PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:42 AM  A Minecraft shield is a simple but useful defensive tool to aid in pixelated combat, used to block direct melee attacks or projectiles in the sandbox game. Minecraft shields are not upgradable, so it's one size fits all, but they can be customised using a banner to cover it in your own design, and they do have a handful of compatible enchantments. One of the best PC games of the last decade, Minecraft is always being updated, keeping players coming back year after years. As such, long-term fans' dreams were realised when caving in the survival game was made even spookier with the Caves and Cliffs update - and, with that, a shield is one of the first things you should consider crafting before heading underground to Minecraft Lush Caves, Dripstone caves, and extended world depth. Not only is it fairly resource cheap, but since you can customise it, you also look fairly cool carrying one around. Here's everything you need to know about making, using and decorating your Minecraft shield.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:36 AM  The Destiny 2 Steam player count is going up and up as fans of the Bungie FPS game prepare their Guardians for the imminent Lightfall release date, which will see the arrival of a whole-new Destiny 2 DLC, and the beginning of Destiny 2 Season 20.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:34 AM  Looking for the best Batman games on PC? The Caped Crusader has been protecting Gotham's streets for many years now across many different media franchises. And naturally, the philanthropist-turned-superhero has from time to time swooped his way over to the world of videogames. Thankfully, unlike many other superhero games, most of Batman's games on PC have been quite good. Whether fighting criminals through the dank halls of Arkham Asylum or taking a more light-hearted romp through Gotham as his LEGO counterpart, there's something for all fans of the Dark Knight. However, most of them come in the form of action-adventure games, and one or two could be argued to be some of the best PC games. We'll only be covering games where Batman, or Gotham, is the star, so no Injustice or Multiversus here, as good as those fighting games are, or anything that isn't easily accessible anymore.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:28 AM  Minecraft mobs are the living entities in Minecraft - short for mobile, these sometimes adorable, sometimes aggressive creatures roam the many biomes of the blocky universe. They will interact and respond to you, other players, and other mobs, whether that's a zombie literally knocking at your door, or the chickens in your backyard coop. There are many aspects that make Minecraft one of the best PC games of all time, and its creatures definitely help - be them mythical or real, hostile or friendly. Minecraft mobs are susceptible to the same physics and environmental changes that affect players, such as catching fire or drowning. They can be attacked and killed with weapons, and when killed, they drop resources and experience points, with hostile mobs dropping rarer items on occasion. So, while you can add other mobs with various Minecraft mods, here's every Minecraft mob available in the vanilla game right now - and announced for the future.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:17 AM  In case you're unsure, Sims 4 CC, or custom content, is just one of the ways you can add even more individuality to your Sim and their environment. While the base game and official packs provide a lot of customisation options to the classic game, there's always room and a demand for more - as demonstrated by the massive Sims 4 modding community over the years. With The Sims 5 release date on the horizon, Sims 4 shows no signs of slowing down, with new official expansion packs still being released regularly, and more Sims 4 mods and CC packs than ever.

