Kotaku Monday, November 29, 2021 2:15 PM  Some of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's rarest Pokémon aren't officially in the game yet, but that hasn't stopped impatient players from finding creative ways to get at least one of them early. Normally, the mythic hedgehog Shaymin isn't available outside of special events, but thanks to BDSP's litany of… |

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 2:18 PM  Cloud gaming like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Game Pass are great ways to spruce up your old laptop and give it a new lease of life, but let's face facts: nothing is quite as good as an old fashioned, powerful machine that's designed to get the best frame rate without the aid of the internet. With plenty of gaming laptop deals this Cyber Monday, you're not short of devices to choose from, and this Acer Nitro 5 stands tall with a sleek $200 discount. This Nitro 5 in particular easily gives desktops a run for their money, with the latest hardware under the hood. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H mobile gaming CPU runs at a respectable 3.2GHz with a 4.4GHz burst mode, while the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card means you can take ray tracing, Nvidia DLSS, and Nvidia Reflex with you on-the-go. It even has 16GB of RAM to keep in line with the recommended specs of the latest games. Making sure you see everything this hardware has to offer, visuals are brought to life with a 15.6-inch 1440p IPS display, ensuring you get immaculate details and vibrant colours. It also boasts a swift 165Hz panel, so you can fully embrace a higher frame rate. RELATED LINKS: Best gaming monitor |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 2:06 PM  Company of Heroes 3 isn't due to launch until 2022, but the developers at Relic seem keen to provide plenty of opportunities for players to check it out early. Another multiplayer pre-alpha is getting underway this week, and will provide seven days' worth of action against both online players and AI opponents. The multiplayer pre-alpha starts on Tuesday, November 30 at 9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT, and lasts until Monday, December 6 at 8pm PST / 11pm EST, or December 7 at 4am GMT. Pre-loads are already available, so you can be ready to play as soon as the playtest goes live. If you didn't sign up for the previous pre-alpha, you'll need to register over on the official site. Then you can link your Steam account, and redeem a key for pre-alpha access via the Relic page. Once you've done so, the playtest will appear in your Steam library, and you'll be able to download it ahead of launch.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 1:25 PM  Connecting your devices can do a lot to enhance your gaming experience. Something like the Amazon Echo has quite a lot to offer PC gamers, whether it's by vocally controlling the RGB lights you're using in your setup, choosing the right background music to play during a long gaming session, or even by setting up notifications so that you know when your favourite games are on offer. If you want to make an investment into one of these delightful pieces of technology, the good news is that they are up to 63% off this Cyber Monday. The Echo Show 8, released earlier this year, is reduced by a huge 31%, bringing the price down to $89.99. Unlike the Echo Dot models, the Echo Show comes with a small 8 inch HD touch screen which you can use for social and entertainment purposes, as well as being able to give it voice commands, like setting up reminders for time-sensitive in-game events, or reminding you when the Steam seasonal sale launches. You can even set it to curate your news so that you never miss any updates about your favourite games. Of course, not everybody needs a HD screen with their Amazon Echo. If you just want it for the integrated smart features (like controlling RGB lights or sound systems) then the Echo Dot 3rd generation would be worth a look. This one one has been reduced by a whopping 63%, meaning that you can grab one for a mere $19.99 if you buy it before the Cyber Monday sales pass.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 1:54 PM  The developers behind the popular Napoleonic Wars expansion for Mount & Blade: Warband are in the final phases of development on Battle Cry of Freedom, an American Civil War game heading to Steam in 2022. It's taken them 10 years, and the result is a multiplayer game that allows up to 300 players to duke it out on some of the Civil War's most storied battlefields. Battle Cry of Freedom is in development by Flying Squirrel Entertainment, the Netherlands-based studio that created the Mount & Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars DLC for TaleWorlds. That expansion was published in 2012, and since then, Flying Squirrel has been developing Battle Cry of Freedom, a passion project borne out of the developers' own love of CIvil War reenactment. Looking over the features list, it becomes clearer why development has taken so long. Battle Cry of Freedom not only lets you fight it out as either a Union or Confederate infantry soldier, you'll also have access to "a wide range of artillery pieces" that each have a selection of munitions, there are barricades and trenches to build, destructible environments, and "dozens of classes to choose from". |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 1:07 PM  It's time to go High Calibre, as the Rainbow Six Siege devs have just provided precise start times for the new season, across every platform. If you've been counting down to the Rainbow Six Siege High Calibre release date on November 30, you don't have much longer to wait. Maintenance for Rainbow Six Siege High Calibre begins on PC via Steam and Ubisoft Connect (as well as Stadia and Luna) at 6am PST / 9am EST / 2pm GMT on November 30, and will last approximately one hour. You'll need to download a patch of 4.8GB on Steam, or 5.36GB on Ubisoft Connect before you can jump into the new content. For the benefit of our console friends, Xbox maintenance starts at 7am PST / 10am EST / 3pm GMT, with a patch size of 4.08GB on Xbox One, and 4.31GB on Xbox Series X. PlayStation maintenance begins at 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm GMT, with a patch size of 4.38GB on PS4, and 4.10GB on PS5.