Have you played The Division lately?

Bored with Destiny? Waiting until Bungo let's you mass delete shaders a year from now? Waiting for all of the things you had in D1 to come back to D2 after 1-2 more paid expansions? Have you played The Division lately, especially after Update 1.8? If you haven't, do yourself a favor and check it out. Yeah, I know; The Division was bad at launch, maybe even worse than D1. Every enemy was a massive bullet sponge and the endgame was terrible. It took a long time for the game to shape up. At release I paid for the Gold Edition, quit after 3-4 weeks and never touched it again until 10 days ago. I got burned. Some of you are hoping Bungie transforms D2 into the game we were all expecting. Given a few years, maybe they will. [b]However, that miracle you're all hoping Bungie pulls off for D2 has already occurred for The Division.[/b] It's a completely different game from the one at launch, and there's so much endgame content that you literally won't know where to start once you get there. -[b][u]The story and dialogue?[/u][/b] Actually aimed at adults, not children. -[b][u]Collectables.[/u][/b] Miss collecting dead ghosts? The Division has hundreds of collectables, such as audio tapes, drone footage, phone calls, etc. that add to the lore and atmosphere of the game. Guess what? They're also in the game and accessible at any time after you've collected them. Meanwhile, Bungo could never figure out a way to incorporate the Grimoire. -[b][u]Micro-transactions?[/u][/b] Not even a tiny bit as intrusive as D2. It's only for weapon and clothing skins, and guess what? 99% of it is virtually thrown at you as you play the game. The best looking gear is acquired in game, not in a store. [u]It's how micro-transactions should be.[/u] You could never visit the in-game store and be perfectly fine. It's not shoved in your face like Eververse, it's actually put in a dark corner in your base that's out of the way. It's opposite to the approach of Bungo. -[b][u]Bullet sponges?[/u][/b] Once you're well-geared, everything is easy to kill outside of bosses/hunters. Unlike Destiny, gear actually matters. Which brings me to the next point. -[b][u]Gear.[/u][/b] You miss grinding for god rolls in D1? The Division will scratch that itch. Gear matters. You can get 10 sets of the same gloves, but they could all be different due to stat/level/armor rolls. Unlike Luke Smith, Division figured out how to make your 10th Better Devils matter. -[b][u]Recalibration.[/u][/b] Did you finally get a particular weapon to drop, only to realize it's perfect in every way except for 1 talent? Good news: Division has a "recalibration" station, which let's you customize 1 stat/talent on your guns or armor. -[b][u]Appearance customization.[/u][/b] The Division let's you change your character's face/tattoos/accessories at any time, [b]for free[/b]. Give Bungo another couple of years and they'll sell you the option for $9.99 a pop. After you buy the $40 expansion it comes with, of course. -[b][u]Expansions.[/u][/b] The Division's expansions are awesome, but also [b]completely optional[/b]. You don't need them to participate in endgame or to get any of the gear. I highly recommend them, especially Underground after the latest revamp (equivalent to Destiny's Infinite Forest, but released over a year sooner and done 100 times better). -[b][u]Community engagement.[/u][/b] Massive, the developer, holds weekly "State of the Game" videos for The Division. They not only listen to their playerbase, [b]but they actually act on it[/b]. Unlike Bungie, it's not just lip service. The game has been transformed precisely because the developers communicate and engage with their playerbase. Now the game is seeing a resurgence due to those efforts. Give the game a shot. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't. I'm on Xbox and the playerbase is as lively as ever, and the same goes for the other two platforms. If you're on PC, the graphics are on the next level. Interested? Here's some good info to check out: -Updated review by SkillUp.
