There's already a fix for an issue with the Gotham Knights PC version according to the superhero game's developer, WB Games Montréal.

     The best Lachmann-762 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Searching for the Modern Warfare 2 best Lachmann-762 loadout? This battle rifle is a monster at long range, equipping players with a powerful weapon that can pick off enemies in an instant. There are some issues with the weapon's recoil control, but this can easily be addressed by using the correct attachments.

The Lackmann-762 also gives you the option to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes - we recommend semi-automatic as the gun can go all over the place when firing off multiple rounds. This weapon has one of the fastest time-to-kill speeds we've seen in the FPS game, making it one of the best Modern Warfare 2 guns available.

     The best Kastov-74u loadout in Modern Warfare 2

The Modern Warfare 2 best Kastov-74u loadout is a powerful option that combines the mobility of an SMG with the strength of an assault rifle. What makes this weapon so intriguing is that it can be used as a primary or secondary weapon, as long as you equip the Overkill Modern Warfare 2 perk.

As a primary weapon, you can focus on close-range encounters as you skulk around buildings looking for easy targets. You could also pair the Kastov-74u with the best M16 loadout to take down any enemies that try to flank you. No matter how you decide to use the weapon, any level-ups you acquire using the Kastov-74u will unlock weapons and additional attachments thanks to the updated Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith.

     The best M16 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Blast enemies away using the Modern Warfare 2 best M16 loadout by utilising its incredible one-shot-kill potential. Most players tend to shy away from rifles that shoot in bursts, but if you can get past this, the M16 can be lethal in the right hands. There's very little recoil to worry about using our setup, making it dead simple to land your initial burst.

The Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system allows players to access this weapon just by leveling up the 556 Icarus LMG. Not only do you earn numerous attachments that can be used on the LMG, you also unlock entirely new weapons like the M16 receiver. The Call of Duty blog recently confirmed there are 33 weapon platforms, each containing six unique guns to unlock. Here are the attachments you need to build the best M16 loadout in Modern Warfare 2.

     The best MP5 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

The best Modern Warfare 2 MP5 loadout is of course down to personal preference, but you've come to the right place if you want to know where to start if you want to use this gun in the FPS game. Renamed the Lachmann Sub in Modern Warfare 2, the MP5 has long been one of the best guns in Call of Duty multiplayer, so it's worth knowing the best attachments to unlock for it.

Due to some changes between the beta and the Modern Warfare 2 release date, we're not 100% sure when the MP5 is unlocked, or even if it's available from Rank 1, but we'll let you know as soon as we get our hands on multiplayer game modes. Either way though, it's worth grinding for, as its rapid fire capabilities can take opponents down in no time.

     Victoria 3 review – A golden tomorrow

When the 'Game Over' screen arrived after my century in charge of the United States for our Victoria 3 review, I looked back over a very different hundred years from those familiar to me from history books. There had never been a Civil War - in the version of the story that unfolded in Paradox's latest grand strategy game, slavery was abolished more or less without incident in the1840s, but we'd come close to a revolution over the abolition of child labour thirty years later. By 1936, we were no longer the 'United States' at all - the nation was a wildly successful anarchist commune known as the United Syndicates of America.

Victoria 3 faces the challenge of living up to a decade of anticipation, and it's made some bold changes to address the shortcomings of its predecessor. It's without a doubt the most beautiful game Paradox has ever made, and arguably the most welcoming for newcomers. It makes fundamental changes to the way the series considers the ethics of slavery, labour, colonisation, and the agency of indigenous people. However, at launch, Victoria 3 is a wobbly prospect: bugs, crashes, and a few frustrating design idiosyncrasies leave the whole thing feeling somewhat underdone.

     The best FSS Hurricane loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Building the best FSS Hurricane loadout in Modern Warfare 2 provides you with a weapon that excels in close-range encounters, while also having enough stopping power to put your opponents down at mid-range. Adding attachments to keep its recoil under control helps with longer engagements in this FPS, while maintaining your mobility keeps you on your toes when fights start to get up close and personal.

The FSS Hurricane is part of the submachine gun class of weapons, and it uses the M4 receiver as its base. It's because of that assault rifle pedigree that the FSS feels more like a hybrid weapon, rather than a traditional SMG like the MP5. Here is the best FSS Hurricane loadout in Modern Warfare 2.

