Destiny 2 is a fantastic game that has kept players glued to their screens since it released. With its latest DLC pack being released, more players than ever before have been going through the game to experience this new content. The Forsaken has an interesting storyline that follows the story of Uldren Sov, otherwise known as The Crow. He is a fascinating character, brother to a queen, and has a lot of hidden depth for players to discover during their adventures....

Although the first Destiny 2 content released solely by Bungie won’t roll out until Shadowkeep in September, players are getting their first tastes of what a post-Activision looks like in Season of Opulence. And while some of the changes made to Destiny 2 are good, one upcoming change with the Solstice of Heroes event may be controversial. This week, Bungie revealed how the Solstice of Heroes event will work for Year 2....

Last weekend, Trials of Osiris finally returned after taking several weeks off due to players fixing matches in order to game the system and acquire exclusive loot. Bungie thought they had the problem figured out the weekend before, but it turned out not so much. This makes the past weekend the first time in three weeks that Destiny 2 players could engage with the game’s pinnacle PvP mode. In fact, so many people were playing Trials that it was the most players Destiny 2 had ever seen in the game mode at once....

Destiny 2 may be currently trying to climb itself out of trouble with fans with a full schedule of game updates to address some of the biggest complaints about the game. However, the game’s current state didn’t affect its launch last fall, especially on PC, which Activision says is their biggest PC game launch in the publisher’s history. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said during an earnings call that Destiny 2 was Activision’s best-selling PC game ever “based on units....

By the time players get their hands on a new game or DLC in Destiny, it has been worked on by hundreds of developers who have iterated and polished it for release. But what if those developers were given the development tools of Destiny and some free time to experiment without the need to release whatever they came up with to the public? That is very much the thought behind a yearly event at Bungie called Carnival, a time for the studio’s developers to stretch their creativity to create pretty much whatever they want over the course of a few days....

New weapons and artifacts added in the Rise of Iron leads Destiny fans to test out some myths, whose answers will be helpful to know for players facing certain situations. Destiny: Rise of Iron brings a lot of new content to the table for Destiny fans. Some of them, like the new artifacts that possess unique perks that can change a player’s playstyle. That brings new questions of how they mix with what fans already know....

With the Resident Evil 3 remake launching a few days ago, many have already begun asking the question of what’s next for the Resident Evil franchise. While the remake of the third game was more divisive than its 2019 predecessor, Resident Evil 2, players still found a lot of fun in tangling with Nemesis in glorious HD, especially as the monster’s new range of abilities made him more challenging than ever....

I think the 2000s were full of some of the best and most underrated cartoons. People rave about how the 90s had the best cartoons, but I think that title may go to the 2000s. (Though these shows were basically my childhood, so I may be a bit biased.) The cartoons of this decade did focus a lot on characters. These characters were often more than just the heroes their world needed, but they were also people that had their own struggles as well....

In Mario Golf: Super Rush there’s a fairly robust Adventure Mode to play through which involves levelling up your Mii character to be a competitive golfer, on the same level as Mario, Peach, and the rest of the legendary Mario crew. Even Wario and Waluigi are revered as skilled golfers in this world. You’ll need to do a lot in order to keep up as a humble Mii character in a world filled with Mario monsters, but luckily each level you raise will give you the strength you need to continue, and even beat out those overpowered opponents....

With nearly dozens upon dozens of options for the PC gamer these days it’s tough to find a gamepad that suits them just right. While the form and function of an Xbox 360 controller offers a familiar experience for gamers, it just doesn’t cut it when it comes to options. That’s why Cideko has created the Air Conqueror, a wireless PS3 and PC gamepad that has more features that can be found on standard keyboards....

When it comes to rockstar-level video game developers, it’s hard to think of a better spitting image than Cliff Bleszinski. The 42-year-old game designer is often proclaimed as the Tony Stark of the gaming industry, and he’s quite open about his thoughts about what’s happening in the industry as a whole. Today is evidently no exception, as Bleszinski offered his thoughts on the PlayStation VR headset, stating that he believe the platform was still kind of clunky....

By the end of Melody of Memory, the culmination of Kairi’s adventure seems to be setting up the next big chapter in the Kingdom Hearts universe. After diving into her memories, while the player relives some of the series’ best musical compositions, fans were treated with plenty of Kairi-focused exposition regarding Sora’s disappearance. Apparently, Sora’s sacrifice to save Kairi at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind has sent him deep into the “world of fiction....

It’s been over four years since the release of Grand Theft Auto Online, a game which is, on paper, pretty much exactly what was promised to me as the ultimate video game when I was a child. Hundreds of players? Check. Persistent, changing, online world? Check. Go anywhere, do anything gameplay? Check. Fly a jet, jump out of it, hijack a motorcycle, go over a jump, set off some fireworks dressed as Evel Knievel in a monkey mask?...

Back in 2009, after the release of the next Grand Theft Auto game in the franchise, Rockstar Games unveiled a completely new project in development. Placing players in the world of clandestine espionage during the Cold War, the game would simply be titled Agent. This game was set to be Rockstar’s “ultimate action game,” coming exclusively to the PS3. Several years have passed since that reveal, and yet the game never came out....

Last month, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time launched for next-generation consoles. This allows you to enjoy an enhanced version of this excellent platformer on your brand-new console. However, you don’t need to start over. You can continue where you left off by transferring saves from your old hardware. While the save transfer process is easy on the Xbox Series X|S, the same can’t be said for the PlayStation 5....

There are few games as charming as Cuphead. The combination of its Contra-inspired gameplay and 1930s cartoon art style has made it a major hit. Its success has led to it being ported to every console and having graphic novels written about it. It’s even going to get its own cartoon series on Netflix sometime in the hopefully not-so-distant future. But the true hallmark of success is not measured in TV shows or comic books....

Cyberpunk 2077 has some new attributes for players to mess with. While some of these attributes are pretty standard in RPGs like Body and Reflexes, others are different. The two that stand out amongst the others are the Technical Ability and Cool attributes. For now, the focus is on the Cool attribute. Cool is essentially the player’s ability to sneak. Players who want to hide in the shadows and practice stealth will be drawn to this attribute....

During the Night City Wire presentation for Cyberpunk 2077, among the gameplay announcements was a new section of the game called Braindance Editing. While the developers hinted at it after the reveal, “Braindance” is actually a concept that exists in Cyberpunk lore already. The Braindance is an immersive simulation of the events another person witnesses, feels, and remembers in their life that’s recorded in the brain. The Netrunner interface and other cybersystems have been shown off by Cyberpunk 2077 previously, but the Night City Wire was the first time showing Braindance in the game specifically....

In Dungeons & Dragons, most parties have a goal that they’re striving towards, whether they’re trying to defeat a villain, save the world, or just get as much gold as humanly (or perhaps goblinly) possible. However, most characters also have individual goals and motivations that may align with or diverge from the goals of the party as a whole. As a Dungeon Master, you will often find yourself writing scenarios that give your players chances to achieve their goals, but you might not want to have them directly succeed the way they think they will....

While From Software might be criticized from time to time for releasing very similar games over the past few years, it’s hard to argue with the results. The Dark Souls community is one of the most passionate fan bases going today, and it’s partly their responsibility for the prevalence of Dark Souls memes and achievement hunting. Despite the series’ dark nature, fans have become good at producing Dark Souls content that’s cheerful, perhaps in response to the series’ incredible difficulty level often causing broken controllers, television screens, or consoles after bouts of frustration....
