  • Today marks the two year anniversary of my first video on RUclips, and there couldn't be a more fitting video to make than a review of the game that got me my start on this platform. And it's a pleasure to review this game now, post 1.8, because the game is in the best ever place it's been, and it's finally the game we all hoped it would be when we laid down our hard earned cash back in March of last year. The Division finally feels complete, and in this review I'd like to show you why...
    I've worked with a very talented graphic artist to deliver a special edition version of the script of this video. It's available exclusively to Patrons here: / skillupyt

      Chase Jones Funny Chase, before I clicked the vid I was thinking “Is he the best reviewer on RUclips, or just becoming one of my favorites?”
      Then I thought, they give out game awards, why don’t they have “Tech reviewers of the year”, “Game Reviewers of the Year” etc for RUclips, as it’d be nice if they did something to show appreciation to them instead of de-monetizing their vids.

And let me explain y'all why CLASSFIED gear sets broke the game 1st you have 3% of chance getting classfied and there's more than 9 classfied gear sets and one gear set contains 6 pieces..vest/mask/knee pads/glovs/holster ..so you have like 0.50% chance to get exactly what you looking for even if you get it they might have bad stats so you'll grind all over again one piece of gear sets takes months to find it 2nd lag they have really bad laggy servers 3rd unbalanced builds 4th takes 0 skills to kill players it's all about builds now ..no classfied build?? You noob!! ... If you have classfied build > you are good just like that..5th oh wait I could tell you guys 100 reasons not to buy this game now but ah just don't buy it and thank me later.. you'll regret even if it's free don't play it you'll waste your time

    You and MarcoStyle back on the Division. I’m so happy. Haha. I still love this game and still play it nearly everyday. Clocked in over 2000 hours. Also glad you quit your job to do what you obviously truly love to do. Good luck! I’ll be here to click the like button and have been subscribed and will always. Great review by the way.

      Austin Spraggins no Marko stuck true to him and didn't take money
      Skill up abandoned division and then all sudden after Marco made his vid
      Now skill all sudden goes from destiny hype rider
      Then the destiny hate rider
      Nor back to division
      Naw I'll sricknwith Marco skill has been baught and sold and turned into a hype rider
      In my opinion.

    I've hated the Division for a long time. I hated it because I wanted so much to like it, but couldn't. I still played hundreds of hours over the course of more than a year, then finally let it go. I'm going to try again. I want to believe. Your reviews are in-depth, fair, informative, and perceptive, and stem from a genuine passion for the art form. Keep making a difference.

    As someone that has stuck with the Division since day 1 (through all the bs) I can say with 100% confidence that the best thing to come from it has been your channel. Your reviews are some of the best researched and articulated content on RUclips and I look forward to all of them. Even the laymen channel is hella enjoyable. Division is truly better now than it has ever been and I'm glad you took the time to revisit it!

  • @chiffmonkey
    @chiffmonkey 6 лет назад +73

    The bullet sponge criticism would've been solved by having more boss enemies be non-human, like the APC or Helicopter. Go with the real world "What has more hitpoints" rather than just boosting a stat on a meatbag.
    As for Breath of the Wild, the story is "Who is Zelda?" and you have to do a KILOTON of side content to actually unwravel that.

    • @robsonwaterkemper
      @robsonwaterkemper 6 лет назад +2

      What about focusing the stats of your character and your gear in accuracy and agility rather than damage? So you and the enemies could be killed by few shots, but you could have aiming facilitators and running, covering and dodging abilities that would help you to kill with more efficiency and be alive more often. Then you could increase difficulty in higher XP levels by increasing the amount of enemies or boosting their types, like having enemies with shields, smarter enemies, enemies with gear that counter yours etc.

    • @wiymmf
      @wiymmf 5 лет назад +1

      Pretty much the reason why I've gone back and forth on this game. I have wanted to get the game, but I simply cannot get over the fact that humans in hoodies can absorb a metric ton of bullets. The setting, the aesthetics, the genre are all appealing, it's just the bullet sponge that completely throws me off the game.

    The division is amazing right now. I got a pre order key with my purchase of my gtx 980ti back in March. At first the game was meh to me, but after patch 1.4 I began to fall in love with it, got the seasons pass and had lots of fun playing with friends. And now with patch 1.8 the game is complete, there is SOO much to do and SOO much fun with friends. It looks like a small map but trust me it’s really not, it’s a very dense and beautiful apocalyptic Manhattan.

  • @AyyFuji
    @AyyFuji 3 года назад +1

      I waited a year on purpose for this game because I anticipated the troubles with it after following it for some time in production. When I bought it, I got the full game and season pass for £25. I've put around 500 hours into it so far because im a filthy casual and I have to say, it was well worth the wait.

    • @stealthhunter6998
      @stealthhunter6998 6 лет назад

      I'm kinda annoyed atm because I have nothing to play at the moment when it comes to games mainly because my I'm in Aus and no one is matchmaking for games like D2, SWB2 (SWB2 with its game breaker microtransactions and D2 is a boring compared to D1) and now I haven't bought division during its sale... I dunno what to play lol. I like ark but my PC wont run it at 60fps with graphics I think are a standard at least.
