Destiny 2 introduced weapon crafting into the game with The Witch Queen expansion. However, even with several quests throughout the past year designed to help train players on how to craft and reshape their favourite weapons, the process of distinguishing weapons with resonant elements, deepsight resonance, and extractable weapon patterns was still pretty confusing. It was also difficult for players to track as they embarked on their favourite activities.

PCGamesN Friday, February 10, 2023 12:36 PM  What are Destiny 2 loadouts? Coming with Lightfall, loadouts let players rapidly transition between character builds. It can be tedious to change between subclasses only to have to equip specific mods, weapons, and perks that complement that particular subclass or character objective. And, with the addition of Aspects and Fragments over the past few years, the game's buildcrafting systems have only become more complex. That's why Bungie is introducing loadouts to Destiny 2, which allow you to rapidly switch between your best Destiny 2 Hunter builds, Warlock builds, and Titan builds. Here's everything you need to know about Destiny 2 loadouts, coming to the popular FPS game with the Destiny 2 Lightfall release date and introduction of the Strand subclass.

PCGamesN Friday, February 10, 2023 12:28 PM  The Hogwarts Legacy Mandrake is just as you would expect if you're familiar with the lore of the wizarding world - or the real plant's own muggle world properties. An iconic plant baby with an ear-splitting shriek, the Mandrake is needed to complete assignments set by Herbology Professor Garlick, but can also be used in combative defence. But how do you get one, or where do you find a Mandrake? Much the same as other plants and fruits in Hogwarts Legacy, the Mandrake can be grown in the Room of Requirement, so you can always have one ready when you need them. Unlike other natural resources, though, the Mandrake isn't used in Hogwarts Legacy potions - that would be cruel - and can instead be equipped to your potion wheel itself and taken into battle, where its mind-blowing scream can be used to disarm opponents in the action-adventure game. If that's a weapon you'd like in your magical arsenal, here's where to find and how to get your own Hogwarts Legacy Mandrake.

It's also very easy to overlook, given that it's an environmental puzzle that demands you keep an eye out for esoteric clues as you explore. The Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle is found in the Viaduct Courtyard that connects the Great Hall and Library Annex, which you can locate on the Hogwarts Legacy map. It's a fairly innocuous area at first glance, but look closer and you'll see the hallmarks of a puzzle in the open-world game. What's more, solving it will net you a legendary item – you don't even need to know how to open Hogwarts Legacy locks in order to access it. Here's how to solve the Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle.

The Sons of the Forest predecessor, The Forest, had its own multiplayer mode that was, and still is, a fan-favourite experience, so will multiplayer be coming to The Forest 2? We already know that the survival game will provide you with an AI companion, Kelvin, even in single-player, and that you can befriend the gorgeous, three-legged mutant Virginia. That said, there's nothing quite like teaming up with a real-life friend when faced with the harsh surroundings awaiting you in the caves and wilderness of Sons of the Forest.

PCGamesN Friday, February 10, 2023 11:45 AM  The Sons of the Forest map will include a lot of the same features as the first game, including caves, woodland, and water. However, developer Endnight Games has revealed that the sequel's map will be four times the size of the first game, which - if you consider overground landscapes and the underground cave system - has the potential to be eight times bigger. Exploring the open-world expanse of The Forest takes some time now that the map has been expanded upon since its initial release, and traversing the wilderness following your plane crash is part of what makes the survival game that much more terrifying. Now imagine that being four times bigger, and we can expect a pretty daunting experience for Sons of the Forest (in a good way). That said, you might still want some cartographic help before your adventure begins, so here's everything we know about the Sons of the Forest map so far - including spoilers, so tread carefully if you want to go into the sequel without knowing anything.

Once you have the Hogwarts Legacy treasure map in your inventory, you will unlock the Ghost of Our Love quest.

