Tom Clancy's The Division

So you got the main vampire, but under him are his underlings.

A little bit like, um, not The Division, Ghost Recon, uh, where you know, there's an area where there's a boss and then you got to get...

I think you got to get him mad enough, like do enough of the missions to piss, like to kill his minions or whatever to get him pissed off, and then you can defeat them to the, like the boss of an area.

Um, so it is kind of a mishmash I'd say.

Uh, I believe so, yeah.

Mm.

So it's, it's basically like a survival game kind of meets The Division, meets, like other weird- And wonderful sort of supernaturalistic sort of elements.

The storyline's not great, um, than what levers, but what some of the voice acting kind of stuff, but that's always like back burner when it generally comes to these type of games, to be fair.

Like, I get you wanna have the devs do some or have some creative freedom, but that was like the absolute worst.

Like, who in their right mind thinks an extraction shooter is gonna appeal to the masses? I still think the best extraction shooter is The Division.

I'll, I'll say that till the end of days kind of deal.

But if you're, if you wanna be on the more technical, you know, only PVPVE type of aspect, then you got Escape From Tarkov.

Uh, I did not do a lot of the checklist in that game 'cause I did not wanna play it more, personally.

Um, but you know, like Ubisoft, I remember The Division, when I played that when it came out.

I, like, hated it.

I didn't like it at all.

I said, there's been a range of different skill trees.

When we worked on The Division, again, to be clear, I didn't do the skill trees on any of these games.

Most I had given feedback, offered some thoughts, and really talked to designers to try to figure out maybe how they could impact the levels that we're making, right? The big thing here is that they've changed a lot.

When we made Division, it was a really big point of view and kind of pillar for us that we didn't want to go the traditional RPG sense of like, you're a healer, you're a tank, you're a DPS.

We really kind of simplified the skill trees and made sure you can have the abilities to go across the board.

Part of the reason is We want the players to either hopefully play in a squad with their friends, or maybe make new friends, but we're also aware there's going to be some people that will play in the Division franchise by themselves, right? And if that's the case, we should allow you to kind of pick and choose the best abilities to help you advance the narrative, the game, with just yourself, not necessarily pigeon-holing yourself to one kind of playstyle.

So that was really important for us, that the player could switch between classes and their abilities, so they no longer relied on, hey, this is solely a medic, this is, you know, like we talked about WoW, priest, rogue.

We really kind of wanted the players to bounce in between, and that's why you kind of saw the the clear branches.

We what if what if we just

didn't tell the truth? There was a couple of moments at Ubisoft conferences where they showed off Watch Dogs and then The Division where the graphics were so good.

Like, look the way his coat flies in the wind and look at, like, the person, like, pushing the door, like, you know, so naturally.

Like, there was all these sort of, like, impressive graphical showcases, but all bullshit.

I think they get back to being a top five or six offense in the NFL.

So the division winners: the Giants, the Bears, the Bucs, and the Seahawks.

Wild card teams outta the NFC: the Rams, the Cowboys, and the Lions.

Joining me now to talk about that and the rest of the league, and it's amazing we got game assignments, he's probably had it for a while, Moose Johnston, longtime Fox NFL analyst since 2001? [upbeat music]

Dude, I can't wait.

I'm doing The Division, because I don't know if you played The Division at all, but I think that's...

It has probably one of the best worlds of any game ever.

Just like a snowy post-apocalyptic Manhattan.

And I think the main thing that hooks me now is whether the storytelling is good.

Because if it's not, even if the gameplay is great, I don't really latch on to that game, which is funny.

Cause I mentioned the division earlier, but I did, I played that when I was 18 years old.

So yeah, like I, I think, I think a game pretty much needs a good story for me to enjoy it.

...

The Division.

This comes from NateTheHate.

Nate claimed Ubisoft had more than half a dozen Switch 2 games in development, s- specifically made the Div- named The Division among the franchises receiving ports.

I see.

Uh, another one was Rainbow Six Siege from that same report.

Might, it might be the second.

I mean, I don't know.
