I'm glad this exists because even after dropping 200+ hours in the division, I don't know what's going on, the way they deliver stuff is just so convoluted
I was keeping up until I got to the Black Tusk invasion in the Division 2 yesterday. The game presents it like I should know who these people are and believe that they are retaking every place I had a mission in already.
@@rayfinkle5048 I was in one of the cities with riots and protest. A It was madness. The first nights seemed normal, eventually people walking through the city became common sight. I kept my rifle by my side. Over time, the helicopters got continuous, the sirens more regular, then people hanging out in parks nearby. Then things escalated. Swat teams were riding around on the sides of armored personnel carriers, border patrol and sheriffs showed up, there was even rumors of a spy plane overhead. I watched from my apartment windows as people from the rural areas drove into town, around in trucks with flags harassing people, one even drove through a playground at the park near my building. Eventually one night, I went to downtown with a medkit to see if there was anyone to help in the crowds. There wasn’t a thing I could have done in that madness. Getting home was like evading patrols. Random citizens would get snatched up by police for “resisting” or “breaking curfew”. I would regularly see footage of police marching neighborhoods, shooting tear gas into doors and windows. The pro cop protesters instigated more problems. There were fights and shootouts city wide. The next time I would be outside would be a while. I’d end up telling off the next cop I seen. They betrayed the city, the average citizen. Cops didn’t answer emergency calls anymore. They just arrested and beat people. Eventually the robberies started. My building got hit 3 times. Many others too. People started acting crazier too. Some psycho was screaming and throwing stuff at our building at 3 am. A perfect job for the old BB gun. I don’t know how long that period lasted, but I know I stopped going outside. Between politics and pandemic, everything had stopped. It felt like the dark zone. Sometimes I thinks I’m mentally still there. The empty cold streets, the unease, the quiet. It affected me, even if idk how much yet. Sadly, but luckily, it’s kept me vigilant. I just hope I can relax again
@@sneedmando186 Can you imagine having played Div 1 and then NY quarantines the area you live in. So glad I didnt live in New Rochelle area at that time.
Thank you so much for this video! As a latecomer to the Division series it’s been tough catching up on all of the story established between the first game and the latest seasons of the second; your videos have been invaluable in untangling the game lore. They’re so clean and well-presented, and your delivery of the material is really comprehensive without feeling rambling or padded at all - straightforward and easy to understand to a bemused newcomer like myself. I’m really excited about where the story is going into Year 5, and I feel like I owe a lot of that to your excellent videos! I’ve been really enjoying them, so thank you!
The Division book "Hearts on Fire" actually goes through their whole turn from PMC to occupation force. Its nuts. And it has Katee Sackhoff playing a first-wave Division agent!
As someone who took a HUGE break between D1 and D2, these videos have been a godsend. Catching up on all the lore I missed from earlier manhunts has been incredibly insightful. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.
@@neofulcrum5013 I've read his work and did a summary on one of them for my Senior project. One of the best fictional war story writers I've experienced.
This is why I love The Division franchise, it’s so close to reality yet just far enough away and the world-building and universe behind it is outstanding. There’s so much to it. As well your content is so underrated, even for the Division I don’t know why this doesn’t have way more views. These videos are always such high quality content packed with pertinent information and your voice is extremely pleasant to listen to. Keep up the awesome content!
Amazing video. I just got back into D2 on Xbox series S and was clueless about the storyline especially after WLONY. Had I known this lore was this deep I would have kept on playing since launch of D1. Amazing work and I subscribed.
I was so happy to hear from you again. Your voice, the way you tell it, the passion and the energy and time you put into it. I could listen to you forever and it is so much fun and always captivating! 😱😁 I hope you and your family are doing well and that everyone is healthy. I wish you continued success, make the best of you and I am already very excited about new content 🙏🏼😌✨ Greetings from Germany ✌🏼😏
Many thanks for your continual work knitting together the threads that the Div lays out. It’s brought the story to greater life, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the devs have leaned into the story in these later seasons in part because you’ve demonstrated how much we all appreciate and anticipate it.
