GamersHeroes Friday, June 7, 2024 11:14 AM One could be forgiven for thinking a $200 controller is a bit of a luxury purchase, but here I sit, having spent over $360 on Sony's official DualSense garbage, just praying that any controller I purchase can last longer than six months.

PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 11:56 AM  It's official, virtually no one is buying Intel graphics cards. In fact, the latest figures show that the Intel graphics market share for add-in-boards (AIBs) based on its GPUs has effectively plummeted to 0%.

Despite its best efforts, Intel has so far struggled to make inroads into the GPU market, with none of its current products currently gracing our best graphics card guide. Even so, these latest figures make for especially bleak reading for Intel, as at the same time in 2023 the company did at least command 4% of the AIB GPU market.

PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 11:51 AM  After a long day of work, you don't want to perch your bottom on an uncomfortable chair as you sit down for a well-earned gaming session. In an office, employers often provide comfortable and ergonomic chairs to prevent discomfort and injury and it shouldn't be any different for gamers. The best gaming chairs should be well-suited for home use, and have a lick of paint so they don't look so corporate. The Acer Predator Rift – the manufacturer's first foray into chairs – strikes the right blend of all these attributes, with good lumbar and head support, a solid build, and the ability to lean right back all for a fairly reasonable price. It sounds odd for a PC-centric brand to move into furniture, but who better to understand the needs of consumers?

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can now play five Mega Man Game Boy Games on their consoles. Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, Mega Man II, Mega Man III, Mega Man IV, and Mega Man V can now be access in the Game Boy app.
As a reminder, while these have the same names as early Mega Man games and many installments feature the same enemies, they are actually original titles and part of the Mega Man World storyline. The series kicked off with Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge. In it, Dr. Wily returns, bringing back Bubble Man, Cut Man, Fire Man, Flash Man, Elec Man, Heat Man, Ice Man, and Quick Man, as well as the new robot Enker. Entries II-IV follow that pattern of returning robots.
However, the final entry Mega Man V changes things up. In it, Mega Man faces the original Stardroids Mercury, Venus, Terra, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as some other Mega Man World opponents.
Here's the full trailer for the Mega Man Game Boy Nintendo Switch Online games:

There will be a new Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP announcement at 6pm PT/9pm ET on June 13, 2024, and we'll be able to see the first trailer for it, as well as learn about the release date and platforms.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will be a remastered version of the original Lollipop Chainsaw. However, Suda51 and James Gunn, who had worked on the original, aren't involved in the project. Dragami Games originally announced it as a remake, though it became a remaster due to fan request.
Lollipop Chainsaw originally came out in 2012 and is a hack-and-slash action-adventure game with a morbid and dark sense of humor. It stars Tara Strong and Eri Kitamura as Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who moonlights as a zombie hunter, which is her family's business. After her boyfriend dies protecting her from a zombie, she decapitates him and attaches her head to her belt.
Dragami Games first announced the remaster during 2022 and it was supposed to come out in Summer 2024. However, it was delayed until Summer 2024. The original game came out on the PS3 and Xbox 360. So we can guess that RePOP can come out on consoles like the PS5 or the Xbox Series X.
The Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP release date and trailer will appear on June 13, 2024.

During the Version 2.3 Special Program, developer HoYoverse detailed some of the events due to arrive in Honkai: Star Rail. The next update, Version 2.3, is set to arrive on June 19, 2024, alongside new characters Jade and Firefly and a new Simulated Universe variation.
Called "Divergent Universe: Human Comedy," this new mode for the Simulated Universe will feature "equations" that provide extensive buffs, but only if a number of blessings from specific paths are obtained. There are also new Weighted Curios, that are designed to work with specific types of characters. Under-leveled characters will be boosted to the recommended level of the run.
There is also a new light cone in the Herta store and weekly challenges to complete for rewards. Additionally, players who complete a run of Divergent Universe will be able to save a record of the blessings and curios used, and "reload" it to skip right to the final boss for easier farming of Planar Ornament relics.
Meanwhile, another useful feature that will appear is the When Charmony Rings Out event page, which allows players who have completed the Trailblaze mission "Jarilo IV - The Return" will be able to claim the Harmony version of the Trailblazer. This will be available even if players have not completed the Penacony storylines usually needed to unlock it, though players that have will receive an Eidolon for the character instead.
Other events coming to Honkai: Star Rail in Version 2.3 include:

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 is set to launch on June 19, 2024, while the game itself is already available on PC, PS5, and mobile devices.

