It's a question that will occur to many Guardians when this mysterious object is mentioned, as it is by many characters, during Destiny 2 Lightfall's campaign. It's especially unusual because Bungie is usually pretty good at seeding the many Proper Nouns in Destiny's notoriously oblique lore, and The Veil's ubiquity is relatively sudden. But worry not - in this guide we'll lay out everything we currently know about The Veil in Destiny 2, what it is, why everyone seems to want it, and where it came from. Be warned there are some spoilers ahead for the Destiny 2 Lightfall campaign, and that there's plenty Bungie has yet to reveal. Continue reading What is the Veil in Destiny 2 Lightfall?

PCGamesN Wednesday, March 1, 2023 1:31 PM  Destiny 2 character boosts let you expedite progress through the game on your alternate characters. As of Lightfall, character boosts allow players to skip the campaign on alternative accounts or bring their alternate characters to the game's soft cap… for a fee. The primary benefit of character boosts in Destiny 2 is that they open access to some of the game's best content on your alternate characters without requiring you to complete the same Power level grind or campaign grind on all characters. While this is a convenient and time-saving way to level your character in the FPS game, it also has drawbacks. Still, it's an attractive option for people who want to bypass the grind to prepare for day one Destiny 2 Lightfall raid experiences or don't have time to repeat the campaign on two more characters.

PCGamesN Wednesday, March 1, 2023 12:25 PM  Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 64 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favourites can be challenging. Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. That being said, if your favourite Genshin Impact character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine.

Every piece of gear and weaponry you equip in Destiny 2 has a power level - a number that denotes how powerful that piece of equipment is. Your overall power level is an average of all of your equipped items and indicates just how strong you are currently. There are challenges in the free PC game require a certain power level in order to be possible; if you're too low, the enemies will shrug your attacks off like they're nothing, even if you're using one of the new Lightfall exotics. The 'soft cap' is the first tier of power level you're looking to reach in Destiny 2, and is a great platform so you can start thinking about the upcoming Lightfall raid.

In order to open cans of food in Sons of the Forest, you'll need to find the can opener location.

"I was living on an island, totally cut off from my friends and creative community of the last couple decades, I was completely out of touch and had nobody to talk me out of it. It just seemed like a fun thing to do… until I did it." Laidlaw first discovered that community in the mid 90s, in the office of Valve, where Gabe Newell and team were already hard at work on Half-Life. "I'd seen bits and pieces of the levels they were working on, but as soon as I heard the name, I just got this amazing buzz," Laidlaw says. "I could see the whole world they were aiming at somehow, and I felt it was a collective vision. This is one reason it's so weird to me when people try to attribute authorship to me that I've never felt. It was all there when I got there, in embryo." |

Ochette is one of Octopath Traveler 2's best characters, as the hunter is just incredible. Her Provoke ability is phenomenal for fights. She's also just generally adorable. I highly recommend using her whenever you can, so here are some tips for making the most of her abilities. How Do You Recruit Ochette in Octopath Traveler 2If you don't start with Ochette as your first character, you'll find her in the Beasting Village in Toto'haha. How Does Ochette Work in Octopath Traveler 2Ochette is amazing, and it is all because of Provoke. She can have six not-story-relevant monsters by her side at all time. You can also turn an Auto-Capture function on, to add a random chance of capturing any monster she defeats. So frankly, because of its versatility, I recommend relying on that. Here's the full list of Hunter skills Ochette can learn in Octopath Traveler 2. Note that you can only get Draefendi's Bow after learning all of the other skills.
All of the hunter skills are great, and to be frank you want to learn all seven as soon as possible. That's because all four Support Skills are fantastic for Ochette. Heighten Senses makes her act first, which is good for capturing monsters. You get that at four skills. You also get More Rare Monsters at six skills, which means potentially better allies to summon with Provoke. Eagle Eye is great, since her critical rate goes up by 50. You get that after learning five skills. Finally, Salt in the Wound is the seven skill unlock. Since the official description says it best, "The equpping character has a 50% chance of acting twice when breaking a foe. This will not trigger in succession." Her Talent is just to Prepare monsters she isn't using. This turns them into food. It's used for Befriending. However, you can also use it to heal. Also, her Animal Instincts Latent Power limit break is wonderful. It enables you to use Beastly Claws, Beastly Fangs, or Beastly Howl once. Beastly Howl is good, due to lowering all defenses and Shield Points, so I like to save it for bosses. The same goes for Beastly Fangs, which is a super strong single enemy attack. With Beastly Claws, that's a good one to pull out when facing general enemies, as it attacks everyone.
What About Ochette Octopath Traveler 2 Path Actions?Okay, so Ochette has one super helpful Path Action and one that's only so-so in Octopath Traveler 2. Befriend is great! It's a NPC-recruiting action that lets you bring an NPC along to use in battle or complete side stories. It's tied to the food she "prepares" from monsters she "captures" too. So if you're pushing yourself and venturing into high level areas, you can get access to folks you normally couldn't, due to Temenos' level being too low to guide them or Agnea's Allure depending on chance. Not to mention it's cheaper than Partitio's Hire. She can also Provoke someone. This is basically a way to knock them out in the same way Throne can Ambush or Castti can Soothe. Like Hikari's Challenge, it's a daytime action. However, I've really only ever needed it for side stories like "The Late Riser," so… it's not the best! Which Secondary Jobs are Good for Ochette in Octopath Traveler 2Honestly, Ochette's Provoke is so good that you might not even find yourself needing to use any job skills. It's just wonderful. If you do, then going with an Octopath Traveler 2 secondary job that add additional weapons to Ochette's repertoire can be helpful. Armsmaster gives her everything, which can't hurt. If you're using Ochette as an attacker, giving her the warrior class adds the sword and spear to the axe and bow she always uses. If you're leaning into her hunter skills as a means of debuffing, then the thief and its complementary skills and sword and dagger weapon access works well. Octopath Traveler 2 is available for the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. A demo is available. The post What to Know About Ochette in Octopath Traveler 2 appeared first on Siliconera. |

