     The Destiny 2 Season 18 grenade launcher buff was a bit too strong

The promised Destiny 2 Season 18 grenade launcher buff turned it to be a bit too powerful, so much so that Bungie has temporarily disabled the entire class of weapons in the FPS game's new Season of Plunder. So if you're trying to use your grenade launcher and can't, it's not a bug. Bungie acknowledged the issue on their official support Twitter account and mentioned three grenade launchers are exempt from the ban.

Tabletop miniatures battles can be a tough hobby to get into, but Moonbreaker is changing the old rules. Its brightly coloured models, which you can digitally paint while listening to audiobooks packed with lore about its world, aren't engaged in an unending war between races, and they're not all decorated with skulls. It's a happier, gentler, and more accessible strategy game than tabletop wargaming has seen before.

     Goat Simulator 3 devs

Goat Simulator 3 is looking to bring plenty more animal-oriented chaos to your gaming PC in November, but Goat Simulator 3 developer Sebastian Eriksson says the team "haven't really thought about" the market for the comedy game's sequel and are just making something that they find funny. If you haven't seen the Goat Simulator 3 announcement, don't panic, you didn't miss Goat Simulator 2 - they decided to skip out on that intermediary entry and jump straight to number three.

"A lot of work has been trying to find out, okay - what's buggy, like fun buggy?" Speaking to PCGamesN at Gamescom, Coffee Stain North CEO Sebastian Eriksson explains the team's approach to development, such as deciding where the line is drawn differentiating 'fun bugs' from frustrating ones. He continues, "We want to have a really big sandbox game, we want to have four simultaneous players, we want all the physics to be relevant to the game."

When asked about the viral success of the first Goat Simulator and learning that there's a market for games of this nature, Eriksson says that the team hasn't really factored that into building this new entry. Of the first game, he notes that "after a while, it really started getting hard to get the whole thing to hold together, basically, because the foundation was built in just a couple of months. There were a lot of things that we wanted to put into it, but we couldn't really - the engine was getting old, it wasn't supported by the new systems, and so on and so forth."

When you take a closer look at the SMGs released over the past few months like the Armaguerra 43, the Marco 5, and the H4 Blixen, these weapons have dominated the battle royale game since they launched. If the RA 225 is anything like these SMGs, it has the potential to top our best SMGs in Warzone list and become a staple of every loadout for weeks to come.

The Call of Duty blog describes the RA 225 as having a "high fire rate and a very mobile compact frame", the perfect combination for a deadly SMG. You do have to account for an upward kick in terms of recoil, but you should be able to fix this by heading into the gunsmith.

     Dead by Daylight killers tier list: all 28 deadly characters ranked

On the prowl for a DBD killers tier list? Six years in, the Dead by Daylight character roster is bigger than ever, boasting a massive 28 killers at the time of writing, and a further 31 survivors. Thanks to that huge list of names, it's certainly difficult to keep track of who you should main. Combined with the July 2022 overhaul of 40 killer and survivor perks which has completely shifted the game, and there's even more to consider.

The joy of an asymmetrical horror game has always been the ability to be the bad guy. While there's certainly something thrilling about putting yourself in the shoes of a survivor (there must be a reason we all wonder how we'd do in a zombie apocalypse, right?), nothing gets the heart racing like shirking the lawful-good responsibilities of real life and taking on the role of a blood-thirsty killer. Every one of the following DBD killers has their own terrifying unique power, from ranged axe throws, to infectious bile and close-range chainsaw attacks. But which is best?

     All Saints Row collectibles locations

Want to know where to find all Saints Row collectibles? As you progress through the open-world game's main campaign, you'll eventually snag yourself an abandoned church that could do with some decorating. During a side mission, Kev asks that you take a photo of a cannon at a nearby fort, and it's these photos you can use to get copies for the Saints' headquarters. All you need to do is line up the shot within the on-screen guidelines and when it's green, take the picture.

As for the rest of the Saints Row collectible locations, you can find them by looking at the phone and opening the collectibles app. Doing this gives you a detailed list of places on the Saints Row map where you can hunt for these structures. Since these collectibles are relatively large and glow blue if you haven't already found them, you should be able to spot them quickly.

I'm a sucker for a pretty mechanical keyboard, but usually the keebs I'm most enamoured with have price tags to match - think £100 to £200 minimum, and think the upper end of that scale if you want a keyboard that looks like a giant ice cube or weighs a solid 2.3kg. Happily though, there are also now a range of much more affordable keyboards that still include the unusual colour schemes, high-quality components and brilliant typing experiences that make mechanical keyboards so fascinating to me.

ffvii remake tifa

The FFVII Remake Twitter account has posted some information on the design process behind Tifa. This is the latest in its unofficial series on explaining how the development team designed characters, monsters, and the world. The Tweet also includes close-ups of various accessories and clothing items.

https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1561639312332046339?t=lMfBJVQwQlvavCuvzq3i4A&s=19

According to the Tweet, it took over twenty attempts to decide on a hair color for Tifa in FFVII Remake. Her hair color is a fairly dark ash brown, and in the original, it was closer to black. It is likely that the twenty variations that the development team looked at were different types of brown or ash hair. The development team also spent a lot of time and effort on Tifa's accessories. For example, the charms around the bracelets on her wrists look like a chocobo and a bomb.

Recent blog posts and Tweets about the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake include information on Wedge, as well as Scissorclaw. There is also a blog post detailing the time and effort the development team put behind the dance that you can do in the Honeybee Inn.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PS4, PS5, and Windows PC. The sequel, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is in development.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is grossing worldwide

The Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie is making records all over the world. As of August 21, 2022, the global revenue from the movie has reached approximately 7.08 billion yen (approximately 51.6 million US dollars). [Thanks, Mantan Web!]

