The Division 2 - Before You Buy 

This is why I love you Jake, no clickbait, no bullshit just straight to the point and honest pros and cons about the game. We need more reviews like yours.

Other youtubers at the 8 minutes mark: AND IN TODAYS VIDEO WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT... Jake Baldino 1 minute in: Sorry for the long winded intro...

I always watch this after I buy games lol

Who's here because it is $3 right now

Only Gameranx will you bring you a single honest review, not 2-5 videos called "A review in progress" and "Is the division 2 doing good?"..... we love quality content

Another settlement needs our help. Ill mark it on your map.

F for every person that bought the division 2 before the 95% sale

As someone who’s lived in the city, I am absolutely amazed on how perfect the world was crafted. It is literally a 1:1 recreation of DC. It’s almost eerie walking around streets you know so well as an apocalypse

Honestly, my favorite looter shooter since borderlands 2

I miss the snow.. The atmosphere of the first was one of the best experiences in gaming. The cold snow and Christmas stuff made some great memories for me

Kinda miss the poor visibility from the snow in div 1

I’m here because it’s 3$ on the PS store right now and I’m still trying to decide if I wanna spend the money or not.... lol

There's one moment in this game that I can't forget. I was fighting a group of bandits while heavy rain fall. I noticed the spotlight was highlighting the rain making this ominous glow. I was doing good in solo killing the bandits. And while I was killing them one by one, one shouted his fallen comrades name and telling others that he's down. And the other was shout "I can't see shit!". I assume because it was nigh and it was raining. At that moment, it just felt so organic and I felt so immersed by it.

I always wait for his review if I want to buy a game

You guys are great, anytime I’m torn between getting a game or saving money, your before you buy videos are usually the deciding factor. Keep up the great work this stuff is awesome!

This is, excuse me, a damn fine video game.

I watch byb knowing i'm getting an honest early impression of a game. Instead of it being one of the many pointless videos made only to take advantage of the newest thing solely for views.

I don't know if this has been said a lot but gameranx guys,keep up with the good work you always deliver the best reviews and we're really gratefull for that !

Where EA Failed, Ubisoft picked up the slack.

It literally costs 3$ on the ps4 store now

This game is a good sequel. A must buy if you love looter shooters. Game feels like a $60 package at launch, lots to see and do. Best part is the free expansions to keep the community together.

1. Buy the game 2. Install game 3. Internet is down 4. 45gb patch 5. Stare into the abyss

Still need convincing and it’s only $3😂

I definitely gotta pick this up. Div1 had its issues but most of them were fixed over multiple updates. I played the Div2 beta and even tho I only put a couple hours into, I loved how it put you out in the action right away, and it seems like enemies are more strategic and less spongy than before, which was a major gripe I had with Div1. I’m so glad it’s a huge success so far, so I gotta get this ASAP.

3:33 “Less of a kuchung kuchung on your steps” haha love it

Any negative point on this game can be disputed with 4 words _M32 Rotary Grenade Launcher_

Whenever I think about getting games like this one, I literally ALWAYS watch ur videos! Ur the best man keep it up

Walks in White House -Preston Garvey appears Me - Oh shi... *ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS OUR HELP*

“There’s a mission to steal the Declaration of Independence” literally just convinced me to buy the whole game

As a die hard fan, I’m happy that the division is finally getting the attention it deserves. Great game

I really enjoyed the “cachunkachunk” LMAOO 😂

On point, the ''Before you buy'' is awesome and I'm glad that you guys came up with the idea, how it serve to give us what we need to make a decision on whether or not to buy games. @gameranx is amazing as a group of content creators. I think I can say that all of us that follows this group of amazing people love their work (duh) and the time they put into it ^^ Thank you gameranx!

Me:Oh i'ma get the Division 2! My wallet:Ha ha! you funny man! xD

I already bought it, and it's a helluva lot better than anthem

Man, this is the first time I've watched one of these videos and idk why. I have to say, this is a really solid review. Now I know where to go before future game purchases.

I always watch your videos before I buy games

Some might not care, but speaking as a DC native, from what I’ve seen the re-creation of the city is spot on.

