PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 12:23 PM  Want to know where the Hogwarts Legacy landing platforms are? With so many hard-to-find collectibles in the game, it's perhaps hard to imagine that there is one relatively simple challenge out there. However, all you need to do to finish this one is land on top of some platforms while riding a broom or a magical creature. The tricky bit is that there are 20 Hogwarts Legacy landing platforms to find in the open-world game, and your reward for landing on all of them is a Quidditch set in the Hogwarts Legacy challenges unlockables. You can track which ones you've visited simply by looking at your Hogwarts Legacy map and seeing which regions still have landing platforms to visit. And yes, all you need to do to mark it off is to land on the platform and wait for the flames around it to ignite. It's as simple as that! We highly recommend you use Floo Flames to get around the map quickly.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 12:08 PM  Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes are crucial to success in the life sim as you'll need to cook up some tasty grub to earn Dreamlight, make friends, and keep your stamina up. With over 170 recipes to discover since Mirabel's Bunuelos were added, it can be hard to keep on top of them all. Luckily, we're here to help you decipher the best meals on the menu. The way to the hearts of all the Dreamlight Valley characters can be found through their stomachs, but it's equally important to keep yourself well-fed, too. Some Dreamlight Valley recipes - like the bouillabaisse recipe - offer more stamina than others, and while some can be obtained from completing quests, such as Remy's ratatouille recipe and Minnie's picnic favourites: crudites and fish sandwiches, others are unlocked by trying different ingredients together. To make it easier to get the most nutritious meals, we've compiled them all below, with five-star recipes offering the most energy.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:48 AM  If the Atomic Heart bosses have got you ill at ease, we don't blame you. Many of Sechenov's robots were built for industrial labour on a large scale, making them capable of taking an axe or shotgun shell to the chassis without pause. Thankfully, Mundfish has shown off a variety of ways to handle them once we're dropped into Facility 3826, but it won't be a walk in the park. While there are plenty of fearsome foes in the retrofuturistic FPS game, Atomic Heart bosses are a cut above the rest. Whether synthetic or organic, these enemies sport robust health bars and devastating abilities that can quickly reduce Atomic Heart protagonist Major P-3 to a bloody pulp. Here are all the Atomic Heart bosses confirmed so far, compiled into one easy list.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:48 AM  An Atomic Heart romance may seem unlikely, but don't count it out just yet. Over the course of Atomic Heart's development, Mundfish has dropped multiple breadcrumbs that suggest love is in the air. It's hard to imagine an Atomic Heart romance could fit among the chaos of Soviet absurdism, but that hasn't dampened the fire of fan speculation – especially when it comes to a certain set of synthetic twins. Atomic Heart might be one of the best PC games of this year, so it's no surprise we're getting a little hot under the collar.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:46 AM  Want to know how to learn the Hogwarts Legacy unforgivable curses? You can go through the entirety of your wizarding adventure without learning how to cast any of these special curses, so you need to know which quest line to prioritise if you want to become a dark witch or wizard. Unlike some RPG games, you don't have to worry about anyone judging you for using unforgivable curses because Hogwarts Legacy doesn't have a morality meter. This means you're able to cast these Hogwarts Legacy spells without being called out by your fellow students, but you have to live with the knowledge that you're using dangerous and evil magic. If that doesn't bother you, here's what you need to do to unlock Crucio, Imperio, and Avada Kedavra.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:32 AM  Want to know how to import your house and wand to Hogwarts Legacy? It's not surprising - our house is important to us witches and wizards, and we don't want to risk getting placed into the wrong one. So how do you determine your house before even loading up the open-world game? First, you need to have a Wizarding World account, and you must have completed your house sorting over there (though if you're not happy with it, you can pick the best Hogwarts Legacy house when you're in-game - same goes for the best wand). Once you've done that, you can link your Wizarding World account to Hogwarts Legacy for a predetermined house and wand, and even an exclusive customisation option.

