A devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, The Division agents are trained to operate independently of command, as all else fails.
Fighting to prevent the fall of society, the agents will find themselves caught up in an epic conspiracy, forced to combat not only the effects of a manmade virus, but also the rising threat of those behind it. When everything collapses, your mission begins.
Reprise your role as a supernatural assassin in Dishonored 2, the highly anticipated follow up to Arkane Studios’ 2012 Game of the Year!
Explore a world unlike any other as either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano - both powerful assassins with their own unique set of supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets. Define your own playstyle by blending immersive first-person action, assassination, stealth, mobility, and the game’s brutal combat system.
Combine the tools at your disposal to creatively eliminate your enemies whether you choose to pursue them unseen or ruthlessly attack head on with weapons drawn.
Show no mercy and leave chaos in your wake or find a more subtle way to eliminate your targets. More than ever the choices you make will determine the outcome of each mission, and ultimately the game.

The division was £14.85 when I looked an hour or two ago, glad I didn't jump straight in :smile:

I have (PS4) I'd say it's worth £13. Just make sure to do side quests/missions to level up first as some of the main missions are challenging, even with teammates

i think it'll be one of those games people have left for other games by now meaning not many people around to play with.

This might not help - but I've never felt more conflicted about a game.
For what it's worth, I never play multiplayer - I just play the solo campaigns on COD or Battlefield or whatever. So I'm only commenting on my single-player experience.
The setting is great, and very atmospheric. In theory, it's a great sandbox to play in.
However, you should know from the start that this game REQUIRES an internet connection to work. Without a network connection, you literally cannot play. If your internet at home goes down, or breaks up, you cannot play. There is no "offline" single player. You might like to know this before spending even £12.
I found the game to be pointless, frustrating, repetitive and occasionally impossible. They really shouldn't sell this as a "single player" game, as it is all but impossible on your own. You will play through the same fights, over and over again, getting nowhere, just dying and dying and dying and dying. And then your internet connection will drop and the game will kick you off. And then you'll reset your router and try again. And die again. And again.
If you ever make any progress, you will encounter the same pointless enemies over and over and over again.
And you'll spend hours rummaging around in bins like some kind of digital homeless person, looking for ever-so-slightly better gloves. I mean, really. Life is short, people.
Maybe with a bunch of mates or random others online, this could be a laugh. You can go and kill each other in the "dark zone" (or whatever it's called), which basically everyone tells you not to enter because you'll die and die and die and die. And someone else will get those slightly-better gloves.
I really wanted to like this game. I didn't. This is not GTA or Assassin's Creed in New York or COD or anything. It's just awful.
More than anything, I began to resent the developers for insisting on constant internet connection. I just don't like where this takes games. Maybe WOW or other games are already like this, but they don't pretend otherwise.
Anyway, watch the reviews on YouTube and decide if this is your sort of thing. But don't be fooled into thinking that this is a great, dark, snowy version of GTA. It's not. It's pish. And you don't need those gloves. Go outside and enjoy the world instead.
Er... rant over. :smiley:

Great price for Dishonored, but by the time I have a chance to play it, it'll be that price anyway I'd imagine. Heat.

I never have any problems matchmaking with people on Xbox One, I think a lot of people came back after all the updates.
