Last November, Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding was released to the PS4 and received mixed reviews. Although many believed that Death Stranding would be a PS4 exclusive, it has been revealed that the game will be coming to the PC after all. Initially, Death Stranding’s PC port was supposed to release in June this year, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the game has been slightly delayed and will now launch on July 14th....
When players first arrive at the Nexus in Demon’s Souls, they’ll have only one way forward. They must enter the Gates of Boletaria and progress far enough to defeat the Phalanx. After accomplishing this, however, the rest of the world opens up and players are able to choose how they want to go through it. More likely than not, the first instinct of most players is to progress logically, completing all the areas in the first world that are available before moving on to the second, but it may be in the best interest of players to skip around a bit depending on their build....
Over a month after the game’s release, and it’s safe to say Destiny 2 fans are hungry for new content. While Bungie has supported the game with special events, we now know when its first substantial expansion pack will launch. On December 5th, Destiny 2 fans will be able to download the Curse of Osiris expansion. Available as a standalone download or as part of the expansion pass, Curse of Osiris received its first trailer during Sony’s Paris Games Week press conference....
Destiny 2’s Season 7 has introduced what may be the game’s most satisfying gear grind yet in the Menagerie, a 6-player matchmade PvE mode. Add the fact that players have discovered how to loot the activity’s final chest multiple times on one run, which is an exploit that remains unpatched by developer Bungie, and there is a very real chance that players can get the exact roll they want on each weapon they are chasing....
As fans already know, it was a big week for Bungie as they revealed the newest expansion for Destiny 2 called Shadowkeep, the direction the franchise will be going, moving to Steam on PC, as well as a new free-to-play package called New Light.

Following some rather disappointed remarks from Activision regarding Destiny 2’s sales performance, one Bungie staff member is standing up to defend the Forsaken expansion. Game Director Luke Smith took to Twitter today to come to the defense of the recent expansion, saying that the members of the development team love the expansion and are not disappointed with the content they produced. This Tweet comes just days after Activision announced that Destiny 2 was not meeting its sales expectations, specifically in regard to player core engagement....
So far, Season of Arrivals appears to be the shot in the arm that Destiny 2 needed as it came off of the disappointing Season of the Worthy. Already, players have discovered two truly unique and powerful exotic weapons, saw the arrival of the Darkness, and a story line which attempts to explain the removal of a number of destinations when the fall expansion arrives. Even with all this goodwill, there have been a few missteps including the discovery of a bug that has forced Bungie to quickly intervene....
On Tuesday, the Destiny 2 Warmind Twitch reveal stream revealed a lot about what gamers can expect from Destiny 2’s latest expansion. The stream (and following promotional material) revealed the name of the new raid lair, how quest tracking will be improved, Crucible ranking details, and new exotics, amongst other things. Not everything was outright revealed by Bungie, though, with a few details being uncovered by players digging through new footage....
With the new week of Destiny 2 content finally here, Lord Saladin’s first round of Iron Banner for season 3 has come to a close. While the updated PvP mode and reward system seems to have been a hit with the community, solo players quickly found out that the matchmaking system wasn’t quite working as expected. The Fireteam matchmaking update continued to pit solo players against coordinated teams, typically resulting in lopsided defeats for solo players....

Capcom reveals its quarterly financial results, and blames its dipping sales and profits on the lack of major video game releases from the company this past year. For the financial quarter beginning April 1st and ending June 30th, Capcom didn’t do so hot, reporting a decline in both sales and profits. Its total sales were $104 million, down 24% compared to the same time last year, and its profits were down as well, forcing Capcom to take a $6....
Okami HD is coming to Nintendo Switch with a Limited Edition. Fans and first time players of the game will no doubt appreciate the furry Switch carrying case in the likeness of adorable dog goddess Amaterasu as well as other goodies. What they won’t appreciate is the price tag. Even worse, the item appears to be Japan exclusive. A post on the Nintendo subreddit links to Capcom’s Japanese store where pre-orders for the bundle are already up....
About a month ago, the Game Critics Awards went on to dub Capcom’s forthcoming remake of the 1998 survival horror classic Resident Evil 2 the Best of Show for E3 2018 after the company officially unveiled the title to the public. While a plethora of attendees and those at home were eagerly anticipating this reveal, it seems as if Capcom was initially nervous about the fans’ reaction to what direction it was taking the project....
When we talk about mastery in gaming, we are talking about something very specific. What we mean when we talk about mastery is extremely high skill at gameplay. In a very real way, this type of mastery resembles mastery of a craft more than strictly critical or academic usages of the word. The game that first taught me this lesson, more than any other, was Captain Skyhawk for the Nintendo Entertainment System....
“I will lend this monkey my monocle,” says Tom Hardy, in a brightly cushioned nook. He’s flanked by a tutu-wearing elephant, an oversized chimp, and a badger named Jeff. On his lap is a blissfully snoozing Labrador-cross. He’s telling a story to the nation’s children, and—there’s no getting away from it—to some very happy mums. In December 2016, that five-minute clip changed the course of CBeebies’ long-running Bedtime Stories segment, which is now flooded by Hollywood publicists asking for their clients to appear....
With the hype and excitement surrounding the impending release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it’s almost impossible to believe that following the success of The Witcher 2, it wasn’t a third installment in the series next teased by developer CD Projekt Red. With the studio’s knack for medieval fantasy beyond question, it seemed science fiction would be their next challenge with the mysterious Cyberpunk 2077. And from the first showing, fans of the genre had their curiosity piqued - thanks in large part to an unforgettable slow-motion teaser trailer hinting at several of the themes and plot elements of the futuristic RPG....
It may not be as prolific as other Capcom franchises, like Resident Evil and Street Fighter, but it’s good to know that the publisher hasn’t completely forgotten Okami. Its free-to-play card game for mobile, Teppen, received new content based on Okami last month and now fans can pre-order a bunch of new merchandise being made for the game’s 14th anniversary, provided they live in Japan. Specifically, nine pieces of Okami merchandise have been added to the E-Capcom website....
This article contains Cobra Kai spoilers Cobra Kai has mastered the season finale cliffhanger just like Daniel-san mastered ‘wax on, wax off.’ It started with its first season finale. That ended with the startling appearance of Sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove), which took the series to a whole new level. The season 2 finale literally tossed us off that cliff with Miguel’s (Xolo Maridueña) spine-breaking fall. And in the finale of season 3, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) are forced to unite for the ultimate showdown against Cobra Kai in the arena that started it all, the All Valley Karate Tournament....
Combat is one of the core aspects of gameplay in The Witcher 3. After all, Geralt is a Witcher, a no-nonsense monster hunter. The game does a great job of giving depth and complexity to combat, but over time players become grossly overpowered and even the toughest fights become more manageable. To combat this, players have created a variety of combat mods that tweak various aspects of gameplay. Everything from making potion toxicity a viable threat to improving the AI of enemies....
Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake play host to the two biggest video game cities of 2020: Night City and Midgar respectively. These fictional metropolises each have their own unique charms and horrors, but Cyberpunk and Final Fantasy 7 draw on a similar, complex pedigree of influences that are intrinsic to their common ethos. Both Cyberpunk and Remake begin on a similar note and share a certain rebellious anti-corporate sentiment....
