Kotaku Tuesday, February 8, 2022 8:35 PM  The International Game Developers Association has been an outspoken critic of the culture at companies like Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard that has led to so many lawsuits, departures and firings over the last few years. Yet a report today by GI.Biz says that the group has failed to act on its own internal problems. |
Kotaku Tuesday, February 8, 2022 8:05 PM If NFTs are a scam—and they are, I'm just going through the rhetorical motions in building a sentence here—then The Sandbox is one of the biggest engines driving them in the video game space. So it makes perfect sense that it's the location for Ubisoft's next foray into the world of all this bullshit. |

PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 6:58 PM  This isn't a new development, but we're now in an era where some emulators are old enough to be run inside other emulators. MAME is best known as a preservation effort for old arcade games, but it also emulates various older PC standards. Which, of course, means that the original version of MAME can run inside of MAME these days. The MAME devs have posited that you can do exactly that as part of a 25th anniversary celebration for the emulator. Version 0.1 of MAME was released way back on February 5, 1997 by developer Nicola Salmoria, and if you head over to the official release list and scroll all the way down, you'll find that original version still available for download. "Someone asked 'how to run MAME 0.1 today?'" the MAME devs say in a tweet. "In an emulator, of course! Or a virtual machine of your choice. You can even run MAME within MAME (in many different ways!)" |
PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 6:12 PM  Microsoft intends to buy Activision Blizzard, and pending regulatory approvals, in a few years' time we're going to see World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Candy Crush promoted as first-party Xbox games. It might seem obvious that the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, wants to get even more people playing these games, but the man himself explained some of his hopes for the deal in a new interview. "I want more people to be playing WoW in five years than are playing today," Spencer tells journalist Stephen Totilo. "I want more people to be playing Call of Duty in five years, more people to be playing Candy Crush in five years, because we've made it more accessible to more people." So what does "more accessible to more people" mean? Spencer is far from confirming a WoW: Consoler Edition or anything of the sort here, but given Xbox's increasingly platform-agnostic approach to distributing games, you could see it happening. And in a world where just about everything Microsoft puts out is available for cloud streaming, the distinction might be moot anyway.

PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 4:34 PM  After taking its internally-developer MMORPG New World to the top of the Steam charts last year, Amazon Games intends to expand its online RPG portfolio by publishing the Western release of Lost Ark. Originally released in South Korea in 2019, Lost Ark has been picking up plenty of pre-release hype, but on day one it's already orders of magnitude bigger than we could've expected. Lost Ark has already reached a concurrent player peak of 532,476, as SteamDB shows. That makes it the second-biggest game on Steam right now, just behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and the sixth-biggest Steam Game of all time, just behind Amazon's own New World. The most impressive bit about that number is that Lost Ark isn't even free yet. Currently, you can only get in by purchasing a Founder's Pack, starting at $14.99 / £13.20 / €14.99. The full free-to-play release won't land until this Friday, February 11, so that player count is sure to get even bigger from here.

PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 4:24 PM  As Generation Zero approaches its third birthday, the open-world survival game has gotten a fresh update. Since it's the '80s and this is basically a Swedish, mech-based version of Red Dawn, it was only a matter of time before the Soviets showed up - and now they have, in the form of two new machine types you'll need to be watching for. The free Landfall Update, which is available now on Steam, introduces the Soviets as a third faction in the deserted Swedish archipelago of Generation Zero. The two new machines they've sent over are indiscriminate about targeting: they'll go after you and the FNIX machines you've been fighting with equal enthusiasm. The smaller of the two new machines is the Lynx, a ball-based mech that looks like an up-armoured version of BB-8. Its design allows it to traverse almost any kind of terrain, and it can be fearsome up close - so watch and make sure you're not being surrounded when you spot a group of these. The larger machine is the Wolf, a spider-tank with treads on each of its four legs. There are three varieties of the Wolf, but they all can carry a payload of Lynx to deploy in battle, so come prepared for a serious fight.

PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 2:33 PM  "We've got more Destiny coming this year than any other year before," assistant game director Robbie Stevens says in the new vidoc for Destiny 2's upcoming Witch Queen expansion. "It's one of the most ambitious releases we've ever put together, and the team is firing on all cylinders." As usual, the pre-expansion vidoc provides a lot of summary and philosophy for Destiny's upcoming content, though not a whole lot of crunchy detail. We do know that season 16 is officially called Season of the Risen. Launching alongside the Witch Queen release date on February 22, it'll have us working alongside Caiatl and the Cabal against Savathun and the Lucent Hive. The season will bring us eight new exotic weapons, including the Osteo Striga SMG, which fires swarms of tiny homing projectiles that explode in a poison burst. A new exotic machine gun can fire a barrage of 20 homing missiles. Each class is getting their own exotic glaive, too.

PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 3:20 PM  The bombs may have fallen and turned the surface of the earth into a blasted hellscape full of mutants and dangerous radiation, but the bard remains. Nuclear MMORPG Fallout 76, as we've already seen, has a lively contingent of Shakespeare fans active in its community, and last week they staged a reading of some of ol' Will's best sonnets. "While Shakespeare may not have written about our present condition - living in the wasteland and the nuclear apocalypse, fighting every day for survival with threats of human and nature kind - it is these sonnets that recapture a glimpse of our humanity," host Northern Harvest said to open the festival, which was held in the Wasteland Theatre Company's Swan Theatre in New Gad. The festival featured readings of 14 of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets, and readings were both performed live on PlayStation 4 and recorded in advance on both Xbox and PC. These pre-recorded readings were played on holotapes distributed to the audience for playback on their PipBoys. Northern Harvest kicked things off with a live reading of Sonnet 129, 'Th'expense of spirit in a waste of shame.' RELATED LINKS: Fallout 76 Mutations, Fallout 76 Perk Cards, Buy Fallout 76 |
PCGamesN Tuesday, February 8, 2022 6:24 PM  The Lost Ark system requirements are so low that just about any gaming PC put together in the last ten years is capable of running the game. Better still, the game will be free to play when it releases on February 11, making it even easier to jump into the latest title published under the Amazon Games banner. To give you some idea of how easy Lost Ark will be to run, developer Smilegate RPG lists the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 and AMD Radeon HD 6850 as the minimum required GPUs, which are both around 12 years old. However, you'll need to have a decidedly more modern operating system, in the form of Windows 10 64-bit, as well as 50GB of storage space. The CPU requirements are unfortunately pretty nondescript, but we highly doubt you'll need one of the best gaming CPUs on the market to play Lost Ark, especially with how forgiving its graphics card requirements are. However, you will definitely require a 64-bit compatible processor. RELATED LINKS: Best MMOS and MMORPGs on PC, Upcoming PC games, Best fantasy games on PC |

First 4 Figures announced that people can get its Cowboy Bebop Vicious figure will be out in Q4 2022. There will be two ways to get the statue. The standard option will be $439.99. However, people can get it for $419.99 until February 24, 2022. The exclusive edition will cost $459.99, though the early bird price for it is $434.99. The Cowboy Bebop Vicious figure will be 22 inches tall when atop the statue's stand. The stand notes which number it is. You also get an authentication card for it. Should someone get the Exclusive Edition version, they can change how Vicious looks. That variant includes an additional arm. His normal look only has him with his right arm down behind his back, with a knife in his hand. The extra arm features his right arm holding a katana, which is balanced on his shoulder. Here's a better look at the basic version of the statue. This is how the Exclusive Edition (and its alternate pose) looks. There's also a video looking at it from different perspectives. The Cowboy Bebop Vicious figure will be out Q4 2022, with standard and exclusive editions of the statue available. The anime and live-action series are both streaming on Netflix.

