Kotaku Friday, November 4, 2022 11:18 AM  There are few more divisive issues in modern gaming than boss fights.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 1:20 PM  Wish there were some good games like Animal Crossing? Well, wish granted below. Nintendo finally gave Animal Crossing fans what they wanted when it released the next entry in the fantastic village simulation series. Now here we are a few years later, still basking in the aftermath of one of Nintendo's most successful launches. A Nintendo Switch isn't cheap, though. Especially if all you're interested in is Animal Crossing. But fortunately for PC players, there are plenty of games on PC that replicate what Animal Crossing does best. If you're looking for a little balm for an AC-less year (decade, or lifetime), look no further; we've listed the best alternatives on our beloved platform below.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 1:17 PM  If you're looking for the best Modern Warfare 2 STB 556 loadout, you've come to the right place. This deceptively powerful assault rifle is capable of dishing out some serious damage at both mid to long-range. Its base stats trend high for damage and recoil control, and its accuracy, mobility, and handling are nothing to sniff at. In fact, the STB 556 is so good that you must be level 41 in the multiplayer game before you can unlock it. If you're a few levels off, our guide on how to level up fast in Modern Warfare 2 is guaranteed to get you over that threshold, while our best Modern Warfare 2 loadouts for the M4 and M16 will help tide you over in the meantime. Once you've unlocked it, our best Modern Warfare 2 STB 556 loadout delves into which components you should prioritise in the Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system. The STB 556 is an extraordinarily versatile weapon, and it's hard to go wrong when it comes to crafting your loadout. However, the best loadout plays to the STB 556's strengths, prioritising handling so that you can keep the enemy in your sights while taking full advantage of its firepower, and our Modern Warfare 2 STB 556 loadout aims to do just that.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 1:16 PM  Want to know what the Genshin Impact 3.3 release date is? Believe it or not, version 3.3 marks the free RPG game's 20th update, just over two years since we first set foot in Teyvat. The 3.3 update gives us more of the Sumeru region to explore, as well as new features to try and characters you can obtain via wishes. While we know exactly when the Genshin Impact 3.3 release date is, it's a bit early to know precisely how good the new characters will be. Fortunately, we know enough about them to give us a general idea of what they'll play like. Don't worry, we'll rank them on the Genshin Impact tier list to let you know if they're worth spending your Primogems on.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 1:45 PM  New World Fresh Start Worlds went live on November 2, 2022, with a staggered release spanning the past several days according to Amazon's rollout plan. At the time of writing, three of the four waves have been released, with the final fourth wave due to arrive on November 4 at 7pm GMT. As the name suggests, the New World Fresh Start Worlds servers offer long-time players a fresh start, allowing them to experience (or re-experience) New World at launch – but with all the improvements that the multiplayer game has undergone in the meantime. What's more, any new content released will also be available in Fresh Start Worlds, so you won't lose out by taking the leap. Without further ado, are all the details we have for Fresh Start Worlds, including the servers per region and which characters you can take on your journey.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 1:18 PM  Looking for the New World server list? There are a great deal of New World servers available for North America East, North America West, Central Europe, Australia, and South America. Some of these servers have suggested languages, but otherwise they have no further focus - PvP, roleplay, or otherwise - so it can be a little confusing figuring out where to make your character. If you're on the lookout for New World streamer servers, there are a fair few substantial communities that have pledged their allegiance to particular servers. This fact may be important for you to consider when deciding on a New World server, as these servers could be imbalanced when it comes to New World PvP if thousands of people choose the same New World faction as their streamer of choice. You can check which servers contain major streamers at the Streamers on New World fansite. New World reached a peak player count of over 700,000 on launch day, and many players faced substantial New World server queue times. Amazon added several new servers since launch in response, and implemented a server transfer system. Following a decline in active player numbers, several New World servers have been merged together in order to keep . You can find up to date information on maintenance and downtime on the official server status page. Here are all the New World servers available, and how to find which New World servers merged.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 12:51 PM  Wondering which New World faction you should pick? After picking your New World server, one of the most important choices you'll make in the open-world MMO is your faction allegiance. If you're new to the Amazon game, we've got a beginner's guide to help. In short, though, there's a few things that distinguish it from your usual MMORPG; there are no classes, you can only have one character per server, and the player base is split into three factions: Marauders, Syndicate, and Covenant. The faction you choose has a big impact on your gameplay. After selecting one, you cannot join a different faction for the next 120 days, and you are restricted to joining companies - guilds, essentially - that match your faction. If you opt-in to New World PvP, you can be attacked by players of rival factions while outside safe areas. You can also represent your faction in Wars, 50v50 PvP battles, over control of a settlement. The winner gets to be in charge of the settlement's development and tax rates, and also receives buffs in the local area. So, there are plenty of reasons to pledge your allegiance - but how do you decide on your New World faction?

