PCGamesN Wednesday, May 31, 2023 11:43 AM  Historical Total War is in an odd place. Three Kingdoms was far more fantastical than its predecessors, with its superhuman characters and their Wuxia-style duels, and its DLC plan met a sudden and mysterious end despite it being the fastest-selling Total War game at launch. Set aside three 'Saga' games (though Attila wasn't officially labeled as such), and a purist might argue we haven't had a 'proper' historical Total War since Rome II. And now here's Total War: Pharaoh, a new game set in a new historical period, and conspicuously lacking the 'Saga' designation - though it would seem to fit quite well.

Now that Microsoft owns Bethesda and all of its properties, this acquisition opens up some interesting possibilities for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Specifically, will Bethesda's upcoming open-world space game Starfield be coming to Game Pass? The good news is yes, it is. The better news is that the Starfield game pass debut has been confirmed for day one, meaning you can play the new RPG game straight away as part of your subscription. Since Microsoft owns Bethesda, once the Starfield release date rolls by, and it's added to Game Pass, it's unlikely to ever leave, unlike plenty of third-party offerings which rotate out of the service eventually. Just in case you're someone who is a stickler for the facts, you can go to the official Starfield splash page for all the confirmation you seek. The only potential wiggle room that exists right now is that Starfield is coming to 'Xbox Game Pass', which could be considered a separate thing from 'PC Game Pass'.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 31, 2023 12:00 PM  If you woke up in a mysterious mansion, with no memory of how you got there and only a walkie-talkie and a bunch of security cameras for company, how d'you reckon you'd handle it? Personally I know, sure as eggs is eggs, that I would absolutely go to pieces. I'm not hitting the end credits of The Tartarus Key in real life, but fortunately, it's a nails thriller puzzle game that fuses PS1-style retro graphics with Saw-esque murder traps. Plus, you know, it's only about six hours end to end, which isn't bad for a semi-magical kidnap plot. In this situation I am not me, of course, but Alex Young, and Alex upon escaping a locked study (an easy warm-up puzzle involving postcards) she finds and frees Torres, an ex-cop turned private detective, who sets up a base of operations around the mysterious mansions main fireplace. From there game's rhythm is clearing the different wings of the house by completing increasingly difficult puzzle rooms, each eventually culminating in finding a new person to save from a new death trap - concocting the antidote for poison or following the instructions to get through an electrocuted floor maze. It's an odd group, but if you rescue everyone you start to see the edges of a wider story. There's a nice layering of paranoia, because most of the puzzles have an element of, for want of a better word, magic to them. One of the very first sees you tasked with getting an academic out of a living flesh-blob, and failure results in it and him vanishing into nowhere. You also find an underground lab with notes on scientific experiments, and a holding cell slash testing chamber - but given that next door is a giant meat freezer sokoban, is it not the case that the lab is just another puzzle room set? The low-poly, low-draw distance style of everything really adds to this, and you keep suspecting that some new puzzle or trap or maybe a weird murderer is going to suddenly loom out of the darkness in front of you. It's the kind of head melting I haven't had since playing Old Gods Rising. |

Yeah, sure the Aardman films are whimsical and fun, but have you seen those early Wallace and Gromit shorts? There's something kind of unsettling about the odd shape of Wallace's uneven head and I've always deeply hated that you can sometimes see the subtle lines of a thumb imprint on parts of his face, like he's been smothered inbetween the pads of two giant fingers. It's so uncomfortable - and don't even get me started on that monster Morph. Ever since I first spotted the creepy Twitter gifs of claymation game Elation For The Wonder Box 6000, I've felt that same discomfort in the pit of my stomach. It's not out yet, or even has a confirmed release date, but I just need people to witness this game. Like, just clicking through the screenshots make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. It's awful, and wonderful. You can watch the trailer below. The bit where the lumps of clay wriggle inside the gun's bullet chambers goes through me. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 31, 2023 11:30 AM  One of my absolute favourite elements of Citizen Sleeper is how you essentially play as a nobody. When we first meet the Sleeper they've had their memories completely erased; the last thing they remember is stuffing themselves into a cargo container and shooting off into the depths of space - a last resort in wanting to escape the clutches of a scary corporation. They now find themselves on a dishevelled space station called Erlin's Eye, desperate and alone. They're essentially an empty shell, and one which you can etch your own story onto. But it's not their lack of personal identity that makes the Sleeper a nobody (after all, you essentially forge an identity for them as you make decisions throughout the game). It's the realisation that, in this vast universe that developer Gareth Damian Martin has written, you're no one. A single grain of sand in a vast desert. No one knows who you are, no one cares about you, and you're stuck on a lawless space station, helpless, scared, and dying. |

