PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 1:09 PM Destiny 2's Telesto event was confusing, according to some players who had higher expectations for Bungie's surprise in-game/IRL crossover. Some Guardians found the event, which involved the often-broken weapon shooting bizarre patterns before gaining sentience and taking over the Destiny Twitter account, underwhelming compared to the scale of past Destiny events. Guardians who were excited about a large-scale community activity instead found themselves with a free emblem code and an alternate firing mode for the weapon in the popular FPS game.

PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 12:34 PM In knowing how to unlock the Warzone 2 M13B, you'll be able to get your hands on one of the best assault rifles in the game. One of the weapons to be added on the Warzone 2 release date, the M13B isn't going to be easy to unlock - unless you want to pay for it. But it's thankfully not pay-to-win, as there is a second way to unlock this superb weapon in the free game. We know that the arrival of Warzone 2 is bringing a bunch of new content to the "new era" of Call of Duty, but that you won't be able to carry weapons across from the original Warzone, instead being gifted some as-yet-unannounced items for having played Warzone. This particular weapon blueprint isn't one of them, but we've got the details on how to unlock the Warzone 2 M13B. RELATED LINKS: Warzone 2 release date, Warzone 2 DMZ details, Warzone 2 map |

PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 12:02 PM The best Warzone 2 Lockwood MK2 loadout gives you complete control over any mid range firefight in the battle royale game as it can down an enemy in a single shot to the head, or two shots to any other part of the body.

You only have six shots to work with due to the limited capacity of this lever-action rifle, so make each bullet count by using the best Warzone 2 Lockwood MK2 loadout.

From steamy sexy times in The Witcher 3, space rumpy-pumpy in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, to kinky bedroom antics in Fallout 4, these are the sexiest games on PC. Sex. It's all around us. It's leaking out of the walls. It's flooding up through the floorboards.

PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 11:16 AM You may be wondering how to play Warzone 1 after the imminent launch of its sequel. After all, you've probably sunk many hours into the battle royale game, unlocking all of the best weapons. However, following the shutdown of Warzone during the Warzone 2 release date, it may surprise you to learn that Activision isn't altogether abandoning the original game; it's just having a bit of a rebrand. Warzone 1 will officially relaunch as Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera and is set to be a separate game. Player progression and cross-progression will work the same as it does now for the original Warzone and its compatible games (Modern Warfare, Black Ops - Cold War, and Vanguard). However, it won't be compatible with either Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2. RELATED LINKS: Warzone loadouts, Best AR in Warzone , The best guns in Warzone |

PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 11:08 AM The best Warzone 2 LMGs might be a bit more unwieldy than the best SMGs, but they make up for that in both their damage output and fire rate. While they don't have the high specialisation of other weapons, such as sniper rifles, LMGs are highly adaptable for a wide variety of combat situations. With the right attachments, LMGs are even capable of outpacing assault rifles in Warzone 2. At the moment, the best LMG in Warzone 2 is the RAAL-MG. Its impressive damage output can eliminate squishier enemies at any range, and has the fire rate necessary for a follow-up that can cut through additional armour plating. If you're looking to jump into Warzone 2 Season 1 with a powerful, fast-paced primary weapon, this is the LMG for you. RELATED LINKS: Warzone 2 release date, Warzone 2 DMZ details, Warzone 2 map |
PCGamesN Friday, November 11, 2022 11:08 AM Want to know what the best Warzone 2 marksman rifles are? While their usefulness in Modern Warfare 2 is somewhat limited by map size, the battle royale game offers a far larger island to scope out targets from a distance. To cut to the chase, the best Warzone 2 marksman rifle is the SP-R 208. The best Warzone 2 marksman rifles are a step down from the best sniper rifles in terms of raw power, but they offer a balance between precision and ammo capacity. That should come in handy when your foe is just a bit too far away for the best Warzone 2 assault rifles to hit them consistently.

Given that the sequel is irrevocably tied to the systems developed in Modern Warfare 2, moving into Warzone 2 Season 1 and beyond necessitates leaving all your progress behind and starting afresh.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 11, 2022 10:30 AM Obviously, I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in the pleasurable side of PC hardware. Building a PC (or even just swapping out a component) can be a series of lovely little tactile moments: the peeling-off of plastic wrapping, the K'nex-like click of a graphics card slotting into place, the soft whoosh of the fans on a first successful boot. Great stuff, and of course, that's all before games start coming out of it. What's not to like? Oh, reader, so many things. So many, many things not to like. Gaming PCs are still only computers, after all, and computers break, often and for reasons that may be invisible to the most intensively trained eye. Introduce this volatility to a line of work that involves handling a lot of sometimes heavy, usually expensive equipment, and enjoying those little pleasures will eventually come at a cost. Namely, time spent dealing with arcane troubleshooting practices and the occasional spot of minor personal injury. Read more |