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 1:07 PM  It's well understood by now that the best graphics cards are hard to come by due to the ongoing chip shortage and unprecedented demand from both gamers and crypto miners. However, a recent report by El Chapuzas Informatico (via Videocardz) claims that GPU manufacturer Sapphire is making and selling crypto mining cards. The report contains images and specifications of two graphics cards, namely the Sapphire GPRO X080 and GPRO X060. The company's GPRO series of GPUs are billed as products for the commercial market, similar to Nvidia's RTX A2000 and AMD's Radeon's Pro cards. However, the specifications shared by El Chapuzas Informatico specifically highlight the 'reference Ethash Performance', which is used to describe a graphics card's performance when mining the Ethereum crypto currency. Both cards supposedly use variants of AMD's RDNA 2 microarchitecture, with the GPRO X080 using the Navi 22 GPU found in the RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT, with an MSRP of €750. Meanwhile, the GPRO X060 uses the Navi 23 XL GPU found in the RX 6600, and costs €550. RELATED LINKS: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X review, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT review, Best CPU for gaming |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 12:32 PM  A major update for Cyberpunk 2077 will launch alongside its next-gen console version, which is expected to launch early next year. Developer CD Projekt Red says the studio is engaged in "ongoing work" on the Cyberpunk 2077 expansions, as well as on the next-gen version of fantasy RPG game The Witcher 3. "We are hard at work on the next-gen version of Cyberpunk [2077], scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2022, alongside another major update for all platforms," CEO Adam Kiciński says in a summary report on the publisher's third fiscal quarter. "There is also ongoing work on the next-gen version of the Witcher 3 and the Cyberpunk expansion." Vice president and chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz notes that the CD Projekt has seen a reduction in net profits this year, which he says is "mainly due to expenses related to updating Cyberpunk and exploratory work on new projects which are at an early stage of development". Despite the reduced net profits, Nielubowicz says the company's financial reserves have grown over the past quarter.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 12:28 PM  A new season for Sea of Thieves gets underway in December, and while it won't have the big new content drops that we saw in Seasons Three and Four, Season Five is bringing us a host of quality-of-life features that might be even more significant. The update will bring everything from buryable treasure to polyhedral dice, so here's a broad rundown of what to expect. You will now be able to bury your own treasure. Doing so will create a custom treasure map detailing the location of your booty - you can post that to a quest board at sea posts and outposts, and other players will be able to pick up that map and go seek out the treasure for themselves. If another crew succeeds at that treasure hunt, you'll also get the reputation reward for the loot, as well as a renown bonus. Perhaps the biggest of the myriad quality of life tweaks is the update to storage crates. While holding a crate, you can now look at a barrel or other container and simply 'take all'. This should make stocking up your ship at the start of a session far less of a time sink. RELATED LINKS: Sea of Thieves tips, Sea of Thieves quests, guilds, and raids, Sea of Thieves endgame |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 12:03 PM  Want to know a little more about the new Minecraft Warden mob? This terrifying monster can be found lurking deep within Minecraft's caves, now coming as part of the Minecraft 1.19 update next year. The Warden patrols the deepest areas of caverns and is the only blind mob in the game. So, what makes the Warden so frightening? Well, lack of sight doesn't mean the Warden can't track you down. Instead, the Warden uses sound to locate the player, which means you have to be very sneaky to avoid a confrontation with this new mob - if you're smart you can throw items like snowballs to get the Warden to head in another direction. However, if you find yourself exposed and with nowhere to go, you will have to take on this powerful beast. Join us as we go through everything Mojang has shared on one of the spookiest Minecraft mobs in the game, from its damage output and health pool, to its movement characteristics and its spawn location.