PCGamesN Sunday, November 20, 2022 12:09 PM  BattleBit Remastered aims to pick up the crown that Battlefield 2042 has seemingly dropped as its developer runs a series of public, free-to-play stress tests for the low-poly, massively multiplayer FPS game. Putting function over form, BattleBit Remastered aims to emphasise that gameplay is king in the competitive FPS genre - and, given that many top players in games like Modern Warfare 2, CS:GO, and Overwatch 2 crank their settings down to minimum for optimal performance, perhaps they're right.

PCGamesN Sunday, November 20, 2022 12:02 PM  The WoW Dragonflight Dracthyr have very much taken centre stage in all of the footage of the next World of Warcraft expansion, but given they blend both class and race together in the form of Evoker, will we see a warrior version enter the MMORPG? The answer is a pretty resounding no. RELATED LINKS: Best MMORPGs on PC, The best WoW addons, WoW Dragonflight preview |
PCGamesN Sunday, November 20, 2022 11:16 AM  The Warzone 2 backpack and looting system has seen some major and minor changes in the new battle royale game, some of which are good and some of which are bad. While the Call of Duty multiplayer game is clearly undergoing growing pains, just like the original Warzone, there are a few things being pointed out about backpacks and looting in Warzone 2 that will need some tweaking in the FPS game.

Thankfully, the best Sims 4 custom content creators are always hard at work creating plenty of fantastic ways to keep your youngsters busy. That should give their parents a chance to focus on doing important adult things (we're of course talking about tidying up all that Sims 4 clutter, not employing more of the best Sims 4 sex mods, so get your head out of the gutter).

PCGamesN Sunday, November 20, 2022 10:06 AM  In somewhat unsurprising news, Mortal Kombat 12 could be the next NetherRealm game we see in action, with series co-creator Ed Boon suggesting that we might see more characters from MK's 3D era "soon." As one of the best fighting games on PC, the success of Mortal Kombat 11 has led to plenty of speculation that it might leapfrog Injustice 3 development to take precedence over the DC comics superhero game.

They say the project, which took them around two months to complete, was a test to try and hunt for high runes on their solo self-found character in an attempt to perfect their Diablo 2: Resurrected Sorceress build.

PCGamesN Sunday, November 20, 2022 7:23 AM  Despite the Modern Warfare 2 M4 being one of the few guns you start with in the Call of Duty FPS game it's actually an incredibly robust choice of weapon, especially if you unlock some other attachments and use Modern Warfare 2 weapon tuning on it. Developer Infinity Ward seems to agree as a rather amusing glitch is giving all players M4s, no matter what starting weapon you pick in the multiplayer game, and the team is now working on a fix for the issue.

Those who use the Crunchyroll streaming service may be familiar with the company mascot Crunchyroll-Hime, and soon she will star in a game. Limited Run Games will sell a Game Boy Color game featuring her, titled Hime's Quest. It is in pre-production. It will come out in Winter 2022 and cost $44.99. People will also be able to play it for free in browsers and download a GBC rom of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TThT3jHqmW0& Pre-orders will close on December 25, 2022. You can get a physical cartridge for the game when you purchase it, as well as the manual and a poster. If you purchase from the Crunchyroll store, you can get the cartridge in the signature Crunchyroll orange. Limited Run Games offers a blue cartridge. Here are some screenshots from the game: [gallery ids="940700,940699,940698" link="file"] The plot of the game puts you in the shoes of Crunchyroll-Hime. You have to save your club from Y2K, as the nefarious bug threatens the Anime Club's DVD/VCR combo player. Y2K is a reference to the Millennium Bug, and was the belief that computer programs would simply stop working when it became 2000. Many people believed that the bug would destroy global infrastructure as computers became unable to function, and stocked up on supplies as if it was the apocalypse. It will play like a hack-and-slash. Hime will traverse through dungeons, deserts, and haunted forests in order to save the Anime Club. It will also contain lots of references to Japanese anime and manga culture. For example, Junji Ito is in this game and he loves spirals. This alludes to Uzumaki. Hime's Quest will come out in Winter 2022. It will be playable in browsers, via a rom, or on the Game Boy Color. You can pre-order it from Limited Run Games or from the official Crunchyroll store until December 23, 2022.

