Rubbing shoulders with factions is a big part of the Fallout: New Vegas charm, even if it often devolves into you doing a bunch of favours if you don’t want to risk ending up on the vilified naughty list for one too many accidental grenade pickpocktings. You do get some nice perks for keeping the likes of the NCR or Legion on side, but a new mod aims to take that to a new level, letting you send faction cronies out on handy odd jobs while you kick your feet up.
Want to play Overwatch crossplay? When Overwatch originally launched in 2016, the idea of supporting crossplay, let alone cross-platform progression, was almost unheard of. Fortunately, things have changed considerably across the gaming landscape, making it easier than ever to play with your friends across a variety of platforms. With players flooding back to Overwatch, it’s important to know about some of the changes made to crossplay and cross-progression since these features were first introduced. No matter how you’d prefer to utilize the Overwatch crossplay and cross-progression features in the free PC game, here’s everything you need to know to get it…
The Elder Scrolls 6 is a return to that “classic” Bethesda RPG style, says studio head Todd Howard.Appearing on today’s Kinda Funny Gamescast, Howard gave a surprisingly meaty, although fairly vague, update on The Elder Scrolls 6. While he admitted the game won’t be out “for a while yet,” he gave fans of beloved Bethesda RPGs something to chew on while they wait. Apparently, The Elder Scrolls 6 will be a return to form following the “creative detour” Bethesda took with Fallout 76 and then Starfield.”If you look at our games, we’ve always evolved. We do have a certain style…
Avowed now has a bunch more possibilities when it comes to one of the most important fantasy RPG build archetypes, thanks to the deployment of its anniversary update. Three new character races are on offer alongside the established humans and elves, and you can arm them with a quarterstaff which caters to mages who think puny wands and books aren’t quite showy enough. As you might recall, some of the stuff included in this anniversary update was orignally supposed to arrive in Avowed late last year, but ended up being delayed by Obsidian.
Since it dropped at the tail end of October, Arc Raiders has shrugged off any potential threats to its firm grip on my gaming time. New seasons of Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 have led to brief dabbles with both games, but little more than that. Destiny 2’s Star Wars-themed Renegades expansion is still sitting in my library, waiting to be played. Even the addictive nature of cursed slot machine sim Cloverpit couldn’t keep me away from Embark’s extraction shooter for long. However, over the last week or so, I’ve started to show signs of Arc Raiders fatigue, which…
I have a confession to make: my favorite Studio Ghibli movie is almost certainly not your favorite Studio Ghibli movie.The house that Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata helped build may have launched itself into anime superstardom with sprawling fantasy epics Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke but, after rewatching the entirety of Studio Ghibli’s oeuvre not long after turning 30, it’s the restrained slice of life dramas that resonate me with most today.As much as I adore the pitch-perfect whimsy of My Neighbor Totoro or the overflowing imagination found in Howl’s Moving Castle, From Up on Poppy Hill – 15 years…
Far from ushering in a technological golden age, artificial intelligence is giving PC hardware its most trying time in years. As huge, hyper-rich tech companies go about building resource-intensive AI data centres in pursuit of future wealth, the resulting memory chip shortages have detonated consumer-level pricing for RAM modules, graphics cards, SSDs, and even ancient hard drives. Doubling or tripling street-level outlays without harming sales would, you’d think, make a lot of gaming gear makers – especially their accounting departments – very happy indeed. But as those chips have become a scarce commodity at the supplier level, even the bigger…
I’m desperate to get my hands on Crimson Desert. The new open-world game is looking absolutely packed, bringing together dynamic, flowing combat that has exhilarated me in multiple previews and a vast land filled with an impressive array of activities and pursuits. But is it an RPG? Developer Pearl Abyss doesn’t think so, and is careful not to call it one, although director of marketing Will Powers acknowledges that there are certainly reasons why you might. This discussion was raised recently during a special Crimson Desert preview segment on the Dropped Frames podcast, where Powers admitted that the team has…
It’s starting to look like a port of No Rest for the Wicked on Switch 2 is coming together. A pretty big hint was provided by one of the action-RPG’s lead devs, who gave an update on how it’s going in just about the most direct way possible.Thomas Mahler, creative director of No Rest for the Wicked and CEO of developer Moon Studios, shared a now-deleted clip on Twitter of the game running on Nintendo’s latest console, since reposted on Reddit. This isn’t a mere screen capture, but actual candid footage of him playing a live version on the Switch…
I’ve been shying away from The Killing Stone because it’s a deckbuilding card battler, and we do get a lot of emails about those. The game launches into Steam early access today, so it’s time to have a proper gander. Ho now! This is a deckbuilding card battler… set in a mansion somewhere in the Arctic during the 17th century… created by Question Games, developers of ‘unfinished game’ game The Magic Circle and weird suburbia sim The Blackout Club. Yes, the same Question who were founded by people who worked on Bioshock, Thief and Dishonored. What’s more, The…
