PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 9:04 AM  Riot Games has revealed in Valorant's patch 4.07 notes that the team are nerfing the Bulldog and Stinger. While their damage will remain untouched, you won't be able to use the quick-burst mechanic that's become popular among some players. The firing inputs on the pair now have a delay when you bring them up to aim down sights. Riot explains that this will prevent players from gaining burst mode accuracy before entirely raising those guns. The hope is that this change will make you think twice before switching to burst firing mid-combat. It's not all bad, though, as you can still begin firing immediately while swapping back to the full-auto or hip-fire modes. Riot has also tweaked ability-based weapons like chamber guns alongside Neon, Jett, and Raze's ultimates so they can be input-queued to equip after your current action ends. Elsewhere, you've got bug fixes for agents. Yoru can no longer exploit an interaction with ropes to use a weapon immediately after his ultimate ends, spikes can no longer be defused while channelling abilities are active, and Skye's Seekers can break through destructible doors again in Ascent.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 8:05 AM  Trying to find the definitive Apex Legends weapons tier list? Apex Legends may host a smaller pool of players to the usual battle royale, with 60 players instead of 100, but you'll still need a fine selection of modded guns to ensure that "you are the champion" screen rolls. Breaking down the Apex Legends weapons tier list can be tricky due to the variety of attachments in the battle royale game. The attachments in Apex Legends can completely transform a weapon, taking a gun from the lowest tier right to the very top. We'll highlight which weapons need attachments to ensure you get the most out of these guns. Our weapons tier list assumes each gun is fully kitted out with the best attachments. We've laid waste to many training dummies - and practise mannequins, too - to bring you a weapons tier list that dives into what makes every gun tick, what ammo you need, and what mods will best optimise their performance to ensure that you too can become a legend. So, here are the Apex Legends weapons tier list. RELATED LINKS: Apex Legends characters guide, Apex Legends skins, Apex Legends map guide |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 7:32 AM  A new player survey from Blizzard reveals a possible World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Classic price point - and the MMO game developer is seemingly hinting at microtransactions too for the next WoW Classic expansion. Last month, players reported that Blizzard had sent them surveys to gauge their interest in a possible World of Warcraft Classic version of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Previously, Blizzard did the same thing for Burning Crusade, which was subsequently released a year later. There's now another survey (via WoWhead) that directly talks about "Wrath of the Lich King Classic" and pricing for a possible expansion. Blizzard seems to be deciding between two package options, and additional DLC to go with it. The lower $29.99 bundle features a boost, character transfer, pet, a month's free play, and a Lich King-themed mount usable in both modern and classic World of Warcraft. The $49.99 bundle presumably features all of that, further boosts - including one for the Deathknight - and a toy that triggers various cosmetic effects.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 7:10 AM  Halo MCC may be 'unsupported' on the Steam Deck, but plenty of players have been able to get the game's campaigns up and running on Valve's handheld (albeit on their lonesome). However, it appears that the most recent update to the game has rendered the FPS game unplayable on the portable gaming PC and other Linux Proton systems. Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) seems to be the culprit in breaking Halo MCC on Deck, but not in the way you might think. According to GamingOnLinux, the introduction of a new directory and files that should help get EAC up and running on the platform has actually "broken the game on Linux Proton / Steam Deck." GamingOnLinux notes there's still likely work to be done in getting the anti-cheat software working on the Steam Deck, and there's thankfully a way to get Halo MCC working again in the meantime. For now, players can delete the 'easyanticheat' directory in the installation folder, which should restore functionality to the level it was prior to the update.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 6:22 AM  With the release of Ash, Apex Legends players now have 20 Legends to choose from when taking on the battle royale known as the Apex Games. Each Legend has their own skills, playstyle, and personality, with plenty of choice for every type of player, whether you like to be aggressive, defensive, or offensive to the senses (cough – Caustic – cough). Your ideal Legend pick depends on your strengths and weaknesses – your experience, gamesense, movement skills, and aim all factor in, as does your squad composition and whether you're playing with friends or a team of strangers. That said, although all the characters are relatively balanced, there are some Legends who have pulled away from the pack due to their powerful abilities, and some who are more niche picks. Our Apex Legends tier list aims to give you a quick look at the current Legend meta. We've ordered the Legends here in order of general effectiveness, to help you decide who to play if you're after the big win. We're aiming this list at the average player who has a reasonable grasp of the game, but we'll also point out the best characters for absolute beginners, and mention the ones you'll see in top tier competitive play.