PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 9:26 AM  I was hopeful when I first booted up Respawn's Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Four years after Fallen Order's release, the games industry has made incredible strides in gaming accessibility, progressing far beyond the most basic expectations, such as subtitles and toggle settings. Respawn's parent company, EA, is a proactive contributor to this progress, having shared its patented accessibility-centered technology for others to use free of charge. I'm even Twitter mutuals with incredible EA developers who are constantly pushing boundaries to include more disabled gamers in their playerbase than ever before.

PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 9:19 AM  Ashava the Pestilent, the Diablo 4 beta world boss, is by far and away the toughest challenge in the server slam. This pestilent demon effortlessly steals the lives of wayward adventurers using its scythed talons – but you won't find her lurking at the end of a dungeon. Instead, Ashava's hellish portal only appears at set times. She's easy to miss, but we're here to help ensure you both locate and beat her within her set spawn times. While there will undoubtedly be a whole host of Diablo 4 world bosses to take on once we're able to fully explore the open-world game upon its release date, there's currently only one world boss that you can expect to encounter in the Diablo 4 server slam. Here's the lowdown on Ashava the Pestilent's location and spawn times, so you can find and beat one of the toughest world bosses in what may be one of the best PC games of this year.

PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 8:26 AM  May 12, 2023: We checked for new Shinobi Life 2 codes ahead of the weekend. What are the new Shinobi Life 2 codes? Shinobi Life 2, which was formerly known as Shindo Life, is among the most popular gacha games on the Roblox platform thanks to its lightning-fast action, wealth of unlockables, and Naruto-like vibes. Developer RellGames is also an extremely active creator, delivering a tight weekly update schedule and serving up regular codes for rellcoins, spins, double XP, and more. If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you'd be wise to make use of our codes list down below, which we update on a regular basis to bring you the latest rewards before they're gone for good. We'll also explain how to redeem Shinobi Life 2 codes (spoiler: it's a whole lot like redeeming Shindo Life codes), when you can expect new codes to arrive, and the platforms where they're most likely to drop. If you're in the market for further Roblox freebies, we also keep a regularly updated list of Roblox promo codes for some of the best Roblox games in 2023.

The code is appearing for some users ahead of the Server Slam this weekend, and displays with the text "Unable to find a valid license". So what does this mean, and how do you fix it? We've done some digging, and found out just why you're seeing this code. Players are readying up to hit the Diablo 4 servers hard this weekend, as the final beta before the Diablo 4 release date launches on PC and console. We all know that this comes with its fair share of issues with an abundance of crashes and error codes expected, as the point in a server slam is to iron out any of these issues before release. One of these Diablo 4 error codes is 315306: "Unable to find valid license", but this is actually one of the most simple errors you might see in the game, with a very easy 'fix'.

PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 7:36 AM  What are the new Genshin Impact codes? Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind. While you can earn Mora and Primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, developer Hoyoverse occasionally sends out free gifts in the form of a Genshin redeem code. Most codes only work for a limited time - and they grant essential goodies like free Primogems and Mora - so it's a great idea to redeem them as soon as possible to avoid missing out. Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in Hoyoverse's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the free PC game, but they can also drop to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events.

PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 7:51 AM  Wondering how the Diablo 4 skill tree works? The Diablo 4 release date is getting closer, so you may want to learn more about how the class skill trees will work when the dungeon crawling role playing game finally arrives. To make the most out of the skill tree system, you can follow our Diablo 4 classes guide, where we've dug deep to help you decide the best class to play. Although the options of abilities you find for each of them are fixed, new additions to the game are going to be constantly made in order to revitalize the players' experience and balance the builds, according to Blizzard's dev update blog. Blizzard is "currently aiming for 30-40% of the nodes filled in for endgame, so that players can have very distinct, and different ways they build out their character." It looks like we can expect an increased emphasis on choosing particular skill branches to explore when customising our character, in contrast to building characters around powerful items and equipment. Here's how the skill tree will work in Diablo 4. Continue reading Diablo 4 skill trees explained |
PCGamesN Friday, May 12, 2023 7:29 AM  Looking for Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favourite TikTok songs in games with your friends. So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out. In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in May 2023.

From the all-time greats that are still worth playing; the sims with modding communities who breathe eternal life into them; the facsimiles of an aspect of reality so niche you can barely fathom their existence, we have everything you need here.

