New World Aeternum Must Know Tips Before Playing on Console
Let’s start with the unlockable mounts. Aeternum is pretty huge and exploring on foot will take up so much time. Good thing there are three unlockable mounts that you can get by questing and fulfilling certain requirements. Note that mounts don’t really differ in speed, it all depends on your Riding skill. Naturally, having 200 will make you faster than anything lower.
Oct. 14, 2024
This means you’ll want to stay within closer range with a Blunderbuss Build compared to theMusket, maintaining the optimal distance for maximum damage. Like theMusket, theBlunderbussdoesn’t require crafted ammo and also enjoys a base20% damage bonus. However, while theMusketoften relies on free-aiming for headshots, theBlunderbussbenefits greatly from the newlock-onsystem, allowing you to lock onto a target and fire freely. Unlike thebow, which suffers from reduced damage when hip-firing while locked on, theBlunderbussretains full damage, making it especially lethal inPvP, where you can stay out ofmeleerange and unload shots quickly.
Oct. 14, 2024
To perform acharged shotwith thebow, you need to aim (by holding L2) and hold down R2 until thebowis fully drawn. Unlike themusket, thebowhas anarcto its shots, so when firing over long distances, you’ll need to account for this by adjusting your aim. This makes thebowa bit harder to use at very long ranges compared to themusket. However if you want to be a bit more accurate at longer ranges make sure to take theArrow Rangepassive, as it allows your arrows to travel further before arcing.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Aeternum FIre Staff Build Information
TheFire Staffis anAoE-focusedweapon, meaning its abilities are designed to hit multiple targets. This makes it less ideal when you’re trying to pick off single targets during quests, as it can easily pull more enemies than you can handle. However, it shines in situations with lots of enemies, like when you group up a bunch ofmobsduring questing, indungeons, or in larger-scalePvPwhere players are bunched together.
Oct. 14, 2024
TheFlailalso has wide horizontal sweeps that can hit many targets simultaneously, which is great forAoEingenemies when questing, inDungeons, or whenPvPingin medium to larger battles. And since it doesStrike damage, it can be effective against enemies theSwordis not. This makesSword and ShieldandFlail and Shielda dynamic pairing, swapping when another damage type is needed.
Flail and ShieldBuilds in New World Aeternum can also setImpairment, which is aStatus Effectthat not only causes damage over time, but also reduces the damage of the target by inflictingWeaken.
Oct. 14, 2024
As for attacks,light attacksdeal 100% damage,heavy attacksdeal 120%, andcharged heavy attacksreach 160%, making them a powerful option. TheGreat Axedeals exclusivelyslashing damage, so it’s effective against enemies weak to that type. Early on, you won’t encounter many enemies with a weakness toslashing damage, but luckily, very few will resist it either. This makes theGreat Axea solid choice for general use, especially when you’re not sure what type of enemies you’ll face.
Oct. 14, 2024
What makes theGreatswordstand out are its uniqueOnslaught StanceandDefiant Stancemechanics. Using abilities from theOnslaughtskill tree puts you intoOnslaught Stance, which boosts your damage output but also increases the damage you take while cutting down your charged heavy attack time by half. This offensive stance is great when you want to focus on maximizing damage without worrying much about defense, making it ideal for questing, small-scale PvP, or when you’re playing a DPS role in expeditions.
Oct. 14, 2024
If you’re going for a primarilyrangedHatchet build in New World: Aeternum, with aBoworMusket, theHatchetcan work as a solid secondary weapon. It’s not a bad backup, but it might not be as strong as options like theRapierorSpear, which naturally scale better withDexterity. Still, theHatchetcan do the job if you prefer. Itslight attacksdeal 100% damage,heavy attackshit for 120%, andcharged heavy attacksdo 160%. However, landingheavy attackscan be tricky due to theHatchet‘s short range and smallhitbox.
Oct. 14, 2024
TheIce Gauntlet, like theFire Staff, relies onmanafor its spells, but not its attacks. Use your light and heavy attacks to help sustain your DPS when your Mana is low. You won’t see much more damage from spells compared to regular attacks unless you’re hitting multiple enemies, but not many spells in this weapon type areAOE-focused. As a result, you’ll need to watch yourmanausage carefully. Crafting or findingmana potionsearly on can help until you unlock passives that make your spells moremana-efficientor deal more damage, reducing the amount ofmananeeded to take down enemies.
Oct. 14, 2024
Among all the weapons inNew World, theLife Staffhas the lowest damage potential because only a few of its abilities deal more damage than itslightandheavy attacks. These abilities also come with additional effects like healing or buffs, so their main purpose isn’t damage but rather supporting allies withhealsorbuffs. This makes leveling theLife Staffslower if you’re playing solo or outside ofPvP, as it takes longer to kill enemies. However, you’re incredibly hard to kill with theLife Staffdue to the constant healing, so while leveling might not be difficult, it can be more time-consuming.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Rules Out a PvPvE Mode
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2has decided not to pursue a PvPvE (Player vs. Player vs. Environment) variant, as it could pose a challenge for the successful shooter, which has found a balance between its PvP (Player vs. Player) and PvE (cooperative) modes.
The release of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 has been a massive success. It has revitalized the Games Workshop franchise, which already had some great games, but none had sold over two million copies within a single month.
Oct. 14, 2024
Positioning and timing your combo between abilities is crucial for success with theRapier. Ideally, you want to use anability, pull off the combo, then repeat the pattern. You can break out of the combo in a pinch if things go wrong with other abilities, and you should. A big part ofRapiergameplay is reactive—learning when to stay in the fight and when to reposition while keeping up your combos is key to mastering this weapon.
Oct. 14, 2024
That said, theSweep,CycloneandVault Kickabilities dealstrike (blunt) damage, which is effective against undead and neutral against animals. So, if you’re switching between fighting animals and undead while questing, having those three abilities slotted can help you handle undead more effectively while your regular attacks deal with animals.
One downside of thespearis its narrowhitbox. It’s not as effective at hitting multiple enemies with basic attacks compared to other weapons withhorizontal attacks. While you can hit multiple targets, you’ll need to position yourself more precisely than with other weapons, which can make it trickier to deal with groups when your abilities are on cooldown.
Oct. 14, 2024
There are also 3 different types of Shields in New World: Aeternum, and they operate similarly with some slight differences:
Round Shields are the lightest, with the lowest Block Stability but highest damage. Block Stability determines how much Stamina is consumed when you block an attack. Use this Shield type if you plan to maximize your damage with Defender Skills, which is ideal for questing or 1v1 PvP, but not so great for tanking Expeditions or larger scale PvP where you might need to block a lot.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Aeternum Void Gauntlet Build Information
TheVoid Gauntletis one of only two weapons inNew Worldthat dealsVoid damage, the other being theGreat Axe. However, the Void Gauntlet exclusively dealsVoid damage, which is highly effective againstAncientsbut performs poorly against theLost—a common enemy group early in the game. As a result, its damage output will be weaker early on but will improve as you encounter tougher enemies later.
One of its standout features is thatHeavy Attacksnot only pierce through targets, hitting multiple enemies, but also heal you for 20% of the weapon damage.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World: AeternumWar Hammer BuildsdealStrike Damage, making them especially effective against enemies weak to this damage type, like theUndead, which you’ll encounter early on, such as theDrowned. Many dungeons in the game feature these enemies, so it’s a solid choice when fightingCorruptions, during early game, or in dungeon runs. If you’re playing aStrengthbuild, having aWar Hammeron hand is highly recommended. Additionally,Light Attackswith theHammerdeal 100% damage,Heavy Attacksdo 130%, andCharged Heavy Attacksdeliver an impressive 170% damage—tied with theBowfor the highest in the game.

