PCGamesN Monday, May 13, 2024 4:11 PM  It's a strange time to be a fan of Fallout. On one hand you have the TV series bringing the games to a wider audience and successfully nailing the feel better than you could've hoped. You've got Fallout 4 more popular than ever but on the other hand, there's the next-gen update. Its launch introduced a ton of new issues to the game and didn't achieve what it set out to do, especially on PC. A second patch has just launched to try and fix some of these issues but unfortunately it still isn't going well.

PCGamesN Monday, May 13, 2024 2:08 PM  What are the best Hades 2 boons? Much of Hades 2 is a mystery, but what we do know is that Melinoë has quite a task ahead of her. Not only does she plan on going toe-to-toe with the god of time, Chronos, but she has to contend with countless minions and the occasional big bad along the way. The Hades 2 early access gives us a tantalizing look at the roguelike game, allowing us to test out new Hades 2 builds, introduce ourselves to the new, and returning, cast of Hades 2 gods, and most importantly, hand out gifts like candy. We have played as much Hades 2 as humanely possible, and have figured out the best boons so you can dominate the underworld.

Atlus introduced even more new demons appearing in the upcoming SMT V: Vengeance, including the never-before-seen Nyami Nyami and previous SMT V DLC demon Cleopatra. Nyami Nyami, alongside Anansi and Onyankopon, was revealed as one of the three new African demons making their debut in SMT V: Vengeance.
Nyami Nyami is a new demon belonging to the Dragon race. He is the Zambezi River God of the Tonga and Lozi people in southern Africa. With the body of a snake and the head of a fish or a dragon, Nyami Nyami protects people living near bodies of water.
Vritra is a demon also belonging to the Dragon race, and it made its first 3D appearance in the recent Soul Hackers 2. Vritra is a dragon or snake hailing from Hindu myth. After being defeated by Indra, God of Thunder, rain returned to the world. However, it is said that Vritra always returns the next year, with the battle continuing for eternity.
Cleopatra was one of the DLC demons in the original SMT V, and she belongs to the Femme race. A legendary Egyptian Pharaoh, her name means "glory to the father" in Greek. Known for her unparalleled beauty, she was also highly skilled in the musical arts and in conversation.
Gogmagog, of the Jirae race, makes his debut as a fully 3D-modeled demon in SMT V: Vengeance. A giant said to have lived in Britain during prehistoric times, Gogmagog's body was so massive that he could destroy a sailing ship with his arm. While he defended the island from any invaders, he was eventually defeated by Brutus of Troy.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on June 14, 2024. The original SMT V appeared exclusively for the Switch, and it will be delisted on the same day.

ChroNoiR of Nijisanji will appear at Anime Expo 2024 to hold a concert. "Welcome to Wonder Wander World" will also be available for streaming.
This concert will focus on the "Wonder Wander World" album, which is their second one. They also held a concert in Japan earlier this year. The concert should last for about sixty minutes, and it'll run on July 7, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM PT. Tickets cost $65 for the pit and $40 for the orchestra, and you can purchase tickets from ShowClix. They're on a first-come, first-served basis, so interested parties will have to move fast.
ChroNoiR is a singing duo consisting of Kanae and Kuzuha of Nijisanji JP. These two are some of the biggest names on the JP side. In 2021, Kuzuha became the first male VTuber to reach a million subscribers, and Kanae reached that milestone a year later in 2022. In February 2024, Kuzuha and Kanae were the only two VTubers from Nijisanji who made it onto a list of the most watched VTubers for that month. With the exception of Dokibird, all of the other members on the list were from Hololive. As of the time of writing, Kuzuha has 1.73 million subscribers on his channel, and Kanae has 1.29 million.
ChroNoiR will be at Anime Expo on July 7, 2024, for their concert. Other guests who'll be present include voice actress Britt Baron (Tifa in FFVII Rebirth), Kanou Yoshiki (the director of Fate/Grand Order Part 2, and voice actor Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro in Demon Slayer).

