It was both good and bad. I'm definitely buying the game, but I do not really feel very hyped about it and am 90% expecting to stop playing within a month or two.
Mostly honestly because Destiny has shown me that I just don't want to spend hours grinding for gear anymore in games, just doing the same thing week after week. In many ways if I had never played Destiny I would have probably been way more into Division, but after Destiny I feel like Neo and I can "see through" the artifice.
I felt the same way about MMOs after world of warcraft, and have never really gotten into any later MMOs the same way I got into Wow -ff14, elder scrolls, B&S, etc.
My most disappointing things about Division is how wonky the controls felt, how meh I am about gun play, how I much prefer a faster paced run and gun game like call of duty or destiny to the slower Ubisoft-style Division movement - it really just feels like Far Cry or Assassins Creed in another skin - and the lack of things to interact with in a giant world. Goddamn it, I want to spend hours trudging up and down skyscrapers in Manhattan, Die Hard style
The things I really did like was the entire twist of the way the Dark Zone worked, wandering around the parts of the city that were open and felt fun to check out, the entire exhilaration of extraction and seeing someone run up, coming across all the random stuff like echos or phone notes (too bad we can't read them in beta), and the fun of playing costume barbie with all the skins drops.
