The Division 1 Vs The Division 2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2021
- I see this come up time and time again in the comments.
Which game is better?
I’d originally left this because there are a tonne of videos already out there, from quite early on, and all tend to be skewed in one direction.
But now in its third year, 2021 it seems like a better time to look at it from my point of view, as I keep getting asked my thoughts around this, so I thought why not throw in my 2 cents worth.

A lot of very upset people commenting on this video 😅
Remember, it's ok to have a different opinion. But TH-cam requires me to manage out the hateful / threatening comments - so don't take it so personal 😆
Man…you’ve made some valid points. Yeah the summit we were just glad to have some new content, not realizing the reason why we’re climbing these floors. Other than looking at the floors and highlighting floor 100 and seeing it blur then we knew 😁
Which do yo pefer
What you said about pvp has been more thought for a while. I don't think pvp was an original focus when they made the game, but they did tried to cater and fix it due to the popularity and complaints
For the story part, you missed the ISAC missions from Division 1. They were akin to the season content fron D2 but with higher production values. Its a part I wish they could of kept on doing. Taking Asher down felt good... That a-hole. Great video as always. Keep up the good work
I found the atmosphere in div 1 far more unique and special than div 2. Division 2 has your typical post apocalyptic world with nature and vines growing everywhere, and the cracks in the pavement overrun with weeds. Whilst in Division 1 buildings aren't all uninhabitable and overgrown, they still look lived in (at most) and a little less cliche-apocalyptic *COUGH COUGH WoNY NEW YORK*. I agree with what you said about the Christmas decorations because they just add to the spookiness of it all. Think about it, what other games take place in that rarely explored time frame in winter only a few weeks into the virus. Also, in division 2 there are absolutely no living civilians on the streets (aside from gangs), but in Division 1 you still see people looking out of their windows and walking on the street. Hell, it even rewards you with small things for giving them things in return. Back to the buildings, it gave you hope that you could still save the old society before the outbreak + there were quite a few still living civilians.
Hmm I haven't ever played the first one but the second one I was hooked with the first line half hour and ha e been acting off and on when I can past 2 years . I got WONY. Expansion but the snow atotomosphre and still civilians might be a welcomed cha ce of scenery kinda wish they made an update where there were civilians still alive that can hide you from enemies in exchange for food / supplies
I agree. I love the feeling of Division 1 how surreal it all feels. That only weeks prior the world was normal, completely fine. It's amazing how they made a world that was so full of death feel so alive. I was hoping that with WONY they'd bring that feeling of surrealism back but it was a missed opportunity.
Division 2 is a great game but the atmosphere of its predecessor is so much better in just about every way. The cold gritty feeling of winter making time seem to slow to a halt in the city that never sleeps. My favorite place in the first game is Dark Zone 9 in the top left corner it's just a pile of bodies stacked higher than the first floor of some of the buildings only then do you realize just how brutal that virus was.
I love both games but the atmosphere really sold the first one for me.
Warlords of new York looks fine. This takes place a while after the first division. Things will be overgrown and ruined. And the game gets the vibe right. Next game they should totally do autumn or winter, but summer was epic too....
The reason why there are no civilians on the streets is they all live in settlements now
You dont get far when youve been fk’in around in the swamp.
I'll never forget making my way through the Dark Zone in Div 1 and happening upon the mountain of body bags. Pilled up haphazardly and strewn about heavy machinery. It was honestly a harrowing moment for me. The atmosphere of that final DZ was so eerie. I totally agree in Div 1 having a better atmosphere.
The division has a good story characters and
CAR DOORS CLOSING
Fun fact: Div 2 tells you on the character select screen how many car doors your gloves have closed.
@@chriswithrow3107 lol
@@chriswithrow3107 Does it actually?
@@atas2561 yep. Each weapon and all 6 pieces of gear tell you a random stat, like named enemies killed, headshot kills, etc.
@@chriswithrow3107 l saw that a few months ago and then during my next session I just took cover with cars and closed doors for like 10 minutes lol
I'm a 67 year old gramma playing this game. I played Division 1 until 2 came out. I basically play alone or with 1 friend. I really prefer 2. All the things I can do in the open world alone is great. I have a very strong build but prefer to just play on hard alone. I enjoy just killing them easily. When playing with friend, we do a lot of heroic. I love the graphics of both games but enjoy DC mainly. I enjoy the summit. I've played some in dark zones but not as much as in 1. I've never played the raids. But I just enjoy 2 the best.
PS one reason for playing this game over other games, the controller has legacy where most games don't. I just cannot function on the others. Everything is backwards for me! Ugh
What system you play on? Im on xbox and its hard to find other players
@@bucknasty8597 xbox 1s
Thanks for this insight :)
Thank you for your service agent
I'm with ya on that too! I loved both games, I just liked 2 better because of the awesome combat gadgets and the awesome level design!
There are some things D1 did better and some things D2 did better.