Do you want to make a sequel?" It's a question you could imagine being posed to Ken Levine, or Warren Spector, or several other notable designers who could reasonably lay claim to the legacy of Looking Glass and Irrational's legendary immersive sims. Instead, it was asked of Stephen Kick - at the time, a recently unemployed videogame artist holidaying in a Guatemalan hostel. Up until that point, Kick had dedicated his life to creative pursuits. He had no business background, and none of the acumen required to understand contracts or negotiate licensing fees. More to the point, he had no more than $5,000 to his name. Hardly the foundation for a follow-up to two of the most acclaimed PC games of all time. |

Nonetheless, Nightdive Studio's System Shock remake stays resolutely faithful to the Looking Glass original even when giving it a modern 3D makeover, with a retro flourish in its intentionally pixellated textures.

As part of its MegaHobby Plus 2023 Early Summer announcements, MegaHouse revealed some of its Oshi no Ko figures and keychains. We already knew about the Look Up figures of Aqua and Kana, though this is our first official peek at their unpainted prototypes. Painted prototypes of Ai and Ruby also showed up. There's no set release date for the finished figures yet. As for the keychains and Chokorin Mascot toys, we'll see those in October 2023 and January 2024. First, here are the Look Up Aqua and Kana Oshi no Ko figures. Both are in their school uniforms. While the prototypes are unpainted, their eyes are for the example photo. They'll be 110mm tall, like all entries in the line. These figures also tend to cost around ¥4,180 (~$30) each.
And here's how Ai and Ruby will look:
Next, here are the Oshi no Ko keychains in development. The six are planned to appear at the end of October 2023. They will be ¥770 (~$5.50) each. Designs include Ai with Aqua and Ruby, Ai and Ruby, Aqua and Ruby, Aqua and Kana, Ruby and MEMcho, and Aqua and Akane.
Finally, here are the Chokorin Mascot character designs. Ai, Aqua, and Ruby are in the top row, and MEMcho, Kana, and Akane are in the bottom. These will cost ¥825 (~$6) each when they launch in January 2024.
Oshi no Ko's manga is being localized by Yen Press, while the anime is streaming on HIDIVE. The post Oshi no Ko Look Up Figures, Keychains, and Chokorin Mascots Announced appeared first on Siliconera. |

Though My Hero Academia returned from a sudden hiatus in Issue #26 of Weekly Shonen Jump, it will take another break next week. We will be able to start reading it from Issue #29 so long as there is not another delay. Weekly Shonen Jump cited production issues for why My Hero Academia will go on a brief hiatus. [Thanks, Shonen Jump News!] Since 2023, the My Hero Academia mangaka Kohei Horikoshi went on several brief breaks. In March 2023, he took a break due to health reasons. The story is close to the end and this is an intensely popular series (it is one of the best-selling manga in the first half of 2023). Horikoshi's apology and his promise to "push through to the end" seem to mean that he does plan on putting in my work and hours in order to finish the series. Fans have Tweeted their worries, with several asking him to take it easy. As of the time of writing, it's unclear if My Hero Academia will continue to have a schedule slip or if Horikoshi really will push through. My Hero Academia is available in Weekly Shonen Jump and Viz has licensed the English releases. You can also watch the show on streaming services such as Crunchyroll.

