I'm glad this exists because even after dropping 200+ hours in the division, I don't know what's going on, the way they deliver stuff is just so convoluted
I was keeping up until I got to the Black Tusk invasion in the Division 2 yesterday. The game presents it like I should know who these people are and believe that they are retaking every place I had a mission in already.
This is why I love The Division franchise, it’s so close to reality yet just far enough away and the world-building and universe behind it is outstanding. There’s so much to it. As well your content is so underrated, even for the Division I don’t know why this doesn’t have way more views. These videos are always such high quality content packed with pertinent information and your voice is extremely pleasant to listen to. Keep up the awesome content!
As someone who took a HUGE break between D1 and D2, these videos have been a godsend. Catching up on all the lore I missed from earlier manhunts has been incredibly insightful. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.
@@rayfinkle5048 I was in one of the cities with riots and protest. A It was madness. The first nights seemed normal, eventually people walking through the city became common sight. I kept my rifle by my side. Over time, the helicopters got continuous, the sirens more regular, then people hanging out in parks nearby. Then things escalated. Swat teams were riding around on the sides of armored personnel carriers, border patrol and sheriffs showed up, there was even rumors of a spy plane overhead. I watched from my apartment windows as people from the rural areas drove into town, around in trucks with flags harassing people, one even drove through a playground at the park near my building. Eventually one night, I went to downtown with a medkit to see if there was anyone to help in the crowds. There wasn’t a thing I could have done in that madness. Getting home was like evading patrols. Random citizens would get snatched up by police for “resisting” or “breaking curfew”. I would regularly see footage of police marching neighborhoods, shooting tear gas into doors and windows. The pro cop protesters instigated more problems. There were fights and shootouts city wide. The next time I would be outside would be a while. I’d end up telling off the next cop I seen. They betrayed the city, the average citizen. Cops didn’t answer emergency calls anymore. They just arrested and beat people. Eventually the robberies started. My building got hit 3 times. Many others too. People started acting crazier too. Some psycho was screaming and throwing stuff at our building at 3 am. A perfect job for the old BB gun. I don’t know how long that period lasted, but I know I stopped going outside. Between politics and pandemic, everything had stopped. It felt like the dark zone. Sometimes I thinks I’m mentally still there. The empty cold streets, the unease, the quiet. It affected me, even if idk how much yet. Sadly, but luckily, it’s kept me vigilant. I just hope I can relax again
@@sneedmando186 Can you imagine having played Div 1 and then NY quarantines the area you live in. So glad I didnt live in New Rochelle area at that time.
The Division book "Hearts on Fire" actually goes through their whole turn from PMC to occupation force. Its nuts. And it has Katee Sackhoff playing a first-wave Division agent!
Thank you so much for this video! As a latecomer to the Division series it’s been tough catching up on all of the story established between the first game and the latest seasons of the second; your videos have been invaluable in untangling the game lore. They’re so clean and well-presented, and your delivery of the material is really comprehensive without feeling rambling or padded at all - straightforward and easy to understand to a bemused newcomer like myself. I’m really excited about where the story is going into Year 5, and I feel like I owe a lot of that to your excellent videos! I’ve been really enjoying them, so thank you!
Many thanks for your continual work knitting together the threads that the Div lays out. It’s brought the story to greater life, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the devs have leaned into the story in these later seasons in part because you’ve demonstrated how much we all appreciate and anticipate it.
Amazing video. I just got back into D2 on Xbox series S and was clueless about the storyline especially after WLONY. Had I known this lore was this deep I would have kept on playing since launch of D1. Amazing work and I subscribed.
I seriously hope we will be able to play through all of the seasons again. I wish I never fell out of The Division 2. It has such rich content and a glorious storyline.
@@neofulcrum5013 I've read his work and did a summary on one of them for my Senior project. One of the best fictional war story writers I've experienced.
Excellent video. As someone who just recently got back into the Division games since I have a PC now... This is a wonderful refresher of the story. Keep up the great work.