That's the main takeaway here. Also applies to ALMOST ALL OF Ubisoft's games.
And what exactly if you are so smart
Yeah like how the level design and gadgets in 2 were better than 1, and the snowy New York setting in 1 was definitely better than 2, not saying I hated DC of 2 I loved both the post apocalyptic worlds I just think fighting in those heavy blizzards of New York felt especially intense
DZ
Tbh I like how D2 has a mechanic that allows you to ask for back up which is a easier way of getting other people to help you.
One thing I liked about the D1 is the atmosphere, sometimes you truly felt alone and gave the whole "you're on your own" feeling
I agree division one with the snowy look is great but dc at night is so good and it keeps me on my feet knowing stalker hunters watching all the time idk there both great but div 2 is my favorite
No one ever mentions the way you use consumables in the first game compared to the second. Like picking up explosive rounds, incendiary, water for buff etc and using when the right situations calls to use them usually baking em for dark zone, the second game uses em immediately. The supers never get mentioned like super damage mitigation or double damage made for some insane plays in the dark zone. Really hope there's a div 3 that can mix the best parts from both games
Mobile game, take it or leave it
Leave it I’ll stick to div 1 n 2
Well, if you're going to talk about Gameplay, the Division Two is better. Not abnormal given the fact it's more recent, has more variety in weapons. As for all the rest, diversity in activities, gearsets, overall fun and setting, I'll take the Division One.
I agree
I like the cosmetics too in the division 1,they look way better In My opinion
I also hate the builds in the division 2 one legit makes it so you have unlimited grenade,sniper and arrow ammo
Why is "more recent" a factor in your head?
@@doltBmBthey were saying that's a factor as to why the game feels better gameplay wize, which is just how game dev works. More tech to use, more experience. It's gonna feel better in most cases in newer games
My favorite activity from the division 1 was the survival game mode. Didn't care if I ran into other players. I just enjoyed starting with pretty much nothing and trying to survive for as long as possible.
Oh man, the snowstorm mode was absolutely awesome
VERY missed opportunity by not including a survival mode for Division 2.
It was my favorite mode to play and they could have made it work for Division 2. They could instead have major hurricane force storms during this. Warnings to get to cover as debris would be flying around, and do serious damage or incap you if hit.
The temp and rain could be very cold, so this would require you to constantly have to change clothes to avoid hypothermia. Then again, they could have changing weather so you have to worry about it being too humid and hot, having a risk of hyperthermia (basically heat stroke). You would be forced to drink water to stay hydrated during this.
Honestly, they could have done this better around the "Warlords of New York" DLC. Having a survival back in New York during the summer would be a different experience, especially with different weather elements.
If they do make a Division 3, they BETTER have a survival mode.
This is the reason Im redownloading it today, a mode ahead of it’s time for sure.
I've always been a fan of your work. Ever since I started both games and was hooked with the lore of the division universe, your channel has been my sanctuary. to the point where during my quiet time, I listen to your lore videos similar to a podcast. Your stories have helped me relax and destress. :) And it makes me happy you made something like this. A proper comparison of both games. Respect bro! :)
Both games are good
Period 💕
Yes
Awesome
What’s better for online, like team death match and other game modes?
@@FighterChamp. division 1 most people say has better PvP while d2 better pve
Didn't play Division 1 that much, but I play the Division 2 way more.
The one thing I love about the division 2 are the many various builds you can create. As you can seriously specialize into what ever style of build you want to be. For example if you want to be a juggernaut with a m60 you can and still fight off the enemies. If you want to be a sniper with low health but high damage you can. And with either one if played right you can run entire missions on the hardest difficulty along with directives and survive and complete missions.
I like the rogue agent idea cus in real life not everyone is going to stay straight and narrow
Agreed.
I dunno if video games should emulate real life. Like, I don't want to worry about paying rent, finding parking, taking care of kids, going to school, getting arrested for shooting up a mall or two, things like that are just too realistic. The fact that I'm a super-soldier running around in a post-apocalyptic universe has let me drop any pretenses that I'm participating in something realistic, especially after firing the 308th shot into an adult man's face, taking him down to 50% health. Seriously, are you for real lil' homie?
@@a_doggo imma be honest, you're an idiot if you think you need to have realistic gameplay mechanics in order to have realistic character personalities
I’ve only played the second, and I’m a VERY casual Division player. But I find myself wanting to play the 1st so bad just because of that atmosphere. It’s soooo good
The division 1 is a better game.
I know I'm late, but just buy it when it's cheap and try it.
@@RiskTakerzz more atmosphere due to it being winter and people still on the streets
Div2 is faster and better build synergy in teams
I've seen it go for 5 dollars or even free once or twice on Playstation
45 degrees Celsius outside but the intro tune still giving me chills. 10/10
So I only started playing The Division earlier this year - think it was a freebie, then I bought The Division 2 on sale.
I enjoyed both games - the original definitely felt more difficult than the sequel - that's not to say it's a cakewalk (as I've played TD2 more, I've scaled up the difficulty a bit).
