PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 7:07 AM  CSGO cases just set another new monthly record, with players opening 27% more cases in April than in March, likely motivated by the new Anubis CSGO skins just released by Valve.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:42 AM  You won't be able to unlock Hogwarts Legacy doors and chests for quite some time. It isn't until you come across the main story quest called 'The Caretaker's Lunar Lament' and learn Alohomora. Here, you'll properly meet Hogwarts' caretaker, Gladwin Moon. He's usually a bit of a tough geezer, but he recently has become paranoid that someone's out to torment him. Recently he came face-to-face with a Boggart, which apparated into his greatest fear: a Demiguise. Now all of a sudden, there are statues everywhere, and he wants to reveal the identity of his assailant. During this quest, Gladwin teaches you Alohomora, one of the Hogwarts Legacy spells, which unlocks both doors and chests, which in this open-world game can contain valuable gear and collectables. To get this precious spell, you first need to progress through the Hogwarts Legacy story for a fair number of hours until you get this main story quest in your log. Gladwin will teach the first level to you as part of the quest, but returning Hogwarts Legacy Demiguise Statues to him will eventually increase the spell's level to a maximum of three.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:36 AM  Is Diagon Alley in Hogwarts Legacy for your shopping needs and sword-crossing dispute negotiations? Or is the famous location omitted from the magical RPG? Well, there are certainly plenty of places to pick up your educational supplies, but these are mostly dotted around the legendary Hogsmeade in Scotland - far from the London streets in which Diagon Alley is located. The Hogwarts Legacy map might be huge, but is it big enough to extend across the UK? Floo Flame locations would give us the ability to travel between the two, but this doesn't necessarily mean the secrets of Diagon Alley are available to us in Hogwarts Legacy.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:30 AM  Is Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy? The Quidditch World Cup game released back in 2003 remains a fan favourite, so if the sport fits within the timeline of Hogwarts Legacy, its inclusion seems like a no-brainer. We know that Hogwarts Legacy is based in the 1800s - long before the events of Harry Potter. Many well-known features remain though, such as Hogwarts Legacy Floo Flames and the Hogwarts Legacy common rooms, so where does this leave Quidditch? From Harry Potter lore, we know that the earlier incarnations of the game were recorded as far back as the 11th century, with other broomstick games dated even further back than that. So, while it would technically fit into the story of the RPG game, Warner Bros has confirmed that Quidditch is not playable in Hogwarts Legacy right now.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:26 AM  Want to know how to enable Hogwarts Legacy fast travel? Finding Floo Flame locations is essential to make your life easier as you travel around the vast magical world. Sticking true to wizarding world lore, Floo Flames allow magic users to travel between locations, though it looks like they won't be restricted to classic fireplaces. The open-world game boasts a massive map, so Hogwarts Legacy fast travel will help you get around more quickly. Of course, you need to manually travel to each Floo Flame location in Hogwarts Legacy before you unlock it. Still, once you've seen them all, you can dart between the Hogwarts Legacy common rooms and Hogsmeade, from the Crossed Wands duelling club to the Forbidden Forest, or between individual Daedalian Keys and Demiguise Statues in no time.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:15 AM  Want to know if there's a Hogwarts Legacy respec mechanic available in the wizard game? After all, we all make mistakes and want a chance to reallocate points without losing any progress. It's a common feature in a lot of open-world RPG games, and would help budding witches and wizards nicely. Some of you may be asking what advantages you get if you respec in Hogwarts Legacy. Well, it's all to do with the Hogwarts Legacy talents, as allocating points to each one is a permanent action. Since there are fewer talent points than talents available in the entirety of the RPG game, you may find that you're one talent point short of upgrading your entire Hogwarts Legacy spells list, or you opted to learn the Hogwarts Legacy unforgivable curses far later on but wish to upgrade their capabilites.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:04 AM  Wondering where to find the Hogwarts Legacy Dogweed and Deathcap location? Among other things, the flower shop is needed for locating Venomous Tentacula and a Mandrake - crucial ingredients in learning the Wingardium Leviosa spell. This particular store can be tricky to find though, so we're here to help you locate Beatrice Green's plant shop. We all know how to say it - it's Wingardium Levi-oh-sa, not Wingardium Levio-sah - but how do you cast it? Well, while you don't actually need a plant to cast Hogwarts Legacy spells, heading to the Dogweed and Deathcap location in Hogwarts Legacy to collect Venomous Tentacula and a Mandrake is part of a main story quest in which you unlock the famous spell. You are only told to seek out the seeds though, and not specifically where to go to get them, so we're here to help you find Dogweed and Deathcap in Hogwarts Legacy.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:53 AM  Hogwarts Legacy companions keep you company as you study your classes in the famous school. They sit by your side as you grab a drink in Hogsmeade and fight with you when taking on the dark wizards and terrifying evil of the wizarding world. Your companions aren't defined by your house either, as you make friends with each of these characters for their individual story development. Hogwarts Legacy has an astounding amount of stuff to do. The huge, open-world Hogwarts Legacy map looks gorgeous, and the attention to detail that has gone into designing the world can be seen from the landscapes to the common rooms and classrooms. There are loads of Hogwarts Legacy characters to get to know as well, and that's where the Hogwarts Legacy companions come in, as four fellow students are particularly crucial to your time in the RPG game.