The new era of the FPS game sees new modes, guns, maps and more added, while integrating closely with MW2. One of the most anticipated new arrivals in Warzone 2.0 is DMZ mode, confirmed to be coming on day one of the multiplayer game.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 11:56 AM  Knowing the best quickscope class Modern Warfare 2 can elevate your montages and push your KD through the roof, as long as you're set up correctly. Nobody will be able to touch you in the FPS game once your class is set, as you'll have ultra-fast ADS time, sprint to fire speeds, and huge one-shot kill potential. The act of quickscoping refers to a player aiming down sights with a sniper rifle and firing almost instantaneously. The weapon centres on the crosshair a few milliseconds after you ADS, although the screen may seem to be obscured, you know the bullet is going straight down the middle of your display. It's perhaps the flashiest of Modern Warfare 2 plays, and here's how to set yourself up to get some of those highlights.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 11:50 AM  The Genshin Impact Scaramouche banner is officially on its way – in fact, it's rumoured to release as part of Genshin Impact 3.3 before the end of the year.

Now, Hoyoverse has finally confirmed that Scaramouche is officially an upcoming playable character, though he'll appear in the Genshin Impact Scaramouche banner under a different name.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 11:44 AM  The Minecraft Dripstone cave biome was one of those added in the long-awaited Caves & Cliffs update, which completely changed the game for miners and cavern dwellers. Instead of branching or snaking through dull stone in search of diamonds, occasionally coming across the odd small, dingy cave, explorers can now find themselves in sprawling open spaces, filled with stalactites and stalagmites - just like real cave exploration. While the same update's Lush Caves are filled with illuminated flora, floating particles, and glowing squid, the dripstone cave biome provides the ying to the lush cave's yang, darker, more jagged and dangerous - but still as beautiful.

This smaller sibling to the 762 still packs a punch and comes with far greater mobility and accuracy, so if you're struggling to land the killing blow with the 762 then you should try our best Kastov 545 loadout. While our Kastov 762 loadout is one of the best assault rifles in Modern Warfare 2 right now, its slightly less mighty 545 counterpart is still very handy in the FPS game and a lot more mobile. For some areas, like the interiors of Embassy or Al Bagra Fortress, that mobility is key and the fact that you're still using an AR means you can continue fighting effectively outside of the buildings as well.

PCGamesN Friday, November 4, 2022 10:28 AM  What are the best games like Left 4 Dead and Payday 2? Having a group of friends alongside you can make even bad games bearable, so when a game is great in the first place, you can end up with something truly memorable. Co-op is one thing, but there's a certain elusive subgenre - arguably codified by Valve's 2008 shooter Left 4 Dead - that just scratches an itch other co-operative games can't. Usually featuring teams of up to four players, complimentary classes with varied abilities and skill trees, and sporadic hordes of some horror or other trying to ruin your day, these games all share similar DNA. 'Left-likes', 'Dead-likes', and '4-likes' are three descriptors literally no-one has ever used before and will never use again because they're all terrible, but you probably get what we're talking about by now.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 4, 2022 1:00 PM  The coming release of Dwarf Fortress But For Humans may be making many colony/management sim devs nervous, but Stardeus ought to find some room for itself anyway. RimWorld is the more direct influence, really. Instead of a planet's surface, your little blobby torso people are stuck on a spaceship, which you need to rebuild around them using a fleet of robots as they gradually wake up from stasis. If you know the genre well, it will be reminiscent of several games, but its balance of survival, management, and creative building makes for a refreshingly forgiving experience at the current default settings. |

