Along with the many small improvements offered by The Witcher 3’s most recent big patch, at least one problem slipped in: It was possible for Geralt to wind up stranded in the wilderness without a shred of armor to wear. See, the 1.07 patch raised the level requirements for some of the game’s gear. That…
That’s an interesting custom Mother Base emblem in the latest Metal Gear Solid V demo video… …of course, they change it midway through. The rest of the video is pretty cool, and among other things shows how the game’s online multiplayer incursions will work. (Thanks to reader David for the heads-up.)
Here’s a new look at the upcoming console version of Divinity: Original Sin The (terrific) original felt right at home on the PC, but this console version looks like it’ll work well.
Ah, August. The height of the summer, and the graceful slide into fall. Summer might be my favorite time for playing video games. It’s the time when I really feel like I’ve got options—Fall’s frantic keeping-up-with-the-Jonesesness is as far away as it’ll ever be, and we’ve simply got time to relax and play what we…
Shortly after Destiny launched last year, we posted a list of30 changes we thought would make it a better game. We were so young and innocent then; we were so hopeful. It’s been almost a year. Bungie has released two expansions for Destiny: December’s The Dark Below and May’s House of Wolves. In September, they’ll…
In the last half a year or so, we’ve gotten not one but two epic western fantasy RPGs in the form of Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It’s only natural that we’d want to compare them. Last fall, I reviewed Inquisition. I liked it! Then in May, I reviewed The Witcher…
CD Projekt Red’s Marcin Momot has shed some light on what will (and won’t) carry over to The Witcher 3’s upcoming New Game Plus mode. Gear, XP, money, and recipes will carry over. Quest items, books, trophies, and usable items won’t, nor will Gwent cards. If you’re not level 30, you’ll be bumped up automatically…
Anonymous Destiny teammates come and go. They’re here for a game or two, gone forever afterward. Some of them are cool, valued companions. Some are total assholes. The more Destiny PvP I play, the more aware I am of certain player behaviors—ways people celebrate and taunt, abuse the rules or simply abuse one another. I’ve…
The Witcher 3 is getting a New Game Plus mode for repeat playthroughs, developer CD Projekt Red just announced. Like the rest of the game’s DLC so far, it’ll be free. Great news, despite the fact that a lot of people haven’t even finished their first time through
I’ve been playing Suikoden II for the first time, and in between the epic battles and the heartwarming flashbacks, it can be a pretty silly game.
This weekend, Destiny’s Trials of Osiris will select maps from a randomized playlist. The playlist will consist of the six maps that Trials has already used. This should be interesting! See you all out there, and remember: winners don’t teabag.
I thought I was finished with Journey. I was wrong. Originally released in 2012, ThatGameCompany’s beloved PS3 sand-surfing simulator has been re-released this week on the PlayStation 4. Ireviewed it back when it came out, which feels like it was a lifetime ago. Since then, I’ve seen critical acclaim, backlash, and back-backlash. I’ve seen its…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a really, really, ridiculously big game. It came out two months ago, but most people I talk to still haven’t finished. Many aren’t even close. I thought I’d find out how far those of you who are playing have gotten, so I made a couple polls. Before we get…
Over the weekend, The Witcher 3 got a new patch that brought with it a bunch of changes. None of the tweaks are earth-shaking on their own, but taken together, they make the game feel noticeably more polished, user-friendly, and complete. Since The Witcher 3 came out back in May, developer CD Projekt Red has…
The agony! The jubilation! The drama and disappointment! I have reached the top of Destiny mountain, and the view is spectacular. It was a pain in the ass getting here, but I guess that was the point. For the first eight months of its existence, the “best thing” in Destiny wasthe Vault of Glass raid.…
I gotta say, CD Projekt Red is killing it with all the free stuff they keep adding to The Witcher 3 Not only did they just announce a big new 1.07 patch that promises to address the game’s lingering inventory and control issues (including “various improvements to horse behavior,” hooray), they’ve been steadily releasing free…
In Destiny’s competitive Crucible multiplayer, the most fearsome foe you’ll face isn’t a flame-slinging warlock or a knife-throwing hunter—it’s lag. One minute, you’ll be merrily floating around a PVP match, shotgunning fools and flinging space magic with abandon. The next, you’ll see something… impossible. An enemy will be standing in one place, then suddenly, he’ll…
If I really hated Batman and wanted him dead, I’m not sure my first step would be to design a series of elaborate underground Batmobile races. Then again, I’m not the Riddler, so what do I know? Early on in Arkham Knight, Batman discovers the Riddler’s latest scheme: He’s captured Catwoman, attached a bomb to…
When you call the Batmobile, you get the Batmobile. Maybe you parked on the roof? No problem. The Batmobile will make it work.
