Kotaku Friday, December 2, 2022 11:50 AM  Within the many, many aspects of the new Pokémon Scarlet And Violet (PSV), from its Gym campaign to its Titan-battling storyline, is one feature that is easily forgotten: its Academy lessons.

Kotaku Friday, December 2, 2022 10:10 AM  Rumors are swirling that Nintendo may have underplayed its hand with yesterday's Pokémon Scarlet and Violet patch announcement, with some suggesting that the worst of the framerate issues have been significantly improved.

PCGamesN Friday, December 2, 2022 11:48 AM  What are the best card games on PC? It is not a question we would have been asking a few years ago, when some basic ports of paper-based systems and some minigames in larger titles were all we had access to. Now, there are heaps of games like Hearthstone vying to be among the best card games on PC - it is one of the quickest growing genres in the industry. The best card games offer players a rich and constantly shifting meta, potentially limitless replayability, and are approachable to boot - so it is not hard to see why card games have taken off in recent years. What that means is somebody (us) needs to lay down the objective truth (subjective opinion) on which are best card games on PC (the ones we enjoy the most). We will cover everything from the biggest player in the genre today (you will never guess which that is), the best ports from paper, the up-and-comers you might not have heard of, and some of the best free card games out there.

PCGamesN Friday, December 2, 2022 10:00 AM  After months of pleading by the community, players can now unlock Genshin Impact outfits. This system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, but the developers have been slow to give every character an outfit. One of the big questions surrounding the Genshin Impact outfits was how skins were planned to be distributed in the free PC game. As Genshin Impact locks characters behind gacha mechanics, players were worried that skins may be sold using the same system. There are two methods to unlock events: purchase the skin for 1680 Genesis Crystals, or complete a specific event. If you happen to miss the event, the skin will make its way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future. Here are all of the Genshin Impact outfits so far.

PCGamesN Friday, December 2, 2022 9:32 AM  Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 59 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favourites can be challenging. Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. That being said, if your favourite Genshin Impact character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. In general, being on a high tier means that the character is the best Genshin Impact character in their role, is not too difficult to build, and performs well regardless of teammates. Being on a lower tier means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. Just to note, the characters are not ranked within their own tier, and with that out of the way, let's take a look at our ranking of characters in our Genshin Impact tier list.

PCGamesN Friday, December 2, 2022 7:41 AM  Looking for Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favourite TikTok songs in games with your friends. So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out. In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in December 2022: Continue reading Roblox music codes December 2022 – the best song IDs MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best Roblox games, Roblox promo codes, Roblox music codes |

In particular, Darktide players are miffed that the co-op action game offers bundles of its Aquila premium currency that fall just short of the cost of some items in the store, meaning you'd have to stump up for several bundles to afford those. Taking to Darktide's Discord to ask why you can't just buy a specific amount of Aquilas for the items you want, one player was told by a spokesperson for Fatshark that adding such a feature would be "immeasurably complex". |

Bandai Namco announced a sales milestone for Digimon Survive. The game, which is a hybrid between a tactical title and visual novel, passed 500,000 units sold worldwide. This comes following multiple discounts in November 2022 that dropped its price. Here's the official announcement. As a reminder, the game debuted worldwide on July 29, 2022. This means it took about four months to reach almost half a million units sold.
This news arrives after multiple Digimon Survive sales appeared over Black Friday 2022. For example, GameStop dropped the game's price to $17. That discount is still in effect. While Switch copies were sold out as of 10am ET on December 2, 2022, PS4 ones were still available at that price. The Switch version is also $41.99 in the eShop until December 4, 2022. As a reminder, this is a darker sort of Digimon game. After a group of teenagers pass through a tunnel during a storm, they find themselves in a world full of Digimon. They need to work alongside their partners to stay alive. Digimon Survive is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

