As a longtime Warrior of Light, I’ve clocked over 5,000 hours in Final Fantasy 14 – and, yes, I’d benefit from touching grass. Hundreds of those hours have gone into hardcore raiding, while hundreds more have been spent tending to my cozy virtual home in the Lavender Beds. Since the ill-received Dawntrail expansion dropped, though, I’ve felt myself losing interest in Eorzea and all its previously enthralling charms.With “Mostly Negative” reviews nearly two years post-launch, the DLC failed to pull me in (and apparently, many others) the same way its predecessors did – but my MMO fatigue may have found…

As April 1 arrived in Japan, Square Enix unleashed chaos by tweeting out the announcement of something called “Nier: Cosmic Horror.” Given the date, you’ve got good reason to believe this announcement is some kind of prank, and a drip of desperation is taking hold in the Nier fandom.

He acknowledged the funk around day-one DLC, but insisted “you have to do this” when it comes to at least…

The mighty have indeed fallen, knee-deep in a puddle of shame at Miquella’s Haligtree. Who could have predicted that the storied Elden Ring player Klein Tsuboi, best known as Let Me Solo Her, would end up this way?Oh, sorry. Let Me Solo Her, who’s been collecting a cabinet of bruises while helping Elden Ring players as a summon over the past four years, actually says it wasn’t him who recently died screaming and in pain during a battle with the indefatigable goddess Malenia. See? Look at what he wrote on Twitter: “If you summoned me for Malenia on March 27th,…

As a daily Animal Crossing player, I’ve been enviously watching the Pokemon Pokopia community build absolutely incredible things with the game’s comparatively advanced toolset, but this latest creation has me questioning whether it’s wise to give players that much freedom.We all have neighbors we don’t like, and thankfully, in Animal Crossing you have relatively harmless ways of expressing that in the form of pitfall traps you can place around your island and the tried-and-true bug net, which you can smack villagers with until they start sulking like little babies. Sure, some people take it to the extreme by trapping villagers…

Letters have been sent by the US Federal Trade Commission to the CEOs of Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe, reminding them that there could be hell to pay if they deny customers access to their services because of said customers’ political or religious views. Potential discrimination against those with Trumpy views are the body’s main concern, but their push could also impact the buying of NSFW games.

Larian Studios founder and CEO Swen Vincke has shared a lengthy insight into the development of the new Divinity game, explaining in fairly nebulous terms that it’s reached a critical point where the developers can “sense that a game is coming alive.”This is very exciting for fans of the prestige studio, who have been waiting with bated breath for news on its next RPG since Divinity was revealed in December. Again, Vincke’s words are vague and explicitly geared toward other game developers, but it sounds like the veteran developer had a lightbulb moment when speaking to Larian writing director Adam…

If you’ve ever longed for your Steam library to be a bunch of shelves littered with physical games you can touch, sniff, and agonise about having to shift if you move house, let me introduce you to Boxroom. It takes all of the games you’ve either bought for pennies in a sale and never got around to playing or paid through the nose for on release and have put 1000 hours into out of sheer sunk-cost fallacy. It sticks their front covers onto boxes you can use to fill a cosy customisable computer room.