With the newlock-onfeature, using muskets has become easier than before, making them an excellent weapon choice. However, while the lock-on assists with targeting, it doesn’t guarantee precise aiming, so you’ll still need to practice to consistently land headshots for critical damage.
Initially, ranged weapons like the musket required ammo, but since that was removed, these weapons now deal a 20% increase to base damage instead. Another key point is that theMusketdealsthrust damage, making it effective against animals but less so against undead, which resist it.

Due to the large number of Spells to choose from, the list is limited to those that use upSpell Slots. If you’ve been looking for the best buffs, DPS and support Spells out there, then this Guide is for you!
Unlike Cantrips, Spells consume Spell Slots that more often than not, need to be replenished by taking aLong Rest(or aShort Restin some cases).
Oct. 27, 2021
Depending on the situation you can follow up withIce StormandIce Showerto grab enemies, before swapping back to your Fire Staff and using Fireball and Pillar of Fire again. If enemies, get through all that then you’ll finish withIncinerate. You’ll useEntombedwhen things look grim, and to recover Mana when you are low if you want to save on Mana Potions.
Both the Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet scale withIntelligence, making them a fantastic pairing, and rather straight forward when it comes toAttributes.
Oct. 16, 2021
If you pull too many enemies, or you are simply facing larger groups of them, like in an Expedition, then you’ll use your Great Axe to take care of them. The Great Axe has wide horizontal strokes that can hit multiple enemies, andMaelstromandGravity Wellare key.
Gravity Well can keep enemies grouped up, and deals more damage the more enemies caught in it once upgraded. Maelstrom can hit enemies two times once upgraded in a very large AoE, making it ideal for these types of situations.
Oct. 13, 2021
The way this Build works is that when your party pulls a group of enemies you will dropIce Stormto AoE and slow enemies, and then you will swap to yourLife Staffto begin healing. You’ll either useBeaconorSacred Grounddepending on what enemies you are facing, and then you’ll useLight’s Embraceto spot heal as necessary.
You can swap back to Ice Storm whenever it’s off cooldown to help with DPS, and you will useEntombedto restore your Mana if you are looking like you will run out.