I was so happy to hear from you again. Your voice, the way you tell it, the passion and the energy and time you put into it. I could listen to you forever and it is so much fun and always captivating! 😱😁 I hope you and your family are doing well and that everyone is healthy. I wish you continued success, make the best of you and I am already very excited about new content 🙏🏼😌✨ Greetings from Germany ✌🏼😏
I love the lore of this series even in the expanded media universe it's freaking fantastic one of the better Ubisoft franchises even if the gameplay doesn't always live up to the hype the universe is amazing
Dont lose yourself. My esclavo y escalava can only be marketed as agents, part of government(, etc). You dont want to be one wholl remain in el pantano.
I love the lore of these games so much. I've been following your channel since at least the beginning of the Division 2 releasing. Keep up the great work, NGN.
My personal opinion. I only take the first game into account, especially for its atmosphere and initial story. From there I think it departs from the original idea. The setting of DIV1 is incredible. I'm a very big fan of the first game. (shame is not realistic and in the end is an RPG)
I love your lore content NGN. I haven't played since End of Watch and seem to have missed some good story stuff. Thanks for keeping us lazy agents up to date!
excellent work ♥ The Division is by FAR my favourite game series with more than 2000 hours playtime on Xbox & PC. The atmosphere, the lore and the time me and my friends had is just amazing. looking forward to the Division games that will come!
one of the best lore videos ive ever see. been playing division 2 for awhile now and wasnt really making since until i watched this video, now all the story mission actually make since
Love this series of videos! Just began playing the Division 2. This is great for new players to get caught up on the story and understand the entire picture.
Great video! I’ve loved The Division since the beta of TD1! I hope someday we get to return to the more survival horror feel at times of TD1. Looking forward to Heartland and Resurgence!
Can’t wait for the next Division installment, not only one of the greatest and most in depth stories I’ve played, but great gameplay and arguably some of the best open worlds in gaming history
@@雪底下 I wouldn’t hope for it, they been saying the same shit as per usual and then let the game they actually have out die like crazy, even if they do release it it’ll be another flop
Man I always go back to this awesome video. Good for newcomers. You gotta do one before the Brooklyn dlc next year. Alot has happened in this story since this video. Great video @ngn 🙌
Everytime you post a video of the division, I have to urge to go back and play D2 again, have watched your videos since you posted about the 1st wave agents, I think your videos are awesome and informative on the lore, you're the go to man when it comes to the division
3rd time coming back to this, the story in this game is so good on its own and this video does such an amazing job at delivering it in a concise yet entertaining manner, bravo
I recently, was lucky enough to get one of my best friends into this game and he was asking questions on the story of both games and who the different factions are etc. Right so unfortunately I don't remember alllll the story so this was the perfect vid to send him. Thanks!
Extraordinary effort! For someone who missed 9 seasons in a row, this is a fantastic story bridger! Kudos, keep up the good work and keep more coming!! One question: Now that season 10 ends in 4-5 days and a new season begins shortly after, what if I want to play the old/previous season manhunts for the sake of story? Is that possible?
My friend has recommended these games, and after watching that gut-wrenching emotional trailer for the 1st game, I've been wanting to know what this game was about
nice work done here. I was hoping for the cutscenes, but that is probably the other project you mentioned. Anyway, looking forward to see the next summary
I love your lore vids and it's good to get this round up of everything that's happened going into Season 11. Thanks and pls keep it up! Let's go, Agents!!!
Agents, gather up at the hangar. NGN just dropped a massive debrief
Reporting in!
Reporting in!
Aye, reportin'
Aye!🫡
Reporting.
I'm glad this exists because even after dropping 200+ hours in the division, I don't know what's going on, the way they deliver stuff is just so convoluted
Try 6000 hrs and im still confused
I was keeping up until I got to the Black Tusk invasion in the Division 2 yesterday. The game presents it like I should know who these people are and believe that they are retaking every place I had a mission in already.
100% I am just here for the loot at this stage
Try one trillion hours you'll start to understand why there's so many similar online games from left to right up n down.
I can never...and will never...get tired of NGN's lore vids! ♥ All hail, the Lore Master!
Love you too Mav 🥰

