The Last of Us Part 2 finally has a release date. The new trailer showed Ellie with a group of survivors and losing a loved one. This drives Ellie in a quest for revenge against an organized group.
Clickers, humans, and dogs are the enemy in the game. But most importantly, Joel is showcased in the trailer. Many fans speculated whether the character died in between games due to lack of the character’s appearance in trailers.
Do you have blood to donate and attending TwitchCon? Well you can receive a free copy of Code Vein if you happen to donate blood! Bandai Namco is hosting a blood drive in San Diego with the Red Cross on September 27th. If you donate, you will receive a copy of Code Vein and a “promo blood kit.”
The Blood Drive will take place on September 27th. It’s set to last several hours, starting at 10 am PT and ending later that evening at 4 pm PT. You have to register at the Red Cross website.
Not only does it fit the theme of blood and vampires of Code Vein, it also goes to a good cause. If you’re not able to attend, you can still buy the game on September 27th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Shenmue 3 kickstarter backers received news that they will not receive their refunds if they changed which version of the game they wanted. People who wanted the PC version of the game were unhappy about Shenmue 3 being an Epic Game Exclusive. The Epic Game store has many controversies among the gaming community for its poor interface, failing to launch the game, and security issues regarding purchases.
Backers who were frustrated could apply for a refund if they no longer wanted to receive the PC copy of the game. However, if they switched from the PC copy to the PlayStation 4 copy of the game, they will receive no refund according to Ys Net.
This has angered fans as the instructions for refunds weren’t clear until this last weekend. The full refund option wasn’t available until the weekend as well so backers were forced to wait or change their Epic Copy to a PS4 copy.
If backers wanted, they could have waited a year after the game’s release on the Epic Game store to receive a Steam Code for Shenmue 3. However, Ys Net is unable to guarantee backers will receive the code due to negotiations with Valve. There is also a possibility there will be no Steam version depending on negotiations.
Shenmue 3 comes out on November 19th for the Epic Game Store and PlayStation 4.
Despite all the controversies about Loot Boxes and it could lead to gambling, 2K Games said they can do it even better. Not only will the new NBA 2K20 have loot box card packs, but it will also include slot machines, Lottery Wheels, and pachinko. Using those machines can give you gems to purchase super good players so you can potentially get your favorite player. There’s also daily log-in rewards to keep players coming back for more in the trailer below.
Honestly, this feature is actually sickening. The fanbase for NBA2K is so loyal that I am sure this game will sell millions. NBA 2K19 made over $9 million in less than a year according to Venturebeat.
Despite 2K games telling USGamer, they would cut back in microtransaction for level progressing, I guess they didn’t mean they would cut out all forms of it.
It is disappointing to see and I hope 2K fans don’t purchase this game to not support this type of feature.
