To Skip or Not to Skip: The Warlords of New York Dilemma
So, you're staring at that shiny new expansion, Warlords of New York, and you're wondering if you should dive right in or savor the sweet, sweet taste of the base game first. Let's break this down, shall we?
The Allure of the Big Apple
New York City. The concrete jungle where dreams are made (or shattered, depending on your luck with RNG). Warlords of New York promises a grittier, more intense experience. You'll face off against some of the original Division agents gone rogue, and let's be honest, who doesn't love a good redemption story (or in this case, a redemption bloodbath)?
But, there's a catch. Jumping straight into the Big Apple means bypassing the juicy bits of the base game. You'll miss out on the thrill of discovering Washington D.C. for the first time, the satisfaction of leveling up your agent, and the sheer joy of unlocking that first exotic weapon. It's like skipping the appetizer and going straight for dessert. Sure, dessert is great, but you're missing out on the whole culinary experience.
The Base Game: A Solid Foundation
If you're a completionist or someone who enjoys soaking up every last drop of a game, then the base game is a must. You'll get to know your agent, experiment with different builds, and unlock a ton of cool gear. Plus, it's a great way to prepare for the challenges that await you in New York. Think of it as building muscle before hitting the gym.
However, if you're impatient and just want to get to the good stuff, then by all means, skip ahead. You'll be thrown into the deep end, but hey, that's where the real fun begins, right? Just remember, you might be missing out on some important context and character development.
The Verdict: It's Up to You!
Ultimately, the decision to skip to Warlords of New York is a personal one. There's no right or wrong answer. If you're short on time or just can't resist the allure of the Big Apple, go for it! But if you have the patience and want to fully immerse yourself in the Division universe, take your time and enjoy the base game.
Remember: There's no rush. The game isn't going anywhere. So relax, grab a coffee (or your favorite in-game drink), and enjoy the ride.
