    Not impressed

    Played 10hrs of Beta and I don't feel the game worth the price at all. I was looking for the Dark Zone Edition because of the Heather ward statue, but the game is just a new map and missions.

    1. The worst part is the CPU issue. Now you can't set the priority and the affinity of the process that makes the game unplayable. The game consumes 100% of CPU, and the new anti cheat don't allow you to change the priority and affinity of the game executable process. I can't buy this game and have the same issue of The Division 1.

    2. The interface design is worst than the v1. On weapon customization screen is so hard to realize that you need to double click the little square to attach mods to the weapon. The UI is a mess, is very hard to find the important things and understand what is happening.

    3. Settlements looks nice, but lacks engagement. The settlements look very shallow, you don't feel like a "big safe house", just a quest hub with some facilities you have in your base. Would look better to me if you help build it and evolve.

    4. Control Points are a good idea, but is just kill mobs like any other place in the map. I don't feel like it is a controlled area by a group. Is the same feeling of the battles against the mobs you fond roaming on the streets.

    5. Character design has no improvements. You can't customize your character yet, the random looks show that have a low number of customizations. Not a big issue, but looks very lazy.

    The game has new stuff, but looks like a DLC for v1. The full price + Season Pass for this game looks very greed. € 99,99 looks outrageous for the amount of work done on v2. Have no fixes and changes on the core of engine and the game itself. The Division 2 is only new content, no improvements to the game at all to worth pay a full price on this game. Insist in Season Pass shows that Ubisoft is just trying to get the last cents in this business model. I can't do a better review due to the CPU issue, the same issue of v1 that affect a lot of players.

    Couldn't agree more

    They took a great game in 'The Division' and re-skinned it all while complicating the menu system and changing the UI. What happened to the developers who made the first game? Did they all quit???

    It's a common issue since v1: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...n-2-app-Forums

    The players with that issue workaround it by set the affinity, allowing the game to use only half of CPU cores.

    I'm not sure I understand because it doesn't affect everyone, are you using a cpu that is below recommended spec? or a really high core count cpu?

    As you can see on the post I linked, people use better CPU than the minimum recommended.

    The minimum recommended is for 1080p 30fps for 60 fps is was a 4790 which could be argued to be better than a 6600.
    Have you tried using directX 12?

    I didn't experience any CPU issues, but I agree with your other points (2-5). Also, I have the feeling that build diversity isn't going to be the same. Seems to me they took the Destiny route, in which all specializations are just different ways of dealing damage and each player is mostly self-sufficient (dealing damage with a little bit of healing and a little bit of tanking), but I hope I'm wrong, because I'd love to play a healer specialization.

    I definitely don't think it's a reskin. New story, new locale, but they did however screw up a lot of the good mechanics in D1. Personally, I like the new locale, mission and story. I just want everything else back from D1. Why can't these games port our last toon, and raise the level to 60 or something cool like that? Wouldn't mind if they stripped our clothes, just let me keep the stuff I earned.