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 1:30 PM During the FFXIV Letter From the Producer Live 74, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida commented on the appearance of the infamous grapes that reemerged as LINE stickers. The hexagonal cluster of grapes received a fair amount of attention online, which then caused the frivolous environmental item to become something of a joke throughout the community. Eventually the shape of the grapes were changed through an update patch. However, Yoshi-P had this to say about the grapes during the FFXIV Letter from the Producer livestream: Ah, these grapes. We fixed these in the game! You literally cannot see them anymore! When would you even want to use this sticker? Maybe if you'd want to say "Oh, this is low quality" then you'd send it? I feel like certain people wouldn't understand, haha. Despite the grapes having received notoriety outside of the FFXIV community, Yoshi-P is convinced that the context of the stickers won't come across. That said, the stickers themselves are only available to download in Japan. Which means that if you're outside of the region, despite having a LINE account, you won't have access to download it. Outside of the announcement of the grape stickers appearing on LINE, the broadcast included the release date for Patch 6.3. Alongside other content that will appear in Final Fantasy XIV once the update is live. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and the release date for patch 6.3 will release in early January 2023.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 1:00 PM To honor Metroid Prime's 20th anniversary, former Retro Studios Senior Engineer Zoid Kirsch started sharing stories about the game's development. However, the latest tale comes from another member of the team. Technical Lead Engineer Jack Mathews took to Twitter to talk about how fixing one Metroid Prime issue meant sticking a GameCube dev kit in a freezer. The reason for a freezer getting involved in game development is due to certain GameCube CPU being fault and not playing Metroid Prime properly. In order to update the code, the team needed to address the issue on a dev kit with that CPU. However, there was only one, and it could only be properly tested if the unit was freezing. In the end, the team fixed it and Nintendo sent out another copy of the game to people who called support. Here's Mathews' full story, compiled from the full eight-tweet thread. Metroid Prime Game Dev Story - The One Where We Fridged a GameCube. Shortly after Prime shipped, Nintendo told us that a "bad batch" of GameCube CPU's shipped, and apparently Prime was the only game that misbehaved on them. We saw videos and it was clear what was going on. All animated objects were freaking out. I'll get into the techy reasons later, but the point was we needed to actually slow down some of our code, because it was running too fast for these CPUs to handle! We needed to be able to test this, but Nintendo only had one dev kit with this CPU. We couldn't detect the CPU, and if we slowed it down too much, the game's framerate would tank. If we didn't slow it down enough, it would glitch. Even worse, we had to burn disks for this kit. So each test was hours. Even weirder was to see the problem, the kit had to be cold. Like, freezer cold. So we literally had to put the kit in the freezer, test the game for 15 minutes tops, then start all over. It was crazy. We literally were running the kit from the break room freezer to the TV, and loading save games as fast as possible to as many places as possible in 15 minutes, then trying new code, re-freezing, and back. I'll never forget it. Techy stuff: Our skinning used the locked cache DMA to read in data and the write gather pipeline to write it out. Most of the Nintendo samples used the locked cache for both read and write, so my method was a bit faster. But it also hit memory bandwidth limits. As I recall, the issue was that the write gather pipe on these broken CPU's wouldn't stall when it was full or properly report its status, so we had to keep inserting NOPs in the code to slow it down just enough to stop stalls from happening, but not so much to slow down the game. In case you were wondering, when someone called support about this animation problem, Nintendo actually sent them a new game disc with this updated code! That's how we did "patches" back in the old days! Metroid Prime is available for the GameCube. Metroid Prime Trilogy can be played on the Wii and Wii U.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 12:30 PM The latest Japanese commercial for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet takes advantage of the franchise's cross-generational appeal. It's been around long enough that many of the people who first encountered it as children are now grown. The brief 30-second spot, aired on television and via YouTube. Check out the live-action ad below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECMARJGaOoQ The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet commercial leans heavily on the games' free structure. It implies it is a refreshing escape from real life's pressures. The short scene features actor Kotone Furukawa playing Yamada, a tired office worker. Furukawa starred in movies like BL Metamorphosis and 12 Suicidal Teens. By chance Yamada meets "a mysterious man from the World of Pokemon (age unknown)." This person is played by actor Eita Nagayama. Nagayama played characters like Shinya Kabuto in The Mole Song and Ryutaro in the live-action adaptations of Nodame Cantabile. Dressed in an outfit matching the male player's getup in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Nagayama invites Yamada to come to Paldea with him. There, he says it's the kind of place where you can travel and have experiences with your Pokemon buddies. The World of Pokemon, he says, is a place "where you can do anything, or nothing, if you want." Yamada accepts, and text on screen invites the viewer to come "to a place where the winds of freedom blow." Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launch on November 18, 2022 on the Nintendo Switch. A day-one patch will be required to enable online play. The post Japanese Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Commercial Invites Grownups to Paldea appeared first on Siliconera. |
Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 12:00 PM Tactics Ogre: Reborn features a handful of different Classes players can unlock throughout the narrative. Picking and choosing the right job can mean victory or defeat in some circumstances. It's important to remember that you can change your Class at any given time. So instead of investing in new units, which you may be tempted to, you can always change up a character already part of your roster. However, keep in mind you won't be able to change the Class of certain story-significant characters for specific reason. That said, the guide below will tell you how to change Classes in Tactics Ogre: Reborn! If you skipped over the initial tutorial, don't worry. It only takes a few steps to actually change a character's Class. Once you've beaten the stage at Almorica Castle, you will immediately be able to switch. You can follow the steps below to navigate the few menus in your way: - Click on the Party button on the upper left-hand side of the screen.
- Click on the unit you would like to change the Class of.
- From there, click on the icon of a person holding their fist up against a yellow background.
You will then be brought to a menu where you can change the Class of the unit you've selected. Keep in mind that you will need Class Marks in order to change the Class of a character in Tactics Ogre: Reborn. So make sure to use them wisely. Additionally, when changing a Class it means that you will potentially be swapping out what skills that character can now equip, along with armor. Not all Classes have access to every skill available in Tactics Ogre: Reborn, so keep this in mind before swapping them out. Tactics Ogre: Reborn is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The post Guide: How to Change Classes in Tactics Ogre: Reborn appeared first on Siliconera. |