Each time you get a new character in Genshin Impact, you're also getting a to-do list. Depending on how far along you are in the game, it could be days or weeks until that person is usable. Especially if you didn't dedicate time to saving up ahead of pulling them. But fortunately some are easier to work with than others. Ganyu is a good example, as she isn't as difficult to build up for regular usage as other folks in-game. First, it's easy to gather materials for Ganyu. She uses the Whopperflower nectar drops for her ascensions and talents. Which is easy to find, given the enemies are found frequently in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. Her other major material is the Qingxin. Now, at launch this flower could be annoying to farm. Like the Liyue, it grows on cliffs and mountains in Liyue. Now you can grow it in the Serenitea Pot, making it much easier to collect and stock up. To ascend her, you'll need Hoarfrost Cores. The Cryo Regisvine is one of the easiest normal bosses in the game, which makes collecting those simples. Which makes the Golden House's boss fight to collect Shadow of the Warrior items for her talents the most taxing item to collect at this point.
She's also good, since she could excel with a number of different bows. Of course, the ideal situation would be the one "meant" for her. This is Amos' Bow. But lots of others work for her too. Given her reliance on her Elemental Burst and Skill, the Polar Star five-star could be fun. Or, in the case of someone on a budget, the four-star The Stringless would offer the same sort of thing. I like the Royal Bow, due to its inherent attack bonus and Focus increasing her critical rate. What's also helpful is that, well, it's really easy to bolster Ganyu's stats with Artifacts when working out a build. With certain characters, you want to focus on specific stats. For example, you want Zhongli's HP to be as high as possible. With Kazuha, Elemental Mastery is critical. With Ganyu, you have a little more leeway. You want her to be dealing as much damage as possible. Which means you may want to prioritize things like her attack, her critical damage, and her critical rate. But given the importance of her elemental attacks, focusing on things like Cryo damage or Elemental Mastery can work too. Likewise, the Prototype Crescent is good if you use Charged Attacks. I've been using Windblume Ode, due to how I rely on her Elemental Skill and its enhancements. Someone could even use Aloy's Predator bow and get by, taking advantage of its Cryo damage effect and aimed shots. Ganyu's nature also means there's a lot less pressure when going after Artifacts for her build. If you don't want to spend a lot of time farming for the perfect ones, which might have two or more of the stats you want with substantial buffs, you don't have to waste time grinding for them. She's good to go as-is. I had a subpar Wanderer's Troupe set on Ganyu back when I first got her to level 70, and her attack already passed 1,200. It also means you could just go with one set that suits the role you'd like her to play and run with it. What am I doing now? Going with Blizzard Strayer, because I've gotten parts with Cryo damage bonuses, it boosts her Cryo damage, and I'm ideally getting the critical rate increase too.
Which is the other reason Ganyu can be pretty great. She can fill a lot of different roles. A lot of people like to use her as their main DPS character. She is fantastic at being a person's on-field character to deal a lot of damage. I'm in a situation where I recently got both Itto and his Redhorn Stonethresher. I also like to use Klee as my main for fun. So what do I do with Ganyu? I'm using her for supplemental damage. I'll have her use her Elemental Skill or Burst, then send Itto or Klee out to attack. What if I do want Ganyu dealing major damage? Then I have Kokomi around use her Elemental Skill so enemies will be frozen, making it easier for Ganyu to pick them off. It means Ganyu can be a little less work to build than other people in Genshin Impact. Which is something I absolutely appreciated, coming off of desperately searching for defense and critical-related bonuses when building up Itto in 2.4. She's still going to take time, Mora, and experience boosting books, to be certain. You'll still have to get all the materials for ascensions and talents. But the things she needs aren't too hard to find. You could prioritize a lot of different stats, depending on your playstyles and goals. Which maybe might mean a chance to start using her as your avatar sooner. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices. It will also come to the Nintendo Switch. The Ganyu rerun banner will be available in Genshin Impact until February 15, 2022. The post Ganyu Can Be an Easy Character to Build in Genshin Impact appeared first on Siliconera. |

