Kotaku Wednesday, July 3, 2024 5:10 PM  The 4th of July is a day for jingoistic mythmaking and summer merriment.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 3, 2024 12:30 PM  Controller snobbery is in decline among PC gamers, with the proportion of Steam users playing on a PC controller tripling over the last six years. That doesn't mean the classic keyboard and mouse combo is being spurned for first-person shooters, of course, but it does mean that PC gamers are now much more likely to reach for a pair of thumbsticks in some games. According to Valve, the Xbox controller is the most popular design, commanding a 59% share among Steam gamers playing with a controller. We're inclined to agree with their choice too, as the current Xbox Wireless Controller is our favorite overall choice when it comes to finding the best PC controller right now.

Sony announced that Spinmaster will make action figures of characters from the games Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, and God of War Ragnarok. The first one will be Aloy, which is expected to ship in August 2024 and costs $49.99 at Amazon.
The Horizon Forbidden West Aloy figure is six inches tall. She comes with six pairs of hands, with various poses, so she can hold her equipment. She also has five face plates, with different expressions and paint on them. She is fully posable, with joints in areas like her shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips, with 42 articulation points total. She also comes armed with the bow and spear she uses in the game, and you can make it look like she's aiming one arrow from the quiver that can be displayed on her back.
Here's a closer look at the figure and her accessories both inside and outside of the box.
This follows the announcement of a more expensive Horizon Forbidden West Aloy figure. Prime 1 Studio announced a $1,200 one back in May 2024. However, it is a static figure and not articulated.
The next four figures are all due to appear in September 2024. As such, pre-orders aren't live for them yet. However, Sony did confirm those will start appearing on June 15, 2024. Aloy will be joined by Varl from Horizon Forbidden West. Meanwhile, the God of War figures are of Kratos and Atreus and the Ghost of Tsushima one is of Jin Sakai.
Here's how the initial photos for those look:

As part of the Life is Strange: Double Exposure Ultimate Edition, people will get a FFVII Outfit Pack for Max. Ahead of the game's launch in October 2024, Square Enix offered a first look at a Moogle outfit that Max can wear on social media.
We had an idea of how the Max Moogle outfit pack costume inspired by the mascot in FFVII would look thanks to the Microsoft Store product page for the Ultimate Edition. It featured thumbnails for all of the five pieces of costume DLC would look. However, it didn't give us an idea of how it could appear in-action in-game. The new screenshot shows Max in-game, sitting on a bench with snow in the background, as she is wearing the Moogle hat and white coat.
Here's how that looks:
The FFVII Moogle outfit is the only crossover costume confirmed for Max in Life is Strange: Double Exposure. The $79.99 Ultimate Edition also gives buyers Decades, Fan Favorite, Paw Prints, and Spooky Outfit Packs for the character. People will also get "exclusive cat content." The Decades and Spooky Outfit Packs will also be available in the $59.99 Deluxe Edition.

A scale figure of Hu Tao from Genshin Impact is available to pre-order on AmiAmi. The figure is "Fragrance in Thaw," which is the name of her Collected Miscellany trailer.
The Genshin Impact Hu Tao figure costs 26,880 JPY, or $166.37. It'll come out some time in August 2025. As a 1/7 scale figure, it stands at around 27 centimeters in height. AmiAmi also offers a clear file as a pre-order bonus. It shows Hu Tao under the night sky while she's surrounded by butterflies of light. The back of the file is red with the Genshin Impact logo. It's not for sale, meaning that you can only get this (from AmiAmi) as part of this pre-order.
The Hu Tao figure shows her posing with the Staff of Homa, which is her signature weapon. She strikes a playful pose, with one hand tipping her hat and her leg in the air behind her. She's standing on a rock, with a Silk Flower bush, her little ghost friend, and a lantern around her. There is blue at the very bottom of the base, as if to emulate water.

Ellen is the first S-rank Agent available for a limited time in Zenless Zone Zero, and the latest trailer shows off a little gameplay. However, it's also interspersed with more cinematic scenes highlighting her time with friends and classmates and personality.
Things start by showing Ellen during her downtime. Some of her friends surprise her at a cafe. They take a photo together. The group heads to an arcade to play games. We also see two of them using Ellen's shark tail to scratch off a lottery ticket (and winning). However, as they're all relaxing, she gets a Victoria Housekeeping message that sends her off to work in a Hollow, handling some enemies.
It's then that we see how Ellen works in battle with footage that highlights her gameplay in Zenless Zone Zero. She's a slashing type of attack character, which we see with her harpoon-like weapon. She also deals ice damage, and that's highlighted in her moves.
Here's the full Ellen Zenless Zone Zero trailer showing off gameplay and quieter moments.
Her last trailer was purely a cinematic one and highlighted how different her after-school work life is than her daily activities with friends.
You can get Ellen in Zenless Zone Zero between July 4-24, 2024. After that, her banner will end and you'll need to wait for an eventual rerun to recruit her.
Zenless Zone Zero comes to the PS5, PC, and mobile devices on July 4, 2024.

VShojo Japan opened up applications for Vtubers. You can sign up for an audition through the official site.
Applications will close on August 1, 2024 at 4pm JST. That would be 12am PT/3am ET on the same date. You will receive a response about a month after August 1, 2024. As well, you must include a self-promotional video (as a public media file in Google Drive) that's about two minutes long. There is a reminder that even if you pass, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a debut. Since this is specifically for VShojo Japan, the application form is in Japanese. It didn't specify, but because it's looking for a Japanese talent, you should be fluent in the language.
VShojo is a US-based VTuber agency that started in 2020. Its talents include Ironmouse (who was one of the founders), Kson (who is a member of the Japanese branch), and Matara Kan. Former members from the company include Amemiya Nazuna, Veibae, and Silvervale. VShojo operates a little differently from other major VTuber agencies in that VTubers can freely upgrade their outfits, as well as retain the rights to their characters or models even when they leave.
Applications for VShojo Japan will close on August 1, 2024.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 3, 2024 5:50 PM  Viper and Pictomancer are the two new jobs added to Final Fantasy XIV with the Dawntrail expansion, and while painting cute pictures sounds like a fun time, most people lean toward the former's dual blades and flashy moveset. The Viper Job in Final Fantasy XIV may seem like just another bog standard melee DPS class at first glance, but it has an extensive moveset with 100 levels of skills to learn. It forgoes party utility and buffs in favor of raw damage output, making the Viper Job similar to Samurai.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 3, 2024 5:37 PM  Honestly, the JAK Purifier is just a meme weapon in MW3, so the only reason you'll want to unlock it and get kills is for Season 4. Or because you just want to piss off your opponents. Anyone would think an underslung flamethrower would be a beast, but it just kind of isn't. How to unlock the JAK Purifier in MW3 Initially, the JAK Purifier was only able to be unlocked in MW3 during Season 1 of the battle pass. However, now, in MW3 Season 4, it rears its ugly, flaming head once more. To unlock it, you must simply complete daily challenges with it selected from your armoury unlocks.