One of the confirmed features of Diablo 4 is transmog, also known as transmogrification, meaning players can alter their appearance using different sets of equipment. An abundance of clothing and gear will be open to customisation, ensuring players appear as the deadliest of warriors. The transmog feature helps players achieve such splendour without losing any hard-earned stats. Before we get into it, it's worth noting that all of the information in this guide has been taken from Diablo 4's beta weekends. We will update our guide following the RPG game's full launch if things change. For now, let's get into it.

We played the Sorcerer in the last beta, and it was clear to us that a combination of powerful Shock skills could take hordes of enemies down with ease, as these lightning hurling spells deal incredible amounts of damage. These skills have been nerfed slightly ahead of the Server Slam, but they still make up most of the best Sorcerer build. With excitement for the upcoming game ramping up already ahead of the Diablo 4 release date, the Server Slam gives Diablo fans one more chance to go to hell early.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, May 12, 2023 8:00 AM  Tunic developer Andrew Shouldice has made no secret about his love of The Legend Of Zelda over the years. He's not only spoken at length about how playing the original pair of Zelda games on the NES provided ample inspiration for his crafty hack and slasher, but you can also see it right there in the game itself, from your fox hero's bright green outfit to the beautifully illustrated in-game manual you piece together to unravel the world's mysteries. But speaking with Shouldice at GDC this year, I wanted to talk to him another other potential source of inspiration. Before he struck out on his own to make Tunic, Shouldice cut his teeth making hidden object games, ranging from globe-trotting mystery adventures to Atlantean-themed detective stories. On paper, this earlier work would appear to provide the perfect proving ground for Tunic, as we all know by now that it holds plenty of secrets of its own. For Shouldice, though, it was more of a reaction against his earlier work that fuelled his approach to Tunic, as he gradually came to realise his hidden object games "weren't tapping into this very specific type of mystery and discovery and player agency and true exploration that I was interested in," he says. |

Next, here's the ninja dog minion walking around Yoshida's character in Final Fantasy XIV.
People can expect to see multiple new animals after the update. When going over things to come, Yoshida and Foxclon also shared that more will appear at the Island Sanctuary. People will also be able to grow new crops and place outdoor furnishings. Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available on PC, PS4, and PS5, and patch 6.4 will release on May 23, 2023.

As part of the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXVII, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio "Foxclon" Murouchi went over Island Sanctuary updates. As expected, there will be a number of typical additions. For example, you can build new structures, grow new crops, raise more animals, have more isleworks handicrafts, gather from more places, and earn new rewards as you do things like go through new Sanctuary Ranks and Visions. However, there will also be new display options. Most notably, the Final Fantasy XIV Island Sanctuary will support outdoor furnishings. The outdoor furnishings support is probably the biggest Final Fantasy XIV Island Sanctuary change. You can have up to 90 places for items. You won't have access to all 90 right away. These need to be earned via playing. You can place them anywhere, even near a structure like a house. However, you can't place a garden or striking dummy. The update also went over additional furnishing glamours as well. Doing so binds them to you and your character. These can be dyed as well. One item can have a single glamour. The final point in this discussion's slide also noted, "Island prisms may be used to register furnishings, allowing you to place them even when not held in your inventory." As for other 6.4 updates to the Final Fantasy XIV Island Sanctuary beyond outdoor furnishings, you can expect more of the following:

Once Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXVII got going, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio "Foxclon" Murouchi offered more specific details about various additions and changes. Among these were updates about Dungeons and Raids. Specifically, they showed off some of the FFXIV Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Raid and went over the Savage reward changes coming in patch 6.4. The FFXIV Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Savage Raid reward changes all have to do with treasure coffers and the Mythos exchange. In terms of the treasures, you will see less if people completed the Duty before. The announcement noted that if over five people already did it, then you don't get anything. However, if only between one and four of the players did, then you will still get rewards. There will just be fewer than usual. The slide going over things said that one treasure offer will appear at the end. Yoshida and Foxclon's slide also noted the following two exact changes:
The updated Mythos exchange rate can also be seen in the following slide from the showcase. Finally, here's the video clip showing part of the FFXIV Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Raid. It also briefly came up during the official 6.4 trailer.