Don't get me wrong, running around Washington with a Cuelebre and a (I think it's called the Capacitor? Can't remember) is fun, I did like New York in TD1 slightly more - it felt more in your face, and those traps all over the place really spooked me all the time.
I hope that one day we see a Division sequel where they're back in a cold, close quarters environment - maybe further north, or a year after the Dollar Flu outbreak? Give me manhunts, summit (controversial view: as a solo player, I find it damn fun) and a good story in a cold environment and I think I'm sold.
Thanks for your vids, NGN - I really enjoy hearing you talk about TD. :)
Speaking of the second game being easier, I swear they released a patch somewhere after launch that made the game so much easier and a breeze to play solo, like seriously at launch it was much more difficult on the division 2 to play it than it is now. I also saw that confirmed when I checked.
The Division 2’s core gameplay and PVE is way better than Division 1’s.. Although all the OG’s know how much better the PVP is in division 1’s DZ.
"LETS MAKE A SUPER BUILD AND BULLY LOWER RANKED PLAYERS JUST TRYING TO GEAR UP FOR PVE" Yeah fuck that. Dark zones dead
I always go back for the Survival! And I am a huge fan of snowy atmosphere in the first game!
It's about time we have a D1 renaissance.
I really like the atmosphere in Division 1.
The one thing that always brings me back is the open world. It's so fun walking around and running into groups of enemies. This makes it so I'm always aware of what happens.
The combat and gameplay is so smooth
I also like the "Call for Backup" feature on Div 2, makes the game less lonely and it can save you time from repeating a heroic bounty from the start.
Divison 1's atmosphere and setting with Divison 2's gameplay and mechanics. Perfection is born.
I want to like Division 1, but it feels like I need a 4 man squad to actually finish the entire story compared to Div 2
I'm a 90% solo player too. The only time I play with others is when I either need help with a control point or someone asks for help. Otherwise, I do everything myself, even though I'm in a casual clan. Currently doing a second run of both trying different loadouts
I love both division games they equally different and diverse the DZ in the first one was great and helping new agents on division 2 I ve made so many friends though the division saga there are some of the best lore videos and gear videos
Great video thanks 👍👍
Hmm it's hard for me to say which one is better the first one started it all but the second one continues the story.
Both are great, but for me, TD2 is much better than the first. I think that a lot of people who think that the first game is significantly better than the second game are just riding on nostalgia.
Division 2 has gameplay/polish
Division 1 has story/background
@Silent Assassin agreed. Div 2 DZ’s are way too small. Sometimes that has its advantages though I’ll admit. I wish WONY at least came with a big Div 1 style DZ
The division 1 is still so good partly because of survival, I keep going back to that mode and it always is a blast
@Silent Assassin yeah division 2 i can’t go out without getting shot
personally, i do enjoy the combat styles of both games. Div1 is much more unforgiving, but also just clunky at times. It can really get tiring when you just unload mag after mag into the 50th elite rioter who just walks towards you. At least Hyenas try to flank. And yeah, recoil was a bitch in Div1 unless you spec'd into nullifying it into the ground.
But atmosphere and story goes to Div1. While i admire Div2 for what it had, Div1 was a lot more real imo. the whole "in the middle of the collapse" subgenre of post-apocalypse has never really been fully explored to me, so it felt interesting to know you have the backing of a government, but this place is still collapsing around you. And new york just felt a lot more colder to me (literally and metaphorically). the greys of Div1, in the menu, in the streets, make it seem much more depressing in this concrete jungle when you sit back and look at it. Div2 feels more action movie-y to me. It does get the whole vibe of midsummer july swelter across, but aside from the dark zones (which are really freaking cool in both games!), it just feels kinda meh. too much orange and yellow for my tastes. (WoNY was nice tho.)
yeah, builds were diversified in Div2. no more running Lexington for GE credits. (i still want a dedicated healer gearset tho)
and the dark zones are just sad in Div2. from an aesthetics point, they're SO COOL, absolutely covered in powder, the walls being caked with the stuff. but gameplay wise, you're more likely to get ganked from a 4 man squad than anything. Get the DZ materials and get out.
and i do wish there were better gamemodes besides missions. I do believe that missions improved from the first game to the second, but i still want a good gamemode, as summit just feels like a slog of level section after level section after level section with more shit piled on for you to manage. Underground felt unique every time, they were their own mini missions. And while i know Survival will never come back, it was really fun.
agreee
I've just completed a week in Div1 after more than a year away. With auto HDR and FPS boost to 60fps on XSX it still looks amazing. But the TTK on Legendary/Heroic is simply bonkers..... just too long. It was great for a wee visit but I'll not be sticking to Div1 for that reason.
