Among other things, the last of Destiny’s Twitch stream reveals focused on the new armor sets coming in the Age of Triumph live event. In a fashion show, so to speak, Destiny’s developer, Bungie, gave fans a good look at the gear they will be chasing once Age of Triumph launches next week. Earlier this week Bungie said the developer saved the best of Destiny’s armor for last, and after seeing it many fans would agree....
Destiny is as much a game about collecting rare and exciting loot as it is about shooting mysterious sci-fi aliens across the galaxy, and fans of the series are no stranger to spending hours on end chasing RNG. The CX20 Slipper Misfit Rare Ship from Destiny 1 is one of those items and it’s currently on sale for the first time in over two years. In Destiny 2, the majority of Ships come from microtransactions/Bright Engrams in the Eververse store or end-game activities rendering vehicle vendor Amanda Halliday relatively useless once the main campaign has been completed....
There has been a lot of news lately with the upcoming release of Destiny 2: Beyond Light, the first in a lineup of new expansions for Destiny 2. With Destiny heading to Europa in the newest expansion, several new trailers have been showing off what’s to come. The latest trailer revealed various new weapons and gear players will be able to get their hands on when Beyond Light arrives, and it also gives a quick glimpse of a new enemy guardian will face, too....
The Hammer of Proving is a new ritual artifact that combines elements of last season’s Cryptolith Lure with Season of Arrivals’ Umbral Engram system for a more complex and engaging way to farm for weapons and armor during Season of the Chosen. In order to progress through this season’s upgrade path, you’ll need to engage with the new weekly challenge system, Battlegrounds playlist, and the new H.E.L.M. hub within the Tower....
Destiny 2’s Season of the Drifter is live and with it, the new Gambit Prime and Reckoning modes are available for Annual Pass owners. Dedicated and returning Guardians are diving into the new gameplay, banking Motes, and earning the Drifter’s approval, but the true reward is the new Gambit Prime armor sets. These role-specific sets of armor (Invader, Sentry, Reaper, Collector) empower Guardians with perks for Gambit Prime, accentuating their playstyle....
Destiny 2 celebrated Bungie Day with a Traveller-sized content drop at reset today, including a new exotic question, Crucible and Gambit bonuses, and a brand new type of focused Engram. The Exodus has begun, and like it or not, 4 destinations will be leaving Destiny 2 next season to make room for new content coming to the game. Of course, Titan, IO, Mars, and Mercury aren’t going to simply vanish for no reason, and this week marks the beginning of the end for some beloved (and not so beloved) patrol areas....
Though Destiny 2 is scheduled for maintenance today, taking the servers offline in order to apply a hot fix, Bungie appears to have also made a quick update to one of the milestones for this week. After surprising the community with a brand new Nightfall this week set on Mercury, it appears that a player reported bug has forced Bungie to change the activity much sooner than expected. After the weekly reset arrived this past Tuesday for Destiny 2, players began reporting a clan related issue where the Nightfall engram wasn’t unlocking after The Garden World Nightfall strike was cleared....
With the long grind of season 4 now at an end, things are starting to get a lot more interesting for Destiny 2 players heading into season 5. While a new update is on the way, the game is being prepared for the launch of Black Armory, a new content add-on that aims to add plenty of new things for players to accomplish during the Season of the Forge. Even though Bungie hasn’t confirmed anything quite yet, new updates and potential leaks are giving fans a lot of information at what may be coming around the corner when season 5 kicks off....
The Curse of Osiris DLC is now available for Destiny 2, and while some Guardians are excited to dive into more content, others are upset with the way Bungie is handling the expansion. As it turns out, playing the Leviathan raid on Prestige difficulty is no longer possible for vanilla Destiny 2 players, as the content now requires the Curse of Osiris DLC. Understandably, many fans aren’t happy about being locked out of content they previously had access to, and have been airing their grievances on social media....
