Kotaku Monday, May 22, 2023 6:55 PM  Final Fantasy XVI is the next mainline entry in the long-running RPG series and it seems to be going for a radically different tone compared to past entries. We definitely got some Game of Thrones vibes from past trailers. And in retrospect, that's not surprising, as the developers working on the game were "required"… |

PCGamesN Monday, May 22, 2023 6:58 PM  Want to know what the best Diablo 4 Druid build is? If you decide to get your grubby little paws dirty with the Druid class, you should know that this bestial class has dominion over the elements and spirit animals that join their cause. However, their main method of attack is to indulge their savage side and shift into a Werebeast to tear their demonic foes to shreds. Of all the classes in the series, they're perhaps the most underused, but Diablo 4 makes an effort to make them appealing. To stand a chance against the forces of evil, you'll need to make the best Diablo 4 Druid build. We now have a good idea of the many options for weapons, armor, and skills that will be available in the full game. Class skills can lead you in several directions, with wolves, ravens, and even plant monsters among the companions on offer. Nature also governs the Druid's magic skills, with the best of them having domain over earth, wind, and lightning elements. Here are some pointers to send you in the right direction.

PCGamesN Monday, May 22, 2023 12:38 PM  Want to know how Diablo 4 world tiers work? The Diablo 4 world tiers are essentially difficulty settings - the higher the tier, the more difficult the game is. When you create a character for the first time, you also have to pick a world tier. Diablo 4 recommends veteran fans pick world tier 2, whereas newbies should stick to world tier 1 where the enemies are easier to defeat. Playing on a higher world tier does have its advantages for playing against stronger enemies, including increased experience and additional gold for defeating monsters using Diablo 4 classes. It's important to note that the first two world tiers only apply from level 1 to 50, once you hit the Diablo 4 endgame, players can access three additional tiers upon completing specific challenges. Here's everything you need to know about Diablo 4 world tiers.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, May 22, 2023 2:30 PM  For the last six years, my Skyrim wood elf has been stuck in some godforsaken cave in goodness knows what corner of Tamriel. I don't remember why they were there, or what goal they were trying to achieve. It was just 'one of those caves' that looked cool and interesting when I came across it and I thought, 'Yeah, all right, let's have a go then, shall we?' But while other Skyrim caves I'd come across could be easily polished off in an office lunch-time - as that was often how I played Skyrim back then - this one was different somehow. It was so large and twisty, so infinitely befuddling, that I seemed to be trapped down there forever. Sure, I could have probably turned back, but I'd been down there for ages, and felt like I'd come too far to simply not see it all through to the bitter end. But the end never came, and I eventually abandoned my save as a result, whisked off by the prospect of newer, more exciting games that didn't involve trying to figure out how to escape its narrow, bioluminescent hellscape. Worse still, this disastrous feat of orienteering has now become my overriding memory of Skyrim. For all its great sidequests and its ever-increasing number of excellent mods, all I ever think about are its damn caves. Just the thought of loading up that save file again makes me grimace, and I'm starting to dread the thought of getting stuck in another one whenever the heck The Elder Scrolls 6 comes out. But I've been playing a lot of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom this past week, and cor, I'm immediately jealous of Link's Ascend ability. As part of his new slate of powers, Ascend lets him instantly woosh through almost any ceiling as long as there's a traversable bit of terrain above it. That kind of power wouldn't have been half handy for my poor old wood elf, and it's precisely what makes exploring Tears Of The Kingdom's caves so enjoyable. So if there's one thing The Elder Scrolls 6 should steal take note of, please let it be this. |

Today both models are discounted to £170, a healthy discount from their usual £240 price point and more than 50% off their UK RRP - nice. The G920 is the Xbox-oriented model, meaning it works on PC plus Xbox Series and One consoles, while the G29 is for PC plus PS4 and PS5 - so choose what's most useful to you! |

So far, Remedy have only committed to a general 2023 release for Alan Wake 2, but voice actor Matthew Porretta told the Monsters, Madness And Magic podcast that it's "supposed to come out in October". That means it should be well clear of ye olde Starfield, but that "supposed to" also suggests the date isn't set in stone yet.

