The host preemptively counters 'skill issue' claims while revealing he's played The Division 2 more than any other game.

The episode begins with the host preemptively addressing potential 'skill issue' criticisms about his views on The Division 2. He reveals he has played The Division 2 more than any other game across his PC and Xbox libraries. The host reflects on Ubisoft's earlier successes with Rainbow Six Siege and The Division 1, noting how the community from Siege was a positive aspect. He argues that Rainbow Six Siege's success negatively impacted other Ubisoft games as the company tried to replicate its momentum. The host declares The Division 2 could be the best game of all time if done correctly, but criticizes its current state. He explains the game's premise, set in a pandemic-affected Washington DC with missions involving killing enemies and capturing territories. The host details the gameplay loop, including PvP and PvE modes like raids and incursions. He criticizes the shooting mechanics, where enemies don't die quickly even with powerful weapons, especially on higher difficulties. The host passionately argues for a zombie mode in The Division 2, referencing his love for zombie games like Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty Zombies. He contrasts this with Ubisoft's claim that zombies aren't realistic, pointing out existing unrealistic elements like enemy AI behavior. The host mentions The Day Before as a missed opportunity for a Division-like zombie game. He describes unrealistic scenarios in The Division 2, such as enemies running directly at players instead of taking cover. The host compares it to more realistic games like Gray Zone Warfare. He criticizes the season pass and loot system, noting low drop rates for desired weapons. The episode ends with the host suggesting Ubisoft should allow mod support to let fans improve the game.
