I’m psyched for The Division. I like the idea of a third-person vaguely MMO game. Plus the story behind it seems really cool. I’m just getting tired of the marketing approach they’re taking – one or two screens at a time? Really? Don’t we deserve a gallery, or maybe a trailer?
First up, we get this pretty concept art of a barricaded/fortified hospital:
Hmm, considering the game centers around an illness, a hospital seems fitting somehow. Also, as we’ve learned from previous games, the easiest thing to barricade is a hospital – can separate floors, plus there are plenty of supplies. I’m sure during the apocalypse, even hospital food is worthwhile.
Next up is a picture of an ambush, I think. At least, judging by the twitter comment, we can assume an ambush is imminent:
In case of an ambush, who would be the last man standing in your team? Mention your friends and see if they agree! pic.twitter.com/bPw9yBHCJH

The game is looking cool, but I’m honestly getting tired of these odd screenshots. I want a new trailer or gameplay footage. I don’t even mind if it’s just companion app footage – just something to show me what I can look forward to. Anyone can draw up a pretty, winter apocalypse New York City picture – I want to see something that shows off the actual game.
Do these images keep you aboard the hype train, or are you itching for something more? Is The Division your type of game, or are you more psyched for Destiny, or already playing Titanfall?

The kind that promises some human interaction, but when when it does there’s only blood and violence.
I’d rather stay #ForeverSP than that.

These 2 screen shots at a time are starting to become rather dull and making me loose interest in The Division. I mean the screen shots weren’t exactly breath taking or anything either that I have seen.

The last one standing would be me, because there is an “i” in “teiam”.

I can’t see that, blocked at work. If it’s the t-shirt that says “TEIAM” across the front, then yes.

I don’t think I’ve been hyped for a shooter since Doom 2. I enjoy them, just not something that I get excited about. Far more hyped about Witcher 3 & Star Citizen – and those are soooooooo faaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr away.

Barricaded hospitals in games reminds me of Silent Hill. I miss Silent Hill.