At least on heroic you can kill stuff without a dps build
Just finished the video! I agree almost completely with the way you compared these. Also, I’m glad I finally found someone who actually recognizes The Division 2 as not being “trash”. The only thing I’d personally disagree with is story. I prefer the way the second game handles the story. One of my gripes with the first game was how the story just abruptly ended with too many lose ends after too little time. I also thought it was dumb how the LMB were still the “scary bad guys”. Like seriously, their gear is on par with the JTF’s, AND we’ve taken their HQ + leadership. With the BTSU, they at least get their tech from the same place as the SHD. Anyway, great comparison!
Yeah the first game go here's cleaners aaaaand their boss is dead. Here's the LMB aaaaand you shot down their boss heli
Mr siri , i loved both the division , but i loved the game because of ur analysis of the game . I felt how deep a game narrative could be other than fps shooters like COD and Battlefield franchises. Thankyou. And keep up the good work.
I think the developers missed out on the opportunity to open N.Y. City some more. The bridge, for example, could’ve been a gate to open-up the other part of the city with its own challenges. Dying Light had something like that. Once you found the key to open-up the other city to explore, it was really entertaining. Maybe once that got old, then make the Washington D.C. game- linking all games together where you wouldn’t loose your builds, but continue on into other chapters of the game.
Yeah the E3 of Division 1 teased somethings that never came to fruition, including an extension of NYC to brooklyn…
I recall the drone companion mobile app that basically has you hop on your friends session via smartphone app and play as a recon/support drone. There’s also the dynamic map where the map opens up similar to the echoes you find in the map, and Brooklyn was suppose to be an extension with it’s large dark zone but instead became a starter area ONLY and then no longer accessible after that..
I can’t tell you how awesome it is to have a constant division channel that’s really
I agree with a lot of what you said I am a D1 fan 5k Plus hours in the game and if I had to choose I'd still choose D1 over D2 because I feel D1 was ahead of its time D2 was rushed for profit because the Division 1 set records for Ubisoft but the sad part was they didn't stick to the formula that's why D2 will never be as good as D1 so I'm hoping The Division movie will do D1 justice!!
D1 should have stayed in development a little longer and avoid all downgrades and removed features. Then it would have been even better. I played only little bit over 1k hours but i didnt play since release because i didnt had pc to run it properly, back then on lowest settings with cfg file tweaks i got to 17 fps when no npc was around xD. Came back around 1.3 or 1.4 patch, dont remember which one exactly.
There is so much from both games I love, pretty much everything you mentioned. I love the way Div 2 feels to play and love the activities in the open world, what I really miss are the Incursions and Legendary Missions that we would run each week as well as dedicated game modes like Underground and Survival - plus I miss the huge NY DZ which us one of the biggest mistakes they made which they knew pretty early on and why they abandoned PVP.
I got into Division about a year or so late (traded an airsoft replica LMG for my PS4), but got pulled in by the story and spent alot of time grinding until West Side Pier opened up. I've played D2 since the beta, a first for me, with occasional breaks to play another title but I always come back. Actually playing while I watched this episode. I haven't been able to grind as heavily even with being unemployed most of 2019, and starting the new job right before an actual pandemic, but I'm still fan.
I love the exploration aspects of the open worlds, searching for intel and echoes, and though I'm mostly a solo agent I do team up now and then. Some aspects I miss from the first, but I like the improvements that set it apart. This series has so much to offer a player like me, I can't wait to see what Heartland has for us.
Memories from div 1
Gameplay for div 2
(The div 1 will always hold a special place in my heart but as far as daily playing i dont bother with the div 1)
I started playing The Division 1 back in April 2020. I felt the mix emotions of the recorded audios like how relax they were before it blows up and how scared they were during the 1st week after black friday happened; just like we were uncertain back then on how long this virus would eventually go. Fast forward to May 2021, I'm now playing The Division 2 up to this day. Comparing the 2, I like the idea that they include stories of ordinary people and how it affects them, which I think lacks in the sequel. On The Division 2, I then like that there are camps that slowly helps the community to recover.
I disagree movement on div 2 is sluggish and clunky compare to div 1. You can tell they slowed the animations down on div 2 mainly because of the glitches and bugs that they had in the first game. The snowdrop engine can handle only so many actions at once.
Your content is the only Division related content i'm following right now. Have stopped playing after season 4 rolls out and have stopped following other content creators. Yours' is the most interesting in my opinion.
Those are fighting words. I just prefer D1 due to healing station and my builds are on lock and are no longer gonna change
I was late to Div 1 since I played after Div 2. Movement, story, enemies, and game mechanics all feel better in Div 2. Another great NGN vid, thanks!
The story and setting of TD1 is far better than TD2, the original story is literally what made it so popular in the first place. You just played TD2 first, which is why you like it better...which is fine...but the original story line is so much more realistic, gritty and had way better acting and voice acting. TD2 had crispier gameplay, that's it..
Another brilliant breakdown. And, even more so, I like how you expressed each section, to explain your decisions. Nicely done!?!
Listening to you talk about this is like listening to my own thoughts. Even the mentions/comparisons to other games.
