| | PCGamesN Saturday, October 30, 2021 7:01 AM | |  Fallout 76 wasn't very good at launch. It was prone to griefers, bereft of life, clunky, and buggy as all hell - worse than Cyberpunk, and it's not even close. Many of those issues remain: crashes are common, bugs still abound, and the UI is more nightmarish than any Scorched you'll come across in post-apocalyptic Appalachia. But they're less severe than they were, and no longer laid bare in an empty world where players have little to do other than harass each other. The last three years have had their ups and downs, but a few key updates - Wastelanders, Steel Dawn, The Legendary Run, and One Wasteland For All - have made Fallout 76's world a drastically different one than players entered back in 2018. There are NPCs now, and proper quest lines with branching dialogue that make it feel more like a Fallout game. It's a better MMO, too, with more daily quests, endgame gear, and roleplay options. So, what if Fallout 76 came out right now? Well, to start with, it's pretty unlikely that Fallout 76 would be sitting on a Metacritic score of just over 50%. Judging from the handful of scored and unscored reviews that cropped up following the release of Wastelanders, we'd probably be looking at a score a little higher than 60%, maybe even higher given recent updates like Worlds and Locked & Loaded.

| | PCGamesN Saturday, October 30, 2021 6:42 AM | |  It looks like a Fortnite x League of Legends crossover may be coming next week, according to a reliable Fortnite insider and leaker. The Fortnite leak suggests that popular character Jinx will be available as a skin soon, as a tie-in with the upcoming Arcane animated series. A number of other popular game franchises have had crossovers with Fortnite, including the currently available Resident Evil bundle, but there haven't been that many crossovers with similar online phenomenons - other than perhaps Among Us, which almost didn't happen. Now, according to reliable Fortnite leaker Shiina, it looks like two of the world's most popular online games are finally doing a crossover - League of Legends is coming to Fortnite, starting with the ever-popular Jinx. According to Shiina, this collaboration is to celebrate the release of Riot's Arcane Netflix animated series on November 7 - which will show the origins of Jinx and her sister Vi as they grow up on the mean streets of Zaun.

| | PCGamesN Saturday, October 30, 2021 5:55 AM | |  Want to know how to use a Minecraft pumpkin? Pumpkins aren't just for Halloween - they're one of the most versatile blocks in Minecraft, with several surprising uses. They appear naturally in most biomes, but require a grass block with air above it in order to spawn. They also naturally show up in stem farm rooms inside woodland mansions, but those are particularly tricky to find - luckily, we've identified a Minecraft seed that spawns you a mere hundred blocks away from one. You'll also find carved pumpkins - the spooky siblings of regular pumpkins - in rail rooms in woodland mansions. Carved pumpkins show up in pillager outposts inside tents alongside normal pumpkins, too, and atop scarecrows. Pumpkins also generate instead of hay bales outside taiga and snowy taiga villages. There are even more ways to get your hands on a pumpkin - they have a 15.6% chance of showing up in chests inside shipwrecks, and you may be able to buy one from a wandering trader. There's one more way to get hold of a carved pumpkin - if a hostile Minecraft mob spawns during Halloween, there's a chance they'll show up sporting a carved pumpkin on their head. In order to steal the pumpkin, you'll have to kill it with a tool you've added Looting to at a Minecraft enchantment table. The chances of it dropping are pretty slim - you're better off carving your own, which we'll explain how to do below, before guiding you through the Minecraft pumpkin's varied uses.

| | Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, October 30, 2021 6:00 AM | |  One of the first things that may strike you about Mundaun, a very unsettling horror game that released earlier this year, is just how comfortable with weirdness it is. There are hay people hunting you in the night, monstrous masks inspired by traditional Swiss carnival costumes, and the decapitated head of the goat Allegria, bleating and chattering from your backpack. Many horror games either try to establish a sense of mundane familiarity in a recognisable, contemporary world before shattering that familiarity, or else rely on the dusty, done-to-death setting of haunted manors. In most cases, neither approach does much to surprise. Horror often relies on the grotesque, but Mundaun's weirdness is different. It is an earthy kind of weirdness, a strangeness with roots so deep that it might be confused with familiarity. It's a horror that smells not of blood, but of hay and dung, snow and soot. Read more

| | Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, October 30, 2021 4:00 AM | |  By the time you read this I'll be playing Back 4 Blood, gunning down hordes of the undead until viscera and gore cake my player's clothes, and my eyes become infinite pools of horror that have seen more than enough death for one lifetime. Or perhaps I'll be creeping around a haunted house in Phasmophobia, my smudge stick in-hand and a cavalcade of petrified friends whimpering down their mics. Maybe I'll be running from Pyramid Head in Dead By Daylight with my pals in tow. A thought has been brewing in the cold recesses of my mind for a while now, and it is simply this: when did horror become a team game? Read more

| | Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, October 30, 2021 4:00 AM | |  Happy Halloween weekend, gang! Oh, hang on, I meant to say: BOO! Alright, there we go. But the greatest horror this weekend isn't any ghost or ghoulie, it's UK clocks switching back to GMT this weekend. Sure, your phone and computer will automatically update, but your heating will be irksome until you again dig out the manual to remember how to change it. And a secondary blast of horror comes from the fact that not every country changes their clocks just yet, so if you deal with business across timezones... good luck, pal. But, what are you playing this weekend? Read more