Square Enix sent out the alert that FFXIV players on Chaos or Light Worlds should be ready for automatic housing demolition to begin again. On June 21, 2023, the process will resume. How this works is if players don't visit their estate in 30 days, the timer for automatic demolition will begin. People who did visit between February 9, 2023 and June 21, 2023 will see the count restart on June 21, 2023. People who didn't will have the timer pick up from where it was on February 9, 2023. Here's the full list of FFXIV Worlds that will be affected:
As a reminder, the pause on FFXIV automatic housing demolition on the Chaos and Light Worlds happened in response to the February 6, 2023 earthquake in Turkey. Those are both European Data Centers, with the worlds on them being inhabited by people in those regions. Square Enix instituted the pause so people in the region affected by the disaster wouldn't have to worry about getting online to ensure their virtual homes would be safe. It isn't uncommon for Square Enix to initiate such pauses when extenuating circumstances occur. For example, when there was a rush of players due to Endwalker's launch, the company paused it due to the level of congestion. A general pause on automatic housing demolition recently ended in January 2023. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The Chaos and Light Worlds automatic housing demolition begins again on June 21, 2023.

Bandai Namco revealed Diego Brando will be the last JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R DLC character. However, this is a different version than the one already available in the game. It is the alternate/parallel world one who will also show up in the game. There will be an official announcement on June 11, 2023, but for the moment only a teaser trailer appeared. The alternate Diego Brando from a parallel world is a spoiler character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. We don't get to see any of his moves in the teaser. There's only the confirmation that he'll appear. However, since this will follow along with what we know about the character from the original manga series, we know he'll have The World as his Stand.
With Diego Brando, the season pass is complete. This added four additional characters to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Prior to this version of Diego, Keicho Nijimura, Rudol von Stroheim, and Risotto Nero also appeared. Weather Forecast and Father Pucci (Final) also showed up as free DLC. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the other Diego Brando from Steel Ball Run is coming as DLC.

In an interview with Ascii, FFXVI producer Naoki Yoshida revealed that production on a PC port will start after the PS5 version launches. There is no concrete window for when to expect it, but he stated that development will be slow and steady. [Thanks, Ascii!] Rumors appeared in early 2023 about a PC release of FFXVI. This was due to a 2020 trailer showing that the game would come out on PC, and then a 2022 trailer talking about the 6-month PS5 exclusivity period. We took these two pieces of information to mean that the PC version of the game would come out after six months. In January 2023, Yoshida specified that the team is only focusing on the PS5 and warned against expecting the game on other platforms. Though he did not give a specific time frame for when development will start, it looks like PC players can expect to explore Valisthea some time in the distant future based on the interview. Here is exactly what Yoshida said in the Ascii interview:
Final Fantasy XVI will be the latest entry in the long-running Final Fantasy JRPG series. Like FFXV, it will be closer to an action RPG than the traditional turn-based combat. However, it will still have recurring motifs such as Chocobos, summonable monsters (Eikons), and crystals. Final Fantasy XVI will come out on the PS5 on June 22, 2023. A PC port of FFXVI will be in development some time after that date. Yoshida also states that the team wants the game to fully satisfy players on its own, and does not plan on releasing DLC unless fans ask for it.

Weekly Shonen Sunday published the results of its Heroine Grand Prix poll. In total, 275,027 people cast in their votes. This poll included characters from series that have ended, such as Magi, Hayate the Combat Butler, and Flame of Recca. Three out of the Top 10 characters originate from Detective Conan. [Thanks, Weekly Shougakukan Edition and Denfaminico Gamer!] The poll results for the Top 10 are as follows:
Two Hayate the Combat Butler characters were in the Top 30, with Nagi in 23rd place and Hinagiku in 19th. Sakura Mamiya, who is the female lead of RIN-NE was in 16th. Rumiko Takahashi, who wrote Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura, was also the mangaka for RIN-NE. Morgiana from Magi is in 25th place and Yanagi Sakoshita of Flame of Recca is 26th. The prominence of the Detective Conan characters likely has to do with the enduring popularity of the series. The ubiquitous mass appeal of the series likely means it has a broader range of people voting for it. It is a little unclear how Ayumi beat so many other heroines in the poll. Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine came out in Japan on April 14, 2023 and it is the 26th movie in the series. It made over ten billion JPY (around $71 million) in the domestic box office.

