Cyberpunk 2077 might be a game that sells itself as a futuristic first-person RPG, but that doesn’t mean it lacks ties to the comic book genre. It’s one thing to feel heroic as you cut down mobsters and corrupt corpo overlords on your way to bringing peace to Night City, but there is one piece of equipment that can make you feel super-heroic while doing so. The Gorilla Arms are nothing like the Monowire and Mantis Blade alternatives....

The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is built so that you can do whatever your abilities allow you to. You can invest in tech and intelligence to hack through computer networks so you don’t get your hands dirty, or you can very literally get your hands dirty by focusing your stats on strength and assault tactics. Whichever way you want to play in Cyberpunk 2077 is valid, and the game lets you know as much because almost every mission has a hidden way to infiltrate or solve difficult encounters without too much stress....

Maybe the biggest news story of 2020 was how Cyberpunk 2077 was released as a buggy, glitchy, unfinished mess on previous-gen consoles, but especially on the PlayStation 4. So many angry Cyberpunk players demanded refunds that Sony actually delisted the game from the PlayStation Store, meaning the only way to actually play the game on PlayStation was to have already purchased a physical copy. Apparently, that was a joint decision with CD Projekt Red to stem the tide of returns that had backlogged Sony’s customer service department....

Boss fights are a core part of the Dark Souls franchise. These enemies will stop at nothing to see you die over and over again. While some do this better than others, most of the bosses in the series are iconic for one reason or another. Considered the black sheep of the series, Dark Souls 2 has a plethora of bosses for you to face, some of which are rather hidden....

FromSoftware has always played around with horror in a fantasy setting when it comes to the Soulsborne franchise, a fact very reminiscent of their work on the King’s Field series. Dark Souls 3 is arguably the darkest game in the series and that’s really saying something given how oppressive the atmosphere is between Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne. Dark Souls 3 is set in a dying world that’s long past its expiration date, taking players to desolate buildings filled with decrepit beasts....

Dark Souls 3 is home to several amazing weapons that work for dozens of play styles and character builds. Depending on preference and build, certain weapons will scale and be extremely powerful. With the right build, most tools can be viable; however, some weapons are naturally better than others. Looking over the base stats for the weapons, there’s a number of them that rise above the rest. From greataxes to melee weapons, FromSoftware provides a large selection of powerful tools to take out the vilest of enemies....

Prima Games goes all out for Dark Souls 3 with plans to release a deluxe version of the game’s official strategy guide, complete with the series’ iconic Estus Flask. With just over a month to go before Dark Souls 3 is released, promotional efforts for the game are starting to ramp up. Following PlayStation Japan’s announcement of the Japan-only PlayStation 4 console bundle earlier this week, strategy guide maker Prima Games has put together something special of their own for Dark Souls 3....

Welcome to the fog to all hopeful survivors and devout killers. With a mere 48 hours passed since its release, Dead by Daylight Mobile has surpassed 1 million downloads and is off to a great start in this asymmetric multiplayer horror game by Montreal-based developer Behavior Interactive. The game is sure to be a big hit as time goes on, with its more accessible monetization model attracting more new players. Unlike Dead by Daylight for PC and console, Mobile is completely free to play, giving players a few survivors and killers for free with others purchasable with Auric cells, the premium currency in the game, or Iridescent Shards, another currency earned through gameplay....

The Game Awards 2020 airs in just over 24 hours. The annual awards ceremony is set up to be the biggest event of December, building off of the excitement from the launch of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Over a dozen games are expected to be announced, with more reveals even beyond that. Excited viewers can add another confirmed game to the list, it seems, as The Game Awards 2020 host Geoff Keighley announced that a new game is going to be revealed from one of the creators of Dead Space....

The video game publisher and developer Capcom files yet another trademark in the United States for the PlayStation 4 exclusive dungeon-crawler Deep Down. It has been quite a while since we’ve heard any concrete news regarding the status of Deep Down, as it was about six months ago when its trademark was extended by Capcom, leading many to wonder what fate holds for what was initially revealed several years ago as one of the first exclusive games to be coming to the PlayStation 4....

