PCGamesN Monday, August 22, 2022 6:23 AM  Looking for the best KG M40 loadout in Warzone? The KG M40 boasts the second highest damage per shot in the assault rifle category, yet it's surprisingly accurate when fired from mid to long range. With a fire rate above 600 RPM, you might struggle to control the weapon's recoil at first, but this can be managed with enough practice. Using our best KG M40 loadout, we can bolster the weapon's accuracy even further to turn this gun into a low recoil monster from a distance. We've taken advantage of the balance changes in Warzone season 4 Reloaded to create a highly accurate KG M40 with very little recoil.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 22, 2022 11:23 AM  I love it when a bit of internet rumour mongering gets instantly squashed by the powers that be, don't you? This time, it's in relation to a Blade game that Ubisoft are definitely not making. Rumours started circulating online yesterday when a YouTuber posted a video speculating about what possible games will be shown at the Disney and Marvel games showcase taking place next month. Ubisoft making a game based on Marvel's sword-wielding vampire Blade was one of them, and because the internet is the internet, everyone went wild. Today, though, Ubisoft have already killed the rumour dead in a single tweet. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 22, 2022 10:53 AM  Not to paint them as particularly fierce open-world rivals, but jumping into Saints Row after a week spent with Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered felt like being hurled backward in time. While Deep Silver Volition's "what if millennials, but crime" reboot is colourful and often quite pretty, you can tell it's not nearly as interested in cutting edge visuals or contemporary PC tech trappings as the Spidey remaster is. Ray tracing? Yes but only for ambient occlusion. Upscaling? Never heard of it, officer. The upside - besides Santo Ileso being a generally nice place to visit, as Alice Bee found in her Saints Row review - is that it's playable on low-end and luxury hardware alike. And, to its credit, there's a healthy list of customisable graphics options too. I've therefore embraced the past, and spent hours in testing to find out how you can tweak Saints Row's settings for the best possible performance. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 22, 2022 10:00 AM  There's a long-standing theory among the Warhammer community that the chaos wastes at the globe's south pole house a peculiar breed of beastmen in the form of evil, monstrous penguins. The theory is based on a world with similar geography to our own, and the tendency of the ruinous powers to morph local fauna into mockeries of their previous forms. No ping-gors show themselves as I trawl the southern wastes as stealthy chameleon-skink Oxyotl, but I find myself thinking about them all the same. Noot for the noot god, the blasted crags seem to whisper. Fish for the fish throne. Evil penguins or not, all things seem possible with Immortal Empires, the combined landmass of the Total War: Warhammer trilogy into a single sandbox map, vast and varied in its climates, landmarks, and inhabitants. Creative Assembly have already dug deep into dusty stacks of White Dwarf to flesh out footnotes into full factions, and as the list of obvious additions dwindle, things can only get wilder and more creative. For now, we have one very big map stuffed with each faction and lord from three massive strategy games, creaking and occasionally buckling under the weight of its own promise. But it works. There's a breadth of technical and balance issues still to solve, but the Immortal Empires beta is substantially more stable, playable, and enjoyable than I dared to hope it would be for at least another six months. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 22, 2022 10:00 AM  The Saints Row series started off as a sort of rival to Grand Theft Auto, an action-adventure crime sim about working your way up the ranks of a street gang to become the boss. It quickly diverged to become less realistic and more impossibly bombastic, and niched down into giant dildo bats, aliens, reincarnation, and so on. The series has gone to outer space and to hell, so if you're rebooting the series that doesn't leave you many places to go except... backwards. Saints Row (2022 edition) is back to being a sort of Saints Row again, but also still trying to appeal to people who loved the characters and dick jokes and cartoon carnage of the Saints Row of 2013. If I was being reductive, I'd say it's Saints Row by way of Watch Dogs 2. It isn't bad. It's fun, in fact, but it isn't really doing anything new, either, and I think that's a shame. |

The 3.0 Update for Genshin Impact lands in a matter of days. When it does, most players will probably want a character who can use Dendro, the new element being introduced alongside Sumeru. Chances are, their first will be Collei, Genshin Impact 3.0's initial 4-Star Dendro character. That's because 4-Star characters are much less rare in the game's Wish gacha system. Additionally, update's first event will reward players with their own Collei, free of charge. To that end, HoYoVerse gave players a look at Collei's talents and abilities via a post on the official Twitter account. HoYoVerse uploaded a new Genshin Impact Collei character demo video, too. Collei is a rookie Forest Ranger, and is voiced in English by Christina Costello, who plays Acai in Cosmic Wonders and WA2000 in Girls' Frontline's anime adaptation. In Japanese she's voiced by Ryoko Maekawa, who plays Tenka Osaki in Idolm@ster Shiny Colors and Hanabi in Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-nGm9BmKtE Unlike her mentor Tighnari, who's kitted out as a burst damage dealer, Collei is more of an off-field support damage dealer. She specializes in creating zones of Dendro energy to hurt foes even when she's not physically present. Her Elemental Skill throws out a boomerang-like Floral Ring that travels forward and returns to Collei, damaging enemies in the path with Dendro. Her Elemental Burst, Trump-Card Kitty, throws out the doll Cuilein-Anbar, which creates a zone of constant Dendro damage. Her doll is like Amber's Baron Bunny, which taunts enemies and then explodes for Pyro damage. Collei debuts in Genshin Impact 3.0 "The Morn A Thousand Roses Brings", which launches on August 24, 2022. She'll be on both Event Wish banners, and also obtainable as a reward for completing the "Graven Innocence" event. The game is available on mobile platforms, PS4, PS5, and PC.

