The Division Breaks More Sales Records, Passes Destiny

@7tizz: That's the problem, he's not wrong about the game but there's not much else to play on the new consoles, so it automatically sells like hot cakes.

@Rambolike: It's ok, man. We don't all have to like the same things. I dare say, you probably like some games that others think are terrible. Just play the games you enjoy and don't get all flustered because something you don't like is doing well. Also, there are plenty of innovative games coming out all the time. They're called indies. You should check them out since you're smarter (and more masculine) than everyone else. :)

@Rambolike: Its amusing to see you seeking some kind of grand innovative sophisticated experience while resorting to generalized over-used insults toward a group of people who just enjoy a different type of game.

Not everyone has to enjoy what you enjoy.

@Rambolike: The Division is pretty innovative, but it's clear the real issue here is that it's not for you which means it's bad- we get it tough guy.

@Rambolike: don't be putting battlefield in there with the rest of that junk.

@Rambolike: "and then we wonder why there aren't many innovative games coming out"

It's because we're just not paying attention. The innovation is in the indie/small budget market. AAA is risk averse, but it's all most gamers ever pay attention to, so they assume AAA is all there is to gaming.

@Evil_Sidekick: Games like this existing does not stop others types of games from existing. If you don't like this kind of game, that's totally fine. Play the games you like and let others play the types of games they like. Hoping for an entire style of game that lots of people enjoy will go away because you don't personally like it is incredibly petty.

Last time I checked two of the biggest games last year were SP only (Fallout 4 and Witcher 3), so let's lay off the melodrama. Online only games have existed for decades and, last time I checked, single player games still not only exist, but are incredibly popular.

@Evil_Sidekick:

I totally understand what you're saying and that was one of my reservations for buying.

If I didn't have a friend who plays I would have skipped. I decided to buy it as cheaply as I could ($35) and I got physical discs on PC instead of digital.

When they do getting around to killing the servers in 5 years, I'll still own something tangible.

@Evil_Sidekick: Oh, is gaming dying again? I'm sure this time it'll be true. : p

@berserker66666:

The open beta should have been enough for anyone to buy into or ignore the hype.

@berserker66666: I think the game is awesome each to their own

@berserker66666: For you it's mediocre, for me it's great! Glad we can all have opinions.

@berserker66666: Thats the power of a great game. IYO its mediocre at best.

@off3nc3: A week of twitch tv is probably more than most people have put into the game yet so... I mean I get your opinion, but not many games hold up to being watched for extended periods of time unless they are heavily mechanics based or very creative. D3 viewership isnt burning up the twitch charts.

@Mr_Mark_Legion: Isn't that a bit like asking people to compare hand gliding with stamp collecting?

@RicanV: Do first couple of day sales really show a 'quality product'? I wouldn't say so, not saying it isn't quality but when people are buying a game in their droves at initial launch I'd say that is more to do with marketing and hype. Heck even the reviews were held back.
