Another gaming milestone for me or rather a key decision save point. With Last of Us II and the Division 2 Raid dropping this month I\u2019m pondering on being a gaming spectator until PS5 arrives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just remembering how brilliant and involved the first scene of Part I was fills me with so much anticipation. The drama, the soundtrack and the gameplay were first class.\u00a0 We have waited for months for the Division 2 second Raid and from what we know of the first Raid this one will no doubt be seriously tough and require teamwork, a mix of Builds (Damage, Skill, Healer and Tanks) and top-notch group communication, coordination and leadership skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course, there is always the Division Survival PvP Tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being out of hardcore gaming for 5+ months is achievable, in fact, it\u2019s been 12 days since I deleted Division 2 and my absence has been noted.\u00a0 The device is not with me and I can leave it in storage for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either way, the second-hand experiences of being that kid in the arcade that was always there but never play would be available through Twitch.tv, those who can\u2019t game Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With PS5 on the horizon, this could also be the perfect time for Play suspension as I\u2019ll no doubt want to jump onto the hype train with the added benefit of purchase justification. After all “I haven\u2019t played a game in 5 months”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, I\u2019ll keep on Twitching\u2026for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another gaming milestone for me or rather a key decision save point.
