Quick Links Just like the other Assassin’s Creed RPGs,Assassin’s Creed Shadowshas a number of optional romances for both Yasuke and Naoe to pursue outside of the main story quest. One of the first that you’re likely to run into is Gennojo, a cheeky thief who catches Naoe’s eye.

The fourth and final Catalyst for Barrow-Dyad is now available inDestiny 2. Target Lock is the final perk available on this weapon, synergizing perfectly with one of the gun’s Exotic perk options.

InSchedule 1, you have to produce certain products that you’re able to sell to the citizens of Hyland. However, most of the products that you can make are of standard quality, and if you wish to produce something that can meet the preference of the late-game audiences that want high-quality stuff, you’ll have to rely on the dry racks. The dry racks are very easy to get, and once you figure out how to use them, you’ll be able to increase the quality of your products with ease and will be able to satisfy more customers with ease....

Quick Links Elden Ring Nightreignworks quite a bit differently than the original Elden Ring that it spun off from. While the combat and enemies may seem quite familiar, the way you progress and gain weapons is a dramatically different affair. And the run back to the boss is harsher than it has ever been. Nightreign’s Nightlords are in a league of their own. The very first of these Nightlords you must defeat is part of the Tricephalos expedition, culminating in a battle against the three-headed Gladius, Beast of Night....

Summary Ahead of its release last month,InZoiwas dubbed ‘The Sims killer’, and it still might become that, but the early signs for the game have been mixed. The game sold overa million copieswithin its first week, but the game also helped The Sims 4,propelling it to its highest player count in Steam history. While The Sims 4’s player count headed in one direction, InZoi’s went the opposite, with the game losing a staggering amount of players in its first couple of weeks....

Summary A shrine on Japan’s Tsushima Island has banned all tourists from visiting after an “unforgivable” incident involving a tourist (nice spot, and thanks for the translation,Automaton). The Watazumi Shrine on Tsushima is famed for its half-sunken torii gates. The shrine is believed to have inspired the Scarlet Rock Shrine fromGhost of Tsushima- a shrine that features a torii gate half-sunken into a swamp. The Watazumi Shrine was damaged by a typhoon in 2020, and Ghost of Tsushima fans were instrumental in raising $180k to repair a damaged torii gate (perFamitsu)....

Video games often fall into the same trap with higher difficulties. Sometimes this might be tougher enemies, fewer resources, or permadeath. It will vary how creative different developers get with these options, but more often than not, it involves statistic modifiers to things like health and damage dealt versus damage taken - simple, but entirely uncreative. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2recently got its Hardcore Mode update - a mode that was also added to the original game shortly after release - and this is the best example of how to make a game more challenging, not by beefing up what already exists, but by adding more to the experience....

Summary Legohas revealed new bust sets ofIron ManandSpider-Man, the latter of which is already available for pre-order. That’s the more popular of the two, as early reactions to the new Iron Man set are a little mixed, and that’s probably being kind. Lego’s bust collection is somewhat limited. In fact, these Spider-Man and Iron Man sets appear to be the first where Lego has specifically referred to them as busts. There are some very similarStar Warssets, but all of them have been described as helmets rather than busts....

I made a video game last night. It wasn’tRed Dead Redemptionor anything, but it was a video game alright. And the process of doing so taught me a whole lot about the games we play, and why we play them. The game I made was incredibly simple. I used Inky to simulate a conversation between you, the player, and two strangers sitting next to each other in an airport lounge. I initially started with a destination in mind - and I don’t mean Majorca - but in the process of writing these chats, of crafting each possible path the conversations could take, it went to places I never expected....

The modern world of gaming is straying further and further away from one of the best parts of classic video games, the bountiful cheat codes. These were always such a blast to mess around with and discover. There were so many silly effects, such asbig head modeor something as simple as a debug menu to mess around with. Sometimes, though, developers will purposefully make their codes as tricky and tough to crack as possible to stop players from finding them easily....