     FIFA 23 Out of Position promo release date and leaks

FIFA 23 Out of Position is the next promo heading to Ultimate Team, and it's been leaked ahead of the release date. Halloween is fast approaching, and in typical EA Sports fashion, it looks like they'll be changing up the meta in the football game around the spookiest time of year. Ultimate Scream goes all the way back to 2016 and has nearly always involved shapeshifting cards of some kind, whether it be position or overall stats, and it looks like this year will be no different.

The card designs for the new FIFA 23 Out of Position promo were leaked on Reddit. It looks to take a sharp turn away from the scary and focuses on a more graffiti-like design. Here's what we know about the FIFA 23 Out of Position promo so far.

     How to solve the Gotham Knights Owl puzzle

Chances are that if you're here, you're baffled by the Gotham Knights Owl puzzle. But, don't worry; it isn't just you, as it's one of the superhero game's most devious problems that would take the mind of a detective to solve.

As you make your way through the Court of Owls' headquarters, a mural on a door with blood underneath it blocks the way. First, examine the pool of blood, then the spotlight, to get the prompt to turn it on. This will cast a shadow on the mural from the four statues ahead. To the left of each one, there is a panel you can use to turn the segment to one of four positions. To open it and solve the Gotham Knights Owl puzzle, you must line up the puzzles, so the light casts a shadow of an Owl trying to grab one of the masked people on the mural ahead.

Here's everything you need to know about a Gotham Knights smoke bomb.

The Modern Warfare 2 best M4 loadout was undeniably one of the best MW2 guns in the beta, so we have no doubt the M4 is going to be a monster when the FPS game launches. At stock, the M4 is an incredibly well-rounded weapon, but it can be transformed into the best assault rifle in the game if you utilise the correct set of attachments.

Another reason to equip the M4 is to unlock a range of attachments for the other guns in your arsenal. Thanks to the changes made to the Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith, if you primarily use the M4 in combat, you automatically unlock attachments for any gun within the M4's weapon platform. Here's what you need to create the best M4 loadout in Modern Warfare 2.

Folks, I've got some bad news. Victoria 3 is not a game where you play the clone of the clone of Posh Spice. I was all geared up for some science fiction-tinged Spice Girls shenanigans, but I was left bitterly disappointed. However, I'd already installed it, so I decided to check it out and see what kind of game it actually is. Turns out that Victoria 3 is a grand strategy game, just like its Paradox stablemates Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron.

Trying to classify Victoria 3 is pretty damn important. Unlike, say, the Total War series, Paradox's grand strategy titles are differentiated by a lot more than their time periods. Hearts of Iron its WW2 military ticker on its sleeve, while Crusader Kings (my personal fave) is secretly an RPG, just one that happens to cast you as the ruler of a country, rather than a random wandering murderer. Figure that out and you grasped the appeal of the game, especially for people who may lack interest in - or be downright put off by - the historical era it covers.

The Angel of Darkness gets blamed for a lot of the Tomb Raider franchise's failures in the early-to-mid 2000s — whether it's the downfall of Core Design, the box office flop of the second Angelina Jolie movie, or the continuity reboot the series needed before anyone would agree to publish another one of its games. While I have to admit there's some pretty damning circumstantial evidence there and that not every accusation is exactly unfounded, the game's memetic unpopularity even among people who never played it still feels harsher than is warranted.

Horror games are great and all that, but what about games that make you the monster? Yeah. Chew on that for a second.

I'm not just talking about games that belong to the horror genre, either. In fact, spare those asymmetrical multiplayer games that are all the rage with their worryingly young audiences, there are few actual horror games that let you assume the role of the villain. But that doesn't mean there isn't a deluge of titles where you play as a creature so vile, so menacing, that the residents of their worlds undoubtly view the player as evil incarnate. Far from it. The games on this list may not all be spooky in tone, but your character is still the stuff of actual nightmares.

Alright folks, bear with me, because it doesn't look like this one is going to get less messy. As reported by Tech News Space, it appears that Robert Kurvitz, the lead developer and writer on Disco Elysium, is suing Studio ZA/UM, the development studio of Disco Elysium, via his own company Telomer. Kotaku AU seem to have corroborated this, finding a record on the Estonian Ministry of Justice's website showing Telomer has filed an application against ZA/UM Studio to "obtain information and review documents", which you can see for yourself here.

This comes after Martin Luiga announced (in a frankly kinda weird post) the dissolution of The ZA/UM Cultural Association, and that Kurvitz, writer Helen Hindpere, and art director Aleksander Rostov were no longer working at Studio ZA/UM.