It has a great premise, for starters - change history by meddling with your memories and playing out different versions of events to arrive at the 'correct' solution - and executes it brilliantly. Its GBA-style visuals and larger-than-life character portraits give it a real sense of charm and personality, and its mystery story of murder and corporate conspiracy had hooked me in real good. Then it abandoned its cool premise halfway through and became a different game entirely for its remaining run-time. I was heartbroken. |

Speaking pedantically, this isn't "as simple as it gets", but you'll get what I mean if I describe it that way anyway. You move and jump, dodging spikes and lasers and ISO 13370 compliant death pits, and ideally collecting all the hard to reach thingies along the way.

Just last week, Ubisoft delayed the game's imminent Season 11 launch due to localisation issues that had been "impacting the experience for many players."

A hybrid of a factory layout/logistics sim, integrated into a city builder, combined with an RTS, all wrapped up in a satirical dystopia encouraging you to be the most appalling villainous hypercapitalist possible. All of those parts are present, and as a bonus it's incredibly gorgeous, with strong voice acting and a distinctive soundtrack that will haunt my head for weeks. Most of its parts are made to a high standard, it's tragic that its final design just doesn't work at all. Of all things, IOT reminds me of Fragile Allegiance. You're a 'founder', sent to an already colonised and abandoned Titan to build a new city at the behest of the Council. You're a 'founder', sent to an already colonised and abandoned Titan to build a new city at the behest of the Council. First, by salvaging its ruined buildings for minerals and isotopes, then mining for surface deposits, all of which goes back into your building resources. Curiously, you never combine two resources to produce a third, you can only upgrade minerals through a tier system. Higher tier resources are more potent, meaning, for exmaple, a building site will accept 100 raw minerals or four higher tier units. It's a bit strange, but it mostly works. Double clicking on your starting buildings summons an interior view, where you lay out machinery, little modules for workers and storage, power pylons and so on. |

We're right in the midst of the Winter 2023 anime series, and there are some fantastic shows to watch. Old ones keep running, like My Hero Academia and One Piece. New ones pop up. But which new Winter 2023 anime shows do you consider the best? What ones are you telling people, "You need to watch this?" Let's go through some selections together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVsII3dLbWc&ab_channel=CrunchyrollCollection Yeah, it infuriates me at times, but I love everything from the animation to the music to the characters. They're all really funny, and it's such a fun and ridiculous premise that it's super easy to binge. The pacing of the show is good, too, so it never feels like you're watching a single game for weeks on end (like Haikyu or Kuroko's Basketball). I highly recommend watching Blue Lock with a friend because I felt like I was about to explode when I watched it alone. -- Stephanie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jrKwkYjhCE&t=2s&ab_channel=CrunchyrollCollection Buddy Daddies has also been a treat. Sure, it's basically Spy x Family, but I do support the prospect of every demographic eventually getting their own version of Spy x Family. -- Josh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgmHhWqoU54&ab_channel=CrunchyrollCollection The post Best Winter 2023 Anime Shows to Consider Watching appeared first on Siliconera. |

The Vtuber agency Hololive's 1st and 2nd generations have landed in a update for Holocure, the fan-made Vampire Survivors-like game by Kay Yu. Holocure pits Hololive idols against hordes of mind-controlled fans in a 2D pixel action game inspired by Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival. It originally released in June 2022, with its first major update arriving in September that year. The new update adds the Japanese branch 1st generation consisting of Natsuiro Matsuri, Aki Rosenthal, Akai Haato and Yozora Mel as well as the 2nd generation consisting of Murasaki Shion, Yuzuki Choco, Oozora Subaru, Nakiri Ayame and Minato Aqua. The game now boasts 24 characters, each with their own unique weapon and abilities, with an in-game screen teasing the inclusion of Hololive's Indonesian branch in the next update.
Though the game is not affiliated with Cover Corp. and Hololive, the lead developer Kay Yu worked with the agency before, such as on the animated music video for the song "Q" by Hololive's Gawr Gura and Calliope Mori, with music from DECO* 27. The video reached the milestone of 20 million views earlier this year. Holocure is immediately available on PC for free over on Itch.io, and its new update is live.