Handily, it's made me realise that Paul Kaye – known for his Game Of Thrones role as resurrectionist Thoros of Myr, and for being mortally annoying as Dennis Pennis in the Nineties – is playing shock doc director Charlie.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 4, 2022 11:30 AM Triangle Strategy is more cutscene than combat, but it modernises Tactics Ogre in all the right ways  It's been an interesting exercise playing Triangle Strategy and Tactics Ogre: Reborn in quick succession lately. I've now played both Square Enix strategy RPGs for around six hours apiece now - starting with Tactics Ogre for my preview the other week, and following it up with a Triangle-shaped chaser. I didn't have any history with either game before now, but it's become increasingly apparent that they're effectively cut from the same tile-based cloth. And I mean, exactly the same. They're so similar, in fact, that it's kinda hilarious Square are releasing them so close together on PC, with Tactics Ogre's release on November 11th following little more than a month after Triangle Strategy. At the same time, though, their approach to story-telling couldn't be more different, and comparing and contrasting them like this one after the other has been both fun and enlightening. Triangle Strategy, for example, is about 80% cutscene, 20% fighting for its first six hours, while Tactics Ogre is pretty much the opposite. And yet… I think I sort of prefer Triangle Strategy? Let me explain. |

So, colour me very excited when I got to spend a good couple of hours battling through two short hands-on demos. I got battered by a big pig, prickled to death by a massive porcupine, and aggressively mauled by a large tiger. And I'd say I had a whale of a time. There was no killer whale in the demo, but I wouldn't count it out for the full release. |

These are both high-end GPUs, set to cost $899 and $999 respectively when they release on December 13th, but you'll note those prices are oodles cheaper than the £1269 / $1199 RTX 4080 and the £1679 / $1599 RTX 4090. They're also structurally distinct from the current Radeon RX 6000 cards to an extent that, frankly, is quite surprising to see from AMD GPUs.

South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee added ratings for Capcom's Ghost Trick and Sony's Syphon Filter 3. The government body issued new ratings for both, which are each more than a decade old. [Thanks, Gematsu!] According to the GRAC listings, the Syphon Filter 3 ratings are for both the PS5 and PS4. Syphon Filter 3 is a PS1-era game that is about to celebrate its 21st birthday. The rating may hint at the game's appearance as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium game catalog. The previous two PS1-era Syphon Filter titles are available via the PSN store and the PS Plus Premium library. Two other PS2-era Syphon Filter games, Dark Mirror, and Logan's Shadow, were also rated by the GRAC for PS4 and PS5 in 2022. They have yet to appear on the service, though. Meanwhile, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective first released on the Nintendo DS. The game the ghost of a murdered detective, Sissel. Lacking memories and the ability to interact normally with his environment, Sissel needs to solve his own murder and catch the criminals at large by possessing and manipulating objects. The game became a cult hit and was ported to iOS devices. However, it hasn't appeared anywhere else since then. The GRAC rating of Ghost Trick doesn't list a specific platform, but does use a code format for PC releases (both for PC-exclusive and multiplatform games). It also attributes the rating to publisher Gamepia, which is known for handling the distribution of Capcom games in Korea. This could hint at a planned remaster or rerelease of the game. Syphon Filter 3 is available on PS1. Ghost Trick is available on Nintendo DS and iOS. The post Ghost Trick and Syphon Filter 3 Korean Ratings Appear appeared first on Siliconera. |