It's such a shame that these games didn't live up to their potential, but it seems like games never really do anymore; especially when published by a company like ubisoft. Nice video, and I could agree with or at least understand all of your takes.
Modern video games are not made for gamers anymore, they're made for microtransactions to suck as much money out of you as possible long enough for version 2 of the exact game your playing to come out and the cycle repeats.
I would disagree, I think the division 1 was practically perfect, that's why 7 years later there are still people who play it daily, so I'd say it lived up to its potential and ubisoft abandoned it because of the new wave of micro transaction based games. I've played 2 but I prefer 1 I downloaded both games again last night and I plan to spend some time playing both but if two just changed the atmosphere back to what 1 had, snowy, foggy, dark, sometimes stormy, and added in more civilians running around and more random events then 2 would be perfect. They just never recaptured the magic of the original game but they made some upgrades to 2 that 1 really should have gotten on its final update. I think if they remaster 1 and don't add micro transactions it'll be a game people play for another decade at least.
@J The BK Good? Sure. Great? Depends on who you ask. Perfect? Never. The game has many glaring issues that hold it back. Which is why I was excited for a sequel as it's a chance to fix the previous issues.
@@k-fedd Div1 gear system shits on div2 one IMO.
@@Supadrumma441 yep. Division 2 was just a failure. Hopefully if there's a third entry they'll finally learn from their mistake, but we'll see I guess.
I didn't play D1, but maybe I will after watching this. I'm a solo player also, and mainly play games for story.
I think you will love it in my opinion. Everything feels so much dire and much more depressingly desperate in the first game. And the atmosphere? Chef's Kiss on that one over Div 2. One of my favorite aspects of Div 1 is Rick Valassi and his radio podcast "Wouldn't You Know It?." Try and read the books and comic if you can. Collapse of New York(During the Div1. Can be used in conjunction with the game following the story of April Kelleher but, not necessary). Broken Dawn(during and following the events of Div1. Leading to and bridging the gap between the events of Div2.) Extremis Malis(Comic) Another bridge element between the 2 games. Supposedly another official novel is being written and coming soon. Dont remember the name of it but there is enough content to keep you good for a long while. There is also a "World of Tom Clancy's The Division Encyclopedia." As well as a Art book of the Division. I know I am missing some other stuff but that would be a great start if you so chose to delve into the story further. I am a story guy so I just cant help myself. Good luck, Agent.
It's on sale in the Ubi store at the moment, go grab it. You won't be sorry.
I miss the builds i made in one. Made and amazing healer and and amazing explosives character. The skills felt simpler to understand for some reason. Hate snow though. Division 2 wins in environment for me
Well, it will be hard to play solo
@@niksobil best way to enjoy the story mode honestly. You can take your time and explore every nook and cranny at your own pace. Ymmv depending on your own play style. Which obviously is totally fine. Your money, your choice.
Great summary and video sir. Thoroughly agree. Also, how are you doing man?
I hope they gonna make division 3 someday with bigger open world so we can use vehicles like mad max style
Also, I agree with you a 1000000000% on the Ghost Recon games.
I wonder if a future division 3 game would replace the dark zone pvp with faction pvp in the lightzone or make the whole map the dark zone. If that’s possible, then it would make sense in a lore aspect because one of dead drops comms called open gates, Keener said that the aftermath of the quarantine zone when he came back to NYC, he said that it was all gone or abandoned like the JTF gave up keeping up or something. The barricades , boats were also gone.
Personally if the whole map was a DZ, I wouldn't play.
I think In terms of endgame I like 2 better just because I feel there’s a lot more content to run with, especially after the black tusk invasion, which is good for me since I only really do single player
Regarding combat, D2 has way more spongier bosses than D1, especially on Legendary and Heroic. But the biggest issue in D2 is survivability. In Legendary and Heroic, the player is way to frail. And if you are "lucky" to encounter some of those grenade spammers, it just gets way to frustrating.
I quit playing D2 a few months ago. It's just too repetitive, same missions, same recycled content. I only jump into Survival in D1 once in a while.
I’ve been to DC, and it made me realize how detailed the world is. For example, the hotel that I stayed at is a control point but I forget witch one
I have to say that, while I love, love, love the Division 1, I don’t jump into it as much as I do the Division 2. It’s the builds, loot & challenges for me. I prefer the Division 2 interface more than the Division 1. But the story &, yes, atmosphere is lacking for me in the Division 2. In regards to the world & storytelling of the Division 2, there wasn’t enough.
F up
I love what you did about the last point...the story, but you were spitting facts the whole video honestly ✨👍
I enjoyed both. I love atmosphere and feel of div 1 but I left very early when it was buggy. Div 2 is my most played game on ps4. I love they built on all the rpg elements and the first time I reached max level and the black tusk invade was soo good. Then the expansion I had fun to only thing they I don't like content wise in div2 is seasons, the tedious chores never appealed to me.
