There will always be a place for DLC, right after you playthrough and complete a truly masterful game and you just want more and don't want to wait 4-5yrs for the sequel, buy the DLC and keep the amazing journey going if even for a short while.
The issue is not that DLC exists, its that most companies don't do DLC right. Such is why just the mere mention of DLC triggers people.
God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.
What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore. ...
Can't do any worse than Halo as a live service so yes please, atleast try it.
God of War? Hello? Is Kratos not a PS2 mascot? Hard to think that he's not.
Kotick desperate for that golden parachute!

What are you even talking about? The season pass is for the STORY CONTENT. This is just normal regular paid DLC like hundreds of other games have where you get more story content with additional deaths added in. Why new deaths? It reeeeaallly doesnt take a genius to know that the deaths aren't in the core game because the new enemy types and new weapons that they will come up with next year aren't in the game yet. Duh!
How absolutely anyone ...
wow thanks for the spoilers! Someone deny this "article" before it gets approved.
You are not "paying for death animations"
You are paying for the additional story content that the DLC brings, like every other DLC made.
Also this is Callisto Protocol, you will die hundreds of times.

They are part of the "big three" because there are only 3 platform holders and they are one of the three. Thats it.
Nintendo "does their own thing" because out of the 3 platform holders, Nintendo differs vastly than the other 2 due to being completely uninterested in keeping up with the latest technology and innovations, they are still stuck in the 1080p world as their top resolution. They also have very little interest in releasi...
To all readers of this article, death animations are NOT locked behind a paywall. The creator came out to say that the article is wrong and that everything they made is in the game.
What this means is that the DLC has brand new content including new death animations. Absolutely nothing that was previously created has been "locked behind a paywall".
Nintendo hasn't been serious competition to anyone in decades. Nintendo has always been viewed as "doing their own thing" in their own little corner somewhere.
As harmful as it would be to allow MS to have Acti-Blizz, I think it could be even more harmful to imagine what MS would turn around and do with that $68B on hand that is just free money again. Any purchases made after being denied ActiBlizz would not be blocked, so they could just buy up 3-5 smaller publishers. Leaving only 1 or 2 left for Sony.
A new pixel art Metal Slug is coming called Metal Slug Tactics, though its a turn based game.
One of the biggest game launches of the year.
People don't buy CoD because its some great shooter that can just be replicated by a few years of dev time. They buy it because its called Call of Duty. The name is what sells it, not much else.
Sony can make an equivalent shooter with everything CoD has but if its not titled Call of Duty... it wont sell.
But im sure you understood that right?
Outriders? How does that make any sense, a single player narrative game is a clone of a 4 player co-op Destiny clone looter shooter?
I don't get why people cling to physical, you know there is nothing on the disc right? If the game servers go down at some point, you cant play the disc, its a paper weight. No physical media made today has the full game on the disc. Is it the illusion of ownership ppl cling to?
Proud to own a disc shaped weight?
Not to mention shelf space, you store 100+ games on a shelf and you have to buy more shelves, meanwhile I store 1000's of games on my account and no space ...
Who honestly thought this would be a good idea for an article? Bring up a subject that hundreds of internet debates have been started on? What it shows is that Naughty Dog has zero respect for their characters and would much rather make games based on extreme feminism and "wahmen power" than make something millions of users would actually enjoy.
I'll surely never buy another Naughty Dog game again.
Without abuse in chat, Call of Duty wouldnt exist! It's one of its defining features.
Overwatch 2 despite the rough launch and bugs is hugely successful and crazy popular.
Not to mention Killzone is already dead so if a live service fails it what? Goes back to doing what it is now, being dead. Thus Killzone has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
