PCGamesN Tuesday, November 15, 2022 9:53 AM  Competitive players always use the best Warzone 2 assault rifles as these weapons are highly versatile. Depending on which assault rifle you opt for, you can easily cover close, medium, and long range without breaking a sweat. These weapons are typically a nailed on starter in most loadouts, often being paired alongside the best Warzone 2 SMGs or sniper rifles to create a well-rounded build. The best Warzone 2 assault rifle is currently the M4. This weapon used to be a staple back when the first Warzone launched but slowly fell out of favour as new guns were added to the battle royale game. What makes the M4 so special is its ease of use - both new and experienced players won't have any problems using this gun as it has very little recoil.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 15, 2022 9:08 AM  The best Destiny 2 Void Warlock builds will have your Guardian taking down anyone who steps near them. The Void elemental class has some of the most powerful builds in the game within, and as a result, is a popular pick for the Warlock across all modes. Destiny 2 introduced its Void 3.0 overhaul into the FPS game several seasons ago, and even though it has since introduced its Solar 3.0 and Arc 3.0 overhauls, many players agree that the Void elemental class can offer players some of the most powerful builds in the game.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 15, 2022 9:09 AM  The best Destiny 2 Void Hunter builds put ads and opposing Guardians alike up in arms. Focusing on stealth, the Void Hunter is fun to play in raids, Crucible, seasonal activities, and everything else Destiny 2 has to offer.

However, the Void Hunter remains practical and fun to play, rendering it a favourite subclass for Hunter mains in the popular FPS game. The following Destiny 2 Void Hunter builds use mods, Exotic armour, Aspects, and Fragments to maximise their impact. Using the power of Dodge and Invisibility, any Hunter can equip these setups.

Layla is a new four-star Cryo character who uses swords. Heizou is an Anemo catalyst wielder. Thoma is a Pyro-type who fights with polearms. As for the Epitome Invocation weapon banner, the two five-star weapons are designed with Childe and Yae Miko in mind. There's a Polar Star bow and a Kagura's Verity catalyst. The featured four-stars this time are The Bell (claymore), Dragon's Bane (polearm), Favonius Codex (catalyst), Favonius Sword, and The Stringless (bow).

Those in Japan who want a taste of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -Crimson Sin- can get themselves a double demo helping. Developer Nihon Falcom released not one, but two versions to the PlayStation Store. Available on both the PS4 and PS5, the demos cover both the game's battle system and a bit of its main narrative [Thanks, Game Watch!]. The Kuro no Kiseki II demo versions both went live on the Japanese PSN store on November 15, 2022. One demo is called the Battle Trial, and the other is the Story Trial. Each demo separates the different playable aspects of the game. The Battle Trial showcases Crimson Sin's combat system, furnishing players with two playable parties and letting them explore and battle freely. The demo is set inside the Marchengarten, Kuro no Kiseki II's in-game virtual world construct. The Battle Trial replicates the timed demo available on the show floor at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show, but without a time limit. Meanwhile, the second Kuro no Kiseki II Crimson Sin demo is the Story Trial. The Story Trial is essentially the beginning of the game, allowing players to experience a substantial part of the early game. Interested players can play through the Story Trial normally, seeing what else the Legend of Heroes' new Calvard arc has in store. They'll be able to control Van Arkride and his companions as they investigate a deadly massacre in Calvard's capital of Edith. Players will be able to take their save data from the Story Trial and bring it over to the full game, should they decide to purchase it.

Blue Protocol, Bandai Namco's upcoming online action-RPG, got an updated release date window during its November 15, 2022. The new launch window for it is early Spring 2023. This seems to only apply to Japan. However, the presentation also noted Blue Protocol will appear at TGA 2022. [Thanks, Game Watch!] This means more details about a potential worldwide release are on the way. When games show up at The Game Awards, they are always geared toward a worldwide audience. The presentation also confirmed this will involve news for people overseas. However, it didn't mention any details about when. A new trailer also appeared following the event, which you can see below: Since announcing the game, there have been periods when very little Blue Protocol details appeared. For example, regular updates appeared throughout 2020. However, in 2021 things tapered off. We only learned about the Heavy Smasher class and that L'arc en Ciel's "Mirai" would be used for the opening movie. Blue Protocol is in development for PCs and its new release date will fall in 2023 in Japan. It is unknown if it will eventually appear on other platforms as well.

Makoto Shinkai's latest film, Suzume no Tojimari (a.k.a. Suzume) broke records for the Your Name. director. The film premiered in Japan on November 11, 2022. According to box office figures, Suzume earnings topped 1.88 billion Yen (about $13.5 million USD) in less than three days, making it the top-charted film in Japan for the weekend. The numbers also exceeded those of his previous films, Your Name. and Weathering With You. These make Suzume the strongest-performing film of Makoto Shinkai's, in terms of first-weekend returns. The news of Suzume earnings records was trumpeted by the film's official Twitter account. https://twitter.com/suzume_tojimari/status/1592042398120816640 In addition to the Suzume earnings figures, the tweet also noted that more than 1.33 million tickets were sold that weekend in Japan. It also boasted that Suzume's "journey" has just begun, seeing as the film's international showings are still in the queue. Suzume is set to premiere in over 199 countries worldwide, making it one of the widest-ever distributions of a single director's work. Suzume follows the titular high schooler from Kyushu in Japan. Suzume encounters Souta, a young man who is "looking for a door". That door, a mysterious portal standing upright in the middle of ruins, unleashes a series of catastrophes when Suzume accidentally opens it. Suzume and Souta must then work together to close a series of doors all across Japan. The one catch: Suzume might have to do most of the heavy lifting, seeing as Souta's been turned into a child-size, three-legged chair. Suzume is in theaters in Japan. Its international release is set for 2023, to be handled by Wild Bunch and Crunchyroll outside of Asia.

