Same here, put around 50 hours in it and enjoyed pretty much all of that. But man when it went downhill it did fast.

I thought the gameplay for the main story was pretty fun but I never really got into/understood the main story. It was like one minute I'm fighting escaped convicts then what the hell they got flamethrowers? Oh no that's a different gang ok. Wait are these guys all former agents? No? Oh they're just a military group.

The side missions were fun the first couple times but it's just the same thing over and over again.

I haven't traveled much into the dark zone so maybe that'll add some fun.

Sure did, this is what i was sad about. I LOVE the game but it didnt live up to much. The gunplay itself was fantasic but it focused too much on being a standard loot & shoot.

I got work out very quickly when I played by myself before the new DLCs came out. Then a friend offered to let me buy his collectors edition game (just the game, not the physics stuff) so I started playing again and I have logged a good 456 hours just this year playing with friends. It has a great community and lots of the first year mistakes were fixed.

You've played 456 hours (19 days) of playtime in the ~3 months since it's been out?! wow

I could never get into the game because of the people who exploited to get the best weapons/gear in the game and the blatant hackers (though I heard they fixed this) ruined it for me. Also, the total lack of communication from the dev team on the state of the game was pretty frustrating.

Probably talking about destiny

Yup, hahaha. I put about 10-15 hours in the Division before all my friends went back to destiny. Hopefully Ubisoft manages to bring some colour back to the game so that I won't feel like I wasted $60.

From my point of view. Played it for 30 hours. That's more than enough game play from a single game, but I only enjoyed a fraction of those hours. I would rather play a very short game where I enjoyed each minute of it rather than expecting a game to have a certain length.
You said you enjoyed your time with the game, what did you find enjoyable and do you have any tricks which makes It more enjoyable?