I love the lore of this series even in the expanded media universe it's freaking fantastic one of the better Ubisoft franchises even if the gameplay doesn't always live up to the hype the universe is amazing
Dont lose yourself. My esclavo y escalava can only be marketed as agents, part of government(, etc). You dont want to be one wholl remain in el pantano.
I seriously hope we will be able to play through all of the seasons again. I wish I never fell out of The Division 2. It has such rich content and a glorious storyline.
Excellent video. As someone who just recently got back into the Division games since I have a PC now... This is a wonderful refresher of the story. Keep up the great work.
Its not you or your content being censored... Its the media you cover Ubisoft new management are cancelling Divisions and Watchdogs for a reason. To close to reality. They'll flip AC making Abstergo the good guys.
I love your lore content NGN. I haven't played since End of Watch and seem to have missed some good story stuff. Thanks for keeping us lazy agents up to date!
Sometimes I'd joke to my friends about how the spare 22 agents in the B.O.O and DZ checkpoints and safehouses were all being assholes, cowards, lazy, and/or etc lol. I'd like to know what anyone else thinks of this, respectively, itty bitty, teeny tiny little 'plot hole'.
I have seen your videos, as a community, players of the original division one, are at the beginning of a long climb to revive the dark zone, we want to make a push to bring back the old days, and we are asking for YOUR help, as a streamer and a content creator, to help us get the word out. The steam charts show DV1 with a player base of less than 1,000 players. We are spreading the word, across X, Facebook, twitch, IG and whoever else we can. A couple buddies and I were discussing the nostalgia that came from the late nights in the Dark zone on DV1, the snow falling, the manhunts, we started to discuss how the CoD community was able to resurrect Modern warfare a few months ago, the server counter hit 100k players if I saw correctly, I think, if we can spread the word around as much as we can, I wholeheartedly believe the community can come together and get the dark zone back up with a healthy player base. 🤙🏼 Think of all the good times ladies and gents, there won’t be another moment like the first time your agent hopped that fence into DZ1, that first scuttle with a rouge agent, that first exotic extraction 😈🗣️ LONG LIVE THE DARKZONE.
Man so does ANYBODY actually work *for* the Division? Cuz so far it seems like literally everybody BUT you is just a "Rogue Agent". At this point it's kinda starting to feel like you're the actual rogue agent and everybody else just went "Lol fuck the government" Seriously, every time you accomplish ANYTHING, the game just goes "But wait what about THIS rogue agent?! And now YOUR LEADERS ARE ROGUE!" What's the point of making an organization if 99% of it just gets up and immediately decides to shoot you in the foot the second you give them the gun?
Black Tusk and True Sons are moving on DC. Saddle up Agents, we're going to war! (Seriously tho: Love the video's NGN, you're my fave Division channel. REALLY respect your refusal to work with RU-vids rules too! Extremis Remedia, Brother!)
excellent work ♥ The Division is by FAR my favourite game series with more than 2000 hours playtime on Xbox & PC. The atmosphere, the lore and the time me and my friends had is just amazing. looking forward to the Division games that will come!
I was a open, closed and Alpha Beta tester and loved the game. Then the DEVS made the disastrous decision to just make every sector harder by turning up the TTK and the game became a toxic, steal from other players only kiddie swear fest. It was 10x's worse than COD without the cheat codes. The reality in our world is that "evil" tells us what they are planning and then we the people have to live it. It is called preprogramming and exists in all aspects of society. Video games is just one vehicle for them to prepare you to accept their madness. What a shame.
Can’t wait for the next Division installment, not only one of the greatest and most in depth stories I’ve played, but great gameplay and arguably some of the best open worlds in gaming history
@@雪底下 I wouldn’t hope for it, they been saying the same shit as per usual and then let the game they actually have out die like crazy, even if they do release it it’ll be another flop
Bom dia.... vamos lá....os primeiros anos foi um sucesso.... talentos na joelheira,no coldre, chip da dano de abilidades.... tudo ótimo.....aí alguém na sua magnânima sabedoria resolve tirar tudo isso e colocar coisas que ninguém da comunidade gostou....depois foi só ladeira abaixo....QUEM USA CHIP CONTRA CEGUEIRA?...bem...está última atualização foi pra acabar com o jogo... tanto e que caiu muito a quantidade de pessoas jogando.... falta de respeito com a comunidade.... valor do passe de temporada absurdo....e até agora a Ubisoft não se manifestou sobre a lástima da última atualização... vocês estão conseguindo acabar com o jogo
Great video! I’ve loved The Division since the beta of TD1! I hope someday we get to return to the more survival horror feel at times of TD1. Looking forward to Heartland and Resurgence!