The rival to Capcom's Monster Hunter shows plenty of promise with its unorthodox weapons and humongous foes, but many players even on high-spec PCs report struggling with issues including frame rate drops, screen tearing, and texture pop-in.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:23 AM  Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages are one of many collectables in the Harry Potter RPG, and they can be quite confusing. You'll probably find a few as soon as you're let loose around Hogwarts after the intro, and as expected, you need to use Revelio to find them, but how exactly do they work? Revelio pages in Hogwarts Legacy are in the same category as field guide pages and flying pages, but they're also slightly different. You may notice that Revelio pages specifically are tracked in-game, as each one provides a tiny bit of lore about the subject in question, whether it's something like the Great Hall which every Potter fan knows and recognises in the open-world game, or a collection of beehives in a hamlet miles away from the castle. Here's what you need to know about the Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 1:05 PM  Want to know what the best Hogwarts Legacy brooms and upgrades are? You're likely to get tired of moving around on foot rather quickly in an open-world game with a region as big as this one is. If you are longing to take to the skies, chances are that you still have a fair bit of the story to go before the game allows you to hop onto one of these contraptions, as the proprietor of Spintwitches Sporting Needs, Albie Weekes, is out of town when you first visit Hogsmeade. Even though the Hogwarts Legacy Quidditch season has been unceremoniously cancelled by Hogwarts headmaster Professor Black, one of the many colourful Hogwarts Legacy characters you'll meet in the RPG game, you can still, eventually, buy a decent broom in Hogsmeade. The shop that sells Hogwarts Legacy brooms and upgrades will open after you complete the brooms class with Madam Kogawa, which comes after your first Ancient Magic trial. You'll need a fair bit of cash to afford one, so make sure you're looking through Hogwarts Legacy eyeball chests, selling useless items, and gathering coins on your journey.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:06 AM  Want to add the Hogwarts Legacy Phoenix to your creature collection? It's likely the final fantastic beast on your list to catch, and if you've been looking for a den on the map, it's not worth bothering. That's because there's only one of them in the game, and it's very elusive, only showing up after meeting specific requirements. Catching this fabulous Hogwarts Legacy beast is wildly different to every other creature. Rather than hunting it down, you get it as part of a side quest. Given how rare the Phoenix is in the open-world game, your house-elf companion - Deek - is understandably concerned about poachers in the local area, and it's up to you to give it the sanctuary it needs.

Instead, you find this door next to some pillars and a pedestal where you can place the Moonstone. While it's evident that moving the lamps requires one of the more basic Hogwarts Legacy spells - Accio - it's not clear what the solution you're looking for is for this most fiendish of open-world game puzzles. However, upon closer examination of the clues before you, it should become a little clearer what to do; if not, we have the solution to the puzzle.

However, a select few of these mysteries actually count towards one of the game's challenges. It's worth noting that you won't be able to solve all of the Hogwarts Legacy secrets until quite late into the game. This is because some rather hefty requirements rely on you learning specific Hogwarts Legacy spells and, in one case, upgrading it by finding all of the Demiguise Statues in the RPG game.

In such a massive open-world game, the map is crucial to your exploration, and Hogwarts Legacy is no different.

Before you can get the Hogwarts Legacy Key of Admittance, you need to learn how to unlock doors with Alohomora and increase its level to three by nabbing all of the Hogwarts Legacy Demiguise Statues. On top of that, you also need to complete the quest 'The Polyjuice Plot' by finding out the Black family motto and accessing the headmaster's office.

Any piece of gear you find can be altered to take on the appearance of another item. The RPG game features a range of clothing to make your avatar stand out from the rest of the Hogwarts Legacy characters. Any piece of clothing you find in Hogwarts Legacy will appear as a transmog option. This means you don't need to hold onto your favourite clothes just because they look good.