House Castle has been on a bit of a horror binge this month, what with it being Spooky Season and all. Not because we're die-hard horror buffs - if anything, we're both lifelong wimps when it comes to this stuff. But buoyed by a growing resolve to tackle our collective cowardice head on, October has seen us watch, play and read several of the big horror classics we've been too chicken to attempt in the past. Over the course of it all, though, there's been a gnawing, slightly dreadful realisation slowly bubbling away beneath the surface. Far from being scared by these horrible things, I've often come away feeling no emotions whatsoever. I have remained unmoved, neither frightened, unnerved, or creeped out. Just plain, simple indifference. The Japanese Ring? Nothing. I Saw The Devil? Nah, mate. Lake Mungo? More like Lake Yawngo.

I was beginning to think I'd lost the capacity to feel anything at all. Heck, the real horror show this month has been the collapse of the entire UK nation state, and yet I still cannot bring myself to muster anything beyond a tired sigh. Then I got to the second act of Resident Evil Village's Shadows Of Rose DLC and, oh yes, hello fear. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Megami Tensei Gaiden

G-Mode announced that another deep cut from its back catalog will be ported to the Nintendo Switch. Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible New Testament III: Mugen no Eiyuu will join the expanding G-Mode Archives+ Switch collection in Japan. The game was first released in 2010 for mobile phones on the iAppli and EZAppli platforms.

Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible New Testament III joins the previous two games as part of G-Mode's G-Mode Archives+ line. The Last Bible New Testament games are phone-based spin-offs of Atlus' Famicom-era Last Bible titles. Loosely based on Megami Tensei, the Last Bible games struck a more traditional fantasy style and tone, with closer similarities to Dragon Quest than the darker urban and occult leanings of the core Megami Tensei games. The Last Bible New Testament titles also featured classical Megami Tensei mechanics like demon negotiation and fusion.

Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible New Testament III is a sequel to the first two games, and involves Leon and Luna, the "Children of the Gospel" from the previous game. The game is set on in the world of Damir, which is under threat from demonic beasts. The protagonist dons a mysterious "COMP" bracelet, attracting the attention of the demons and enabling them to gain their allegiance to fight by their side.

G-Mode has been rereleasing its mobile phone-based catalog to Switch since 2020. Once specializing in Java-based phone games, G-Mode was acquired by Marvelous in 2015. It rereleased the first  Last Bible New Testament title in July 2022 on Switch in Japan. No release date has been specified for the other two games. When they arrive, though, they're expected to cost about 1,800 Yen (about $12 USD).

Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible New Testament II and III are scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch in 2022.

Masahiro Sakurai Shared Details About Jin Kazama Animations in SSBU

The new Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games video is out, and this time the SSBU Kazuya Kazama DLC is used as an example to show when "Too Much is Just Right." The video is dedicated to over-the-top animations in game, showing how the extra emphasis and action can be an effective means of showing intensity and enhancing the experience.

The video kicks off with the most extreme example of "too much is just right" regarding Kazama in SSBU which involves his roundhouse into Triple Spin Kick that sees his upper and lower body twist in a way that is unrealistic and, in a normal human, would likely break their spine. Sakurai pointed out that this isn't a bug, and cites how that same animation appeared in the original Tekken. He then explains how more exaggerated motions lead to animations looking better, and more moderate ones aren't enough.

Sakurai cited other games when discussing how far fighting game animations have come over the years. He began by discussing Dragon King: The Fighting Game, which eventually became the original Super Smash Bros., and how technical limitations meant arms were connected to the torso and limited to different angles. He also showed an example from Virtua Fighter, which featured Lao performing that same sort of roundhouse kick as Kazama with the same exaggerated movement.

Here is the full Sakurai "Too Much is Just Right" video.

Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games is an ongoing YouTube series from the SSBU, Kirby, and Kid Icarus: Uprising developer. Each entry goes behind the scenes of game development, sharing what Sakurai's learned while creating games over the years. Other recent entries went over things like the Super Smash Bros. beginnings and "Fun Beyond Game Essence."

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is available for the Nintendo Switch, and people can get the Kazuya Kazama DLC for an additional $5.99.

