     Square Enix knows about FF14's weird faces, and a fix is coming

Square Enix promises more Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail graphics updates, as players continue to voice concern over the MMO's character models and lighting since patch 7.0. The colossal graphics overhaul brought much-improved lighting, resolution, and detail while keeping FF14's unique style intact. That said, not every playable race in the game is looking sharp, but this shouldn't be the case for much longer.

You can now get these games free with GPUs as cheap as the RX 7600 XT and CPUs as lowly as the Ryzen 7 7700. If your system is in need of an upgrade, and you've get less than $300 to spend, a free $55 game offers some great extra value.

     All confirmed Star Wars Outlaws characters

Who are all the confirmed Star Wars Outlaws characters? The story takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, so expect cameos from Jabba the Hutt, Lando Calrissian, and even Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

There's not long to go now until the Star Wars Outlaws release date, and we know plenty more about what to expect from Ubisoft's venture in the Star Wars universe. We know about the mission types, when Star Wars Outlaws takes place, and what its open world looks like. We've also been scouring trailers for old and new characters that could appear in the space game and when we could be interacting with them throughout the story.

     Deck-building roguelike Last Spartan locks in Steam release date

Take one glance at the list of new Steam releases on a given day, and you'll find some epic indies that are getting really experimental when it comes to mashing up genres and aesthetics.

Whew, that's a lot of mashing. If that sounds like a bit of you, then you'll be pleased to hear you won't have too much longer to wait for it, as its release date has just been confirmed.

When is the next Monopoly Go Golden Blitz? This special, limited-time event allows players to trade the usually locked golden stickers up to five times a day. This is an ideal solution for grabbing elusive missing stickers and completing albums quickly. While you can trade these up to five times a day, each event is limited to two specific stickers, set by Scopely.

     Space Marine 2's great co-op carries a so-far underwhelming campaign

I'm a big Warhammer 40k fan; what's not to love about the grimdark future of the 41st millennium? With hundreds of hours spent on the Dawn of War trilogy, Mechanicus, and the original Space Marine, it would be an understatement to say that I'm excited to see Titus return in Space Marine 2. I recently had the opportunity to go hands-on ahead of its full release. No stone was left unturned, no Tyranids were left standing, and while I ended my preview with decidedly mixed feelings, I'm still intrigued to play more.

     City 20 could be the biggest, most believable survival game ever made

It's not out yet, so this is still speculative, but from what I've played and what I've seen, the promise of City 20 is immense. The inspirations from Stalker and Fallout are clear - it's a post-nuclear apocalypse where you need to scrounge for supplies, ally yourself with warring factions, and complete quests to earn better gear and increase your chances of survival. Beyond that however, this is a uniquely flexible sandbox, an anything-can-happen world where every NPC is an individual and all the systems are dynamic. You really have to experience it for yourself. Fortunately, it's just returned via an improved and expanded demo.

What are the Black Myth Wukong bosses? The latest rumors suggest that Black Myth Wukong includes over 80 bosses to defeat, in accordance with the 81 trials that appear in Journey to the West.

Bosses in Black Myth Wukong form the basis of progression in Game Science's action RPG game, and learning how to beat them is the only way to see the Destined One's journey through to its end. We also know that several bosses will only transition into their second phase if you beat them within a set amount of time.

     How much have I spent on LoL?

07/08/2024 The Riot support page for finding money spent is currently back 'under construction'. We will update this page once it is back up and running. Fortunately, there is an alternative Riot support ticket method that only takes a couple of extra clicks - a method we've also outlined below.

How do you see how much you have spent on League of Legends? Riot Games' hugely successful MOBA is technically a free game, but if you ask any avid fan if that's the case, you'll no doubt receive a wry laugh in response. The champion pool is diverse and wonderful; each character can be purchased with currency earned while playing. Premium cosmetics, however, are bought with real-world money.