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 6:14 AM  The Halo MCC update for April 2022 is here and it adds some big new features to the FPS game collection, including the recently teased Halo ODST Flood Firefight mode and the introduction of Halo 3 crossplay. Plus, 343 Industries adds that Halo mod support for "every game in the MCC" is happening this year. Phew. The Halo MCC April 2022 patch notes are here, and 343 goes into a lot of detail about the new features in a Steam blog post. Of course, the biggest new addition is 'Floodfight', which adds waves of Halo's zombie-like Flood to ODST's enjoyable co-op survival Firefight mode. The Flood are shrouded in a creepy Silent Hill-like fog, can ride vehicles, and even infect you or your teammates to turn players to their side. The update also includes UI improvements, new skulls and medals, custom game browser support, and tweaks to Forge and mod tools. Another big addition is campaign co-op crossplay (cool) for both Halo 3 and Halo ODST, so PC and Xbox players can finish the fight together - which is important, seeing as Halo Infinite won't even get co-op until partway into Season 2.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 9:15 AM  Looking for the best Genshin Impact Yae Miko build? The popular pink-haired priestess was finally introduced into the RPG game during the Genshin Impact 2.5 update, with a debut Genshin Impact banner that ran alongside her bestie Raiden Shogun. To help you figure out how to play Yae Miko, we've put together a guide to the best Yae Miko build and team composition. She is a powerful Electro DPS character, capable of dealing substantial damage. However, she requires a lot of energy for her burst, so if you're planning to take on the most difficult content, we recommend running her as a sub-DPS alongside a good "battery" - a character who generates lots of energy for their team. There are several different weapons and artifact sets that work well for Yae, and our recommendations vary depending on how many of her constellations you've unlocked. If you're looking to pull for her then we recommend checking our Yae Miko ascension materials guide so you can start stockpiling everything you'll need to get her levelled up.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 7:03 AM  We can all agree that ghost games are better played together, right? That way, you can work together with your pals online and if things go south, sacrifice them and run away to safety. However, some ghost games like Phasmophobia, aren't just ghost games, they can also be detective games and survival games, so it begs the question – are there other ghost games like Phasmophobia? There's a lot to love in this horror game, whether that's the online co-op, the old-school investigative work, or the increasingly angry ghosts who don't want you messing with their haunt. So, we've put together a mishmashed list of ghost games and games like Phasmophobia, that have either all or at least a few of Phasmophobia's key ingredients. If you enjoy piecing together clues while evading evil spirits, surviving with your team, and straightening your deerstalker as you hunt for clues and deduce hidden messages, then you've come to the right place. Here are the best ghost games like Phasmophobia on PC. RELATED LINKS: The best horror games on PC, The best VR games |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 5:13 AM  The mid '90s were an auspicious time for Bethesda. The studio cut its teeth making sports and licensed Terminator games before moving into the (at the time) niche territory of RPGs Bethesda's upper management were initially wary, but The Elder Scrolls: Arena was enough of a success to get a sequel approved, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, which struck gold for the small studio. The pioneering open-world game was a hit, so work on its sequel, Morrowind, started immediately after, and Bethesda was seemingly on the path to becoming the RPG juggernaut it is today. But there are two forgotten Elder Scrolls games that came first. Rather than doubling down on what worked so well for Daggerfall, Bethesda took its new flagship series off-piste. An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire (1997) and The Elder Scrolls Adventures - Redguard (1998) were games whose titles hinted that they'd be the start of new Elder Scrolls spin-off series - expanding the IP into a genre-spanning saga. On a leaflet inside the Battlespire box, Bethesda co-founder Christopher Weaver even wrote that "Battlespire is the beginning of a hybrid genre based on your input." The question of why today in 2022 we're not eagerly anticipating the latest Elder Scrolls 'Legend' or 'Adventure' can probably best be answered by the fact that neither game was that great. But given that these games contributed to the much-anticipated Morrowind being delayed and - according to some - a financial downturn for Bethesda in the late '90s, perhaps a bigger question is how and why they came to exist in the first place?

