As Kotaku's resident Soulsbud, I was stoked to check out the action-Soulslike RPG Lords of the Fallen when it debuted back in mid-October, so I booted it up and immediately navigated to the settings menu. This is always my first stop when starting any game, to ensure I can actually play the thing.

     Do I need to play Alan Wake 1 before Alan Wake 2?

Should I play Alan Wake 1 before Alan Wake 2? The highly anticipated Alan Wake 2 is finally here, more than a decade after the release of the first game. The beloved, genre-bending psychological horror game has been such a long time in the making that you may have completely forgotten the events of Alan Wake, or perhaps you've never played it at all.

Whether you decide to play now or after a runthrough of Alan Wake, we can help you find the Alan Wake 2 shotgun and Alan Wake 2 crossbow location to aid you on your journey through the horror game. Before that though, can you play Alan Wake 2 without having played the original game in the series?

     Southwest Florida codes November 2023

What are the current Southwest Florida codes? In this RPG, you can become whoever you want to be. More often than not, though, the goal is to earn enough cash to buy the best ride that money can buy. Some codes will give you more than enough to afford a brand new car, while others will put you ever closer to buying your dream vehicle.

To afford this lifestyle, you'll need cold, hard cash, and with these Southwest Florida codes, you'll have plenty to spend on nice cars in this Roblox experience. Of course, there are other similar games available, so if you'd rather take to the crime-filled streets, we have all the current Da Hood codes, or if you prefer something a little more chill, then these Berry Avenue codes may help you get the best outfit.

     Modern Warfare 3 prestige system explained

What is MW3 prestige? There's only one way to show your prowess in the FPS multiplayer sphere, and it isn't the amount of kills you rack up, your crisp movement, or your comprehensive knowledge of the maps. The true measure of a soldier in Modern Warfare 3 is your prestige rank - the true marker of dedication and the little icon you can hang your hat on at the end of the day.

With the MW3 release date comes parity across all players. Each soldier is beginning their journey, all on a level playing field for perhaps the only time this year. As you level up, you'll get prestige ranks, but what exactly are prestige ranks, and how does the system work? Grab your best MW3 guns, study the MW3 maps, and get ready for the grind.

Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4 has arrived, as developer Larian Studios continues to polish one of 2023's best games to a fine sheen. With over 1,000 changes in this latest BG3 update on Steam, it's clear that the team is still hard at work on making your in-game experience even better, and as someone who is still far from done with my multiple playthroughs including a full four-player run I'm certainly happy about that.

     All Disney Dreamlight Valley codes November 2023

November 2, 2023 New codes added.

What are the latest Disney Dreamlight Valley codes? We've done some digging to make sure we've got the latest codes available from Gameloft. Codes weren't available in the Dreamlight Valley during its first few months, but with the festival of Foolishness now in swing, there are a whopping ten codes currently available, so read on to make sure you've claimed them all.

The Dreamlight Valley golden potato code was the first to come to the Disney game, and gives you just that, a golden potato. It doesn't even do anything yet, but the exciting news is that it appears to be part of a future Dreamlight Valley quest. The code might no longer available, but if you still don't have a golden potato, you can pick one up in Scrooge's shop. Other codes have since been released with various celebrations, including the Dreamlight Park community challenge and the Festival of Foolishness, for which all the Dreamlight Valley codes can be found below.

There comes a point when adding yet another behemothic RPG to your collection of unfinished, behemothic RPGs ceases to be a mark of eccentricity and becomes an act of manifest self-hatred. I, for instance, have just activated a beta code for 100-hour levelling fest Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader even as I make a mental note that really, I've got to make some proper headway in Baldur's Gate 3 this evening.

For The King 2, at least, seems pretty trim and digestible at a reported 30 hours in length. Released out of early access today, it's a blend of fantasy table-top gaming and roguelite, in which you lead a party of adventurers across a hexagonal map to quash an evil Queen in grid, dice and turn-based combat.

What kind of game does the label "survival horror" denote? Since its inconspicuous first appearance in the original Resident Evil's loading screen (functioning first and foremost, lest we forget, as a handy marketing catchphrase), the term has been so enthusiastically embraced and haphazardly applied as to be rendered almost meaningless in 2023. Horror gaming has witnessed multiple seismic shifts since 1996, most notably the turn to action-oriented design with the likes of The Suffering and Resident Evil 4 in the mid-2000s, as well as the rise of spooky almost-walking-simulators like SOMA in the mid-2010s.