Japanese Switch owners that want to get post-atomic fit can get a taste of the routine. The Japanese eShop now hosts a Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star demo, downloadable by any with a Japanese Nintendo account. [Thanks, Famitsu!] The Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star demo is playable and features two playable boxing instructors. The first is Kenshiro, master of the Hokuto Shinken fighting style and protagonist of the series. Mamiya, the wasteland warrior, is the second instructor. Instructors coach players through the different routines, giving them the rhythm-based cues to punch to. The demo gives players three days worth of regular gameplay. Being a fitness game, Fitness Boxing typically organizes workouts on a daily routine. The demo for Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star contains a three-day daily training routine, as well as a "fierce battle" stage set up against Shin. Fierce Battle stages set up fights against various goons, and a prominent antagonist from the series. In this case, you can take out some wasteland punks, as well as battle against Shin himself. Shin is the villain of the first story arc in Fist of the North Star. A successor of the Nanto Koshu Ken style, Shin coveted Kenshiro's wife, Yuria. He attacked and incapacitated Kenshiro, leaving him with seven scars on his chest in the shape of the Big Dipper constellation. Shin then took on the name "King," conquering a part of the wasteland and building Southern Cross City to win Yuria's affection. Kenshiro recovered and set off on a quest for revenge, which is covered in the first volume of the Fist of the North Star manga. The Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star demo is available on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop. The game launches in Japan on December 22, 2022, and globally in March 2023.

People can now call dibs on "budget" Danganronpa Junko Enoshima and Chihiro Fujisaki ahead of their 2023 debuts. Chihiro will show up in Japan in April 2023, then come to North America in June 2023. Meanwhile, Junko will return to Japan in May 2023 and follow in North America shortly after. Her original release's figure is still widely available worldwide. Both the Junko and Chihiro Danganronpa figures are static ones. They wear their outfits from the original game. Both will be under or just about seven inches tall.

Danganronpa's Makoto and Danganronpa 2's Hajime and Mikan will eventually appear. Pre-orders will close for both the Danganronpa Junko Enoshima and Chihiro Fujusaki Pop Up Parade figures on January 6, 2023. The Chihiro figure will debut in Japan on April 2023 and come to North America in June 2023. The Junko reprint figure will appear after May 2023 worldwide.

HoYoVerse announced the Honkai Impact 3rd 6.2 release date. The next update will appear on December 8, 2022. It already confirmed one new element of it. That is when the Ai Hyperion Λ battlesuit, a playable version of Ai-chan for Honkai Impact 3rd, will debut. It will also mark the appearance of a new The Honkai Salvation Log event and Herrscher of Thunder Character Card. First, Ai Hyperion Λ: Chrono Navi is an SP MECH battlesuit. She uses a chakram to attack. When she does, her attacks can deal fire damage.

You'll be in digital space with her. Among the rewards for doing so will be the Spectral Raven Midnight Absinthe outfit for Raven. Also, as players are still on the moon, there will be other activities and rewards. Both Iron Mirage and Remains of the Old World will involve exploring.

Hideo Kojima dropped a new teaser for his new Kojima Productions game. The latest reveal, which comes via Kojima's official Twitter account, invites viewers to "Start a new journey." Accompanied by three mysterious symbols, the teases are widely rumored to be connected to an in-development Death Stranding 2. https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1598512751436890114 Kojima's tweet features three mysterious symbols, at least one of which appeared on earlier teases confirming the involvement of actress Elle Fanning. One symbol is a logo for something called the "Automated Public Assistance Company." The second symbol was present on the Fanning teaser, and depicts a mysterious structure under an umbrella-like shape. The third symbol shows a tentacled creature pierced by harpoons. Exactly what the symbols mean is unknown, but they appear to be corporate or organizational logos of some kind. The latest teases appear to be leading up to a reveal set for the 2022 Game Awards show. The Game Awards official Twitter account, as well as the account of creator and host Geoff Keighley, responded to Kojima's tease with hints that more will be revealed at the show on December 8, 20222, when the show goes live. As for the connection to Death Stranding 2, that is also unconfirmed, though actor and Death Stranding star Norman Reedus did confirm that production is under way on the game. Kojima Productions is working on at least two projects. One is likely Death Stranding 2, while another, codenamed or titled "Overdose" appears to be connected to actress Margaret Qualley (who played Mama in Death Stranding). Some footage and screenshots of project Overdose leaked in early November. The post Hideo Kojima Teases Possible Death Stranding 2 Symbols appeared first on Siliconera. |

