Warriors Orochi 4 on Switch is looking a bit rough

DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Koei Tecmo Japan has released a new trailer forWarriors Orochi 4running on Switch and just…ooof. This is looking a bit rough. While the texture quality would obviously need to take a hit, that framerate is just unfortunate. I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but I figured that withFire Emblem Warriorshaving a 720p/60 FPS option, we would at least be able to experience the latestWarriorstitle with a fluid framerate on the go....

The common test comes ahead of the scheduled global launch on September 12 (hopefully, there’s no delay). Those who participated in the earlier beta couldn’t retain their squads and the progress they made, as the common test puts everyone at the same starting point.

You got this Halo 5: Guardians, imminently-releasing video game as it is, is in the final stages of showing off everything it has to offer.

Gradually, it inched toward the game it was promised to be, and the 2.0 update that comes alongside the first expansion,Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, will be the next step on its journey.

Given thatDestiny 2‘s Raids are its pinnacle-level content, featuring both mechanical and statistical difficulties, it is fairly self-evident that Raid bosses, too, ought to be equally impressive in more ways than not. Challenging, imposing, and memorable, Raid bosses are supposed to serve as the final obstacle to loot and other assorted goodies, but is that always the case? Or havesomeRaid bosses become overhyped Strike targets rather than top-end world-ending threats?...

Best characters in Star Wars video games

Even though Disney threw the Star Wars Extended Universe straight into the strongest trash compactor in the company’s possession, I believe even many lovers of the originalStar Warstrilogy would agree that someStar Warsvideo games feature some characters more compelling than anything seen in a lot of what Disney considers canon. Let’s look at some characters that could go toe-to-toe with Han Solo popularity-wise, shall we? Darth Sion TheStar Warsextended universe has seen many characters using The Force in peculiar ways, but I doubt you’ll find aStar Warsstory where characters make more interesting use of it than inKnights of the Old Republic 2....

Next month, on Jul 08, 2025, Broken Roads will make its debut for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Ever since it was first revealed,Broken Roadshas intrigued me because it seeks to blend the classic isometricFalloutgame style with a morality system bearing a close resemblance toDisco Elysium‘s personality mechanic. There’s something about this style of RPG that pulls me in and won’t let me go, and I think that’s true of many top-down RPG fans....

Can Twitch work together to play Hearthstone?

To play and win, I should say I’m overTwitch Plays Pokemon, but it was fun while it lasted for me. And that’s not to say I’m bored of the concept of people collaborating to play a game via live stream, generally speaking. Some will be hits, some will be misses. I’m not yet sure whereHearthstone: Heroes of Warcraftfalls. Find out for yourself atHearthmind. Players can drag their mouse cursor directly on-screen to “vote” for an in-game action during a five-second window, and the winning move will be performed after a small delay....