Not, like, groundbreaking or anything, but hey, not everything needs to be. Biota has some platforming, some shooting, some bits where you drive mechs and submarines.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, April 12, 2022 8:10 AM  I have now received most (but not quite all) of my stuff after moving, so I have a TV and two (2) consoles to play games on. One thing I've been playing recently is Ghostwire: Tokyo, a ghost huntin' action game that's a bit less weird and a bit more "kind of like an Ubisoft game" than I was expecting. But I like Ubisoft games just fine, so I'm having a blast - plus there are still some clutch ghost fights to be hand when I run out of finger-ammo for my magic hands. I am extra delighted by the animals, though. For whatever reason, they are unaffected by the evil fog that has swept through Tokyo and turned everyone into spirits, so there are a few dogs and cats just sitting around and (and this is the good bit) you can read their thoughts. |

Nintendo released a Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes trailer, and it focuses on a new character joining the cast. People will follow Shez, a new mercenary who fights alongside the characters from Three Houses. Things begin with Shez fighting another familiar person in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Byleth is in the middle of a duel with the newcomer. After that, it confirms Shez is the avatar for the player. Like Byleth, people can choose Shez's gender when the game begins. After showing off the original character, the Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes trailer shows the characters in each path Shez can join. Edelgard's is the Scarlet Blaze. That side also includes Hubert. Dimitri's route is called Azure Gleam. Dedue will fight alongside players there. Finally, Claude is a part of Golden Wildfire. Hilda will also be available in this route. Other cameos here include an appearance from Flayn and Gatekeeper. As a reminder, this is a follow-up to the original Fire Emblem Warriors. That means the traditional, turn-based, tactical gameplay is replaced with Musou fights. You choose a character and cut through hordes of enemies instead. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will come to the Nintendo Switch on June 24, 2022. The post Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Trailer Introduces a New Character appeared first on Siliconera. |

A new art exhibit showcasing the works of Fate/Extra illustrator Arco Wada will appear between July and August 2022 at the Matsuya Ginza department store in Tokyo, Japan. The event will also mark the 12th anniversary of the PlayStation Portable game, which falls on July 22, 2022.

Final Fantasy XIV Producer Naoki Yoshida, also known as Yoshi-P, now has an asteroid named after him. A Final Fantasy XIV fan posted on Reddit, informing users on the board that they had the opportunity to name an asteroid. The name they picked was none other than YoshidaNaoki. The user also posted a GIF of the asteroid in orbit, alongside proof that they did in fact name an asteroid after Final Fantasy XIV Producer Yoshi-P. [Thanks, Game Watch!] Users in the thread mention that the name seems appropriate given the events leading up to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and the general lore surrounding the game. Fans can check the orbit of the asteroid through NASA's website. In an interview with Famitsu in March 2021, Yoshida shared his thoughts on the future of Final Fantasy XIV. He revealed that there was a feeling of catharsis for him once Endwalker was released. Alongside that, he stated that it was an emotional experience for him. The reason mentioned is the nature of Final Fantasy XIV being an MMORPG, and that players inhabit the world and have created their own individual experiences. Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.1 will see the beginning of a new chapter for the Warrior of Light according to Yoshida. This includes the introduction of new characters and new plot threads. The patch will also introduce new raids and content for players to experience. Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

The HD edition of Mahoutsukai no Yoru has a release date set for December 2022 in Japan. The announcement from developer Type-Moon and publisher Aniplex also came with good news for international fans: The release will support English- and Chinese-language (both Traditional and Simplified) subtitles. The announcement did not specify if the added language support would be available at launch or added later via patch, DLC, or in the form of localized regional releases. [Thanks, PR Times!] In addition to the release date, Aniplex showed off some Mahoutsukai no Yoru art, as well as the game's logo.
Mahoutsukai no Yoru, also known as Mahoyo or Witch on the Holy Night, is a visual novel based on the 1996 story by Type-Moon co-founder Kinoko Nasu. The story laid the groundwork for the setting of many key Type-Moon releases like Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night. It stars Aoko Aozaki, the mentor of Tsukihime protagonist Tohno Shiki, and explores her high school years as a budding mage. Initially an outsider to the secretive world of magecraft, she lives and trains with taciturn girl Alice Kuonji. The upcoming rerelease aims to add technical improvements and new features to the original 2012 PC edition of Mahoutsukai no Yoru. These include HD-resolution artwork and full voice acting. With additional languages officially confirmed, Mahoutsukai no Yoru will be the first major Type-Moon visual novel to receive an official localization. To date, Type-Moon's best-known works, Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night, do not have official localizations for their source games, though anime and manga adaptations, as well as spinoffs like Fate/Grand Order and Fate/Extra, have been released globally. Type-Moon's press release confirmed the voice cast, as well.
