Comparisons can be made between the two, but The Division is very much its own game.
While neither of these games are true MMORPGs, they capture a similar feeling. Labeled by the gaming community as a Destiny– killer, the game does follow a lot of the same archetypes as its counterpart a “shared-world”, RPG elements, and loot-based combat.
I have spent the past weekend playing The Division beta, which proved to hold a decent amount of content.
