Ubisoft's official foray into the world of Non-Fungible Tokens has not had the best start; the announcement was trashed by fans, and the company's "garbage" NFTs were largely ignored upon release. In a new interview with Australian site Finder, though, Ubisoft say the blame for this lies with us, not them.

The metaverse is supposed to be the future, so it's got the world buzzing with excitement. Hilariously, though, the prominence of the "futuristic" buzzword has caused old footage of digital worlds to explode on social media, largely driven by the fact that nobody really understands what the hell the metaverse actually…

     Call of Duty: Vanguard's latest patch fixes Paradise spawns and tweaks perks

A small patch has arrived for Call of Duty: Vanguard, fixing some of the ongoing issues in the WW2 multiplayer game. While this patch doesn't address all of the complaints players have lodged in the past month, it does make some welcome changes to map spawns and perks that will hopefully go toward making Season Two a smoother ride once it arrives after the two-week delay.

First up, the multiplayer map Paradise has gotten some attention, specifically to its spawns. Sledgehammer says it's adjusted spawn points to address player feedback about spawning in right next to enemies, so hopefully that'll be a rarer occurrence going forward. The team has also fixed a spawn point that would occasionally lead to players falling through the map - not the way to get off to a strong start in any match. Finally, some invisible collision has been added to Paradise to "prevent spawn trapping from one spawn point to the other."

The Fortified perk works a bit differently as of this latest update. More accurately, perhaps, it protects against different attacks than it did before. Now, Fortified grants protection against mortar barrage, warmachine, flamenaut explosions, ammo box explosions, gammon bombs, and satchel charges. However, it no longer provides protection from the goliath, glide bombs, bombing runs, fire bombing runs, or direct hits from launcher weapons.

     Vampire Survivors Steam batsThose who have checked social media within the past few weeks or so may have heard people discussing a game called Vampire Survivors. When it first came out on Steam last December, Vampire Survivors did not gain much attention from the gaming public. However, the game's popularity began to surge dramatically this month. It amassed around 1,000 simultaneous players come January 6, and just today, it managed to reach a 24-hour peak of over 35,000 concurrent players. At least partially thanks to the game's low price of $2.99 USD on Steam, Vampire Survivors has become the next surprise hit on the platform, to the point where the developers plan on porting the game over to both Mac and Linux in the near future. For those wondering what the gameplay of Vampire Survivors entails, it functions as a top-down shooter of sorts. You have to survive as long as you can against procedurally-generated hordes of Gothic-themed monsters. Players have to "get as much gold as possible ...

     Atelier Sophie 2 releaseThe Atelier series includes some of the more confusing and obscure JRPGs I can think of. Every time I see an Atelier game, there's a new one sitting right next to it. So it only seems right that Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream is releasing this month. It's coming out less than two years after the last iteration. Publisher KOEI TECMO and developer GUST Studios released tons of new information today about some of the game's new mechanics, including the "improved battle system." While many Atelier games feature self-contained stories, Atelier Sophie 2 follows characters we've seen before. Sophie will set out on an adventure to find her missing friend, while also learning more about the mysterious world she's in: Erde Wiege. Reportedly, monsters in this game will have appeared in the previous Atelier entries, so fans should easily recognize what's returning. Additionally, the new battle system in Atelier Sophie 2 wi...

     yooka laylee epic games storeI love a good platformer, so much so, that sometimes, I close my eyes at night and hope I can get a really great one for free. When I opened my eyes this morning, my dreams had come true, as the Epic Games Store will give away Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair for free next week. Okay, I don't really do all that, but I'm not lying. The smash platforming hit from the Donkey Kong Country team will indeed be free next week. Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away a full game for free to anyone who has its launcher installed, and next week is no different. Those who grew up playing side-scrollers like Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country should take a dive and download the launcher. Side-scrolling platformers are a rarity nowadays, so getting Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair free on the Epic Games Store is a chance for you to relive your childhood a bit.   Side-scrolling fun This 2.5D platformer (3D graphics with a 2D perspective) isn't just your ru...

     Apex Legends Raiders Collection Event CosmeticsAs any Steam user knows, there's always another sale right around the corner. Well, not even around the corner. We're already in the corner, as the Steam Lunar New Year 2022 sale is now live. The sale will last from today until February 3. That means we have a whole week to glance at our carts with uncertainty before the sale ends and we have to remove all the things we couldn't pull the trigger on. Seriously, I don't need to buy anything else right now, Steam! Let's all be cool! Oh, hey, 23 items on my wishlist are discounted. What was I saying? As with any other sale, Steam's Lunar New Year 2022 sale offers a great many games from all over the site. Highlighted deals for today include asymmetric horror game Dead by Daylight for $10 USD, Skyrim: Special Edition for $16 USD, and Apex Legends, which is free… Why is this taking up one of the top three spaces? Your guess is as good as mine. All joking aside, the game has a bunch of its packs 30...
