Just got to 30 last night and I'm really impressed with the division 2. Loading is well hidden so it seems like you are pretty much always in the game. Loot is so abundant I was constantly trying new items and mods and breaking down or selling stuff. Matchmaking and enemy scaling seemed quick and great. Stable as any thing I've ever played, I'm on Xbox so ymmv. Best part is I'm not even close to done. Still a lot on my map including the stronghold. Still a bunch of skills to try out and apparently the black tusk faction re take territory.

The division 2 is what was promised for division 1 nothing new watch the first trailer for division 1 you will see

1. Actually the game has lots of loading screens. Massive is just **very good** at hiding them. You get loading screens whenever you fast travel.....and you're also getting loading screens every time the game is having you either ride in an elevator or go up or down ladders or ropes. 2. The first Division game actually launched with MORE stability problems and glitches than Anthem did...and it took Massive MUCH longer to fix them. The Divison 2 is a SEQUEL....so massive had three years of live time with The Division to smooth out all the problems. So comparing a three year old franchise to a brand new one is just silly. 3. What "level mechanics"?? 4. The Division 2 deserves the praise its getting for three reasons a. Massive stuck with The Division and fixed all of its problems when they could have "taken the money and ran". b. Massive turned to their community to ask them what kind of game we wanted to play. They LISTENED to us. ACTED on what we told them and THEN ASSESSED the accuracy of what they'd done (BUNGIE). So the last 2 years was basically a giant beta test for the sequel. c. They applied all that they learned from overhauling the first game....applied it to the sequel...and then BUILT upon it creatively. So you have a game that is very interesting blend of shooter game....loot game....and open-world RPG that makes SENSE as an open world game. Anthem has its problems....but BioWare is fixing them fast...and doing MANY of the same "right things" that Massive did in turing The Division franchise into what we see now. Actually of the three companies, I'd say that Bungie in the most precarious position. They are fighting with their customers....ignoring feedback...and focusing on giving us new things to do. But largely ignoring giving us new things to chase.

I’m enjoying it so far, but it’s impossible to say at this point how much I’ll like the endgame, which is really all that matters. They’ve added 8 man raids this time around, so I’m hoping that’s a worthwhile addition. Didn’t really care for the “incursions” in Division 1. I played Division 1 for over 500 hours, and all within the first 3-4 months it was out. If I get even half of that out of this game I’ll be happy. I do have to say that the smaller and separated dark zones seem like a negative for me. The first game I spent most of my time -blam!-ing with people in the dark zone. Most people didn’t like it, but I thought it was great. I really hope the smaller zones don’t mean the DZ will have reduced importance this time around.

Is there anything new in the game or is it more a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type situation?

It's a pretty good game but dang does it feels lonely and boring at times... that is just me I know but a post-apocalyptic setting with modern weapons and all feels kinda meh to me. The game is very well done and I'm sure fans are happy about it but I just can't get into it! Maybe it's the setting since I've always love sci-fi/fantasy. Anyone else feels the same? Also I can't get used to the confusing UI. I'm sure it makes sense in the long run but damn is it clustered with info.

They only had 4+ years of feedback and they are not Bungie. Right there should automatically make it better.

I absolutely love it. I am one of the people that pre ordered it to play it early and I love it. I dont even think that I am half way through the content and its been 2 days lol. I cant wait until I hit level 30 and try to make my build. Upgrading the settlements is so much fun and seeing the upgrade is even better... at least for me lol. Upgrading stuff and seeing it improve is my favorite thing in games. I have only ran into 1 glitch and it was a ladder glitch, I just had to restart my game and then take a different way down. The only thing I would change is the movement system, I am not a fan of the Ghost Recon Wildlands Movement feel. Division 1 has an AMAZING feel to it but Division 2 kinds of feels too loose and smooth if that makes any sense... but that honestly isnt a big deal once you get use to it.

All irrelevant when the gameplay is boring. Sci-fi looter shooters > realistic looter shooters

Am I the only one getting annoyed with the phrase, "looter shooter?"

I'm hyped! https://www.mmorpg.com/mobile/features.cfm?read=13473&game=1556&ismb=1

Sounds good from what I've heard but they were only talking about the story missions. Haven't heard about endgame. Bought it yesterday so I'll soon know.

Thank god it’s turned out ok, I’m looking forward to playing it tomorrow