I agree with crouching! Can we please get that function 🙏🏽

5:54 made me die from laughing so hard.

You guys' before you buy series is SOOOOOOOO GOOD. i dont buy most games before i watch the before you by video on it. keep up the good work.

OMG YES been waiting for a review from a trusted youtuber 😁

I'm new to the division franchise and I like it A LOT! I'm really enjoying it at the moment!

I got The Division 2 for PS4 on the release day (didn't pre-order) and spent almost the whole weekend playing it with a friend of mine. I'm really enjoying this game! I will say however that I think I liked the New York setting a little more as well. One thing that I've found frustrating is that there seem to be some bugs with the skills system (drone, hive, etc.) which can significant affect gameplay. I hope they fix this soon.

Well said mr Jake I love this game pretty good one it seems to have a lot of content to do more then anthem I think 😁

120 hours into Div1, loved it but got bored at the end Playing Div2, you are reminded a lot of the first, but enough changes have been made and new things introduced that it does feel like a proper sequel.

Its fun. You nailed it when you talked about playing it solo. Feel the same way.

Coming from someone from Washington DC (Well, just outside of Arlington), I can attest that it looks amazing. I’m surprised I haven’t picked it up since I know the area so well. It seems great so far.

I bought this game then searched the reviews on youtube. Such logic.

I bought it on release day but only have a couple hours played. This game is one of the most complete at launch titles I can remember in years. I love it. It gives me enough leeway to feel like a bad operative while throwing enough enemies at me to keep anxious about each engagement. And the loot... glorious plethoras of loot. I’m usually not into the looter/shooter thing but they are definitely trying to keep us hooked. Thanks buddy.

You know I pre-ordered game I think it's amazing but I still watch before you buy even if I bought the game keep up the great work Jake and if I ever see you pizzas on you

Who’s Tom Clancy and why is he dividing 2?

I started playing on Friday, it's now Sunday and I'm level 16, after playing for about twenty hours, probably more. I love it.

I hate that we need to breathe a sigh of relief that the game launched with a basic level of functionality

I love the Division games. Bought both and and bought Div2 twice [PC&Xbox]. As much as I don't have any issues with the game, I totally agree with you on the whole manual crouch. It would make things a bit better and if a wee lean mechanic was added, sharing cover would be made a lot easier.

I was waiting for this video. Thx.

Never played the first Division. But after hearing the fairly good reception this game is getting 2 days after launch, i bought the game. I think this game may finally be the one to scratch that looter shooter itch i've had for so long.

Glad I skipped on ANTHEM to wait for this one.

I am enjoying every minute of it while you explain about the division and 1 I very much love the division 2 too

“Less of a.. KAHCHUNK KAHCHUNK in your steps” 😂😂😂

1600 hours in the first Division, so I was a bit tired of the game. But this sequel is waaaay better than I expected. The devs learned from their mistakes from the first one, they listened to their players and really made a mindboggling experience. The amount of content at launch is incredible. Graphics are insane. Gunplay feels great. And yes, it plays great as a solo game. Currently lvl 26 after 27 hours, taking my time to explore everything. And LOOT LOOT LOOT! Great video on an even greater game.

Not gonna lie... I watch alot of these after I already bought the game. :P

I just started playing it again yesterday and greatly enjoyed it. Got the latest expansion and pretty fun.

I appreciate this game verses the first one. The first one I felt I HAD to play with other players and I’m a loner when it comes to playing video games. The second one gives the option to do the story mode and side missions by yourself, I love that about D2

Wassup Jake love the video these awesome videos comming

Soo do we get to see who the president is?

I’ve been waiting for this, for awhile now I’ve waited for your BYB videos before I buy a game.

The mission areas/maps are super good. Highly detailed and interesting. The enemies give super fun fights. They have skills, rush you, flank, lay prone, res each other... Super fun 👍👌

Such an improvement. They listened. Thank you Ubisoft. Will definitely get this in a bit.

Planning to play this with my brother and coming from The Division 1! Thanks for this review, Jake!

