The recent Demon’s Souls remake has received tons of press, especially since there’s a devoted horde of fans of the cult classic who’s been waiting to get their hands on it. In addition, there are huge groups of Souls series fans who have been too intimidated by this entry to attempt it. That being said, there are definitely a few major changes that have happened, and as such, some weapons might not quite rank where they did in the original version of the game....

For fans of Destiny, the long wait for The Taken King expansion is nearly over. The massive 2.0 update is out and available to download in preparation of the expansion, which is set to kick off the second year of the popular shooter/MMO in a big way. Last year, Bungie and Activision got Destiny fans sufficiently hyped for the original game thanks to a variety of pre-release trailers and gameplay footage, and they’ve been doing a good job so far of building hype for the game’s second year of content....

Following on last week’s introduction of exotic upgrades, excitement for Xur has returned. He may had a repeat rocket launcher in Truth, but this was the new, higher attack power version. And the same was true of his armor options, which included one DLC piece for Titans, and higher defense power items for the other two classes. This week, Xur can be found right across from The Speaker, in front of the giant door-looking structure....

During a quarterly earnings call Destiny’s publisher, Activision, made a vague statement about a free Destiny content update hitting Quarter 2 of this year. That sent fans into a frenzy, theorizing that more DLC was coming Destiny’s way, perhaps to lead into Destiny 2 launching this fall. However, Activision later clarified that the statement was referencing Age of Triumph, which came out this past March. It was an honest mistake, but the news exploded on Twitter, YouTube, and some news outlets before Activision was able to tweet out the correction:...

Since earning World’s First in the Prestige Leviathan Raid, Destiny 2 clan Redeem has been on a tear, completing any and every challenge that they can. Just recently, two members of the clan were able to beat Calus in a single damage phase and now three members are back to accomplish something even more impressive. Their latest Destiny 2 feat involves beating the Leviathan’s Gauntlet encounter while also completing this week’s challenge....

This week is a big one for Destiny 2 players that are chasing the Wayfarer Title, as it was only the second week since the launch of Forsaken to feature Strange Terrain as a Nightfall Strike option. That means any who were waiting to collect the Braytech Osprey rocket launcher finally have their chance. The Braytech is so sought after because it is one of the requirements for completing the Wayfarer Title....

Destiny 2, much like its predecessor, is vast and can be hard to dive into. The two games combined have enjoyed numerous expansions and accumulated an immense amount of lore. That said, Bungie is very careful about the amount of information it discloses in storytelling. As so, Destiny continues to have an aura of mystery and ambiguity even for the veteran fans. Certain simple tidbits like where on Earth the Last City is located might still be unknown to some....

With the current season quickly coming to a close in Destiny 2, players find themselves with less than two weeks to finish up all activities left on their checklist before they disappear with the start of Season of the Drifter. Information on what season 6 is bringing to the table is finally starting to arrive thanks to a this week’s blog posts highlighting many of the much-needed changes and quality of life updates coming to Gambit....

A number of Destiny 2 players are upset with how Eververse works in the game, and they’re taking their fight to the official Destiny 2 forums, flooding it with post after post calling for Eververse to be removed completely from the game. As of this writing, it takes more than 20 pages of forums to start getting to posts other than those raging against Eververse. While it an be argued that it’s not the most effective and constructive way to stage one’s complaints, it’s hard to miss the anger and frustration players are feeling with microtransactions in Destiny 2....

While most Destiny players are looking forward to Destiny 2 for its new story content, new planets, new crucible modes, new gear, and new raid, some have their sights on the little changes. Bungie has had three years’ worth of experience to learn what does and doesn’t work for its game, and Destiny 2 is an opportunity to make everything more accessible. One of the ways that Destiny 2 will streamline the process for players is through the progression system....

Destiny 2 will be in players’ hands two days sooner, as the game was just given a new release date. Now Destiny 2 will launch on Wednesday, September 6 instead of Friday, September 8. The date was first revealed at the Sony E3 Media Briefing at the end of a new Destiny 2 trailer, and it left fans scratching their heads. The trailer showed off a number of PlayStation exclusives for the game, which left many wondering if PS4 was getting an early release of the game....

Prolific tag team Epicookiez and Slayerage, known for dismantling raid content and assorted challenges with only two players in Bungie’s science fiction shooter series, are back making gains in Destiny 2. The team’s first major accomplishment in the sequel has been achieved, which is a two-player completion of the Leviathan raid’s notorious Pleasure Gardens. Originally live-streamed, the encounter has since been published in video form for all to enjoy. Epicookies has branded the video below “2-man Raid Doggos,” and it may be one of the duo’s most impressive accomplishments yet, literally taking the encounter to the last second and beyond....

Even though E3 2018 is just a few days away from officially starting, Bungie is kicking things off a little early with a livestream reveal of its next expansion for Destiny 2. While there’s still plenty fans don’t know, Bungie has continued to tease the content and revealing that players will be meeting up in The Reef once again. A short teaser clip showed the player and Cayde-6 warping into the Awoken base, and finishing by revealing the expansion name to be Forsaken....

Destiny’s High-Caliber Round perk has more to it than meets the eye, being highly effective on some weapons while being practically useless on others. If there’s one weapon perk in Destiny that has become extremely popular it’s High-Caliber Rounds. The perk has been around for a while, but it was only with the release of the Clever Dragon pulse rifle during Iron Banner in November that players started to really take notice....

While the September Soiree may have hit the pause button, the Apex Legends Summer Circuit is still full steam ahead. The competitive events that started with the Summer Circuit back in June are coming to a close, and the best players will be decided.

Just this week CBS announced their intentions to diversify their casting on all unscripted TV shows produced by their network. Starting with the 2021-2022 broadcast season, the network wants at least 50% of all their cast in unscripted shows to be Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Additionally, they will be allocating 25% of their unscripted TV budget for projects created or co-created by BIPOC producers. George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS Entertainment Group discussed the need for greater diversity in unscripted TV: “The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling....

In a move that can only be described as top-tier trolling, CDPR has delayed Cyberpunk 2077 for three more weeks just to mess with one dude on Twitter. Ever since it was first announced in May 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of the most highly anticipated games of the entire generation. The follow-up to CDPR’s beloved The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person, open-world RPG that has every indication of being well worth the wait....

Which will you choose: Nomad, Street Kid, or Corpo? Come this November, it won’t be the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X racking gamers’ minds, it will be the trio of lifepaths that start out the player’s Cyberpunk 2077 experience. A recent poll recorded by the official Cyberpunk Twitter proves just how close these three selections are, with Street Kid coming out victorious by only a very slight margin. Still, the question remains: what will your background be in the dark future?...

Kirby fans will be excited to know Lovisia has released a whole new cosmetic line featuring Kirby, and it’s full of charm. The makeup line will include lipstick, a rubber mirror, and eye shadow. Anyone bouncing around Japan’s streets can find these products at any Lawson store and convenience. However, the eye shadows are exclusive to Kirby Cafes, ITS’DEMO, and Village Vanguard shops so don’t go looking for those in corner stores....