You can then switch toSword&Shieldand attack, then useDefiant Stanceto taunt enemies further if you need to, as long as you have a Carnelian Gem in your Sword. Any remaining enemies can be taunted or interrupted withShield Bash, and then you can useUpheavalto reduce the cooldown of your Sword and Shield abilities by awhopping 25%, allowing you to use them again more quickly.

The way this New World Bow and Spear Build works is that when you’re running an Expedition you’ll lead withRain of Arrowsto deal damage and setBleedingonce the tank has grouped enemies up. Then you’ll fire offPoison Shotto set thePoisonedStatus Effect, placing your second DoT on the enemy group. Then fire off yourExplosive Arrow, hitting all enemies and applying burning, before charging in with your Spear.
Once you’re in melee range you’ll useSweepto AoE further, andknock enemies down.

New World AeternumBest Weapons & Locations for Early Game– In this New World Aeternum Farming Guide I’ll be showing you where to find the best early gameWeaponsinNew World. I’ll break these down by category for easy viewing, and this guide is being updated for New World Aeternum. Many weapons have changed bonuses, but they are still some of the best out there and still drop from the same bosses listed in this Guide.
Oct. 2, 2021
This combo isabsolutely deadly, and should more or less work the same in Expeditions and in PvP. This Build is obviously better in medium to large group battles, but it works effectively in 1 0n 1 and smaller PvP as well, because the Great Axe and War Hammer are such strong Weapons.
Both theGreat AxeandWar Hammerscale exclusively off theStrengthattribute, so that’s what you’ll want to focus on for maximum damage. However, you will be in melee range, meaning you will be hit quite often when using this setup so it’s also good to add some Constitution in order to survive enemy and player attacks.
Oct. 1, 2021
You can then use theTraps Skillto root the enemy in place, finishing it off with another shot or, attacking it with your Rapier if you want to conserve ammo. The general concept with this Build is that you want to fight at range as much as possible, only using your Rapier when absolutely necessary. You will no longer use a ton of Ammo fighting this way because it has been removed from the game with the Aeternum update, and instead you’ve had your base damage increased by 20% when using a Musket.

Pillars Of Eternity 2 Deadfire Builds Guide: Transcendent (Swift Annihilation)
The Swift Annihilation Build uses a combination of deadly attacks and spells from Monk and Cipher to handle any situation you may face. What I really like about this combination is that you combine 2 self sustainingClassesthat can regain resources through out the course of fight, so that they never have to just auto attack. Ciphers do this by attacking and Monks do this by being attacked, which means no matter what you do you are constantly gainingFocusorWounds.

Tekēhu can be found at the Watershapers Guild in the Periki’s Overlook district ofNeketaka. Once recruited you’ll have to decide between a Single ClassChanter, Single ClassDruidor aTheurge(Multiclass Druid/Chanter). This can be a very tough decision for new players because it’s one that is permanent, and cannot be reversed later.
Tekēhu’s stat spread is much more suited to Real Time With Pause than Turn-Based because of the a higherDexterityvalue and a modest amount ofMight.

It’s a big improvement from other VR games where your swings pass through things as if they were ghosts, like withSkyrimVR.

Player feedback has been vital in devising their plan of attack, so much so that they’ve tabbed their efforts, “War Against Clunkyness” and to that end, much of the development has been around smoothing out the game’s feel.

We made our way to THQ Nordic for some up close and personal time withElex, the upcoming open world RPG from Piranha Bytes that blends sci-fi and fantasy. We saw Elex in person last year at E3 and Gamescom and can safely say that the game has come a long way over the months.
The game is a fully open world without load screens and without pausing, with menus that appear fluidly in game creating a very locked in feeling.
Jun. 15, 2017
The game is set hundreds of years past the events of the first game and finds the cat and mouse tribes at war in the town. The mouse tribe initiates a hostile takeover of the kingdom and the main protagonist, Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum from the cat tribe is tossed from his kingdom. He sets out on a mission to reclaim his throne, aided by his allies Tani and Roland.
Gameplay unfolds in third person, as in the first and you are able to freely roam the overworld to explore towns, dungeons and other locations across the world.

In our demo of the game, we were given a chance to see the game’s unique twist on the detective story. The central edifice of the game is a massive mansion that you will be exploring in more detail, eventually having access to all of it, in what begins as a simple case and expands futher. This is no museum stroll however, as there are clues to a heinous truth within these walls that will test your mental mettle the further you unravel them.

Absolvergameplay, although similar to some fighters with a touch of “Souls” mixed in, has the potential to be the best fighting game on PS4 for those that enjoy tactical combat and abhor “skill-less” button mashing . Because of theCombat Deck, a tool that players can use to fully customize their combos, the possibility that you will ever face the samestyleof opponent is next to absolute zero. The PvP encounters in the game simply have chasms of depth for those that wish to spend the hours learning to fight.

