To put it simply things went from taking me on average 30 seconds to try and tell if something was worth keeping or not to taking 2 or 3 seconds. It was a brilliant simplification of the number dense gear pieces.
#IS THE DIVISION 2 GOOD UPGRADE#
Gear 2.0, The Savior & My Favorite Next-Gen Upgrade YetĬoming with the NY expansion, Gear 2.0 was a radical re-working of how the game’s loot system worked. They added in a fun, though incredibly difficult to do on console, raid at an airport but the overall gear system just wasn’t enticing enough, thankfully that has been (mostly) fixed. The main issue at launch was a reason to keep playing after you hit the endgame. Three free episode DLC’s of various size hit before this expansion and added in Camp David (called Camp White Oak), The Pentagon, and Coney Island respectively giving 1 or 2 missions in each location. This New York has been slammed by a hurricane before your arrival and is a stupendously good-looking disaster. the paid expansion “Warlords of New York” takes you back to the gorgeous setting of the first game. Add in the protests across the country over police brutality and my Agent who has killed tens of thousands of fellow countrymen, well yeah it really doesn’t feel great.Īfter killing your way through D.C. Playing through that mission after the events of January 6 th feels odd in a way I haven’t before in a video game. A campaign that ended with you storming the Capitol Building. taking back landmarks and important buildings through a forgettable but alright campaign. You fought your way through Washington D.C.
#IS THE DIVISION 2 GOOD FULL#
This was of course a full year before the Coronavirus hit and changed all our lives, and thankfully we only sort of descended into the levels of anarchy this game’s world did. You start out as “The Agent” answering a distress call from the White House and fighting your way through a horde of enemies as America has been thrown into chaos by a viral contagion. Over the two years though the number of each has greatly increased, along with the power and fun they can provide. They had become extremely popular in the first game and it was disappointing to see so few of each at launch. Diablo 3 style Gearsets and Exotic weapons and gear pieces that gave unique and fun mechanic changes were minimized at launch. Many of the changes from the first game were reverted in a very Destiny 2 like set of moves. Patches have been frequent and full of what the game severely lacked, balance and content.