What I love about div 1 is the feel but actually playing hours upon hours and still enjoying myself definitely div 2 (I did come back and play all the div 1 DLC content and still prefer div 2 content EXECEPT survival was KING)
Also to note I never cared about pvp I loved the idea of the DZ but even in div 1 I always thought pvp was never their focus just a cool lore addition that allowed pvp.
both games are fun but I recently bought div2 and I honestly prefer it over div1
You think DV 2 is better than 1. Right? I bought DV 2 recently but didin't play yet and I wonder which is better: The Division 2 or Breakpoint Wildlands? Should I buy Wildlands?
@@yucelyukselmert6614 not sure, in my opinion I never liked wildlands but it’s all about preference
@@Hghgghg thenk you.
I played dv1 probably a bit to much, but I love that game. It was the only game I played. I loved every aspect of it, the pve, pvp, the world, and story. I sunk hours upon hours in playing when I should have been studying or sleeping but I'd kept playing. Then dv2 came out and I played through and got to max level. When I finished the game I felt like I wasted my time. I didn't feel rewarded for playing, I didn't feel like I got any enjoyment. Dv2 board me to the point I just walked away. I played dv1 solo 98% of the time and had emeance amounts of fun, but after I got past level 25 in dv2 I'd never get on unless the 1 friend I had that played dv2 got on. I just didn't care about dv2 the same way I cared about dv1. I gave dv2 another try soon before the first manhunt the took you to Manhattan I believe came out. I played for about 12 hours over 4 days and left to do other things. Dv2 has board me since day 1. I never had the eurge to grind for the overpowered gear the same way I did for dv1. Maybe it's nostalgia, but dv1 is my favorite of the 2 and it always will be.
Super refreshing video. I appreciate your point of view and keep it coming. Cheers mate!
In the division 1 you could smash windows even make holes in concrete walls if you shoot enough at the same spot. I loved how you could shoot stuff and it would break. None of that in div 2. Maybe its just me but that disapointed me hard ruind my immersion. In div 2 everything is just static even car tiers.
Wake up cause of a text. Look for something to help put me asleep again. New NGN video welp so much for going back to sleep. Keep up the great work!
I have been playing division 2 since last year, cant put it down. I have 10 other games i haven't played. I finally joined a clan. I know im late but i always played solo 🤣
They really should have used some stronger visual filters and effects in D2 to convey the heat as apposed to how well the cold NYC winter came across.
Loved both games when the each launched. Its been about 2 years since I've played them. Is jumping back in to either now a fun time or did I miss the boat?
The Division 2 and its lores… are so massively underrated ! After having finished all Outcasts, True Son and Hyenas first time, and Black Tusk came in, I realized how much wrong I was about this game. Sooo much development went into this one! Especially the lores, goshhh ! So relatable to our world!
The division games have been some of my favorites just because of the story and feel. I recently picked up division 1 on steam to replay and I love it. I'm a solo player as well though and I dislike pvp for the most part. I would get melted by meta builds but I couldn't ever put an amazing build together myself.
It's hard to see that the end game just isn't great still. I'm going to pick up division 2 though and play it again. I hope I can find something in the end game that I enjoy farming.
My experience with Division 1: the game was challenging. I would build a really strong PVE character and find that Ubisoft nerfed the build I used only weeks later. This trend continued and i eventually quit playing it.
Over all it was a fun game.
Now I play Division 2. So far the game play feels a bit more balanced. I can’t say how the dark zone is. I’m still playing the first run on the story. My playing style is campaign and co-op.
I am not a strong PVP player.
So I’d give both games a high fun score for co-op. I hope a Division 3 will be out in the near future
I really want D1 map and atmosphere with D2 gameplay
Well I like both i agree with most of your points but I'd like to say one thing I don't like that they killed Aaron keener I feel like in the next game he could have either played a part as a hero or villain idkI personally love keener and think he was a great character but the main reason I play the division 2 over the division is just I don't the dlcs for the division and so I don't have much to do on it but with the division 2 I have the open world activities to do, and just a bunk of other stuff but I don't like the seasons bc if your not a person that actually will do the tasks and stuff then you miss out on so much of the story they are trying to tell and I don't usually have enough time daily to do the missions and stuff so I usually just get the story from your vids
Can you please make a longer version of your intro sound? Like 30 second or a minute...
Division2 all the way. I love the grim snowy atmosphere of Division 1, but the gameplay and the fantastic natural animations of player character, where almost every movement has weight and inertia, in addition to QOL in Division 2 is what makes me to play it over Division 1. And its not like Division 2 has bad atmosphere, especially at night. For a looter shooter, smooth game mechanics and animations carry more weight for me, than slightly worse atmosphere.
@NGN any thoughts on Kenly?