If being on time and passing your classes isn't enough, you'll have all manner of fantastic beasts and goblin uprisings to deal with. It's always tough to pin down just how long it will take someone to beat an open-world game.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, February 17, 2023 12:26 PM  Quickplay strategy games have always been a thing, but they appear to be gaining in popularity lately. I will probably regret not keeping Ozymandias aside for the traditional "summer strategy game for when your brain is a gas" bit, but the scene is looking healthy enough to chance it. You know that cliché feeling of "just one more turn"? Ozymandias is a bronze age 4X that builds momentum enough to turn that into "just one more game". It is incredibly easy to learn, and despite looking a little dry and number heavy, becomes more effortless, more pleasant the longer you play. It also becomes more clear how much depth there is hidden away in such a light design. It's about proving yourself the most prestigious civilisation, not through total conquest, but by exploiting the lay of the land, and leaning into your strengths. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, February 17, 2023 12:00 PM  I like wizards because they're the dramatic combination of powerful, cocky, and a bit dim. Through some quirk of bloodline or destiny, wizards can access impossible forces simply by saying magic words. This does not engender caution. A wizard's not a real wizard until they have accidentally set themselves on fire or unleashed an ancient evil. And if you throw four of this dim demigods together? Well, you get the co-op wizard action of the Magicka games, where freestyling elemental combinations can (and often will) lead you to heal a boss or torch your pal's face. Splendid chaos. |

Both Jolyne and her Stand Stone Free from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean will join the MegaHouse Look Up figure collection. The company shared a number of MegaHobby Plus 2023 Winter Stage announcements on February 17, 2023. Among them was a first look at the two characters. These are early in development, so they are unpainted prototypes and still need to go through approvals. As is fitting for Jolyne and her Stand, the two figures are sitting in the same pose. Jolyne will wear her iconic outfit. Her face is already painted on the prototype as well. Each one will be just over four inches tall. Their heads will also be able to be posed, so you can adjust the position and angle.
Past additions to the Look Up line included characters from Chainsaw Man and Hololive Vtubers like Korone and Okayu. The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean Jolyne and Stone Free Stand Look Up figures are in development. There's no release window for either one yet. People can watch the anime adaptation on Netflix. Also in Fall 2023, Viz Media will begin releasing the Stone Ocean manga outside Japan.

Players who have not yet downloaded the Valentine's Day event update patch for the Japanese version of Fate/Grand Order will need to make sure their phone has enough space. After the download, the app will take up 15 GB in your phone. Once you start the story, the data should download onto your phone. As a reminder, all of the Valentine's Day Servant events will be voiced. Some Servants will require you to have finished their corresponding story arcs before you can view their event. For example, you cannot receive Oberon's gift without completing the British Lostbelt, nor can you fully see Douman's event unless you have finished Heian-kyo. Servants you give the Blessed Chocolate to will get an attack bonus during the event. For 2023, the Valentine's Day Servant is Pope Joan, or Johanna. She appears in the commercial for the Fate/Grand Order Valentine's Day event. You can view the commercial here, though it does contain some spoilers for the Lostbelt chapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXRVY21_4_I&t=5s As for Pope Johanna's skills, she is an Arts-based attacker. Her skills focus on increasing her NP gauge, improving her Arts performance, as well as increasing her Critical Stars and Strength on Arts attacks.

