New Crimson Desert patch adds skills for every character, weapon display toggles, and makes that controversial fast-forward feature even faster
Say what you want about Crimson Desert, but one thing that’s undeniable is how darn quick Pearl Abyss has been in responding to player feedback and pushing out patches like it has a quote to fill. The studio’s latest update adds new skills, an option to hide weapons, and an even faster fast-forward option, for some reason.Crimson Desert’s 1.03.00 patch is available on every platform the game is – except for the three people playing on the Mac App Store, which is in-progress – and its headlining feature is the fresh new skills. Kliff now has something called a Focused…

The Pines asks what would Alan Wake look like if it was about therapy, and I kind of want to know the answer
Therapy is not the cure all that many like to make it out to be, but that doesn’t mean your favourite gruff fictional detective couldn’t still do it. This is, sort of, what The Pines is about, a game that if you squint real hard could probably pass for Alan Wake. The vibes are certainly similar, especially with Alan Wake 2, given that The Pines sees its protagonist finding himself in a strange, wooded (sort of) town, but it’s got enough of its own thing going on to pique my interest. I said sort of town because the…
Skyrim was "the holy s*** moment" at Bethesda, says veteran Pete Hines: "You have to be concerned about us if you think you're going to win game of the year"
You don’t need me to remind you about how big a deal Skyrim was (and still is) – it’s one of the best-selling, most-modded, memeable, and influential games ever made – but for Bethesda Game Studios, the studio that developed the giant hit, the game was its first “Holy S*** moment.”That’s according to Pete Hines, the company’s former publishing lead who had been at Bethesda for a whopping 24 years. He told Firezide Chat that Morrowind allowed the company to stay afloat during a rocky financial time and Oblivion solidified the developer as an unignorable presence in the RPG space,…

Make the…
GTA 6 maker Rockstar confirms another hack, says "this incident has no impact on our organization or our players"
Rockstar Games – the developer behind the eagerly anticipated GTA 6 and other past favorites like Red Dead Redemption 2 – has confirmed reports that another data breach has occurred, though insists that the latest incident “has no impact on our organization or our players.”Earlier today, several outlets reported that an infamous hacker group claimed to have breached the company’s secured cloud servers, obtaining a large collection of data as a result. As such, the group is demanding that a sum be paid in the coming days, otherwise what has been obtained will allegedly be leaked.Now, Rockstar has issued the…
It appears that GTA 6 developer Rockstar have been subjected to yet another hack. Earlier today, The Cybersec Guru shared a report that a hacker group by the name of ShinyHunters had added Rockstar Games to its dark web leak site. The hack apparently wasn’t directly targeted at Rockstar or their Snowflake data warehouse, but at Anodot, a SaaS cloud-cost monitoring tool Rockstar uses. ShinyHunters offered the following statement, directed at the Grand Theft Auto developer: “Rockstar Games. Your Snowflake instances were compromised thanks to Anodot.com. Pay or leak. This is a final warning to reach out by…
Greek mythology ARPG Titan Quest 2 is doing just about everything I hoped for from the sequel to one of the most beloved games like Diablo. Sticking to a contained experience rather than trying to chase live-service trends, it’s building on the fundamentals that made the original a success, like its class mastery system and some gorgeous, crafted area and encounter design. Grimlore Games has also been making some pretty impressive strides through early access, and has just revealed the next addition, which will be immediately popular with fans of Diablo’s Necromancer. The next Titan Quest 2 update is set…
World of Warcraft didn't scare the RuneScape devs, who were getting "tens of thousands of new accounts every single day" in 2004 and could barely build servers fast enough for the MMO to keep up
World of Warcraft is the 800-pound gorilla of the MMO world – the undisputed titan that the entire genre is measured against. You might think that the developers behind RuneScape, an even older and far more modest online RPG, would’ve been a little nervous when Blizzard’s game launched, but it seems that’s not the case. Jagex was, after all, too busy suffering from success.There was “surprisingly not” much worry about WoW’s launch within Jagex, according to an interview with RuneScape design director Mark Ogilvie from the October 2014 issue of GamesTM. Ogilvie attributed the RuneScape’s success to its very light…
Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter
I do not like the combination of the words “Epic Games,” “Disney,” and “extraction shooter,” yet write them I must. That’s because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal. Last month, Epic laid off over 1000 employees, citing the usual “industry-wide challenges” as well as “challenges unique to Epic” as the reasons for why they had to do so. An additional effect of these layoffs is…