I’m a new player to the genre, about 4 months ago Mattpatt on Gametheory made a TH-cam video about the division which welcomed me to the new world. I got the first one and LOVED it. I played the campaign solo for and beat it by myself. I’ll never forget going into the dark zone for the first time. I had the weakest level 30 gear and was no where near ready. I remember running away from any enemies I came across, being scared shitless, my palms being sweaty and my heart pounding in my chest. It was genuinely terrifying. And in my opinion, that’s a GOOD thing. It made me feel immersed into the world and the story, kept me on my toes, and made me feel a way about a game I’ve NEVER felt before. It was a whole new experience and I loved it. I eventually leveled up and got stronger, i can actually survive and fight no problem in the dark zone, but man it was so scary at first. It was amazing I’ll never forget my first time going into the DZ. The division 2, in my opinion, wasn’t as scary. Once I reached level 40 I got lucky and got the chameleon first thing. Which helped me drastically when going to the dark zone. I got merked by other players, but that was more frustrating than it was scary. I was just so outclassed gear wise there was nothing I could do. Which imo is my biggest problem with the game. As a new player you’re kinda screwed cause most people playing now have been playing for years and not only do they not want to play with new people, but they actively avoid playing with new people. They also take advantage of them and kill them repeatedly (basically bullying) to help themselves get manhunt and other things. It makes new people like me not want to play the game at all cause I just can’t compete. They need to fix the balance to make it easier for new people to get top gear quickly so they can actually play the game and fight other people instead of constantly getting killed and bats toy by everyone
I love how you break it down into definable categories and then explain how the games are different instead of just explaining how it's bad or being subjective about what you like about it 😁
I mean the Division franchise itself is the bee's knees and we wouldn't be commenting otherwise.
Would you recommend the game for a solo, never on a party, rather blow teammates with several grenade than being part of their strategies, kind of player like myself?
Which one? I predominantly played both of these solo. But TD2 was certainly a little easier solo.
@@NGN Any of them really, i'll give it a try on TD2 since its on discount for the Ubisoft E3 event. Thanks.
I got division 1 on xbox release day and loved us but i stopped playing b4 dlc come out. then i got division 2 release day played the story n left it at that till my sis got it so i booted it up again and got the dlc. i still love playing but now i have d1 for ps so playing through that at mo and loving it again.
Nothing will ever beat roaming the Dark Zone at night with a blizzard obscuring you view, and you camping an extraction point hoping nobody rolls up on your squad. It was just flat out amazingly intense.
I love both, but I find it easier to make builds in TD2.
Dark Zones in Division 2 are only worth going there in any level previous to 30 to get good gear and since you're relatively on the lower percentage of players that aren't level 40 yet, you don't come across many tryhards camping entrances to get an easy manhunt. After hitting max level, you only go there for the pvp and that's about it
I do enjoy the storyline in the first Division game. It was a bit darker, we still didn't know what was going on. Although if you had to just buy one game, I'd go with 2 because you can play in both DC and New York with the expansion.
I've played both (2 before 1) and honestly I've enjoyed 2 a lot more
Im a super solo player. And d2 has a ton to chew on.
If d1 isnt super punishing and things to do, like side missions, i might give it a run.
Super good impression for 2 tho walking out and seeing so much life.
Seeing d1 as a dead city would be a nice addition to the palette.
I lived in Cali my whole life… it’s the same theme as Washington summer, I’ve always wanted to go into a cold climate and touch snow hahaha this is the closest ima get for the time being and they nailed it. The attention to detail is insane! In The Division 1
Division 1 provides audio recordings of human responses that were eerily similar to what i or others have said, done, or seen during the covid pandemic. Difference being we'd have pockets of covid outbreaks which would strain medical logistics, eapecially when a small community hospital receives a massive increase in patients. We arent allowed to turn them away either, even though our smaller community hospital was overcapacity by 200 people. Wed have to borrow from our other hospital networks, but they too would also run out of things like antiemetics, cough medicines, etc. Fortunately, the bodies we stacked were still alive but 3 entire floors had to be used for covid patients. I remember at one point we had covid patients resting on gurneys waiting in the emergency room in the hallways, waiting to get a room.
I still think The Division 2's enviornments are grossly bloated. While The Division 1 didn't have as many activities it was much more freeing to explore without the gnawing and constant reminder of activities nearby or the game deciding it's been too quiet for too long and spawning random encounters.
So many people bitched about how little there was to do in the LZ that there's times in D2 where I feel like I don't get to just explore uninterrupted. The Division 1 had civilians milling about. Scavenging, hunting for what few supplies may of remained. They asked for help, they'd call from the windows. Some hated seeing you around, thinking you brought trouble, others would warn you of bad guys that were actually right up the street. The Division 2 to me doesn't feel more alive as much as it feels cartoonishly over encumbered by this need to keep the player busy.
The Division 2 could've done more with building up smaller settlements or communities around the city. Some side missions literally take place in areas where old settlements had tried to flourish. They could've had more rag tag civilians, unarmed or armed only with a pistol wandering about, digging through trash or old gardens. The initial reveal trailer made it seem like that'd be the case but more often than not it's just enemies over and over and over. The world just feels so...Stale.