Votoms Scopedog statue with limited-time Red Shoulder

The life-size statue of the Scopedog from Armored Trooper Votoms is on display with its iconic Red Shoulder at Inagi Pear Park since August 1, 2022. The limited-time color was originally set for display until October 31, 2022. The Inagi City Tourism Bureau has newly announced that it will extend the display through 2022 Christmas Day. People in Japan can still see the special design from Chirico Cuvie's Red Shoulder Battalion until December 28, 2022. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The life-size Scopedog statue from the Votoms series made its first public appearance at the Inagi Pear Park in March 2020. The city of Inagi is best known as the birthplace of Kunio Okawara, the mechanical designer for Votoms and the inaugural Mobile Suit Gundam. While Sunrise is better known for showcasing the life-size statue of RX-78-2 Gundam in Odaiba and Yokohama, it also placed 1/5 scale statues of Amuro Ray's Gundam and Char Aznable's Zaku II in Inagi in 2016.

The Armored Trooper Votoms franchise began when its first TV anime show aired in Japan in 1983. The Real Robot show tells the story of Chirico Cuvie, a soldier who has to survive on his own after his former army pursues him for discovering a secret. The protagonist is also known for piloting a customized version of Scopedog, the 3.8 meters (12.5 feet) tall Armored Trooper.

The series also had multiple OVAs released afterwards, such as The Last Red Shoulder in 1985 and Pailsen Files in 2007. The latest OVA entry, Votoms: Alone Again, appeared in 2011.

Armored Trooper Votoms has also made multiple appearances in the Super Robot Wars crossover game series. The latest title that included the series' storyline is the 2019 Super Robot Wars T. Bandai Namco also added Chirico's Scopedog with a brand-new loadout in an Expansion Pack for the globally-available Super Robot Wars 30 in April 2022.

Cult of the Lamb Blood Moon Festival Halloween Event Begins

There's now a way to celebrate Halloween in Cult of the Lamb, as the Blood Moon Festival event is live. Between October 24, 2022 and November 10, 2022, people can take part in new activities, activate a new ritual, and get new Follower forms. You'll also start seeing Followers you've lost along the way again roaming around the world.

Here's a trailer going over the Cult of the Lamb Blood Moon Festival and its Halloween-themed activities. It takes its time going through the new things people can do in the game. It starts off with a peek at the Lamb performing the Blood Moon Ritual. When performed, you can spend 40 pumpkins to create a Blood Moon for three days. This makes your fallen Followers appear again. When they return, you can send the Lamb around to capture them in their book. You can unlock the Blood Moon Tree during this time. This also means new decorations, like ones that resemble the Dia de Los Muertos sugar skulls. Following that, the three new Follower forms appear.

It isn't uncommon for games with simulation elements to celebrate special occasions. For example, Animal Crossing: New Horizons includes a Halloween event. Cozy Grove also features a Fall Festival at the end of October.

Cult of the Lamb is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Halloween Blood Moon Festival will run until November 10, 2022.

Hideo Kojima Shares Photo with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan

Hideo Kojima, head of Kojima Productions, recently shared a photo of himself with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan. The picture featured a simple quote with no teases regarding any potential Kojima game, only mentioning he was with the president alongside a thumb's up and heart-eyed emoji. Given the creator's nature to tease things via his official social media account, this could be a hint to suggest things to come regarding PlayStation platforms or him just sharing a picture with someone he'd recently met.

Here's the latest picture of the two.

This Jim Ryan photo is the second potential teaser photo from Hideo Kojima to appear involving a prominent person from Sony. On October 17, 2022, Kojima shared a picture with Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios.

It wasn't long ago that Hideo Kojima posed with a person from another major game company, Microsoft's Phil Spencer. Kojima shared pictures taken with the Head of Xbox back on September 16, 2022.

As a reminder, Hideo Kojima is working on some new games. Back in December 2021, he noted that two titles are currently in development. In 2022, a "Hideo Kojima Game" has been teased with a "Who am I?" site that features Elle Fanning.

Genshin Impact Sumeru Soundtrack Web Event Offers Free Primogems

The new Genshin Impact web event is here to offer people a way to earn more free Primogems, and this time it involves the Sumeru soundtrack. Songs of the Forest sends people around a brief map between October 24-31, 2022. As you place Portable Waypoints, you'll be able to listen to music from the region. Sharing will then give you a chance to get a code for free Primogems.

