Red Dead Redemption II has a pretty bleak and confusing opening. I had no idea it was going to start with your gang being stranded in the mountains, deep in cold snow, and on the brink of being wiped out. Aside from the atmosphere, it’s also just kind of dull and drawn out. This tempered my excitement for the game and I kept telling myself “this is going to get good” just to keep myself going. It’s not the worst opening 2-3 hours of a game, but it was a letdown, to say the le
PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds shocked the video game world back in early 2017. Its creative take on the typical multiplayer shooter paved the way for the future of online action games. Fortnite has raked in the dough by branching off of the playstyle of PUBG . Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will both include a battle royal mode tailored toward those series. However, despite it being a year and a half after the game initially took off, there still hasn’t been a game that can replicate the experience that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds provi
Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a gren
Another mechanic the game tries to hammer home to you that isn’t as important as it seems is dialogue choices. You can greet people and it will raise your honor, which is useful if you want to get discounts in shops. That’s about
During X018, we got a closer look at Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood world in. The game takes players to several different Disney franchises, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Hero 6, Frozen, and Tangled , so Winnie the Pooh’s classic world only adds to an impressive lin
Prequels, especially ones that center on how villains rise to power and turn from good to bad, Star Wars cough, can be dicey. So again, that had me concerned. Then their first few trailers were story focused, which was kind of mind-boggling to me. What even is this game? A true gameplay trailer didn’t even release until a few months away from this launch and even then I was a bit baffled. So now that it’s out, what do I think? To be blunt, I love it. That said there are some confusing things I wish I knew before I started so here are some helpful tips and just some odd observations for newcomers. Hope this he
Over on the game’s Steam Community page, PUBG Corps revealed the patch notes for the upcoming Update #12 for the game’s PC version, which promises a hefty number of balance changes and more. The patch itself will be available later today after scheduled server maintenance at 7pm PT, while a new ranked season for the game will also be commencing to
Over on the game’s Steam Community page, developer Pubg Ally Corp has revealed the patch notes for the PC version’s update #15, which will bring over the brand new Sanhok map, which was available in testing for several weeks, over to the live ser
Think of the Mirado as a compliment to the other unique vehicles on Miramar: The van is extremely sturdy, but slow and ineffective when taken off-road; The pickup is great for off-road travel; And the Mirado is the fastest way to blaze down a high
I’m not one for multiplayer especially when it comes to games with stories I want to get invested in. That said because Red Dead Redemption II is such a different experience, I was curious how the game was going to handle onl
In addition to the new skins system in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that will provide players some flexibility in customizing their characters’ appearance, the update also introduces some new options for earning cosmetic items through the Triumph and Raider crates. The Triumph crates can only be opened by purchasing a Weapon Cosmetic Key, while the Raider crates can be opened for free from players that earn them in-g
The Void is a training mode like place where players can hone their skill, trying new moves and combos against a variety of enemies, so it seems like it will definitely satiate the hardcore community. Those of us who want to hear even more about the game will also get our wishes fulfilled next month, as it was confirmed that Devil May Cry 5 will be making an appearance at The Game Awards as w
The menus aren’t the only things cluttered in the game. Actually interacting with dressers, tables, and the like can also be frustrating. Let’s look at your camp bedside for example. In your space you can sleep, sit, change clothes, interact with pictures and other objects on your nightstand, and shave. All of this is within centimeters of each other and simply turning one direction can change what you can see. Well if you hit the two triggers on PS4, it’ll cycle through all available options near you. This saves a lot of t
We saw a bit of them in action on the game’s Paris stage as well, and they look as crazy as you’d think. Jump Force launches on February 15, though Bandai Namco Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft are still promising more character reveals leading up until lau
