The Division - early reports

I wasn't too sure if it's a MMORPG, but seeing the reviews it actually seems to be one. So here you go.

Thanks Jaz.

This is the tragedy of Ubisoft. Their modelling of cities is phenomenal, they just don't waste too much energy on the "game" part.

Same story with Primal.
They went an extra mile to create a Language for the game (http://www.idigitaltimes.com/far-cr...ft-brought-ancient-languages-back-life-513075) , but forgot to add block feature for combat.

According to Ubi's blog this game is selling like a cure and made bigger numbers than their previous recorder. Which was Watch Dogs. And was overhyped piece of shit. And I was one of those who bought it back then.

I just hope I'm not seeing a new Destiny case here. A game so bad and so pathetic yet constantly spawning articles on gaming sites instead of being ignored.
Not saying gaming sites should have writen daily about PoE, TW3 and FO4 but with so many games out there I just cannot understand global obsession with one of the worst ones that ever existed.

On the graphics front, I think Ubi's water simulation is by far the best I've seen. Watchdog's water still sets the benchmark, IMO. Really atmospheric.

Extremely fun with one caveat, you need to group up to 'get it'.

I personally don't usually like socialising in games, but this actually works really well here: everything has matchmaking (Destiny should of done this), and it works really well on PC.

I'm not saying he's the best possible reviewer out there, but one thing is sure, no company can buy him.
A quote that sums it up for me:

As far as glitches go, The Division is a goldmine. I’ve encountered as many ridiculous problems here as I did with Assassin’s Creed Unity, including the classic case of falling through the floor and getting caught in an empty void underneath. This has happened multiple times, to the point where I’ve even had to abandon co-op play because of it.
