Kotaku Sunday, December 19, 2021 3:00 PM  If there's one thing Halo fans like more than playing Halo games, it's ranking Halo games. Now that Halo Infinite, the latest in a long lineage of stellar first-person shooters, has been out for a bit, two of Kotaku's big series fans—staff writer Ari Notis and weekend editor Zack Zweizen—figured it as good a time as… |

Kotaku Sunday, December 19, 2021 11:45 AM  Resident Evil Village is a great game! It's easily one of my favorite games of 2021. But it's also a game that can, at times, be scary or tricky to get through. So, I was surprised to see stats showing it as the most completed video game released in 2021. |

PCGamesN Sunday, December 19, 2021 1:14 PM  The first raid for Final Fantasy XIV's new Endwalker expansion is coming this week along with update 6.01. Fans will have to survive eight hours of the MMO being offline for maintenance but when it's back up they'll be able to try out Pandaemonium at last. The first Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker raid release time is December 21 at 2:00 AM PST / 5:00 AM EST / 10:00 AM GMT / 7 PM JST, which is the same time as update 6.01 drops. Before that, the game will be offline for a full eight hours of maintenance - not that many will notice, that's about average for queue times since the Endwalker expansion launched. As previously confirmed in the last roadmap, when the 6.01 patch drops on Tuesday it'll give access to the first high-end raid for the Endwalker expansion - Pandaemonium, or specifically the normal difficulty of the raid's first tier, Pandaemonium: Asphodelos. Two weeks from then on January 4, 2022, the Savage difficulty will drop with version 6.05. RELATED LINKS: The best MMOs on PC, FFXIV Reaper job guide, FFXIV Sage job guide |
PCGamesN Sunday, December 19, 2021 12:12 PM  After many years of teases, rumours, and waiting, From Software's latest action-RPG Elden Ring is nearly here. With just two months to go, Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin - who helped shape the game's world - has given his impression of Elden Ring, although he admits he's more of a strategy game fan. Elden Ring has long been confirmed as a collaboration between From Software, Dark Souls mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki, and A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin. Earlier this year, Martin revealed that although he had a hand in the characters and world-building, his work on Elden Ring was completed "years ago". Back in 2019, George R. R. Martin accidentally revealed the existence of Elden Ring on his blog. In his latest blog post, however, Martin adds a bit of history to his association with From Software - saying that the team wanted him to help create "a deep, dark, resonant world to serve as a foundation for the game they planned to create". "I love creating worlds and writing imaginary history," he adds. RELATED LINKS: Elden Ring system requirements, Elden Ring has the best demo, Elden Ring's four pre-order editions |
PCGamesN Sunday, December 19, 2021 11:02 AM  The Epic Games Store holiday celebration is in full swing and users are once again getting treated to a daily free game, and today's title is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - one of the best "walking sim" exploration games around, which is also making its debut on Epic's store. Yesterday Epic users were treated to a copy of one of the best Soulslikes of the last few years, Remnant: From The Ashes, so hopefully everyone who wanted that picked that up because the 24 hours are up and a new game is available now - and it's still one of the best detective/exploration games on PC, not to mention a gorgeous one. Head here to grab it, just make sure to do so within the next 24 hours. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was released all the way back in 2014 on Steam before the Epic Games Store was even a thing. Our reviewer enjoyed it but said that it wasn't without issues, so it's lucky that developer The Astronauts released an Unreal Engine 4-powered Redux edition a year later. |
PCGamesN Sunday, December 19, 2021 10:11 AM  It's probably safe to say that most people who aren't Ubisoft are not fond of NFTs. The good news is that modders have the perfect way of dealing with any NFT frustrations - by shooting them in Doom and earning as much money as possible doing so. NFTs are all the rage these days, and it's mostly rage directed against them. The Game Awards outright banned them along with discussion about them, and Valve has put the hammer down about having them on Steam along with any "applications built on blockchain technology". In the shooter space, any plans for STALKER 2 to have NFTs have been cancelled - but Ubisoft is still barrelling ahead with them into Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Players need an outlet to express their rage, and as usual, Doom is the perfect place. The first version of the Doom NFT mod by Ultra Boi is out now on ModDB and it replaces all the enemies in the game with various different types of bored NFT monkey art.