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 11:54 AM  Folks have been playing WW2 games since long before Call of Duty appeared on the scene. Traditional wargames have handled bits and pieces of the war for generations now, and PC wargaming represents what you might think of as a separate evolutionary branch of increasing complexity over time, and in that light, Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 sits at the top of the food chain. After launching on the Slitherine online store in March, it's coming to Steam December 9. As you can probably tell from the screenshots, War in the East 2 isn't for the faint of heart. It's an obsessively detailed simulation of the entire 3,000-mile Eastern Front in World War II. Beginning in 1941, it runs through four years of conflict at a rate of one week per turn. You've got to manage your forces on the front lines, of course, but War in the East 2 also involves a massive logistics simulation, as well as both sides' air forces. There's a lot to do, and it can be daunting to start out with. Fortunately, publisher Slitherine has also created a full-colour manual that explains each component of the game, detailing the phases of each turn and how to navigate its many, many menus. |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 11:19 AM  Want to know how to light candles in Minecraft? Candles were added to the sandbox game back in the Minecraft 1.17 update which was released in June. The Bedrock Edition also received the 1.17 update, but some items like candles and potted azaleas were delayed until 1.17.10. Now that candles are finally available for everyone, it's time to learn what you can do with them. The first part of the caves and cliffs update introduces candles as a way to brighten any dark environment. Sure, you could rely entirely on torches to light up caves, but candles bring a certain kind of flair that you can't put a price on. In our opinion, candles are inherently superior to torches as they have multiple uses - they can be used on a birthday cake to create a heartwarming memory for everyone involved. Sticking a big flaming stick into a cake doesn't work at all, in case you were wondering. Whether you're looking to light up a birthday cake, or create a wonderful ambience in a nearby cave, these Minecraft candles are sure to light up your world - here's how to use them.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 10:52 AM  It looks like the rewards from Halo Infinite's upcoming Tactical Ops event have found their way online. Prolific Fortnite dataminer FireMonkey has taken to Twitter to share armour, coating, and more from the upcoming occasion (thanks, GamesRadar), though the special playlist isn't currently known. Alongside the Mark V Zeta helmet and Mauros attachment, you might be getting steel and orange armour coating, a Spartan pose, and various experience boosts. The dataminer also shares that the event will run from February 8 to 21, 2022, so you may have a wait on your hands. While FireMonkey doesn't know what the special playlist will be, they did come across a few things called Tactical: Slayer Stalkers, Commandos, Sidekicks, and Manglers. Due to the usage of 'Tactical', they guess it could be related to the upcoming playlist. As ever with datamines, keep in mind that the loot hasn't been confirmed by 343 Industries and could be subject to change. Recently, the developer confirmed that Halo Infinite is getting more free content-focused events alongside Fracture: Tenrai called Winter Contingency, Cyber Showdown, and Tactical Ops.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 10:53 AM  We've said farewell to Minecraft Live 2021, and the devs at Mojang once again provided us with a selection of new mobs to choose between for inclusion in the game. The ultimate winner was the item-collecting allay. The allay looks like a little blue fairy with bat wings. If you give it an item, it will find nearby dropped items of the same type. But, as the devs note on Twitter, it won't duplicate that item or rifle through chests for it - it's purely about picking up that item when it's dropped on the overworld. The allay will then drop the collected items near a note block, apparently because it loves to dance. The allay mob is one of several new mobs and features coming to The Wild update, it joins Minecraft frogs, a new mangrove tree and swamp biome, and mud blocks. Although this isn't the next scheduled update to Minecraft, with the Caves and Cliffs part two, otherwise known as the Minecraft 1.18 update.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 10:49 AM  Myth of Empires is a historical multiplayer sandbox game that's just come to Steam in Early Access - and it's already proved a bit of a hit on Valve's platform. A couple of weeks on from its debut on November 18, it's snagged a place in the top ten best-selling games on Steam for the week ending November 28. That's according to Steam stats site SteamDB, which rounds up the platform's best-selling games of each week every Sunday. This week's results have already proved a bit of a surprise, with Farming Simulator 22 impressively taking the top spot, above massive new releases such as Battlefield 2042 - a feat mirrored in the two games' respective concurrent player counts this past weekend. Myth of Empires, however, has nabbed the number ten spot, which puts it just behind FIFA 22. Developed by China-based studio Angela Game, which was also behind January's free-to-play RTS game Iron Conflict, Myth of Empires is set in a historical and pretty vast game world you'll have to survive to "rise from zero to hero". You'll need to "survive the harsh environment, build your homeland, raise your army, and vanquish your foes on the battlefield," as its devs explain.