Dragon Age: The Veilguard's ending is one of the best segments in the game if not the whole series. But its secret ending, one you unlock by doing specific side quests and finding certain artifacts throughout the world, is a bit more controversial. After fans unlocked the scene in question, some weren't thrilled at…

Despite a recent spate of successful games-to-screen transitions—such as Fallout, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Arcane—publisher Ubisoft continues its endless run of cinematic misfortune.

     Intel is making its own version of AMD 3D V-cache for CPUs, but there's a catch

Intel is planning on bringing its own version of AMD 3D V-cache to its processors. Don't get too excited about it if you're a gaming aficionado, though, as the method of increasing cache isn't going to be used in an Intel CPU for gaming any time soon.

AMD's 3D V-cache tech adds a large extra slice of cache either above or below the CPU cores, massively increasing the amount of L3 cache available. More cache means the processor can store even more data without having to access your system, increasing the overall performance in games. In fact, the recently released Ryzen 7 9800X3D is currently the best gaming CPU you can buy right now, abut this 3D cache isn't a feature found on any of the latest Intel CPUs.

     Age of Empires 2 owners will now get over $100 worth of DLC for free

Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is now five years old - a rather staggering statistic, although it pales in comparison to the 25 years since the original edition of the classic RTS game first hit shelves. The series still stands tall among genre fellows such as StarCraft, Command and Conquer, and Total Annihilation, and its remaster is the cherry on top. To celebrate the occasion, Xbox Game Studios has quite the present. Starting from now, everyone who owns or buys the historical strategy spectacular will get three of its best paid expansions thrown in for free.

     FF14 server status and maintenance times - is FFXIV down?

November 15, 2024: The FF14 server status has been checked and updated.

Is FF14 down? It might be due to ongoing maintenance or server issues if you can't log on to FF14 or access your character. Before worrying about any problems with your game, you'll want to check the FF14 server status and currently scheduled maintenance times below to see if the MMO is offline.

If you can't log into FF14, it's typically because of planned maintenance. The critically acclaimed MMORPG occasionally schedules downtime to implement patches, updates, and other hotfixes or to perform maintenance on the game's servers. Developer Square Enix usually announces these well beforehand, so read on and see when future maintenance times are planned.

     Best BO6 loadouts for the current meta

What are the best Black Ops 6 loadouts? In theory, you're on a level playing field with everyone you come across in Call of Duty Black Ops 6; you all have access to the same weapons, attachments, and perks. It might not always feel that way, though, with weapons flowing in and out of the meta with each new patch. We've done the research, put in the hard yards, and figured out the best Black Ops 6 loadouts.

A new entry in the Call of Duty series brings with it new Black Ops 6 weapons and also a revamped movement system in Black Ops 6 Omnimovement. Skill expression has never been more prevalent in the FPS game, and while movement can be king, the best loadouts will put you in great stead to dominate every match you enter.

     Best BO6 and Warzone Saug loadout and class build

What is the best Saug loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone? SMGs in Black Ops 6 come in many flavors. Some offer controllable recoil, some are slow-firing but hard-hitting, and many operate in a jack-of-all-trades space. What we've been missing, however, is an SMG that is pure chaos. That is, until now. The Saug SMG is a compact maelstrom, capable of clearing rooms of hostiles without a hint of effort.

There's plenty to dig into with Black Ops 6 Season 1, but perhaps the most exciting addition to our BO6 weapons armory is the Saug. An SMG with this much raw power is an intriguing prospect; do you refine the gun to suit a bigger variety of combat situations, or do you lean into the chaos? First things first, how do you unlock the Black Ops 6 Saug?

     The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is back in stock at MSRP, if you get in quick

November 15, 2024 Since this story was published, the new stock of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has sadly already run out at Amazon.

A new influx of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D stock appears to have hit the US, with the new gaming CPU now available again on Amazon, and at its MSRP as well. That means you can pick one up for just $479, which has had the knock-on effect of pushing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D back to a more reasonable level.

You can read all about AMD's latest chip with 3D V-cache in our full Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, and we recommend it as the best gaming CPU you can buy right now. However, the new AMD chip proved so popular when it launched that it sold out immediately, and it's taken a while for stock to be replenished.

     MSI Titan 18 HX review: This high-spec gaming laptop delivers killer frame rates

This is just out of this world. There's no way around it, the MSI Titan 18 HX is the PC gaming equivalent of taking a fully-fledged $5K desktop and trying to cram it down into a small, technically portable form factor. That does come with some major caveats, for sure, but it mostly delivers on that promise. It takes the best of the gaming PC world and gives it to you on the move, tied to a mechanical keyboard and an 18-inch screen.

Let me be clear though, it isn't cheap. There are various specs of this MSI machine available, all of them with slightly varying DDR5 and SSD setups, but they're all expensive. In fact, the model I tested is actually the cheapest of the lot, with a paltry (not really) 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The highest spec you can buy comes in at a whopping $9,250, and includes 24TB of PCIe storage and 192GB of DDR5 memory (admittedly from HIDevolution). That's just mind-boggling. Best gaming laptop to date? From a technical standpoint, possibly.