Supergiant Games announced that it plans to deal with issues involving resource gathering and Melinoe's dash and sprint in the first Hades 2 patch. However, there's no exact release date for the update for the early access build beyond it appearing sometime later in May 2024.
The goal for both the Hades 2 resource gathering and the dash and sprint adjustments is to make both more comfortable and not frustrating for the player. In the case of materials, Supergiant noted the change is designed to eliminate the grind. As for the dash and sprint options, the team will "improve" both to ensure she is unique compared to Zagreus, but still plays smoothly.
Supergiant also noted it will work on a balance patch for Hades 2 as well. There's no launch window for that. However, it did note that it is using the anonymous data people consented to share to collect fee information about things that may need changing. Some elements that could be rebalanced that were specifically mentioned were boons, foes, and weapons.
Hades 2 is available on the PC via Steam Early Access now, and the first patch will appear in May 2024. The full launch is expected to appear sometime in early 2025, with console versions to appear after that.

Stromatosoft Inc, developer of the Witch and Lilies yuri JRPG, announced the PC game will debut via Steam Early Access on May 24, 2024. It will cost $24.99/¥3,480 and be available in English and Japanese.
As this is a yuri game, there are relationship elements mixed in with the JRPG dungeon-crawling. Like games like Wizardry and Etrian Odyssey, people create custom characters based on 10 jobs and determine their skills. We will then take our parties through first-person, 3D dungeons. Encounters will involve turn-based battles with 2D character art.
When characters work together and fight together, relationships will form between them. The initial screenshots show both pink hearts and white broken hearts representing character statuses in the menu, letting players know at a glance how close their characters are. Characters who are dating or a couple will work together to attack or defend in battles. There will also be special event scenes between them.
Here's the third trailer for Witch and Lilies.
In case you missed it, the 2023 Tokyo Game Show trailer featured lots of English gameplay footage for the PC JRPG.
And here are the most recent screenshots from Steam.
Witch and Lilies will launch on the PC via Steam Early Access on May 24, 2024.

The Sega Prize figure social media account revealed that the Chubby Collection will soon feature two NieR: Automata 9S figures. The variants will be available in Fall 2024 in Japan.
Each of these figures is a diminutive version of 9S. He's wearing his standard outfit from the game and anime. However, while one is his standard black, the other is a green version.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, May 13, 2024 7:53 PM  There are certain items in games that are timeless and reliable. Firecrackers or something very similar have been used in games forever as distractions, diversions, and stunning weapons. In Dying Light, firecrackers are used to distract zombies, provided you know how to use them. How to use Firecrackers in Dying Light Whether you are playing on Console or PC, the way you use Firecrackers in Dying Light stays pretty much the same. First, once you have picked them up, equip them to your quick slots. If you are playing on a PC, you can equip items to your 1 through 4 buttons. On the console, you need to equip the Firecrackers to your D-Pad buttons. This is done by opening your inventory and equipping things to your quick bar. Screenshot: PC Invasion Select your Firecrackers using the relevant D-Pad button or number on your PC numbers, and then press the use button in Dying Light. This is the middle button on your mouse if you're playing Dying Light on PC or your left tri... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, May 13, 2024 7:07 PM  Nothing kills immersion in a game more than a big, fat, game-breaking bug. That's why when you end up with a 'Can't use, enemies nearby' error splashed across your screen while trying to perform an action in Dying Light 2, it's a real bummer. How to workaround the cant use enemies nearby bug This error may start to happen at any point in your game, and once it does, it can be a complete soft lock. You may see it when you're trying to talk to a key NPC, open a door, or in many other situations in Dying Light 2. I expect that if you've been dealing with this recurring issue in the game, you've probably been restarting your game. Currently, this is the most tried-and-tested method to fix the issue. It's a real ballache, though, and may end up losing you a ton of progress. This method will sometimes play you only a few seconds from where you are, but more often than not, you will lose a lot of time. Here are a few things you c... |

Here's the best Song Chiyul build in Solo Leveling Arise so you can pick the best weapons and Artifacts for this character. Solo Leveling Arise: Best Song Chiyul Artifacts Song Chiyul is an excellent DPS character with powerful abilities that deal Fire damage. Because of this, the best Armor Artifact set has to be the Armed set. Here's what it does: Armed set 2-piece: Increase the user's Attack by 5%. 4-piece: When attacking, ignores 15% of the target's Defense and attacks. Chiyul's abilities all center around dealing damage in some way, so giving him an extra Attack boost is the best way to go. The 4-piece set is best since it can also ignore a small percentage of the enemy's Defense and attacks as you're attacking them, giving you a major advantage. If you... |