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 10:04 AM  In June last year, in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the civil unrest it catalysed, our parent company committed to increase the visibility of BIPOC and other underrepresented voices across its portfolio. Network N's owned-and-operated sites, including PCGamesN, had their freelance budgets raised by 25%, with the raise allocated specifically to commissioning those voices. From November 2021, that investment has been raised further, to a total of £5,000 (~$6,500) a month, or £60,000 (~$79,000) per year. This money will be used solely to commission work by writers from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other diverse backgrounds across PCGamesN and all its sister sites. We want to continue to ensure that all such writers are getting the same opportunities as any others, so please pitch us your ideas across the gamut of games writing: opinion, features, guides, reviews; all of it. In addition, we also want to highlight the personal experiences of gamers from these less-represented groups; not only do we want to have more diverse voices covering our usual beats, but more diverse coverage, too. |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 9:30 AM  The performance and temperature of your gaming PC go hand-in-hand, as the more you make it sweat, the slower it'll be. Pop a decent cooler on top of one of the best gaming CPUs, however, and you'll have a rig that's ready to run a marathon, whether you're crafting a top-of-the-line system or simply trying to get Halo Infinite to run at more than 60fps. Thankfully, while keeping things frosty can be pricey, there are plenty of CPU cooler deals to be found this Cyber Monday. You have two core options when it comes to picking up a new CPU cooler. The traditional path is to go for an air cooler, which uses a large metal heatsink and fan to disperse heat. Some prefer the best AIO coolers, which run liquid through a closed-loop to keep things cool. These are much easier to install than a custom water-cooling build, and are far flashier than air cooling. Whatever you opt for, you'll likely need to pair your cooling solution with a good set of fans. 120mm should do the trick, fitting inside most PC cases, and Antec has vibrant RGB-clad sets currently on offer.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 8:08 AM  Following plenty of feedback from fans, 343 Industries is taking another look at Halo Infinite's progression systems in multiplayer. Over the past week, several senior staffers have taken to Twitter to assure fans that "constructive feedback is being heard loud and clear", and that progression is top of the team's priority list. 343 Industries head of design Jerry Hook admits that he's "feeling everyone's pain on progression", further assuring players that the issue is "top" of his list with the team this week. Hook's tweet follows comments made by community director Brian Jarrard last week, who also took time out to let people know that the team is aware of complaints over time investment and rewards. "Been travelling so slow to respond - but please know the constructive feedback is being heard loud and clear," he said at the time. Jarrard also explained that "changes will take time" as the priority last week was giving the team a "much-deserved break" for the Thanksgiving holiday. While the new PC game's multiplayer has been praised for its combat, criticism of Halo Infinite's battle pass is seldom too far away. The developers were swift to introduce a bevy of tweaks, though the conversation picked up once again when the Fracture: Tenrai event went live last week.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 8:07 AM  What is copper in Minecraft? Yes, we have a brand new resource to play with, which you can smelt, wield, and craft until your heart desires. The new material arrives in the upcoming Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update and as part of Mojang's promise to the community to spruce up the cave and mountain system. As well as copper, the upcoming update will also add new Minecraft mobs such as adorable mountain goats, sweet little axolotls, and the warden - a blind monster mob found lurking in your newly excavated caves. For everything we know about these updates, check out our guides on the Minecraft 1.17 update and Minecraft 1.18 update to get the full Caves and Cliffs release dates, how the new cave system works, and of course the biomes themselves. It also has a fun quirk that veteran players will adore, in that copper turns green over time as it's naturally exposed to the elements, so long term players can celebrate their turquoise trophies. Or passing players can marvel at your greening Minecraft house - or whatever you decide to build with copper in Minecraft. RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods |
PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 8:04 AM  Intel has finally made the processor market competitive again with its Alder Lake CPUs, but it appears AMD has a trick up its sleeve that could help the company maintain the lead that it's built up over the past several years. According to reliable hardware leaker Greymon55, we could see Ryzen CPUs equipped with team red's new '3D V-Cache' technology on store shelves by February 2022. AMD announced that it would begin production of its "highest-end products with 3D chiplets by the end of this year", during its Computex keynote in June, but the company is yet to announce an official release date. Greymon55 claims that team red is already in the midst of mass producing chips and that it "usually takes at least 3 months to get to market, so I'm leaning toward it being announced in January and available in February." This technology will prove useful in improving performance across a variety of applications, including gaming. AMD says a prototype Ryzen 9 5900X using 3D V-Cache technology can boost fps by 15% on average, versus the company's current best gaming CPU, thanks to triple the amount of L3 cache.