The game itself is a remastered edition of 2005's Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song. Minstrel Song was in turn was a remake of the 1992 original on the SNES [Thanks, Inside Games!].

Kyoji Koizumi, battle designer on the original, helped supervise the work. Additionally, the new challenges will feature rearranged versions of the boss themes. Finally, Minstrel Song Remastered will have additional weapons, playable classes, and other refinements. The level cap will be raised, and certain skills that were once inaccessible will be unlocked.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 11:00 AM There's new FFVII Remake concept art, and it looks at one of the game's accessories and the Corneo's Secret Stash tiara key items. With the tiaras, it shows how each one is inspired by original FFVII Weapon superbosses. As for the equipment, it takes a closer look at the FFVII Remake Götterdämmerung. First, here's a look at the FFVII Remake Corneo's Secret Stash tiara art. In addition to the designs, they compare each one to the classic FFVII Weapon superboss it is based on. In the initial image, Aerith is wearing the Emerald Tiara based on Emerald Weapon on the right. On the left side is 2D art of each tiara next to the weapon that inspired it. The Emerald Tiara is at the top, next to Emerald Weapon. The Diamond Tiara is in the middle, beside Diamond Weapon. At the bottom is the Ruby Tiara, which is to the adjacent to Ruby Weapon. Next, here is a picture of all three tiaras in 3D. On the left side, you can see them from the front. On the right, the view is from behind. Finally, here's the FFVII Remake Götterdämmerung Accessory, which is considered the "ultimate" one out of all accessories in the game. You can get it if you beat missions in the Shinra building's Shinra Combat Simulator. Two that offer it as rewards are "Three-Person Team vs. Top Secrets" and "Yuffie & Sonon vs. Shinra's Dark Secrets." The last time Square Enix shared FFVII Remake concept art, it looked at one of Tifa's dresses. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PlayStation 4, while FFVII Remake Intergrade is out on the PlayStation 5 and PC.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 8:30 AM HoYoVerse showed off the final new playable character who will be available in version 3.2. Layla. Layla is a 4-star Cryo Sword user from Sumeru in Genshin Impact, and she is a member of the Akademiya. She will debut in Yae Miko and Tartaglia's re-run banners. Layla is always sleepy due to her studies at the Akademiya. This comes across in her animations as well, where she encases herself in a Cryo shield and takes a nap. Like Nilou, Layla only has three strikes in her Normal Attack chain. Her Elemental Burst, Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker, creates something like a celestial-themed baby mobile that will fire off icicles within an AoE. It will also add Night Stars to her Curtain of Slumber. The Curtain of Slumber is Layla's Skill. It is a shield that will deal Cryo AoE DMG when she first uses it, and scales off of her max HP. Every time a character with this shield uses an Elemental Skill, it will generate two Night Stars. You will only be able to hold four. After you get four, the Night Stars will turn into Shooting Stars that will shoot out at the enemy. You can watch the latest Genshin Impact character demo trailer, "Layla: Radiant Star Trail", here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXFg0bsuvcs Miyu Tomita provides her voice in Japanese, while Ashley Biski voices her in English.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 8:15 AM Final Fantasy XIV version 6.3 will include some new tweaks and updates for player Jobs, as well as new content for those who want to test their skills against other players. The FFXIV Job Adjustments were announced in the latest Letter From the Producer Live broadcast, and it noted the Paladin will get a lot of attention. According to Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida, the team plans to make adjustments for various Jobs with the FFXIV Patch 6.3 cycle. These will affect performance in both PVP and PVE content. They don't plan any large-scale changes, but they do intend to pay special attention to the Paladin Job. According to Yoshida, the Paladin's rotation -- the sequence and timing with which a player uses its abilities for maximum effectiveness -- will be "heavily" revised. That means that Paladins could soon have to change the way they play, depending on what Job Adjustments are in store for FFXIV Patch 6.3. The team will also debut the FFXIV PVP Series 3 with Patch 6.3, as well as the fifth season of the Crystalline Conflict PVP mode. The newest PVP mode in the game, Crystalline Conflict is a team-based mode where players escort a crystal to the opposing side of the map, fighting opposing players trying to do the same. Unlike the older PVP modes, Crystalline Conflict uses a Seasonal pattern, and a separate currency with different rewards. Patch 6.3 will also introduce a new Crystalline Conflict map, inspired by the aesthetic of Kugane Castle from FFXIV: Stormblood. [gallery columns="2" size="medium" link="file" ids="939957,939958"] Final Fantasy XIV is available on PS4, PS5, and PC. Patch 6.3 will arrive in early January 2023.

