Did a search and found nothing.

Is this game worth getting. I'm late to the party but just got a system again and it looks fun. If I don't have people to play with is it still worth getting?

Looking for a shooter game and don't want infinite warfare and have mixed opinions on MWR. Looking for something fun to play. Ultimately will prob get MWR as well, not sure.

They've improved it a lot since launch and it's a really fun game, but it's super unforgiving solo. You can matchmake pretty much the entire game if you want if you don't have any friends playing, although matchmaking in the past had been spotty at best. Sometimes it would find people instantaneously and most other times the wheel would just keep spinning.

And if you do have friends who have already been playing and they have a character somewhat leveled, there's no point in playing with them because the game scales up the enemies to the highest leveled player. So if you're a level 5 and your friend is a 15, everything you see will be 15 and you'll get destroyed. There's no level syncing for missions. Unless they fixed this too in some of the recent patches.

Appreciate the feedback.

The DLC they just announced looks pretty interesting. 8v8 objective multiplayer, but I've been reluctant to purchase any extra content for this game.

Cool... I played the Beta, and it turned me off of the game. This sounds like it might be worth revisiting.

Apparently there's another big patch coming out soon. I play the game in spurts and then get frustrated at how much it punishes you for playing solo.

I bought it when it was on sale last week or so. It's greatly improved since the beta. Playing with a crew is absolutely preferable to going solo but it's still satisfying completing missions by yourself. I didn't spring for the dlc just yet but I've got no problem recommending the game

My son just got it because his buddies started playing. Wish I got it at year when it came out. I thought it was different from the early, beta, YouTube videos. Totally different than I thought. I'll be logging quite a few hours into this in the coming weeks.

Been having lots of fun with it. Bought it for the Xbox One during Christmas sales. Got the ultimate edition of the game for $36.00.

Downloading it on my PC right now. Just got an email from Nvidia through the GeForce Experience app with a code that was good for either The Division or Watch Dogs 2. Watch Dogs 2 was out of stock when I redeemed the code, but I wouldn't want to play that piece of shite anyway!!!!

I am also signed up for the For Honor closed beta coming up the 26th to 29th.

It's fun to play if you have some dedicated friends or match up with others.


It's lonely grind if you go solo and probably not the game for you if you don't have anyone to play with.

I got your friend request. I may play The Division tonight. So far Battlefield 1 has me sucked in. I'm thinking about buying Battlefield 4 and Black Ops III for the PS4.

The last Gears of War I played was GoW3. I've noticed that GoW:Judgement came out. Correct me if I'm wrong on that title. And, GoW4 is out as well. Do I need to play GoW:Judgement before I play GoW4? I need some games to play for my Xbox One S. Its kinda collecting dust.

What else is good for PS4 and XBOS? I've heard Uncharted is excellent. Anyway, let me know guys. Thank you.