Yet the term survival horror has expanded to such a degree that it now seems to stand in, albeit rather awkwardly, for the entirety of video game horror. Even with the caveat that borders for these kinds of labels are notoriously hard to define, survival horror remains an unusually amorphous realm, one that (as a quick search of the relevant tag on Steam will reveal) lays claim as much to first-person bloodbaths like Zombie Army Trilogy as it does moody, combat-free adventures like Visage. Still, old distinctions linger, and a clutch of recent indie survival horrors qualify their work with the word "classic". I interviewed some of the developers to find out why - and, more importantly, what classic survival horror means.

First there was JASON!, a martyred child whose name cracked a thousand lips, rawed a thousand throats, blistered a thousand fingers. Then came FENTON!, a hunter-trickster spirit forsaken by Christ. Perhaps next will be ROY! The upcoming first-person survival horror game Rotten Flesh will invite you to shout the name of your lost dog into your microphone, hoping that Roy will bark back to let you know where he is. Fun fact: other, nondog things will hear you shouting too. Have a peek in the announcement trailer below.

Larian have released a new Baldur's Gate 3 update, Patch 4, which applies 1000 fixes and changes to the indecently expansive fantasy RPG - far too many to list on Steam. The most significant additions are accessibility settings for colour-blind people, the ability to visually customise hirelings upon recruitment, and the ability to clean up party members using sponges and soap, rather than lobbing bottles of water at them. No more rocking up to cutscenes looking like Sweeney Todd on his lunchbreak! Well, unless that's your vibe.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC Release Date Set for December

Nintendo announced the worldwide Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC release date. It will appear on December 14, 2023.

To go along with the announcement, Nintendo also once again shared key art for the add-on. This second piece of DLC takes place at the new Blueberry Academy. We first learned about this school in the first update The Teal Mask, as that involved a trip between the players' school and that school to the island of Kitakami. While there, we met Carmine and Kieran, two students from that school, and their teacher Briar. The image also highlighted how this school focuses on battling and showed the Elite Four members Amarys, Crispin, Drayton, and Lacey. 

A few of the Pokemon in this add-on also have been teased ahead of its launch. For example, we know we'll be able to catch every starter in this new school's location. There will also be a number of old Pokemon coming back. The new Terapagos turtle-like Pokemon will show up. There will also be new Paradox Pokemon. There will also be two new Paradox Pokemon based on Cobalion (Iron Crown) and Raikou (Raging Bolt).

The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC release date is December 14, 2023. The Teal Mask add-on appeared in September 2023. The games are available on the Nintendo Switch.

More information on the updates will appear via the official website. You can also follow its social media channels. The webpage already showed some of the outfits coming in the updates. You'll be able to obtain clothing and accessories that look like butterfly wings. There will also be new glasses, hats, accessories, and dresses that give a character a slightly vintage look. The second update will come out in January 2024, which will include new ways to play the game and an event. The aforementioned butterfly wing items might come out in the second wave of free updates, since they seem to be part of the Fantasy Fair event.

XSeed (Marvelous) and Nintendo first unveiled Fashion Dreamer during the February 2023 Nintendo Direct. In this game, you work as a fashion designer and influencer. Aside from helping to glam up your clients and the random citizens in the city, you can also doll yourself up. Since you're an influencer, there's an in-game social media app that you can use to upload pictures.

Fashion Dreamer is available on the Nintendo Switch in Japan, and it'll come out in North America on November 3, 2023. There is a 10% discount for the game and the sale will last until November 20, 2023.

     Dead Island 2 Haus Locked Diner GuideAt a certain point during the main quest for Haus, you'll need to start being a little more explorative. During The Invitation, you'll need to get to a Diner to find Yong-Ho's head. The problem is that the Diner is locked and the game doesn't outright tell you how to open it. But I've got the answer here for how to unlock the Long Piglet's Diner in Dead Island 2. How to open the Diner in Dead Island 2 Haus The secret to opening the Diner in Haus in Dead Island 2 isn't so complex once you know what to do. If you take a look at the doors to the Diner, you'll notice that they're covered in a bunch of gross growths.

     Star Ocean The Second Story R Specialty FeaturedStar Ocean The Second Story R is the remake of the classic Star Ocean The Second Story, and with it comes some changes and things that remain the same. One of the things that has stayed during the remake is the classic specialty and skill system, with some tweaks. One of the earliest questions you may be asking is: How to unlock a specialty in Star Ocean The Second Story R?  Well luckily, the answer is pretty simple if you know what to do. Learning a specialty in the older Star Ocean games, like First Departure and Second Evolution, would require you to buy the set of skills you needed to be able to acquire the new specialty, but in Star Ocean The Second Story R, a lot of skills are available to you from the off, and you can't buy sets of skills from the guild anymore. So, learning specialties is becoming just that little bit easier to do. Here's our guide on how to do so. How to learn specialties in Star Ocean The Second Story R A specialty ...
