Marathon's battle pass slammed as the "worst value for your money" as limits on cosmetics remind players of Bungie's past failings: "Welcome back launch Destiny 2 shaders"
The long-term monetization of a live-service game is always a little contentious, because it’s hard to find ways of delivering value while still ensuring a game’s financial viability. Marathon is no different, and mere days into the full launch, some players aren’t happy about the cosmetics in the FPS or the battle pass.On the note of visual customizations, there are stickers and charms you can get to put on your weapons. Though nice little decorations, they’ve irritated the community because you have to collect duplicates – mostly available through monetary means – in order to put the same ones on…
Oi, you! Yes, you, the sun. There’s no hiding. I saw you creeping up over the hill at 6am and staying there for nearly a whole 12 hours yesterday. Stop looking sheepish, you’re not in trouble. Why, in fact, I think I might spend this weekend outside and enjoy your almost springly warmth. I might play some games, too, but only if it’s near an open window where I can feel the breeze on my face. How about everyone else? JamesHaving been charmed by Resident Evil Requiem’s spin-kicky action segments, I’m revisiting the Resident Evil 4 remake. I was mad…

Pedro Pascal says it makes "perfect sense" for Din Djarin to remove his helmet in The Mandalorian and Grogu
Mandalorians are known for never removing their helmets in front of others, but for Pedro Pascal, removing his helmet in his upcoming Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu makes “perfect sense.””When we got to that part, all I can say is that it made perfect sense, and it was what I was hoping would be the reason,” Pascal tells Empire about removing his helmet as the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin. “If I were to pitch something, I would say, ‘The only thing that makes sense is…’ And that’s exactly it. He filled that blank. I said immediately, ‘Jon,…
New Bandai Namco Sword Art Online action RPG is "not a Soulslike," dev says, but it's still "very easy to die" which is bad news if you're playing on the mode that deletes your save when you die
The game Bandai Namco was teasing earlier this week has been revealed: It’s a new Sword Art Online action RPG called Echoes of Aincrad, billed as an exploration of the darker side of the anime it’s based on. And while what little combat we’ve seen largely involves huge dark fantasy creatures with big weapons and a player character keen on dodge-rolling and parrying, the developers insist this game is “not a Soulslike.”Talking to Japanese publication Denfaminicogamer (translation via Automaton), SAO series producer Yosuke Futami and Echoes of Aincrad head of production Yasuhiro Yahata made a few points of clarification about…

An unannounced Hunter The Reckoning game has seemingly leaked, courtesy of Robocop Rogue City
A Robocop: Rogue City update that lasted just 31 minutes on Steam before it was reversed appears to have briefly replaced the entire game with another one.

Users that were reportedly able to download this before it was removed have shared images of a title screen bearing that name, along with some early locations of a quest where the player is gathering information about a bar shootout. If you’re as old as I am, you might remember the…
The solution to the Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem is going to take some work. You’ll need at least one full play through so you can complete the game with a doll in your inventory, and most of the work goes into making that doll appear. There’s no quick way to do this, but you can at least try to do it as efficiently as possible to save time. If you’re starting a whole new play through just to get the doll then do it on easy for starters. The only thing that really matters here is getting to…
