new cosmetics pretty regularly in special events. For 1-2 weeks ahead you can get stuff from hunting down a special Halloween character.
>>724329790You can have 16 outfits saved and I have all of them filled up with imo pretty unique looks and if they gave me more slots I could probably fill up another 10 or so.
>>724305235time to upgrade your pc bro
>>724309180I refunded div 1 but loved div 2. They're different games besides the genre honestly.
>>724314218You look like that crazy bitch from alpha protocol.
>>724284764I don't even really typically play anime games but I still cannot believe there's no tactical fps/tps gun porn anime game. If anyone copied battlefield or cod or division or insurgency or even some dogshit extraction shooter but anime I'd play the shit out of it even though I dislike cod/extraction. Strinova is awful.
>>724332559I think there is one that's close, but I wouldn't use tactical, just the rest. I forgot its name. Lemme see if I can find it
>>724314218Here's my gal and her (surprisingly decent) meme build
>>724320563It's fucking funny how the Hyenas are the most normal and sympathetic. They're just hedonists and petty criminals in the apocalypse. If they didn't harass random survivors nobody would really care. I guess they have some particularly bad eggs like Coyote though.True Sons: Literal traitors lead by a corporalOutcasts: Rightfully aggrieved people who took things wayyyyyy too farCleaners: Started as a good idea but got too used to burning humans aliveRikers: Hardened criminals, not much to say about thisLMB/Black Tusk: PMCs who "were only following orders"
>>724332875too many blue cores for my taste but if it works for you more power to you
>>724332789I just used tactical as a meaningless buzzword, I'm basically talking about FPS games that lean really heavily into high quality gun animations/sfx/customization and overall feedback from using them.
500h here. I enjoyed it. I haven't played in a very long time and haven't touched Brooklyn. But I still think about it and it's the only reason I keep jewbisoft launcher installed.I like the loot system, especially targeted loot. Making a build is pretty easy and you can get semblance of what you're going for pretty easy. Gear "refining" and "tuning" could use a tweak I say, cuz otherwise it's a lot of shit to sift thru before you get something that fits."Dungeons" are pretty good, but lack variety and might be a chore on repeated replays.As an anti-social tard, I've never touched a raid or an incursion (raid "complexity" but for small team). Same goes for PvP. Few times that I tried DZ I got absolutely dunked on by people who took no damage and OHKO'd me in an instant. And regular PvP seems unnecessary.One thing I want note: try setting women enemies on fire. True Sons grenadiers are all female and their purses are always exposed so yeah. It's not that I get off to it, but it tickles me just right.Also yeah, anime division fucking when? I guess the best we can hope for is chink shit. Maybe they can steal some talent and use all that gacha money like nigge dudes did with Stallar Blade.>>724320563>mission isn't considered complete until the end of the "le mama bear" ECHO>timer keeps ticking
Last time I played D2 was before the cleaner dlc came out, and I heard at some point they nerfed shotguns.Is that still the case? I think it's on sale so tempted to pick it on PC instead of playing on console.
>>724333474I don't recall any like sweeping shotgun nerf or anything, they aren't super strong, I think most people favor SMGs for close range, but they're not like unusable or anything.
>>724330331
>>724333729He just chillin, waiting for the chopper
>>724333251I got the idea from the Hollywood Global Event: Blowing literally everything the fuck up with the flamethrower, and realized I didn't really need the skill tiers on the Eclipse Protocol gear set... All damage comes from the spec wep DoT, and it melts everything in seconds even in Heroic 4-mans (elites might survive with a sliver of health) and the spec ammo fills up faster than you can spend it. The only weaknesses are robots and heavies and the shield tanks the first one... while giving me at least time to soften up the second one.
>>724333575Fair enough then. I remember being at max level and appreciating that the shotguns could pretty decently pop the world enemies at close distance in one or two hits, I paired it up with the flamethrower.I might get it then. If nothing else I liked 2 as a "wandering around DC shooting people" simulator, the parties taking or holding control points in the open world were fun.
How much forced PvP is there and how much of the "fun" of the game is the PvP?
>>724334097It's honestly a great time to come back, they've added a lot of new stuff, have changed up how seasons work, and with division 3 being confirmed the devs have committed to keeping division 2 updates coming for the next couple years>>724334313all pvp is opt in. most people never play pvp.
