With the Starfield release date a ways off, it's interesting to hear how the work of SpaceX influences Howard and the NASA-punk style aesthetic and universe the team at Bethesda has been building over the last few years for its next open world game.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 30, 2022 9:22 AM  Marvel's Midnight Suns, the new strategy game from XCOM developer Firaxis that trades out soldiers and percentages for superheroes and a deck of cards, almost had Deadpool as a character in the base game, but the team decided against it as they were worried he'd end up a dominant presence in the game's story. On top of that, the character based DLCs will also actually have more content than those already in the game in a few ways - if that sounds interesting to you, our Marvel's Midnight Suns review dives into one of the best strategy games in years.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 30, 2022 9:01 AM  When I signed up to write our Marvel's Midnight Suns review, I didn't expect to play what I can confidently say is the sleeper hit of the year. Over the course of sixty hours, the superhero game has continued to surprise me with brain teasing challenges, well-developed characters, and much, much more. Suffice to say, Firaxis has crafted a truly excellent tactical RPG that's worthy of a place alongside the XCOM series and already has me hungry for more.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 30, 2022 7:38 AM  Another Fortnite Rick and Morty crossover could well be on the cards if this leak is true. The battle royale game from Epic is no stranger to the gross-out adult comedy, and we've already got a few characters running around as a result. However, it's unusual for there to be a new loading screen for no reason, and it could also tie into the Fortnite Chapter 3 Fracture event, or maybe Fortnite chapter 4 season 1.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 30, 2022 6:56 AM  Want a roundup of the latest Diablo 4 release date speculation and news? Announced during BlizzCon 2019, the upcoming entry in the demon-slaying action RPG game series has had many different teasers and trailers. These have showcased the various Diablo 4 classes we can use to take on the hordes of monsters that block the way between the horned lord of the underworld and us. The roster of playable classes includes transforming druids, spell-flinging wizards, and somersaulting rogues. Each class has unique combat skills to weave through every shambling zombie, skittering demon, and colossal terror that awaits you in these dank, hallowed halls. So far, so familiar, but that's hardly going to upset the series' devoted fans. However, despite a relatively open development process, players have been left to speculate when the Diablo 4 release date might be.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 30, 2022 7:40 AM  The best VR headset could take your gaming PC setup to the next level, especially if you're looking to play games like Half-Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Resident Evil 4. Sure, today's virtual reality tech is more Lawnmower Man than Ready Player One, but concepts like the metaverse and augmented reality (AR) are all seemingly a part of what's to come. Choosing the best VR headset seems simple on the surface, but there are industry changes in motion that could complicate venturing into virtual reality. For starters, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has ditched its iconic Oculus branding in favour of a new Meta Quest label. While this means the Oculus Quest 3 will likely arrive with a different moniker, metaverse devices like the Meta Quest Pro are now a priority for the social media giant. Of course, Meta isn't the only player within the VR space, as HTC, Valve, and Quest rivals like the Pico 4 are also in the running. Each headset contributes to immersive gaming in its own way, so it's important to consider the specs, price, and drawbacks of each device.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, November 30, 2022 9:07 AM  Grand Theft Auto Online players are forbidden from using the game's roleplay servers for "commercial exploitation", according to new guidelines set out by developers Rockstar which includes selling loot boxes, virtual currencies, corporate sponsorships, and anything to do with cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Sorry, crypto bros. The ban on crypto and NFTs echoes Mojang's statement from this summer scuppering players who wanted to incorporate the controversial technologies into Minecraft. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, November 30, 2022 9:00 AM  For the last ten years, the XCOM designers at Firaxis have traded in 'if's and 'maybe's. If this shot lands, then maybe I can pull off this carefully calculated plan I'm brewing. It's exactly the kind of taut, knife-edge tension we've come to love and expect from their turn-based strategy games, but Marvel's Midnight Suns takes a different approach. As the titular demon hunters join forces with some famous Avengers faces to take down the evil sorceress Lilith and Marvel mega villain Chthon, there's never any question about whether your moves will or won't work here. You're playing as the world's most powerful superheroes. Of course, they're going to work. And forget about cowering behind knee-high cover walls, too, because if you're not already bulletproof, you've certainly got the reflexes and supercharged muscle mass to soak up anything Lilith's Hydra minions are going to chuck at you. Question is, by tipping the power scales in your favour like this, do you risk destroying that delicate balance of risk and reward? At first glance, it's easy to think a more reliable set of heroes would end up dulling what made Firaxis' XCOM games so special, but the result is something equally thrilling. Given how the Marvel machine has drawn in and chewed up so much singular creative talent in the wider MCUniverse, Firaxis emerging with their cred intact is nothing short of extraordinary. Not only have they endured their radioactive spider bite, they've come out bigger and better for it, creating not only the best Marvel game I've played, but one of the best superhero games full stop. |

Did you meet Nurse Miriam in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? There's a chance someone might not. The NPC is someone who appears at Naranja Academy and Uva Academy, but only once someone gets started on their adventure in earnest. The only reason you might even find out she exists is if you're stopping by regularly to visit campus. If you do, you can get a reward for taking the time to visit and inspire her.
How to Find Nurse Miriam in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.Head to the academy in Mesagoza. After entering, go to the directory to choose a place to visit by heading to an inside door. When you do, you'll see the Nurse's Office is an option. There will be an exclamation point next to it and her icon showing she's there. Talk to her to introduce yourself and find out a bit about her and her dreams.
What Kind of Reward Do You Get for Befriending Nurse Miriam in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?Miriam is an easy source of 10 Max Revives. These can come in exceptionally handy if you're about to challenge the Elite Four! Coincidentally, you get these ten items after speaking with her four times after making progress in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Now, I only just discovered she was there after I'd already finished the Path of Legends and Starfall Street storylines. This meant I was able to finish off all four in quick succession. For the first two conversations, she'll be in her office. For the third, she'll be in the Entrance Hall on the first floor, just past the front desk near the staircase. The final conversation takes place in the Nurse's Office again and is when you'll get your reward for getting to know her. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch.

Crunchyroll Games announced a game adaptation of novel and anime series The Eminence in Shadow (a.k.a. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) launched. Formally titled The Eminence in Shadow Master of Garden, the game is available to download on iOS and Android devices. Check out the game's launch trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUI66uvo3SI The Eminence in Shadow Master of Garden is based on the anime and novel series created by author Daisuke Aizawa. The story begins with a young man living in modern-day Japan having an ambition to become as strong as possible. His desire for strength comes not from wanting attention, but to be a power that blends in with the crowd and operates from the shadows. Those ambitions are cut short when he's run over by a truck. Fortunately, though, he is reincarnated into a magical world as Cid Kagenou, scion of a noble family. From there he takes on a pseudonym, "Shadow," and lives out his fantasies by founding Shadow Garden, a group dedicated to fighting a sinister cult that he also thought up himself. Or so he thought. The cult he thought was a mere roleplay gambit turns out to be real, and before long, Cid must become a true shadowy mastermind and fight back against the darkness of a new world. The game is a free-to-play mobile RPG supported by gacha elements. Players will engage in the story adapted from The Eminence in Shadow anime and novels, and encounter characters from throughout the series. Combat takes place on a side-scrolling plane, with flashy animations for special attacks, as well. Players who join the game during the launch period will receive a bonus of 4,000 Phantasm Gems (premium currency) thanks to the pre-registration campaign. Beginner objectives and early game missions will also net new players a free SS-rarity Rose character, free rolls on the gacha, and more Phantasm Gems. The Eminence in Shadow Master of Garden is available on iOS and Android, except in East Asia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. A PC version is planned for later release. The anime series premiered during the Fall 2022 anime season, and streams on Crunchyroll. The novels are published in English by Yen Press.
