PCGamesN Thursday, June 15, 2023 6:25 PM  Is there a Diablo 4 cow level? Of course you want to fight The Cow King and his bovine minions, but has this joke gone too far, or not far enough? The cow level originated from a joke that spread across the internet from the original Diablo game. There were rumours of a secret cow level, but it was just all made up. The joke became so widely known, that the developers added in a secret cow level where players could fight Hell Bovines, and this joke continues into Diablo 3, though in a slightly different form. While there's plenty to do in Diablo 4 from collecting Diablo 4 unique item and fighting all the Diablo 4 world bosses, finding the hidden cow level seems to be on everyone's mind.

But there's undoubtedly a little delight in there, the sweet sense of Schadenfreude that at least it didn't happen to you.

After weeks of speculation, Valve has peeled back the curtain on its hotly anticipated FPS that has been under development for three years. Counter-Strike 2 is a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, reusing a number of important elements that fans know and love such as CSGO console commands and the CSGO ranks system.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 15, 2023 12:27 PM  Want to know what Genshin Impact outfits are available? The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes. As Genshin Impact characters are locked behind gacha mechanics in the free PC game, players were initially worried that skins may be sold using the same system. However, there are actually two methods to unlock skins: purchase the skin for 1,680 Genesis Crystals, or complete specific Genshin Impact events to unlock the skin for free. If you're unlucky enough to miss the event, free skins will make their way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, June 15, 2023 12:30 PM  Immortals Of Aveum is EA and Ascendant Studio's upcoming first-person shooter where, instead of propelling metal at high speeds, you're slinging magic with your hands. We got another good look at said magic slinging at this year's Summer Game Fest, which has seemingly resulted in several reports of it being like a wizardy Call Of Duty. But having played a 30 minute demo of it this week, I reckon it's nothing like COD at all, really. Instead, it's more like Doom / your other retro shooter of choice, but one that carries itself with a frightening seriousness. Sometimes, that's fine. There have been plenty of these smaller sorts of blockbusters that have successfully struck the right balance of silly to serious, with the best ascending to a place of endearment. But so far, Immortals Of Aveum hasn't filled me with hope that it'll join the likes of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, or like, The Darkness, as a twinkling beacon of silly fun. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, June 15, 2023 12:26 PM  I'm sure that describing Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor as a mix of Deep Rock Galactic and Vampire Survivors sounds like it's betraying a terminal lack of imagination. But, come on, look at it. It's a top-down autoshooter/bullet heaven where defeated beasties drop XP blobs that fuel an escalating series of weapon and stat upgrades, playing out in the whimsical sci-fi/fantasy/corporate nightmare universe inhabited by DRG's dwarves. "It's a mix of Deep Rock Galactic and Vampire Survivors" is the most apt and succinct description that currently or will ever exist for it. So there. And yet, being derivative doesn't always preclude the opportunity for bloody good fun. I've played just over three hours of a very early Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor build, and while it's both missing some parts and could benefit from the odd tweak, it's already capable of pumping out dopamine as efficiently as any established VampSurvs-alike. |

Good Smile Company and Phat will release a Pop Up Parade figure of Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 1.2 Reload wearing a Monomi hoodie. The hoodie is half white and half pink, much like the bunny herself. This Chiaki figure will be available for pre-order until July 13, 2023. She'll cost 5500 JPY and come out in October 2023 in Japan. Meanwhile, she'll cost $39.99 and come out in Q4 2023 for North America. As a Pop Up Parade figure, the Chiaki Nanami Monomi Hoodie Version figure will stand at around 17 to 18 centimeters in height. You also cannot change her pose. In this one, she's standing on one foot (necessitating a stand) as if she's falling over. She's holding an Atari Jaguar controller in her hands. It seems like this figure will come with a little Monomi. Here are some more pictures of the Chiaki Nanami Monomi Hoodie Version figure: [gallery columns="5" ids="968435,968436,968437,968438,968439" link="file"] Since she is the heroine of Danganronpa 2, it may not be surprising that she is a popular character for companies to make figures for. Good Smile Company alone announced two other figures of her recently. She will get a Nendoroid as well as a 1/4 scale figure. The scale figure dresses her up in a black bunny outfit.

