I played a decent amount of this on ps4 but the map was so visually boring compared to the first me and some friends ended up dropping it when other stuff came out, I might try this again on PC cause it's so cheap
They put a lot of detail in the world but the mission design and story is really poor. Dropped it after the first few zones.
Pretty sure it was $4.99 USD on Epic Store a few weeks ago. Opened in Uplay anyways so same thing. Don't think this is that crazy of a price.

Historical low was 12 bucks on uPlay not 4,99.
With EGS coupon it was 4,99€, since during sale, The Division 2 was at 14,99€ on EGS.
Las Vegas could be cool or Paris. Hopefully they don't stick excursively with US.
Well, mission variety, worldbuilding and enemy variety/combat can be improved, there's nothing in shlooters that prevents that. I'm mostly talking about single player campaign here, not planning on spending much time in multiplayer.
If you played the first, and didn't like it, I don't think there is anything in the second to change your mind.
I was really into The Division 1 for a while, i really liked Underground, and Survival was great, some global events where a blast to play, completed most of the "raids" (yeah well, you know...) with randoms after my playmates dissapeared, etc, but for some reason The Division 2 never managed to catch my attention, didnt like the change in the setting.
Now i might try it on pc if it does come out in gamepass.

I just got to level 30 by playing solo and I had fun. I really liked the combat in the game.
Hear hear. Running around NYC in the dead of winter felt sooo good. Coming from a former-Manhattanite, it really captured how the city shuts down during a snowstorm. And also, to some extent the chaos that ensues during holiday season at the big department stores like Macy's and what was Toys R Us in Times Square.
Divison 2 is clearly a better game, but Massive nailed the setting so well in the first game, every setting that follows pales in comparison.
So like I said it was $4.99... Coupon was for everyone. And when you buy on epic it connects to your Uplay so no different.
squeeze out as many sales as possible before they launch on steam in a few weeks
Yeah, what do those passes cost? Because that's definitely a factor.
Though Wildlands never got such a steep cut, so this game underperforming is another factor.
Usually about 39.99 in whatever currency you use so that plus the base game is taking you very close to full retail price at launch.
Yeah, it's in their interest to slash the price. Then sell the pass. The severity is a bit steep, but there's Game Pass now in the mix.
Wait it's coming back to Steam, same with the Anno game or just assuming?
im assuming, because you'd think they'd want to get as much money out of it as they can through any avenue
for the record i don't think it would work necessarily at this point, meaning sell a lot, but it doesn't hurt
The bullet-sponginess isn't as bad because they've added armour to the big enemies which can be shot off. So if you expose a weak point, you can then hit the unarmoured spot to take them down pretty quick. They also have specialised weapons that have limited ammo as special drops, which you can save for named enemies.
A fully armoured big can be taken down with like 3 special sniper shots.
I've been playing it mostly solo (or with one other person responding to backup calls), because as I'm going through the campaign, the population for lower ranks is very low. The population is low in general. Playing solo is... okay.
For whatever reason I just find Div and Div2 to be pretty chill games that are nice to look at and fun to play around in for an hour or two here and there.
As to if it's better than Div, the improvements are incremental, and the core mechanics are largely the same. If you really enjoyed the first game and felt there were some small QoL opportunities, then Div2 is worth checking out, if you just throught Div was a boring slog, then Div2 isn't gonna change anything.
I mean, though Ubisoft found the sales underwhelming, wasn't it the 9th best selling game of 2019? Makes sense to discount heavily before Year 2 drops with, presumably, the first paid content for the game.
It would be the second time to pay extra (Year 1 season pass was the first).
As for the game itself...I'll echo what others have said.
If you like Div 1 and/or have a couple of friends willing to go through it with you it's not a bad time.
But if Div 1 didn't catch your interest, while getting up to the level cap as a solo player isn't necessarily a 'bad' time, it's not gonna get its hooks into you - the end-game didn't grab me at all.
I remember you could get it for £5 on the Epic Christmas sale (with the voucher?) ... and I skipped it. I had such high hopes for the first one after seeing the reveal trailers but I don't really want a bullet sponge grind fest.
Though, I may be being too harsh and it's probably a lot more fun in a group.

Not on PC. This is the PC version, not the Xbox One version.
I don't have enough time to play the service games I already own (Monster Hunter, Destiny, FF14, Apex). I've been tempted a few times by this but I think like all the other times this has gone on sale, I'll think "huh, neat" and then move along. Hearing the tepid response from the active player hasn't been motivating, either.
Sorry, because all of the meaningful Year 1 pass content was free, just coming a week later, or requiring a little more time to unlock through gameplay, I forgot you could actually buy it.

TBD, but every EGS exclusive this far has launched or is launching on Steam 12 months after launch. However, given that this was part of a Ubisoft-wide deal with Epic, there may be an exception.
With that said: in this case "12 months after launch" is mid-March, which does seem a bit early for the "squeezing pips" theory. I think this is a combination of a) the game having no legs on PC and b) the recent Epic Christmas Sale effectively selling the game for $5, which sets the new pricing floor. Given that I can find a physical copy of the Xbox version for £9, I suspect it's more a than b.
It didn't click as the first did.
Quest givers doesn't have a spit of personality while I still remember some of the previous ones. I breezed through the mission and have no idea what story is about.
In the division they took their time introducing bosses with audio logs and the csi scenes, I honestly can't remember a single one on Division 2.
I remember taking my sweet time walking in the street of a distraught New York, now levels are bigger but at the same time feel hollow and doesn't have the same immersion the smaller and denser streets of the first had.
I consider it as "bad" as Uncharted 3.
High production value but a step back.
18€ are a totally reasonable price anyway.

I heard the single player campaign is fun but once you get into the endgame the fun drops off significantly. Since a lot of the gold and ultimate edition content is for endgame players, I think I'll just stick with the standard edition.