In Genshin Impact, people can custom their characters' appearance in various ways. Costumes are one. However, you can also change the look of the Wind Glider they use when exploring. Amazon and HoYoVerse just shared a peek at and details about the Amazon Prime Gaming Genshin Impact Wings of the Starlit Feast Wind Glider skin subscribers can earn. However, it involves claiming content drops in order to get the Wind Glider in June 2023. Since December 2022, Amazon offered Genshin Impact "drops." These are small packs of in-game items people who subscribe can claim. There will be eight total, and the fourth one appeared on February 17, 2023. If people get at least four of the eight Amazon Prime Gaming Genshin Impact drops, then they get the Wings of the Starlit Feast Wind Glider as a ninth one. There's no exact date for its June 2023 release yet, but it will automatically appear in a person's mailbox in-game if someone grabs four. This will be a new pair of blue and gold "wings." As for the fourth drop, it consists of three items. You get one Fragile Resin, which you can use to recover 60 Original Resin. You also get eight Mystic Enhancement Ores that can be applied to a weapon to raise its level. Finally, the bundle offers 20,000 Mora. Subscribers can only claim it until March 2, 2023. However, if people miss it, there are still four more drops they can claim to qualify for the Wind Glider skin. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4. PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 3.5 update arrives on March 1, 2023. The post See the Amazon Prime Gaming Genshin Impact Wings of the Starlit Feast Wind Glider appeared first on Siliconera. |

It seems we won't encounter any more Atelier Ryza 3 delays. Koei Tecmo took to Twitter to confirm the third entry in Ryza's adventures has gone gold. Back in January 2023, the company announced a one month delay that pushed it out of February 2023. Here's the official announcement from the Koei Tecmo Europe account. It features a video of Ryza dancing around various locations from the new game while wearing her new outfit. As a reminder, it going gold means that Gust is completely done with the main game's development.
Back when the game was delayed, Producer Junzo Hosoi cited a need for additional polish. The goal was to be certain the finished game's quality met their expectations. Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & The Secret Key will appear first in Japan on March 23, 2023. A day later on March 24, 2023, it will appear worldwide. People will be able to find it on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. The post Atelier Ryza 3 Goes Gold Ahead of March 2023 Debut appeared first on Siliconera. |

HoYoVerse uploaded a new trailer for Yanqing, as he will appear in Honkai: Star Rail. Not only does the short video show off his personality, but you can also check out the animations for his Skill and Ultimate. Yanqing will be an Ice character, and his Path will be The Hunt. You can watch the Honkai: Star Rail trailer for Yanqing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TY_i3n-7jY Despite his appearance as an old man in Honkai Impact 3rd, he is a young one in Star Rail.

He also speaks of his obsession with swords and training in the voiceover. Previously, HoYoVerse released his moveset. His moves such as Drakestoning Edge and Swallow's Pluvious Pursuit appear in the trailer as well. In English, Amber May voices Yanqing. May previously voiced Dehya in Genshin Impact and Barbie in Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams. In Japanese, Marina Inoue voices him.

There's a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet patch on the way, and once applied it adds more options for players' Pokemon Boxes. Namely, you'll be able to do things like rename Pokemon or adjust their item from boxes. A number of issues will also be addressed via bug fixes. This update is scheduled to appear in "late" February 2023. Prior to the update, people needed to add Pokemon to their party in order to make certain adjustments. For example, if you wanted to change the held item, you'd need to take a character from your Pokemon Boxes, then move them to your active party in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, leave that menu, and go to the main menu to make changes. The same went for changing their nicknames, altering their move set, or using a TM to teach them a new ability. There will also be new Battle Team indicators when looking at Pokemon Boxes and selection options. A number of Tera Raid issues are also repaired. Some of these dealt with the opposing Pokemon's health not being accurately reduced or all allies fainting even though they still had health and should be alive. Here are the full Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 1.2.0 patch notes from Nintendo Support.

