He’s really ramping up the pressure because as I understand it part of the patch yesterday was making the free trial even bigger and better to new players Just keep playing Destiny 2. You know it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new update gives you the entire base game and first expansion now so it's essentially a free-to-play game. I’ve no idea, you may well be right. @Kookoocachu is clearly far more knowledgeable about the game than I am so might be able to answer this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free trial has now changed to I believe a level 60 cap and includes Heavensward the first expansion. This doesn't include things however like being able to trade in game and some other things. It's well worth the subscription fee, I would happily pay three times as much.

I’ve given up on that now! It was becoming more like a second job rather than a hobby. I’m also a pve player and it sounded like they were focusing on PvP with trials and that so I knocked it on the head. You still playing? I may check out the next expansion one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Phantasy Star Online 2 has been out on Xbox for a bit. One of the more fun F2P model MMO's I've played. Maybe a little too generous though since I hit level 45 after only one day and little has really felt like a challenge so far, only died once since starting. Or maybe I'm just really fucking awesome. Yeah I'm sure that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Question for those that have played through and finished Ghost of Tsushima. Are all the missions 'go here and fight people'? I'm enjoying it so far (albeit not very far in), but that's all the missions have been. I can see me getting bored quite quickly with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll bash through them in no time at all compared to ticking every box and the story and game picks up a fair bit from Act 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say mythic side quests, do you mean the fox dens and stuff like that, or the side quests you get from talking to people in camps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find the story teller at a camp usually and he’ll tell you the story then you investigate it but they have a neat little intro and you usually end on a duel and will get armour or a new special attack from them. I wish they had half the pointless side quests and made a few more quests like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already done one of those and just about to start another. Cheers for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The Tony Hawk 1+2 demo is so perfect. You need to pre-order the game to get it, but I feel like I'm going to be playing two minute Warehouse sessions until it comes out. Exactly what you want has come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 That initial download is a slog isn't it? I've got 30gig to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 They should have allowed a proper pre-load but the size makes sense. I'm re-watching MGS4, forgot how horny Kojima could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Even after taking @Mr_Danger's advice and just focusing on the Mythic stories and main quests, I'm still finding Ghost of Tsushima a slog. Every journey in between locations you encounter fight after fight. The game looks great and I like the variety they've put in to the upgrade system. And although the fights themselves are nice to play, repeatedly doing the same thing throughout each mission, and in between missions, is just tedious. Mutton dressed as lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