We have tested several of them across the major headsets, ranging from the good, the bad, and the downright nausea-inducing – and we will endeavour to seek out new, strange, and challenging content for this burgeoning platform in the name of science... or something.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:51 AM  The best Warzone 2 shotgun might not immediately spring to mind when you think about the sprawling Al Mazrah and its high, long-distance vantage points. Still, you may be surprised about just how well it might serve you. After all, the map is dense with buildings, and you're likely to run into an opponent tucked into the corner of a room eventually. You will also certainly get more up close and personal once the storm circles close in. The best shotgun in Warzone 2 is the KV Broadside. With an exceptional rate of fire, this shotgun can decimate foes at close range in the battle royale game. However, we'd certainly recommend running Overkill - more on that in our guide to the Warzone 2 perk packages - so you can accompany your shotgun with one of the best Warzone 2 guns with a bit more range.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 6:50 AM  The Minecraft candle recipe was added to the sandbox game back during the first half of the massive Caves and Cliffs update, which was released in June. These colourful decorative items don't give off a huge amount of light, but they certainly help - and, more importantly, they look pretty doing so. Minecraft candles don't just stop at atmospherically lighting up your world in the crafting game, they can even light up a cute birthday cake - whether you're celebrating with yourself, giving one to a friend on a Minecraft server, or even just celebrating the anniversary of when you tamed that pet wolf. However you want to use a candle in Minecraft though, you need to know how to make one and how to get the resources needed, so here's what you need to know.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 6:46 AM  Want to know about The Witcher 4 release date? CD Projekt RED initially confirmed the existence of a new game in The Witcher series via a press release in March 2022. Since then, we've received confirmation that the upcoming open-world game is the first instalment in a new trilogy, though it remains unclear whether it will follow the characters and events of the previous games. While it's safe to assume this new entry to the series won't be called The Witcher 4, we will call it that for now, for lack of a better, more official term. The closest we have to a title currently is its internal codename: Polaris. If it's anything like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it has the potential to be one of the best PC games ever, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 6:39 AM  Want to find out how to complete the Elden Ring Millicent questline? Players first encounter Millicent in Caelid, where you find her unable to move due to her incurable case of Scarlet Rot, a dangerous substance that plagues the area. This quest not only rewards us with some great equipment, but we also get to save someone from dying due to a horrible disease - happy days. Completing Millicent's questline in Elden Ring rewards you with some of the best Elden Ring talismans in the RPG game, including the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis. These items are crucial for some of the best Elden Ring builds, as they can maximise your damage output when using certain melee weapons. Completing this Elden Ring quest will take you through a large portion of the fantasy game, so you may need to break it down into steps instead of tackling it all in a single session. If you've explored Caelid, you may have run into an NPC named Millicent near the Elden Ring boss Commander O'Neil. Don't worry, you can defeat this NPC invader without affecting the quest's outcome.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:13 AM  The Overwatch 2 PvE release date isn't set in stone, but we do have some idea of when it'll finally make an appearance. Overwatch is no stranger to PvE modes, and recent events are proof positive that time-limited cooperative events are still on the cards for the sequel. However, a dedicated Overwatch 2 PvE mode is a different prospect, and one which fans of the free PC game's story have been anticipating for some time. The PvE mode is predicted to integrate major plot developments as part of an ongoing campaign, so if you're invested in the trials and tribulations of the Overwatch 2 characters, this upcoming story mode is guaranteed to be right up your street.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 7:00 AM  If you want to channel your inner cowboy, the Destiny 2 Last Word hand cannon is the gun for you. While most hand cannons in Destiny 2 are accurate, powerful tools of destruction, the Last Word is famed for its ability to output devastating amounts of damage up close with its incredible hip-fire speed. The Last Word itself is a returning fan-favourite from Destiny 1. As in that game, it fires faster than any other hand cannon, with faster reload and accuracy on successive hip-fire damage. You'll be able to dominate any PvP activities in the free PC game with this at your side.

If you're looking at this guide, you probably want to know how to beat the Destiny 2 Spire of the Watcher dungeon. You'll do this by ensuring these forces won't succeed in their activities by taking down Persys, Primordial Ruin. Of course, it's not that simple. Like all dungeons and raids in one of the best free PC games, this involves solving a series of puzzles while facing challenging enemies in an environment that restricts respawning. Therefore, you'll want to know as much as possible about the new Destiny 2 Spire of the Watcher dungeon before you tackle it.

Focusing on stealth, the Void Hunter is fun to play in raids, Crucible, seasonal activities, and everything else Destiny 2 has to offer. Destiny 2 overhauled Void 3.0 months ago, following it up with Solar 3.0 and Arc 3.0 upgrades. However, the Void Hunter remains practical and fun to play; it remains one of the best subclasses for Hunter mains in the popular free PC game. Using the power of Dodge and Invisibility, any Hunter can equip these setups, and you'll want to master these abilities with the Lightfall release date looming.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 6:48 AM  How do you get the Destiny 2 Lumina Exotic hand cannon? We already had a bit of an idea of how the Lumina hand cannon works thanks to the game's lore. Rose, which turns into Lumina, is the pure version of the Thorn Exotic hand cannon, which Bungie presents as being the evil and twisted version of the Rose. The Lumina's main perk is called Noble Rounds, and it works by healing and buffing your allies by, er, shooting them. The Thorn works by poisoning foes - so you can see the contrast of purity and evil at play here. While the method of acquiring such a useful weapon in the free PC game has simplified over the years, you still might be interested in the previous grind needed to put the Lumina in your Destiny 2 build.

