Tom Clancy's The Division 2

“The grind for materials, for the highest quality attributes, all the talents, rolls (and re-rolls upon re-rolls) of gear to try and get the right combination because of limitations in crafting and optimization is a stupid, arbitrary mechanic to keep people spinning in an unnecessary rat wheel.”

“The gameplay loop in the division 2 quickly became tedious — repetitive side missions, endless looting, and aimless wandering through a city that, although well-crafted, failed to connect with me emotionally or thematically.”

“- the gameplay is extremely grindy, repetitive, an absolute slog to move around, gunplay feels not bad... but awfully miserable, enemies take multiple mags to take down, you can't even crouch/prone. enemies run at you carelessly while you mag dump them over and over, the most braindead shooter gameplay i have ever seen in the last decades, ai is braindead, don't care about their lives, there is no tactics, no stealth, no self preservation, feels like shooting hordes in 1996 doom, but worse since your guns in this game are peashooters and just scratch enemies.”

“Animations are limited, physics only when necessary, graphics look plastic and are GPU intensive because edges look nicer and there's no care to optimize further.”

“It's still the same soulless story, with graphics overloaded with shaders to the point where you can't see anything in the distance—probably to hide more flaws.”

“The game runs horribly; the graphics look weird and ugly even with everything set to max, and the key binding is completely braindead.”

“Levels 1-40 are fine, gameplay is okay but after that point you just pour hours into grinding which is now essentially RNG.”

“- the gameplay is extremely grindy, repetitive, an absolute slog to move around, gunplay feels not bad... but awfully miserable, enemies take multiple mags to take down, you can't even crouch/prone.”

“It will make you grit your teeth when you have to put 300 mag rounds into one dude that is wearing an adidas tracksuit (which apparently offers the same protection as power armor inside a tank), because bloody hell, half a thousand high caliber bullets have to go through this adidas tracksuit to take this guy down. He also walks totally careless right across the middle of the room, not taking cover at all, while holding his pistol sideways like a gangster... it's not only ridiculous, absolutely dumb and incredibly tedious, you will feel absolutely miserable through it all the time, because this is not just one boss-type enemy, this is the common enemy type and they are everywhere.”

“Buggy and broken in more ways than I can convey through words.”

“Constant crashes, texture splitting on NVIDIA cards, textures completely failing to load, quests non-playable, and entire in-game mechanic is broken and has been for years; honestly a majority of these glitches have existed for years.”

“The game would be great but it crashes and freezes so bloody often that mission completion is a roll of the dice.”

“The grind for materials, for the highest quality attributes, all the talents, rolls (and re-rolls upon re-rolls) of gear to try and get the right combination because of limitations in crafting and optimization is a stupid, arbitrary mechanic to keep people spinning in an unnecessary rat wheel.”

“Like some other people posted before, this dumpster fire of a game is unplayable, poorly optimized, crashes every 15 minutes, tried a lot of fixes and stuff, no dice, the gameplay and setting isn't even that good to begin with, a mediocre game at best (if it would work).”

“Bro this game is unplayable, it's so poorly optimized for PC you can't even turn the camera without it sticking; it sticks then does like a weird mini freeze, then moves normally for about a second then sticks again if you move too fast.”

“The Division 2 is mechanically better than the first, but fails to capture the atmosphere of the first.”

“Literally just the first game with slightly better balancing, less recoil, more to do, no dark zone, and unfortunately worse atmosphere, graphics, and cosmetics.”

“Bugs will mess up the missions while you play, wony can be unplayable due to delta-03 errors, atmosphere is significantly worse than Division 1, cover is janky sometimes, etc.”

“Very aggressive FOMO practices, very aggressive microtransactions and premium currency consumerism pushing over your face constantly.”

“It starts with their stupid launcher being forced down your throat, then you open the game and immediately get spammed by promotions for the countless microtransactions, then you play the game and get constant pop-ups explaining basic mechanics like it's your first time using a computer, after 10 minutes you are absolutely burnt out on the uninspired and mediocre combat.”

“Once again Ubisoft is stealing my money in the in-game purchase option, they are taking our money and not giving the in-game currency and Steam knows it and is playing the "oh you have to contact Ubisoft for that" knowing all along that that is for nought.”

“Same stuff as 'The Division', only better graphics with more lame heavy metal music.”

“The music or for the most part lack thereof is pretty weak, so plan to bump your own tunes.”

“It took over an hour for the game to launch, graphics were horrible, sound kept cutting in and out (background sound would disappear but voices would still be going), music was spotty, controls would only work sometimes (sprinting was impossible to rely on). Honestly, this is the worst game experience I have ever had; if this is indicative of what Ubisoft is putting out these days then the company needs to go down in flames.”

“You can essentially have one character and respec skills, so it doesn't have the same kind of replay value as many other looter shooters.”

“There's a lot to do, a lot of activities, item collection, etc.; gameplay is decent, enemy AI is okay and there's a ton of replay value if you don't mind repeating missions and hearing the truly obnoxious NPCs droning orders at you.”

“I don't get the purpose of replayable main and side missions; the game simply does not tell you the benefit besides loot rewards and XP; it's marked blue on the map and looks like something I've not completed, yet certain other missions do not get the same treatment being marked as 'completed' as it should be while ability to replay should always exist.”

“Grind in this game is not funny-type grind.”

“You're not funny!”

“Extremely repetitive, boring storyline.”

“Very boring storyline.”

“And then I get to Warlords of New York and it's back to boring story mode... seriously, what in the world were they thinking?”

“Almost no characters ever experience any character development besides a couple backstories found in shallow collectibles.”

“That said some of the character designs were just… lame to say the least, so it kept me from caring too much about them.”

“Games fun at times even though the story is lame and the character design is terrible (seriously one of the main characters looks like Dora the Explorer).”