>>724334376I mean I saw that they're planning on a survivors thing for 2, I never got round to trying that in 1 but I'll give it a go in 2.1 really did nail the atmosphere. 2 never lived up to that, BUT I appreciate 2 being actually 1:1 with DC in real life.
>>724334376>division 3 being confirmedSo there's no reason for me to get into 2 now instead of just waiting for 3 while playing other grind games?
>>724333474As >>724333575 said, Shotguns aren't a super strong weapon category: Slow RoF and inaccurate to the point of being unreliable. Scorpio used to be basically the only useable shotty in the game, but they've managed somewhat of a redemption arc for shotties in the past ~18 months. Scorpio is still great, XBAWKS-HUEG damage and crowd controlling everything in the game but its 3 minute reload has made it a more balanced weapon. Like Glue and Thorn actually do pretty good damage and there are a couple of autoshotties with alright talents.Most people do prefer full auto weapons that hit where you aim and isn't reliant on being within 15 meters to the target though.>>724334376This.
>>724333116I remember when The Division came out there were folks sperging out about how Division Cells were Death Squads because they can gun down people with impunity ignoring the fact that it's basically the apocalypse and armed groups that kill people on sight freely roam the streets.https://youtu.be/4jKsj345Jjw?si=T41tKSnwra2u8LP6>Looters will shoot you in the back for a can of beans>Rikers will also shoot you in the back for a can of beans or decide to kidnap you, rape your wife, and then slowly torture you because they have nothing better to do >Cleaners will burn you alive for sneezing in their vicinity >The LMB are pulling a Outer Heaven and are trying to turn Manhattan into their own city state and threaten to shoot civilians for walking late out at night
>>724334730We don't know a ton yet about how survival is going to work in 2, they're still working on it right now apparently.>>724334824Confirmed in the sense that they've just started working on it, so if you don't mind waiting 3 or 4 years then yeah.
>>724334880Literally everyfuckingone you gun down fully deserved it.>>724334824Bruh, they started working on it 3 months ago. It'll be done in 2029 at best.
>>724335065My favorite part is that they try to claim that the rioters are supposed to be based off black stereotypes because they wear hoodies even though it's the middle of winter
>>7243348243 is a minimum 2 years away and probably more.
>>724334880I think the only innocent you can kill in 2 is the loot goblin. And he's there for the purpose and we don't actually know if he's innocent.
>>724334880>CleanersOne of the strongest faction aesthetics in vidya.Fun to fight too, what with their humorously oversized weakpoints and spectacular results of shooting them.
>>724335518
>>724335449Fun fact, a lot of people don't know this because they just insta nuke him when he shows up, but if you don't kill the loot goblin and instead follow him when he runs away he'll lead you into an ambush. So I'm gonna say not innocent lol
>>724335449>loot goblin>"""innocent"""Nigger starts shooting you in the back with his pistol as soon as he sees you, and if you let him run away he'll lead you into an ambush set up by his LARPer pals.I'd kill him even if he wasn't loaded with loot.
>ubisoftI don't want to spend money on this just to have the servers shut down in a month. Are there any similar games, preferably single player?
>>724335998division 2 and siege are the two things ubi has that are actually making a profit, it's not shutting down any time soon
>>724335518What really annoys me about that shitty Extra Credits video is that they go>You see the Cleaners kill people, and The Division kills people. So their both literally the sameYeah expect the SHD aren't going burn you alive for coughing too loud or try to immolate a homeless camp
>>724335720>>724335939Fair enough, I never let him get that far, had no idea.
>>724335998You can play it in singlemplayer and it's worth way more than the 7 bucks I got it for. Absolute steal
>>724301667weird tangent, anime is older than you are
>>724336586I'm 99.9% sure it'll be gone when they turn off the servers.
>>724325468>Coolest Enemy ever created in VydiaDamn Ubisoft really fell off. The Hunters are the only enemy you piss your pents when you faced them, especially the first time in Div 1, especially in the Underground. Utter GigaChad design.
>>724336649which will not happen next month
>>724336649>7 bucks >When they turn off the serversI wish I could award pairs like this Clown Awards. They aren't turning off the servers off soon, it's literally the only original and somewhat successful IP Ubisoft still has after the last 5 years of shitting the bed. Believe it or not, but plenty of people still play it and aren't going to stop anytime soon, there is simply NOTHING remotely like it on the market. It's just cool as fuck and relaxing, challenging enough for every skill level from FPS-fag to after-work-dads.
So should I get the first one or the second one?
