There’s a 10 hour trial with every new game, but within some of them they’ll insert an artificial wall on story progression - for example I think the Madden 18 Longshot story mode is blocked about 90 minutes in, and so was the Battlefront II story after 3 or 4 missions, which I guess makes sense since neither was…

Nailed it.

It wasn’t so much “strange” as it was just shitty PR spin on a business decision to avoid diluting the customer base for PS Now, which was launching around the same time.

Nice. Now after five years of being propped up by another console’s players and expanding the library fourfold does it finally “bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect”.

I agree, it should definitely have been animated. But some Hollywood dipshit said decided it was going to be live action-CGI, so it’s live action-CGI.

Sorry, where I said “emptiness” I meant “indifference”.

I didn’t say I think it’s going to be good.

I’m only unhappy with the situation because I watched the trailer expecting this to be THE. WORST. FUCKING. TRAILER. EVRRRRRRRRR!!! based on the coverage and comments here on Kotaku.

I finally watched the trailer yesterday, and besides the design of the character - which of course is not a small factor by any stretch - I really didn’t think it looked that bad.

The only two zombie apocalypse games I’ve really played and gotten into are The Last of Us and State of Decay 2, and this review makes Days Gone sound almost like a basic cable mash-up of both.

They’ll find a way to hit you up for a few koins for the downloadable kontent.

Or, as a judgmental non-gamer would say, found the opportunity to...

By far the most unrealistic part of the world of The Division 2 is the sheer amount of gas cans lying around.

I wish the photo mode was its own ecosystem like in AC Odyssey, where you could snap a pic just with the A button instead of having to use the console’s screenshot utility - the Division 2 can’t be paused, so why make it harder to set up and take a good shot it that game than in one that can?

Bookmarking this for five or six years from now, as that’s when the baby I just found out is coming will (hopefully) be old enough to understand why he or she is Filipina tan like mommy and not Irish pale like daddy 🙂

The Division 2 until I get annoyed with my gear situation and switch to Far Cry New Dawn and then back to The Division 2 after I get annoyed with my not wanting to play any story content situation in Far Cry New Dawn and then...

You could’ve just replaced every instance of the words “Sony”, “Playstation”, “PSN” with “Microsoft”, “Xbox”, and “Xbox Live” and this article would still be accurate, given that I played The Division 2 this morning with LoquaciousAntler779.

It’s now standard usage across the Kinjaverse. Last year I on a Splinter article I said something to the effect of “So Latinx is not a typo, huh” and... well you can guess how it went from there.

Yeah, I guess, but jeez this would be such a stupid thing to sue over. A whole raid or strike? Okay, that would actually be a big deal.
