The Ubisoft E3 2016 press conference was held today, and it was quite interesting. Aisha Tyler came back, there were dancing animals, and there were quite a few cool games and announcements. Check out our coverage of everything that went down at Ubisoft E3 2016 below: 3:56pm – The show has begun! 3:56pm – 4:00pm – Insane awkwardness. I feel sorry for ...

Before The Division was released, it was speculated that even though there would not be any traditional raids, additional endgame content in the form of Incursions would function as the rough equivalent to raids. As it turns out, that speculation is more or less correct, as the release of The Division’s first Incursion has proven. However, it appears as though ...

On April 12th, The Division will receive some fresh, new content in the form of Incursions, alongside some new sets of armor, new ways to get Phoenix Credits, and some new features that is intended to improve your experience in the game. It should be noted however that this new gear will not make your existing gear obsolete. Instead, it ...

Regardless of whether you spent one hour or a hundred hours (or even simply watched a Let’s Play) in The Division, it is hard to deny that it is a game that successfully brought together two very popular genres: stat-heavy RPGs and pseudo-realistic third person shooters. To it’s credit, The Division is a well made game overall. But even the most ...

If there is one lesson that Role Playing Games had to learn the hard way, it’s that a good RPG has to have some kind of endgame content to encourage you to keep playing the game, even if you already got the best loot possible and such. The Division is no different, and to that end, it features multiple endgame ...

Following the update to The Division’s Ubisoft Club rewards page that led to some (reasonable) concerns over whether or not The Division will be “pay to win”, Ubisoft’s Community Manager, natchai, stated that “There will be no microtransactions, and definitely no P2W” on Twitter. Normally, this would mean that the case is closed, the mystery is solved, and everyone can go ...

Like most RPGs, The Division has a currency system that lets you get progressively better gear from vendors, offering an alternative to human sacrifices to the Random Number Generator god for good loot. On paper, that sounds fine and dandy in that it guarantees that those who are dedicated to playing the game will be rewarded, even if they are ...

If you’ve missed your chance to try out The Division during the last closed beta period, then you’re in luck, because Ubisoft just announced that The Division will have an open beta that anyone can join. To do so, all you have to do is wait until February 16, at which point you can pre-download the beta from your platform’s ...

In a statement that serves only to reignite the good old PC vs. consoles war, an unnamed Ubisoft developer stated that the PC version of The Division had to be kept “in check with consoles because it would kind of be unfair just to push it so far away from them.” Putting aside the fact that you can’t really test the ...

After standing in line for the midnight release of Unity last year and getting home to a broken game that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish (despite the enormous amount of potential that the setting provided), I was afraid for Syndicate (though, at the time, we all thought we’d be playing a game called Assassin’s Creed Victory). Would Syndicate make the same mistakes that Unity did? Would this ...