These League of Legends skins and other cosmetics can be purchased directly using an in-game currency called RP. RP itself, though, must be purchased with your hard-earned cash. LoL skins change the base look of the character you're playing, with premium cosmetics adding new effects, voice lines, and animations. Then there's the battle pass that can be bought using RP, too. So, while League of Legends is technically one of the best free PC games around, you can see just how easily it can sway you into parting with your money. This guide will give you the information needed to find out exactly how much you've spent in League of Legends - you just might not like the answer when you get it.

However, working within the boundaries of the game's mechanics only gets you so far – if you're looking to embrace full-on mayhem, look no further than GTA 6 cheats.

There aren't any confirmed GTA 6 cheats just yet, but the sheer volume of cheats that have spanned the entirety of the GTA series allows us to make an educated guess as to what's included ahead of the GTA 6 release date.

     AMD just revealed its Ryzen 9000 CPU prices, and they're disappointing

The lid has just been lifted on all the AMD Ryzen 9000 prices, with the CPU maker officially confirming how much you'll have to pay for each one of its new Zen 5 CPUs. All of them are lower than the Ryzen 7000 prices for the equivalent chips when they first launched, but they're also a fair bit higher than the cost of these Zen 4 chips now.

Indeed, with Intel CPU instability issues still raging on, arguably the main competition for these new Ryzen 9000 chips will come from the last-gen AMD Zen 4 lineup. That's particularly the case when it comes to the battle for the best gaming CPU title, as none of the first Zen 5 CPUs out the door will be X3D chips with AMD's 3D V-cache. Some of the prices are exactly the same as the ones we saw in the Best Buy AMD price leak, but a couple of them are a bit higher.

     Callisto Protocol was forced to ship early, content was cut, dev says

All the ingredients were there. Directed by the creator of Dead Space, inspired, partly, by the Resident Evil remakes, and boasting a novel combat system, The Callisto Protocol also had great visuals and supremely atmospheric setting. But when it launched in 2022, the reception, though mostly warm, was less than the explosive fanfare which we all perhaps expected. I think, in time, The Callisto Protocol will earn a reputation as an underappreciated gem - the first half of Striking Distance's horror game is especially effective. But now director Glen Schofield, whose credits also include Call of Duty, details problems with The Callisto Protocol's publisher, Krafton, and the content that had to be cut.

What if the company that sold your cheese also sold your PC gaming hardware? This is not the murmuring of some poor sod on a nineteen-hour Dota 2 binge who's started thinking that the crumbs in his keyboard resemble a viable snack, but a bold new reality, one I recently found myself staring down during a trip to Asda. The supermarket chain – third biggest in the UK by turnover and purveyors of ill-fitting clothes and surprisingly good doughnuts alike – has added light-up gaming mice, keyboards, and headsets to its mountain of own-brand wares.

Asda being what it is (Americans, if you're unfamiliar, think Walmart with less gun violence), it's all dirt cheap as well. £17 for a full-size keyboard. £16 for an FPS mouse. Overwhelmed with curiosity, I ended up taking home a complete starter set (keeb, different mouse, headset, and mousemat) for £45, or about a third of the price of the Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL that I'd shortly kick off my desk. Could this be a new frontier in affordable PC hardware, bringing tech to the masses in a way no specialist retailer ever could, or should supermarkets stick to cereal and meal deals? Surely the Asda Tech (real name) 4-in-1 Gaming Kit would have the answers.

My own experience with gambling doesn't extend much beyond the single time I won a few dollars at a Vegas slot machine then refused to play again so I could claim that I'd "beaten Vegas."

trigun water guns

Fullcock will release water guns that look like the weapons Knives and Vash wielded in the original Trigun anime. Pre-orders are available until September 18, 2024 and the water guns will come out in December 2024.

Each gun looks quite realistic, but they're made of ABS plastic. Fullcock has also listed specific information on each gun, such as the type of gun the characters used. In terms of pricing, Knives's and Vash's normal guns both cost 5500 JPY ($37.45). Meanwhile, the Vash's first gun model will cost 4950 JPY ($33.70). This was the gun that he used up to episode 3.

There are some other notes about the water guns. When you get them, you will need to put the grip together with glue (which Fullcock will not supply). As well, you shouldn't aim the gun downwards, as this can cause water to leak out. In terms of its usage in a water fight, these Trigun water guns aren't the best. You'd be better off putting these guns on display and then buying a Super Soaker instead if you're in it to win it.