Good Smile Company announced it was working on an array of Chainsaw Man figures, and now two more Pop Up Parade ones of Himeno and Kobeni are on the way. Both are dressed professionally in their Public Safety Devil Hunter suits. Kobeni will appear first, debuting in Japan in June 2023 and North America in August 2023. Himeno will appear shortly after, coming to Japan in August 2023 and North America in October 2023. Each one will cost ¥4,800/$35.99. As is usual for Pop Up Parade figures, these versions of Himeno and Kobeni are non-standard size. That means they are each about six and a half inches tall. While each one is designed to look professional, they also have a casual air. As such, Himeno is pushing her hair back and Kobeni is throwing up peace signs. Here's a closer look at Himeno. And here's Kobeni. In the past, Chainsaw Man Pop Up Parade figures of Denji, Power, and Makima also appeared.

Nintendo revealed some of the Splatoon 3 Splatsville DLC characters, which include new twins Shelly and Donny and returning shopkeeper Annie with Moe. It offered screenshots of all characters in their Inkopolis shops, as well as went over what they'll offer in their locations. First, here are Shelly and Donny. They are triops. Like Timmy and Tommy to Nook in Animal Crossing, they work for and are learning from Sheldon. As such, they also run the Splatsville branch of Ammo Knights for him.
In Japan, people noticed the similarity between Shelly and Donny in Splatoon 3 and Timmy and Tommy in Animal Crossing. In Japanese, their names are Mamebukichi and Tsbubukichi, and in Japanese Timmy and Tommy are Mamekichi and Tsubukichi. You can see people referencing the twin tanuki in the replies on Twitter. Next are the Splatoon 3 versions of Annie and Moe. Annie was technically already "around," as you can buy items from her in the SplatNet app. While she has a different look, she'll still run the Cooler Heads headgear store.

In the FFVII Remake Intermission DLC episode, people can take part in a Happy Turtle Ad Campaign quest with a distinctive song. The Japanese Twitter account for the game shared both the Japanese and English versions of the jingle. The goal was to offer an opportunity for people to compare the two and hear something upbeat heading into the weekend. First, here's the Japanese version of "The Happy Turtle Jingle."
Next, here's the Global, English version of "The Happy Turtle Jingle" you can hear in FFVII Remake Intermission. The tweet for it noted that people with the Japanese version can hear it by switching to the English voice acting option. (Likewise, this applies to the Japanese version of the song.)
As a reminder, FFVII Remake Intermission's Happy Turtle Ad Campaign quest involves getting six flyers for the Wutaian bar in the Sector 7 Slums of Midgar. It references a sidequest from the original game. Completing it gets someone the Magnify materia, which lets a spell go from a single-target one to an AOE one. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The Intermission DLC is an extra episode starring Yuffie.

