Destiny 2 Is Hiding An Exotic Ghost Shell

Destiny 2 appears to be holding back an exotic Ghost shell along with how to obtain this item. The Ghost shell in question looks like Sagira, the Ghost belonging to titular character Osiris from the new DLC. Those who have played the short campaign in Destiny 2’s Curse of Osiris expansion will be familiar with Sagira.

Cd Projekt Red Hit By Cyber Attack Hackers Ransoming Cyberpunk 2077 Unreleased Version Of Witcher 3

There is no denying that the release of Cyberpunk 2077 was rather disastrous, especially for CD Projekt Red. The game is not without its defenders, but its horrendously poor performance when it initially launched, especially on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, combined with myriad other issues and reports into the studio itself saw what was once one of the most anticipated games of 2020 into an easy source of mockery and anger....

Civilization 6 Leader And Civilization Breakdown Alexander To Gitarja

The biggest decision a player can make in Civilization 6 is which leader to pick at the start of a game. Choosing a leader is essentially determining how the player will approach every element of the upcoming match, from setting a first city to micromanaging districts and units. Leaders in Civilization 6 all have unique abilities, as well as abilities tied to their Civilization. This distinction needs to be made as there are a few Civilizations who have multiple leaders, and while those leaders have different unique abilities, their Civilization Ability is the same....

Colin Farrell S Penguin Makeup Is So Good It Fooled His Batman Co Star

Warner Bros. Pictures released the first official trailer for Matt Reeves’ The Batman at DC FanDome. The preview gave fans their first official look at Colin Farrell, nearly unrecognizable as Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. the Penguin. Fans weren’t the only ones who didn’t clock Farrell as the classic DC Comics villain at first; his co-star Jeffrey Wright admitted that he was among those who were fooled. Earlier this year, set photos of Colin Farrell caused fans to believe that his incarnation of the Penguin in The Batman would have a different appearance than his shorter, bird-nosed comic book counterpart....

Comparing Assassin S Creed Odyssey S Siblings To Ac Syndicate S Frye Twins

In the Assassin’s Creed franchise, it was typically unlikely that players encountered protagonists with siblings that play crucial roles in the events of the game. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate changed this, though, with the introduction of Jacob and Evie Frye. The twins are dual protagonists throughout the game, though their screen time amounts have been questioned by fans. Evie and Jacob pretty much embody the idea of a sibling partnership, and work together more often than not....

Curse Of The Dead Gods All Of The Throwing Weapons Ranked

If melee combat isn’t your strong suit in Curse of the Dead Gods, you are not alone. The game is one of the most challenging roguelike games to hit the scene in a long time. With perfect timing required on dodges and parries and attacks getting a very narrow window to land, it’s totally fair to give up on melee combat altogether and do something that keeps your health safe for a long plunge into the dungeon....

Cyberpunk 2077 S Mr Blue Eyes Leaves Big Implications For Dlc

Mr. Blue Eyes is an elusive character in Cyberpunk 2077 that many players may have missed, but he could possibly become a major player when the DLC arrives later this year. Likely involved in the most recent Corporate War, Mr. Blue Eyes is one of Night City’s most powerful people. He is seemingly pulling the strings of Militech and other powerful people, but could also be harboring the identity of an old Cyberpunk character, Morgan Blackhand....

Dead Space Dev Was Working On A Jack The Ripper Game

Visceral Games was responsible for some major hits during its time, but the studio was also behind some games that gamers never got to play. One such title from the Dead Space developer that would have allowed players to step into the shoes of Jack the Ripper was cancelled many years ago, but the game’s background and development process are just now coming to light. The Ripper would have attempted to portray Jack the Ripper, the notorious serial killer of 1888 in London as a sympathetic character, but also suitably unbalanced vengeance killer....

Deep Rock Galactic Is The Best Aliens Game Ever Made

That’s Aliens, plural. You know, James Cameron’s action-heavy follow-up to Ridley Scott’s pant-wetting horror. We all know Alien: Isolation nailed Alien. That one is a wrap, but we’ve never had a good Aliens game. Deep Rock Galactic is a whimsical co-op action title where a team of space dwarves burrow into various planets to mine the rare materials hidden underground - all while beating back waves of chitinous enemies. The famous tagline for Alien might be: “In space, no one can hear you scream”....

Destiny 2 10 Pro Tips For The Charged With Light Mechanic

Guardians who want to add a new layer of complexity to their Destiny 2 games can rely on the Season of Dawn’s Charged with Light mechanic. As such, thanks to this new “resource,” Guardians of Bungie’s hit MMO can imbue themselves with new abilities and skills they can use to dominate the battlefield. Moreover, this mechanic may very well outclass mods and Perks in terms of character customization. Unfortunately, there’s no “in-depth” guide in Destiny 2 that thoroughly explains this gameplay option....

Destiny 2 Be Careful Linking Bungie And Blizzard Accounts

Destiny players are being warned about linking their Bungie accounts with their Blizzard accounts, as some are reporting the loss of years old accounts. While the goal is supposed to be preparing a Bungie account for the inevitable jump to PC with Destiny 2, some are finding that the process doesn’t work as expected. This week Blizzard launched the ability to link a Bungie.net account with a Battlenet account in preparation for Destiny 2’s release on PC in October....

But that’s not the only thing that the developer may be working on; Bungie has now begun to tease brand new exotics as well.

Destiny 2 Raid Encounter Beat Using Impossible Player Count

At this point it seems as though the Last Wish raid in Destiny 2: Forsaken has been well and truly conquered. From 22-minute speed runs to solo, 2-man, and 3-man boss encounters, there isn’t much more to achieve in the raid that isn’t impossible. Or at least was initially thought impossible. Of all the Last Wish raid encounters, most figured that the Queen’s Walk, in which the team takes Riven’s heart out of her body and to the Techeuns for cleansing, needed a minimum player count of about 4 or 5 people....

Destiny 2 Removes Breakthrough Mode From Competitive Playlist Again

Bungie has tried but it seems that the Breakthrough mode for Destiny 2’s competitive playlist simply is not going to work. Once again the developer has disabled the mode for the competitive playlist, just days after it was reactivated. Early Friday, Destiny 2 community manager Cozmo said that the development team was aware of player complaints and was looking into disabling the mode in the Competitive playlist. And not long after Bungie made it official, putting Breakthrough back on hiatus with the likes of Trials of the Nine....