Also, Yoshida joked about possibly adding a Zenos scarecrow for people to put in their Island Sanctuaries. While many of these additions weren't update, the new wildlife were teased.

Siliconera Friday, November 11, 2022 7:50 AM Square Enix will continue addressing Eorzea's housing difficulties in its new Final Fantasy XIV update by adding more homes. The FFXIV housing adjustments are planned for Patch 6.3. These will expand the pool of available housing for all players. Housing has always been a difficult issue in Final Fantasy XIV, due to its limited available supply compared with the number of players that want a place of their own. The FFXIV housing update scheduled to accompany Patch 6.3 will add more wards to all of the game's residential areas. Overall six regular wards and six subdivisions will be added, totaling 1,800 new housing plots per World server. These plots will be distributed via the lottery system implemented recently. The lottery system was introduced alongside the latest residential area, Ishgard's Empyreum. Intended to ensure more impartial distribution of housing to players that want it, the lottery has been tweaked several times since its introduction. Currently, it runs on a cycle where players can bid for a plot over five days. After that, the winners of the lottery claim and finalize their purchase over the next four days. Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida did not specify what the split would be for plots distributed to players and plots distributed to Free Companies (the in-game equivalent of "guilds"). He promised it would be clarified at a later date. Final Fantasy XIV is available on PC, PS4, and PS5. Patch 6.3 lands in January 2023.

Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida's first "panel" for this portion mentioned the big things coming in. There will be new Custom Deliveries. The client for that is from Il Mheg.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, November 11, 2022 12:02 PM Remedy Entertainment today has officially announced Control 2. While we've known that a sequel to Control was in the works, now we know the name at least won't deviate from the standard. Control 2, once called Codename Heron, is official. 505 Games is set to publish. Remedy's own Mikael Kasurinen, the Control franchise game director, also shared a quick update. Kasurinen writes that Control 2 will be Remedy's second "leap into the unknown." He also confirms that, while the name is confirmed, development is still in early phases. Alongside the update is a piece of concept art, showcasing a room likely within The Oldest House (because where else could it take place?).

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, November 11, 2022 11:00 AM When Harvestella was announced, I was elated. I love farming sims, especially the Rune Factory series. So Square Enix making a AAA entry into the genre is something I've wanted for years. Don't get me wrong — this is a good game. But it's not the AAA product I had been expecting, despite that $60 USD price tag. So many aspects of the visuals are dated and the combat is quite lackluster. But a hefty amount of content with lots of farming and questing coupled with a fairly decent story all make it well worth a play for lovers of farming sims who don't mind an emphasis on JRPG elements. At the start, you're offered a choice between two character models. One is a dainty female character. The other is a taller, more muscular female character. You can change their skin tones, eye color, and hair color during the "character creation" section, but that's it. Harvestella begins with your character getting discovered by the doctor of a sm... |
