The podcast announcement is weird. Like I feel like it was a "we need more content for Division to keep interest going" and this idea got tossed out and was accepted. If the podcast focused on characters from the two games and explained how they survived and tactics used..that could be cool..but this sounds like it might the same content as dozens of other YT survivalist.
However, I am for any Division content. Excited for the new expansion.

I liked both Division 1 and 2. Would have kept playing if they didn't largely abandon the game. After Warlords of New York there was just a whole lot of nothing and I stopped playing.

For me it was the environment. Setting the game in New York during the freezing winter was a genius move.

The setting is a huge part of it. Division 1 had unmatched atmosphere, I booted it up a couple weeks ago and I couldn't believe it is a PS4 game.

Division 1 had a great setting and it helped that I played it for the first time during the covid quarantine. No other game really had that kind of atmosphere. That being said, it didn't really have much else that clicked for me other than the pristine gunplay. It's your typical modern, AAA Ubisoft game and has every single design feature they've been using for the past 15 years. Collectibles everywhere, roaming groups of enemies, and as good as it was the environment is just another static, Ubisoft world. It's a great ten dollar, play it once then uninstall forever kind of game. That being said I think it is worth playing that one time for sure.

Actually played and finished the division 2, Washington DC was awesome, and overall it’s a solid third person shooter.

D2 campaign was just too easy. I steamrolled through what I played and it couldn’t keep my interest. D1 is one of my favorite games.

I only play with a friend so I can't say much about matchmaking etc, but I always see people at the main hub whenever I'm there, and I created a clan for the sole purpose of the weekly rewards for us and somehow people keep joining without me doing anything lol, so there must be a decent number of people playing.

For me it was also how they let you enter random locales within the city, like apartments, malls, random stores, business centers, etc. and go up and down multiple floors to find bits of lore, items, weapons, and clothing.
In many other games where you’d have tons of invisible walls or locked doors(and this game still had a few), it definitely added to the sense of immersion.

Division 2 deserved much more support from Ubisoft. The amount of flops they've put out chasing trends when they already had a great live service game is laughable.

Snowy NY is so much cooler than whatever changing weather in DC

That was the plan a season ago, but they received so much backlash that they scrapped it. Not sure if they were planning to rework it or if the concept is done period.
Give it a shot. It’s always on sale on steam (assuming you play PC). I installed it on the Steam Deck and it runs flawlessly.

Same here. Division was pure crack. Absolutely magic. 2 just felt..meh. No idea as to why.

This is a very like superficial reason but for me it was the setting didn’t do much for me.
I love NYC and I miss it dearly and DC just wasn’t as interesting to me.

I grew up in NY and worked in the city for years. Totally agree with you. It hit such a sweet spot for me.

I definitely gravitate to media set there or clearly meant to be like GTAIV, Mafia, Sopranos, etc.
It’s comfy.

I liked 2 quite a bit but I loved the first one, still hoping they release a 60fps patch at some point

If you have an Xbox, it's FPS boosted on both Series consoles, Series X runs at native 4K/60 thanks to it previously having a One X resolution boost.

I just tried Division 1 recently i just couldn't get into it as all the enemys seem to be bullet sponges, is the second one the same.

I think a rainy/flooded Chicago or London would make for a good sequel.
(And yes I know the Watch Dogs franchise technically covered both areas already)

Snowy Chicago would be dope. But truth be told I’d like to see something international. Montreal would be cool as Ubi’s hometown.
Asian city would be cool too.