In classic Monster Hunter fashion, you will be taking on hunts from NPCs in the world and in the demo, we were able to see a timed hunt in a biome known as the Ancient Forest. These environments will have differing considerations, such as heat and cold and will have to be planned for when packing your consumables for the trip. Once the mission begins, you get a look at how the different monsters in the world interact, with the game’s beasts all following an interesting hierarchy that governs how they behave: who is the hunter and who is the hunted, who attacks and who runs away.

Demon’s Souls Lore & Myth Analysis: Archetypal Substructure
Asshown previously,Demon’s Soulsmore-or-less obviously draws upon history, mythology, and psychology for inspiration. Now it’s time to look behind the scenes once more, where theMonomyth, or Hero’s Journey, waits patiently to be observed. Below. the story/events of the game are mapped onto the classic archetypal tale, step-by-step, as perthis basic overview.As a personal interpretation, this is just one of many possible projections of the game onto the Monomyth, which is itself only a rough outline of events that may or may not combine to produce it, and which is best served loosely – told metaphorically at times, and perhaps out of order, or incompletely – as strict adherence comes across as unoriginal and boring.

Embers of Mirrim Review: Partners To The End
Embers of Mirrim is on the surface an old school, 2D action platformer with modern visuals. If you look a bit deeper, you might be inclined to call it a puzzle platformer. While it’s near certainly going to tax your brain, it’ll be in a much different way than a puzzler. Embers flirts with absurd difficulty at times, but it’s the kind of hurt that will have many coming back for more.

Things rise and things fall, and over time all things will pass away. So says pearls of wisdom found in many cultural wisdom traditions. In gaming, death and the end of a thing are almost a pre-requisite for gameplay. What’s a game if things don’t die?

ESO 3 Years Later: Why I’m Still Playing Elder Scrolls Online
MMORPGs are a particular sort of game, prone to love, hate, greatness and mediocrity a alike. I am not an MMO fan per se, but I religiously played LOTRO for years on end, had numerous server firsts on the most challenging raids in the game and dabbled in RIFT for a year or so.
A rather peculiar aspect of MMOs is that they are built with 10 year cycles in mind.

Animation is being worked on heavily right now, especially the jumping mechanic and how abilities and weapons look and behave. They are using their own engine, so much of what they are doing must be built from scratch and the animations.

Aleorn: Heir of Cinder Book 1
Aleorn was an Ashen like any other: lost, forlorn, alone in all things. His Darksign was the bond of his servitude, and like many before him, he sought to erase it; for while it was the exultant glory of life everlasting, it was also the cold, cruel shackles that bound him.
He was not quite hollow – his gaunt yet human features attested to that – yet he strode nigh senselessly through the bitter realms, for his was a life neither lightened by purpose nor driven by hate, but something far different and altogether worse: empty.

Fort Triumph Preview: Hands On With A Fantasy X-COM
The X-COM franchise has developed a cult following of devoted fans. Deep tactical gameplay that is turn based with soldiers to manage on and off the battlefield. It’s heady, serious and grim. Which limits its appeal to an extant. For those players with a more fantasy bend to their settings, there aren’t many options in the way of that genre of gameplay, especially ones that also feature your traditional RPG party roles.

AereA Preview: Playing A Role
Music soothes the savage beast or so the saying goes. Sometimes it also slays the savage beast. That’s the premise behind upcoming RPG RPG AereA from developer Triangle Studios and SOEDESCO Publishing. As a musician myself, my initial interest in the game came from a Playstation Blog post and I was instantly compelled to dig deeper. What I found was a game that seemed simple on the surface but upon further look had something to offer for every kind of player, and its unique musical theme was consistent, well conceived and not just a gimmick.

On the Topic of Gangs of Mobs in Dark Souls
One of the complaints that drove me crazy aboutDark Souls IIwas how “cheap” it was because they used so many instances of groups of mobs and ambushes to “artificially” inflate the difficulty. I often asked myself, “Don’t people rememberDark Souls?” I made a small rant about this in Volume 1 of my return to Lordran. This prompted the idea to catalog all of the “cheap” groups of mobs in the first game in the series and make a long rant.

Why Nioh is Not a Dark Souls Clone
Over the past few years, a new sub-genre ofDark Soulsinspired Action-RPG and games in general seems to have emerged, unofficially named “Souls-like”, “Souls-style” or aggressively “Souls-clone”.
We have seen this label bring hatred towards excellent games such asLords of the FallenandSalt and Sanctuary, and promotion to others that aimed to captivate the “Souls audience”. And while there is no question in my mind that inspiration and love of games makes for certain characteristics of some games to bleed over the creations of developers worldwide, I am currently taking exception to the characterization ofNiohas a “Souls Clone”.

No Season Pass for Mass Effect Andromeda, Early EA Access Confirmed
BioWare GM Aaron Flynn confirmed today on Twitter thatMass Effect Andromedawill not have a Season Pass for the game’sDLC.

