@Muttt The warbonds (battlepasses) contain modified weapons, but they are certainly not required to play and enjoy the game. This is not play/grind to win. Each warbond, including the large free one, have credits which go part way to purchasing another warbond. I play for a couple of hours every 1-2 days and I am 3/4 of the way to purchasing the next warbond, having spent my credits on the last one. Remember, the warbonds are permanent, so you never have to worry about FOMO. I hope to see you on the battlefield, cadet!
@RIGGOR_MORTIS Pedantic semantics. Free/at no extra cost. Those that pay for PS+ know that they are paying. Your point is valid, but referring to the games as 'free' does little to detract from what has become an increasingly lackluster subscription service, as you rightly say.
@TraCuz- I'm on Light - Shiva. The story itself is good in ARR, but the delivery/pace could be better. A LOT of back and forth for trivial tasks. I shall persevere!
@TraCuz- I'm a FFXIV sprout! Started a week ago, levelling as a White Mage. The base story is 95% filler and fetch quests, but I know the good stuff is to come...
@TheArt I've also recently got back into MHWorld including Iceborne. PM me or add my PSN if you ever want to casual hunt. I main Gunlance. I rarely use a mic though, because kids... - Warspite2901
@Grindagger I'd argue it's the time taken to download the update that is more infuriating than its size. PS4 has notoriously slow download speeds for many, despite having superfast fibre speeds as I do.
Gaming time is limited for some people with commitments and therefore frustrating when you have a massive patch downloading over the next 2 hours.
The black and white filter is cool, but the HDR potential is massive. The colour palettes at times are simply stunning. Japanese audio is a must though.

On topic; these trophies add quirky fun to a series with an often gruelling trophy list.

@Gloamin I know! You'd think being an anti-social introvert was a factor, but I simply haven't the time 😅
Re: Soapbox: Vermintide 2 Might Be My Game of the Year (But It Released in 2018)
@XFinest_KnightX I rarely find time to play uninterrupted anymore, hence no friends to schedule co-op play. Do drop me a request though 👍

@Gloamin Can the drop-ins be randoms? I haven't any friends 🙃