     Two decades later, supremely realistic city builder Industry Giant is back on PC

Some classic PC games, like Deus Ex, Thief, and Command and Conquer may never return. Time rolls on. The future must arrive. Life can be cruel. But occasionally, we get a pleasant surprise - a game that was seemingly dead forever springs suddenly back to life. Before Cities Skylines and Manor Lords, Industry Giant was one of the biggest strategy behemoths. From the same era as Rollercoaster Tycoon, SimCity 3000, and Civilization 2, for 22 years, the series has languished in obscurity. But now it's back - a new Industry Giant game is available to play right now.

     There's a new DLSS for your Nvidia GeForce gaming GPU, here's what it does

The latest version of Nvidia DLSS has just been shrunk, simplifying the process of enabling the resolution scaling feature for GeForce graphics cards. The new release, called DLSS 3.8.10, eliminates four presets in favor of two streamlined options that combine all the features.

Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has been key to Nvidia's success with its recent graphics cards, requiring an Nvidia GPU with Tensor cores to function, and offering superior image quality to AMD FSR. In our tests, it can massively improve the frame rates in games that support it, and the latest versions even improve the eye candy, as we saw in DLSS 3.5 on Cyberpunk 2077, which uses Nvidia's ray reconstruction t3ech.

Where are the Black Ops 6 Liberty Falls bowling shoe locations? According to Treyarch, there's even fun to be had in a zombie apocalypse. Combine the slaughter with a bit of ten-pin bowling in this BO6 Liberty Falls bowling alley easter egg by collecting pairs of stylish bowling shoes from across the map.

Some Black Ops 6 Zombies easter eggs are incredibly useful, and the Aetherella statue easter egg is one such secret. If you want something a little more fun, try an easter egg that provides some respite from all that zombie killing you've been doing. In Terminus, you can race a motorboat across the Black Ops 6 map, while this Liberty Falls easter egg gives you some downtime at the local bowling alley. Don't worry, you score points by killing zombies with bowling balls, so you still get the best of both worlds.

Stalker 2 fans are calling out the game's developer after a massive shift in system requirements, which require upscaling technologies such as AMD FSR and Nvidia DLSS to hit the stated frame rates. The situation got a little hot around the collar, with one critical fan being banned from the game's Steam forums, prompting an apology from the developer.

GSC Game World changed the Stalker 2 system requirements considerably, and quite close to launch. The original specs were published when the game was expected in 2021. Since the war in Ukraine and a move to Unreal Engine 5 caused significant delays, Stalker 2 has been through a tumultuous development cycle.

The CEO of GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition developer Grove Street Games has responded to the game's latest update. Though GTA 6 is now its main focus, Rockstar recently launched a fix for the remastered versions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas which reintroduced the weather and sky effects from the original editions of each game. The opening 'splash' screen was also changed - the new version excludes any mention of Grove Street Games. The developer is still listed in the closing credits, however, but immediately following the update, there was speculation that mentions of Grove Street Games may have been removed from GTA The Trilogy entirely. In light of this, the developer's CEO describes the update as "dick move" on behalf of Rockstar, and says that it contains fixes that "stayed out of players' hands for years."

Four thousand words of notes. Hoboy. Field of Glory Colon Kingdoms is definitely thought-provoking.

It was also complaint-provoking in the fairly long period where I didn't understand what it's trying to do. Reaching that point, luckily for you, means we can cut out a lot of the "confused whingeing" subsection of those notes. Though it still has its shortcomings, I've come to appreciate that I was reading Kingdoms all wrong. Although it talks big about characters, politics, and religion, they're not what it's about.

Thunderful Games, the developers and publishers that make the colourful SteamWorld series of games, have announced a hefty number of layoffs at the company, with anywhere between 80-100 people losing their jobs. It's part of a "restructuring" that'll also see an unspecified number of game projects cancelled, said the company in a press release yesterday. As if this is not dispiriting enough, they also say it's an intentional move that'll see them making fewer games of their own and instead publishing more work by other developers.

Honkai Impact 3rd Sparkle Battlesuit Uses Honkai: Star Rail UI

HoYoVerse shared a full presentation that explained how Honkai: Star Rail Sparkle gameplay was implemented into Honkai Impact 3rd with her new Battlesuit, and it explained how the team ended up implementing one game's UI in the other for her attacks. This is done in a comedic fashion, unlike similar explanation videos taking folks behind the scenes of Honkai Impact 3rd characters, to keep with the tone of Elation.

After initially teasing some Sparkle and Vita fanservice and bringing up how her magical tricks would show in her moveset, the team got to talking about also adding teammates to her attacks. While initially they mentioned her turning into allies, they then decided to bring the Honkai: Star Rail UI into her moveset for her finisher. At this point, it mimics when she would use her The Hero with a Thousand Faces Ultimate in her original game. The showcase then shifts to gameplay footage to show how this works in-game.

