On an average day, my friends might ask me how my job is going. I'll smile, tell them "It's going great," and then launch into a story about one of the most fucked up things they've ever heard of. And now I get to give the recap to you.

     Overwatch 2 nerfs designed to protect supports, Blizzard says

As predicted earlier this month, a round of Overwatch 2 nerfs are inbound with the next update, due out November 15, Blizzard says. The hero balance changes are mainly aimed at helping keep the FPS game's support characters alive, with nerfs to high-impact heroes like Sombra, Genji, and D.Va that will make it tougher for them to get at the opposing team's back line.

Gundam Evolution Witch from Mercury

The latest Mobile Suit Gundam series, The Witch from Mercury, made something of a splash with its debut this anime season. Team-based competitive game Gundam Evolution is ready to take advantage of that. Bandai Namco launched a promotional campaign to commemorate The Witch from Mercury in Gundam Evolution. The campaign will continue through December 27, 2022.

All a player has to do during that period is to log into Gundam Evolution and get Witch from Mercury cosmetic customization items. The four items will arrive in their in-game present box, free of charge. The customization items include a player profile icon featuring Suletta Mercury, and a pair of stamps. One stamp displays the Witch from Mercury poster. The other is a cutaway focusing on the head of the show's signature mobile suit, Aerial. The last item is an ornament featuring the show's logo. Ornaments hang off the in-game weapon, like a keychain.

Debuting in October 2022, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury takes place in a new alternate setting, where much of humanity has relocated to space colonies. Megacorporations exploit the people living planetside in places like Earth and Mercury. At the Asticassia School of Technology, the young scions of the most powerful corps engage in duels to determine key issues and resolve disputes. Into this milieu transfers Suletta Mercury, a naive girl from the backwater Mercury settlement. Along with her is her mobile suit, Aerial, which harbors mysterious abilities that might be connected to the forbidden "Gundam" technology.

Gundam Evolution is available on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The Witch from Mercury streams on various services, including Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Disney+.

PS5 Japan Sales

A new report in Famitsu indicated that sales figures for the PlayStation 5 in Japan hit a new milestone. The hardware sales estimates for the week of October 17-23, 2022 note that Japan PS5 sales topped two million units sold. This number is a combination of both the standard edition PS5 and the less expensive digital edition. (That is the one without an optical drive.)

Overall, Japan PS5 sales saw a total of 2,027,783 units sold. 1,749,737 units were the standard, disc drive-equipped version. The digital edition PS5 was considerably less popular at 278,046 units sold. The PS5 launched in Japan in November 2020, putting it at just shy of 102 weeks before hitting the milestone. By comparison, the PS4 took 90 weeks to mark two million sold. This relative slowness was exacerbated by supply issues caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Even now, PS5s are still often sold in Japan via lottery system.

In May 2022 Sony reported that the PS5 surpassed 19.3 million units sold globally.

Though the sales milestone is an achievement for the PS5 in Japan, the Nintendo Switch remains dominant overall. The Switch OLED model alone moved over 2.8 million units in the time since it launched. Across the three existing models of Switch, over 26.5 million units have been sold in Japan over the platform's lifetime. Switch titles made up 8 of the top 10 best-selling games for the week. Splatoon 3 led the way, along with the Switch version of Persona 5 Royal. The top-selling PS5 game for the week was Gran Turismo 7, followed by the PS5 edition of Persona 5 Royal.

     Uncharted pc patch 1.1 releaseGame version 1.1 marks the first patch for Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves PC collection. And even though the game launched in a good state, timely improvements are always welcome. The patch notes are short and to the point with a bulleted list of what's new. As far as gameplay changes go, Naughty Dog updated the way mouse input works to use raw input in order to improve the feel and responsiveness. This will no doubt improve the experience for everyone with a better feeling game. Adding to this, the patch notes also mention stability and performance optimizations. If you encountered any crashes or stutters, this might be your fix. Additionally, you can expect some higher framerates to make those action sequences feel a bit more immersive.   The rest is relatively minor but still worth mentioning. Naughty Dog also removed frame rate dependency for mouse camera sensitivity, updated the settings menu for the HDR option to grey out if your display doesn't...

     Scorn PatchScorn is a sci-fi puzzle survival horror that recently released on Xbox and PC. However, the enigmatic and often gruesome first-person experience wasn't without its faults. Various bugs, including save file problems, accompanied its release. Today, a new patch has launched for Scorn, promising a fix to a slew of issues for PC players. The new Scorn patch, version 1.1.8.0, has a fairly long list of bug squashes. These fixes range anywhere from localization fixes to field of view (FOV) sliders working as intended for ultra-widescreen monitors. There are a number of which that hope to remedy the player experience overall. For example, one listed issue addresses simple game progression issues like not being able to pick up a dropped item after killing the boss in Act V. Others fixes should lessen the frustration by making sure players don't fall through the floor when in "certain positions." Crushing crashes Other notable items addressed in the patch should help if ...

     Mount And Blade Ii Review (10)I was there when TaleWorlds boldly released Mount & Blade with an appreciable amount of troops, and I was there when the game was iterated upon by the developers and transformed by modders. Now, I am here to review Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Bannerlord takes us back to ancient Calradia, set a few hundred years before the (not) Baltics region we know from the first game took shape. The Empire has broken into three squabbling pieces. Vlandians, Battanians, and other outsiders fight them as much as they fight each other. And at the same time, raiders kill your parents and steal your siblings! Mount the mount and take the blade, it's time to get some justice. And if that leads to a permanent rearrangement of the political makeup of the continent, oh well. I put on my robe and Plumed Southern Helmet As Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord builds upon everything that was great about the previous titles, it also finally graces us with a campaign, even if it's very hands-off. Previ...