Bungie surprises Destiny: The Taken King players by launching a Halloween themed event including a new quest, free masks, and consumables along with more paid emotes. With Halloween arriving in less than a week, Bungie surprised Destiny players by kicking off the Festival of the Lost event at the Tower. Not only has the Tower been decorated with new banners, lanterns, and purple candles, but players will find a number of new things to experience, including ambient sound effects such as screams and wolf howls randomly occurring as they walk around....
With Destiny: The Taken King slowly but surely inching its way closer to release, developer Bungie has been doing all it can to prepare players for the expansion’s launch. So far, they have detailed major changes to the PvP meta, revealed new experiences like the Court of Oryx and the Shield Brothers strike, and offered closer looks at some of the new exotic gear Xur will be selling come September 15th....
It’s no secret that the video game industry has seen an increase in activity throughout 2020. With an emphasis on staying-at-home, most fans of gaming have taken to content creation whether as a hobby or as an occupation in lieu of a loss of jobs. As more and more gamers take to content creation in pursuit of the latter, companies are doubling down on rules and regulations. For a time, one such company that was at the forefront of doubling down was none other than Twitch....
With Cyberpunk 2077 suffering another delay that pushes the game’s release date for 21 days, the issue of crunch has become a hot topic within CD Projekt Red. It’s worth remembering that last month, reports surfaced that CD Projekt Red had issued a mandatory crunch order in hopes of releasing Cyberpunk 2077 on time. Now, it appears that CEO Adam Kicinski recently made a statement that appears to downplay the crunch issue....
The director of the hit platformer Celeste has confirmed that Madeline, the game’s protagonist, is trans, according to a blog posted on their website.

Considering the high learning curve presented by Civilization 6, some of the new players may be looking for a bit of help getting started, and this guide looks to assist with the very first decision they must make: choosing a Civ 6 leader. To note, there are many leaders in Civilization 6 that are perfectly suitable for beginners, and indeed civs like Germany, Russia, and Sumeria are all great choices for players that are just starting out....
The long-running Yakuza franchise saw a significant evolution with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. In numerous ways, Like a Dragon changed the seemingly evergreen formula of Yakuza games by introducing a completely new RPG progression and battle system. Yakuza: Like a Dragon doesn’t technically do anything new for JRPGs in general, but for a series that built its legacy on combo and reaction-based beat ’em up combat, it’s a huge change. Like a Dragon’s character dynamics and stories are where the game truly stands out on its own, which is mostly driven by the game’s new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga....
PC players had to wait a few extra weeks, but Control is finally going to be available on Xbox Game Pass for PC this week. Remedy Entertainment’s cerebral shooter Control came to Xbox Game Pass on console and mobile on December 3. Game Pass will often add new games on mobile, console, and PC simultaneously, as was the case with Injustice 2 earlier this month. Unfortunately, when Control joined game pass last month, PC players were left in the dust....
“Bigotry and insanity are different,” Psychiatrist Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis says at the beginning of HBO’s documentary Crazy, Not Insane. The idea that someone can kill for perfectly sane, yet irrational reasons goes to the heart of the controversial doctor’s work. Her mother seemed to be able to name every famous anti-Semite. Henry Ford, Richard Wagner, Joe Kennedy and “even Walt Disney,” Lewis lists. The man who made Bambi, which made Lewis cry as a little girl, hated Jews, she bemoans as the film unfolds....
September 2020 has seen the release of a few critically-acclaimed titles, including Paradox Development Studio’s strategy game Crusader Kings 3 and Vicarious Visions’ extreme sports game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remake. With more big titles like the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection releasing later this month, some players may be wondering how they can get the most out of all these experiences in the shortest amount of time....
It’s safe to say that Cuphead is one of the most hotly anticipated indie projects of 2017. The game made an immediate impression all the way back at E3 2014 thanks to its completely unique art style, and at this year’s E3 we learned it would finally launch this fall. Now, its developer has gone on record to offer up some information about the platforms that Cuphead will be coming to....