Uniqlo announced a line of shirts based on the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime. Placeholder pages are already live on the official site. They will launch sometime at the beginning of August 2023. Five designs are available, with all of them being unisex t-shirts. They will be ¥1,500 (~$10) each. Only the Japanese debut is confirmed for now, though these sorts of releases do tend to appear in Uniqlo stores worldwide. (We did see this happen with the UT Archive One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach collection.) Many of these new designs feature multiple characters from Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. Only one features a single character, and that involves Ichigo posed in front of the series' logo. Also, a number of designs feature images on the front and back. For example, the Sternritter and Thirteen Court Guards ones have the series' logo on the front and image on the full back of the shirt. Here's a closer look at all the designs: Ahead of the debut of Uniqlo's new shirts, we'll see the return of the anime. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 2 will begin on July 8, 2023. A new trailer also teased things to come for both Ichigo and Uryu. Uniqlo will begin selling its Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War shirts in August 2023 in Japan, though it hasn't confirmed if the new line for the anime will appear worldwide yet.

We now know the Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons release date. The follow-up to the series from Secret Base originally had a Summer 2023 release window. That's been pinned down to July 27, 2023. There's also a confirmation that only local co-op will be available at launch and a new trailer to see. Here's how the new Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons release date trailer. It begins by focusing on specific characters. First, we get to see Billy Lee. After that, we get to see some of Jimmy Lee's moves. It shows how they can switch between defensive and offensive positions to tag in and out of the fight. From there, we get to see the additional playable characters, who are Marian and Uncle Matin. It closes out by looking at general gameplay, such as what happens when a mission is cleared and the four gang leaders. As for the co-op options, people will be able to play with a friend in the same room at launch. Two people will be able to take part, with each one using a pair of characters. However, it seems that online multiplayer will be added before 2023 ends. The Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons release date is July 27, 2023. It will appear on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The post Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Release Date Falls in July appeared first on Siliconera. |

As part of the MegaHobby Plus 2023 Early Summer announcements, MegaHouse revealed a new Persona 4 Golden Izanagi figure. This will be a new take on Yu Narukami's signature Persona. It will be part of the Game Characters Collection DX line. However, only an unpainted prototype appeared, and there's no release date for it yet. Here's a closer look at the unpainted prototype. It will be 200mm tall, which is almost eight inches.
MegaHouse often creates figures of characters from the Persona series and their Personas. For example, earlier in 2023 it showed off the Persona 5 Royal Loki one that is also in the Game Characters Collection DX line. The Game Characters Collection DX Persona 4 Golden Izanagi figure is in development. Persona 4 is available on the PS2, while Persona 4 Golden is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and PC.

YOASOBI's "Idol," which serves as the opening for Oshi no Ko, is the first song in Oricon history to have over 20 million weekly YouTube views for six weeks in a row. In slightly simpler terms, this means that people watched the video over 20 million times every week for six weeks. It and the English version also topped multiple other Oricon rankings. [Thanks, Oricon!] For the fourth time since its release, "Idol" topped the Weekly Digital Singles Chart and Weekly Streaming Chart. It is also in first place for the Weekly Singles Chart. This is the first time in May that "Idol" has achieved this. In previous weeks, it dropped from #1 to hover at #2 and #3. The English version of "Idol" came out earlier this week but it's already the eighth most downloaded song with 6080 downloads. As of the time of writing, the music video for the Japanese version of "Idol" has over 133 million views. Meanwhile, the English version has 9.3 million. At the rate that "Idol" is going, it will likely surpass "Kaibutsu," "Racing Into the Night," and "Gunjo" as YOASOBI's most popular music video. For reference, right now, "Kaibutsu" is the most-watched video on YOASOBI's channel. Since it came out two years ago, it's accumulated over 280 million views. Oshi no Ko is available on streaming services such as HIDIVE and Netflix. The manga is in ninth place on Oricon's best-selling manga in the first half of 2023.