Here's how the Songs of the Forest Genshin Impact Sumeru soundtrack web event works. After you log in, you'll see four pictures representing five areas in Sumeru to explore. For example, you could choose to visit Mawtiyima Forest or Sumeru City. Once you click to enter an area, you can drag the Portable Waypoint to a spot to listen to a song from that area. After checking out every spot, you'll have an option to "share" the link on sites like Facebook or Twitter, or get a link. After you do so, you'll get a code for 40 free Primogems that you can enter in Genshin Impact. (Note that only three million codes in total will be given away, and it must be redeemed in-game by November 1, 2022.) As long as you reached Adventure Rank 10, you can take part.

If you want to listen to the Genshin Impact Sumeru soundtrack outside of the web event, that's easy too. All four "discs" are available via YouTube. Note that the first three discs are each about an hour long, while the fourth contains about 17 minutes of music.

Genshin Impact is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices, and update 3.2 will arrive on November 2, 2022.

Bayonetta Voice Actress Offers More Details About Bayonetta 3 Offer

More details about the Bayonetta 3 voice acting situation have come to light, with former Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor sharing more details about PlatinumGames' offer via Twitter. In the newest update, she noted the initial offer to return as the character was $10,000. Then, after that, the amount increased to $15,000. She then said she declined following that offer, which led to a flat $4,000 offer to "voice some lines."

In her initial video message, Taylor claimed the developer offered her a flat $4,000 to play the character. That same announcement also included a call to boycott Bayonetta 3. A follow-up Bloomberg report from Jason Schreier claimed the offer to return as the voice actress for Bayonetta was $15,000, which now seems to be confirmed by Taylor.

Here is Taylor's latest series of tweets about the topic:

Bayonetta 3 will come to the Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022, with Jennifer Hale as the voice actress for Bayonetta. Previously, Hale voiced characters in Mass Effect, Overwatch, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

persona 5 royal true ending futaba

Now that Persona 5 Royal is available on so many additional platforms, people might be wondering how to get the true ending again. Fortunately, it isn't too taxing an endeavor. As you might expect from a version of a game that includes new characters, those additional individuals feature prominently. You honestly don't even need to keep to any sort of strict schedule to find yourself on the path to the "correct" conclusion. In short, just make sure you spend time with Goro Akechi, Kasumi Yoshizara, and Doctor Takuto Maruki for things to work out.

Editor's Note: There will be no Persona 5 Royal spoilers below.

The first deadline you need to keep in mind is November 18th. You need to have the Persona 5 Royal Confidant relationship with Doctor Maruki at Rank 9 by that day to get the true ending. But before even that, you'll want to make sure Joker equips a Persona from the Councillor Arcana before May 13th. If you find a Kushi Mitama or Nigi Mitama, they both will work. (I fused a Hua Po and Pixie to get one.) You tend to be able to spend time with the doctor on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

The next deadline is November 24th. You need to get Joker's relationship with Goro Akechi up to Rank 8 by that date. He's available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. You'll need to make sure Joker's Charm stat is at Rank 3: Suave and Knowledge is at Rank 4: Encyclopedic to keep getting closer to him. I'd recommend renting the Bubbly Hills 90210 and Not-so-Hot-Betsy DVDs to watch, reading Buchiko's Story and Reckless Casanova, and going to the Yongen-Jaya bathhouse (especially when it is a Monday, a Thursday, or it is raining) to raise Charm. To increase Knowledge, answer questions in class correctly, study at the library, study before tests, and read books like The Great Thief, Heroic Revelations, and Wise Men's Words. Eating the Comet, Gravity, and Cosmic Tower Burgers during the challenge at Big Bang Burger can increase both Charm and Knowledge, which helps a lot.

The third step to getting the Persona 5 Royal true ending involves the new heroine Kasumi. You'll need to get her to Rank 5 by December 18th. She'll text you when she's available, so don't turn down chances to spend time with her.

Finally, you'll need to constantly reject a certain someone's offers in January and February. This person will ask you to join them. When they ask you to become their ally, you need to tell them no.

Persona 5 Royal is available now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. There is no free PS4 to PS5 upgrade for the game.

honkai impact 3rd characters Li Sushang update 6.1

Another person is joining Honkai Impact 3rd's cast of characters, and it is 7 Swords visual novel and Qin Suyi daughter Li Sushang. She'll be an S-rank PSY character when she joins, who'll attack with her swords and deal Ice DMG. She'll be a part of Honkai Impact 3rd update 6.1, which is called Moonshade Epic, on October 27, 2022.

Li Sushang is an older character who was cryogenically frozen by Otto after being injured. She's only recently been thawed out, and is now taking part in current events. Her attacks involve summoning swords to attack her enemies. Her Blade Eminence Ultimate summons a giant one.

