PCGamesN Sunday, November 6, 2022 11:55 AM  While the best Skyrim mods can add everything from whole new sets of nature-themed spells and magic to the ability to take Lydia ice skating in Bethesda's biggest Elder Scrolls game, sometimes it's the subtlest-sounding mods that can have the most dramatic input. In fact, subtle sounds are exactly the topic of the day, as this update to the fantasy game reworks all the ambient sounds you'll hear along your journey across Skyrim.

PCGamesN Sunday, November 6, 2022 10:28 AM  Dusk developer David Szymanski has unveiled his latest project - a one-sitting retro FPS game inspired by Gremlins called Chop Goblins, which sees you travelling across time after the eponymous antagonists and is positioned as an "all killer and no filler" experience. Following in the vein of classic games in the first-person shooter genre such as Doom, Quake, Half-Life, and Daikatana, Chop Goblins features a handful of unique weapons to wield across a number of globe-trotting locations, and it'll be arriving on Steam at the start of January 2023 to bring in the New Year in style.

PCGamesN Sunday, November 6, 2022 10:27 AM  Since its release last year the Battlefield 2042 player count, like that of a few other recent multiplayer games, has struggled to stay afloat on Steam. As our Battlefield 2042 review stipulates, the massive shooter just doesn't have the support it needs, and it always feels like something's come loose from inside the game's engine, bringing the Battlefield car to a standstill.

There are certain crowdfunded games that you hope do well, just because you think, "The world could use a game like this." Lonesome Village feels like that type of title. It seemed quaint, relaxed, and refreshing. Fortunately, this is a project that did deliver on its promises. However, it is more simplistic and effortless than I expected. Wes is a young coyote with a mission and destiny. They are the only one capable of wielding a special magnifying glass that can reveal the secrets of an imposing tower in Ubhora. Which is pretty critical, as all of the villagers ended up encased in statues inside when it rose from the ground during a festival. It's time to listen to a fairy friend — who yes, does say, "Hey, listen!" — to restore the town while also socializing in your new home.
Nothing Wrong with Being Basic.Now, when I say simple, it applies to pretty much every element in Lonesome Village. The character designs minimalistic, focusing on strong linework and effective colors to set people apart. The characterizations and backstories also aren't overly elaborate. There are no defining characteristics tying them to the puzzles that unlock them, and their backstories and personalities are akin to Animal Crossing villagers. The story itself doesn't wear out its welcome, telling you what you need to know. Puzzles also aren't terribly taxing, with each room only taking under five minutes, and never more than 15. Extra activities, like fishing or farming, don't require too much skill or keeping track of seasons. In a way, it helps enhance the calming atmosphere. Yes, there is an ominous tower in the middle of town. It is tied to a cult. Villagers are encased in stone statues inside. However, there's no pressure. You don't have to worry about time limits. It is pretty easy to solve most of the puzzles. Earning money or finding items to help with villagers' fetch quests is simple enough. Wes is the only one who can make this community whole again. But really, there's no rush. If you have a moment, maybe you could reunite families and friends? Only if it isn't too much trouble.
It isn't Lonesome for LongI ended up getting the impression that maybe it is designed to be a first adventure game for younger players or beginners. When characters talk, there will be icons representing their actions or requests in speech bubbles above their heads. The puzzles I've encountered didn't rely upon text to get the point across or find solutions. It's like a first Legend of Zelda-like, only without Ganon's minions playing keep-away with the Master Sword or the Moon of Termina minutes away from annihilating everything. This also means the life simulation elements are minimal as well. They're more of a thing you can do to help complete requests and ascend the tower. It also seems like some quality of life features ended up getting left by the wayside due to the minimalist nature. The bag space is limited, so you need to rely on extra chests or go gather again to get some needed materials. Going to interact with a save statue or chest? You need to approach it from the right direction before pressing the button, or nothing will happen. I also initially encountered some issues in which I might "lock up" in a puzzle room and be unable to proceed. But I found the old failsafe of "turning it off, then on again" tended to solve any issue. A second pass through the script would also have been appreciated, as I came across quite a few instances where a line would repeat or there'd be a spelling error. (The repeated lines could have been the result of a bug, however, and may be fixed after an update.) Lonesome Village is pleasant. The world is bright and colorful. Despite things being Very Wrong around town, there's no sense of pressing danger. It encourages you to take in the scenery and solve puzzles at your leisure. While that means it can feel a little too rudimentary, it's generally a good time. Especially as villagers start to return and you get a chance to interact with more (virtual) "people" again. Lonesome Village is available for the Nintendo Switch and PC. The post Review: Lonesome Village is a Simple Adventure appeared first on Siliconera. |

The official Capcom artwork team Twitter account shared some of the early character designs for Street Fighter III. Some of the characters have little blurbs that explain how they would have played. Apparently, the team had even considered putting in a velociraptor (like the actual dinosaur), though evidently this idea did not make it past the drawing board. You can see the initial Street Fighter III character designs here: [gallery link="file" ids="939170,939171,939172"] The second character after the velociraptor is an "American Ryu" who can use aikido. He would have been a passionate New York cop. Next to him is "Pankration Guy," and after him is "Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner." The Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner would have only used throws and holds, though they are blockable. When he uses his kiai, he can cause his enemies to stumble and become unable to get up. Also, the Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner would have had a pretty wife. Other characters we can see in the early character designs include a street dancer, an assassin, a marionette master, and a businessman. It is unclear how the businessman would have fought against martial arts practitioners on the level of Ryu or Chun-Li. The street dancer, on the other hand, would have used capoeira. The majority of his moves would have utilized his feet and legs. Street Fighter 6, the most recent entry to the Street Fighter series, will come out in 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. You can read our preview of the game here.