>>7242813671 > 2 any day of the week. 2 doesn't even have kino modes like Survival.
>>724337096The second one. The first one is genuinely a good game and if you like the second you might want to pick it up, but it's very clearly on its last legs.
>>724337042>They aren't turning off the servers off soonFirst game is almost a decade old. It's definitely dying soon.
>>724329790>how is the character customization>>724330331>there are literal tons of cosmeticsthe state of /v/
>>724337096Both. Play through the campaign of the first one , play survival if you're lucky and then go grind 2. Took me about 1k hours to experience everything game had to offer. Endgame is way better in 2
>>724337042>S-Steam could be turned off TOMORROW!!! All our vidya, lost forever! Uh-huh. Next you're gonna go into a soapbox spiel about how the West has fallen, right?
>>724335518>>724335585Cleaners aesthetics were so cool. They were the real face of The Division.
>look up gameplay trailer on Steami was led to believe this was cold kino
>>724337409? Seems like wrong reply
>>724337460Them and agent Mia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJeJe_AKuwg
>>724337549That's the first one, the second one is set in the summer.
>>724337357>how is the character customization in this? I love some good tactical helmets/face gear/masks and shit.he's obviously talking about cosmetics
>>724337729the point is /v/ used to mock cosmeticsnow we let shills hype up the cosmetics and no one calls them faggots
>>724337623>the second one is set in the summerThen whats the point? It looks like every other shooter except they added film grain to cover up the shit art direction
>>724338432No, /v/ "used to" mock paying for cosmetics.
>>724338432TF2 called. It told you tourists to stop trying to get up on your shortbus high horses on a Mongolian basket weaving forum for CP.
What's in the demo? Do i need dlcs?
>>724336649>>724337357>>724338432>>724338601>no-game IDF and grievance farman patrol has arrived
Are there literal mountains of body bags like in Div 1? That shit was pretty cool.
>>724339585It's been half a year since the outbreak, so the visuals and atmosphere are more post-fall of society rather than an ongoing apocalypse. No mountains of bodybags but you can find literal buildings of stacks of plastic coffins meant to be put into mass graves in a few of the parks and DZs.
>>724339805These last DZ locations were fucking peak.
>>724339585in some places yeah
There should be a prequel set during the initial outbreaks running through the gradual collapse of society, a Year Zero if you will.
>>724334880I can't remember now if it was an ECHO in 1 or WONY, but there's one where a first wave agent is under attack in an unwinnable engagement but if he retreats he'll be branded as rogue because it goes against his orders. It's Ubisoft's fault for locking that shit behind some completely random ECHO in a house, but I never understood why people single out Divsion for glorifying the idea of spooks doing whatever they want when the games explicitly show they have to work with existing goverment and civilians or else they get branded as rogue and in fact they don't have ENOUGH freedom which is why the first wave in Manhattan failed
>>724338601Lol there is no film grain in the game kid, try watching an actual gameplay vid instead of a 7 year old magazine image that has been degraded 10 times. The map is great because it's practically a 1:1 reproduction of DC.
Fuck it. I'll get both games with all the dlc. I hate giving money to Ubioft, but this thread is hyping me up
>>724326803>>724326902Good enough for me. Thanks!
>>724342665division 2 is the last time ubi actually gave a fuck, it's worth it
dont get the dlc it fucking sucks and is disappointing
>>724342665The first game is like the comfiest snow level ever made. Deserted Christmasish NYC as a setting is mondo kino
>>724342665out of all the giant game publishers i feel like ubi is the least terriblei have no interest in assassins creed but other than that they let a lot of series i like get made
>>724338601It's not fall? Fuck that you're right what's the point I literally would've got it if it were Autumn. I see battle for Brooklyn looks fall but that's only dlc
>>724342764Do you even know which games the thread is about or are you just parroting the script?
>>724316410ultimate is just gold with cosmetics, id skip
>>724336615ur mom is older than u r bitch
>>724343961owned
>>724302985the great downgrade!
>>724281367Is this worth playing at in single player? I'm looking for something low investment and a looter shooter that isn't called borderlands sounds just about right.
>>724345260>Is this worth playing at in single player?I put a good 30 hours into the single player so I would say yeah.
>>724343252>my full yellow-ass when I see huntersOn top of having their own gadgets. They don't just scramble your shit, they hack you shit. Fucking diamond, I swear. I hope ANNA is stronker.Same goes for full red. Like, what the fuck? Game really wants you to go blue if you go solo.
