Should You Play The Division 2 in 2024? | The Division 2

[@cyrilpham9992]

So still no survival mode after all these years? That mode was a miracle for The Division 1 ngl

[@yerz]

Survival mode was the most fun ive had in a game in a long time. I remember before d2 came out, massive did a poll on what game modes players would like to see in the upcoming game (D2). I remember writing a paragraph stating why survival was awesome and why i loved playing it so much. Just for them to ignore it in the end and waste their time on other nonsense lol. Good riddance i guess.

I just picked up Divison 2 where I left off several years ago after only completing about half of the base campaign, and I dont know how I ever lost interest in this game. I LOVE just roaming around the open world and encountering enemies. Some of the more recently released games I have played just haven't scratched that itch, so it's cool to see that the devs are still supporting this game 5 years later. I'm looking forward to playing through all the content I have missed out on!

Someone that's never played it, then yes, yes, you should play it. The first 30 and now 40 levels are brilliant, starting with zero items and money trying out new gear and skills for the first time. This is what the game is all about, but.... once you have that sweet set up with guns and gear, you've done all the missions and got to end game for me, end game becomes just a grind to find something better but you've completed everything or played each game mode and after, you find the rewards are just not worth it.

[@bemeek]

If you’re new…. yes. Amazing game. DON’T SLEEP ON IT! If you’ve played, completed the expansion, done the raids… no. It’s a waste. Came back after two years and still ran the table with a full-red Baker’s Dozen and Chameleon build. Even helped senior veteran Grock guys in weekly raids and activities.

I play TD2 because of the "search and rescue" feature. Answering civilian distress signals and gathering supplies to settlements in need makes this game replayable even after beating the game. I wish I could serve and help others and be trained for this kind of stuff to help rescue civilians in hostile territories. In the army, you dont do what you want, you do what your told. No disrespect to our troops. I just wish they didnt have to take orders that may conflict with their conscience and have that respected.

Been playing this game solo in 2024 and its one of the most immersive games I've ever experienced. Story, lore...its all there. I dont give AF about PvP so I just stay out of the red zones. Even the side missions have HUGE story reveals. I wish more looter shooters made their worlds matter this much. Can't wait to finish and then jump to Division 2.

[@VisionOfConfluence]

Its a free game on PS extra. As newcomers we spend a couple of days on this game last week. Its a nice shooter and the graphics and story are pretty good for an older game but the economics are unnecessarily complicated. We found ourselves staring at the library and tinkeringstation for hours 😅 the best Loot needs some grinding but you never seem to get what you really realy want. In the dark zones we encountered lots of toxic people who who were determined to kill us even when we had nothing to give anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe if they simplefy some things and have a more positive community id pick up a part 3 ✌🏻

it seems that lack of content is also apparent in this video. "what is the division?" how often now? ...and what nobody talks about, while complaining about the lack of content (which I might have done myself), there are books on that very subject. it would be a role play, I admit, but hell, it should get one in the mood for division. that also should answer the question: is there any content left for devs to create.

[@joshbreaux5475]

Do you suggest playing the first one before this one? Just got back into gaming after a 10 year hiatus, i bought a carbon black since im on a budget. So far the only game i have is new world aeternum and cant seem to get into, basically a waste of money on my part. So looking for something else to play and was looking at videos of this, but should i play division 1 first?

[@ThatAbrax]

I would say it depend on your reason for wanting to play. If you want story, lore and world building I'd highly recommend playing The Division 1 first. But if you're looking for community and people to play with, the majority of players will be playing The Division 2. Either way, both games are very worth your time in my opinion and both have their prices reduced heavily on a regular basis. Hope that helps!

Well, in my point of view; Division is the best product Ubisoft ever made in last ten years. It’s very sad to see almost all their games fell down and down. Bad PR, caring over way too much for Far Cry, AC (Already dead games and nobody likes em?) Hope they bring Division 3 in next years, love the team who was behind it, can’t imagine how good it’d be with 2025 condutions. Division 2 still looking better than 90% of new games out there. 😂

[@Murdeah]

Far Cry isn't "dead" at all and there will always be an audience for it. It's one of the best open world sandbox series around. Fans just had a mixed reception over the last game. Wasn't universally hated by fans, just felt it was lacking in certain ways to the rest of the series. Far Cry 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all near perfect games. AC has so many games and still one of the most famous games ever made. I never played Division 2 or 1 cuz I haven't had a console in years so unfortunately this is my first time really playing it with not many players on. Which really urks me because I genuinely really love the game and would love to grind with more players as well as play the pvp. Also yeah, it really is looking better than a lot of new games its really impressive how it's stood the test of time. Even gameplay wise I'm just hooked and really like the story. As a new fan, I really really hope they make a 3 someday.

You can customise elements of the UI but the armour, health and ammo counters next to your character can't be moved. It's something that you do get use too and actually comes in pretty hand at a glace being central.

@@IslamMohamed-k3s I don't remember the best cuz it's been a while now, either it is you need to reach like level 30 or clear the main campaign before going if you already purchased the New York content, an easy confirm method is creating a new character and try initiate the game in New York it it allows it then you have it.

[@culguyvegeta]

Should you play this game in 2024 - Answer is a flat out, NO. With over 500 hours in this game, the game is a grind fest at best and doesn't have a clear identity in what it needs to be. It's a cover based shooter, but you can run and gun. is it an MMO? No, as it relies heavily on it's RPG mechanics. The developers themselves have abandoned this game. The people that made this game aren't even onboard anymore. If you really wanna play the division, I'd recommend Division 1. At least it still has the love and atmosphere that has long left this sequel.

[@NorthWolfe]

If the game continues to go "Woke" and to cater to children, NO! I assure you I have put in at least as many hours as you have. I was a beta tester for The Division and Division 2, however, in these last two years, besides the lack of content, the game started catering to "rainbow social warriors" and to childish events, such as this summer event with a gay cowboy outfit and a water gun as prises. They might as well have called it "BrokeAss Mountain"'. I also demand to have a mature game, aimed at mature players, and with a dark themed colour pallet, as it always has been until recently. If I wanted to play one of those childish games with 20,000 colours popping up on my screen, I wouldn't be playing Division 2. Also, Ubisoft has to be remembered, constantly, that they are the preservers of a legacy left by a great man, who would be horrified by certain things being done to the game. Mr Clancy went from being a travelling salesman to becoming one of the best military analysts for two Presidents of the United States, aside from all the books and articles, fiction and factual, that he wrote over the years, he also left behind a team of writers, both military and from the alphabet agencies, to develop all the ideas he didn't have time to develop, the Division being one such project. Ubisoft also needs to be told, because they too are at fault, that Massive no longer has the ethical will to be handling a legacy of realistic games, nor do they have the capacity to maintain and develop this game. Massive should be closed for incompetence and everyone there fired for very low moral standards. This rant was necessary due to a Studio that is running a game for six years not being able to even remove bugs we detected in the betas. Six years and everything is bugged, is that acceptable? Their response is to play childish games, fix glitches that benefit the players, appeal to a woke crowd that does not play these types of games, and attempt to attract a crowd that likes childish games. So, a gay cowboy uniform and a red water gun are their ideas of content for a game that keeps resurrecting people I killed on numerous occasions. What next? A zombie-mode clone? All this in a game where almost everything is bugged or not working as intended, that still has three Dark Zones, which were supposed to be temporary, and that hasn't had any new content for years. Get Massive out of there now? How many more years do they need? Most of the loyal community, at this point, would not mind paying AAA prices for a few DLCs with new content, Cheers.

"woke" is when there's water guns and silly outfits in my video game.
