As one of 2020’s most anticipated titles, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to impress fans and seems set to be a massive release. The latest Night City Wire event showed off even more impressive gameplay with the three different lifepaths players can take and even how they influence the flow of the game. In addition to more scenes of Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand, players also saw more combat and the various weapons that are available to use....

Dungeons & Dragons is a Role-Playing Game that has been around since the 1970s. Starting as a wargame, it began to change little by little until it was something else entirely. The game even moved away so much from its roots that entire sessions could be completely played without miniatures. No board was needed, only the players’ imagination and sets of weird dice. The popular game kept changing and becoming more interesting....

When we think of Pokémon we tend to think of the adventures of Ash and Pikachu as they try hard to complete every quest on their long journey to becoming the best Pokémon trainer and the strongest Pokémon respectively. We think of Brock and Misty and all of Ash’s other friends, and, of course, we think of Team Rocket and their antics to steal all of Ash’s Pokémon, especially Pikachu. Even though this tends to be the case there is a lot of the Pokémon universe that goes unexplored, and there are a lot of things that are not questioned and things that would seem pretty dark on the surface tend to be overlooked because of everything that is going on at the time....

The PC port of Death Stranding has been delayed by a month, due to the COVID-19 crisis and Japan’s state of national emergency. Death Stranding is one of the strangest games on the PlayStation 4, yet it won a number of awards and received mostly positive reviews. The game only has timed exclusivity for PlayStation 4 and the existence of a PC port was leaked throughout the game’s development. The PC version of Death Stranding is set to launch with exclusive content, including a hat based on the headcrabs from the Half-Life series....

The PS5 is ready to give players an enhanced experience like no other, with pin-sharp 4K resolution and the interactive Haptic feedback. PS5 launch title Demon’s Souls will also allow players to choose between playing in 4K or at a higher frame rate, tailoring your gaming experience to a tee. Included within the Demon’s Souls page on the PlayStation website is a feature description that highlights the ability to choose visual quality over smooth gameplay, and vice versa....

The Destiny games have been a powerhouse in the MMO world for a few years now. This unique world of Sci-Fi and Fantasy has gathered a large fanbase that can’t get enough of what the world has to offer. Of course, there are always players who have some issues with the game that range from valid criticisms to petty nitpicking. Then there are the opinions that may or may not be valid but are considered unpopular by the general fanbase....

It’s no secret that obtaining the best gear and defeating the biggest, baddest bosses in any MMO requires spending a lot of time in-game. Destiny doesn’t require quite as much grinding to reach max level as something like World of Warcraft or Star Wars: The Old Republic, but the first-person MMO does still require dedication and time commitment (read: grinding) from players who want to achieve greatness. As some PS4 users are learning today, logging in to do daily quests and hunt down gear upgrades is pretty tough when the game’s servers are experiencing problems…...

Beyond Light is less than a month away, and we already can’t wait to get our hands on some new Exotic tech and explore the frozen wastes of Europa. Some of us are also very much looking forward to all the new technological features that have been promised with Beyond Light’s release on next-gen consoles, such as 4K graphics and faster loading times. For those early adopters looking to experience Destiny 2 on new hardware, Bungie has some bad news....

As promised, Bungie has made sure that the raid challenges for Destiny 2’s Last Wish raid are now cycling as they are supposed to. This week, the Vault saw its ‘Keep Out’ challenge activated and fireteams are once again tasked with completing the raid encounter under unique circumstances. To complete the Vault raid challenge, the fireteam needs to ensure that no Knight of Riven makes its way to the center vault area....

The Lumina exotic hand cannon is one of the most unique weapons in Destiny 2. It looks amazing, and can be used in both PVP and PVE. To obtain the weapon, players will need to find and complete the Weapon Of Hope quest. The quest can be found in the same location as the Thorn questline. Before beginning the questline, Guardians need to be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours on the objectives....

