Looter Shooter Game
Right now everybody talks about raid - many complain, some are satisfied with it, but...
I would like to touch on something much more deeper and important right now.
What makes a good looter shooter game?
1. Promising reward/item/drop loop that make players go after it
2. Interesting, repeatable and engaging activities that allow (point number 1)
3. Good combat system that is fun and pleasant enough to hook you in game and make point 1 and 2 fun for hours
4 New content - events, activities, modes and items added to the game to keep it fresh
And now - is Division 2 a good looter shooter game today? The answer is no. This game has many core problems that need to be adressed, because right now:
Point number one does not really exist - loot is not rewarding, sets are not worth chasing, there are way way to litlle special items like exotics to chase for. This is the biggest problem in my opinion right now, becasue even with good execution of points 2,3 and 4 - without point number 1, well...
Point number 2 - I would say that there are many activities but without point number 1 it gets boring very fast. Game is still pretty fresh so we can expect more content come, or at least wish for it.
Point number 3 - combat overall is good in this game, but.. enemies Ai have to come back where its been, skills have to be adjusted to be more effective in game, more exotic weapons and sets that change gameplay style have to be added
Point number 4 - As I said game is fresh so I don't expect it to be added quickly but some time events would be nice.
So here you have Massive - fair and simple recipe for a Good Looter Shotter Game. Its simple and I think at this state of the game still doable. So do you want this game to step up as a good game overall or to be doomed as a forgotten potential???
I purposely didn't say anything about PVP - I'm not a PVP player in this genre because in my opinion it does not work very well. There are many better games for PVP shooting in my opinion, but thats just my point of view.
