Many fans consider Dungeons and Dragons the ultimate role-playing experience. With its extensive lore, thousands of character builds, and giant community, no game will be identical to another. The options of races, classes, and moral alignments ensure that. But 5e, the current edition, has attracted new players thanks to its more malleable nature. The 4th edition was more rigid while the 5th edition lets campaigns be a bit more fast and loose....
Rings are more than mere accessories in Dark Souls 3. They offer crucial stat boosts, abilities, and features that will enhance a player’s build, and they’re sometimes even borderline being mandatory for certain playstyles and techniques. Also, just like all real treasures, they can be difficult to find. A few can be acquired with specific starting classes or found while exploring as the Chosen Undead makes their way through the game....
Many gamers associate Dark Souls with difficulty. While this series of games is certainly harder than most third-person titles, From Software has done a great job making this series feel fair to the player. Skill matters much more than gear in these games, although upgraded gear certainly makes a difference. Estus Flasks are a great example of this. While skilled players will rarely use them, newer players will want to upgrade these as soon as possible....

This Demon Slayer review contains no spoilers. There are a lot of anime about the slaying of demons. Almost too many, in fact. If someone was supposed to make an anime, but then forgot and had to quickly rush something together at the last minute, they’d make it about demon slaying. At this point it’s a little exhausting whenever a new demon-slaying anime gets announced, but it’s for this very reason that the series that work are especially effective....

Although Bungie likes to head into their Destiny livestream reveals under the guise that everything is unscripted, the developer always has a plan. They know exactly what they want to show players, what they want to tease, and what they want to outright avoid. For example, many may have thought that Bungie was purposefully avoiding talk of increased vault space in Destiny: The Taken King, but they clearly wanted to save that reveal for last....

This, along with a plethora of weapon rebalancing tweaks, is aimed at improving the Crucible in Destiny 2. Bungie said in its weekly blog that the two major points of fan feedback developers are trying to address in this Destiny 2 update are (1) the game’s slower time to kill and (2) its focus on “team shotting....
After an unfortunate delay, Bungie finally released the Beyond Light expansions this week for it’s popular looter-shooter title, Destiny 2. Even though four major destinations were removed from the game, players can once again return to the Cosmodrome with an all new NPC called Shaw Han. However, for many players, the big draw is exploring the ice moon Europa and discovering a host of new secrets and unlocking the Stasis subclass....

Destiny 2’s Nightfall Strikes are an tweaked version of the game’s standard Strikes, designed to be much harder. Nightfalls include modifiers that can completely change the way that players get through the activity and put players’ skills to the test. Unfortunately, The Arms Dealer, which is the first of the Nightfall Strikes to be offered in the game, is broken. Many Destiny 2 players have taken to social media to complain that the Nightfall’s Prism modifier, which deals increased damage when players use the corresponding damage type, wasn’t clear enough....

This is the last chance to finish up any outstanding quests, pick up Guardian Games themed items at the Eververse store, as well as unlock remaining triumphs....
Destiny’s next live event, Age of Triumph, will bring a change to the game’s weekly Nightfall Strikes. While exactly what that change is remains unknown for a little while longer, Destiny’s developer, Bungie, continues to tease that Age of Triumph will bring more “mayhem” to Nightfalls. Talking to Gamesradar, Bungie’s community manager, DeeJ, said there would be some “subtle things to change up” Nightfalls. The official reveal of that change will come this coming Wednesday, March 15 on another Twitch stream....
Capcom promises to release three ‘major titles’ by the end of the year, with many speculating that Resident Evil 7 could be one of the mysterious games. This week, Capcom has had lots to say about its finances, with the company revealing that, during the 12 months between April 2015 and March 2016, its net sales were $714 million – largely due to its digital re-releases and its DLC sales. Overall, net sales were up by 20% over the previous year, which is especially impressive as one of the company’s most highly anticipated games, Street Fighter 5, massively missed its sales target....
This contains spoilers for the season finale of Quibi’s Don’t Look Deeper. Content warning for discussion of violence against Black bodies. As director Catherine Hardwicke told Den of Geek in a recent interview, Quibi’s science fiction thriller series Don’t Look Deeper is a coming-of-age story “on steroids”—that is, it takes the existential questions about identity and power seen in other teenage stories and filters those questions through the metaphor of protagonist Aisha (Helena Howard) discovering that she is a robot....
This Clarice review contains spoilers. Clarice Episode 13 Clarice, episode 13, “Family is Freedom,” only closes some of the cliffhangers “Father Time” ended on. We still don’t know whether Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) will be reinstated into the ViCAP team, and we never find out what happened to young Clarice when her Sheriff father left her at the mercy of some pissed off criminals. The last image we saw of that encounter, when Clarice ran it through her repressed memory bank, was a young Clarice with a gun held to her head as her father hangs his head in shame in the distance....
For years, Visceral Games had been working on a single player Star Wars game until the studio was unceremoniously shut down a few days ago. Over the years, we’ve learned very little about Visceral’s Star Wars project, but in the wake of the studio’s demise and the game’s reassignment to EA Vancouver, some details about it have come to light. Todd Stashwick, who was co-writing the game with Uncharted series writer Amy Hennig, recently took to Twitter to speak about Visceral’s version of the Star Wars game....