The last time I watched this, was pre pandemic. I had a feeling it was training us. Good job agents. We made it
It isnt over yet ;)

Anyone else here in 2023 realizing how on point a lot of this was?
This is one of the reasons why I enjoy the division. the story and the world surrounding the building.

I have never been this invested in the lore of a video game, like ever. All hail NGN and Tom Clancy
I respect your sentiment, but Tom Clancy had nothing to do with the Division . I wish he had as I'm a huge fan of both.
RIP T.C
@@Seany-boy I mean, Tom Clancy possibly saw concept art of it, maybe a demo of the 2014 trailer but than he passed away.
Those are big if's but yeah.
Only Medal of Honor: Limited Edition & the Follow Up Warfighter & the Last 2 God of War Games that I was Invested in any Games. This is Awesome.
Its boring. My esclavo y escalava can only be marketed with this fiction.
Its part of how one makes el pantano that you find yourself in
Good video, now I will be re-downloading D2 today
You are the OG loremaster for Division series. Never let Anyone says otherwise.
I can hope one day we get the ballads of Alex.
I'm so glad I took the time to watch this video and listen to the debrief of the storyline and lore of *The Division,* an incredible series.
Thanks for doing these videos, it really helps to refresh the memory that is long gone :)

I love the lore of these games so much. I've been following your channel since at least the beginning of the Division 2 releasing. Keep up the great work, NGN.
Such an amazing idea for a story, and the environment of NYC in the middle of winter during this type of event is crazy.

Another great video by you. I really appreciate all the work you put into it
Thanks
Thanks for the tip 🥰
Love hearing the lore. I don't play this game often but I could hear about it everyday.

Even though I already know the story its always sounds new when you do a recap hahahaha. Great vid
A great Video, giving answers to anything. I didn't play Part 1, so it gave needed informations to me. Thank you very much and go on this way!
Thank you for this, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Nice video dude. I love these games!
Hey NGN love your videos!!!!
I played division, one way too young I used to get nightmares from the cleaners
But love to see them scream in fear when one of their tank was leaking.... Lol
NGN is a king, just got back into the Division 2 and this hyped me TF up!
to the person who did this video thnk you for doing this i loved it and i thank you
OMG LOVED IT! I can’t wait to see more of what you put together. Thank you!
Always loved your videos. Awesome work!
dude i love your vids maybe try to do vids about ghost recon or rainbow six siege
Thank You for this all in one
This video is a pleasure to watch. A rare enjoyable lore video. Thank you.
This comment is a rare pleasurable read. So thank YOU!

Dew it
nice work done here. I was hoping for the cutscenes, but that is probably the other project you mentioned. Anyway, looking forward to see the next summary
I play div 2 almost daily but I haven’t known what the story was about since season 1, I’m glad I might understand something now
That was the best intro to a division video I’ve ever seen
so far im playing alone Div2 didnt get that far into the story, i always enjoy lore videos like this good job ♥
I wish we had the option to go rogue. Having Manny and Kelso in my ear constantly telling me what I need to do gets old.
This video came out just as I joined. It made me love the game.
Intro shivers.. just the usual
I was literally thinking about a exact video on this! 😂 THANK YOU!
If they make a 3rd game they should do it in Chicago
NGN your narrative is flawless
i can't wait to see more rogue characters or more hunters either way im exited to see more black tusk operatives and more story
I still play 1. Teamwork at its finest.
I really feel like a time traveler helped create these games...it's eerily close to what we went thru after the pandemic hit
WONDERFUL recap. I say we all set up a safe house with activation gear and get ready. Extremis Malis, Extremis Remedia agents!
hi there, love your videos and also love the divison :)
Fantastic video.
My favourite gaming series.
Man i love these stories. This is awesome
an update of this story would be nice ;)
Nice lore video. I'm subing for more vids :)
Beautiful video
I swear I’ve watched this like 10 times

Let's go, Agents!!!
Can you put together book, video, comics recommendations based on and/or inspired by Division lore? I would love to get into it more
cool story video. i owned td2 and warlords of new York. this video really enhanced the life of the game. ^_^
Thanks for this it makes me more excited playing the game 👍
