The Division Ad Skewers Destiny, But There Is a Problem - Report

The words were said, doesn't matter how they're used, it is the truth none the less.

But in my view they are true quotes so who cares!! Roll on Tuesday :D

This is something that Publishers and movie studios have been doing for years and all of a sudden it's a big deal. Gamespot must be struggling to find something to write about. I mean do people actually use these quotes to decide if they are gonna buy a game or not?

Wow, the same company as Watch Dogs. The game with awful driving controls, suspect shooting mechanics, tedious missions and stupid stealth gameplay. That's some company to possibly be in.

lol, shots fired

Destiny certainly deserves a swipe or two, but... I mean really? Ubisoft is one of the last companies that should be criticizing other people's games.

Ah this is what some people were discussing on Twitter the other day.

Man everything surrounding this game is suspect and I really wanted this game to be something special but I fear it's going to be another huge let down. I mean I got bored walking around the same destroyed New York fighting the same enemies in the Beta..

Destiny feels like a generic shooter to me, much like the Halo series. Could never get into Destiny's poor attempt at a story.

I'm gonna feel sorry for all the thousands of people who pre ordered the digital game.only to find out its a souped up version of watchdogs.granted I do think this is the game bored destiny players are waiting and if ubisoft don't listen to the players they will fall like bungie.when you completely have to find a 6 player team to advanced more in any game people will get bored trying to find people and quit playing the game.just look at destiny.I have seen so many people who's been playing since the last update and they still can't get over 300 level.shame on you bungie

They're actually harder to compare than you'd think anyway. Destiny is more shooter oriented, The Division is more RPG oriented.

Hahaha, well, that's marketing people for ya.

I remember when UBISOFT said stuff like this, it was when Watchdogs came out...... Or that new game Far Cry 4 Primal wait they sold that as a stand alone for 60 bucks, you guys keep falling for this stuff. Have fun.

I'm probably one of the few people that thoroughly enjoys the fact that Ubisoft's marketing team took a shot at Destiny... even if the headline is misleading. I don't ever recall another game company doing this.

Then Activision for payback can post on their ads "The Division blows Destiny".

All The Division has to do to rival Destiny is to offer more meaningful and less tedious content. It won't beat Destiny in raw gunplay, but The Division didn't play any worse than Mass Effect (people who say ME's cover mechanics were better are bonkers), so all it needs is a good amount of quantity to be competitive.

lol that is kinda funny but hell, movie trailer take quotes out of context all the time, "best movie of our lifetime "...time magazine" as do a ton of other types of ads. its been going on for decades now...i dont see this as anything new

Ha ha ha, All games are better than Destiny, how is this a bold claim.

You'd have to be very naive if claims like those actually influence your likelihood to purchase a product or service.

@zero_juice: yeah, come back in 2 weeks time when everyone is ranting about how shallow/broken/incomplete Division is. same shit different package.

Is this really news? They do this for everything even books do this. They take one raving positive quote and post it on there.

Too bad the game actually sucks.

Could've been something great; instead it's a watered down cover based third person shooter with lite RPG mechanics.

It also looks far worse than it did 3 years ago; because Ubisoft likes to do that to their games now.

Nothing beats Tom Hardy, Legend for cheekiest misrepresentation.

See that Guardian review in the middle, that's a 2 star rating made to imply a 4. :D

I don't see this as a big deal yea it's a rather big claim but obviously just because one person feels that way doesn't mean you will. If someone were too buy the Division solely because of a quote that said it was better then Destiny it would be there ownfault if they ended up not liking it.