A collaboration event for Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Chainsaw Man begins soon, and official accounts for the anime shared information about the Nikke x Chainsaw Man crossover characters. As previously announced, the event will involve members of Chainsaw Man's Public Safety Devil Hunters unit and add Makima, Power, and Himeno as playable characters. Aki Hayakawa and Denji are also involved in the event, but won't be playable. The Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover "Bullet x Chainsaw" launches on February 22, 2023. Shift Up began promoting the Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover with a preview of poster art for the event featuring Denji in his Chainsaw Man form. It also shared banner art of Power and Makima, as well as combat sprites for Himeno and Power. Power and Makima will be obtainable on the gacha Recruitment banner, and are of Limited status, meaning they won't be available to recruit when the event ends. [gallery columns="5" size="medium" link="file" ids="951633,951632,951631,951630,951702"] Via a tweet, Shift Up also shared a preview of Himeno and Power's appearance in cutscenes. Cutscene sprites are animated using Live2D, and the clip features voice actors Mariya Ise and Fairouz Ai playing Himeno and Power, as they did in the Chainsaw Man anime. Himeno will be freely obtainable through participation in the event, and wields the "Ghost Sight" sniper rifle weapon. Here's Himeno's Live2D preview. https://twitter.com/NIKKE_en/status/1626144435212894209?s=20 And here's Power's. https://twitter.com/NIKKE_en/status/1626506805349175296?s=20 Notably, the Tweet also lists the Devil Hunter characters' "Manufacturer." Nikke characters are all cyborgs created by one of four in-game factions (Elysion, Missilis, Tetra Line, and the Pilgrims). "Abnormal" could be a fifth faction, or a reference to the fact that Chainsaw Man characters aren't affiliated with any in-game Nikke faction. Another preview image for the crossover dropped more hints about the playable Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover characters, and how players will be able to use them in their existing squads.
The paper notes beside each character's photo indicate their classification and traits, which are important for fitting them into a Nikke squad.
The Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover event launches on February 22, 2023. The game is available on iOS, Android, and PC. A pre-launch login campaign is ongoing, rewarding players who log into the game with recruitment tickets and other bonuses.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the latest farming simulation from retro game compilation developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. In it, you'll play as the familiar-looking Ryoma and rebuild a farm and become a father figure to orphan Haruka. There's also some other things like fights and intrigue, we guess? Read on for our full breakdown. Confused by Ishin? That's totally understandable. As Sega continues its unenviable effort of trying to rebrand the Yakuza franchise in the West to its original Japanese name, that's going to happen, and doing so with a game in a different time and setting compounds the problem. (After all, the Story of Seasons team is still dealing with lingering Harvest Moon confusion!) What you need to know? Yep, it's the same franchise, and reverting to the original name makes a lot more sense when many of the games have much less of a focus on organized crime. Ishin is, despite making its Western debut, a remake of a 2014 game with the same general premise and gameplay. Much like the Kiwami releases, this one has seen updates to accompany the remaster, including a move to Unreal Engine 4. This has a number of effects on players' experience! It looks nice, clearly. It suffers, though, from some of the same problems as 60-frame-per-second films. There's a lot of detail and great lighting, but with environments that aren't as cluttered as the modern-day titles, things end up feeling more like a movie set or theme park than a real place as their artifice is more noticeable in higher definition.
Ishin also suffers from a number of technical issues. The franchise's tactical reuse of withered technology brought with it some of its own problems in the past, but here we saw some different pain points. Sometimes, menu selections just didn't load and you could still choose blindly to continue but it wasn't ideal. Playing for a long time at once (which, surprise, we review folk have to do a lot) led to some serious slowdown when loading a scripted sequence or talking to a vendor. It's tolerable, and we bet RGG Studio can patch many of these issues! But you should know about them going in. It always takes a bit for a Ryu Ga Gotoku game to open up and get good, and Ishin is no exception. The early hours are a slog that tries to get you invested in the story, and we find this to be way less effective than the open parts that let you opt in to the main narrative when you feel like it. And hey, by doing some of the side activities, like becoming a samurai cop and exposing your mentor's killer, you can unlock cool upgrades for your farm! You'll definitely need to bring along some patience or tolerance for tedium to deal with some of Like a Dragon: Ishin's substories. One has you listening to very long stories from a talkative lady and answering questions to make sure you paid attention. One has you chop a bunch of logs over and over.
Perhaps the most egregious? Ones that make you keep performing the same fetch quests over and over. There's a kid who loves vegetables, and he's endearing! But the number of times you have to push through the same prompts to hand him a veggie? Too high. Similar is the battered defender, who just needs you to stuff his gullet with medicine about 50 times. Still, in some of these substories lies the true charm of the franchise. Ishin even includes a story explanation for why you can find items in pots and why it's totally fine to take them. Just in case you want to take a break from the clear core gameplay here of farming just outside of town with your best pal Haruka — and we don't know why you would — it's good to get acquainted with the combat system! You can switch between four styles at almost any time. The fist-fighting of Brawler wasn't our taste, but you do end up using it when you're surprised without your weapons handy. Swordsman style is probably what you'd expect to see most in a throwback setting, and we found it most useful for one-on-one boss-battle standoffs. Gunman lets you just shoot with reckless abandon, and we used it a lot on low-level fights to finish them before foes even got close. But let's use the luxury and prestige of a paragraph break to wax a bit about Wild Dancer. The fourth combat style is our go-to favorite, and works in so many settings. Sure, using a firearm and a sword at the same time is cool, but what makes Wild Dancer so good is its dodge. Ryoma spins and avoids almost any attack, even at close range, as long as you're paying attention. It's definitely the one to use against a pack of fighters, but we — admittedly action game amateurs — ran through boss fights untouched in ways we just haven't been able to manage in other similar games. Wild Dancer? It gets our seal of approval.
Accompanying all of these styles is the new Trooper Card system. You can equip extra effects, like special attacks and healing, and upgrade these cards a lot like a gacha mobile game. We found the effects helpful enough without micromanaging too much, and in the pre-release review period, we couldn't address how broken those DLC cards might be. So if the system puts you off, it's probably fine to not mess with them too much and enjoy some minor health regeneration or whatever else shows up by default. Like a Dragon: Ishin! uses the likeness and mannerisms of fictional protagonist Kiryu Kazuma to play real historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma as he pretends to be a man named Saito Hajime. It's exactly as confusing as it sounds for both newcomers and returning fans. It's fun to see familiar faces play the roles of characters in the adventure, but you may need to take notes or check the relationship chart in the menu often. There's even a "Dragon of Dojima" skin for the protagonist, and equipping it makes things even more confusing. There are a lot of references to real-life history in Ishin that for sure won't land with a Western audience, but we're glad it's there for the curious. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega even implemented a helpful contextual glossary, defining specific terms of the region and era. It's totally unobtrusive, but when you want some clarity, you can hit the button in the middle of dialogue.
With the old faces playing these roles, its story feels more like a stage play than ever. And we're no experts, but we get the feeling that the game approaches adherence to history similarly. Many characters have names of real-life people, and those names usually do have something to do with how they're portrayed. But, and we're sure you didn't need us to tell you this, please don't use this as a serious educational tool. The localization adds a few chuckles, especially when using modern phrasing in this old-timey context. But it works well with the rest of the game's strange juxtapositions. At its best when its focus is divided, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a fun Bakumatsu sandbox. It doesn't have the engrossing standout minigame like the cabaret or business management challenges of previous titles, and its time period means it also doesn't pack a fun arcade. But its jack-of-all-trades approach still resonates. Like a Dragon: Ishin! launches February 21, 2023 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox. It's developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. Deluxe pre-orders include early access for players, allowing them to start playing on February 17, 2023.

