The Divison 1 is the better game. snow covered NY was amazing. I couldn't get into TD2. I thought Ubisoft had moved on but I guess not. I really miss The Division but not sure if it's worth going back to.
Nah. The Division 2 is by far the better game, in every department except atmosphere. Massive made significant improvements in netcode, movement, gunplay, the list goes on.
The game was down for a day due to server code update issues so I fired up the first game to mess around and was quickly reminded how much better The Division 2 plays.
FWIW, later this year the story takes us back to Brooklyn in upcoming DLC. Should be interesting to see how the story unfolds, though based on the timeline it will likely still be in the summer. Most of New York is messed up due to the cat 5 hurricane that occurred canonically so Brooklyn will likely be really jacked up as well.
