Change is on the horizon with Destiny 2. While Bungie continues to keep fans updated on its plans to transform many elements of the game next season and beyond, the studio moved incredibly quickly this past week to make big adjustments to the Felwinter’s Lie quest. Pushing players to complete Seraph Tower events as a community, Bungie seemed to overestimate how quickly players would complete this, ultimately lessening the difficulty and significantly increasing progression rates to help get step one done faster....

It didn’t take long after the launch of Destiny 2’s Forsaken expansion for the scarcity of Masterwork Cores in the newly designed sandbox to become a common complaint among players. Developer Bungie has detailed how Masterwork Cores are set to change in a game update next week, starting with a name change to Enhancement Cores. That name change stems from how the role of Masterwork Cores have changed since they were first introduced in Destiny 2....

Bungie released a brand-new hotfix in Destiny 2 this week that nerfed almost every Stasis subclass - with the exception of Warlock. Warlocks got a little buff on their Shadebinder super, and with that buff, it looks like Bungie introduced yet another bug into the game. Paulo Fuentes shared a clip shortly after the weekly reset when they were testing all the new Stasis changes that went live yesterday with hotfix 3....

Any players who are underleveled and returning to Destiny 2 for the upcoming Season of the Drifter and Joker’s Wild add-on apparently don’t need to worry about being locked out of the game’s new content when it launches. There will be a way for those players to level up quickly so that they can play Joker’s Wild right away, with developer Bungie saying it will detail exactly how it works next week....

A Destiny fan creates a Twitter account that matches shaders from the game with birds that share a similar color pattern, and it’s blowing up in the community. To outsiders, Destiny fans must seem like they speak a different language. Spend time with them and you’ll hear words coming out of their mouths such as Vault of Glass, Crota, Motes of Light, and Xur. In a way, it is another language....

You could almost consider Captain America: The First Avenger to be the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we’ve come to know it. The 2011 Joe Johnston film wasn’t the first Marvel movie, nor was it the first to bring in elements from upcoming projects (The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 both beat it to the punch). But it is the one that does the most heavy lifting in terms of world-building for the Marvel Universe, and some of its scenes have taken on more weight recently, thanks to projects like the Agent Carter TV series, not to mention its two sequels, The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, and let’s not forget Avengers: Infinity War....

Joanna Bennett, Brie Larson’s stunt double on Captain Marvel, shared an incredible fight concepts video for Captain Marvel 2 on Instagram and both she and the video kick total ass. Though it looks rough in comparison to a finished film, it’s still a really impressive feat. The clip shows Joanna Bennett taking on a group of “criminals”, in reality her fellow stuntmen, using a combination of perfectly executed flip kicks and energy blasts topped off with some Zack Snyder-esque slow-mo....

Farms are among the first improvements that a Builder can create in Civilization 6, and at the beginning of a game they bestow an additional Food yield and half an additional Housing upon a tile. This makes Farms a possible tool for encouraging Population growth in Civ 6, though some players may wonder if they are worth constructing at all. Indeed, Builder charges are a very valuable resource, and this guide looks to address if fans should be using them to establish Farms....

It sure is exciting to finally get to the end game. Now we can do some really cool stuff with our maxed out gear and high-level trinkets. However, just because you feel indestructible doesn’t mean you actually are, no matter how many buffs you have or the number of consumables in your massive 16 slot bags. Molten Core is one of the first raids most players experience in Classic World of Warcraft, and it’s fairly simple as far as the mechanics go....

Call of Duty: Warzone recently added a new mode to their list of options called Realism. It seeks to provide a more real-life combat experience for players to enjoy. Some hate it and others love it, but many are just confused as to what this mode entails in terms of the gameplay. This list seeks to clarify what this mode is all about and the changes that were made to give it this realistic feel....

Although the it finally got the axe back in 2015, Community has remained a beloved pop-culture fixation that was both a brilliant comedy and a convergence of a great many talented performers and writers. The show spawned quite a few iconic moments and catchy one-liners, one of the most famous being “six seasons and a movie,” an in-universe meta joke, and eventually a real life rallying cry for fans of the show....