A new special guest from across the Fate franchise will join Fate/Grand Order's playable roster. The Fate/Grand Order 2023 Valentine's Day event will bring with it the expected array of ways to gather up chocolate. It'll also add Caren C. Hortensia of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia to the playable roster. The event kicks off in the English edition of FGO on February 13, 2023, and runs through February 26, 2023. The Fate/Grand Order 2023 Valentine's event is formally titled Saint Valentino! Chaldea Bitter Valentine's 2023. It'll have the Masters of Chaldea beating back an invasion of Shadow Servants into Chaldea, and gathering "God Love Points" for their trouble. Netting more God Love Points grants escalating rewards, including character progression materials and Command Codes. They'll also earn Valentine's Chocolate they can redeem to get gifts from their female Servants. Trading in a Valentine's Chocolate will trigger a special, fully-voiced cutscene showing a female Servant gifting their Master with a unique Craft Essence for Valentine's Day. The premium Summoning banner will add Caren C. Hortensia to the roster as a limited-availability 5-Star Ruler-class Servant. In gameplay, Caren emphasizes the Quick element, and specializes in supporting the party, while also doing damage with her Noble Phantasm. Caren first appeared as the heroine character in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, a sequel to Fate/Stay night released in 2005. Set months after the conclusion of Fate/Stay Night, the story of Hollow Ataraxia favored a lighter tone, focusing on daily life scenes featuring Shirou and the core Fate/Stay Night cast. It also debuted characters like Bazett, Caren, and the first Avenger-class Servant in the franchise (who appears in Fate/Grand Order as Anra Mainiiu). Check out Caren's Noble Phantasm below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slKYxcMBUqA Besides Caren, the summoning banners for the Fate/Grand Order 2023 Valentine's event will rotate through certain female and select non-binary Servants. These include Lancer Altria, Quetzalcoatl, Sitonai, Enkidu, the Dioscuri, and more. Fate/Grand Order is available on iOS and Android devices. The event will run from February 13-26, 2023.