As one may expect, there are a couple of divergent endings in Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum. In total, there are seven endings in it, as well as several Dead Ends that result in an instant Game Over. To fully understand the story and lore of the game, you will need to go through the game multiple times. This guide will help you to see all of the endings in Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum and uncover the secret of the die Heilige family. As a warning, this guide will contain spoilers. No matter what, you will have to replay the game twice. There's one ending that you can only unlock if you don't get any of the girls' Regalias. But most of the other endings require you to have at least one. To make things easier, you can create multiple save files. You should make your first separate save as soon as you get to Fleta's Dollhouse so you can skip Egliette's section. Then, make another separate file when you reach Sub Rosa in Lisette's world. Sub Rosa is where it splits between the Platinum and Dawn/Goody Two Shoes endings. After seeing Dawn or Goody Two Shoes, make a new save file when the game prompts you to so that you can load up from Hades to get the other ending. Here are the different endings in Pocket Mirror: Goldenertraum and how to get them: Bad Ending #1: Porcelain[caption id="attachment_965678" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve the Porcelain ending, you need to lose in the final game against Greta. There are two ways to lose musical chairs. The first way is to sit down before the music ends. The second is to be too slow at pressing "A" when it ends and not get a chair. Bad Ending #2: Blindness[caption id="attachment_965679" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve the Blindness ending, you need to follow Harpae up the stairs before completing the required levels. Like with Porcelain, there are two ways to do so. The first is choosing to go with Harpae after she notices a button fell off the protagonists cardigan. The second is following Harpae up the stairs before completing the Nuit section, which is on Level III of Harpae's section. Normal Ending #1: Platinum[caption id="attachment_965680" align="aligncenter" width="768"] This is likely the first ending that players will get if playing the game normally. In order to achieve the Platinum ending, you will need to end the game with an incomplete set of Regalia. Because she never gets all of the Regalia, the protagonist never regains her memories and figures out her identity. Normal Ending #2: Dawn[caption id="attachment_965682" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve the Dawn ending, you will need to end the game with a complete set of Regalia and Enjel needs to reach the pocket mirror first. Here is how to get all three Regalia in the Pocket Mirror GoldenerTraum:
There is no canon ending in the game, but this is the closest one to being the True End. Normal Ending #3: Goody Two Shoes[caption id="attachment_965683" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve the Goody Two Shoes ending, you will need to end the game with a complete set of Regalia and you need to reach the pocket mirror before Enjel does. In order to do that, you have to start running immediately after your conversation with her. Simply hold down the Shift and Up keys while she talks to you and you will take off sprinting. ??? Ending: Witching Hour[caption id="attachment_965684" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve this ending, you have to get to the end of the game and not possess any Regalia in the end. The exception to this is Egliette's, which is necessary to completing the game. Ironically, this ending is the one that most plainly spells out the entire story even though you literally cannot collect any of the protagonist's memories to access it. ??? Ending: Shattered Delusion[caption id="attachment_965685" align="aligncenter" width="768"] In order to achieve this ending, you must be playing a NG+, which unlocks after a Normal Ending. So this one is new to GoldenerTraum. Getting this is kind of complicated. First, read A Boy's Midnight Journey in Fleta's library and then get a Blue Key. Get another Blue Key by listening to Wax Record III in Harpae's area. The final Blue Key is after the murder investigation in Harpae's section, and you can find it in the room the girl was crying in. After you obtain all three Blue Keys, go to the blue door in Dusk, which is again in Harpae's area. Keep in mind you can only have one Regalia (excluding Egliette's) for Shattered Delusion. Pocket Mirror GoldenerTraum is readily available on Windows PC. The post Here's How to Get Every Ending in Pocket Mirror GoldenerTraum appeared first on Siliconera. |