According to an interview with Game Informer, Shu Takumi of Capcom stated that it would be difficult for Ghost Trick to get a sequel. This is due to the fact that Sissel's story concluded in this game. However, the idea of ghost powers may lead to more adventures down the line. [Thanks, Game Informer!] In Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the player takes on the role of Sissel, an amnesiac ghost who has to figure out his own death within twenty-four hours. He is capable of a number of powers, such as manipulating objects around him or traveling back in time. Sissel's story completely ends over the course of the game. So a second game based on him might prove difficult even if there is keen interest around it. Takumi does hint in the interview that if enough people play the game, Capcom may consider writing a Ghost Trick sequel, which might introduce another protagonist. Other parts from the interview included tidbits from the game's development. For example, he revealed that the visuals of the game used 3D models that were animated, rendered into pixel art, and then displayed as 2D animation. Because Capcom used this method to create the models in 2010, they could create high-definition models for the modern ports. 90% of the animation in Ghost Trick is hand-animated as well. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective originally came out on the Nintendo DS in 2010. It will appear on the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC on June 30, 2023. You can read our preview of the PC version now. The post Ghost Trick Sequel Could be "Difficult" appeared first on Siliconera. |

Valve released a major update for Steam on desktop. It already rolled out to all users, following a period of beta testing. The update brings a major overhaul to the app, bringing its codebase more in line with the Big Picture and Steam Deck versions of Steam. While the biggest changes will be noticed on desktop, some of the new features will also appear on Steam Deck. Valve's new Steam update gave the whole app a visual overhaul. Fonts, menus and colors have all been adjusted. It's not a drastic change, however, with most of the changes being tweaks to the previous UI. The biggest visual changes in this update are visible in the Steam in-game overlay. It has a lot more customization options, allowing users to pick the features they're more likely to need. A toolbar allows user to pick these features, including their friends list, achievements and more. A new feature for the overlay has been rolled out too, providing users with a notepad tied to the game they're playing. To make the notes feature more useful, windows can now be pinned to the screen during gameplay. Transparency and position of the windows is fully customizable. It's the latest major update to Steam since a previous update to the mobile versions in October 2022. The new Steam update has been rolled out to all desktop users now.

Jack Jeanne is an unusual kind of Switch otome game, as pursuing character routes isn't as easy as just picking correct answers to arrive at an ending. That's because this is also a stat-building games with rhythm elements. Now, it isn't as demanding an otome as one of the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side installments, where you might need certain parameters to fall into different areas. So when you're going for a love interest's route, you need to get the stat associated with them to a certain level and get certain award levels for performances based on your dance and singing rhythm game sections. How do I get the three kinds of character route endings in Jack JeanneOkay, so like I mentioned before, you need to get the associated stat to a certain level and typically get a certain place finish for performances in order to get an ending for the love interests in the game. Your best ending, which involves a post-credits epilogue, means you need to reach level 30 in the stat tied to them, spend time with them on weekends to increase the affection, make correct choices during story scenes that boost their affections, and ideally get S or SS-ranks on the songs. (Since you don't also need to play songs on a certain difficulty for the rhythm games, you can go with the easiest option.) So for the best ending, here's what I found after going for Suzu Orimaki first.
It is possibly they could be more lenient about the performance ranks, but that's what I went with. In this case, I had a save file before I hit 30 Spirit and went into the finale with a lower stat and only get his good ending. So if you want the good end, keep your stat for the character below 30, but do well in performances. I was more lax when going for Soshiro Yonaga and playing through the harder song numbers on higher difficulty. From what I saw there, where I had Insight at level 25 on purpose, I only got second place and earned his normal ending. Here's the full list of which activity goes with each character in the game.
Finally, you don't need to worry about "unlocking" any of those romantic endings in Jack Jeanne. You can pursue any love interest in any order. The Jack Jeanne rhythm otome game is available for the Nintendo Switch worldwide. The post How to Get Good Jack Jeanne Character Route Endings appeared first on Siliconera. |

In terms of net income, that would be $16.1 billion CNY (which would convert to $2.257 billion USD. This means that in 2022, HoYoVerse made more money than AAA companies such as Ubisoft and Capcom. [Thanks, 4Gamer!] Since HoYoVerse is an indie company, it does not need to disclose its profits. However, thanks to its appearance on Chinese state-owned media Guangming Daily's list of top-earning Chinese companies, we now know how much revenue HoYoVerse raked in for 2022. As an aside, the term "indie company" may draw to mind small companies with only a few people. But since HoYoVerse, or miHoYo, is not publicly owned, it counts as one. While HoYoVerse had raked in quite the profits, it was still not the most profitable gaming company in 2022. Here are the rankings for profit in 2022 (courtesy of 4Gamer):
HoYoVerse's strong sales likely come from its major hits such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Genshin Impact is readily available on mobile devices, PS4, PS5, and Windows PC. Honkai: Star Rail is also available on mobile devices and PC, but its PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