Wrapping your ears in a good paid of cans is just as important as a quality mouse or keyboard in your setup, allowing you to both communicate clearly with teammates, hear enemy footsteps across the map in shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Call of Duty: Vanguard or just listen to music at night without upsetting the rest of your house. They're not the cheapest piece of equipment in the world, particularly when you're looking for something high-end, but that all changes when you introduce heavy discounts. Thankfully, Cyber Monday is upon us and sales are in abundance to offer you great deals on a quality set of cans. Whether you want to save money on a budget model that covers all the bases, or a premium option that suddenly has much more value, we've rounded up the best Cyber Monday gaming headset deals, with options from popular brands such as Razer, Logitech, and Corsair.

PCGamesN Monday, November 29, 2021 10:37 AM  Looking for the parkour games on PC? Walls suck. Sorry, we said it, walls are the worst. We would far prefer a world where we could just walk straight to our destination without having to navigate around buildings and houses - yuck. There are plenty of action-adventure games that agree with us too you know? Many games these days allow us to traverse the world by scaling sheds, clambering over condos, and aggressively ascending architecture whenever it dares to get in our way. Frankly, that's the way we want to live. Well, why don't we go out and do that in the real world instead of virtually? Well, in case you didn't know, grazing your knees really hurts. Also, we quite like our ankles un-shattered and shoulders firmly in their sockets. That's why we allow some gaming daredevils to do all the parkour for us. Freerunning across a map, soaring over those darn walls feels, and throwing in some neat-looking twirls and flips in a virtual space is what we're all about. So, we're here to highlight some of the best parkour games you can play, if you hate walls and like your ankles as much as we do. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 2:49 PM  Here we are, chums, Cyber Monday. Ahh, how the mighty have fallen. What was once an interesting online addition to the Black Friday feeding frenzy, is now a withered and useless appendage. We all shop online now and Black Friday lasts for at least three months of the year. Well, either that or I'm in some kind of deals post writing, Groundhog Day-esque limbo. Whatever the case may be, Cyber Monday is still a weird 90s relic, like many other things with cyber as a prefix. Cybergoth, for example, a sub-sub-culture whose chief point of relevance in the modern era is having their entire aesthetic appropriated by gaming peripheral manufacturers. You can't move for black and neon doohickeys with LEDs dripping from every orifice. While I'll be the first to argue that anything is better than the beige everything of yesteryear, sometimes you need to be a bit grown-up and accessorise your PC with reliable, understated, no-nonsense black. Like this HyperX Cloud Alpha S headset which is now discounted at Amazon. |

Your desk just isn't big enough or, for some reason, you don't have a grand just sitting around to spend on a monitor. Despite that, you still want to have a little odyssey, as a treat.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 12:41 PM  Back in August, which is obviously an unfathomable length of time ago, the adverts for a mobile game called Merge Mansion went semi-viral on Twitter. The post was not unwarranted. The twists, the turns, the drama: it all makes Merge Mansion seem like it must be bananas. In that original advert, a bride gets out of a taxi to find her house (and presumably husband) is on fire. Her grandmother takes care of her and unlocks the gate to a huge mansion, which the woman begins rennovating. Then out of nowhere the cops come and arrest grandma, and she presses her hand to the inside of the police car window where, Lost-style, she's written a message on the palm of her hand reading "He is alive". I was reminded of it this weekend because I saw a similar ad where a policeman comes to the house to arrest grandma and she escapes on a motorbike, pulling a sick wheelie. |

I hope you and your loved ones are together as you celebrate 90s cyberspace, cyberculture, cyberpunk, hackers, kewl d00dz, and netizens. Perhaps you've visited your subnet neighbours to sing Front Line Assembly carols and share mulled Jolt Cola.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 12:16 PM  While Company Of Heroes 3 isn't due out until next year, this week we'll all be invited to try a slice of the WW2 real-time strategy game's multiplayer. Relic Entertainment today announced a "multiplayer pre-alpha" will start on Tuesday, with several modes and maps to give a taste of battling across Italy for a few days. It'll be free, everyone is invited, and you can start pre-loading the client today. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 11:39 AM  Gamesplanet is the next in a long line of vendors to post up its seasonal offerings - now into its second week of Xmas deals. In other words, this isn't a Cyber Monday sale per se, though if you were already in a shopping mood from all the other Cyber Monday deals floating around you can still avail yourself of some big savings. Last year's festive Gamesplanet sale had some major discounts, and this year is no different. There has been a lot of releases to chew through this year, and with the end of lockdown sapping all of our collective motivation away, it meant that some things could slip through the net. But that's where the sales come in, so we can pick up those games we were eyeing up for cheap. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 11:00 AM  Earlier this month, Platinum Games held a closed beta for their upcoming action RPG, Babylon's Fall. For the most part, feedback from the test looked pretty good, though some players noticed something a familiar - the game reused armour and emotes from Final Fantasy XIV. Producer Yosuke Saito says that's because Square Enix let Platinum borrow them, letting the devs add lots more gear than they had originally planned. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 11:00 AM  It's not something my parents tell their friends, but I am a man who has played every Call Of Duty campaign. I've been in more helicopter crashes than you could believe. I've seen capital ships on fire off the shoulder of Mars, watched sniper scopes glitter in the smog near Brandenburg Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Unless I can record them in a big list, of course, clawing back some of that sunk cost in the process. While the COD campaign no longer holds the high ground at the water cooler, where it once dominated pop culture discussion, it's still a place you can reliably find solo thrills in a world of service shooters. You might be surprised to learn that, despite diminishing returns, some of the best examples are hidden among the duds of the last decade. I've made it my duty to point them out to you - the spotter to your artillery. |

Its something most of us don't think about until its too late. "Oh, I'll just download this other game for later", followed by your computer yelling at you that there's no space left. Cue me legging it to Argos for another overpriced drive. Not to fear - for those of us more prepared than I am, there is a whole host of options available, not least of which are these stylish Samsung T7 SSDs. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 29, 2021 10:22 AM  Rejoice, Oculus Quest 2 bargain hunters. The 128GB version of Oculus' standalone headset is now down to £249 for Cyber Monday, knocking £50 off the price of the headset. We've only spotted the deal at Amazon at the moment, but the good news is that they're still running the £50 / $50 credit voucher promo in additon to the headset saving, which means you save a total of £100 if you buy one today. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, November 29, 2021 2:45 PM  Rare has just announced that Sea of Thieves Season Five will set sail on December 2. A new season is always exciting, because it means a flurry of new cosmetics and collectibles. In Season Five, you'll also be able to perform some new moves. However, the most exciting addition to the game has to be the ability to bury treasure. The list of new content in Sea of Thieves Season Five is long. So, let's hop straight into it. Any treasure item can now be buried in the sand with a few digs. That's pretty cool, but it gets better. When you bury treasure, it creates a custom treasure map for the island you buried it on. That way you can find your loot again when you need to. Alternatively, you can also post your custom treasure maps on the new Quest Board found in all sea posts and outposts. If another crew completes your treasure map, you'll receive the reputation you would have received for turning it in. Plus, a bunch of renown. New features in Sea of Thieves Season Five The... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, November 29, 2021 1:30 PM  Players have been vehemently voicing their concerns over the slow progression of Halo Infinite. Developer 343 Industries has responded in kind, saying it will look into them for some kind of solution. However, it appears that players aren't the only ones feeling the frustration. The head of design for the game, Jerry Hook, briefly took to Twitter, saying that Halo Infinite multiplayer progression will be at the "top of the list with the team." The message followed Hook's brief shout out of indie game, Len's Island. After sharing his love for something non-Halo, he assuaged any replies from fans by saying he's still on the Infinite grind. Hook wrote that he is "feeling everyone's pain on progression," and promises that it will be on the table this week — now that the Thanksgiving holiday is behind us. Fans have been incredibly vocal on the Battle Pass and progression slog of Halo Infinite since its multiplayer launche... |
