Division 2 for only $2.99 on all platforms ($5 for physical version)
- Thread starter Darknight
- Start date
Some people play full price for games for the experience to play that game right then and there. Also, the community of players at launch through the first few months had been incredible.
To be honest, the amount of shit Bungie put Destiny players through for years is nothing like what Ubi did to Division players. The difference is the Destiny players were more committed to the game. As soon as the Division 2 Raid hit the entire "community" ditched it because they botched it and then they botched the fix and it was further saddled with some delays to content.
Anyhow, hopefully this sale reinvigorates the playerbase to comeback. The problem is I see with games that are this cheap or even free to play is that their is a psychological aspect for some in that it's either a cheap game, or they don't really feel the need to invest much time into the game because the game itself was a small investment.

Yeah just remembered it's on epic store or something like that.
Imo, it was worth it before. The open world exploration and levelling is very, very good. Best in a GaaS and as a standalone experience wihttin that GasS experience is pretty fucking great.
If you like loot shooters, there is a lot of quality content here for people who don't enjoy GasS. If you do enjoy these games, here's even more. $3 is an absolute seal.
I don't live in either country and the deal is there for me. It's unfortunate it's not in your country/region, perhaps it will come, but I'm just saying it's not only in the US.
This is a terrible example to make that point... despite it having a lot of quality sp content, it is a year old GaaS game...
Oh I fully understand and agree for the most part.
In Division 1 case, I got it for $10 due to a pricing error, but was there pretty early on.
For Division 2, I waited about a month (maybe less) and it was already discounted 50%.
I will say, though, that I know nothing of Destiny.
Makes too much sense, especially when the sales have been flat for a while.

It's already leaked that they're announcing the Year 2 expansions today. That's probably the reason for the price drop.

Imagine 150 hours for $3 though... even at full price that was lot of hours for your money.
Yeah, but $3?
Like, whats the point for Ubisoft at that point? With the platform cuts, they are making like what? $2 a copy?
Just make it F2P at that point.
It's not global at $3 though, maybe they're testing the water?
I'm in the Caribbean which Ubisoft seems to regard as "South America"
There is hundreds of hours of content for $3. If you don't want to play the new content, you won't have to.
You ain't buying the 30 bucks season pass if you don't have the 3 bucks base game. Which means you also won't be tempted to buy the micro transactions in game, and if you aren't already in the loop of the community, you might not stick around for the next season or the next game.
Take a small loss right now, profit big down the line.
That's the play.
True but where the players at when they are in a completely different city with the new DLC.
Thats why I said originally that I wouldn't be surprised if this is going f2p later. (edit: ok, I didn't say that originally, but thats what I meant lol)
$3 is literally nothing for ubisoft.
Why even have any sort of barrier at all at that point?
With the way the game is designed, you don't need many players to make the levelling content work which is awesome in itself and well worth $3. And usually in games like this there are enough players to be found for older content... but even if that doesn't work out, the single player content you get for $3 is an absolute steal.
If any of you are on the fence. I put like 130 hours into this game at launch playing mostly by myself (Some of the missions I did group finder for and it was fine). Did PVP by myself. Did missions by myself. Everything.
I loved it, was a fucking blast. I ended up getting bored but after 130 hours I was happy to pay 60 bucks for it.
3 dollars is a fucking steal.

Fingers crossed! It's been on sale for a week on Xbox at £8.99 so I imagine they'd annoy a lot of people who already bought it in a sale if it now drops to £3.
I played a few hours of the first game and couldn't get in to it, then played the beta for D2 and it wasn't hooking me either so I never picked it up. I do love loot shooters, but a lot of the appeal to me is exploring a setting/world with good stories or characters which I wasn't finding here, and/or it's own interesting lore and I can't really get that from a military game in a realistic modern day setting. For that reason I've always secretly wished these games were in a cyberpunk setting to make them more interesting but that's here nor there. At $3 I'm willing to give it another try.
Yeah but if they go F2P then it's a controversy with everyone that paid money, so they sidestep that. Then they also make news because it's $3 and everyone is like well that's a lot of game for cheap. This way they get a player base bump for the expansion without having to go F2P. If they put it at that price they can sell it for like $20 next week and still make some money off of it. Also if they go F2P then people will be like well i'll just wait on the expansion when it goes F2P next year.
Fuck it, I'm in. Already played the shit out of it on PS4 but I may buy it again for both PC and PS4 just to have 'em.