The PlayStation 5 showcase on Wednesday is sure to generate a lot of buzz. Perhaps we will finally learn the price of the console. Perhaps there will be another major game announcement. Maybe, just maybe, that game announcement could be Final Fantasy 16. To strengthen the argument, Square Enix executive officer and Final Fantasy brand manager Shinji Hashimoto excitedly tweeted about the event but promptly deleted it. Fans have recently discovered that a Twitter account has been opened for Final Fantasy 16, but it isn’t active....

The Demon’s Souls remake will keep the core gameplay intact, and yes, that includes the grind. But don’t worry, it’ll be fine with all the new weapons, armor, and rings you can get. When Sony announced that they’d be remaking Demon’s Souls with the help of Bluepoint Games, there was some concern that it would lose the essence of what made the original so great. Brutal difficulty that leads to repeated trial and error is a hallmark of all Souls game, and you’ll be happy to know that it’s not going anywhere in the remade Demon’s Souls....

When it comes to Destiny feats, it never ceases to amaze us how far players will go to squeeze a little extra juice out of Bungie’s game. From jumping the Hellmouth in a Sparrow to beating Atheon in less than a minute, players know how to challenge themselves in ways that the original game never could. But all of them are mere peons compared to Destiny die-hard Lucy. Not only is Lucy one of the best Destiny players around, capable of hitting a 5:1 kill-to-death ratio in the Crucible and beating any raid on her first try, she has accomplished so much before even becoming a teenager....

Sci-fi fans looking for an action-packed title can look no further than Bungie’s Destiny 2. Thanks to its fast-paced combat and flexible classes, players can start playing for the story and stay for the endgame. Moreover, the game offers a healthy amount of team-based content for players to enjoy. These come in the form of raids as well as competitive team-versus-team matches that test the skill of players in the endgame....

Here’s where you can get all 50 of Savathun’s Eyes with the new Exotic Trace Rifle, Ruinous Effigy in Destiny 2. The Ruinous Effigy has arrived, and Guardians are all going nuts about how they can turn enemies into void balls to dunk them on other enemies. It’s a truly exotic Exotic that does something no other weapon has ever done in the game, and it’s a lot of fun to boot....

Destiny 2: Forsaken is now out in the wild, and there’s a good chance that droves of new players and longtime Guardians are delving into all that the science fiction shooter’s latest expansion has to offer, with many touting the new Mindbender Adventure as one of their favorite missions so far. However, those who have already taken out the titular Baron on their quest to avenge Cayde-6’s death may have overlooked the Adventure’s secret chest....

With less than 24 hours until the launch of Season of Opulence, Destiny 2 players are likely putting the finishing touches on their raid preparation for the Crown of Sorrow Raid. But while the focus is on accumulating as many powerful rewards in the short amount of time between Season 7’s launch and the raid going live, there is another aspect of preparation that players should consider. Because they are so rare, players may not realize that last season introduced some of the best mods to Destiny 2....

One of Destiny 2’s top PvP events, Iron Banner, returns today for its first appearance in Season of the Chosen. Lord Saladin is back with his usual selection of pinnacle gear bounties, weapons, and armor to chase down. Much like regular Crucible Control, Iron Banner pits two teams of six players against each other in a fight for control over three objectives. Although Iron Banner has some extra rules that make the mode more competitive and encourages teams to be more cooperative in their objective play....

Guardian Games 2021 is nearly upon us. The event was originally added in Destiny 2 last year with Season of the Worthy. However, the event itself didn’t add much incentive for players to farm for their favorite class except for just completing bounties every day. This caused a huge backlash with players calling the event, “bounty simulator.” This year, with the release of Season of the Chosen, Bungie has officially revealed that Guardian Games 2021 will be returning with all-new armor sets, ornaments, ghost shells, emblems, and much more....

Earlier this week, Destiny 2 PC players complained that they had been unfairly banned from the game. As some fans feared that they had been banned accidentally by Bungie (which is what happened to some at launch), the developer has now commented on the matter. On the game’s official forums, one disgruntled Destiny 2 player wrote that they had been banned from the game for “no reason” and that they did “nothing on purpose to get an unfair advantage in the game....
