If you're looking for information on Warzone 2 season 1, we've got your back. The sequel to one of the world's most popular battle royale games is here, and with it comes the first of many seasons of new cosmetics, in-game events, and weapons.

Each future season of Warzone 2 will likely have a theme, with some of the original Warzone seasons going as far as changing the map itself. Some of the most notable changes from the original Warzone were the addition of Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard for the 80's Action Hero update and the spooky overhaul of the entire map for the Haunting of Verdansk.

The stock version of the STB 556 already has excellent recoil, so we've used attachments that improve the gun's accuracy, bullet velocity, and mobility. This weapon is surprisingly effective on Al Mazrah, especially when used alongside long range weapons like sniper rifles, marksman rifles, and battle rifles which are a new addition to the battle royale game.

Hot on the heels of their Solium Infernum announcement at the end of September, the studio behind strategy RPG Armello have announced another new game they're working on during tonight's PC Gaming Show Preview stream. It's called Jumplight Odyssey (or "J-Lo" for short, as League Of Geeks studio director and co-founder Trent Kusters affectionately referred to it during an early preview presentation I attended last week), and it's a starship roguelite colony sim that has big 70s anime vibes. Specifically, Star Blazers, the English adaptation of Leiji Matsumoto's seminal Space Battleship Yamato, with which Jumplight shares a lot of its core visual DNA.

In it, you play as Princess Euphora, who's on a mission to save her people from the space conquering Zutopans, jumping from planet to planet in search of their Forever Star. It's not due to arrive in early access until sometime next year, but I've seen a sneak peek of it running in an early alpha build, and lemme tell ya. FTL, Rimworld and Two Point Hospital likers (bear with me on that last one) are going to want to take note of this.

goat simulator 3 review

So I incurred the wrath of God the other day, which really got in the way of my finding a gas station bathroom key in time to attend a local IBS meet up. Fortunately, it didn't get in the way of my working on a public sculpture and attending a comic con. It wasn't that I experienced a really strange day. Rather, I spent about an hour with Goat Simulator 3. The sandbox simulator known for chucking goats (and "goats") into strange spaces and letting physics and bugs take over is exactly what you'd expect. That is, it is a good time, albeit one that might involve an issue or two even after the day-one patch.

If you're coming to Goat Simulator 3 expecting a story, you picked up the wrong game. This is 100% a chance to go wild and explore. Yes, it begins with a sendup of Skyrim's opening, with a too-long monologue involving an exploitative farmer and multiple goats trapped in a cart, heading to their "doom." (I.e. an ordinary life on a farm used by said farmer.) However, you're special. After the exposition, you're inducted into the Illuminati. But once that's done, your life is your own. Be the goat you want to be.

Goat Simulator 3 review

That means you could honestly be "nice." There are quests you can happen upon that involve aiding the humans. One of the first ones you'll find involves fixing a piece of farm equipment. Another one nearby entails unlocking a bathroom for a person in need. Neutral quests exist too. For example, designing a costume at a comic convention. Once that's done, NPCs around you will start rocking your "look." Then, there are the more chaotic, possibly even evil, missions. For example, you finish a piece of art in progress by… uh… abducting people and hanging them on it. Or in another case, you'll be tasked with finding three NPCs who dared to (gasp) whistle. There are essentially six regions of the map, with each area offering its own identity. Unlocking the Goat Tower in each one makes things visible, allowing you to see roads and points of interest.

In addition to these more visible missions, which pop up with obvious green exclamation points on a map, there are instincts. You start out with basic ones that serve to act as a tutorial to familiarize someone with the controls. As you find Instinct Shrines in the world, you get tips about other activities. One might be to bounce 10 times on a trampoline. (It is harder than it sounds.) Another involves starting a fire so a fire truck comes to put out, which means you complete the Instinct to drive a fire truck. These get you karma.

Tony Shark

Which is one of the many sorts of "unlockable" kinds of goals in Goat Simulator 3. Karma could be spent on customization options or different sorts of goats. For example, Tony Shark is a shark on a skateboard with a floppy tongue. Tall Goat is a giraffe. I appreciated that it felt like these each could play differently, due to things like Tony Shark being lower to the ground. The Goat Towers are the Illuminati headquarters and require points to unlock. How? Be a goat. Go through the missions. Experiment with what the world has to offer. They go up with basically any kind of action, including finding new towers, and unlock things like new customization items.