Nope
Doesn’t get more official or professional than that. No further details regarding the type or size of potential DLC were shared, beyond a promise of more info down the road. No Season Pass is of course a double edged sword as it encourages a la carte shopping of DLC that players want, but also potentially removes an opportunity at discounted content for those committed to purchasing the whole lot.

Uncharted 4had it all from a narrative perspective. Loyalty, deception, trust, and the bonds between friends and family. It represents the culmination of 4 games of Drake and his supporting cast and is a wonderful retrospective on everything that has happened. One can’t help but feel the emotional tug in tender moments with Elena or Sully and the game’s story payoff is as explosive as the brilliant gameplay.
Dark Souls 3brought the franchise back to its gameplay roots while also incorporating elements from its sister franchise,Bloodborne.

Kill Strain: Twist and Turn
At long last, we are getting a free to play MOBA like on consoles.

Kill Strain differs from the current hit Overwatch by being a top down view game, and is Free to Play, where with enough time you can earn other characters or you can pay to unlock them.

Livelock: Three is Company
Cooperative gaming experiences are some of the most memorable for gamers. Gearing up with friends for some online objectives into the wee hours of the night are one of the indelible joys of gaming.

Fast Travel Is a Plague
Fast travel is a plague. Now, before completely dismissing this idea, hear me out. I’m actually not talking about all fast travel, just a specific and unfortunately very common kind of fast travel.
We all know the kind. The “once you’ve been somewhere you can teleport there and back basically at will”kind. You may be familiar with it from such small indie titles asFallout 4, Skyrim,Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age Inquisition and Fable 3.

Consumer Narcissism and Game Review Score Inflation
So yeah, this week I’m going to criticize patterns of behavior I myself engage in. I’m fully aware of the underlying hypocrisy of the following argument. I’m not even sure if I wholeheartedly support the following argument. However, this is something I had that nagging feeling about. At any rate, It is something we as gamers should certainly be talking about. So here goes my crazy theory: The ridiculous degree of review score inflation in the gaming industry is in large part a shortcoming of our own making.

Dark Souls’ Unusual Real-Life Armor Inspirations
Aside of many great original armor designs and some dark fantasy references, many of Dark Soulsarmorsare naturally based on real-life medieval armors. Some of them are quite easy to recognize, so I’m not talking about the “pot” or “bucket” great helms, sallets or Anglo-Saxon helms in this article, but the more unusual types.
However some of the rather unusual designs are in fact based on real-life helms too.

The DRM Apocalypse
This is not a high minded speech about when piracy is or isn’t ethical. I’m not talking about a possible future either, this is a reality of today. Maybe you’ve heard, but Windows 7, 8 and 10 no longer support Safedisk or SecuRom because they’re not updated by the creators and pose a security risk, and while users can force it to run on window 7 and 8, 10 simply doesn’t run it.

Dark Souls 3 Lore: Mysterious Statues at the Grand Archives
While looking through discussion threads discussingDark Souls IIIoften you can find topics regarding a connection between the events and characters ofDark Souls I/IIand Dark Souls III. Sometimes, though, it’s not clear whether a certain subject is a simple Easter egg, put into the game just to create nostalgia or mystery, or if there’s some actual lore connection behind it.
In this article I’d like to discuss one of those such things, which seemed pretty obvious to notice however, as it turned out, some players paid little attention to, list some of the common theories regarding it, and invite the readers to join the discussion.

Berserk References in Dark Souls 3
It is not a secret that rather a lot ofDark SoulsandDark Souls 2designs (characters, monsters, locations, weapons etc.) were inspired, and in a good way, by Kentaro Miura’s manga “Berserk”. And I guess it’s one of the many reasons people love the Souls series. There aren’t many games that allow to try this brilliant atmosphere that well, after all.
Dark Souls 3introduces even more characters and content that is reminiscent of one of the best dark fantasy mangas.

Demon’s Souls: The Nexus Binds Me Part 2
In thefirst partof this 2 part article, we took a look at all the aspects of Demon’s Souls that served to draw players in. This part of the article will build upon what was discussed there and look towards the future on how those design philosophies could be expanded for a future Souls game.
Quite possibly, yes. Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Bloodborne have each had mechanics, weapon concepts, movesets, and level designs that worked incredibly well, but each and every one of these titles also had significant drawbacks that encumbered other aspects of the game.

Fallout 4 Update 1.5 Detailed
Update 1.5 forFallout 4is now in Beta on PC and with it comes to the much anticipated and revampedSurvival Difficulty. Check out the update notes as posted onBethesda’s Forums:

Fixes
Snoopers also discovered a bevy of newSettlementsitems in the update, but as these are not listed in the official notes, it’s probably safe to say these are content part of the upcomingFar Harbor DLC.

Demon’s Souls: The Nexus Binds Me Part 1
Between Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Bloodborne, I’ve always felt the need to go back to Demon’s Souls. For almost a year, I played Bloodborne almost exclusively, with a brief stint to platinum Dead Space 2 and play a bit of Star Wars: Battlefront. But I always return to what I consider the purest Souls Game.
What Brought Me Back This Time?

