The assault on gamer’s wallets won’t stop. With each new high profile game release comes another opportunity to offer limited edition bundles, and they just keep getting more tempting. Fallout 4’s Pip-Boy Edition didn’t even make it a week before it was sold out permanently, despite Bethesda actually wanting to make more. Obviously video game fans are more than willing to shell out good money on quality bundles that let us show off to fellow nerds....

The alternate reality game for Call of Duty Black Ops has reached the end of its fourth day, but with less in the way of immediate interest than we would have hoped. Today’s location is near Promenade West on the B7 section of the map. So far, all four days of the hunt have been on the B and H columns of the map and—with the exception of Friday—have also looked very similar and include repeating callbacks....

Sony Bend releases a gameplay video for its long awaited AAA title, Days Gone. The game takes place in a post apocalyptic world, with game’s playing a nomadic biker. Sony went up to bat last out of all the E3 2016 conferences, but some of the best things were evidently saved for last. Sony Bend’s long-awaited title has finally been revealed, and as suspected, it dons the moniker Days Gone. The game will center around a former bike gang member who is a survivor of a post apocalyptic event, and evidently longs for his significant other, the fate of which is left a mystery....

In the post-apocalyptic open world of Days Gone, people have been transformed into monsters called “Freakers,” which are more or less zombies. This includes children, who will appear in the game as a special type of Freaker called Newts, and their inclusion seems to have upset some people. Since a recent gameplay preview event reminded everyone that Days Gone will effectively have child zombies, there have been multiple editorials, Twitter hot-takes, and YouTube videos made about the issue....

Days Gone is one of the most anticipated titles launching on the PlayStation 4 this year. After the game underwent several delays, the development team at Bend Studio announced that Days Gone has officially gone gold, just ahead of it’s April release date. The game was first announced at E3 2016 and scheduled for a 2018 release date, but after a myriad of delays, fans will finally get their hands on Days Gone in April....

Bungie may have given the world Halo, but for the past seven years they have been working on the Destiny franchise, a first-person shooter MMO that has had its fair share of issues since launch, but has still managed to maintain a strong contingent of loyal fans. Like other MMOs, Destiny provides players with an array of PVE activities, with raids being the most difficult and rewarding of them all....

Want to know what the new weapons look like in Destiny’s upcoming expansion, The Taken King, but don’t want to wait for the September 15 release date? Don’t worry. Bungie’s got it covered. In today’s weekly Destiny update, the developer dropped a ton of information about The Taken King’s expanded arsenal - the largest armory update in Destiny history, including the game’s launch last year - as well as some of the lore behind it....

After last week’s “Gjalla-day,” Xur has some mighty big shoes to fill in the world of Destiny. For months, gamers had been begging the Agent of the Nine to sell Gjallarhorn, the exotic rocket launcher all players covet for its top tier power, and most shocked when he finally did. Needless to say, if Xur wanted to take a break from Destiny for a week or two, few would blame him....

The Nighstalker subclass returns in Destiny 2 to complement the Arcstrider and the Gunslinger. Moreover, like its Destiny counterpart, the Nighstalker Hunter brings their attachment to the Void to strike from the shadows. As such, players of Bungie’s hit MMO who want to focus on stealthy engagements should consider the Nighstalker subclass for their Hunters. The Nighstalker Hunter specializes in debuffing enemies, leaving them vulnerable to the player’s allies. Moreover, depending on the specialization, Nighstalkers can either set up traps, enjoy extra mobility, or increase damage dealt with enemies....

Hunters are phenomenal if players can take advantage of the agility, speed, and deception of the class. Gamers that have more experience playing other FPS games will likely enjoy using the Hunter more than the other classes. However, the Hunter is only a viable class if gamers can master effective movement. The skill of Hunter mains directly correlates with the ways players slide, dodge, and jump to negotiate the map. Professional players will use the three key types of movement to get from point A to B quickly and cleverly....

Destiny 2: Beyond Light launched on Nov 10, 2020, bringing Season of the Hunt with it, as well as many quality-of-life updates and changes for its many Guardians. Guardians got true next-gen console updates to their existing versions of the game, a new destination to explore called Europa, and the new Stasis subclass, which also changed the way Guardians look at subclass customization. Season of the Hunt is ending, bringing in a new season, Season of the Chosen....

Another week and another controversy strikes Destiny 2. This week saw the second expansion pack known as Warmind arrive, bringing with it lots of new content from campaign missions, to new gameplay modes like Escalation Protocol, to brand new loot. Warmind also brings a new raid lair with it known as Spire of Stars, which Bungie has been hesitant to talk much about. Of course, the new raid also means new loot, which users may have discovered a disappointing truth about....

This week in Destiny 2, bugs and exploits seemed to be on the rise for many players. One in particular allowed players to continually load in to the Prophecy Treasure room thanks to a checkpoint that saved after the final boss was killed. Naturally, Bungie moved very fast in order to fix it by disabling the checkpoint which in turn would prevent players from continually loading in and obtaining the loot on an endless cycle....

Destiny 2’s Season of the Drifter is coming to a close and players are figuring out how to prepare for the Crown of Sorrow raid and the Season of Opulence. With the new season launching in less than a week, Bungie is giving players some information about what content is around the corner. Season of Opulence introduces a new activity called the Menagerie which will allow players to earn rewards with the help of the Chalice of Opulence....

Destiny 2 will receive a new patch next week, bringing with it a change to how emblems and auras work in the game. Emblems are getting more features that will make them much more than a vanity item, while the existing aura slot is being combined into these new emblems. Emblems in Destiny 2 have mainly been items with very little use outside of cosmetic flair, although there are a few emblems in the game that are harder to earn, like the ones earned for completing a challenge mode in the Leviathan raid....

There are some key changes coming to Gambit in Destiny 2 along with Season 5 later this month. One of the main complaints about Gambit among the most dedicated and hardcore fans is the catch-up mechanic that helps the opposing team gain ground after summoning the Primeval second. Destiny 2 designer Robbie Stevens says the Primeval buff is changing in Season 5 so that the trailing team only receives one Primeval Slayer buff instead of several....

Destiny 2 players are just about finish up the final season before Beyond Light drops on Tuesday. This season, the Season of Arrivals, will be coming to a close with a small Live Event inside of the Destiny 2 Tower. But when the event will occur is still a little bit of mystery. While no official time is listed, players have been warned that they have to log out of Destiny at 4PM PST to download a small patch....

Destiny 2’s upcoming Forsaken expansion will bring several major changes to the popular shooter, and it seems that one hated mechanic may be changed alongside the launch of the expansion. Destiny 2’s hidden ammo juggler mechanic is almost universally disliked by most of the community, but the mechanic will be changing when Forsaken launches this September. In an interview with FPS News, Forsaken Project Lead Scott Taylor confirmed that there would be some change to the ammo juggler mechanic with Forsaken....

While many games scheduled for launch in 2021 are starting to announce delays, one of the year’s biggest remaining games and most anticipated is Capcom’s Resident Evil Village. The latest original title in the franchise sees the return of Resident Evil 7 protagonist Ethan Winters who now finds himself inside of a mysterious European style village thanks to Chris Redfield, who, for some reason, kidnaps Winters and brings him to this strange location....

Resident Evil 8 is highly anticipated as another installment in a franchise that was key in establishing the survival-horror genre. Rumors surrounding the release and content of Resident Evil 8 are already mounting and with leaks suggesting that the release of the game coming soon many have been excited. There now appears to be a date that players can look to for more information about the title. While there is no guarantee that the date given will be connected to Resident Evil 8, it certainly seems to be an important day for Capcom....
