So when I first say the division back at E3 2013, I thought, cool! New York in some disaster, in which you have to survive and help around, seemed like a cool RPG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aHVdb2lkjo (sorry, I have no idea how to insert video).

And then we got the release date, holiday 2014. Everyone knew this wasn't happening, especially with the short development time it had. So unsurprisingly, it was delayed a few times, eventually ending up in March 2016. Ubisoft tried going for an unrealistic release date, and it bit them in the ass. But that's the least of my concern.

Another series of problems I've heard is with how piss poor the game looks. Really, no one was expecting e3 2013 graphics, but it almost looks last gen compared to what we expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXgUce1fnb8

Then it gets worse. As we see more and more of the game, I begin to realize this really isn't an RPG, and more of just a cover 3rd person shooter. And there goes my hype. I never liked Gears of War, and while this certainly doesn't seem like that, enemies are bullet sponges, yet they just stand there and shoot at you, nothing like the AI compared to 2013.

So I see all this, and I realize, this is likely going to disappoint. The alpha test will set it in light, but it looks worrying. The game is only a couple months away, and the remaining development time is "sparse". The game is almost set in stone, and it looks to be disappointing.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Shouldn't people have been concerned the moment Ubisoft announced that it was developed by Ubisoft?

Ubisoft wasn't crap back in 2013... at least we didn't know.

Wait what? People have been crapping on Ubisoft at least since AC3, which came out in 2012.

On topic though, I'm absolutely not worried about The Division. it's as uninteresting now as it was when they released it. I'm just sitting here, waiting for Far Cry and AC Japan.
