The Division seems to be the most jarring "love it"/"hate it" game that I've seen thus far because I've seen nothing but praise from some (And, mind you, these people are quick to call BS), meanwhile nothing but scorn from others.
Because it is my own opinion, I didn't say that it is bad they like it I just said my opinion. There is no reason to get all mad about it.Michael Prymula said:I think this a pretty good game, but I knew Yahtzee wouldn't like it. I hope he reviews Rainbow Six Siege next week and tears it a new asshole for being such a rip-off.Why do you care so much if other people like the game? How does that affect you personally? I think Far Cry Primal looks a boring shitfest, but i'm not going to insult people for liking it.Jeremiah Payne said:If your partner keeps snoring while you are trying to sleep tell them to stop playing the Division...
Seriously I went to watch a livestream of this game, was bored of all of the game ideas within 5 minutes of watching it so I asked what the streamer said they liked about it. They replied "It has survival aspects that makes it different than most shooters" to which I replied what are they, "Oh you have to go get items for civilians to survive off, plus you have to craft what you need to progress"...
JUST PLAY ANY OTHER SHOOTER OR SURVIVAL GAME YOU ALREADY OWN THEN!!!
Rant over.
Oh, so that's what the Ubisoft logo is meant to be...! The more you know!Yahtzee Croshaw said:An endless swirling vortex that absorbed all joy and interest from its surroundings
By the industry average? Yes. By the Halo average not so much though. In fact I think I saw some people argue that it was the weakest entry in the series regarding sheer copies.Michael Prymula said:Halo 5 still sold well regardless though.erttheking said:I'm skeptical, considering that Ubisoft is saying the amount of money it made and not the number of copies it sold. When Halo 5 did this it turned out that it was counting the money made off of Xbox One bundles, and sure enough, similar bundles are being offered for the division.Adeptus Aspartem said:And apparently it's still Ubisofts best selling game ever. And people wonder about why the AAA industry behaves the way it does - because people buy the grey sludge anyway.
OT: Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the idea of secret government agents being prepared to take over sounded a little dodgy.
I'd play that, (Provided it's nothing like Call of Juarez the Cartel) if only because I'm tired of modern military shooters being so Americancentric.ravenshrike said:What's annoying is that you could have had a perfectly good storyline with the same basic elements. Instead of America, the game ould take place in Mexico. The Mexican government has collapsed under it's own corruption after somebody set off a large series of bombs throughout Mexico City and the surrounding states. So now the Narcos are trying to move in to the power vacuum. You are one of the people attempting to stop it. This allows for multiple character origins, ranging from DEA agent to tourist to poor bastard who actually lives in Mexico City who just got caught up in things on the first day at their new job. It also at least partially explains enemy progression as initially being random looters and opportunists before moving on to the Narcos themselves and then for endgame a fully Narco controlled part of the Mexican Army. Throughout the course of the game, supplies would come in, and eventually hireable allies, from various parties interested in sending money and supplies to your counterweight to the Narcos. Boom,a much better reason to be going out and slaughtering assholes in the same basic setting.
This can be turned around though. Just because people are happy with "grey sludge" doesn't mean it suddenly isn't "grey sludge".Michael Prymula said:Just cause it's "grey sludge" doesn't mean it is to everyone.Adeptus Aspartem said:And apparently it's still Ubisofts best selling game ever.

Ok. I thought the Post Office queue was funny, but this takes the cake. Maybe it's an Easter Egg, but I got the feeling that it isn't the case...Sewa_Yunga said:But Yahtzee, have you even looked at the emergency signs in this game?
