Live service games are often a topic of discussion, good and bad.
That latter point is particularly pleasing to the people making these games.
Of course, there’s stuff to buy with real money, but you don’t have to.
Money makes it all happen, after all.
It made me think about my own favorite live service game,The Division 2.
It’s pretty simple to understand.
Of course, there’s stuff to buy with real money, but you don’t have to.
But that’s it.
Not least because there are regular periods of double XP to help you through it quicker.
I think the most recent season pass took me five days to complete all 100 tiers.
The best of the new items, including new exotics, are always available through the free track of the season pass.
But the beauty is that the season pass is completely free.
All the new gear is added to this free track, so everyone benefits without needing to pay.
There is a premium track, but all that offers is more stuff.
Events are frequent, but also don’t require surrendering your life to be able to complete.
Other than this, the stuff to buy is all cosmetics.
There’s not too much to have FOMO about when playing The Division 2.
But I’m confident that it’s going to be epic.
It took me less than two hours to complete five of the six challenges in the most recent league, and I can wait until next week to finish it off if I want.
If you’ve never tried it, I can’t recommend it enough.
Long may The Division 2 continue.