In the past, Producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed that you can pet the dog Torgal, in FFXVI. Now, he's elaborated on this statement at the end of an interview between Yoshida, Combat Director Ryota Suzuki, and the 4Gamer interviewer about how the development team built the game for players who are not good at action games. Players will be able to manually order Torgal around and reward him for a job well done. [Thanks, 4Gamer!] While the hurdle for the difficulty of the action is allegedly fairly low in FFXVI, to make it fun for beginners, more experienced action players can customize the game to make it more challenging. This is through making a lot of the controls manual. For example, you can manually flip through your summons, give Torgal orders, use items, and such. So you will have more things to juggle in the midst of combat. If FFXVI players do not wish to manually control Torgal, his AI will perform the most optimal action in whatever situation you're in. As well, Clive's status does not matter when you give orders to Torgal. This means that even if Clive takes a hit that would otherwise mess up your combo, you can order Torgal to attack before the hit lands. If Torgal's attack goes through, your combo will remain unbroken. You can also use this logic to add variety to y our combos. If you do so, Yoshida said that he hopes that you will give Torgal the dog lots of pats, since his expressions are "very cute." Final Fantasy XVI will come out for the PS5 on June 22, 2023.

Sometimes, an Octopath Traveler 2 side story like "Proof of Innocence" can be fairly easy to complete, but you might not know how unless you're paying attention. In this case, you can get Meylan the guard's quest, then pretty much immediately solve it. However, you may not know to consider the Sickly Woman to do so. People can pick up this side story by talking to Meylan outside the Timberrain courthouse during the day.

Square Enix made an official TikTok account for FFXIV. As of the time of writing, it is not following any other accounts and it has around 1,500 followers. There is only one video thus far, and it is of a Chocobo shuffling to the Eorzean version of the Chocobo theme song. According to the Twitter announcement, the FFXIV Twitter account is for posting unique FFXIV videos, as well as news. The Twitter account will remain the main hub of information though. It is unknown if there will be news exclusive to the TikTok account, as well as how it will deliver them. Other brands that have embraced TikTok tend to use memes and current trends to remain relevant in the algorithm. Because of the popularity of FFXIV, it is a game people may see often on TikTok. There are TikToks in which players use their Warriors of Light to enact skits. Some other users create edits of scenes or characters from the game. That it is separate from Square Enix's official TikTok is likely due to FFXIV having enough content to sustain its own entire account. Users will also be able to use FFXIV music for their own TikToks. According to Square Enix's rules and guidelines, you can only use them on the TikTok platform. As well, like most other copyrighted sounds on the app, only a minute of the track is available for you to use. FFXIV is readily available on the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC.