Indie Games & Difficulty: Reconsidering Old Principles
Ispent the last week on a variety of cool gaming-related activities, most of them beingDark Souls 3or anything Souls-adjacent. In my DS downtime I decided to give two very different indie titles a go. The first one was the groundbreaking Super Meat Boy that opened a lot of doors for indie developers couple of years back. My second pick was a direct beneficiary of these open doors; the wildly popular Enter the Gungeon.

Not to be forgotten in the minds of RPG players during the launch ofDark Souls 3,The Divisionthis week released it’s first freeDLC, titledIncursions, which gave players a new end game activity to explore with their squads.

In addition to the more nebulous “general balance adjustments and bug fixes” there were several explicit changes being made. Here’s a list of the notes provided:
What remains to be seen are what specific performance adjustments we will see for the weapons and spells, and the exact battle performance adjustment for the Dancer’s Enchanted Swords and Winged Twin Knight Axes.

My Close Encounter With Bloodborne
I‘ve been fond of the Souls saga since Demon’s Souls, having played the game a year after release. A friend told me about the game and showed me all the features it had. I must confess that initially I wasn’t very excited and did not pay too much attention to his suggestion so I just told him “Ok, I’ll think about it”. After a few months I found myself looking for fresh new games to play and while staying at my friend’s house he told me again to try Demon’s Souls, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular anyway so I did it and I must say I was fascinated.

Why Dark Souls’ Notorious Difficulty is Largely a Myth
If video games were gangsters, the Souls series would definitely be regarded to have the most street cred. It’s often considered to be the last truly challenging AAA series left in the market. It is also the series with a very passionate fan base known for working together towards peeling off all the layers of the many secrets hidden in the Souls universe.

Getting Started Guide: Fex’s Tips for Dark Souls 3
I‘m a long time player of the souls series, having been one of the few people to actually get excited at the Demon’s Souls announcement in TGS back in the day, more than a year before it made it over to the US. Since then, I have witnessed many players get hooked in the series, and many others return it out of sheer frustration, and perhaps a few smashed controllers, TVs and split discs.

Battlebornhas a lot working against it. The newest effort from Gearbox Software is doing its best to forge a name for itself among the numerous MOBA inspired battle arena games releasing in the coming months. Its main competition, Blizzard Entertainment’sOverwatch, has already caught my attention with its most recent open beta, featuring fast paced combat, slick controls as well as a swath of heroes to choose from.

Nioh Alpha Demo Coming in April
After E3 last year we brought back somepreview footage and impressionsof a Samurai meets Dark Souls game calledNioh. Since then other comparisons have been tossed around, with names like Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden frequently popping up on comment threads. Developer Team Ninja has announced this week via thePlaystation Blogthat an Alpha Demo will be available to play later this month exclusively on PS4.
Set in a time of civil war in Japan, Nioh not only incorporates classic elements such as samurai and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore, but also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team Ninja, the team that defined brutal action games.

