Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 12:50 PM  There's a new RPG coming out this year, and it's soccer-themed (which rules). Soccer Story is an open world game with turn based combat and real time soccer matches. Best of all, you'll be able to grab it on the Game Pass once it's released. |

I imagine this dynamic will remain much the same in the wake of the game's latest expansion, which adds the game's first new class since… |

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 1:58 PM  Want a list of all of the Vampire Survivors cheats? It seems like a cruel joke for the roguelike game to add cheat codes this late in development, but here we are. Patch 0.10.0 gives would-be vampire hunters a chance to enter some codes for powerful abilities. To unlock the Vampire Survivors cheats, you need to find the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane, which you can obtain by slaying the Bone Orb in the Bone Zone. Once you pick this up, a new secrets menu will appear on the main menu. Not only can you enter cheats here, but you can also see the conditions for unlocking the hidden Vampire Survivors unlockable characters. Of course, you can also just enter codes to unlock them; we have the full list below.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 1:30 PM  The FFXIV 6.2 release date and full details for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV patch 6.2 update have been detailed in Live Letter 72. The livestream digs in detail into the next big expansion for the critically acclaimed MMORPG, titled Buried Memory. Among the highlights are new story content revolving around the Void, the next stage of the Pandaemonium: Abyssos raid series, and the incredible Animal Crossing style Island Sanctuary that turns the MMO into a crafting and farming game. Final Fantasy XIV patch 6.2 launches on August 23. The general gist of the new patch was previously outlined in Live Letter 71, but this latest livestream sees game director Naoki Yoshida and community producer Toshio Murouchi playing some of the new 6.2 and 6.25 content live, and exploring some of its most anticipated content in even greater depth. Luckily, we're here to break down all the key information for you right here. Addressed first are the new main scenario quests and trial, which seem to be taking place in the Thirteenth Shard (also known as the Void). The trial is also tied to the main story this time, although Yoshi-P insists that its exact nature will be kept secret until patch day to preserve the mystery. We did get a look at a creature that is almost certainly Scarmiglione from Final Fantasy IV, however, which lines up with previous expectations.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:58 PM  Avalanche Software is pushing the Hogwarts Legacy release date out again, the developer announced on Twitter. The Harry Potter RPG was intended to release somewhere in the 2022 holiday season, but now, Avalanche said the plan is to launch the fantasy game on February 10, 2023. The delay will help the team "deliver the best possible game experience," though Avalanche offered no further insights into the reasons for the latest Hogwarts Legacy delay.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:48 PM  Want to know more about the massive Tower of Fantasy map? No doubt, as this stunning free MMORPG lands you in the mysterious - and large - open-world of Aesperia. As you further your journey through this fantasy world, you eventually unlock Hykros and Vera as well, but there's enough to keep you busy in Aesperia alone. When you first start exploring, your minimap appears vague and blurry. Not only can you unlock a clearer world map if you know where to look, but there are also some spectacular, fan-made interactive maps at your fingertips, too. These combined can tell you pretty much everything you need to know about Aesperia and Vera, including where to find Omnium Towers, Spacerifts, Puzzles, Minerals, and more. Here's everything you need to know about the Tower of Fantasy map. RELATED LINKS: Tower of Fantasy codes, Tower of Fantasy characters, How to level up in Tower of Fantasy |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:44 PM  Want to play Rumbleverse crossplay? As you and many colourful, aspiring champions drop into this battle royale game, you may wonder if you can play with your friends on other platforms. On top of that, what if you decide to buy cosmetics in the in-game shop on another platform - do they carry over? The good news is Rumbleverse does support crossplay and has cross-platform progression too. Since the game enables crossplay by default, you also don't need to worry about setting things up to play with your friends. However, if you decide to only play against PC gamers, you can head into the Account tab in the options menu and turn off crossplay. |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:40 PM  The best Destiny 2 Warlock builds have diversified massively since the subclass overhauls gave players more freedom to customise in this FPS game. Now players can not only customise their elemental subclass, armour, weapons, and mods, but they also have the opportunity to choose aspects and fragments, leading to some rather complex character builds. The detailed Warlock builds here are designed to optimise character strengths for specific purposes. They also reflect the state of the current meta in Solar 3.0, considering the nature of the season's available activities and the broader context of the weapons, subclasses, and playstyles currently popular in PvP. Another shake-up is on the way with Destiny 2 season 18, but for now, we have you covered. Here are the best Destiny 2 Warlock builds for PvP and PvE in Solar 3.0.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:33 PM  Need advice on how to beat any of the Cult of the Lamb bosses? It wouldn't be a roguelike game without some punishing challenges along the way, and the bishops that control the regions of The Lands of the Old Faith are no exception. Each bishop is guarded by four apostles, and these makeshift minibosses must be defeated before you can gain entry to the boss room. The apostles have limited attack patterns that are appropriated from the bishop they're guarding, making them useful preparation for taking on the boss. Defeating a Cult of the Lamb boss is incredibly straightforward: simply deal damage to them until their health bar is completely empty. Of course, that's easier said than done, and your capacity to deal damage will depend upon which Cult of the Lamb weapons the random nature of the game deigns to offer you. That said, regardless of whatever build you've ended up with on your crusade, this guide to every Cult of the Lamb boss will allow you to defeat them with ease. RELATED LINKS: Upcoming PC Games |