HoYoVerse often shares cutscenes from important Genshin Impact events after they appear in-game. That's just happened with a major one from Archon Quest Chapter 3, Act 5. People who haven't gone through the Sumeru storyline yet, but want to know what happens can. The official Genshin Impact video shares spoilers about the Sumeru Archon Quest boss fight and certain characters. Editor's Note: There will be Genshin Impact spoilers regarding the Sumeru Archon Quest Chapter 3, Act 5 boss fight and certain characters below.
The video begins with Aether, the male version of the Traveler avatar, in the midst of the fight against the Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal. This is the new Weekly Boss who appears during the "Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies" quest. It seems as though the boss got the upper hand. Nahida steps in front of Aether before he can deal a finishing blow. That's when the Genshin Impact Sumeru spoilers really kick in. Scaramouche confronts Nahida about her actions and attacks her. However, when he does, she says, "The data collection is almost complete." She then confirms that what is happening here is similar to something that occurred during "The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings." That is, there is a time loop in effect. We then see how Nahida uses the Akasha to ensure Aether's success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExVzjvMSnTI&ab_channel=GenshinImpact Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and 3.2 is live now.

Creative Director Kazutoyo Maehiro didn't just discuss Final Fantasy XVI summons in a new IGN interview. Other kinds of characters came up. Specifically, Maehiro mentioned how the noble Chocobo, familiar Moogle, and returning monsters will factor into FFXVI. While "overly comical" creatures won't appear, ones that do make sense will appear. [Thanks, IGN!] Earlier in the interview, Director Hiroshi Takai brought up how this is a more serious and mature entry. Maehiro emphasized that when discussing FFXVI versions of the Chocobo, Moogle, and other monsters as well. The goal will be to create a world filled with characters that make sense. The Cactaur wasn't mentioned as a returning creature. However, both Bombs and Morbols were. Here's the full quote from Maehiro from the IGN interview.

When it comes to the Final Fantasy XVI Eikons, which are this entry's summons, it seems what people see is what they will get. Creative Director Kazutoyo Maehiro explained there will be no hidden ones in an IGN interview. This means as someone plays, there wouldn't be any surprise summon to find. However, Maehiro also noted that ones that appeared in the October 2022 "Ambition" trailer's mural may or may not appear. [Thanks, IGN!] First, here's Maehiro's explanation discussing how there won't be any hidden Eikon summons in Final Fantasy XVI. He emphasized that the goal is to really focus the characters that do appear.
Maehiro also told IGN that the mural in "Ambition" shows historical Eikons, but may not show every summon. His answer suggested that while there won't be any hidden ones, there are still secrets Square Enix hasn't revealed.
As a reminder, here is that mural from the "Ambition" Final Fantasy XVI trailer. Final Fantasy XVI will come to the PS5 in Summer 2023. The post There are No Hidden or Surprise Eikon Summons in Final Fantasy XVI appeared first on Siliconera. |

