PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 7:19 PM  If you've seen and done everything The Lands Between has to offer, a new Elden Ring mod from Ghost8686 may help ease the pang of waiting for official DLC. Dubbed Elden Ring Augmented, the mod makes New Game Plus significantly less of a grind in the RPG by doubling your Runes and even letting you recover them from anywhere. It also turns Torrent invincible – though not quite the Gigachad-Torrent from another recent mod – and adds a Sekiro-inspired deflecting skill, if you manage to to get the timing right.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 1:46 PM  Looking for the Destiny 2 Xur location? Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant. He appears every weekend to sell the game's most coveted items in exchange for Legendary shards, but if you're a casual player with limited shards to spend, it can be hard to know which items you should purchase from his inventory. That's where we come in. Xûr provides random rolls and has done so since a change in 2020, so the Exotic merchant is providing plenty of excitement as he might arrive with a god roll. We'll update this Destiny 2 Xur location guide shortly after he arrives each week on Friday, so if you're reading this, you need only read on to learn where he is, and which are the best items he's selling this week. While he jumps around from week to week, Xur's location has stuck to an established rotation for a while now, so it's easy to figure out where he is.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 1:28 PM  Looking for the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak weapon tier list? Since the dawn of this RPG game series, hunters have argued which weapons are the best. Some prefer the Insect Glaive's high mobility, while others such as the Great Sword, are attractive for their sheer power. Debuting in Monster Hunter Rise, the Wirebugs shook up the status quo with typically slow weapons receiving some much-needed agility. Of course, if you're a veteran hunter used to any one of these types, a Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak weapon tier list such as this may serve as nothing more than confirmation bias. In fact, there's always going to be a little bit of bias in every tier list. I love nothing more than becoming a whirling dervish with the Dual Blades, stacking status ailments onto even the toughest Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak monsters with every hit. Is it actually the best, though? Probably not, but it's what I'm used to. That said, perhaps you're a more adventurous hunter seeking to find that perfect weapon for speedruns, or you want to coordinate with teammates to make a perfectly balanced hunting party? If so, look below to see how the very best Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak weapons rank when pitted against each other.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 1:00 PM  You'll likely need the best F1 22 Bahrain setup for your very first race, because the career modes mimic the real world schedule. With it being the first race on the calendar, you're unlikely to have any upgrades on your car (unless you're in a later season), so getting your setup correct is imperative to achieving a decent result. The best F1 22 Bahrain setup will depend on your racing style, car performance, and the evening weather conditions in the warm climate. As a starting point, we've got the car settings you need in this best racing game entry. The track features three DRS zones and 15 corners and always takes place in the evening, one of only a few races lit up by the floodlights. Run as many practice laps as you can to get used to your car for the rest of the season. RELATED LINKS: F1 22 review, Best racing games, Simulation games |
PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 12:48 PM  If you're feeling a little lost in the world of Teyvat, a new Genshin Impact fan parody video invites you to join the lovable scoundrels of the Arataki Gang in a humorous recruitment video put together by community member genshashin. The video, based on the recent Kuki Shinobu hangout quest introduced in Genshin Impact 2.8, features gang leader Arataki Itto along with his sidekick Kuki Shinobu and several of the gang's other members. The Arataki Gang Recruitment Video by genshashin is an incredible piece of editing - especially considering the limited tools available to create custom content around the anime game's world and characters. The video opens with narration from Kuki Shinobu, who describes the gang as "a legitimate international organisation" and discusses their various business portfolios in rather entertaining fashion. Gang leader Arataki Itto himself, labelled as the 'Arataki Gang CEO,' also takes centre stage, showing off his fun-loving side with clips of him engaging in hide-and-seek and beetle fighting. Kuki says that as a relatively new organisation to the region, the gang has run into a "recurring issue" of people misinterpreting their intentions, so they decided to employ a marketing agency to help improve their image.