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:56 AM  Hunting for the Hogwarts Legacy Magic Neep location? The Hogsmeade shop is a bit tricky to locate, but you'll need to visit the greengrocer for all your magical neep and tatty needs - I mean, to complete the Welcome to Hogsmeade task at the start of your story. You'll even get some free supplies for your efforts. The Magic Neep is a bit out of the way and isn't located near other shops in the area, so if you're struggling to find the shop selling plants and seeds on the vast Hogwarts Legacy map, we've highlighted it for you below. The Magic Neep and your first trip to Hogsmeade in Hogwarts Legacy just marks the beginning of your massive magical journey.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:39 AM  Trying to catch the Hogwarts Legacy flying pages? You may have seen them slowly flapping their papery wings across the many rooms of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and other areas of the Harry Potter game. These are field guide pages, just like those hidden next to landmarks or from empty paintings, only far easier to obtain. Getting the Hogwarts Legacy flying pages, along with the Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages, gives you little experience but nothing else to contribute to completing the Hogwarts Legacy challenges. These Hogwarts Legacy field guide pages are worth picking up when you see them get that little extra boost, as level-ups give you additional health. So therein lies the big question: how? Chances are you've seen them early in the open-world game and attempted to use the basic projectile spell to knock them down. All this does is knock them around, but they remain airborne. You need to learn one of the Hogwarts Legacy spells from your teachers before you can pluck them from the sky.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:32 AM  Want to know how the Hogwarts Legacy sorting hat works? The Sorting process is one of the most important factors as you start your new life at the Wizarding School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans of the franchise will remember Harry Potter pleading with the sorting hat not to place him in Slytherin, and was instead placed into the Gryffindor house alongside his new friends - Ron and Hermione. So, can you do the same in Hogwarts Legacy? It turns out you can, actually. Unlike the brutal Wizarding World sorting quiz, which has multiple questions, in Hogwarts Legacy, you just have to answer two - and even then your placement isn't set in stone. If you have already completed the Pottermore quiz and want to keep the same house though, still make sure you import your house and wand to Hogwarts Legacy, as you will earn exclusive in-game items. If not, read on to find out how to be placed in the best Hogwarts Legacy house during the Hogwarts Legacy Sorting Hat quiz.

When you reach Ollivander's on your inaugural trip to Hogsmeade with either Natsai Onai or Sebastian Sallow, you need to talk to the shopkeeper to begin the process of designing your magic stick of choice. But the big question is, what is the best wand in Hogwarts Legacy? It's the tool you'll be using to cast all your spells throughout the Hogwarts Legacy map during your time with the open-world game, so making the right choice is essential.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:03 AM  You don't need any old virtual private network: you need the best VPN possible because, in our modern times, it seems like all the world's massive corporations are queuing up for their chance to leer through the digital peephole at all of your private data. Thankfully, as our internet privacy has eroded more and more over the years, the best VPN services have risen to challenge the invasive nature of certain algorithms and cookies. Nowadays, if you're looking for a VPN provider, you're almost spoiled for choice, with so many options and each of them providing a slightly different package. Deciding which to use might even be overwhelming. If you're struggling to figure out which one will be best for you, you've come to the right place. We give ExpressVPN our highest recommendation for reasons we'll get into below, and we've got ten other top picks for you too, including the best cheap VPN, the best free VPN, and many others.

PCGamesN Thursday, May 4, 2023 5:19 AM  The best VPN for gaming will help to completely revolutionise your experience in games like Call of Duty: Warzone, FIFA, and League of Legends. They can help to reduce ping, give you access to easier lobbies, improve download speeds, protect you from DDoS attacks, give you access to regional exclusive content, and much more. While virtual private networks are known to slightly lower download speeds, that's not always the case. Internet service providers often throttle your speeds when you engage in bandwidth-heavy activities such as gaming, but since the best gaming VPN hides what you're doing from prying eyes, ISPs are none the wiser when you're connected to one. They also keep your IP address private, which is an important step towards maintaining your internet anonymity. Not all VPNs are built equally, however, and free VPN services just don't cut it. Fortunately, you can offset the cost of the subscription by using the VPN to hunt for better deals on games that are cheaper in other regions. You'll get more for your money if you subscribe in bulk, as a year costs less overall than the monthly subscription - and if you're still not convinced, you can try them out no-strings attached, as some of them have a VPN free trial.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:57 AM  The Pokéverse continues to spread onto the PC route this summer with an updated digital version of the trading card game.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, May 4, 2023 6:24 AM  As you might expect from a roster of 12 Marvel superheroes (or 17, if you count the four extra DLC supes and its original, player-designed protagonist The Hunter), the lycra-clad buds of Marvel's Midnight Suns all look and feel substantially different from one another when it comes to combat. When Firaxis were designing the moveset for each hero, creative director Jake Solomon says he and fellow lead game designer Joe Weinhoffer would take turns being "point designers" for certain characters. "Joe was point designer on one hero, I was point designer on another hero," Solomon says, highlighting Magic and Iron Man as two of his own favourite heroes that he designed. Both are what I'd call quite technical heroes, with Magic relying on careful battlefield placement to boot enemies into nifty magical portals, while Iron Man's most powerful abilities often only come from discarding other cards. But when I ask Solomon at GDC if he thinks he has a particular design 'style' that unites his crop of Marvel heroes, he says he loves being "bombastic". |