ダークソウル3 完成披露試遊会
「ダークソウル3完成披露試遊会」に参加してきました。当日は東京、平日だったので、参加できなかった方に少しでも参考になれば幸いです。※ スマートフォン向けにページ作ってみました。
会場は公式ホームページで紹介されている通り、ブースがいくつかに分かれておりエスト瓶の飲み物体験プレイゾーン、DOWBLコラボTシャツの販売ゾーン、太陽の騎士ペインティングゾーンとなってました。
予約をすると応募権のもらえる 1/1 等身大 騎士フィギュア
DOWBL コラボグッズは、会場のみで限定販売となる「赤」色のスマートフォンケースと篝火Tシャツが販売されていました。
来場者の先着順に与えられたアートブックは、9割ほど今までのダークソウルのイラスト気になる新情報はダークソウル3序盤のエリアマップが入っていたこと
序盤の全体MAPはこちら
体験会は整理券が配られ、ステージは「不死街」のボス「呪腹の大樹」までプレイ可能でした。
来場者数はおよそ400名と見られ、試遊体験整理券は午後 18 時頃には無くなっていた模様。15:30 には 50名 がすでに行列を作っており、平日でこの人数は凄いと思います。
ゲーム画面の撮影は禁止だったので、新情報をお伝えすると、なんとダークソウルに出てきた「黒騎士」が登場!ダーウソウル3は、ソウルマスター宮崎さんの考えによると、一つの節目と感じておりデモンズソウル、ダークソウル、ダークソウル2、ブラッドボーンすべての要素を詰め込んでいるとのこと。
それは、アイテム、武器の説明文(フレーバーテキスト)に限らず、MAPにも含まれておりMAPを歩いていると、あれ?ここどっかで見たことあるなぁ・・という形状をしていて、ゲームをプレイしたプレーヤーがおもわずニヤリとする場面が多々あるとか。ゲームクリア後も色々な発見ができるよう工夫されているそうです。
既に、ある程度インターネットに上がっている武器の「戦技」は、同じ名前でも武器によって動作が異なり例えば「構え」は、武器を構えてから連続攻撃時のモーションが変わったり、敵の攻撃を受けてから反撃する時のモーションが異なる。など攻撃力の低い武器でも扱いやすいようにこだわって作られているらしい。尚、ソウルマスター宮崎さんは、今回、武器の説明文からMAPの構成に至るまで全てに介入して手掛けており、ほとんどの武器の説明文を宮崎さんが書いているとか!かなりのこだわりが感じられます。
あと、なんでこの試遊会は木曜日に開催したのか、を広報部長の小倉さんに聞いたところソウルマスター宮崎さんが来週 GDC * に参加するそうで、そうすると発売前で大人数の会場が抑えられる日&毎週ニコニコ生放送で放映されているダークソウル攻略チャレンジの動画配信に合わせたそうです。急ぎで決まったイベントであったことと、時期的に他業種の企業説明会が多々あり、都内で土日の会場は抑えられなかったとか。
GDCとは?Game Developers Conference(GDC、ゲーム開発者会議の意)は毎年開かれる世界各国のゲーム開発者を中心とした会議
およそ2時間置きに、参加者の目を引くようなイベントが始まります。画像はライブペイントを行っている「れなれな」さんのイラスト。ゲームのために作成したモノクロ写真のようですが、これを来場者の目の前で描いていました。
だんだん恒例行事となってきたダークソウルーキャラクターコレクション(笑)会場内で参加者と一緒にゲームをしたり、イベントに驚いたりする姿がシュールでカワイイ。
彼らと一緒に記念撮影も行え、ダークソウル王の四騎士で人気のある「深淵の騎士アルトリウス」と「竜狩りのオーンスタイン」の2人の組み合わせにはたちまち人だかりが・・・。
試遊会もそろそろ終わり、というところで、参加者に配られた会場案内に記載された「抽選番号」による抽選会が開催。来場者に豪華プレゼントが提供されました。
最高の目玉は「4m × 4m 巨大タペストリー」のついたスタッフ限定Tシャツ&ポスター。さらに PS4 本体につけられる PS4 HDDベイカバーの試作品(非売品)がついていました。このベイカバーは、ダークソウル3 PS4同梱版についている「騎士」のプリントがついたベイカバーの試作品で、篝火がプリントされている物。来場者には感嘆と共に、「これ、本気でどうするんだ・・」と言った戸惑いも。
抽選会で当たった景品は以下の通り。(確かもうちょっとありましたが割愛します)途中で帰宅した人の分はその場で再抽選を行いプレゼントされました。
試遊会レポートは以上です。
管理人の私は、残念ながら抽選会で何も当たりませんでしたが、DOWBL コラボ Tシャツを1枚だけ買うことができました。これ着て来週海外行ってきます。発売まであと2週間、乞うご期待です!

Bloodborne: A Theme Analysis
As I was playing theOld Hunters DLCforBloodborne, I came to realize something interesting about the theme of it, and certainly of the themes of the entire game, and that is the illusion of purpose that the hunters have and how the oppression and dire circumstances they are in drive them to keep fighting even though, if they just took a moment to think about what they were doing, they could see the insanity of it, similar to Djura.

We were given the opportunity by Bandai Namco to play an updated build ofDark Souls 3today (I believe it was updated on the 14th of March) and I wanted to share my experience with the community as well as share some information that may not be known about the game.
I decided to go with theKnightclass. TheLongswordis generally my go-to in Souls games because of its fast attack speed and decent damage (add in the wickedStanceSkilland it’s really hard to find anything wrong with it), so this was a no brainer.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth: I Just Can’t.
Ican’t do it anymore, I’m done. This game has just completely lost my interest. To be fair, Digimon Story, Cyber Sleuth has some good stuff going for it. Though it may be easier to have a knee-jerk reaction comparison to Pokemon at first, it’s actually quite a bit more like Persona or the Shin Megami Tensei series, though not as charming as the former, and not as difficult and grimdark as the latter.

A Childhood Love For Browser Based Flash Games
I‘ve always loved gaming, and by love I mean every kind and every platform can get me interested. Sometimes the best gems come from the most unexpected places, and that’s how I found some of the best games I ever played.
Back when I was a kid, I didn’t have enough opportunities to fully enjoy the gaming consoles. Even with a PS1, I used to travel a lot due to my father’s work, and it was in one of those boring 90’s offices that I first discovered PC gaming, not to be confused with the PC gaming we know today.

A Journey Through Demon’s Souls at Soul Level 1 – Part 1
The difficulty of the games in From Software’sSoulsseries is often exaggerated, with too great an emphasis placed on it by individuals and companies who, for whatever reason, choose not to acknowledge the numerous other facets besides difficulty that make up these games. Because the fact is thatDemon’s SoulsandDark Souls– not so much the more cheap and lazyDark Souls II, in my opinion – are challenging, sure, but on the whole they’re also fair.