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:08 PM  Want to know how Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Anomaly Investigations work? In this new mode, you face off against increasingly powerful versions of monsters infected with Qurios, a life-sapping parasite that fled after Gaismagorm's demise. While you could just fight the base forms in Anomaly Quests, Investigations introduces a levelling system where higher levels raise their attack power and give you better quality Sunbreak afflicted materials as a reward for slaying them. If you are familiar with the Guided Lands in Monster Hunter World, then you should be no stranger to the grind required to locate some rarer monsters. So if you want to access the five-star Anomaly Quests and face off against the additional afflicted monster variants in the free title update, you will need to spend some time plucking away at lower-level beasts first. Thankfully, you don't have to worry about Sunbreak Anomaly Investigations hiding encounters against the new monsters in this update, such as Lucent Nargacuga.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:02 PM  Slay the Spire has the in-depth mechanics, the involved planning, the cerebral style of play, but it lacks perhaps the bleakness, the despair, and the sheer mounting dread of an RPG like Darkest Dungeon. A roguelike deckbuilder where the stakes are high, the art is striking, and the story is laced with misery and melancholy – if only such a game existed, perhaps as a demo, available now on Steam. |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 12:19 PM  Recently there have been a few newsworthy Cyberpunk 2077 mods. Most of them have focused on making the game run at more playable frame rates or improving the game's visuals on certain rigs. All vital stuff considering the state in which Cyberpunk 2077 was released in for all but the highest specs. However, we're also beginning to see Cyberpunk 2077 mods that alter the range of facial features, change your looks in small ways after character creation, and even access stuff we were never meant to see. That last one's important as it adds new functionality to the game. What starts with a shove one day could evolve into giving your character superpowers. You should be aware of an important distinction from the get-go. Some of these Cyberpunk 2077 mods do require you to have another mod installed that acts as a base. We highlight which of the following mods require either Cyber Engine Tweaks or the CP77Tools mod to be installed. With that caveat out of the way, here are the best mods for Cyberpunk 2077 that we've found so far. RELATED LINKS: Cyberpunk 2077 review, Cyberpunk 2077 lore & universe, Buy Cyberpunk 2077 |

So, you popular players out there will no longer need to turn down every friend request you receive, or remove old, inactive friends to make space for new ones -- at least, for a little while until you max it out again.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 11:00 AM  Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered gives a fresh polish to what is perhaps the best Spider-Man game ever made. Not only is it exciting to finally get the chance to play this incredible game on PC for the first time, but now it comes with optimised graphics, improved ray-tracing and shadows, and ultra-wide monitor support to help make the experience even better. The release of this game alone is exciting enough news, but combine that with the fact that it coincides with the Fanatical Summer Sale makes this an even bigger deal. Why? Because the game costs $59.99 and Fanatical are rewarding customers who spend over $50 with a $50 Fanatical voucher, plus two free games of your choice (from a selection, with an option to have Fanatical credit, if none of them appeal), plus $3 off the Fanatical Platinum Bundle, and a bonus mystery game. |

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 1:22 PM  Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has shown off the new FFXIV Island Sanctuary mode for the critically acclaimed MMORPG, confirming that it's basically Animal Crossing on PC. The demonstration of the farming game mode took place as part of the latest developer livestream - for all the other information from that event, check out our full Live Letter 72 breakdown. Final Fantasy XIV's Island Sanctuary launches on August 23 alongside patch 6.2, and gives every player their own individual island to explore and build upon. You'll have to complete the events of patch 6.0 - that's the base Endwalker storyline - to gain access to the island, first arriving on one of its beaches. The size of the islands is really something special - and the amount of content included appears to match. Yoshi-P says that the tutorials for the mode alone are likely to take players around two and a half hours to complete, giving you some idea of just how much is on offer. Players can gather resources, turn them into tools and materials, and use these to build structures and organise your facility.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 11:03 AM  Looking for the best Stardew Valley mods? The simulation game's mod scene has been thriving on PC despite it having no official Steam Workshop support. Dedicated modders have been working to alter just about everything available in the game, from adding game-breaking cheats like god mode, to texture overhauls that turn Stardew Valley into a pixelated fairytale. Despite thousands of daily concurrent players still enjoying the base game, Stardew Valley is over seven years old, so we can't blame you for wanting to shake things up. Thankfully, and predictably, modders are there to help, bringing other IPs to the valley, new maps, and even improvements to married life - how do we get that one in real life?