In a new interview with GamesRadar, FromSoftware President and Elden Ring Director and Writer Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed George R. R. Martin was familiar with the company's work ahead of the project. In particular, he mentioned the writer already knew about Dark Souls. He also discussed the sort of work the author did for the game. Not long after its reveal, FromSoftware noted Martin would work on its lore. Here is the statement Miyazaki offered GamesRadar, which noted George R. R. Martin was familiar with FromSoftware's work on Dark Souls before getting started on Elden Ring.
In addition to going over his familiarity with games, Miyazaki elaborated on the Elden Ring work George R. R. Martin did. He mentioned tasking him with working on the foundation and background for the game was designed to not "limit his creative output." Miyazaki noted that his working on the "historical element" would give him more freedom. He mentioned the "back-and-forth" he had with the author as they built things up.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, February 8, 2022 8:31 PM  Pets are more than just cute companions that follow you around in Lost Ark. They can provide players with a range of boons that empower you, and services that make your life a lot easier. You may expect to pay for such a wonderful companion. However, for heroes venturing into Lost Ark for the first time, you can unlock a pet for free. The major benefit of running around Arkesia with a pet is that it will pick up your loot for you. And every single pet in the game can do this, whether it was paid for or earned. This may not sound like much now. But when you kill a boss and tons of loot drops, or when you're rapidly farming monsters, it does save you a lot of time and hassle. It's just a convenience that's incredibly nice to have. How to get a free pet in Lost Ark Getting your first pet is easy. And it can be done early on in the game in the town of Prideholme. Once you complete the mission "Demons in Prideholme" (it's the one with fire and demons running rampant in the town), ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, February 8, 2022 8:03 PM  There are a lot of skills you can unlock in Sifu, so it's hard to figure out which are the best early on. Many are useful, but you'll no doubt feel overwhelmed when starting to choose. I got the chance to play the game ahead of release, and found a handful of skills that I felt are must-haves for starting out. For the most part, there aren't really any ineffective skills in the game. But I feel these are the most useful early in your quest for revenge. Strong Sweep Focus Strong Sweep Focus is one of the best skills in Sifu. It's incredibly useful at removing an enemy from your path, allowing you to either attack them on the ground (if weakened), or move your attention elsewhere. It's a Focus attack, and one of the most conservative. You only need one Focus bar to use it. Charged Backfist Among all the skills I had in Sifu, the Charged Backfist was among my favorites.

Here is our Sifu beginner's guide with tips and tricks that should help you make the path to vengeance a little less difficult. Note: I may update this guide with more tips over time. Practice how to Avoid, rather than dodge If you're used to games like Dark Souls, your first instinct in Sifu is likely to try and dodge attacks. While the dodge, mapped to the right trigger on a controller, is good for getting away fast, it's not optimal. In fact, for the most part, I mostly used the dodge while standing in place to avoid oncoming attacks. The dodge has its uses, but it can leave you momentarily vulnerable. Instead, practice how to use the powerful Avoid. Among all my tips for Sif... |

Lost Ark has finally arrived in the West. The action MMORPG offers players a whole new isometric world full of adventure to explore, but beginning a new game of this scale can be a bit overwhelming. So, I've collected some tips that I've learned in my playthroughs of Lost Ark that will help you as you set off on your journey. Some of these are very simple things that aren't immediately obvious in-game, while others are suggestions to save you time and money. This is a beginner's guide, so most of the tips deal with the early stages of Lost Ark. Before we get into the gameplay tips, there are two things you should be mindful of. Firstly, Lost Ark is free to play. You don't need a cent to be powerful or have a good time playing the game. In PvP, everything is equalized. So even if you wanted to, you couldn't possibly spend money to win. Secondly, all the classes are viable for the endgame content. So, play what you enjoy, not what a YouTube video or tier list tells you to. Star...

Puzzle games are my preferred method of mindful assault nowadays, as I sit here craving some mental stimulation. And what better way to lose your mind is there, especially while bringing friends and loved ones with you? Throughout my coverage of Zorya: The Celestial Sisters, I made it perfectly clear that the benchmark of any good puzzle game is the potential for you to make your partner go crazy. But crazy in a positive, fun way. I can confirm that Zorya mostly succeeds with this task, as I can recall dozens of times where my partner and I snapped at each other like turtles for making a misstep or a bad call in a way that was completely our fault. But there isn't a thing as a perfect puzzle game, even if something like It Takes Two gets close.

Crusader Kings III: Royal Court, the first major expansion for Paradox Interactive's Medieval Era grand strategy game releases today. It's got a slew of features for you to try out, most notably the search for artifacts and decorating your keep. Likewise, you'll get to try an overhauled culture system to make campaigns more dynamic. Truth be told, the expansion did amaze me when I had just started my run. Unfortunately, it's also bogged down by a rather tiresome system that becomes forgettable as you go along. Decorating your castle keep and assigning court positions Following the concept of grand strategy combined with RPG mechanics, Crusader Kings III: Royal Court gives you a titular royal court, a keep that you can adorn with various trappings. By finding various artifacts, your character (if they hold a kingdom or empire title and they're part of the feudal or clan system) can increase the level of grandeur. Along the way, you'll obtain...
