Call me mad then, I loved the first game for all its flaws and you cant knock massive/ubisofts support for the game. I never found the game unplayable at any point even if at some points you were forced into a way of playing.
Grindfest? its a loot game kill, loot, repeat what are you expecting?
I just don't know what some people want, I have a friend who has over 800hrs logged on division and calls the game a rip off, you played it for 800 hrs what do you want out of a game?
Totally agree with you. A new IP from Ubi and it gets torn to shreds, seems no game pleases anyone these days... Wheres the show of support for the community?
For all its flaws, the Division is an enjoyable and challenging game. RNG is frustrating but isn't that the whole point of a gambling type system? You win some you lose some.
I remember games coming out on the SNES, PS, N64, Dreamcast and PS2 but to name a few and no-one and I mean literally no-one had such bad things to say. If they were bugged - they were bugged and you worked around them, you didn't whine or complain because you knew they couldn't be fixed. Games were often miles shorter than the games of today and yet no-one complained there was so little to do. I used to love waking up on a Saturday and firing up GTA2 on the PS to blast through all the scenarios in a matter of a few hours - never once was I bored even though I knew all the scenarios word for word.
Perhaps the worst thing to ever happen to games was fast consumer grade Internet. Games can be patched remotely and this means publishers are pushing the developers timescales forward to get the ££ in the bank.
