Recently discovered The Division 2.

Apparently this game came out before the pandemic and also predicted it. So-so gunplay, great rpg progression so far (I’m level 23/40), and the world is insanely beautiful. I like dungeon crawlers, I like exploring, I like shooting stuff, so this game fits pretty well.

Unfortunately, it has this weird, mouse sensitivity jitter issue that seems pretty tied into framerate for some reason. I dropped my mouse polling rate way down and that helped a ton, but it’s still there for whatever reason.

The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.

Replaying the division at the mo, but love both D1 and D2 although noting the engines/environments are great but the stories characters are pretty bland.

I remember the first Division game, it didn’t even come close to predicting the pandemic. Some nebulous enemy group decided to spread a super plague bioweapon through cash on/before christmas. It also “wasn’t political” if you believe Ubisoft.

When I pressed further on the game’s themes, whether it was the inherent anti-capitalist message in centering the game around a virus spread through money, or the draconian justice of armed peacekeepers indiscriminately shooting down looters and escaped Riker’s Island inmates (another class of enemy in the game), he told me, “At the end of the day, it’s a videogame, it’s an entertainment product… There’s no particularly political message with it.”

Don’t know much about the sequel, though.