Star Ocean: The Divine Force maintains many of the series' traditions, and one of them is the return of Private Actions and character-based endings connected to them. This means if the lead character you chose, either Ray or Laeticia, gets close to another party member, you earn an ending cutscene with them. In past games, there might have been some suggestions as to possible relationships. For example, it seems probably that Claude Kenny C. Kenny and Rena Lanford in Star Ocean: The Second Story ended up together, due to descendants like Emmerson T. Kenny and Marielle L. Kenny having Rena's blue hair. Considering the nature of game and range of the cast, I was a little disappointed that Star Ocean: The Divine Force didn't offer more hints at romance throughout its story or endings. Editor's Note: There will be spoilers for Star Ocean: The Divine Force "romance" options and endings below.In general, it seemed like the Star Ocean: The Divine Force endings didn't seem to suggest as many relationships as in past games like The Second Story. In that installment, for example, suggested Claude and Rena become an official couple in multiple endings. The same could happen for Claude and Opera. Others suggest Rena could end up with folks like Dias or Ernest. While folks do pair up here, there aren't the same sorts of hints at potential pairings. Especially when it comes to Laeticia.
I suppose it is understandable for Laeticia, in a way. She's a princess, after all. There are also suggestions throughout the story regarding her marriage. For example, Raul Lawrence suggests she marry one of his sons, offering up Ray or Antonio. There was also the possible wedding between her and Ger'rard Il Vey'l. Someone could read her interest in Ray as something more. But even in the endings with Ray, there could be more of a hint at potential platonic relationships instead. In her ending with him, it's more that he's coming to Aster IV to pick her up for a friendly trip to explore. Not to mention in his ending with her, his invitation to Star Resort Antenoa is more relaxed than his other character endings, even though he does take her hand. It feels more like there's perhaps an eventual "option" for Laeticia, but nothing quite yet. For example, during one Private Action with Albaird in Star Ocean: The Divine Force, the two joke about being close enough to be siblings and decide if she would be the older or younger sister. Their ending places the two in Larcasse, ready for a more peaceful and leisurely version of their previous journey together, with "Letty" hinting at a romantic interest in him and "Alby" getting flustered, but agreeing. Rather, the way things do pan out romantically in Star Ocean: The Divine Force tend to favor Ray. Which, in turn, leaves his ending options feeling more in line with some past entries. With Elena, we get not only one, but two endings supporting a relationship with Ray. (Not only that, but throughout the story it seemed like Ray was constantly expressing interest over her.) His ending with her shows her noticing that he was jealous when Midas helped repair her after the encounter with Colonel Velanj, and her reassuring him, "I am, and always will be, your partner and no one else's." In Laeticia's ending with Elena, Elena is coming to her jealous over the thought Ray could be with another woman. Laeticia tells her Ray told her to let her know he just goes to Edahli to be alone for a while if she ever seemed concerned.
Ray's ending with Malkya suggests a romantic relationship as well. She refers to him as the "man one day meant to be partner to the leader of all Trathen." She also has other women feeding him food while he relaxes, saying she needs to "train the work ethic out of him." There's also a rather romantic insinuation, given she tells him, "No matter what becomes of you, I shall never turn away." Oddly enough, the most telling Star Ocean: The Divine Force ending of all involves a possible romance between now-Lieutenant Colonel Marielle L. Kenny and Ray. Ray shows up as Verguld representative helping other developed planets with their dealings with the Federation while also working for his family's company. While the two spend a bit of the segment talking business, Marielle hints that their paths could cross again if both keep working to climb the ranks. He says that he "could think of worse [things]." After she expresses excitement about that, they make a deal and promise. That scene closes by the camera panning down to their feet, suggesting the two are kissing. Given how heavily it felt like Star Ocean: The Divine Force borrowed from past installments, especially The Second Story, I suppose I felt a bit let down to see so little romance once I reached most endings. I really pushed for "Letty" and "Alby" during that run-through. While their paired ending made sense, given they'd be completely readjusting to a new dynamic, a bit more would have been a nice nod. As for Ray, it seems like he's in a much better situation and tri-Ace attempted to call back more and offer more hints at future relationships for him. Star Ocean: The Divine Force is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The post More Star Ocean: The Divine Force Romance Would Have Been Nice appeared first on Siliconera. |

