Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 7:40 PM  The world received some very sad news earlier today when we learned that legendary English football commentator John Motson, whose career spanned decades (and included very long stints in video games), had passed away at the age of 77. |
Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:40 PM  Warner Bros., this is not how it is done! There are rules and guidelines in place for how video games are revealed in 2023, and "quickly mentioning it in passing on a phone call" breaks all of them! |
Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:15 PM  Destiny 2 players have been waiting for its giant magic alien ball to finally do something for years.

Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:10 PM  Today, during Sony's first State of Play broadcast of 2023, we got a big ol' look at the upcoming online third-person DC Comics shooter Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. It looked…fine. But a newly posted FAQ on the official game's website has confirmed that you'll have to be online at all times to play the… |
Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 5:35 PM  It's been a minute since Sony's last State of Play showcase, and PlayStation fans have been hungry for new updates and big reveals on the PlayStation 5's future.

Kotaku Thursday, February 23, 2023 5:20 PM  We get it, new-gen games are expensive. At $70 a pop for PlayStation's most sought after first-party games that are jam-packed with all the goodies you'd want in a PS5 game (like ray-tracing, higher frame rates, and less load times), it's understandable if you don't have an extensive collection just yet. The era of… |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:28 PM  Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League got a lengthy demonstration at tonight's PlayStation State Of Play event, which clarified several things about what kind of game Rocksteady's long-awaited return to the DC Universe really is. It turns out it's a game with lots of floaty air combat, lots of noise, lots of loot and gear scores and weapon classes, and with a battle pass (but for cosmetics only). Plus there will be DLC to add new characters post-launch. |

The Yakuza series is no stranger to extremely weird substories, and Like a Dragon: Ishin is no different. We've seen people in diapers. The Obatarian's thoroughly beaten Goro, the Mad Dog himself, Majima. Yet even with all that, I really didn't expect to see a Like a Dragon: Ishin sumo wrestler brothel substory. Editor's Note: If you want to be surprised by the Like a Dragon: Ishin Soft and Supple substory, stop reading.If you haven't encountered this one yet, you likely haven't spent much time in Gion. After you progress through the story, you open up this district with more adult pursuits. Ryoma ended up there on work-related business, and I figured taking the palanquin to fast travel back to Fushimi was worth the mon. However, while walking to it, a man stopped me. He explained he's just opened a new brothel that hasn't really gotten a lot of attention yet. As a Yakuza series veteran, I know better than to reject any substory opportunity, and I've been opting into any Like a Dragon: Ishin one I can out of curiosity. I'd avoided all the courtesan activities prior to this, but I had to see if there would be a twist. Boy, was there. To the credit of this substory, it commits to the bit. Ryoma is brought to a brothel! The owner asks what kind of person would be his type. You can choose "someone diligent and tireless," "someone deft at giving pleasure," or "someone with a perfect body." It's only after you make that choice that it happens. The sumo wrestler appears. Depending on your answer, you'll see one of three sumo appear. The owner is still 100% committed. No matter which response you pick, he'll assert how exceptional that particular sumo is. Which, in a way, is heartwarming. He completely believes in his employees. He also recognizes their worth, saying Ryoma needs to pay 10 ryo. Of course, you don't agree to that. That's crazy. Which means all three sumo at the Like a Dragon: Ishin sumo brothel come to try and beat Ryoma up.
Winning ends up honestly being rather heartwarming. The owner still fully believes in his particular escorts, but promises to be more honest about exactly what kind of brothel he's running. There's no condemnation of people who would want to spend an evening with a sumo wrestler. The owner acknowledges his own wrongdoing in the misunderstanding. You also get 3 ryo, which is always appreciated. The Like a Dragon: Ishin Soft and Supple substory really encapsulates the extremes the Yakuza series can hit. It can touch on some really unexpected concepts and tastes, but do so in a way that doesn't end up feeling objectionable or offensive. It's delightfully silly, and I appreciate that it can still maintain that tone after all these years. Like a Dragon: Ishin is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Capcom showed off more of the Resident Evil 4 remake at Sony's State of Play presentation, along with the announcement that a demo is on the way. The new trailer showed off a lot more of the remake's gameplay, featuring the massive El Gigante and the Las Plagas causing the game's infection.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, February 23, 2023 9:55 PM  Sons of the Forest has various mechanics that you need to master if you want to survive the harsh wilderness. Many of these are related to collecting materials, crafting items, and building structures. Here's our article to help you make use of the Sons of the Forest Guide Book. Note: For more information, check out our Sons of the Forest guides and features hub. How to use the Guide Book in Sons of the Forest The Guide Book in Sons of the Forest is somewhat different from item combination. Item combination, which is done via your inventory, can be considered as the game's traditional crafting mechanic. You'll place two or more materials, and you'd end up making something else entirely. The Sons of the Forest Guide Book, meanwhile, is primarily for buildings and fixtures. You'll gain access to it after you leave the helicopter crash site. When you open your inventory by pressing the "I" key, you'll see an Emergency Package. Open it and yo... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, February 23, 2023 9:35 PM  You'll be building structures often in Sons of the Forest. From simple steps, fences, and walls, to something you can consider your permanent shelter, there's one particular material that you'll need a lot of: planks. Unfortunately, the game isn't clear on how you could actually acquire them. Well, not to worry. Here's our guide to help you make planks in Sons of the Forest. Note: For more information, check out our Sons of the Forest guides and features hub. Sons of the Forest guide – How to make planks Funnily enough, it's fairly simple to make planks in Sons of the Forest. The only tool you need is an Axe, which is available by default since it's part of your Emergency Package. You'll gain access to it, as well as the rest of your inventory, after leaving the crash site. Now, open your inventory and equip the Axe. Next, see all the medium-sized and tall trees around you? Go ahead and chop them down. Do take note that smaller tree... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, February 23, 2023 9:25 PM  You'll fight dangerous enemies in Sons of the Forest. Early on, you can fend them off using the Crafted Spear or Crafted Bow. Still, you might need something that's a bit more, shall we say, fiery, just to even the odds. Here's our guide to help you craft a Molotov Cocktail in Sons of the Forest. Note: For more information, check out our Sons of the Forest guides and features hub. Sons of the Forest guide – How to craft a Molotov Cocktail You'll need a couple of items to craft a Molotov Cocktail in Sons of the Forest: 1x Cloth – You should have a couple of cloth pieces in your inventory after checking all the containers in the crash site. Alternatively, there might be some in a nearby base camp at the end of the winding river. 1x Alcohol – Speaking of containers, you might see one near the crash site that has a bottle of alcohol. The aforementioned base camp might also have a couple, as well as the nearby cave. Screenshot by PC Invasion Once ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, February 23, 2023 9:15 PM  In Sons of the Forest, you'll have to remember the day-night cycle. While it's always a good idea to explore your surroundings during the day, there are times when you'd have to go out at night. And it's extremely dark out there, which means you need a light source. Here's our guide to help you make a torch in Sons of the Forest. Note: For more information, check out our Sons of the Forest guides and features hub. Sons of the Forest guide – How to craft a torch To craft a torch in Sons of the Forest, you'll need a couple of items: 1x Stick – Sticks are fairly easy to find in the game. They're scattered all over the ground, but you can also pick them up by chopping down small trees. First, you'll want to equip your Axe via your inventory. Then, go ahead and wail away on small trees and shrubbery. You should be able to amass quite a number of sticks in this manner. 1x Cloth – Cloth is obviously rarer than plain ol' ... |
