It sounds like a good time, I just can't see myself spending 15 bucks on it.
i've seen a live of it, and HOLY shit it look really good. Exactly what i expected of the game. if the game released with THIS, for FREE, it would have been even more popular than it is. Or if the game released with some of its elements, like random blizzard with barrel in fire to warm you, or food/drink system.
The new update is good and all, but it's short. It only lasts an hour at most and it adds nothing new storywise. But hey, we get new shit like gear and guns.
Shame I can't afford to buy the full game then buy survival just to play the survival mode.
Pretty damn good DLC idea, really. AFAIK this is the only AAA survival game out there, and one of only several that aren't in some form of early access. Seems like a pretty good value for $15, and I'm sure it's pushing a ton of "should I buy The Division on sale" people over the edge.

I prefer having survival as a sort of minigame more than the actual game. That being said, it's actually pretty fun. It's a nice alternative to the other methods of getting gear because you get a lot of loot even if you fail (assuming you actually achieve a few things and not just straight up die at the start). My only complaint would probably be how bullshit the hunter spawning is when another group just happens to be around your extraction site of choice. That's just a personal thing though. I've had too many people try to kill me/my group while extracting and end up getting everyone wiped by the shit ton of hunters. :v: (for context: Once you pop a flare at an extraction site, 1 hunter spawns for every nearby player, and they move and fight a lot like real players. They pretty much OHKO you at melee range too.)