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 7:49 AM  A Diablo Immortal bug is perplexing players of the RPG game once again. This time, the symptom is randomly reduced EXP values obtained from enemies while farming. Some of the free-to-play game's most dedicated grinding fans have been attempting to ascertain what is causing the issue, which is causing farming to become less effective thanks to random inconsistencies in earned experience values. Reddit user staplepies posted their research on the topic to the game's subreddit. Staplepies, who says they are one of the game's top farming experts on the American servers and were among the first players to hit paragon level 150, dug into the mysterious experience bug in detail after spending a while researching the phenomenon. The examples given are for the Shassar Oasis zone, but Staplepies comments that the bug "happens everywhere I've tested to some degree." Due to their high paragon level (generally 13 to 14 levels above the server paragon level), their earned experience is already reduced from the base amount, meaning that they are only expecting to earn 10% of the default amount - this is expected, and is Diablo Immortal's way of keeping a server's population levelling at roughly similar pace.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 12:30 PM  As many of you well know, I rather enjoyed cat adventure Stray recently. As an owner of two tortoiseshells myself, it was right up my alley. I do, however, have a confession to make. When I started seeing other real life cats enjoying the game alongside their respective humans, I began to feel sad and a bit left out. You see, my cats Maple and Midna (still!) haven't shown any interest in Stray whatsoever, not even flicking up their ears in response to the cat's in-game meow. I'm not gonna lie, it kinda broke my heart a little bit. However, I'm beginning to think their (clear and apparent) hatred of video games goes further than simple disinterest. I was playing A Plague Tale: Requiem for the first time last week, a game famous for its swarms of screeching rats, and STILL nothing. They love hunting rats and bringing them home to leave as little presents for us on our back door step. Heck, they'll even wig out and go into prowl mode when they hear them scrabbling away underneath our floorboards (yes, we do have a rat problem in our house). But clearly, their ice cold little murder hearts are unmoved by their video game equivalents. Is this what it's like when your children reject your hobbies and go and sulk in their rooms for the rest of the day? Because it sure does feel like it. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 11:54 AM  "Metroidvania" is a terrible phrase that gets in the way of its own definition and I hate it. It does, however, still apply to Zapling Bygone. Describing it in less mechanical terms could make it sound creepy. You're a spore of an all-consuming hivemind, dropped on an unfamiliar planet to assimilate it. You move by skittering about on wobbly green tentacles, leaping and climbing and clinging and lashing out at living things with them, then absorbing the green muck that bursts out, and periodically consuming a creature powerful enough to be worth assimilating. And wearing its skull in the centre of your tentacle mass, because why not. |

Capcom will have a significant presence at Tokyo Game Show 2022. The company has revealed initial details for its appearance at TGS 2022. It will have a physical demo booth at Makuhari Messe and online presentations that stream worldwide. Capcom's booth at the physical venue will feature playable demos for Street Fighter 6, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, Exoprimal, and Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. While its booth used to have an event stage in the pre-pandemic years, the 2022 edition will have the presentations delivered exclusively through online streams. A pre-recorded Capcom TGS 2022 Online Program that covers multiple titles will air on Thursday, September 15, 2022, at 23:00 JST (10 AM ET). The company will also hold another live stream dedicated solely to Street Fighter 6 on Friday, September 16, 2022, at 24:00 JST (11 AM ET). Capcom's Tokyo Game Show 2021 presentation was dedicated entirely to Monster Hunter Rise and its Sunbreak expansion. While the company had a small booth at the limited physical venue, it only featured a demo for the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise and a rideable Palamute attraction. While a physical demo for Sunbreak will appear in the 2022 edition, Capcom will also focus on other franchises like Street Fighter in the upcoming event. Tokyo Game Show 2022 will take place physically at Makuhari Messe and digitally with online streams on September 15-18, 2022.