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch was surprising but not in the way many would have expected. While it did surpass the company’s sales expectations, there are some areas where Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t meet fans’ expectations. While CDPR, as a company, has certainly come a long way since The Witcher 3 was released, there are a lot of issues to be acknowledged from the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. The Witcher 3 is considered one of the most critically acclaimed titles of the PS4 and Xbox One generation....

A couple of weeks ago, a Spanish retailer leaked the existence of a Nintendo Switch version of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, but thanks to the latest Nintendo Direct, we now have an official announcement. Remastered versions of the first three Crash Bandicoot games will make their way to the Nintendo Switch on July 10. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy on Nintendo Switch sounds like it will basically be the same experience as the PS4 version, but with the added benefit of portability....

When Crysis was first released, it quickly claimed a legacy for its graphical prowess. With Crysis 3, developer Crytek is looking to keep that legacy, as they’ve revealed some rather demanding PC specs. To start things off, minimum requirements for the game include a 1GB GPU. To put that into perspective, most new releases usually only require 1GB of VRAM for “recommended” setting. Users will also need at least a dual core CPU and 2GB of memory (3GB if you’re a Vista user)....

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive remains one of the most-played FPS titles on the market. Continuing to flourish as a best-seller on Steam, the game’s community workshop also continues to burn with creativity - whether it be fan-made skins or maps. However, one recently created map shows impressive ingenuity. Constructed by OrelStealth, the creator’s “Aim Rogue Inferno” custom map is a doozy for veteran players to enjoy. Its ingenious quality is the fact that it is a procedurally generated map opening up “tens of millions” of variations, as stated by the creator....

All these incredible images were made by an artificial intelligence called Dall-e 2 This AI is impressively turning words into images Girl with a Pearl Earring Here the outpainting feature has been used to transform Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring into an image with a much wider canvas. DALLE-E outpainting in action A Friend in Need Paramount Pictures logo The outpainting feature can be used on all sorts of things it seems and isn’t just for expanding the sides of a landscape painting....

Dauntless introduced its Easter event, entitled Springtide, and it mixes things up a bit. Rather than having players embark on a monster hunt, they are embarking on an egg hunt, and actually protecting a very cute kind of monster called a pufflehop from attack. Though many were uncertain as to what the run time of Dauntless’ Easter event would be, its official end date has been revealed as April 23rd, meaning fans of the game still have over a week to experience the new game mode and reap its seasonal themed rewards for themselves....

There are dozens of zombie video game franchises out there, but the Dead Rising games made a huge impression upon their original releases. That said, the series has definitely lost steam over the years and Dead Rising 4 may end up being the final entry in the franchise. Even though the games have taken plenty of missteps, they’ve still delivered some extremely satisfying methods to massacre zombies. The weapons that are featured throughout the Dead Rising games are some of the best things about the titles and they push the games’ crazier tendencies to their limits....

Although Death Stranding has been public knowledge for quite a while, the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive still remains as enigmatic as ever, especially after the release of the latest trailer at The Game Awards 2017. Despite this, the project’s creator, Hideo Kojima, has teased plans to announce something next year that will surprise fans, which indicates the possibility of the director revealing a 2018 release date for the game. As seen in the tweet below from the Twitter user “bk2128”, Hideo Kojima took part in a “Creator Interviews” feature in a recent issue of the Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki PlayStation, where the director first talked about how Sony Interactive Entertainment told him the company had “never seen people working on a fast pace like this....

Deathloop is the latest upcoming game from Arkane Studios, the creators of Dishonored. At first glance, the new title resembles Dishonored and its sequel in many ways, from its first-person perspective to its combination of special powers and traditional weapons, and even elements of its art style. However, Deathloop will have a multiplayer aspect, the details of which have yet to be revealed. Here’s everything known about Deathloop’s multiplayer gameplay so far, and some of the biggest questions Arkane needs to answer about the game’s multiplayer experience....