As for that patch, I actually held off on writing my review until after launch. This is due to some minigames relying on multiplayer and my experiencing a few crashes ahead of the update. Fortunately, things were much more stable once applying the fixes. Yes, there are still some issues of stuttering, clipping, or occasional texture pop-in. However, given the kind of game this is, that's expected. The worst issue I experienced would be big frame rate drops. I'd say instead of being 60 FPS, it can get to 30 FPS or so if there were a lot of cars, players, or activity.

Goat Simulator 3 review

As for those multiplayer minigames… they're fine. I get the feeling local multiplayer would be the ideal way to play. Goat Simulator is more of an experience, and Goat Simulator 3 is the same way. Some are better than others. I liked Prop Hunt, which is a take on hide and seek, a lot. Whatever you lick is what you hide as, and the seeker headbutts to find folks. The Floor is Lava is good too, as it relies on skills you built jumping, climbing, and platforming to avoid lava the longest. I didn't care for Car Derby as much, as I wasn't a fan of the driving controls in general. That's the demolition derby. Headsplat, which involves headbutting to paint things ala Splatoon in the hopes of being the one with the most coverage, also ended up being so-so when I played with others.

Goat Simulator 3 is exactly what you expect from a game dedicated to celebrating parodies, exploring the weirdness of game physics, and running around the world as a "chaotic good" or "chaotic evil" goat. It can be a lot of fun! Sometimes, it can break! I still see pop-in issues after the day one patch and find myself getting stuck. Still, even when it isn't perfect, it's a good time. It manages to be irreverent, but simultaneously irrelevant and relevant.

Goat Simulator 3 is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival Hololive Event Begins

Six Hololive Vtubers and a song they performed arrived in Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival. As a Hololive Golden Game Week reward, Houshou Marine, Kazama Iroha, Momosuzu Nene, Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, and Takane Lui all appear in-game. So does their song, "Roppon no Bara to Sai no Uta." However, only subscribers get to access the content and its associated accessories. While the activity to "earn" this was a Hololive Japan one, it is appearing in the game worldwide.

Here's the announcement that appears in-game revealing the event. It points out "Roppon no Bara to Sai no Uta" is a Taiko Music Pass song. (That service costs $3.99 for a 30-day pass.) If you play the song, you can get puchi characters of Flare, Kazama, Lui, Marine, Nene, and Noel. These can be equipped alongside your avatar.

The official Japanese YouTube channel uploaded a music video to go along with the crossover. It features the song people will be able to play in-game. While there are Taiko no Tatsujin references, such as a Don statue and a hint of gameplay footage, it primarily focuses on the Hololive Vtubers.

Another Pokemon game upon us, and it's going to be a little different than folks expect. Taking what it learned from Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are going to be a bit different. You'll have different main "storylines" you can follow. It's more of an open-world game, allowing you to choose what you do and where you go whenever you like. The battle system is also more like Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as things happen in the moment instead of in a specific battle screen. But it might leave you wondering if you should buy Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, or if another entry would be better for you.

Should You Buy Pokemon Scarlet or Violet?

Do You Want a More Traditional Pokemon Experience?

I'd say go with Pokemon Sword or Shield. these are the traditional Pokemon games on the Switch. You're a young adult again! You head out to challenge the Pokemon league! The battle system is the same as usual! The multiplayer is limited to raids, trading, and regular competitive fights. It should work out for you.

Lets Go Pikachu

Is Your Only Pokemon Experience with Pokemon GO?

Pick up Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Eevee!. This is a reimagining of Pokemon Yellow, one of the original Game Boy games. You won't have to worry about a ton of Pokemon. Capturing will be like you remember in Pokemon GO, tossing balls until you get what you want. You can even bring your characters from Pokemon GO into it. It's a very relaxed experience.

Should You Buy Pokemon Scarlet or Violet?

Do You Want a Pokemon Scarlet or Violet-like Experience, but Different?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet seems like an experimental pair of games. If you want to continue that trend and play something that is Pokemon, but not like Pokemon, get Pokemon Legends: Arceus or New Pokemon Snap. The former is a more freeform game with missions, specific areas to explore, Pokemon to catch and fight, and a more action-RPG vibe. The latter is an on-rails "shooter," except you're essentially a Pokemon paparazzi snapping pictures of characters as you travel through different areas.

Should You Buy Pokemon Scarlet or Violet?

Should You Buy Pokemon Scarlet or Violet?

I mean, if you want! If you're on the fence, it's probably best to wait until reviews are live and other people you know and trust played it. That way, you can get some expressions from other players to see if it is something you'd like.

As to which version, both will be equally good! There are a few minor exclusives in each one. But in general, you're getting a new Pokemon experience either way.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
