Few games are as hard to get into as complex MMOs. While Destiny 2 might not be an MMO in the traditional sense, it comes with the same barrage of mechanics and activities as those games do. And just like most MMOs, Destiny 2 is intimidating to get into. Thankfully, there are plenty of guides and community groups out there that make this beast of a game much easier to understand....
Friday’s are once again meaningful to Destiny 2 players ever since Bungie updated Xur’s inventory alongside the start of Season of the Drifter. Part of the appeal was the addition of Forsaken exotics to Xur’s usual stockpile of year 1 exotics with a rotating selection of perks. However, this season also kicked off a weekly questline called Invitations of the Nine, giving players a chance to learn more about Xur’s mysterious group called the Nine....

The past few days have been an exciting one for Destiny 2: Forsaken players, as Bungie launched the newest raid called Last Wish, which not only proved to be massively challenging, but once it was defeated after 19 hours by Clan Redeem, it essentially changed the landscape for everyone. After unlocking a new cutscene, a curse descended on The Dreaming City that players are still discovering to this day. So far, players have discovered a new campaign mission for Petra as well as a brand new strike called the Corrupted and the Cathedral of Stars map for Gambit players....
While Destiny 2 has a major piece of DLC coming in its first expansion, Curse of Osiris, which will almost surely add more to the game’s PvP experience, Season 2 will also add one map into the mix for free.

First, Shiro-4 has a rotating inventory of Iron Banner items that were available in Destiny’s first two years.

Godfall is a PS5 launch title that will see you hacking and slashing your way through the world of Aperion. The world has dozens of beautiful environments that you’ll fight through, with plenty of detail to admire—after you’ve done some “repainting,” that is. The reveal trailer is in 4K and runs at 60fps, but one Japanese reporter claims to have run Godfall at a native 4K resolution with 120 fps. The developers were quick to point out that claims like that are “not correct....

The true test for Cobra Kai then would be how it fared as a true Netflix exclusive once its third season launched on New Year’s day, right after the company decided to move forward its premiere by a week just for kicks....
This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. Coming 2 America came out in a very different era from the original 1988 movie. Clearly. In some ways that’s a good thing, with the belated comedy sequel gently critiquing the sexism in some of the earlier Eddie Murphy movie’s humor, such as the use of attractive female “bathers” in the fairy tale land of Zamunda—wherein they must “clean” their patriarchal princes and kings every morning....

Within a few hours of loading up Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll be able to spot a few easter eggs for both Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The nods are easy to miss – unless you’re in the odd habit of reading every tattoo you come across. Both easter eggs are in the form of lyrics tattooed across Judy Alvarez’s arms. The easiest one to spot is for Red Hot Chili Peppers – it’s boldly printed across her right forearm....
Taking up residence in the Heywood district, the Valentinos are one of the largest and ever-enduring gangs in Night City.

Righteousness and camaraderie are key pillars of the gang’s moral code, and betraying that trust of the Valentinos is usually remedied “with deadly seriousness....
Gritty turn-based RPG Darkest Dungeon has more than enough challenges to keep you busy. Diving headfirst into the strange world of Darkest Dungeon without even a fundamental understanding of how the game’s party system works is a bit of a risk since the Dungeons are unforgiving. Although there is such a thing as a reliable starter party, the roster of your heroes will depend on two things: the upgrade level of your Stagecoach and the type of Dungeon you’re entering....