I've been around animals for a long time. Both as someone who's owned a cat and volunteered in a shelter, I've seen a lot. There are a lot of accessories for pets that can end up being more about form than function. Especially if it gets into the range of costumes. Like I loved the Kirby cat hat I subjected my late cat too, but it wasn't all that well made and it was more of a thing I'd coerce him into wearing for a few pictures, then need to take off because it was "delicate." It's a nice change of pace to see the Pawsonify Persona 5 Royal cat accessories are instead the sort of daily life items you can actually use. I ended up being sent two items to check out in person. One is the Persona 5 Royal Panther ID tag, and the other is the Phantom Thieves cat collar. Normally the former would be $22, engraving included, and the latter $20. After seeing both in person, the pricing isn't unreasonable. This is a hard metal tag with multiple colors and a relatively intricate design. I've paid upwards of $10 for engraved, plain brass tags before. The collar is made of nylon and is fairly strong. There's a plastic breakaway fastener, which when I tested (when not on the cat) had no trouble pulling apart under stress. I'd feel safe leaving it on Callie the cat at all times. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="953242,953243" link="file"] What I appreciated about the tag itself is that this does feel like an enamel tag with a protective finish, as well as a sturdy metal. The last time I got a novelty tag for a pet, it involved a How to Train Your Dragons Toothless finish. Because of the nature of it and no protective coating, various dings and scratches meant part of Toothless' face was gone after almost two years. I could see this Persona 5 Royal Panther ID tag lasting for years, due to the design. It's also appreciated that the Pawsonify products allowed me to customize the Persona 5 Royal cat collar ever so slightly. The subject of this analysis and photo shoot is skittish around certain sorts of noises, like car alarms, door bells, knocking on doors, and — inconveniently — bells. The nature of it means that I could remove the bell once her discomfort became evident. (Note that no cats were harmed over the course of this assessment. I rewarded the participant with ample treats.) [gallery size="full" ids="953246,953244,953245" link="file"] Another helpful bonus is that the Persona 5 Royal cat collar does feel durable and sturdy, but it isn't too wide or thick. There have been issues with what kinds of collars Callie can actually wear. If it's too wide, she will kick at it until it comes off. If it is too thick or has too many embellishments or tabs, she will scratch at her neck due to the irritation. She's been wearing this collar for over three days now and shown no discomfort whatsoever. It almost seems like she doesn't realize it is there, which is an ideal situation. I do wish the character art of people like Joker and Fox was a bit more distinct on it, but this is teh cat-size collar and it might be more evident on a dog collar or leash. It honestly seems like the Pawsonify line of Persona 5 Royal cat and dog items fall into the sweet spot of properly citing source material and being something you could actually use. The collar and tag seem durable enough that I could use them without any concerns on a daily basis. The sizing is such that our test subject Callie actually didn't care about being forced to wear it, which is quite a feat. It also is a faithful reproduction of iconic designs, though people getting the cat collar The Persona 5 Royal Pawsonify cat and dog accessories are available now.

Atlus and Pawsonify announced a collection of cat and dog accessories based on Persona 5 Royal. The selection includes collars, ID tags, and a leach with designs based upon characters and motifs from the series. All items are immediately available. Four characters from Persona 5 Royal are represented in the cat and dog pet accessories at Pawsonify. Joker, Ann "Panther" Takamaki, Ryuji "Skull" Sakamoto, and Yusuke "Fox" Kitagawa's masks show up as pet ID tags. All four also appear on the collar and leash options. The fifth tag design resembles the general Phantom Thief icon. Prices tend to be uniform at Pawsonify. Cat collars, which are 8.5 to 12 inches, are $20. Those are also breakaway types. Dog collars start at XS, which are 8.5 to 12 inches and are also $20, but go up to 18 to 26 inch large ones for $22. Tags are $22 and feature free engraving, so someone could have the pet's name and the owner's phone number. Leashes are available in four foot and six foot options, with the smaller being $20 and larger $25. Here's a closer look at all of the accessories. This isn't the only series with merchandise appearing at Pawsonify. It also features cat and dog accessories based on Naruto and Inuyasha.

According to an interview with 4Gamer, the demo for FFXVI will go live about two weeks before the game's release. Naoki Yoshida, the director for FFXVI, described what parts of the game the demo will encompass. You will be able to experience about two hours of the game before its official launch. [Thanks, 4Gamer!] The demo will cover the first two hours of the game. Right when a "shocking" event happens, it will say something like, "Check out the rest in the full game." Then the logo for FFXVI will appear. Apparently, because you will not have full access to all of your abilities in the action sequences (since it will be the opening), Ryota Suzuki expressed worry. A selling point of FFXVI is its action, but people will not see it in its entirety in the demo. However, Yoshida stated that two weeks before the game's launch is a good time window. Because the demo will end at an "exciting" cliffhanger, it will likely entice players to go and purchase the game. As well, if the demo comes out too early, then it may cause players to start to lose interest. FFXVI will be the latest entry in Square Enix's long-running Final Fantasy series. It takes place in Valisthea, in which six nations with magical Crystals and human Dominants are involved in a war. The focus is on Clive Rosfield, who embarks on a journey for revenge after he sees the Eikon Ifrit destroy his kingdom. Final Fantasy XVI will come out on June 22, 2023 for the PS5. That means the demo should come out around June 8, 2023. The post FFXVI Demo to Come Out 2 Weeks Before Launch appeared first on Siliconera. |