Animate has launched a Kujimate lottery based on Doki Doki Literature Club in Japan. People can purchase tickets priced at 770 yen (~$4.95) apiece, and each ticket is guaranteed to reward a prize item.
The primary highlight of this lottery will be the die-cut cushions with chibi illustrations of the visual novel's four main characters—Sayori, Yuri, Monika, and Natsuki. The prize lineup will also include acrylic stands featuring the above characters with quotes in English.
Here is the complete list of prizes in the lottery, along with the probabilities and whether the buyer will be able to specify the exact item or not.
In addition, for every ten orders made in a single receipt, Animate will hand over a bonus random postcard based on a scene from the visual novel. The company will also make the shipping cost-free if the buyer spends more than 8,800 yen, or at least 12 tickets in this lottery.
Team Salvato's visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club has been receiving numerous merchandise in Japan. In 2023, Good Smile Company revealed Nendoroids and Pop Up Parade figures based on the characters. SuperGroupies also released bags inspired by Monika and watches modeled after all four club members.
Animate will close the order period for the Doki Doki Literature Club Kujimate lottery on July 7, 2024. It will deliver the prizes in September 2024.

Atlus detailed the streaming guidelines for the upcoming SMT V: Vengeance, as well as the rules regarding posting screenshots and videos. In order to avoid spoiling the new contents of the game, players will only be allowed to share content until a certain point in the game until June 24, 2024.
As per the streaming guidelines, players will only be able to share content from SMT V: Vengeance up to the completion of the main quest titled "The Three Keys" until June 23, 2024. This means that on June 24, 2024, all content from the game can be streamed. Additionally, Atlus asked players to include spoiler tags accordingly. Those with access to the game prior to release are not allowed to upload any content from the game.
In the original SMT V, "The Three Keys" is one of the late-game main quest that unlock in the final act of the game. With the new Vengeance enhanced release, a completely new Canon of Vengeance route and storyline have added. However, at the time of writing it is not known at which point in the game the routes will diverge.

At the end of the 2.3 Honkai: Star Rail Special Program, six new Xianzhou Luofu characters were teased. They will all be a part of the upcoming Wardance Luminary Combat Arts Ceremony.
All of the characters only appeared as silhouettes in the showcase. However, HoYoVerse already shared the gacha splash art for two of them. We already know how Yunli, an upcoming five-star, will look in-game. She is expected to be one of the new 2.4 releases. Yunli is, like Argenti and Clara, a Physical Destruction character.
Here's a gallery looking at the silhouettes of the new Honkai: Star Rail Xianzhou Luofu characters. They consist of an unnamed swordmaster, Huaiyan, Yunli, Feixiao, Moze, and Lingsha. No rarities, paths, or elements are mentioned. However, Huaiyan's title is "The Flaming Heart," suggesting that is another Fire character.
You can see them in the video below after the 49 minute mark:
Before that, we'll see the debut of two characters. Firefly and Jade will both be playable for the first time after the 2.3 update. Jade will also feature more prominently in the story than she had in the past.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, with 2.3 arriving on June 19, 2024.

During the Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 special program, HoYoVerse gave more information on the new characters Firefly and Jade. We also got information on the order of their banners.
Firefly will be a 5-star Fire Destruction character who specializes in Break Effect. She can consume her own HP to deal damage with her Skill and she can enter Complete Combustion state with her Ultimate. When she's in Complete Combustion state, she can use enhanced versions of her Basic Attack and Skill, which restore her HP and deal extra damage scaling off Break Effect.
Jade will be a 5-star Quantum Erudition character. She works similar to other IPC characters in that she can deal follow-up attack. Her Skill lets her buff an ally's SPD and deal extra damage when they attack. However, it'll cost them some HP. Jade can use this Skill on herself as well, but she'll enjoy the benefits without the extra cost. Every time someones he has a contract with attacks, she gains stacks and launches a follow-up attack when she gets enough. Jade's Ultimate deals Quantum DMG to all targets and enhances her follow-up attack. As well, her Basic Attack can deal Blast Quantum DMG instead of just to a single target.
The first phase of the update will feature Firefly and Ruan Mei. 4-stars on rate-up during these banners are Gallagher, Xueyi, and Misha. As Firefly is still part of the current Break Effect meta, all of these characters (including Ruan Mei) should work well with her. The second phase will introduce Jade and re-run Argenti. 4-stars on rate-up will be Serval, Natasha, and Asta.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 4.3 of Honkai: Star Rail, which will introduce Firefly and Jade, will go live on June 19, 2024.

After about a year, those outside of Japan can finally stream the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos The Movie on Netflix. You'll be able to watch it from August 22, 2024.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos The Movie is a two-parter movie that concludes the Sailor Moon series. It covers the Shadow Galactica arc and originally appeared in early Summer 2023 in Japan. Back when it first appeared, it was part of the 30th anniversary of the Sailor Moon franchise. In its native Japan, it had an average rating of about 3.85 out of 5.0, based on 139 reviews. It was only a modest success in terms of the box office.
As one can see from the art style, the movies are part of the Sailor Moon Crystal continuum. It is a direct sequel to the Sailor Moon Eternal film, which teased the Shadow Galactica arc at the end of it. Sailor Moon Crystal not only has a different art style and cast from the original 1990's anime, but it is also a more faithful adaptation of the manga. When the original Sailor Moon anime got to the Shadow Galactica arc, there were quite a few changes. For example, characters like Sailor Phi and Chi were absent.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos The Movie will appear on Netflix from August 22, 2024.

Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse revealed the release date for the upcoming Version 2.3 of the game will be June 19, 2024 . The announcement came after the Version 2.3 Special Program stream that also showed a preview of what is to come in the patch, including new characters, events, codes, and story missions.
The Special Program stream first shared details about the mechanics of the two new characters, the Fire and Destruction character Firefly, and the Quantum Erudition character Jade. Firefly takes to battle wearing her Iron Cavalry armor known as SAM and is a break-focused character that expends health to use skills, before entering a special mode with her ultimate. Jade, meanwhile, boosts an ally's attack at the expense of health while charging a follow-up attack that can be further boosted with her ultimate.
We also saw some glimpses at the upcoming story, which takes place on an Airship called the Radiant Feldspar and looks to involve both Sparkle's distributed explosives and IPC intrigue on Penacony. There are also a bevy of new events on the way including a new variant on the Simulated Universe game mode, called "Divergent Universe: Human Comedy" that will allow players to use characters they own but haven't yet fully built or levelled up.
You can find the official Twitter announcement of the date here and watch the 2.3 Preview trailer via Youtube below:
Though the 2.3 update isn't out yet, HoYoverse have begun drip marketing for future characters already. Yunli is set to be a Physical and Destruction type character, while Foxian Jiaoqiu is a Fire character on the path of Nihility.
The Honkai: Star Rail Version release date for the 2.3 update is June 19, 2024. It will include gacha banners for Firefly and Ruan Mei. The game itself is readily available on PC, PS5, and mobile devices.

HoYoVerse has detailed the Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation event that'll start soon in Genshin Impact. It'll run from June 7 to 17, 2024.
In order to participate, you'll need to be over Adventure Rank 20 and have completed the "Song of the Dragon and Freedom." However, HoYoVerse also suggests completing "Masquerade of the Guilty" to gett he best experience from the event. Completing the event and gaining enough rewards will grant players rewards such as the Cloudforged bow, Primogems, Crowns of Insight, and more.
During the event, players will be able to play through the Assault Scenario and the Defense Scenario. To put it shortly, this is a tower defense event very similar to Theater Mechanicus in the past. Players can move around on the field to influence it with leader skills, but the actual bulk of attacking or defending relies on the units you place there. Assault Scenario has you attacking someone else's formation and stronghold. Meanwhile, Defense Scenario has you setting up a stronghold, as well as defenders, to protect your base.
There doesn't seem to be a grand story in this event, so it's unclear why HoYoVerse recommends clearing Masquerade of the Guilty first to get the best experience. Cloudforged is a 4-star bow that has an Elemental Mastery main stat. Its skill increases Elemental Mastery for a character after their Elemental Energy is decreased. As new character Sethos scales off Elemental Mastery, this could be a very good weapon for him.
Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation event will go live in Genshin Impact on June 7, 2024.

These are the Honkai: Star Rail codes for Special Program 2.3:
As with past drops during Special Programs, you get some in-game improvement items, Credits, and 300 Stellar Jades if you redeem all three of the free codes HoYoVerse shares in time. That's enough for one pull, though you can get the remaining 20 Stellar Jades to bring it up to two free pulls via completing in-game missions or daily quests.
Here's the full list of three codes and what each one provides:
As part of Summer Game Fest 2024, people can also get 30 additional Stellar Jades via TikTok. You need to watch the showcase on June 7, 2024 there and comment to get it.
Redeeming these codes works the same as usual too. Mobile players will need to go through the HoYoVerse website. You can then copy and paste to enter them one by one. They'll appear in your inbox in-game after that. On the PS5 and PC, they can be entered in-game. Head to the menu. Then, click the Trailblazer Profile button. There is an option to redeem codes there.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the free Stellar Jade codes for Special Program 2.3 expire after June 7, 2024 or they run out. The 2.3 update will appear on June 19, 2024.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, June 7, 2024 11:35 AM  One of the event quests in Star Wars Hunters is to get triple kills, an objective that is surprisingly very hard to do in the online shooter. This guide has tips for you as it will explain the best ways to get triple kills in Star Wars Hunters. Star Wars Hunters: How to get triple kills Unfortunately, the majority of the characters in Star Wars Hunters are not great at getting group kills. In that case, if you want to increase your chances of getting triple kills, it would be best to choose a character that has an ultimate ability that is great at AoE. I recommend choosing Rieve, Aran Tal, or Utooni to complete the triple-kill quest. Each one of the characters mentioned has an ultimate ability that covers a good amount of ground and can hit multiple targets. Below is a brief description of each one of these characters' ultimate abilities. Fury of Clan Tal (Aran Tal): Aran flies around the arena, shooting off powerful streams of fire and burning his enemies. Covers a ... |