Among Pokemon, Wailord is among the largest. According to its Pokedex entry, it measures nearly 14.5 meters (47 feet) in length, larger than even real-life blue whales. Unlike with the life-size Lucario, though, The Pokemon Company, has opted for a more manageable scale for its Pokemon Wailord plush toy. The Pokemon Wailord plush is, sizing aside, a rendition of the massive cetacean Pokemon. It appears much as it did in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire on the Game Boy Advance. The Wailord plush measures at 1/10th scale of the real one, making it roughly 1.45 meters in length (about 4 feet and 9 inches). It weighs 6.5 kilograms (about 14 lbs). The Pokemon Wailord plush is available from the Pokemon Center online store in Japan. Pre-orders are open through March 13, 2023, and orders will ship out in August 2023. The plush will cost 49,500 Yen to purchase (about $367 USD). The official Pokemon account also tweeted some pictures of the Wailord plush in everyday situations, to help fans imagine themselves possessing their own. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="951655,951656,951657,951658" link="file"] Wailord is one of the largest Pokemon in the franchise. Known as "Whaloh" in Japanese, it evolves from the Wailmer, which is much smaller at about 2 meters (6 feet) tall. Much like a real-life whale, it eats food while swimming, and is able to leap out of the water to make tremendous splashes. On a single breath, it can dive close to 10,000 feet (about 3 kilometers). The Wailord Plush is available for pre-order until March 13, 2023 in Japan. Wailord itself appeared in Pokemon games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as their 3DS-based remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