As a reminder going into the weekend, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can now attempt a Tera Raid to catch a Charizard. This is the first of two periods offering the Kanto starter's final form. It is the only way to get one in-game, at the moment, and people can only catch it once. First, you need to get to the open-world portion of the game. If you already beat it and are in the postgame, you might start seeing black Tera Raid crystal dens on the map and while walking around. If you haven't beaten the game yet and are a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber, then checking the Tera Raid section in the Poke Portal might result in seeing others' raids for it. These will only appear in-game between December 1-4, 2022 and 15-18, 2022. [gallery size="full" columns="2" ids="941878,941879" link="file"] If you face Charizard and defeat it, you get multiple possible rewards. You can catch it once. If you do, you get a level 100 Charizard with the dragon Tera type, a "Charizard the Unrivaled" Mightiest Mark, and the moves Dragon Pulse, Fire Blast, Focus Blast, and Hurricane. Other possible rewards from the fight include items like an Ability Patch item, Dragon Tera Shards, Exp. Candy Ls, Exp. Candy XLs, Modest Mints, Nugget, and TM 157: Overheat. There are a few other things to note about the Charizard in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, like it is breedable. If you have a picnic with it and a compatible Pokemon like a Ditto, you can get eggs. It also won't show up in your Poke Dex. Also, the official site confirmed there might be more ways to get Charizard in the game later. It noted it could appear during events. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is available for the Nintendo Switch. The post PSA: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Charizard Can Be Caught Once appeared first on Siliconera. |

The Nintendo Stores are debuting some new Splatoon-based merchandise items that'll be familiar to avid players of the game. The Splatoon 3 water bottle in particular replicates the look of the in-game Ink Tank toted by Inklings and Octolings. The items debuted as part of the selection at the Nintendo Stores in Osaka and Tokyo [gallery size="medium" ids="941861,941862,941863" link="file"] Like the in-game Ink Tank worn by the combatants, the Splatoon 3 Water Bottle is actually more of a water bag or pack. It doesn't have rigid sides, so it can be flattened and stored away when empty. It has measuring lines on the design, as well as a telltale red line. In-game the red line typically shows how much ink is needed to use a player's sub-weapon. The bottle also includes a suction nozzle, safety cap, and a carabiner to hang it from a bag. The bottle costs 1,210 Yen (about $10 USD). Besides the Splatoon 3 water bottle, other items are on sale in the wave of new Splatoon merchandise at the Nintendo stores. One artificially distressed t-shirt resembles the default shirt given to Inklings at the start of the game. It costs 4,620 Yen (about $35 USD). A set of foldable umbrellas comes in the signature blue and yellow colors of Splatoon 3. Their carrying cases also resemble the Ink Tank design. They cost 3,960 Yen each (about $30 USD). And a hooded towel keeps its user dry at the beach or pool. Other gear items include bags, pouches, and a set of key chains sculpted after Little Buddy. [gallery size="medium" ids="941864,941865,941866,941867,941868,941869" link="file"] The new Splatoon 3 water bottle and other merchandise are available at the Nintendo Stores in Japan. The game itself is on Nintendo Switch. The post Splatoon 3 Water Bottle is Based on the Ink Tank appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, December 2, 2022 11:00 AM  As December kicks off, we've got a new lineup of games joining PC Game Pass to round off 2022. This month's first round-up of games consists of a variety of different titles. There's a good mix of new and classic games this month with a few that are definitely worth trying out. So, let's jump straight in and see what's in store. Starting today, three games will be available for PC Game Pass to start off December 2022.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, December 2, 2022 9:41 AM  Every time I play Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, I brace myself for the initial waiting. After starting the game on Steam, I then have to press play on the launcher. After selecting my character, I usually have to wait around four minutes just to get into a server. Spending five minutes of pure waiting when I go to play a game is a great way to put me in a bad mood. But Darktide is quite fun once you get past the hurdles, at least. The action is violent and satisfying, and the teamwork makes for compelling play sessions. The game's surprisingly poor optimization is another stumbling block, but I'm sure it'll get there. Well, eventually. As is usual among these types of team-oriented action games, you can select from multiple classes. Two of them are geared towards range and the others are melee-focused. I mained a Zealot, which is the less tanky tank. Each class has some unique weapons and abilities. The big tank class, the Ogryn, can charge toward enemies and knock th... |