It is a hectic time of year. As someone in the US, the drama surrounding the November 2022 elections got to me. Holidays are around the corner. Even though I've gotten my latest COVID vaccine booster and my flu shot, it seems like everyone I know is getting sick with something. Not to mention jumping back into a job I loved again and needing to get up to speed, making sure I'm doing all I can for people who depend upon me. It can get to be a lot. Which is why I'm more thankful than ever Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven-Day Journey released this year and can't recommend it enough. Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation is basically a Boku no Natsuyasumi game with Crayon Shin-chan flavoring. That means the goal is to "be." It is summer vacation. Shin-chan is in a tiny rural village called Assou for a week. Do whatever you want while you are there. Spend your days how you'd like. Catch bugs. Fish. Talk with people around you. Buy snacks. Get involved in folks' lives. It is a game about experiences. Don't save scum. Take things as they come. When you're done, go back for another week.
Not unlike Animal Crossing titles, Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation does give you both spoken and unspoken goals. Restaurants put up bulletin boards asking for certain vegetables. Shin-chan can grow things at Kurokami farm to meet those requests for pocket money. There are Fish and Insect Encyclopediae to fill up. (To make things easy, there'll be a sparkle when you see certain new bugs, as a way to let you know that you need this one. It means there's still thought and effort required to accomplish tasks or make a difference. However, there's no pressure on you to do it. What I also loved is that while this is a Shin-chan game, it is welcoming to those unfamiliar with the series. All you need to know is he's a smart aleck kid. His precocious quips are kept to a minimum, and he's never malicious. Rather, he's a spunky lil' dude getting a chance to make a small town his own. The humor from the series isn't overwhelming. It comes up from time to time. The thing is that if it bothers you, it's usually a quick aside before you get the chance to move on and take in more of the town. However if you do want to embrace that silliness, there's that too! A good example is the dash button. It uses Shin-chan's "butt dance" to send him zipping around the screen. But in a more tasteful and minimalistic adjustment, it's the ability to determine how verbose he gets when chronicling his adventures. "Fastball" lays things out in a matter of fact way. You see the picture commemorating the memory and the facts. If you go with a Curveball, more of Shin-chan's personal flavor is added to the description. While not always "funny," it is always more memorable.
There even is a chance a chance to be competitive or get a little more "into" things. There are Dino Cards in Chocobi. If you get cards, you can fight children with your dinosaurs in the Dinosaur Shodown minigame. But again, the execution means it feels much less stressful than other card games. The stakes are low. You're fighting literal children. It's fine if you only use dinosaurs you like or don't make a heavy investment into collecting cards. Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation is a delight for the same reason Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Stardew Valley remain so welcoming. It is a way to escape to a perpetually pleasant world. There's a slower paced life here. It's one filled with joy, friends, family, and an optional "to-do list" you can chuck by the wayside. It's a delight, and the kind of game that will remain timeless as a result. Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven-Day Journey is available for the PS4, Switch, and PC.

Not only that, but you can occasionally get free performance upgrades in some cases, so keeping up with driver updates is worth it. If you're still new to PC gaming, it does help to know the basics of what a driver does so you know why you need to pay attention to updates. A driver is a lot like firmware. It's the software built specifically by the manufacturer of the hardware to tell other software like Windows OS and your games how to use the GPU resources correctly and efficiently. Games need to be programmed into drivers on an individual basis, so if you ever notice a new game running poorly or not at all, checking your Nvidia GPU driver version is a good place to start. Using GeForce Experience to update and install Nvidia drivers You have two options for how to update and install the latest Nvidia driver. The first option is ... |
