I blame everyone but myself Here’s a funny thing about covering games: you either play a lot of them or you don’t play enough of them and either way, everything blurs together. Every week, dozens — if not hundreds — of new games come out. Most of them aren’t anything special. Some of them are kind of interesting. And a select few are actually Great Games. Keeping track of the year’s releases is impossible....
Raven Software stepped in and nerfed the Riveter and Tonfa, after both weapons unexpectedly performed above expectations. It’s been a busy week for theWarzonedevs. On May 14, aminor updateimplemented measure to prevent players from firing the COR-45 IP-V2 conversion kit faster than intended. PreviouslyWarzoneplayers discovered questionable workarounds that made the pistol have thefastest time-to-kill speedin Warzone for short-range meta weapons. The patch also finally fixed the reload issues caused by the automatic tactical sprint and prioritize interact settings that had been plaguing the battle royale for weeks....
Watch_Daschunds expansion confirmed? For a game that built up as much pre-launch hype asWatch Dogs, it’s super weird that Ubisoft hasn’t made a bigger deal of the inevitable sequel. We know it’s coming though, and we now know it’ll be coming sometime before April 2017. In its end-of-quarter financial report, Ubisoft confirmed that it is working on a sequel toWatch Dogsand that it will be due out in the next fiscal year....
I’m so excited aboutMega Man 9releasing on WiiWare tomorrow that I’ve started formulating a Blue Bomber holy trinity in my head. It makes sense when you think about it (in a highly obsessive manner completely devoid of reason; insert snarky comparison to actual religions here). Dr. Light is the father, Mega Man is the son and Protoman the holy spirit. You know, because Protoman… yeah, I’m kinda stretching. While you’re waiting for the most important download of the year to become available, perhaps some of these stories that we did not write about will help you pass the time....
Dendrobiums are local specialties of Inazuma used to level up certain characters inGenshin Impact. Here’s the best farming route to get as many Dendrobiums as possible in the shortest amount of time. These blood-red flowers grow on old battlefields of Inazuma, and you can find them clustered around Yashiori Island and Kannazuka. They take 48 hours to respawn after collecting, and there are55 of themin the overworld. You will need 168 Dendrobiums to fully Ascend any one character, so it will take at least four runs through your world to obtain enough....
Cinematics, Schminamatics This Sunday, June 11, will see Microsoft take to the airwaves for its Xbox Games Showcase presentation, essentially its big summer stream that one would expect as part of the E3 festivities. And the black-and-green brand is promising to show off a whole host of titles, most of which will be sporting “in-engine” footage. “None of our first-party games in the show are full CG trailers,”said Xbox VP of Gaming Aaron Greenberg on Twitter....
You can’t see me right now, so you’ll just have to take my word for it: I’m jumping for joy. Why, you ask? Well I just pre-purchasedGuild Wars 2.If you haven’t done so already then you can, too. NCsoft and ArenaNet have opened up the floodgates to pre-purchasing hordes this very day. Normally I don’t get this excited over pre-purchasing a game. I mean, I’m spending money on something I won’t be able to play for quite some time, but it’sGuild Wars 2and I’m not ashamed to say it’s been making me drool for ages now....
Disclaimer: The vast majority of you will not win a PS4 Want to get your grubby hands on one of those fancy white PS4s bundled withDestiny? It’ll cost you a fair sum of money — something like $450. That is, unless you make a run for the border and live más. Beginning October 9, Taco Bell’s giving away a lot of these exact bundles. One every 15 minutes to be precise....
As we approach the launch of yet another highly anticipated game fromThe Legend of Zeldafranchise, it’s hard not to look back at all the games that have come before. Especially if you’ve been there since the very beginning with that golden NES cartridge. Nintendo has created so many great adventures across Hyrule over the past thirty years that it can be easy to find your brain overstuffed with memories of the green-clad kid with the sword and the pointy hat....
Last hurrah and all that Origin is clearing out digital inventory (because it takes up so many 1s and 0s) and taking60% offDragon Age: Inquisitionalong withBattlefield 4 Premium Edition. If you don’t have either of these games, they’re both now at historic lowest prices for their PC digital versions. Both are decent games by all standards, even if you loath EA for whatever reason (insert “because X” in comments below). The less popularBattlefield Hardlineisalso on discount, but we personally haven’t given it much of a go, so we can’t recommend it easily by comparison....
At 7AM PT A SeptemberNintendo Directis confirmed!It’ll be viewable here, and since a lot of people are keen on details, here’s the full rundown we got from Nintendo: “Tune in at 7 a.m. PT on Tuesday, Sept. 13, for a Nintendo Direct livestream featuringroughly 40 minutesof information mainly focused on Nintendo Switchgames launching this winter.” Breaking the obvious down, this is a fully-fledged 40-minute non-indie Direct, which will likely focus on first-party games as well as “partner studios....
The Grassroots Greats promo is coming very soon toEA FC 25, and you’re able to expect some fantastic items to arrive in packs. EA Sports has confirmed the release date and officially announced the upcoming addition of Argentine legend Maradona to the database. His card will be added to Ultimate Team as part of the promo, but Grassroots Greats isn’t only about El Diego. We have already had some fun rumors about possible new cards....
With the announcement ofElder Scrolls IV Oblivion‘s remaster, Bethesda noted that there were voice lines added to the new game. They didn’t revoice the whole thing, because how could you possibly replace Sir Patrick Stewart as Emperor Uriel Septim? The additional voice actors help to break things up. One of the original game’s constraints in 2006 was memory. The sheer amount of voice files meant they didn’t have room for as many unique voices as they wanted....
