Destiny 2 or Division?

[RubADuck]

Which one offers more?
Destiny 2 would be Witch Queen DLC.
But is at double the price? ~20€

How much playtime is there for a casual?

i like the setting of dev 2 but pve is dead unless you do everything solo and pvp is just as bad as destiny. they are pve games trying to balance those pve gun for pvp and it just can not work. so really id destiny is better right now.

"Offers more" is highly subjective considering how different the games.

Destiny 2 offers a variety of stuff to do for free if you want to try it out and decide if you want to buy into it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2691498745
If you do want to buy into it then I suggest Witch Queen Deluxe first.

No I already played it years ago but now I want to play a looter shooter again and saw that The Division 1 is on Sale for ~10€.

So the base game is already done on Destiny 2. The reason I put Witchqueen DLC there^^.

Division 1 is dead as far I know. You gonna get maybe ~80 hours of content and then you just farm gear most of the time. Destiny is better because it's at least supported and have regular updates.

1. Don't ask that here, you will always get people who are more biased towards Destiny 2. Same with Division, don't ask there because bias is in both places.

2. Division 1 is mostly a dead game, it has a very small population and a lot of the things that made it great are just downright terrible systems. I would recommend buying the Division 2 with all its DLC, AT THE LEAST to have a enjoyable experience. Especially Warlords of New York.

That said to your original question:
Destiny 2 and The Division are two completely different games. Their only resemblance being both are "looter-shooters".

They have vastly different gameplay. Destiny 2 is more of a arcade-style first person shooter similar to Call of Duty or Batlefield, but with Hero Shooter esk combat. Think of Borderlands. If you like Borderlands and want a more serious tone similar game, then pick up Destiny 2 with DLC,etc.

The Division and The Division 2 are cover-to-cover shooters. You have to be inherintly more tactical in your approach to combat, especially in Div 2. If you like games similar to Gears of War then Div 2 might be up your ally.

Funny that you bring up Div 2, because a friend highly recommends me NOT to get that one because it's just bad.

Again. One does not be so specific about games. One can break it down to: Looter Shooter and everyone knows what you want. I played Borderlands, so have I played Destiny 2 Base game.

My original question is if its worth to play Destiny 2 Witch Queen DLC. Not interested in PvP because that was always busted. Only PvE Witch Queen DLC playtime on quests and maybe a >minimum of grinding<. What playtime does one get from that.

The Division 2 is currently on sale though Ubisoft Connect.

$4.50 for the base game, $12 for base game + DLC.

If you're thinking about getting it, add me to your Ubisoft Connect friends list first. Name is SolarSabotage.

The Division 2 has this friend referral thing going on (Link: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/friend-referral ) where if I, someone who's played the game before, invites someone who hasn't, we both get some in-game rewards for playing a few missions together. Only prerequisite is that the new player and the veteran player are on each others friend lists.

Only reason I'm saying all this is because The Division 2 is on an incredibly huge sale right now, and Destiny 2's base game is free, so if you're looking to try them both out now is the time.

The Division 2, was, admittedly, a bit lackluster at launch. It's gotten a whole lot better now since the DLC for it came out, which makes the post-campaign content of the game infinitely better. Not that I'm saying The Division 2 is a game that you'll like, but if you want to try it out, now is the time, as the base game is only five bucks right now. If you like it, I recommend getting the DLC, if you don't like it, don't.

My friends and I play division 2 and this both. It's a great combo with very different feels.

I haven't played Division but afaik its "finished" and you play through it to the end, currently Destiny 2 doesn't have an end as its constantly coming out with new content. As I suggested above, Witch Queen Deluxe will include the newest expansion as well as 4 seasons of content and 2 dungeons that release through out the year of which 1 season and 1 dungeon are out now and the second season has just started. Also as I said its highly subjective if its worth it to you, whether you want to log in for a couple hours each week to only do the weekly stuff on one character or if you want to grind out all you can do you'll almost always have something to do.

I have both Div 1,2 and I played them for over 200h they both get boring so fast and loot system there is just trash and doesn't feel rewarding for doing end game content maybe Division Heartland do a better job because Red Storm is making it not Massive.

[Gubtubus Webble]

Destiny 2. Division gets boring really fast, plus the game is kinda dead.

The Division | Review | Is it worth buying in 2022?

OP, both games couldn't be more different.

I play The Division since many years, consistently, I have every flawless commendation. For me, it's something special, even in 2022. The mapping of Manhattan still looks stunning. The game has a lot to explore and develop. The campaign is solid, the DLCs - like Underground or Survival - are top notch and there's a rotation of public events, which gives you a selection of unique gear. It's development is finished. What I like at most, is, that there is no pressure. You can simply explore the map, play side missions, tasks, or follow the campaign, also asymmetric.

It isn't "dead" at all... at least not on servers of CE. For me, it takes plus minus five minutes to get a team, via matchmake, for a legendary mission.

I also like Destiny (2), but The Division is IMO more forgiving, best on sale, as a full year of Destiny 2, which also can be easily tested with Free-to-play.
