Kotaku Thursday, November 10, 2022 4:35 PM  Netflix just released a new trailer for Dragon Age: Absolution, which is a six-episode animated show about a magical heist made in collaboration with BioWare.

Kotaku Thursday, November 10, 2022 2:40 PM  If I was playing a video game this year, odds were high that I was also dealing with some sort of crafting system.

The update contains the same core BR experience, but adds a ton of interesting twists that'll surely shake some things up. |

Kotaku Thursday, November 10, 2022 11:50 AM  In a November 9 blog, as part of a stuffed first season, Call of Duty announced that it was introducing a pliable battle pass system to both Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0, a huge deviation from Call of Duty's norm. |
PCGamesN Thursday, November 10, 2022 5:40 PM  Call of Duty: Warzone 2 system requirements won't be a far cry from Modern Warfare 2 since the sequel is built on the same IW 9.0 engine. Fortunately, that means the minimum and recommended specs are pretty tame, but it's possible that the vast open battlefield and large lobbies might put a little more strain on your gaming PC.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 10, 2022 1:30 PM  Grand strategy game Victoria 3 has been out for a couple of weeks now, and while running a nation through the turbulent 19th century is a lot of fun, players have run into some rough edges and bugs. Game director Martin Anward has published a new dev diary that goes through some changes coming with update 1.1, which he says the team aims to have out before the end of the year, and it addresses one of my chief annoyances with the game.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 10, 2022 1:20 PM  What is the new Starfield persuasion system? First teased in March 2022, players were very briefly introduced to the all-new dialogue minigame in the space game. Starfield's game director, Todd Howard, spoke of it as "it feels like you're having a conversation where you're actually trying to persuade somebody of something." Then not much else was said about this intriguing new way of conversing with the NPCs in this RPG game. Luckily, Todd has since expanded on the Starfield persuasion system, giving fans a first-look at how it will work, what it'll cost you, and the mechanics behind persuading characters in the game to join up with your way of thinking. Let's take a look. RELATED LINKS: Starfield release date, Starfield ship design, Starfield Game Pass |

The shop features several display stands and window displays that offer up a random selection of goodies to buy with your in-game gold, with all manner of clothing and furniture on offer. However, some fans of the management game have been finding the shop a little understocked of late. RELATED LINKS: Best Disney games, Disney Dreamlight Valley guide, Best life sims |
PCGamesN Thursday, November 10, 2022 12:33 PM  The best Warzone 2 SMGs are a versatile group of weapons, able to fill in as a solid secondary when paired with one of the best Warzone 2 sniper rifles, or as a primary if you're the type of player who enjoys getting up close and personal. The best Warzone 2 SMG is currently the Fennec 45. This is thanks to its absurd rate of fire, meaning you'll never be caught short when an enemy is near. For when you want to extend the range of your SMG, there's the FSS Hurricane, perfect when coupled with a long-range option like the best Warzone 2 RAAL MG loadout.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 10, 2022 12:30 PM  The best Warzone 2 loadout drops have been officially confirmed in the battle royale game, giving players access to their custom setups built in Modern Warfare 2. When the devs first revealed Warzone 2 back in September, players weren't able to acquire entire loadouts from 'The Shop', Warzone's new buy stations. Instead, the shop featured the option to purchase custom weapons for a flat fee, but this decision has been reverted and loadout drops are back once more. Warzone 2 loadout drops contain both primary and secondary weapons, tactical and lethal equipment, as well as a perk package. Using Modern Warfare 2's create-a-class system, you can utilise your favourite loadouts on Al Mazrah. Once you call in a loadout drop, you need to keep an eye out for any flankers who may be on the lookout to take your hard earned reward.

If you're trying to increase your odds of winning the battle royale game, the easiest thing to do is to take a look at our guns list and add some of these weapons to your best Warzone 2 loadout drops.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 10, 2022 4:08 PM  I've been eagerly anticipating Pepper Grinder since I saw a series of tweets with GIFs several years ago. It's a pixel platformer in which the protagonist, Pepper, has a drill which she uses to plow through scenery, and a grappling hook for all the moments when she's not underground. It's now been officially announced with Devolver as publisher and there's a reveal trailer below. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 10, 2022 3:46 PM  Real-time tactics games have had a resurgence over the past five years, and that can be almost entirely credited to Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun.

