PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 4:02 PM  Destiny 2 recycled content is becoming an issue. Players have pointed out that stagnant seasonal activities, reissued weapons, guns that look similar to precursors, and even map areas that resemble previously-used assets make it feel as though the Bungie team is taking shortcuts with its content development process. Destiny 2 content repurposing is nothing new. The recent Destiny 2 King's Fall raid is a reworked version of the original version of the raid, which appeared in the original Destiny's The Taken King. This season, players who engage in the FPS game's competitive Crucible can earn Rose, a hand cannon also reprised from the first Destiny game. This season's Iron Banner armour set is also a reissue of a popular set from Destiny.

It's neat to see some silly stats, even neater to see a Black Panther with a power level that tops 8 million. A normal number would be, like, 16.

Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon marks the return of the mechs they used to make before Demon's Souls set them on a different, swordier path, and IGN have just published a big interview that pokes into what bearing the Soulsbourne lineage might have on a game about flying mechs with guns and missiles.
Armored Core director (and Sekiro lead designer) Masaru Yamamura welcomed Sekiro comparisons, while FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki was keen to stress they're treating it as an Armored Core game rather than a Soulsborne game.

The first male character is about to debut in Them's Fightin' Herds, as the Texas DLC will drop on December 19, 2022. People will be able to get him alone for $4.99. However, if they have $19.99 Season 1 Pass, they will already get the character when he debuts. Texas might already be a familiar character to people playing Them's Fightin' Herds.

When people get his add-on, they also get a lobby avatar and his Caravan Cattledome stage. Here's the newest character DLC trailer for Them's Fightin' Herds. Texas is voiced by Patrick Seitz. People may recognize him as the voice of Jeritza in Fire Emblem games like Three Houses, Victor in Soul Hackers 2, and Ladiva in Granblue Fantasy Versus. Texas is the second DLC to show up for Them's Fightin' Herds so far. The last one was Shanty, a pirate goat. Likewise, her add-on also included a lobby avatar and additional stage. Them's Fightin' Herds is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Texas DLC will appear on December 19, 2022.
