Fallout: New Vegas vs Tom Clancy's The Division
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
Tom Clancy's The Division
Tom Clancy's The Division is an excitingly new franchise developed from the Tom Clancy name. Unlike the Ghost Recon series, this game features you as a special operative that has been deployed to a devastated New York City after a pandemic swept across the city and many others during Black Friday. As expected of any post-apocalyptic event, the less civic-minded people have emerged, such as the Rikers and the Cleaners, and they intend to take control of New York by instilling terror on any survivors they met (or sometimes actively sniff out). It is these poor survivors you'll be standing up for and protecting as you carry out your mission to hopefully clear out the enemies and bring some form of security back into the city.Featuring a tactical cover-based gameplay that Ghost Recon is famous for, The Division provides a game environment where the time of day or the weather can be used to your advantage when planning an assault. There is also the Dark Zone in the middle of Manhattan where you can work cooperatively with a team of players to scavenge for valuable loot left behind by the evacuated military or turn bandit and attack other players to steal their hard-earned loot. It's completely your choice! Being part of a triple-A franchise, the game is also expectedly excellent in terms of graphics and effects.
Tom Clancy's The Division is the MMO that many fans have been clamoring for. With tons of customization options, most of which are cosmetic in nature, for your character and a wide variety of weaponry, there are plenty of content to keep you engaged in this game, making its cost very much worth it especially if you'll be playing the game with friends.