I love all the new season content but man I want them to make hardcore agents have their own exclusive content and also for the 3rd installment to come out already
Gotta love how the government treated the first wave here. "you guys are the last line of defense. we need you to help reinforce the JTF." "also by. Good luck tho lol." yea that's not gonna come back to bite you at all.
This game would've been a hit if it wasn't so focused on the online element and having to work with random people of varying experience (typically first time players) which caused a lot of headaches.
Extraordinary effort! For someone who missed 9 seasons in a row, this is a fantastic story bridger! Kudos, keep up the good work and keep more coming!! One question: Now that season 10 ends in 4-5 days and a new season begins shortly after, what if I want to play the old/previous season manhunts for the sake of story? Is that possible?
I love the lore of these games so much. I've been following your channel since at least the beginning of the Division 2 releasing. Keep up the great work, NGN.
I recently, was lucky enough to get one of my best friends into this game and he was asking questions on the story of both games and who the different factions are etc. Right so unfortunately I don't remember alllll the story so this was the perfect vid to send him. Thanks!
NYC>DC Maybe it's just nostalgia but I recently reloaded Div2 and, while it's fun, I remember having alot MORE fun with Div1... AFTER they got rid of all the trolls during launch. I uninstalled Div1 and never gave it a 2nd thought for over a year, reinstalled it on a whim and had a fkn blast. Div2 just seems to be missing something, not sure what but it's just not striking the same chords with me.
So what I'm taking away from this is that every organization and government department that were at any given time suppose to work with each other literally all betrayed each other including themselves, then also betrayed their betrayed selves but also that was a secret deep cover to catch the people who would betray the betrayers and on top of that this was a deeper deep cover to catch the original betrayers but also the deepest deeper deep cover to catch future betrayers for the "greater good" xD
You'd think the JTF would finally get the entire military involved with this level of domestic terrorism yet still rely on weekend warriors that aren't even fully kitted in the second game. Where the heck even are any of the other branches during this?
I think the Dollar Flu and breakdown of the chain of command means that the military is either part of the JTF, have deserted, died, or joined one of the other factions.
The way the devs deliver this story is such a mess that I had no idea about a ton of this. I advocated that there should be a main campaign that you play through in order and that is up to the endgame. That way people actually feel like they are part of what's going on. I had no idea that Emiline was actual a hero.
I love this, great content here! I've missed basically all of the manhunts. I've recently discovered after picking the game back up, that you cannot play the manhunts on demand. Which is just terrible for new and returning players. I noticed here that manhunts 5-8 are missing. Is that on purpose? I'm stopping after 4 because I don't want to be spoiled on what happens by skipping straight to 9. Let me know if 5-8 were insignificant or something 😅😅
Man I always go back to this awesome video. Good for newcomers. You gotta do one before the Brooklyn dlc next year. Alot has happened in this story since this video. Great video @ngn 🙌
As i hear it more and more its sound unrealistic , joke etc, compared to breakpoint... I would like to see winter , survival back but as solo player experience in tarkov hardcore style, with deep dark plot..
if the video is 10hrs or more we will watch it, ive sat through 6hr halo videos which essential was a movie of all the halo games which was as epic as what you do.
I'm annoyed that I got a bit of burnout during season 10 after what happened in season 9. I've always been intrigued by the Hunters. I want more lore on them but at the same time I don't because that would ruin the mystery behind them
Great video, thanks. Really is sad how they took a game with flaws that only needed a few tweaks, and completely broke it. D1 was a bloody good game. D2 should have been the easiest of wins.
i havent touched the games in serveral months now, cause ubi kept fucking around, not fixing the game, but i still enjoy your videos and the lore you provide to us!