There's a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet character called Gimmighoul, and it will also come to Pokemon GO. It is a ghost-type Pokemon that appears to be inspired by the "mimic" chests. However, in addition to the "Chest Form," there is a "Roaming Form" that involves the ghost exploring on its own, outside of a chest. First, here's the trailer showing the new Gimmighoul in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It shows how the Chest Form could be sitting stationary along a wall. The ghost is inside, surrounded by coins. This version then appears alongside a trainer in battle. After that, the Roaming Form appears at the 45 second mark. It is standing atop a sign and carrying a coin on its back. The official site says nobody's ever managed to catching a Roaming Form of the character, due to its high speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYH1cpAtjEE&ab_channel=TheOfficialPok%C3%A9monYouTubechannel Speaking of speed, Rattled is the Chest Form of the character's ability. If the ability works the way it did in past games, this means that bug, dark, and ghost-type moves will raise its speed stat. Here's official art of the character: There's also a video discussing its appearance in Pokemon GO featuring Professor Willow and Mr. Jacq. It notes that the character's coins are showing up in the mobile game. While they run from trainers in the Switch game, they seem to approach folks in the mobile game. The video then shows an ominous story involving the ghost type. When 999 coins go into the chest, something happens. This announcement also confirmed the console and mobile game can link to each other in 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg&ab_channel=TheOfficialPok%C3%A9monYouTubechannel Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022. Pokemon GO is available on Android and Apple iOS devices. The last new character revealed ahead of it was Greavard.

Hi, my name is Jenni. I have a Stardew Valley problem. That is, I own five different versions of it. I can go over to my Switch, Xbox One, PC, Vita, or iPad and enjoy a life in one of at least seven Stardew Valley farms. It's great! It also means I'm pretty well equipped to answer the question, "Where should you play Stardew Valley?" So, here we are and here I am to offer some well-intentioned suggestions!
Where should you play Stardew Valley if you want the full experience?The PC version will always be the optimal place to start a new life on a farm. For starters, this will always be the most up-to-date version of the game. Concerned Ape's updates always show up here first. In the past, it even happened years before. So if any more patches do appear and you want that extra content ASAP, this should be your primary homestead. It's also the best way to play the game because of the mods. There is a robust community of people making all sorts of additions. Some add extra content. Others change the way things look. You can even enjoy unofficial "crossovers" that bring in things like Pokemon. I'm fully convinced that with the efforts fans take, someone could spend the rest of their lives with only Stardew Valley and remain satisfied.
Where should you play Stardew Valley if you want to use a console?The Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One versions of Stardew Valley are all great. One isn't superior to the other, honestly. (I say this as someone who owns two out of three and played on all three of them.) Pick the console you like best and use the most, and get it there.
Where should you play Stardew Valley if you want to do so on the go?For a portable farming experience, you need to go with the Switch or PC version of Stardew Valley. Which one you pick depends on a few things. The mobile ports aren't bad, but you won't get 1.5 on Android or always possess easy access to those coveted buttons on a phone or tablet. If you don't own a Steam Deck, then go with the Switch version of the game. It's great! I spend most of my time playing it there. You get the ease of playing it everywhere. Plus, there's the option of going docked to see your farm on a larger screen. (That's handy for multiplayer!) If you do own a Steam Deck, then absolutely go with the PC port instead. This is because you can take advantage of mods still! You'll need to get the SMAPI mod loader for the game, install it in Konsole, then get your mods and put it in your Stardew Valley mods folder. People updated the official wiki for the game with a great walkthrough that will help you through it.
Where should you play Stardew Valley if you are a true connoisseur of fine handheld consoles?The Vita version of Stardew Valley would be a good pick, because Vita means "life." More seriously, it is genuinely great on Sony's handheld! Yes, you are limited to editions up to 1.2. But you can still get the additional farm updates, find spots to dig up on your farm, enjoy more conversations with your spouse, and have more options when placing buildings on your farm.

Early on in Signalis, you'll acquire the Service Hatch Key from the elevator. That key is used on a massive door that's magnetically sealed. Here's our Signalis guide to help you solve the Lockpick Puzzle in Block A6. Note: For more information, check out our Signalis guides and features hub. Signalis: How to solve the Lockpick Puzzle in Block A6 The configuration for the Block A6 Lockpick Puzzle in Signalis looks a bit like what you see in the featured image. There are four pins, and you need to find the sweet spot before hitting the large button with an "F" to try and unlock the mechanism. The goal here is fairly simple. Take a look at the pins and you'll see that there are thin lines or indentations on them. To find that sweet spot, the indentations need to match the line at the bottom. You'll want to start off by hitting the up or down buttons so that all pins are aligned (i.e., all are raised to their maximum height). Then, press t... 
Once you finish Ghost Song, it's understandable if you walk away with more questions hanging over your head. Why couldn't Deadsuit leave? Who was Deadsuit? Ghost Song's other ending doesn't explicitly answer these questions, but it gives us a bit more to chew on. Getting it isn't difficult and only requires finding a single thing. But you'll need to take some specific steps before you can get there. I'm going to break down what you need, where you'll need to go, and what I think it all means. As for the where, I'm guessing you probably found the robot statue at Ekman's Crossing. If not, climb the mountain to the right of the Crash Site and keep heading upward. You'll eventually come to it. There's a spot that's rather hard to reach that you may have seen. Getting here can be accomplished with the double jump combined with a dash and using the fist weapon in mid-air to get a bit of extra height. But it'...