Mobile game Re:Zero Lost in Memories is shutting down. Sega announced that the game would end service on May 12, 2023 in Japan. The shutdown comes about 2 years and 8 months after the game first launched in Japan in September 2020. [Thanks, Game Watch!] Sega didn't specify the exact reason for the closure of Re:Zero Lost in Memories, but did remark that it made the decision to end service after it concluded that "it would be difficulty to provide satisfying service to customers in the future." As of February 28, 2023, all purchases of the premium currency were suspended. On the same day as closure of the game on May 12, 2023, Sega will begin accepting refunds. Additional changes to the game will make things a bit easier for current players. Drop rates for characters, free currency, and progression materials will be boosted. New events and reruns of old events, as well as login bonuses and other promotions, will be held from March until the end of service. Re:Zero Lost in Memories is based on Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World, the light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, a shut-in NEET who is suddenly summoned to a fantasy world. He is almost immediately killed upon arriving, and comes back to life some time later, discovering he has the ability to rewind time after his death. He uses his time-shifting ability to help others and himself. The series has been adapted into multiple manga and anime, as well as video games. Re:Zero Lost in Memories is available on iOS and Android devices in Japan and select regions. It will shut down service on May 12, 2023.

HoYoVerse unveiled a new "Collected Miscellany" trailer for the Flame-Mane of Sumeru. The Genshin Impact Dehya gameplay overview details some of the new characters' abilities and skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URDSFmZOX4Q In the Genshin Impact Dehya gameplay trailer, Dainsleif describes the Eremite mercenary's brash fighting style, which earned her the "Flame-Mane" moniker. Outside of combat, Dehya's presence in parties can speed up everyone's running and walking speed during daylight hours. She uses a claymore weapon, and her skills change their effects based on the situation in combat. In Genshin Impact, Dehya gameplay revolves around the use of her Elemental Skill, Molten Inferno. It establishes a circular Fiery Sanctum field. Casting it while the Sanctum is already established moves it, while pounding the ground with a Pyro explosion. The field also deals pyro damage to enemies as they're attacked. Damage taken while in the field also redirects it to Dehya via her Redmane's Blood effect. Characters in the field are also less likely to be interrupted or knocked down when hit, and will take slightly less damage. Dehya's Elemental Burst Leonine Bite changes her attack pattern from claymore to fists, causing her to ditch the sword for a series of fire punches. When out of combat, her Fiery Sanctum can help other party members by applying area Pyro damage. It should be noted that according to gameplay information, Dehya's Elemental Burst doesn't appear to interact with the Hydro Elemental Bursts of Xinqiu and Yelan. Thus some of the strategies used by other Pyro-based characters triggering a Vaporize elemental reaction off of Xinqiu or Yelan's Bursts will not be available to Dehya at this time. Dehya is currently available in Genshin Impact. The game itself is available on iOS and Android devices, the PC, the PS4, and the PS5.

There's a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid bug. However, it is also avoidable. Apparently, players who participate the event without updating their game to 1.2.0 lose their chance to catch these new Paradox Pokemon legendaries. An official statement noted Nintendo and Game Freak are aware of the issue. It also explained how to avoid it while a fix is prepared. Here's the full statement explaining what's going on and how to avoid it. Essentially, people who play through the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid without updating encounter the bug. Instead of getting to catch the Paradox Pokemon version of Suicune or Virizion, the character turns into a Pokemon egg. If you catch that, you can't then catch one of the actual characters. This is because while they are five-star Tera Raids, you are only allowed to catch each one once.
The Twitter user Toppo shared a video showing exactly what happens when someone tries to attempt this Tera Raid without updating.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch, and the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raids will be around in-game until March 12, 2023. The post Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Walking Wake or Iron Leaves Tera Raid Bug Discovered appeared first on Siliconera. |

WGB, Home of AWESOME Reviews Wednesday, March 1, 2023 2:58 PM Like many people, my connection to Harry Potter began with the books. Born in 1991, I was only 6 when the first book was released but I still had a copy. It'd be a few years until I began to even vaguely understand most of it, but I was a precocious little bastard who loved to read ahead of my years despite it all going over my head. Anyway, over the years I read the books like crazy, and then I got into the movies on Christmas eve when my parents gave me a copy of The Philosopher's Stone on VHS because they thought it would be nice to relax on Christmas Eve with a movie. I'm telling you this so you understand that I'm most certainly coming into this review with a least a little bit of bias toward the franchise. Both the books and movies are ingrained in my childhood and even my adult life. While I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy, I still re-read the books and re-watch the movies every few years. Hogwarts Legacy, then, was an exciting prospect from the very start. While we've had good Harry Potter games over the years, the best modern titles have come from the LEGO franchise. It's baffling because the world J.K. Rowling conjured up seems to be perfect fodder for games. And finally, like magic, it seems that Avalanche has got it right: Hogwarts Legacy is pretty d |