NetEase has issued an apology after users criticized an Identity V promotional video raising awareness about panda conservation. The issue was related to a specific cut in the video (now removed) about how red pandas have become endangered due to poaching. The cut featured artwork of a man with a red panda's head raising his arms with the words "Don't shot" [sic] underneath. Users online noticed that the cut was edited from a poster by artist Micah Bazant. The poster created for Forward Together in relation to 2018's March for Our Lives campaign. The reference was apparently made without permission. NetEase removed the video and issued the apology below. In it, NetEase apologized to players, and said that the "inappropriate texture stickers" were not detected due to a "less rigorous" review. https://twitter.com/GameIdentityV/status/1561229744829386752 The video is no longer available on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, or any other social media platforms it originally appeared on. Though the video disappeared from accounts in other languages, as well, only the English-language Identity V Twitter account acknowledged the removal through the apology. Users online criticized NetEase not just for editing an original piece without permission, but also for misappropriating the art's purpose. The original post was intended specifically to protest gun violence. Bazant did state that they "wanted to honor Black youth who have been fighting gun violence, not just from school shootings, but from the police & white supremacists." This video was part of NetEase's ongoing collaboration with the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. As part of the campaign NetEase will release two Identity V skins – one for Gardener and one for "Little Girl" – that are panda-themed. Proceeds from the Gardener skin will go to the Chengdu Research Base, though those the "Little Girl" skin will not. Identity V is available on mobile devices and Windows PC.

A trailer appeared during the 2022 Pokemon World Championships that showcases Cyclizar, which is one of the new Pokemon that will appear in Scarlet and Violet. It is a Normal/Dragon type, and you can use it like a mount in-game. Like the name implies, it is a combination between a reptile and a bicycle or motorcycle. https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1561382137638551554 In lore, Cyclizar has lived with people since ancient times. It has always served as a mount, especially since it enjoys the warmth that riders provide. The fastest it can go with a trainer on its back is 70 mph. There has been speculation online that Cyclizar is a pre-evolution of Miraidon and Koraidon, which are the new legendaries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. A new move that Cyclizar has is Shed Tail. Shed Tail sacrifices the user's HP to create a substitute and then switches place with another party Pokemon. It is unknown if Shed Tail is a signature move to Cyclizar and any Pokemon that may be in its evolutionary line.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 22, 2022 1:15 PM  In just a matter of weeks, both the first and second entries in Slightly Mad Studio's Project CARS lineup will be delisted permanently. The official announcement comes from EA, Codemasters, and Slightly Mad, who posted the announcement on the official Project CARS Twitter. The reason for the delisting is not out of the ordinary. It's all due to expiring licenses, specifically licenses for vehicles and tracks. As a result, the original Project CARS will be removed from all storefronts on October 3. And before that, Project CARS 2 will be removed on September 21. End of the line We've seen this happen time and again with other titles and franchises where the digital edition of the games are removed after about three or so years.

The game launches for both Steam and Stadia on the same date of September 29. The game is a solo and co-op twin-stick shooter, though clearly the major draw here is going to be the co-op. As a result of its all-ages aesthetic, From Space should make it an accessible title for a family gathering. I can imagine this playing very well on the Steam Deck, if you are lucky enough to have gotten your hands on one of those. Cute apocalypse Visually, From Space is quite charming with its bobble-headed characters and the neon color palette of the enemies. It is reminiscent of Alien Swarm if it had been made for a younger audience. The gameplay looks decently engaging with a variety of characters and weapons to choose. The family-friendly art style shouldn't mean a dumbed-down game. Rocket launchers, mini-guns, and flamethrow... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 22, 2022 10:05 AM  I'll preface our Saints Row review by saying that I'm not the biggest fan of Volition's open-world, action-adventure series. While previous entries had dozens of jokes and zany moments that made me chuckle, I still felt that they lacked the necessary "oomph" to make the experience memorable. Fast forward to the present, and the newest entry is set to release on the Epic Games Store. Mind you, it's a reboot of the franchise, veering away from the over-the-top wackiness and raunchiness. In some ways, Saints Row does succeed in providing a refreshing take on a long-running formula, but it's also held back by a number of flaws. We're not friends… we're family The story is often one of the biggest hurdles in open-world games.

Saints Row falls in the m... |
