If this is Capcom’s final big Monster Hunter Wilds update, it picked the right one to go out on. The new patch is the last bullet point on the Wilds roadmap, and introduces the ultimate showdown with its flagship monster, Arkveld, along with a bonus quest that feels very much like the end of the road. The new update also adds a Monster Hunter Stories 3 collaboration, lets you head out on a mission with MH4U’s Nadia, and lifts the challenge with the inclusion of ten-star fights. Plus there’s even some more PC performance tweaks, putting the RPG in the…

She…

Part of Minecraft’s charm has always been its simple, blocky, pixelated aesthetic. With more items than ever, and some retextures over the years, vanilla Minecraft looks slightly less grassroots than it did in its early days. However, that elementary appeal remains. That said, over ten years on from those early days, it can be nice to change things up a bit, and Minecraft can look absolutely incredible with the addition of texture packs and shaders. Where shaders affect things like lighting, shadow, and color, texture packs alter the actual textures of the blocks and items around you, so the options…

The Nintendo Treehouse product development division seems to share the same red-nose jolliness as the rest of kid-friendly Nintendo in its various gameplay livestreams, but former Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack says it has a dark side.Extremely dark, Dyack suggests in a new interview with the Kiwi Talkz YouTube channel. He explains that, while he was working with Nintendo to publish GameCube survival horror game Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, he was forced to endure the otherworldly powers of Nintendo Treehouse.”They were like these alien gods that no one could touch,” Dyack recalls. “They didn’t answer to anyone. They just played…

So-called ‘ranks’ in Dead by Daylight were replaced some time ago by a Grading system. These DBD grades have no bearing on your matchmaking rating (MMR) and are simply a way to keep track of your own progress. Your DBD rank is shown by a colored icon in the top right-hand corner of your in-game screen, but what does each icon mean? If you’re wondering what the point is, well, we can’t blame you. There really isn’t one. That said, there is a hefty Bloodpoint reward during each Dead by Daylight grade reset, depending on which level you reach. There…

Bungie has officially delayed Destiny 2’s next major update, previously titled Shadow and Order, to June 9.Shadow and Order was supposed to launch on March 3, but when Bungie announced in January that its next big shooter Marathon is releasing on March 5, there was a lot of doubt that Destiny’s update would hold onto its release date. That doubt grew louder the longer Bungie stayed weirdly quiet about Shadow and Order, and earlier this month Forbes’ Paul Tassi reported that a delay to May was imminent. Unfortunately, it’s a little worse than that, as Bungie has now confirmed Shadow…

OLED gaming monitors continue to get ever more affordable, and this Alienware AW3423DWF deal is a great example. This 34-inch ultrawide display gets you a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution panel that can rip along at 165Hz while delivering the ultra-fast response time and effectively infinite contrast of OLED, all for under $500.

Decades ago, Nintendo embarked upon a once-unthinkable partnership with Sega and Namco to bring a new arcade platform to life – one powered by the GameCube. That platform, known as Triforce, would host a number of unique games, including a pair of original Mario Kart titles. For years, those games have largely been inaccessible, but that’s finally changing thanks to the excellent Wii and GameCube emulator, Dolphin.I have vague memories of seeing Triforce arcade games referenced in the pages of Nintendo Power, but I never saw any of the machines in person, and that’s true for most gamers outside of…

I have a love/hate relationship with survival crafting games. In theory, they all sound great; I get to build whatever I want using nothing but my noggin and the resources around me. What usually happens, though, is I deforest half the map, then forget where I put my wood, and it turns from cozy household to manic scavenger hunt. There are also usually monsters. Windrose is a game that also sounded pretty great in theory – it’s a survival crafting adventure thing, but with a pirate twist – what’s not to like? I did worry, however, that it would be…

The surprise release of Diablo 2’s first new class since the medieval ages has mostly gone down very well, with initial impressions being generally positive. That said, now that players have had a week playing as, playing alongside, and battling Warlocks, there’s a heated debate fracturing the D2 community: are they overpowered?The emerging consensus seems to be, yes, absolutely, 100%, without a shadow of doubt. But then the argument evolves into a broader discussion about whether overpowered classes and builds should be nerfed at all. Like Diablo 4’s Spiritborn problem from a little while back, Blizzard needs to decide whether…