They're working on adding modding to the game, and it will include being able to add and amend in-game items. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 10, 2022 12:00 PM  It's easy to place Dark Souls 2 in your crosshairs and take aim at its differences. Its map doesn't intertwine like Dark Souls 1 or 3. Lots of bosses do that thing where they summon in some mates and it's quite annoying. The atmosphere lacked that magic glaze. And yet, its quirks and frustrations make it one of my favourites. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 10, 2022 11:44 AM  I toyed around with this intro a lot, because I didn't want to start with a super pessimistic bang. But, for lack of a nicer way to put it, I'll simply say things are looking pretty scary out there, huh? Capitalism is failing, the economy is crumbling, and normal people have nothing left to give. It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, but I don't really talk about it. I keep it all inside, like a microwave holding a ball of tin foil while it spins on full power. At least, that was the case until I played Citizen Sleeper. It's a rather simple RPG inspired by tabletop roleplaying games, giving you a limited number of action dice that you can spend each day to receive consequences. Mechanically, it doesn't stretch much further than those actions and consequences, meaning I can instead focus on connecting with characters. In its simplicity, I found a cathartic way to process my thoughts on lots of scary stuff happening in our actual world. I also realised that Starfield, the big space game looming on the horizon which I was previously pretty excited about, just doesn't seem appealing anymore. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 10, 2022 11:32 AM  Lunistice is a 3D platformer inspired by the PSX/Sega Saturn era, but its high-speed movement reminds me of Sonic's 3D adventures, in a good way. Out today on PC and Switch, it was originally developed by solo dev A Grumpy Fox as a small 30-day project, but it quickly ballooned into something larger. It's now been over a year since A Grumpy Fox first started work on the game, but I think you can agree from the announcement trailer below, it's been time well spent. |

There are tons of Final Fantasy games out there. Mainline ones tell different stories over the years. Spin-offs continue storylines and act as crossovers. Sometimes you see character cameos in basketball games or board games. Mobile titles shut down. It's a lot to keep track of! Especially since Square Enix tends to port and remaster things. So, to help provide an informative resource, here's Siliconera's big list of Final Fantasy games you should know exist (or existed).
How to Play Final Fantasy Mainline Games OfficiallyOkay. First of all, here's how you can find all of the Final Fantasy mainline games on modern platforms. It's actually easy to play all of them!
Also, Final Fantasy XVI will appear on the PS5 in 2023. It also seems like it will appear on other platforms after the exclusivity arrangement expires.
Important Final Fantasy Spin-offs Worth Checking OutThere are a lot of games with the Final Fantasy moniker slapped onto them. Some sort of connect to the main series? Others do their own thing! All are valid.
And yes, the Final Fantasy Legend games aren't there. Those are SaGa games. Go check them out in Collection of SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend on the Switch. (Also, The Final Fantasy Adventure game is a SaGa title too, and it's in Collection of Mana on the Switch.) There are a number of Chocobo games too, ranging from roguelikes to sugoroku board games and racing titles. Since there are so much, they'd deserve their own article (eventually).
Final Fantasy Games That are Delisted or Otherwise Nearly Impossible to Play OfficiallyThere are a lot of Final Fantasy games that are just plain gone. These were mostly mobile titles that ran their course. Which means "officially," you can't get and play them anymore.

The GundamInfo website uploaded an official English-language translation of the Gundam Witch from Mercury prologue novel. You can read it at immediately. Titled Cradle Planet, the tale is tagged as a novel, but is more of a short story in terms of length. Ichiro Okouchi, screenwriter for the anime, wrote it. Okouchi also contributed to series like Turn A Gundam, Azumanga Daioh, RahXephon, Code Geass, Valvrave the Liberator, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Heavy Obect, Devilman Crybaby, and SK8 The Infinity. Eriko Sugita translated the Gundam Witch from Mercury prologue novel into English from its original Japanese. The story takes place after the prologue anime episode that aired before the series premiered. You'll need to watch it to get necessary context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGW2JRxWUU The novel begins when protagonist Suletta Mercury and her mother moved to Mercury after the events of the prologue episode. The story is written not from Suletta's perspective, but from that of Gundam Aerial, Suletta's mobile suit. In the series proper, Suletta often refers to Aerial as a member of her own family, and the story illustrates why. Aerial seems to be intelligent. Aerial sees Suletta as her own sister. The Gundam Witch From Mercury prologue novel details Aerial's perspective as Suletta decides to attend the Asticassia School of Technology, despite being unaware of their mother's plans to use her children to get revenge on those who wronged them. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury airs on various streaming services and the GundamInfo YouTube channel.
