When Tom Clancy's The Division was first unveiled at the E3 convention in 2013, it was a raging success with gamers all over the world. Everything about it, right from the multiplayer settings to the open world city that the game was staged in, was exciting. But gradually, the glitches began to surface. Fans initially brushed it away as a beginner's norm.
But then, as The Bitbag recalls, the makers of the game began to release weekly updates to fix the abundance of bugs that the game was plagued with. Even that was welcomed by fans, who considered it as a genuine effort by the team directed at giving fans a hassle-free experience.
Unfortunately, at one point, the updates became too many, and were being released too frequently. In spite of this, the game never seemed to get better. And thus, user interest in this once-popular game has now waned beyond expectations.
Game & Guide discusses the other reasons that have contributed to this rapidly decreasing fan love, which include an endless progression of levels that seem to bring the gamer nowhere. To be fair, it eventually became frustrating for users to have to play without reaching an end. Another reason is the mediocre storyline that the game is based on. Topped with the endless glitches and bugs, it was no wonder that Tom Clancy's: The Division faced its sudden demise.
The DLC packs and expansions have done nothing to turn things around, either. Maybe if Ubisoft Massive, the game's developers, manage to execute a major revamp, the game could revive its former glory. The guns need to be balanced, the storyline needs to be spiced up, and above all, the game needs to come with a fun, yet attainable, goal.