The latest Bleach anime production is headed for a physical release in Japan. In early 2023, people will be able to purchase the first 13 episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War on Blu-ray and DVD. The episodes will be collected into a single volume physical release, with a limited-run edition for those that want more. The first volume goes on sale on April 26, 2023 in Japan. [Thanks Comic Natalie!] To commemorate the release, Tokyo's Animate Hall Black event space will hold a release event. Members of the voice cast will be in attendance, including Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki) and Noriaki Sugiyama (Uryuu Ishida). Fans who pre-order the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Blu-ray or DVD will receive a lottery ticket giving them a chance to participate in the event. The formal title of the first Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Blu-ray and DVD release is "Arc I." This further confirms the announcement that the series is separated into four separate "cours" - blocks of episodes. Thus "Arc I" is also the first cour of the series. Future releases will likely contain subsequent arcs. Officially, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is divided into four production cours. If each cour is 13 episodes long, like the first, then fans can expect the whole arc to last 52 episodes. A physical release can also be expected to be split into four volumes. The remaining question would be regarding the timing of the cours themselves. Anime that air continuously throughout the year are rare these days. Even lengthy serializations like My Hero Academia have their productions divided into seasons, with months-long breaks in-between. If that's the case with Bleach, fans could be watching the show well into 2024, depending on the length of the interval. The first Blu-ray and DVD volume of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will release on April 23, 2023 in Japan. The release event will take place on May 7, 2023. The series is currently airing on various streaming services, including Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Bilibili. The manga can be read in Shonen Jump, with English volumes published by Viz Media.

Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel introduced Team Battle, which will allow duelists to engage in 3v3 or 5v5 battles. It will not be a free-for-all, but rather a tournament style. Each team will send out a player for each round, and the team with the most victories wins. Konami also announced a new Battle Trajectory selection pack, which is available for duelists to pull on in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. Team Battles will be competitive, but there does not appear to be a limit on rank. This means that casual players can be on the same team as a higher-ranked duelist. You can also set up deck restrictions. For example, you can set it so that both players can only use a certain type of special summon. You can always participate in Team Battle in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, whether solo or with a set team. Battle Trajectory focuses on Pendulum Monsters from the Performapal and Odd-Eyes archetypes. Fans of the anime may recognize these archetypes, as they are Yuya Sakaki's signature cards. Yuya is the protagonist of Arc-V. There is also the chance to get Vaylantz cards when pulling from the Battle Trajectory pack. Vaylantz also uses Pendulum Zones but focuses more on manipulating your opponent's cards' positions. Finally, this update adds the Visas Starfrost icon and Vaylantz card protectors for you to spruce up your profile or deck. Both of these are available from the storefront. Like other icons or card sleeves, you can purchase them with gems. Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel is available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, mobile devices, and Windows PC.

Zoid Kirsch, one of the developers of Metroid Prime, shared some behind-the-scenes information on why morph ball doors exist in the game. This is the twelfth entry in Kirsch's stories in regards to Metroid Prime and its development. All of them honor the game's upcoming anniversary. According to Kirsch, the ball door exists to prevent the player from falling into the void. If players fell, they would have to restart the game. On occasion in Metroid Prime, a player may move a bit too quickly through a morph ball puzzle or a boost sends them through the tunnel. When this happens, the player has traveled too fast for the game's load. This means that if they enter the next room, the player would simply fall into the abyss. As a solution, Kirsch manually went through the game and added little doors to tunnels between rooms. If the next room isn't ready, Samus will bump into it and the door will keep her safe, opening up only when the next room has finished loading. Technically speaking, if you play Metroid Prime at a normal pace, you should never see the doors. This is because the game does its best to finish loading up a room before Samus enters it. Metroid Prime came out in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube as the first of the Metroid Prime saga of games. Like other Metroid games, the protagonist is Samus Aran, a bounty hunter who battles Space Pirates. The game won multiple awards and sold around 2.8 million units worldwide. Nintendo later released an updated version for the Nintendo Wii in 2009. Kirsch will continue to tweet about behind-the-scenes stories in regards to Metroid Prime. He announced that he would tweet out a story every day until November 18, 2022, which is the 20th anniversary of the game's initial release.

One advantage that PC gaming has over consoles is that you can very easily install mods into your game. This means that theoretically, you could mod your Genshin Impact game. There are videos and screenshots online of players showing this off. So yes, there are mods in Genshin Impact. But now the question is: is it legal? The short answer is: no. The long answer is: still no. Technically speaking, if you use mods, you are breaking one of the terms of service that you had to agree to when you first started playing Genshin Impact. You are not allowed to interfere with the game's source code in any way, which modding (whether making or using the mod) will do. Because HoYoVerse forbids mods, you cannot easily find them through public sites. This is why most Genshin Impact mods are only on private websites or servers. However, HoYoVerse prohibits the usage of private servers and will ban players it catches someone using them. Private servers take away the monetization aspect of Genshin Impact and allow players to have all the characters and weapons they want. You can also mod the game (since it is offline from HoYoVerse's servers) without worry of HoYoVerse detecting you. Again, though, HoYoVerse strictly prohibits mods and private servers, and will ban your account if it finds you using them. Due to Genshin Impact having a free-to-play business model, it does rely on money from gacha pulls to fund itself. This is why online games like Genshin Impact are so strict about mods when compared to games such as Resident Evil 2 or The Sims.