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 1:25 PM  Overwatch 2 players in the FPS game's second beta have been spending plenty of time getting used to the new tank hero Junker Queen. However, some of them are concerned that her character model doesn't fit her tank status, with one fan using some basic measurements to demonstrate why her size could be a problem for the multiplayer game's readability. Reddit user WenisDongerAndAssocs posted to the Overwatch subreddit (spotted by GamesRadar+) explaining why they feel Junker Queen's current model isn't 'tank-like' enough. In their own words, "Junker Queen breaks the rules of proportions for a tank." They include an image demonstrating that every other tank in Overwatch is no more than twice as tall as they are wide, with the singular exception of Zarya who clocks in at a height 2.75x that of her width. By comparison, Junker Queen's model is approximately 3.5x as tall as it is wide. Clocking in at seven feet tall (according to Bizzard senior art supervisor Kacey Helms), it's not that Junker Queen is even close to diminutive - but height can be deceptive, especially at distance. As WenisDonger notes, tanks in Overwatch are designed so that "their wide silhouettes communicate protection and stability." It's not just for aesthetics, though - it's about quickly recognising where certain hero types are located mid-fight, and many players in the reddit thread say they are misidentifying Junker Queen as a DPS hero at a glance.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, July 8, 2022 12:30 PM  Earlier this week, I had a real blast from the past moment. Apparently, my ancient LiveJournal turned 18 on Tuesday, a thing I haven't posted in or given a single thought to for at least ten years. Naturally, curiosity got the better of me, so I dipped my toe back in to see what teenage Katharine had been blogging about in the mid to late 00s. Aside from all my custom images having been eaten, probably with the closure of whatever photo upload service I used back in the day, everything else was pretty much in tact. But man alive. Those OPINIONS. Just terrible. Bad, awful, narrow-minded. In some ways it's quite funny looking back at how angry I was about Nintendo putting trains in a Zelda game, for example (joke's on me, Spirit Tracks would go on to become one of my fav Zelda games of all time), but in many ways I'm just quite glad I've (hopefully) moved on as a person, if only because recent weeks have reminded me there are still plenty of people out there like late 00s Katharine who are in all likelihood the same age I am now. Yes, I'm talking about the backlash to Return Of Monkey Island. |

The few I tried were fussy, though, and too much like the kind of cold scientific procedure that turns growing things into industry. With Lost Nova on my back burner I shrugged, and gave that a go, having frankly forgotten what it was. It's a gathering game, so almost the reverse of gardening, or perhaps the end point of it. But its relaxed pace, warm tone, and fun dialogue were, it turns out, exactly what I needed. There's no pressure, and not too much to worry about. You can just wander about enjoying the vibe and digging things up with your gentle laser as you go. |

About a year after its original release on the Nintendo Switch, the localized version of Disgaea 6 Complete is now on the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC worldwide. I had the opportunity to play the PS4 version and, while this is almost everywhere now, it still feels like a handheld game.
The first thing I noticed about Disgaea 6 on the PS4 was that it felt very much like a Switch game. The 3D effect looked rather rough. Also, something about the font made it look quite retro. This combination made the game look a lot older than one released in 2021. At first, I actually thought that it was from the Nintendo 3DS! The 3D animations in combat when you use special attacks are rather lackluster when compared with other native Switch games that came out around the same time.
However, in saying that, the game definitely feels like a PS4 game. Everything was smooth, from moving the cursor to watching the characters move about on the maps. The graphics aren't breathtaking by any means, but it never felt laggy. Now, my PS4 is fairly old, and there are occasional hiccups with games such as Genshin Impact or 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. But no matter how many enemies were on the map in Disgaea 6, it made no impact on the performance. The second thing I noticed about the game was that it felt geared towards series veterans. I spent a lot of time in the beginning wondering if I should recognize and know protagonist Zed. While the game does provide explanations for the systems such as Super Reincarnation, the Dark Assembly, and the Item World, they suddenly unlock in between story levels. The way Cerberus casually tells Zed that these functions are now available, with no particular fanfare, definitely feels like these are mechanics players should already be familiar with and itching to gain access to.
There are some aspects of Disgaea 6 that maybe may feel easier to deal with on the Switch than on the PS4. And this may be where my status as a Disgaea novice rears its head. The game is very grind-heavy and requires repeating maps a lot. This is honestly fine, due to the auto-battle and auto-repeat functions. (Why auto-battle keeps sending my squishiest characters out in the frontline and killing them, I don't understand, though!) In Disgaea 6 especially, the auto functions for grinding are a lifesaver considering the monstrous level cap. But this part of the game feels like it works better on a portable console such as the Switch, since you could theoretically leave it running while you go and do something else. Manual grinding is a draw for the Disgaea series. After all, previous entries in the franchise were on consoles such as the PS2 or PS3. However, making it automatic begs the question of what the player should do while the characters zoom about. These days, it's not unheard of to play two games at the same time. But I usually consider the mobile game to be the one that you can leave idling. While the grinding itself is not an issue, something about being able to activate auto-battle and auto-repeat on a PS4 gave me an odd cognitive dissonance. Disgaea 6: Complete is available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is available on the Nintendo Switch.