The American opening revenue was recorded at $21 million, and it also simultaneously topped the ranking charts. The Japanese press release noted that this is the first Japanese movie to accomplish such a feat in America since the 1999's Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back. It added that the revenue from countries and regions other than Japan and the U.S. was $12.3 million. The movie also topped all charts in the global weekend revenue rankings.

Initially announced in July 2021, Super Hero is the 21st movie in the Dragon Ball series after the previous entry, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, came out in 2018. It tells a story where a grown-up Gohan and the Potential-Unleashed Piccolo join forces with other allies to fight against the Red Ribbon Army which created two new androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.

Toei launched Super Hero first in Japan on June 11, 2022, where it recorded 2.49 billion yen (~$18.16 million) at the country's box office. The movie then made its way to global theaters on August 18, 2022.

Shandy in Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation

Koei Tecmo has just added a new character named Shandy into Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation. The company released an update soon after it revealed the new character on the 28th live stream for the game that aired on August 24, 2022.

Shandy is a 21-year-old bartender who is easily bored with daily activities and desires things that are more thrilling. She meets the Owner for the first time at a night bar.

Shandy likes playing darts and lotteries as her hobbies. Her favorite food is Chili Crab, and her preferred color is Midnight Blue. Her birthday falls on March 3.

Shandy's voice actress is Shino Shimoji. She has performed the roles of many notable characters in recent years, such as Pyra and Mythra in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Shionne in Tales of Arise, and Xin Xianying in Dynasty Warriors 9.

Koei Tecmo has been regularly adding more characters into Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation. It previously added Amy in April 2022 and Koharu in November 2021. The company also brought Tina Armstrong from the mainline fighting game series in January 2022.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation is available for PCs via DMM, Steam, and Johren. The game's availability on all platforms is limited to Asian countries and regions.

Saban Moon American Sailor Moon

Fans and curious onlookers can now see what an American Sailor Moon adaptation might have looked like. YouTuber Ray Mona uncovered a copy of the pilot episode of an attempt to remake Sailor Moon for American audiences. Produced in 1994 by legendary kids' TV executive Haim Saban and nicknamed Saban Moon by fans, the show was never aired. In fact, it was never seen by the wider public outside of a trailer shown at Anime Expo in 1995. Ray Mona managed to obtain a copy of the series' pilot from, of all places, the U.S. Library of Congress, as part of her documentary Finding Saban Moon: The Western World of Sailor Moon.

You can check out the original pilot below. It's best experienced with some knowledge of the context of the production. The documentary is available on Ray Mona's YouTube channel and accessible via these links (Part 1 and Part 2). Journalist Cecilia D'Anastasio wrote a feature detailing her own effort to track down evidence and copies of the American Sailor Moon in 2018. D'Anastasio also assisted Ray Mona in finding the copy and appeared in the documentary.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA2VOuqaOnk

Saban Moon looks pretty much as originally described. All in all, it was an attempt to produce an American-rooted version of the goliath Japanese original franchise. At the time, it was common practice to adapt Japanese and other foreign properties in this way for U.S. broadcast. TV executives believed that American viewers weren't interested in content that was obviously rooted in another country. This view led to some early attempts at localization, ranging from the successful (Saban's Power Rangers adaptation of Super Sentai) to the notorious (Harmony Gold's rearrangement of Macross and other mecha anime into the Robotech franchise). The American Sailor Moon used an animation style more reminiscent of the U.S. cartoons of the era and was intercut with dramatic episodes featuring live-action footage of teen actors.

Saban Moon never aired, though the original Sailor Moon anime did. The story was later remade as Sailor Moon Crystal in 2014, with an upcoming movie set to adapt the manga's final story arc.

     Rift Of The Necrodancer Spin Off Game Rhythm Reveal SteamWell, that didn't take long at all. Mere weeks after developer Brace Yourself Games teased a new project in the Necrodancer universe, the studio has pulled off the veil. Rift of the Necrodancer is a spin-off game, starring Cadence and her friends as they battle it out in a series of rhythm-based mini-games. It's a blend of Guitar Hero, Rhythm Heaven, and a load of other goofy mini-game collections. My mind drifted to WarioWare, as the accompanying trailer showcases Cadence completely beefing a yoga pose. It looks goofy and fun, so fans of the aforementioned games should take note.   There are two main modes in Rift of the Necrodancer. Rift Mode is a "rhythmic battle against streams of monsters pouring out of the Rift." This is your Guitar Hero-like mode, where you time your button presses to defeat enemies as they slowly move to the beat. There's also a Boss Battle mode, which appears to take more than a little influence from Punch-Out! Beats for the...

     Pentiment release art style historicalMost players know Obsidian Entertainment for its RPGs, particularly its big-budget ones like Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds. These titles almost always come up whenever people talk about the developer, which may lead to the assumption that Obsidian exclusively specializes in making these kinds of games. But as Pentiment, one of its more recent projects, demonstrates, Obsidian is more than capable of stepping outside of its comfort zone. A narrative adventure game depicted "through the style of illuminated manuscripts and early modern woodcuts," Pentiment promises to offer a unique storytelling experience once its November 15 release date arrives. According to Mikey Dowling, the director of communications at Obsidian Entertainment, Pentiment takes place in upper Bavaria during the 16th century, when the Holy Roman Empire asserted its dominance. Players assume control of Andreas Maler, a skilled artist who suddenly finds himself broiled up in all kinds of murde...
