Since the Xbox Series X launched a year and two days ago, it's been impossible to get your hands on one—a situation that's not likely to abate any time soon, thanks to an ongoing confluence of factors. For some well-heeled gamers, however, there's soon to be another avenue. Italian luxury fashion house Gucci will soon…

Refamiliarizing oneself with their Animal Crossing: New Horizons island after spending a considerable amount of time away can feel like navigating a labyrinth of your own making.

Fishing in video games is tricky to nail. Many games offer such a mechanic, but few actually pull it off. Personally, I can't even recall a single fishing mini-game I've wrung enjoyment out of in the last few years. Pokémon? Tedious, annoying. Fire Emblem: Three Houses? Zzzzz. Hades? The only thing resembling a flaw…

     FFXIV devs will

As in any MMO worth its salt, the true endgame of Final Fantasy XIV is fashion. The game's job system means that you've got a lot of gear to hang onto, and there aren't enough glamour plates to handle a fashion set for all of your occupations. The former issue is getting partly addressed through the removal of belts, but after introducing some of the new raid gear coming in Endwalker, director and producer Naoki Yoshida offered some hope for more space on both sides.

"I know this is going to beg the question of 'well, I don't have enough room in my armoury chest anymore', or 'what about more glamour plates?'" Yoshida says (via translator) in the latest Live Letter. "We are making preparations. We're trying to see how we can expand, and by 6.1 timing, I believe we're going to be getting pretty close to having our preparations in place to start addressing some of these issues that we have with 'capacity', so to speak."

Patch 6.0 will bring us a bit more armoury chest space as of the Endwalker release date, as the space previously given to belts will now be available for primary weapons and rings. But that doesn't address the (relatively) small number of glamour plates, and even more armoury space would go a long way to helping manage inventory issues. Of course, we'll have to wait until 6.1 to see what kind of improvements the devs will be able to implement, as FFXIV aging back-end has prevented them from simply adding more inventory space in the past.

     Call Of Duty Vanguard Review Feature Promo ArtLast year's Call of Duty was a divisive one. Treyarch moved away from just about everything Modern Warfare had built up, opting to create a classic-styled CoD game instead. Some liked the shift, but others certainly didn't. This time around it is Sledgehammer Games' turn with Call of Duty: Vanguard, an entry that pivots back to Modern Warfare's newer engine. Sledgehammer Games has previously been responsible for Advanced Warfare and WWII. It has also assisted with the creation of Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops Cold War. It's a reasonable, but mixed, list of installments that don't have too much in common beyond their shared brand name. This diverse list of installments makes it difficult to predict what to expect from a Sledgehammer Call of Duty game. It creates some unease, but I'm glad to say that there are more positives than negatives to Vanguard, at least if you stick to multiplayer.   Campaign For most players, it's probably...