The Square Enix blog is continuing its series of retrospectives on the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake. The latest installment covers FFVII Remake Chapter 4. While FFVII Remake is in large part a retelling of the original FFVII, it takes extra time to expand on Cloud and the party's adventure in Midgar. As a result, the game does feature a significant amount of new content that expands on moments in the first iteration of the story. The blog delivers insights and comments on the chapter's development from Scenario Design Co-Director Motomu Toriyama, Game Design Co-Director Naoki Hamaguchi, Facial Directo Akira Iwasawa, Music Superviso Keiji Kawamori, Sound Director Makoto Ise, Battle Director Teruki Endo, and Senior Assistant Producer Yuma Watanabe. Note: The blog entry contains spoilers for Chapter 4 of Final Fantasy VII Remake. FFVII Remake Chapter 4 is titled "Mad Dash" and is notably all-original to Final Fantasy VII's story. It takes place the night before Avalanche is to destroy Shinra Mako Reactor 5. While Tifa and Barrett rest Cloud is approached by Jessie, who proposes a secret midnight outing to Jessie's parents' house in Midgar proper. Tagging along are Biggs and Wedge. The party gets into a running battle with Shinra's bike soldiers, as well as with Roche, a SOLDIER member. According to Toriyama, FFVII Remake Chapter 4 was created with the objective of fleshing out the relationship between Cloud and Avalanche. In the original, Avalanche members besides Barrett didn't get much screen time or personality. In FFVII Remake, though, players get to see the characters "private relationships" and better empathize with them and the connection they've built. It also helps illustrate the connection between Barrett's Avalanche cell and the larger Avalanche organization. Hamaguchi revealed that Roche was originally intended to be a generic Shinra SOLDIER operative that acted as a boss for the G-Bike section of the chapter. However, the team felt it would be fun to have the boss recur for the second major encounter of the chapter, at the 7-6 Annex facility. It was then that the team gave him a distinct personality, integrating him into the FFVII Remake Chapter 4 story. As a result, Roche became a breakout star of that moment, using his flamboyant G-Bike maneuvers and freewheeling personality to steal his scenes and act as a foil to Cloud's taciturn disposition. The blog contains more detail, including insights regarding the music, summons, cute cats, and Wedge's cheeks. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PS4, and its upgraded Intergrade version is available on PS5 and PC. The next installment, Rebirth, is in development.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, July 8, 2022 4:00 PM  Developer IO Interactive has unveiled its July roadmap for Year 2 of Hitman 3, and it promises to bring a substantial new feature to the game. This feature will come in the form of a new location called Ambrose Island, which actually serves as the game's first post-launch area. After more than a year of continuous post-launch updates, it comes as a bit of a surprise that Hitman 3 only received a new map now. But, considering the sheer amount of detail crammed into Hitman's maps, it only makes sense that the developers would take their time with this one. Those who already own Hitman 3 will receive the Ambrose Island map for free on July 26. According to IO Interactive's official website, this hidden tropical island houses a fearsome pirate syndicate that conducts its operations in the Andaman Sea. Additionally, the island contains many secrets to discover, but these have little to do with Agent 47's main goal, which is to "help an old friend rectify hi... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, July 8, 2022 3:00 PM  When The Quarry launched last month, it included a couch co-op mode for up to eight people. Supermassive Games has implemented some form of co-op in many of its horror titles, ranging from The Dark Pictures to The Quarry. However, a missing feature was the ability to play the mode online, which was delayed due to the servers getting moved out of Ukraine. Supermassive promised a patch, and yesterday it made good on the pledge. The latest patch for The Quarry adds a new online multiplayer mode, plus some '80s-themed outfits for the cast. So yes, The Quarry now has online multiplayer co-op — but not in the form you may expect. Fans of The Dark Pictures Anthology likely imagine some form of co-op, where two players control one character each while making their own decisions. The mode has proven to be a fun and often deadly addition, as you or your buddy could mess up and change which characters live or die. However, the multiplayer is more of a party mode.

Whether the remaster would heavily change the storyline was up for debate. But now, thanks to a new IGN interview, we may know what to expect. IGN spoke to producers Mariko Sato and Yoshinori Kitase about Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. The interview touches on various aspects of the upcoming remaster. Additionally, it goes into how the remaster will improve on the original game. With that said, there are going to be fewer changes than some fans may expect. In fact, when it comes to the plot, Kitase says it won't "stray too far" from the original story. Sato doubles down on this and reiterates that there won't be any new elements. Crisis Core ... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, July 8, 2022 12:30 PM  Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season 4 contained the biggest content drop the battle royale has seen in a while. The release of Fortune's Keep provided a fresh experience, and players got to try out the Marco 5 and UGM 8, and more. Raven Software continues to deploy regular updates in order to improve the state of the game, with the latest Warzone Pacific patch balancing weapons and squashing bugs. Let's begin with the weapon balancing adjustments. So far in season 4, the Warzone Pacific meta has heavily consisted of the NZ-41 assault rifle and the H4 Blixen submachine gun. Both weapons have been nerfed, with the NZ-41 receiving a 20% decrease to its recoil recovery. In addition, the 8mm Klauser 40 Round Magazine attachment's recoil control penalty has increased to -10%. Moving on to the H4 Blixen, the lower torso damage multiplier dealt by the weapon was slightly reduced from 1.1 to 1.0. Despite the adjustments, it is likely that both weapons will continue to be stro... |
