I managed to find a workaround for my Easy Anti-Cheat issue so I'm back to **The Division 2**. Well, kinda. I once again ended up installing the first game and spent some time alternating between the two to compare them - it's something I do pretty much every time I'm in the mood for TD. As much as I like TD2, I refreshed my realisation that in many aspects I still prefer the first game. I actually made a simple list last night of what I like about each game and it turned out way more one sided than I thought it would. TD1: - Atmosphere - Game world - Enemy factions - Writing - Slightly slower pace (movement, combat. looting) - Cosmetics (UI and items themselves) - Dark Zone - Exotic weapons (in regards to looks, TD2 ones are hideous) TD2: - Improved cover system - Armour and weakpoint systems There are also some things I keep going back and forth on, mainly: gunplay and skills. Which game I prefer for these elements depends on how I feel and what I'm looking for at the time. This week, the first game comes out on top as well but, again, it's more of a temporary decision compared to everything listed above. Anyway, this is just a simple comparison without much thought put into it. I'm sure I could get more into details of specific systems and add a ton of conditions on when one is better than the other but it was a fun time waster after finishing a day with both titles. If only there was a way to play the first game on the updated engine...