Really solid analysis on D2. I bought it and I’m lovin’ it. Nice work 👍🏻

Who's watching after they bought it?

Some are dumb... other flanks you while their friends lay covering fire... Also keep looting suitcases for Vanity items :D getting a ton from those:) And orange crates for colours :)

You have helped me with my buying decision to purchase The Division 2. And you're the very 1st reviewer of anything on RU-vid I've commented upon. Such was your positive impact! Thankyou sir.

Bought this sunday. Ive been busy with school and work. Hopefully I get a chance to play the next couple days. So far, really good.

Honestly for me this is one of my favorite looter shooter game for now. My favorite mission by far is stealing the Declaration of Independents. The second mission was saving the president from the True Son's and also showing how much of a bad ass president he is. The next thing is what I don't like is bullet sponge and that's one thing that's been around for age's and trust me I've played TCTD1 and ooh boy it's was very easy to kill an enemy that's on your level or lower. When I got to high enough gear to play legendary mode in TCTD1 I was like "dam you need to strategize a lot. I've gotten to play the end game in the open beta not the in the full release but it was amazing and I loved it! That's also one of the reason's why I've bought TCTD2 honestly. That's not the only reason why I bought it. I bought it because not also about the end game its self but the amount of time that was put to make this game like the people at Ubisoft is amazing. I've felt if like was there in DC and the amount of work in the sound, graphics, and people who've helped out in the game is amazing. Like man get me in this like holy cow dude but yeah. Anyways I know some you guys are not gonna read this all the way through but this is my honest opinion of the game so yeah and I hope you guys have a nice and wonderful day. Best regards.

Ty for the review... Honestly, my favorite looter shooter so far...

i really enjoy watching the before you buys from this dude , he does them so well even if im not buying the game . he has saved me a butt load of money

1:28 Good shootin', Tex!

loving this game. never played D1 and man do i wish i would have. so fire highly recommended

Any word on a survival mode for this?

Great vid. Running through this game now and loving it. Ubi stepped it up with this.

Great vid I always watch before I buy any game haha

Good review. Cant wait to see the sekiro review even though im already getting it 😂

I'm just gonna be playing with friends. I find games more enjoying when playing with people you know online or in person. anybody else agree? If not it's all good

Can you switch to first person (aiming down sights) while shooting?

I enjoyed the video I bought the game first without wacthing but this video made me more confident in my purchase thank you

I didn’t like the Division 1 at all, but the Division 2 is a massive upgrade and it’s amazing. I’m having a ton of fun right now and I’m really impressed with almost everything in this game. I really love how the AI don’t just run around mindlessly, I love that it’s a little more challenging (especially in the DZ) to take them out and then you obtain the juicy rewards. I’m a solo player so I really love that, I’m really having a blast and I’m glad I copped this. (I got this before watching this I just came here to say I like it lol)

This game is wonderful I luckily got this game for free because it came with my graphics card for my PC and it is an AWESOME game. The graphics are really good, the gameplay is great and it is an awesome game in general I just wish that the bots/enemies are just less stupid, like Jake Baldino said, but I still highly recommend this game to people that just like shooting bad guys.

LGR, OutsideXbox and Gameranx are my three personal favourite channels on youtube. I love the before you buy videos.

And here I am again watching one of these “before you buy” videos AFTER I bought the game. The Ubisoft sale on ps store is great 😎

This looks surprisingly decent in my opinion

Buying it now. Thanks for convincing me 👍😁😁😁

I always found the no crouching/laying down thing weird especially since the controls and view share so much in common with Ghost Recon Wildlands. Part of me thinks its PVP balancing thing.

I been sleeping on this game, gonna have to pick this up

3 $ crew here, just checking in. The same as everyone else I see.🤣🤣🤣

it was on a sale it was 30 euro's and now its 10 euro's so i thought i would buy it turns out its my favorite game now

Thaaaank you for this series. Everyone else over complicates things

Great video and yes, because of it...I have decided to get TD2! Thanks guys...signed brand new subscriber Chris.

This game appeals to me now more so than ever because of current situations

I loved the first division and wanted to make sure if this one was worth my money