Li Sushang won't be the only addition to Honkai Impact 3rd as part of update 6.1. There will also be Story Chapter XXXII and a Midnight Chronicle co-op event. The former concludes "The Moon's Origin and Finality, Part 1" storyline. The latter is a two-part event that features Li Sushang and sends players through 12 maps with up to four other people. The reward for success is the Scorching Gravel Infinite Ouroboros outfit.

The official Twitter account showed how the Infinite Ouroboros Scorching Gravel costume looks:

Here's the new trailer for Moonshade Epic.

As a reminder, it's common for a new character to join in every Honkai Impact 3rd update. For example, Herrscher of Human Ego joined in 6.0.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on PCs and mobile devices, and Li Sushang will join the roster of characters in update 6.1 on October 27, 2022.

jjba all-star battle r risotto nero

Eat your spinach, because Risotto Nero is the first DLC character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R and we know his release date. The 1.3 Patch came out on October 23, 2022, and early access to him begins on October 26, 2022. There will also be some changes to game balance and characters as part of the update.

Nero's trailer features lots of shout-outs to his battle against Doppio. Not only are his voice-lines all from that fight, but he also uses familiar tricks such as camouflaging himself with Metallica. His Stand, Metallica, can manipulate iron, including the iron inside a person's blood. Risotto Nero originated from Part 5, Vento Aureo, as a major antagonist. He is the leader of La Squadra Esecuzioni, and targeted Trish in an attempt to discover the Passione boss's true identity.

If you have a Season Pass, you can get Risotto Nero on October 26, 2022. Other players can get him from October 28. There will be three more DLC characters after Nero, though Bandai Namco has not announced them yet. They will all come out before December 31, 2023, though.

You can watch the trailer for Risotto Nero in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GufEpbhnQlk&

The full list of updates is available on Bandai Namco's webpage for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Some of the universal changes include a standardized dodge activation time, as well as reducing how much damage a downed opponent takes. Bandai Namco also altered the moves of a large portion of characters. For example, Dio Brando's "And punch straight through!" attack now has a longer hitbox, while Kosaku Kawajiri has less health.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is available on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

symbiogenesis parasite eve

A new Parasite Eve may or may not be on the horizon, as Square Enix has trademarked the word "Symbiogenesis" in Japan. It did so on October 13, 2022, though the news only became public on October 23. In simple terms, symbiogenesis is when two or more organisms come together to form a single new organism. This is also the basis for the Parasite Eve story. [Thanks, Wario64 and Gematsu!]

Symbiogenesis is the scientific theory in which eukaryotic cells such as mitochondria were formerly independent organisms that entered a symbiotic relationship with other single-celled organisms in order to create a single new organism. It is unknown if Square Enix plans on remaking Parasite Eve or if it wants to make a new game with its setting. Symbiogenesis may also be a completely new project separate from Parasite Eve.

Parasite Eve came out in 1998 for the PlayStation when Square Enix was still simply Square. It serves as a sequel to the Parasite Eve novel, and follows New York City police officer Aya Brea. In New York, there have been several cases of spontaneous human combustion. Aya quickly realizes a woman named Eve is causing them. Aya then has to prevent Eve from destroying Manhattan and the rest of humanity.

More information on "Symbiogenesis," whether it is related to Parasite Eve or not, may appear in the future. Previously, Square Enix filed a trademark for Live a Live in 2020, and remade the game two years later.

We don't currently know the specifics of the lawsuit, but it is understood that Telomer OÜ is requesting to obtain information and review documents from ZA/UM. Despite not knowing the specifics, we can take a reasonable guess at what triggered this. Earlier this month the ZA/UM Cultural Association was dissolved with multiple employees being released in the process. It is understood that Kurvitz's alongside writer Helen Hindpere's and art director Alexander Rostov's removal from ZA/UM was "involuntary."   Another founding member of ZA/UM, Martin Luiga, provided some further insight on Medium. Here Luiga claims that investors played a role in the removal of these talents as they disagreed with certain monetization proposals.

     Victoria 3 Review Vicky 3 ReviewVictoria 3 is launching soon. As one of Paradox Interactive's grand strategy franchises, it can truly be a daunting task to learn everything from scratch. And, to be fair, I did have a lot of qualms before I decided to dive right into it. Partly, it's because the Victoria or "Vicky" series has never been my forte.