Trigun is a popular space western that ran from 1995 to 1996, and then 1997 to 2007. The anime series for it aired from April 1998 to September 1998. Trigun Stampede is a reimagined version of the series that started airing in 2023. It follows Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, two insurance workers, who come across The Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede. While Vash is a skilled gunman and accidentally destroyed a city (causing him to have a huge bounty on his head), he is actually a pacifist with a mysterious past.

The Fullcock Trigun water guns are open for pre-order until September 18, 2024. They'll come out in December 2024.

minato aqua aquarium

Entergram announced that it will stop development on the sequel for Aquarium, which was the romantic visual novel made by Minato Aqua of hololive. This is due to Aqua's graduation, which will take place on August 28, 2024.

The full announcement is available on the company's X (formerly Twitter) account. It apologizes to everyone who was waiting for a new Aquarium game, but hopes that people can understand the reasons as to why it had to. At the end of the message, it reminded people that the current Aquarium game is still available online and you will be able to buy it even after Minato Aqua graduates.

Minato Aqua announced her graduation on August 6, 2024, stating that she would graduate on August 28, 2024. The talent behind the personality said that this was due to creative differences with Cover and hololive, though didn't give more reason beyond that. She doesn't want people to speculate online about her reasons. Minato Aqua debuted with hololive on August 8, 2018 as part of the company's second generation. Other VTubers who debuted alongside her include Oozora Subaru and Murasaki Shion. As of the time of writing, Aqua has over 2.08 million subscribers on her YouTube channel.

Aquarium is available on the Windows PC, Nintendo Swich, and PS4. The Aquarium sequel is no longer in development.

disney dreamlight valley roadmap 2024

The Disney Dreamlight Valley website has uploaded its roadmap for 2024. New characters will include Timon & Pumbaa, Jafar, and Tiana.

For starters, a free August 2024 update will introduce Tiana from The Princess and the Frog to the valley. You'll also be able to get the Tiana's Palace and Star Path decoration. In the same month, the A Rift in Time expansion pass will introduce a new story in which you infiltrate Jafar's palace to stop his evil plan. This will be paid DLC.

October 2024 will have a smaller update to fix issues with the game. However, it will introduce Timon & Pumbaa in a storyline that takes you back to The Lion King. Finally, in late 2024, it look like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas may take center stage, as the picture shows a dress that looks like hers. However, there's no information on that as of yet.\

Other future updates for Disney Dreamlight Valley include fixes based on player feedback. There will be changes to the Furniture and Wardrobe menus, as well as ways to get more space in the valley if you have a really full one. There will be cross-platform multiplayer for PlayStation consoles as well.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life simulation game in which you live in a magical valley alongside classic Disney characters. It's very similar to Animal Crossing in that you can interact with the residents, fix up the valley, and rearrange items around the valley or your house. However, there is an overarching story in this game.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.

genshin impact emilie

HoYoVerse has released a new Collected Miscellany trailer for Emilie, the newest character in Genshin Impact. As a reminder, she is a 5-star Dendro Polearm character from Fontaine.

You can watch the trailer here:

It's also available in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

The trailer is over five and a half minutes long, as it focuses on teaching players how to use Emilie. It also shows her combat animations in battle. Her Skill creates a Lumidouce Case that can deal AoE Dendro DMG. If an opponent affected by Burning is nearby, then the Lumidouce Case will collect Scents they give off, leveling up after a certain amount to deal one extra Puff of Puredew Dendro DMG. Her Elemental Burst is to create a powered up version of the Lumidouce Case, and this one does not have the ability to gather Scents.

As so much of Emilie's kit revolves around these off-field forms of Dendro DMG, as well as the Burning effect, she would work well as a sub-DPS to a Pyro character. You can also combine her with other Pyro effects too. Characters that work well with Emilie include Xiangling, Arlecchino, and Lyney. You can also use her as a normal Dendro unit with characters like Fischl or Yelan.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Emilie is available to pull from in Genshin Impact until August 27, 2024.