Granted Div 1 had the same enemy spawns in many pre designated spots but it felt more immersive yeah. People living their lives. Rioters trying to rob and take advantage of others, the game just had more urgency to simply survive and come back stronger. Meanwhile the second game throws your original character out the window (Getting off initial topic) and the interactions that should be super intense had it been your OG agent come off as watered down and lackluster at best.
Personally I want 1, just with everything 2 has done to improve it and nothing taken out. Throw in heartlands ability to crouch and stealthily melee enemies and we have a winner.
If I’m a call of duty player and only play online which game would you suggest?
Game worth playing now that it came to steam? Player count online seems to be near dead and the updates are slow coming usually signaling that they might pull the plug
The one complaint I have with both games (other than poor pvp balance) is that new content took a while to come to both, and that for the first year or so, said new content felt like it was stuff that should have been in there at release (max world tier for example). Didn't help either that balance was always poor on release, and that it took resources away to rebalance everything both times
Yes I love division 1, and it's what sparked my immediate love for the series, going as far as to buying a SM gear 3 and putting a spiritual division watch face on it and buying apps to replicate 2hat the actual watch can do. Now I must say, after TU1.9, I feel off of the game and went back to division 1 until I figured things out, but lately I've been pushing myself to rewire my brain to understand the build structure, and in doing this I've realized how much I love and miss this game. But, the thing with division 2 is that it's so much more diverse and with a bigger story than division 1. The map is so much more engaging and tactical, division 1 is all city and big buildings. Division 2 is diverse with biomes and different environmental situations. And there's so much more to do than 1, builds alone are part of it, division 1 is at its peak of potential of builds, 2 isn't. Just today I updated my Scorpio build with ridgeways chest and it rips, should be considered a war crime for using it when you get fire rounds. I love division 1 absolutely and is one of my top favorites, but 2 has so much more character to it and actually challenges me on how to play game and making builds. I've pretty much mastered division 1 build making, 2 has so many possibilities for builds it's near infinite. I fell back in love with division 2 because now it's challenging and really makes me think of my build and how to use it instead of making it easy like division 1, 2 is technical and really gets into playstyle and how to make them better.
I absolutely love both but division 2 as a whole takes it for me. Your absolutely right about the environment though. If they put division 2 game and put it on division 1 new york it would be perfect
When Division 2 came out i used to say "This is what Division 1 was supposed to be". But what done is done.
My favourite thing about D2 is how when you capture a control point, NPCs will then go to scavenge for water food and components, and will sometimes have to compete with enemies to do so. They actually leave their base, go to an area to scavenge and return which also grants the control point resources.
If you want to see absolute, uncurable aidscancer, take a look at the comments section in the Extra Credits video about "The Division sucks because politics" video. I have never seen people defend psychos with flamethrowers and hardened prison escapees in my life. My favorite comments had to be the people saying how much they identified with the Cleaners, and that we shouldn't be killing the Rikers because "breaking out of prison isn't a capital offense."
My hope that next Division game is going have dark story but has Aspect of Division 1 and Division 2 because it could add more deep mean to outbreak and how people live they lifes though it
An excellent comparison, thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I was getting sick from all the : "NAAAA DIVISION 1 IS SO MUCH BETTAH MATE WHAT A LOSER STOP PLAYIN DIV2 HAHAAA"
Like you, I quite enjoyed D1, but I prefer D2 overall in terms of game feel. If someone likes D1 better, not a problem for me. To each their own. As a solo PvE player, my thing is not so much the looting as the story, so I'd really like to see the plot develop and actually go somewhere, and I like the plot furtherance in D2. I fall more into the "good guys vs bad guys" camp, but "some" ambiguity between good and bad is OK as long as it's not overdone. If this game continues, I'd like to to see the bigger picture and how my actions as an agent are affecting that.
I recently have been working my way through several tom Clancy's games and your videos have definitely made the games much more enjoyable with your lore videos
NGN i have a question off-topic from the Div1 VS Div2 debate:
Q: Do you think the Division franchise should have done like World of Warcraft, as one mega game with constant updates and expansions, instead of a Division 2, Division 3, Division 4 etc?
My question is inspired by my friend who plays WOW way back in 2018 when Division 2 was just announced. He questioned the viability of having multiple games in the first place, saying that this is all just to make us spend more money. Massive could have just revamped the movement and combat for Div 1 to Div 2 standards, combined both worlds into a Manhattan Chapter and Washington Chapter, made ALL the content from both sides accessible to all players (i.e. Incursions, Raids, Summit, Underground, Survival, Last Stand, all Legendary Missions and whatever that may come out in Heartland).
Previously, I just laughed it off, but now with Division 3 rumors being active now, I start to see my friend's point, that just releasing more games is just a cash cow to them at our monetary expense. What do you think, would it be possible?
You’re officially my Tom Clancy channel from now on. I don’t remember liking Division 2 as much, but I loved 1. I feel like I should revisit. Wanna get pumped for Heartland