This week in Destiny 2, Lord Saladin has returned with the Iron Banner. In addition to double Valor for the next week, players who have not yet completed the seasonal quest have another opportunity to do so. Unfortunately, for those who have finished, there’s really nothing new to pursue. However, most people may be more excited for what’s coming next week. Starting at reset next week, the annual Solstice of Heroes event finally arrives....

Weapon balancing is a vital part of any MMO. It’s what separates the successful titles from the short-lived games that just couldn’t find that special equation to keep the player base coming back for more. This is especially true for Bungie’s MMO Looter-Shooter, Destiny 2. There are several weapon types and archetypes that need consistent fine-tuning for both PvE and PvP activities. Throughout the game’s existence, Bungie has revealed dozens of sandbox tuning adjustments and weapon changes that directly affect the player’s ability in-game....

It’s done. One Destiny 2 player has achieved the highest rank in the game’s new competitive crucible ranking system, appropriately titled Legend. Content Creator One Second Kill is the first known player to hit the rank of Legend in the competitive ranking system, the highest tier for that particular playlist. It took him just over one week from the launch of Warmind to hit the milestone, an impressive feat. For those that might not be familiar, Destiny 2 added a new ranking system to the Crucible for both the Competitive and Casual Playlists....

So remember last week when some Steam Achievement updates spoiled us for Civilization 6’s last new civ? Well, we just got the confirmation in the latest development update video that Portugal will be the last to arrive as part of the New Frontier Pass. Oh, and zombies will also eat your brains as a new game mode. Firaxis folks confirmed the deets on Portugal as a new naval-focused civilization that emphasizes maritime trade and combat....

After a 3-0 series sweep of Evil Geniuses Academy in the Spring Split finals, Cloud9 have captured their second League of Legends Academy championship in just two years. Top laner Ibrahim “Fudge” Allam was voted Player of the Series. Cloud9 Academy, much like their pro team, have been dominant all Spring. The team finished the season with a 14-4 record, ending the split on a whopping twelve-game win streak. Carrying that momentum into the playoffs, Cloud9 Academy took down TSM Academy in the semi-finals, before their sweep of Evil Geniuses Academy for the championship....

The following contains spoilers for Cobra Kai season 3. When Tory Nichols (Peyton List) first appeared in Cobra Kai, she was the best red herring ever. She introduced herself in season 2 episode 4 “The Moment of Truth” as “Tory… with a ‘Y’” and every fan of the original film went ballistic. In The Karate Kid, Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) introduced herself to Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) as “Ali… with an ‘I’” so we all wondered if Tory might be Ali’s daughter....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is halfway through its first season, which means it’s time for a content update. Luckily for us, Treyarch let us know everything that will be coming in the update – and one of them is a sword. Activision’s yearly entry into the Call of Duty universe has taken us into the middle of the 1980s toward the end of the Cold War period. There have been plenty of puzzles and ciphers to solve on our way to uncovering what the game has in store for everyone....

We have finally entered season 10 in COD Mobile, and there are a ton of new changes to the game. While many are easy to notice, like maps and modes, there are many changes listed in the patch notes hardcore players will want to pay attention to. COD Mobile season 10, titled The Hunt, has been out for a few days now. Players have been enjoying the new modes and maps introduced to the game, but there are a lot more improvements and changes going on under the hood of this update....

Perhaps you’ve heard but a beloved American sitcom that just happened to go six seasons is now getting a cheeky little movie. That’s right: Sony Pictures TV and Peacock jointly announced the confirmation of a Community movie today, fulfilling the show’s decades long “six seasons and a movie” promise. This is something that fans have been waiting for ever since Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) uttered the now-prophetic line in season 2’s “Paradigms of Human Memory....

Most video games can be beaten with brute force. You just need to git gud, and gitting gud means doing it over and over again while getting progressively less bad at it. People are usually talking about Soulslikes when they say git gud, but I’ve always thought it applies more to platformers. They rely on the mechanics of muscle memory, especially the linear ones like Crash Bandicoot. You need to know what you’re about to do three moves before you do it, and before long, it’s like a song that gets stuck in your head....