Nippon Ichi Software knows how to twist the formula of a genre, no matter if it's an SRPG or a first person dungeon crawler. It established this with Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk in 2018. The game completely flew under the radar when it came out, for myself included. It would be a real shame if the same happened with its sequel, Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, as the game features truly interesting twists on the first person dungeon crawler formula. Labyrinth of Galleria follows Eureka de Soleil, a cheerful girl who accepted a job at Galleria Manor. Eureka is tasked by Count Bismont, the owner of the manor, in assisting Madame Marta, a witch under her employment. Eureka and Marta summon Fantie, a spirit attached to the Lanterne de Fantasmagorie, and the role the player fills. Your mission as Fantie is to collect the nine Curios d'art from the labyrinth below Galleria Manor, which are nine extremely rare magical artifacts. This is where the twist comes in. Humans can't go into the Labyrinth, as the entrance is a Man-eating Wardrobe that kills anyone that dares to try to leave. The solution is simple. Create magical puppet soldiers, called Manania, that will explore and fight for you. Character creation can be as easy or as complex as you want it to be. The game initially offers six different classes or Facets, such as Aster Crow, Shinomashira, Theatrical Star, Peer Fortress, Wonder Corsair, or Rapid Venator, but these options expand as you play. Each Facet fulfills a particular role as DPS, stunner, support, tank, or jack of all trades. You can only create three characters at the beginning, and you'll be stuck with a max party of five for roughly the first ten hours of gameplay. Having your choices limited early on can can feel intimidating! However, the game does a great job of introducing plenty of important tutorials that can be revisited from the pause menu. I found this very accommodating, as the early hours of the game can be tough if you go where you're not supposed to, something very likely to happen due to the open nature of the labyrinth.
On the topic of exploration, the labyrinth and its subsections work as you would expect, with corridors, rooms, and branching paths that can lead to either treasure or ambushes, and eventually progressing further down. You will sometimes encounter a particular area with a gimmick, such as unbreakable walls, or underwater sections where you need to manage your oxygen to keep your party from drowning. Enemies appear in the labyrinth as floating orbs that you can make contact with to initiate combat. Combat can be hit or miss, as you will often be defaulting to simple attack or auto-battle for regular encounters. Bosses are the main highlight. A balanced party and the use of Donums, this game's equivalent to magic or skills, is key to solve these encounters. At around the 10-hour mark, the game introduces Pacts. These are particular formations that allow for more than one party member to join a Coven, with a maximum of five Coven slots. This means that you can eventually have a party of up to fifteen characters, three per Coven. However, to achieve a balanced party, the average team will be of around ten characters in different roles and different Pacts.
Donum are an interesting twist to a magic or skill system. They are not very straightforward, as far as skills go, as these depend on the Pact a Coven is using. This means that you have to be extra careful in putting your magic users in a Pact with its corresponding magic Donum, and your tanks in a Pact with Donum that increase defense and create aggro. Eventually, you will be able to transfer Donums between Pacts, adding a lot more of decision making to the mix. Liberation skills are special Donum that unleash a special ability unique to the Pact, and they can really save your neck when you really need them. However, if you want to avoid fighting the same HP-sponge enemies, or are revisiting areas for goodies, there are easy ways to avoid combat. The game offers plenty of tools to deal with both enemies and the environment in the form of Fantiebilities, from lures and traps to bait enemies, to skills that let you break walls or disperse illusions. I particularly enjoyed the Fog Veil ability that allows you to become invisible to combat encounters. This is especially useful when dealing with strong enemies that will pursue you relentlessly. The labyrinth is an amazing playground full of treasures. Shortly after unlocking the Wall Breaker ability, I was eager to explore all the new possibilities the game offers. Other notable traversal skills include Long Jump, and High Jump, which can be tricky! The spots where you can use them are not obvious unless you use Shine Light to see the usable spots in the map.
It was at this point that I felt like the game was a little bit bloated with systems and mechanics. At times, Labyrinth of Galleria became too concerned with teaching me new systems that I never had time to fully utilize or learn. Instead of committing to a handful of these and exploring their full potential, the game keeps throwing new stuff at you, which adds a lot of nuance in decision-making in combat and exploration, but can be distracting. I had a particularly difficult time trying to progress through the main story immediately after I was introduced to High Jump, as I forgot that I could use Shine Light to see which parts of the map had opened. After hitting certain roadblocks or when completing important objectives, the game will offer a short interlude that progresses the plot. The story is told through short visual novel sections. These are very light and easy to follow, and a nice way to intersperse exploring and fighting in the labyrinth with building its characters, world, and unraveling the mystery of Galleria Manor. The character sprites come from the hand of Takehito Harada, well known for his work illustrating the Disgaea series, and along with the gorgeous background illustrations offers the perfect atmosphere for these interludes. There are plenty of great quality of life options during these sections, too. Arrows indicating which on screen character is talking, one-button voice replays, a text log, and skip options are some of these additions.
In terms of accessibility, the game offers a robust and exhaustive settings menu with plenty of options. These range from plenty of audio options, from the regular BGM, sound effects, to activate or deactivate puppet soldier voices, combat speed options, and settings for the visual novel sections. Both the Japanese and the English voiceover are great, but I found the English voice direction particularly charming. Eureka is really sweet and full of pep, while Madame Marta is a cunning and charming witch with a lot of sass, and Count Bismont is a very standoffish and unlikeable noble. Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society scratches a particular itch I've had for a while. While the game starts as standard fare for the genre, it quickly shows that there are a lot of tricks under its sleeves, mainly in exploration and how to tackle diving into the labyrinth. There were times I felt I was playing a puzzle game while I explored the labyrinth, just to suddenly be reminded that this was an RPG with a deep combat system, all surrounded and neatly wrapped by a whimsical and at times scary story, not unlike that of classical fables. Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society will come out on February 14, 2023 in North America and February 17 in Europe for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, February 10, 2023 3:30 PM  Those who have played Hi-Fi Rush no doubt already know that the developer behind it, Tango Gameworks, previously worked on The Evil Within franchise. Naturally, Hi-Fi Rush contains a few nods that directly reference the survival horror franchise. One such reference comes in the form of a recurring robot HR investigator character that immediately brings The Evil Within protagonist Sebastian to mind. Players knew about many of these secrets since the game's launch. But one proved so well-hidden that GamesRadar first reported on it only about a day ago. Even more interestingly, this elusive Hi-Fi Rush Easter egg could serve as a teaser for what may be The Evil Within 3. First found by an anonymous reader of GamesRadar, this Easter egg hides away at the very beginning of Track 11. Note that Track 11 functions as the second-to-last stage in the game, so those who wish to avoid light spoilers should tread carefully.