In Honkai: Star Rail, Bronya is one of the standard five-star characters who you can get in either the permanent or the event banners. As of the current version, she is one of the best supports that you can get and easily fits into any team. Even without a lot of good Relics or Light Cones, Bronya can earn a slot in your Honkai: Star Rail party due to her useful Skill and powerful Ultimate. For starters, let's quickly explain how Bronya works and what Bronya needs. Bronya's Skill removes a debuff from an ally and allows them to immediately take a turn. It also boosts their ATK by a fixed rate, which you can increase by leveling up her Trace. Her Ultimate increase the entire party's ATK and Crit DMG by a percentage of Bronya's own Crit DMG. Because Bronya's Command Trace Bonus Ability passively sets her Crit Rate at 100%, you can hard invest into Bronya's Crit DMG to take full advantage of her Ultimate. [caption id="attachment_965664" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] While Bronya can work as a perfectly fine support unit if you just level her and her Traces up, you obviously will need some good Light Cones to make the most of her. Here are some Light Cones you can consider putting on your Bronya in Honkai: Star Rail:
[caption id="attachment_965663" align="aligncenter" width="768"] When choosing Relics for Bronya, remember to give her ones that'll increase her Energy Regeneration, Speed, and Crit DMG. She really does not need anything else unless you want to turn her into an attacker. Here are the best Relics that you can put on Bronya in Honkai: Star Rail:
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on mobile devices and Windows PC. It is also in development for the PS4 and PS5. The post Bronya's Honkai: Star Rail Kit Is Compatible with All Sorts of Equipment appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 1:51 PM  There are numerous different Armor sets to collect in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. They all have unique designs, and some have special properties. One of these pieces of Armor is called the Tunic of the Depths, which has the Gloom resistance effect. Having Gloom resistance is good for when you're exploring the Depths, especially if you have the whole Depths Armor set. We'll explain how to get the Tunic of the Depths Armor piece in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom – where to find the Cap of Time The Cap of Time is part of the Hero of Time set. It goes along nicely with the Tunic of Time and the Trousers of Time. To find the Cap of Time, head to the Depths and make your way to the Sturnida Lavafalls area. This is a dangerous place. The heat rapidly saps your energy if you're not prepared.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 1:41 PM  Wartales got a whole load of hype during its early access release. Players loved the turn-based RPG mechanics that left the gameplay in the open world entirely up to them. Storylines, player development, and decisions differ on every playthrough, and the permadeath element gives each one gravitas. Interestingly, along with the obvious single-player campaign, Wartales can be enjoyed co-op with up to four teammates, completely changing how the game is played. How to play co-op in Wartales Starting a co-op game in Wartales is actually very simple and pretty much the same as starting a single-player campaign. Begin by selecting the co-op Wartales campaign from the opening menu and go through with the starting team decision menus. Once this has been done, you can invite up to three other players to join you in the game. Each player then selects who they want to control. This really only matters in the beginning stages of the game as it can be switched, and as your troop grow... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 1:12 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has an entirely new weapon system from Breath of the Wild. Now you have to build your own weapons, since the old ones decayed from the Upheaval. But what if I told you there was a place to find non-decayed weapons? These are called Pristine Weapons, and we'll explain where to find them in Tears of the Kingdom. How to get non-decayed Pristine weapons in Tears of the Kingdom Even when you Fuse decayed weapons with items to make them stronger, they don't have a ton of durability. That's why it's important to figure out where to find these Pristine weapons as early as possible in Tears of the Kingdom. The only location you can find them is in the Depths. If you notice those giant Chasms on the surface of Hyrule, those are entrances to the Depths. Once you're down there, there isn't much light, so throw as many Brightbloom seeds as you can, and unlock any Lightroot you find. Screenshot by PC Invasi... |

Blizzard has knocked it out of the park with the controller to mouse and keyboard transition, even allowing hot-swapping in the game.