PCGamesN Monday, February 27, 2023 6:38 AM  Looking for the best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2? The P890 is a semi-automatic pistol that excels in close-quarters firefights, and it's become an unlikely rising star in the multiplayer meta. Typically, most players flock to the assault rifles or sniper rifles before they take to the battlefield, but the P890 is a pistol that packs a punch, and that's before you add any attachments. Our best Modern Warfare 2 P890 loadout builds upon the P890's impressive handling and mobility by refining its aim down sights speed and recoil control. We've also taken steps to improve upon its bullet velocity, but just bear in mind that the effectiveness of the P890 is restricted to its close range. Regardless of its damage output, it's still a pistol, and its bullet velocity is never going to reach that of long-range weapons such as the Lachmann-762 or the TAQ-56, so be careful not to overextend yourself and exhaust your ammo. That said, we've accounted for this as well in our best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 – read on to find out more.

With the release of Catalyst, Apex Legends players now have 23 Legends to choose from when taking on the Apex Games. Each Legend has their own set of skills, playstyle, and personality, with plenty of choice for every type of player, whether you like to be aggressive, defensive, or offensive to the senses (cough – Caustic – cough). Your ideal Apex Legends pick could depend on your own strengths and weaknesses – experience, game sense, movement skills, and aim all factor in, as does your squad composition and whether you're playing with friends or a team of strangers. That said, although all the characters are relatively balanced, there are some Legends who have pulled away from the pack due to their powerful abilities, and some who are more niche, as you can see if you look at the pick rates.

A new Persona 5 Royal figure by Megahouse will highlight the revamped character design of a famed Shin Megami Tensei demon. Megahouse announced that its Persona 5 Royal Loki figure is in development and showed off photos of a production prototype. The Persona 5 Royal Loki figure is part of Megahouse's Game Characters Collection DX line. It was originally announced in concept art form back in 2022. Since then, though, the image of the actual prototype has aligned more with the Persona Loki's appearance and pose from the in-game compendium. Megahouse uploaded a video teaser for the figure on Saturday. The figure itself will stand at about 250mm tall (about 9.8 inches) and cost about 31,900 Yen (about $235 USD). Note: The Loki Persona may be a spoiler for those who have not played Persona 5 or Royal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7TpauPboaw The Persona 5 Royal Loki figure replicates the appearance of Loki, who manifests as Goro Akechi's Persona in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. Loki's angular body is covered in black and white stripes in a "dazzle" pattern. Similar to its usage in 20th-century naval warfare, the dazzle pattern disrupts Loki's outline, making his facing or features discern see at first glance. Loki also has long braided hair, and perches atop a flaming longsword. Unlike in the game, Loki's red teeth and grin is more readily visible, as is the gold cord that mimics elements of Goro's Phantom Thief costume. The Persona 5 Loki figure by Megahouse is in development, with an expected release date in January 2024. Persona 5 Royal is available on PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

When Cygames announced Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, it said that the full current roster of Versus will be available from launch. It also said that new characters would be added to the Rising roster, but didn't specify who. Now we know at least one, thanks to an announcement aired on February 25, 2023 during the 2023 Cygames Cup. The Divine General Anila joins Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising when it launches later in 2023. Cygames also uploaded a brief teaser showing off Anila in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy__NiGaKRg The teaser shows some brief shots of the Divine Generals' shrine, which serves as the nexus for New Year events in GBF proper. It then shows Anila in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising rendered in 3D, riding on one of her sheep. She then strikes a pose similar to her uncapped character art. The end of the teaser also reveals that another trailer will be uploaded on March 4, 2023. It didn't specify if the trailer will be for a new character or for Anila again. Anila is one of the Twelve Divine Generals in GBF. The Divine Generals are limited characters that are typically only available during GBF's yearly New Year celebrations. Each of the Divine Generals is themed after a sacred animal from the Chinese Zodiac. Since she was introduced in 2015, the Year of the Sheep, Anila's character design is inspired by sheep. She's voiced by Aoi Yuuki, who also played Hibiki in Symphogear, Futaba in Persona 5, and Lucy in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising is in development for PS4, PS5, and PC, and due for release in 2023. The post Anila Announced for Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising appeared first on Siliconera. |