It seems people interested in buying a FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 ticket won't be guaranteed to get one, as Square Enix announced there will be a lottery. Rather than outright buying one for the Las Vegas, Nevada event, active players can apply for a chance to buy one and attend. People can sign up for a chance to get one between February 17-25, 2023. Those picked can purchase one between March 6-13, 2023. General sales will open after that. Here's how it will all work. The Player-Exclusive Ticket Purchase Application for FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 is now open online. Someone must have an active North American Square Enix account and game subscription to register there. If they are picked, an access code will be sent to their email on March 3, 2023. Then, on March 6, 2023, they can head to Showclix to purchase up to two tickets for $199.99 each for the event. That will get you in for both days and a goody bag. If any tickets are left after the FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 player lottery ends, then there will be a General Sales Period. There's no end-date for that, should it happen. However, there will still be a two-ticket limit on purchases. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The FFXIV Fan Festival will be held July 28-29, 2023. The Player-Exclusive Ticket Purchase Application lottery is open now, ahead of sales running February 17-25, 2023.

Part 9 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, The JOJOLands, started on February 17, 2023 in Ultra Jump. Because of this, we also know some more information about the titular JoJo, as well as his quest. Jodio Joestar is the name of the JoJo in The JOJOLands and the story centers on how he became a filthy rich millionaire. However, the mechanism he used to achieve that was rather unconventional. As a warning, the first chapter of The JOJOLands does have a scene of a cop sexually assaulting a character. The JOJOLands takes place in Oahu, Hawaii some time around 2021. Even in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe, COVID-19 exists. Stands will still be the main power system in The JOJOLands, and we get a glimpse of three of the main characters'. Again, all of the Stand names are song references. We also get a quick overview of Jodio Joestar and his past, as well as his family structure, in the first chapter. It seems that Jodio's story will be similar to Giorno's in Golden Wind. As a reminder, Giorno was the protagonist of Vento Aureo, which was Part 5. Giorno wanted to be the leader of the local gang (a gang star, to be more precise), and what started as a normal escort mission soon became something bigger than that. The JOJOLands has started serialization in Ultra Jump. It is unclear when the official English version for it will come out.

The name of the patch is Windblume's Breath, which is the name of the flagship event. The release date for version 3.5 of Genshin Impact is March 1, 2023. Windblume's Breath will be the new Mondstadt-centric event, which also stars Sumeru characters Collei, Cyno, and Tighnari.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, February 17, 2023 12:00 PM  Another RGG Studio PC port has graced us. Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the first of the studio's games to run on Unreal Engine 4, and so the PC port is a little different than those of the Dragon Engine games. While the game is being touted as a remake, that isn't really true. All of the geometry and animations from the original 2014 release were all ported to this new engine alongside a lot of the less important character models. The textures have been redone and major models have been updated or changed outright. But, at its core, you're still very much looking at a game that's nearly a decade old. Surprisingly, the game's install size is a whopping 58 GB — which is a bit much, no? As such, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a lot easier to run than any of the examples from the more recent series entries.