As Sonic Frontiers approaches its launch date of November 8, 2022, Sega offered another look at what there is to do in the Blue Blur's new adventure. A new Sonic Frontiers "Showdown" trailer the giant enemies Sonic will meet and beat in the Starfall Islands. Check out the trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Mnp5A5iG4 The Sonic Frontiers Showdown trailer emphasizes Sonic's conflict with a mysterious new group of enemies. A voice exhorts Sonic to seek out the Chaos Emeralds, "tear down the walls between dimensions," and "destroy the titans. Those titans are the various massive-scale foes that Sonic will encounter throughout the Starfall Islands. Some include a fish-like monster that swims through the desert with Sonic hanging onto its tail. Another appears to flee from Sonic while he pursues at speed, running along a "road" that the monster trails behind itself to catch up. Other boss fight mechanics will have Sonic using the environment to set up fight arenas, bouncing off the walls to damage a boss, and employing a powerful speed-attack that leaves afterimages as Sonic attacks from multiple angles. The trailer also shows glimpses of Sage, the new character connected to the monsters, who plays a major role in Sonic Frontiers. The Showdown trailer concludes with a shot of Sonic gathering all the Chaos Emeralds and using them to transform into Super Sonic to confront an even larger, more humanoid-looking titan. Sonic Frontiers launches on November 8, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Megahouse announced a new line of figures based on Yu-Gi-Oh called Monsters Chronicle. The line will be based on the monsters from its expansive bestiary. The first figures in the line will be led by three iconic Yu-Gi-Oh monsters: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and Insect Queen. All three are available to pre-order in Japan. The Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters Chronicle Blue-Eyes White Dragon figure is based on the legendary card and its associated monster. It costs 6,380 Yen (about $43 USD). The figure stands 120mm tall (about 4.7" inches). It shows the dragon taking flight amidst a swirl of blue energy. The card's prominent role in the early storylines of Yu-Gi-Oh lent it iconic status among fans. It's also associated with the character Seto Kaiba, and many promotions related to the series have featured the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, like the 25th Anniversary briefcase set. [gallery ids="939064,939065,939066" link="file"] The Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters Chronicle Red-Eyes Black Dragon serves as a counterpart to the more famous Blue-Eyes. Standing slightly taller at 140mm (about 5.5" inches), it goes for the same price of 6,380 Yen. The Red-Eyes' dynamic pose is designed to complement the Blue-Eyes, to make for a dramatic scene if both are together.

Bandai Namco confirmed that the Water 7 Arc of One Piece will appear as a memory the Straw Hat Pirates will re-live in One Piece Odyssey. As of the time of writing, there is no trailer or specific information on how the arc will play out. However, since there was a trailer showing off gameplay and cutscenes for Alabasta, there may be a Water 7 trailer soon. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!] In One Piece Odyssey, the Straw Hat Pirates will have to go through past events. However, because they are stronger and already know what will happen, the game's version will be new for existing fans of the show and manga. For example, even though Robin was not part of the crew during the actual Alabasta arc, she is their ally in the game's version of it. Water 7 was the fifteenth story arc of the series. This is when Franky joined the crew as the shipwright. Due to reasons revolving around Robin, Water 7 flows directly into the Enies Lobby arc. It is unclear at this point whether or not the game will cover events from Enies Lobby, or if it will be specifically focused around Water 7. One Piece Odyssey is in development and will come out on January 12, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. If you purchase the limited edition, you can get a figure of Luffy and Lim.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, November 4, 2022 1:30 PM  Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is getting a free content update next week on November 8. With this update comes a new map set in a snowy village, and the first of a "two-part adventure map pack." Of course, there are also a handful of fixes and improvements coming to the game. And for players who have yet to purchase Vermintide 2, it's free to keep this weekend until November 7. Vermintide 2's latest free update is called Trail of Treachery, and the main focus here is on the new mission. The goal is to escort a caravan through the snowy mountain terrain down to the village of Tockstadt. And to say that the village is having a bad time would be an understatement. This mission is just part one of a two-part storyline, with the second half coming sometime in 2023. Since we're starting to enter winter, it seems like the perfect time for a map like this. And the calm setting of the snowy landscape may do well to complement the gory action of Vermintide 2. It ce... |

Since the launch of Death Stranding (which has been described as either great or boring, depending on who you ask), Kojima and his studio have been hard at work on their next game. Development has apparently advanced enough for Kojima to begin dropping teases (which have also been described as either great or boring, depending on who you ask). For the most part, the teases suggest that a reveal is forthcoming. However, footage of the game has apparently leaked online today — courtesy of a man with no shirt. As spotted by VGC, a YouTuber uploaded hand-recorded footage of the game — armed with nothing but a smartphone and hopefully a pair of pants. The streamer is shown recording the gameplay, which clearly looks to star Margaret Qualley as rumors have stated. Qualley also starred in Death Stranding, and many believe it's her face seen in the recent Kojima teasers ... |