Here's a screenshot from the showcase that shows how the Sparkle Battlesuit will include the Honkai: Star Rail UI when used in Honkai Impact 3rd

Prior to this reveal and footage, we did get to see quite a bit of Sparkle in the crossover. One cinematic trailer pitted her against Honkai Impact 3rd's Vita. Another highlighted elements of her design, brought up details about her Battlesuit elements, and teased equipment for her. 

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on the PC and mobile devices. Honkai: Star Rail is on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The Honkai: Star Rail crossover event with Sparkle will appear in Honkai Impact 3rd on November 28, 2024.

4 VShojo Nova Vtubers Debut

VShojo officially revealed its new Vtubers on social media, and it is a four-person of Japanese performers group known as VShojo Nova. The group consists of the previously teased, bilingual streamer Hestia Happiness, as well as apparent newcomers Akatsuki Hotaru, Okamoto Nagi, and Yutori Peke.

First, here's the full VShojo Nova announcement, which shows art of the four Vtubers joining the company. As expected, they are all Japanese. There's no notice about a debut date yet, but the social media accounts and both Twitch and YouTube accounts for each of them are available.

https://twitter.com/vshojojp/status/1857257223757734045?s=61

Here's the list of where you can find and follow all four of the new performers. No schedules are live on their video accounts.

As Hestia streamed before, you can find saved videos and song covers on her pages.

So far, Hestia is the only one who seems to be joining with an existing identity. Hotaru, Nagi, and Peke's accounts are all new and don't include any past content. As such, we don't know if they are complete newcomers or perhaps entertainment veterans. In addition to Hestia posting in English in the past, Hotaru also made two tweets with English in them

We still haven't heard any news about new English-speaking Vtubers for VShojo. The company opened auditions for them in July 2024, not long after putting out a call for folks for the Japanese branch. This means we could see the company grow further either at the end of 2024 or beginning of 2025.

VShojo Nova is on the way, though there is no debut date for the generation yet.

Koei Tecmo has opened pre-orders for its upcoming figure based on Marie Rose's Steamy Venus skin in the Azur Lane crossover event with Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation. The company will release the figure in December 2025.

Koei Tecmo's own web store can only deliver the figures domestically inside Japan. However, the company is working with AmiAmi to release the product worldwide. The latter will exclusively ship the figures outside Japan.

The figure will be available in two editions. The regular edition has a price tag of 25,300 yen (~$161.52). There will also be a DX edition that costs more at 27,500 yen ($175.57). The latter will come with additional hair parts that let Marie Rose untie her twin tails.

Here are the sample images comparing the regular edition with the DX-exclusive twin tail hair parts. Note that due to the nature of the figure, the following images are marked NSFW (Not Safe For Work).

Koei Tecmo has been working on the new figure throughout 2024. The company first announced the plan in January 2024. It then shared images of the unpainted prototype in July 2024. The figure is slated for release in December 2025, so the company still has around a year to finish the figure's mass production and ship it worldwide.

The Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation - Azur Lane crossover figure of Marie Rose in her Steamy Venus skin will be available in December 2025. Koei Tecmo will close the pre-order window for the figure on February 16, 2025.

Monster Hunter Rathalos Plate In Real Life

U-Treasure revealed that it will sell and produce the Rathalos Plate from the Monster Hunter games in real life. The Japanese jewelry brand had previously released wedding rings and necklaces inspired by the monsters, but this time around it will attempt to produce a collector item based on an actual carved item from the games.

Pre-orders for the product are immediately available on U-Treasure's website at 33,000 yen. The site also allows international shipping via the WorldShopping widget, which puts the item at around $212.95.

This product is supposed to be modeled after the rare item carved from the original red wyvern Rathalos. However, U-Treasure will use Silver 925 with Rhodium coating to produce it. The plate will therefore look more reminiscent of the rare species Silver Rathalos.

U-Treasure will only produce 200 copies of the real-life silver Rathalos Plate. It will encase each item inside a box branded with the Monster Hunter series' 20th-anniversary logo.

Here are some of the sample images for the product:

The silver Rathalos Plate from the Monster Hunter series is available for purchase in the real world until December 18, 2024, or all of the allocated 200 items have been ordered.

Persona 3 Reload event at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise has announced that it will hold a new crossover event based on Persona 3 Reload. The event will run from January 2025 until mid-February 2025.

This will be the second time the amusement park holds a Persona 3 Reload crossover event. It had previously held the first event in February 2024. While the first event had the game's protagonist in the key visual, Sea Paradise features Aegis to distinguish the second event.

Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise has yet to provide details about the new event. But when it held the first event, it sold 6,000 yen tickets that came with a S.E.E.S. rubber band and a stamp rally sheet. The latter rewarded a random sticker based on one of the nine characters from Persona 3 Reload.

The Japanese announcement tweet for the upcoming second event is also available to view right below:

Atlus has been working with many venues across Japan to hold crossover events involving Persona. One such example is RED° Tokyo Tower, which held a Persona 3 Reload event from December 2023 to January 2024. The same facility also had a Persona 5 Tactica event in November-December 2023.

The Persona 3 Reload event at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise will run from January 9, 2025, until February 17, 2025.