Another arcade center formerly owned by Sega will soon close its doors for good. Genda GiGO Entertainment will shut down the GiGO Akihabara 4 arcade center on September 25, 2022, at 8 PM JST. In its press release, the company noted that its lease agreement with the building owner is expiring. The company decided to shut down the arcade facility without renewing the lease. It will also move any services the facility is handling, such as Ichiban Kuji lotteries, to the No. 5 building. The outgoing facility's Twitter account shared a map showing the company's arcade facilities in Akihabara. The number 2 does not exist because Sega closed its Akihabara No. 2 building in late August 2020. Following the closures of the No. 2 and 4 buildings, there will be no more Sega/GiGO arcade centers located south of the Akihabara Station. While No. 1, 3, and 5 are still active for the time being, all of them are situated north of the station.
For the record, GiGO arcade centers used to have the Sega name in the past. Genda announced the gradual acquisition of Sega Entertainment in December 2020, which it completed in early 2022 by renaming Sega's arcade centers to GiGO. GiGO Akihabara No. 4 will close on September 25, 2022. Genda GiGO Entertainment still has the No. 1, 3, and 5 arcade centers in active operation for the foreseeable future.

One of the final events of Genshin Impact Version 2.8, Evermotion Mechanical Painting, will start on August 12, 2022. It will run until August 22, 2022. As mentioned previously when HoYoVerse first previewed Phase II's events, rewards will include Primogems, a Furnishing, Hero's Wit, Weapon Ascension Materials, and Mora. In order to participate in Evermotion Mechanical Painting, you need to be over AR 18 and complete Prologue: Act III. The event itself is a puzzle. You can get a new part every day for the first six days of the event. When you restore the Mechanical Painting Parts, you need to make sure the gears can interact with each other in a way that they can activate the painting. After you finish assembling the Parts, you can put them together to make the painting. Version 2.8 is the final update to Genshin Impact before Sumeru launches in Version 3.0. HoYoVerse showed off an animated trailer, with cameos from Sumeru characters such as Tighnari, Collei, and Dehya. As they already have splash art, it is likely that the first Sumeru characters players will be able to obtain are Tighnari, Collei, and Dori. Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Evermotion Mechanical Painting will run from August 12 to 22, 2022 in Genshin Impact.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 1:45 PM  It looks like we won't be heading to Hogwarts just yet. The upcoming RPG set in the Wizarding World has had its release date pushed back. After a delay, Hogwarts Legacy will now release on February 10, 2023. This was announced earlier today on the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account. The tweet states that the developer needs "more time to deliver the best possible game experience." This comes alongside a short video from Chandler Wood, Avalanche Software's community manager, who confirms the delay. On the bright side, we finally have a concrete date for Hogwarts Legacy. While it's always disappointing to see games get delayed, we're at a point where this is fairly commonplace in game development. The Hogwarts Legacy delay only only an extra two months to the wait time, so it isn't really all that bad. Hogwarts Legacy got its initial release window in March during the PlayStation State of Play, where we saw over 20 minutes of gamepl... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 1:15 PM  Designing your ideal university is a time-consuming but fun task. Two Point Campus gives you the tools to envision and create the campus of your dreams, but it isn't always clear how to use them. For example, resizing or making non-rectangular rooms isn't as obvious as it probably should be. To help you out, we've set up this handy guide explaining how to increase room capacity in Two Point Campus. Note: We'll have a Two Point Campus guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned. Increasing room capacity in Two Point Campus Increasing the size of a room isn't difficult to do. The hard bit is finding the menu where the option is hidden away.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 1:00 PM  Have you ever wanted to play as the spirit of a toymaker as he guides toy soldiers through a tiny door? What? That question is oddly specific? Regardless, you do just that in the upcoming game Tin Hearts, a first-person, Lemmings-esque puzzler with a nostalgic aesthetic and some fairly unique mechanics. You may have actually played the game before, as a prologue (that's no longer available) was released back in 2018. The game is supposed to launch in the near future, and I got to check out an early part of it. I tell ya, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Coming to us from former Fable developers, Tin Hearts is very straightforward at the start. At first, all I could do was move the camera, open a box, and pick up and place objects on pegs. Opening the box results in toy soldiers jumping out and walking. Each level's goal is simple: get a certain number of soldiers through a door. But the soldiers don't think and don't take orders. They walk in... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 12:30 PM  Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season Four shook up the meta with the launch of the mid-season update. The H4 Blixen which has been dominating the close-range meta for a long time was hit with a nerf, leading to another submachine gun taking the top spot. However, taking a look through the patch notes isn't an easy tasks. Figuring out which weapons have been buffed and nerfed can be a challenge, because the developer references them vaguely. Matching up Assault Rifle Hotel and Submachine Gun Alpha with the correct guns can be confusing. Call of Duty content creator XVI tweeted the developers asking them why they refer to weapons in generic terms rather than using the actual names that the guns are known by. Also, they outline that presenting the information in this way can be confusing and they are trying to get to the bottom of the reason why. Call of Duty weapon names are under legal restraints XVI recently shared the responses they received on the Warzone subreddit. The ... |
