Destiny has inspired developers to rethink how a shooter came be made and for the upcoming open-world game Tom Clancy's The Division, folks have drawn parallels between the two titles.

Excited to play this. Actually happy it is not out quite yet, too many good game right now.

ChronoJoe3804d ago

Considering Ubisoft's Siege is a broken mess right now, I would temper those expectations.

WoshJills3804d ago

I haven't tried the PC version, but on PS4 the game is a broken mess.

- It constantly freezes.
- You can get stuck in place from the collision detection.
- The matchmaking dramatically slows and freezes once you add a fourth player.

So it's a team-based, multiplayer-only game whose multiplayer doesn't work once you get a team.

I disagree about it being a broken mess. I play on ps4 and haven't had many problems. Some disconnects but not many, and ingame has been flawless.

ChronoJoe3803d ago

The game hard crashes.
When the game is busy, no matches give you reputation.
Matchmaking with a party of 3 or 4 can take in excess of ten minutes.
You often get stuck on a 'smokey screen' due to a matchaking error, forcing a reboot

In games people have recently discovered how to exit the defensive area, and are killing the attacking players before they spawn.

Sometimes when you are downed, you clip through the environment, falling through floors of the building.

You often get stuck in place, forcing you to go prone to move again. This happens after rappelling.

I like how nothing in this article says The Division will differ from Destiny other than "grounded in reality".

Who gives a flying crap about reality in a video game?

How will it differ from a GAMEPLAY perspective?
How will it differ from a story telling perspective?
How will it differ from a group matching perspective?
How will it differ from the loot grinding perspective?
How will it differ from the quantity of activities perspective?

Grounded in reality? Really? That's worthy of a freaking article???

Elwenil3804d ago

I am more interested in how it will differ from a greed perspective. Or how about from a "value for my money" perspective?

pompombrum3804d ago

His response was about as basic as it gets.. the setting is different, well duh! I just hope Ubi have learned from Bungie's mistakes with Destiny and actually release a fully fledged MMO. As good as Destiny currently is, it has always felt like a half baked MMO to me where they borrow from MMOs but never fully develop the features outside of the gear grind.

TimelessDbz3804d ago

You will not get a full fledged MMO with a one time buy of $60. You will get content updates like other shooter.

JoeMcCallister3804d ago

I think Destiny is just the easiest comparison, like the author said near the end there. I can agree that the "grounded in reality" stuff is really cool and adds that gravity, especially how it's a scenario that's plausible. I love the idea of christmas decorations being left up, and NY being spooky when empty. Still very excited for this one, and hoping to see that Ubisoft sparkle again - which coincidentally I'm seeing a bit of going back to AC Syndicate.

Ubi servers sucks.. they're not doing great in Rainbow Six.

Saijahn3804d ago

i believe that game is using peer to peer rather than a dedicated server so that explains a lot.

BigBosss3804d ago

Honestly, despite the graphical downgrade, still looking forward to this game, it has potential.
