PCGamesN Tuesday, November 12, 2024 7:16 PM  For the last 16 years, gamers wanting to while away the hours becoming a cattle-rearing legend or the local king of soybean production have turned to the ever-reliable Farming Simulator series. From casual, therapeutic farming to one of the most bizarre competitive esports scenes I've ever witnessed, it's one of the most iconic simulator games on PC. Now it's time for another new entry and on its debut day, Farming Simulator 25 has blown up the Steam charts and set a series record in the process.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 12, 2024 7:11 PM  Everyone wants to be a soulslike, or at least that's how it can feel at times. The big names like FromSoftware keep on hitting new heights with Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and of course the three Dark Souls games. In the background, there's a susurration of soulslikes continually appearing, like Lords of the Fallen, Mortal Shell, Lies of P, and Thymesia. None manage to really hit the same notes as FromSoft, however, with the legendary developer showing a perpetual mastery of the genre. That might be about to change with Void Sols, a new game out now that tries something new in this space.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 12, 2024 5:49 PM  It's felt like an oddly-quiet time for Destiny 2 recently. Well, aside from that whole perk weighting saga. But in terms of the game's story and seasonal content, Bungie's decision to dump everything Revenant Act 1 had to offer at the very start has resulted in a fairly long wait for more. However, today's developer livestream has put that wait to an end. Previewing what's to come in Act 2 next week, Bungie has lifted the lid on a new mode, artifact, weapons, and more, but for me there is one thing that stole the show - dragon armor.

Titles like Destiny 2, Path of Exile, Warframe, or Once Human are always on a knife edge when it comes to alterations. Diablo 4 is no different, and the recent addition of the new Spiritborn class has seen some completely unintended effects cause this character's power to skyrocket. With a midseason patch on the way, Spiritborn fans can rest assured that Blizzard won't be hitting it with nerfs. Yet.

Tamashii Nations revealed an SH Figuarts figure of Gintoki Sakata from Gintama. It'll come out in May 2025, and more information on pre-orders will come out later.
If you go to the Tamashii Nations 2024 exhibition, you'll be able to see a prototype of the Gintoki figure. The show will run from November 15 to 17, 2024. Considering the figure has been painted already, it's possible that pre-orders will open up very soon. For now, the figure isn't available on the website just yet.
From what we can see of the picture on Tamashii Nations's website, the Gintoki figure can look both cool and silly, much like the character himself. Since this is a Figuarts figure, you can pose him and one of the parts you can give him is his wooden sword. Some of the comments hope that you can make him do the Kamehameha pose, which is a reference to how many times Gintoki tries to pull off the attack in the series. Since it seems like you can put his arm through his left sleeve, it might be possible.
While Tamashii Nations did not mention it, this figure might be part of the ongoing promotion for the 20th anniversary of Gintama. There have been multiple events and campaigns, such as an exhibition and a new popularity poll. Though the original Gintama already ended, the spin-off 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei will air in October 2025.
The Gintama Gintoki Sakata figure from Tamashii Nations will open up for pre-order some time soon.

D3 announced that it will release a game based on Puniru Is a Cute Slime for the Nintendo Switch. The full name of the game is Puniru Is a Cute Slime: I Made a Game Like That Game, But Can You Clear It?. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]
News of this first appeared the November issue of Monthly CoroCoro Comic. However, there wasn't much information on it back then. It appears that the game will be a collaboration with Yeah, You Want "Those Games," Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let's See You Clear Them!, or Those Games, which D3 published in 2023. Those Games is a parody puzzle video game that turns "fake" mini-games for advertisements into real levels that you can play through. According to leaker ryokutya2089, the game will put a lot of emphasis on cuteness. So instead of stick figures like in Those Games, the Puniru Switch game might see models of the characters.
Puniru Is a Cute Slime is a children's manga that's been serialized in Bessatu CoroCoro Comic since February 2019. It follows Kotaro, a young boy who made Puniru the slime for a science experiment, and Puniru's attempts at getting him to notice and admit how cute she is. An anime adaptation started airing in October 2024.
Puniru Is a Cute Slime: I Made a Game like That Game, But Can You Clear It? is in development for the Nintendo Switch.

Meanwhile, the North American store is selling it for $49.99 and it'll ship out some time in Q4 2025.

Aside from extra hand parts so that you can make her hold items, you'll also get her Mussou Isshin and Engulfing Lightning parts to make her look like she's in battle. If you prefer a more peaceful-looking Nendoroid, there's also some dango milk.
Here are some more pictures of the Genshin Impact Raiden Shogun Nendoroid:
In the game proper, Raiden Shogun is the Electro Archon of Inazuma. She was the main antagonist in the story's Inazuma chapter, as well as a playable 5-star Electro Polearm user. As a unit, Raiden Shogun is a very powerful support character who can double as a main attacker depending on your build and Constellation level.
Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. It will also appear on the Xbox Series X on November 20, 2024.
