The Division's Evolution from MMO Concept
Massive Entertainment's revelation about The Division's origins is both intriguing and disappointing. Initially envisioned as a World of Warcraft-style MMORPG, the absence of a skill component ultimately reshaped its identity. This shift resulted in a game that feels more like a cover shooter than an RPG, lacking depth in character progression. - The potential for a rich, immersive world was squandered in favor of a more action-oriented approach. - While the game has its merits, one can't help but wonder how it might have thrived with a more complex system. The current iteration, though popular, often feels like a missed opportunity. In conclusion, a deeper exploration of the MMO aspects could have offered players a more rewarding experience. For those interested in the full story, read more here. It's a fascinating 'what could have been' scenario.