Clara's "Rarely Affectionate Part 2" Companion Mission in Honkai: Star Rail is yet another that asks us, "How do you want to handle this?" This time, there's a sentient robot at stake. Once you finally get to complete the quest, your actions will determine what happens to this NPC you met in the previous game and how you want to "help" them overcome a situation involving muddled data. [gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="964432" link="file"] How do you unlock "Rarely Affectionate Part 2" in Honkai: Star Rail?Okay, so I'm not sure if my experience will apply to everyone. The original "Rarely Affectionate Part 1" quest appeared almost immediately after I finished the second Trial of the Equilibrium, hit Trailblaze Level 2, and finished the Trailblaze Mission "In the Sweltering Morning Sun." However, I didn't get a text from Clara to start "Rarely Affectionate Part 2" in Honkai: Star Rail until I'd already had the Trailblaze Mission "Sinners Misled, Credence Falsified" finished for a few days, finished the third Trial of the Equilibrium, and hit Trailblaze Level 41. So you may need to both finish all of the available Trailblaze Missions in 1.0 and finish "Trial of the Equilibrium: Part Three" first. However, it could just be that you need to finish "Sinners Misled, Credence Falsified," then wait until the new week begins to get the new text from Clara. [gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="964433" link="file"] Should Svarog reformat Pascal or should he install a lock on the core at Clara's request?Must of "Rarely Affectionate Part 2" in Honkai: Star Rail is very straightforward! You'll check in with Clara and Svarog at the Robot Settlement on Jarilo-VI. As in the first part, you'll try and find a shell for Pascal. Going to get a Direwolf one will result in a fight. Pascal will run off and end up at Rivet Town after getting the new shell. This means another fight as you head to find and save Pascal from an Automaton Grizzly robot. At this point, you'll learn more about who Pascal is and the problems their Fragmentum-contaminated components caused. This leads to a decision. Svarog wants to reformat Pascal. This means they will lose their emotional intelligence, though they will be normal and the bad sectors will be fixed. Clara wants to add a "lock" on Pascal's core alongside a "new suite of operational programs." That would ideally preserve their emotional intelligence, but the robot could still go rogue and attempt to steal from humans. If you go with Clara's option, Svarog, Clara, and the Trailblazer will head to Rivet Town. Svarog will install the programs. The next day, Clara will send a text asking if the player wants to see Pascal again. The two of them will be in Rivet Town. The new programs from Svarog are working, though they don't know how long they'll be in effect. Pascal will also have made a flower out of machine parts as a gift to remember them by. You'll get a Flower Made from Scrap Iron memento item. Choosing Svarog's option has the robot back up Pascal's data, then format them. An epilogue picks up the next day after a text from Clara. Pascal and two other robots all somehow remember the Trailblazer is and are excited to see them. Integrating Pascal into the network seems to have caused their emotions to be spread across the other robots. Regardless of which option you choose, you get 4 Condensed Aether, 60 Stellar Jade, 200 Shields, 350 Trailblaze EXP, and 20,000 Credits as a reward for finishing this quest. Clara will now also get to appear on the Astral Express as well. Honkai: Star Rail is available for PCs and mobile devices, and PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.

Epic Games revealed two new Fortnite skins related to Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse. As part of its upcoming crossover, Miles Morales and Miguel O'Hara (aka Spider-Man 2099) will appear. These new skins join a series of appearances available based on the iconic web-slinger. In addition, there will be an in-game event commemorating the movie's release. Check out the video announcement for the new Across the Spiderverse skins in Fortnite below: The teaser shows Miles jumping out of a building, with Miguel shortly appearing after him. It seems he's apparently pursuing him. This follows the Across the Spiderverse movie storyline, where Miles seems to be escaping from all the other heroes from different realities. More information about these in-game skins will be revealed at a later date. It's worth noting that Fortnite is currently running the Web Battles event, during which where players fight in teams on behalf of Miles or Miguel.

Square Enix yet again shared a brief gameplay clip to highlight certain FFXVI characters in-game, with the latest looking at Jill Warrick and Torgal. We already know Clive Rosfield knows both from when he was young. Here, we get to see how familiar the two characters also are with each other. In the clip, Jill is hugging and cuddling Torgal. The clip features both characters when they were young. This is at the point in the story when Clive was likely preparing to be the First Shield of Rosaria for Joshua. Because Jill grew up with the family as a political hostage, she was raised alongside Clive, Joshua, and Torgal.
As a reminder, we already know both Jill and Torgal will appear alongside Clive during multiple parts of his journey in FFXVI. Torgal can both attack enemies and heal Clive. Meanwhile, as noted in the preview sessions, Jill can use icy attacks due to being the Dominant of Shiva and can also heal Clive when the two are traveling together. Final Fantasy XVI will come to the PlayStation 5 on June 22, 2023. There will be a six-month exclusivity period. A demo will appear as well, and its save data can be carried over to the main game.

Only one features a design on the front and back, and that features Shinichi Kudo's knight hat on the front and Ran Mori with him above the words "Romantic Shuffle" on the back. The others feature characters like Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, Bourbon, and Shuichi Akai, as well as imagery from the series.