Ask Kuebiko: Issue #2
Some great questions this week, ranging from lyrics to interspecies relationships (not that kind of relationship). Let’s get to it…
Emergence asked:“When Jermaine Jackson asked ‘Why don’t you do what you do when you did what you did to me?’ what was it that she did that he wanted her to do so much?”
Most people will tell you that this is an allusion to something romantic, like tender kisses on the nape of a neck.

The Constable and the Crow: Prologue & Chapter 1
Author’s Note: This is a work of fan fiction, written to pay tribute to both the video gameBloodborneand the visionary author H.P. Lovecraft. I in no way seek financial gain from it, and the settings, concepts, and some of the characters within remain the intellectual property of From Software and Sony Entertainment.
The terrifying light of the blood red moon bleeds through the gaps in the shutters and illuminates my parchment.

Game Reviews Part 2: What Can We Do?
With the problems mentioned inpart one, some are likely asking, how can we fix these issues? Some of the problems mentioned are obviously not able to be changed. Companies want to release games to make money, and there’s only so much money to go around. Likewise time is limited as well. So for three of our five problems, we have very limited things we can do to impact them.

Game Reviews Part 1: What’s Wrong With Game Reviews?
Constantly games are boiled down to 7.9, 5.5, 4.7, 9.8, 8.5. The scores themselves end up being the most important part of reviews. Which if you think about it means that the score itself is more important than the reasons the game was given the score in the first place. Often you will see a thread, “I’m not buying a game if it gets below [insert score here].

With the new year comes a clean slate of sorts. While I still haven’t playedMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,Rise of the Tomb Raideras well as a host of other games, I find myself already getting excited for what comes next.

Dragon’s Dogma Doesn’t Need Co-Op
This is going to be short and sweet. Co-op is an aggravatingly common request for games in general that have no need of it and wouldn’t benefit from its inclusion, but I feel like Dragon’s Dogma is a special case. Unlike most of the other games where people who don’t know what they’re asking for beg for co-op, Dragon’s Dogma at least seems to lend itself to the concept with it’s base systems.

Last week pre-orders opened for the Oculus Rift at $599.99 in the US (plus shipping and applicable taxes) which includes The Oculus Rift itself, Eve Valkyrie and Luckey’s Tale along with an Xbox One controller. After the initial sticker shock wore off, this price still seems to be a mistake.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Stumbles, But Hints At Promising Stories Ahead
Star Wars has become so entrenched into modern pop culture, mythologized and scrutinized to the point of exhaustion, that it’s easy to forget how it began in relative obscurity with little fanfare or advanced hype. A New Hope originated during a unique time in American filmmaking. In the early to mid-1970’s George Lucas was part of a new generation of maverick directors emerging in Hollywood, artists determined to shatter the norms which existed in the industry for nearly two decades.

This is our largest Uncharted game to date, and the team has been working incredibly hard to meet the challenge of closing out the game’s development in a timely manner.

Silence is (still) Golden.
About a year ago I wrote a piece about how and why voice acting in RPGsisn’t necessarily a good idea. In fact it’s often a pretty bad idea. In the wake of the instant megahit that isFallout 4making every single mistake I mentioned (and then some) with regards to the voice acting and the dialog system it’s tied to, and some general time to refine my perspective, I want to talk about it again.

Musings on Wildlife
Amemory came to me today. In a couple years, I’ll be able to accurately describe it as “decades” old.
It starts off like this: On a long and lonesome highway, East of Omaha…
Technically that’s all true. Also technically, that’s Bob Seger. Anyway, I was with a friend in the back of his parents’ truck on our way back from a craft show. We heard an extremely loud impact, which was followed by the truck pulling to the side of the road.

While factual details are getting mashed up with speculation at this point, all indications are that this is going to offer rewards and other incentives to people who help newcomers through first-runs of Destiny.
This strikes me as a fascinating concept, and one which might look toDark Souls 1andDark Souls 2for direction.

The Importance of Soundtrack and How Dark Souls 3 Nailed It (So Far)
When it comes to soundtrack in games, most developers settle for “good enough”. But that wasn’t enough for Yuka Kitamura and the otherDark Souls IIImusic composers. While only little has been heard of Dark Souls III’s soundtrack, the composers have already showed obvious effort and interest in creating a fantastic attempt at topping everyone’s high standards. And I respect them for it.

Video Game Features That Should Be Standard
It may seem to be common sense to have intuitive features that can accommodate the large audience of players the game industry caters to. But there are times when design choice or game options seem to be counter intuitive or limiting. Sometimes a developer may have an option in an earlier title that has been removed in a newer title. Depending on the option it can ostracize a number of the player base.

RETROSPECTIVE: ROAD RASH
When I was a kid, years before Electronic Arts became the obscenely greedy, morally bankrupt parody of cartoonish supervillainy that they are today (“Bah! He was a rank amateur compared to… Dr. Colossus!”), to me they were a company synonymous with interesting and high-quality videogames due to the titles developed and / or published by EA that I owned for my Sega Mega Drive:The Immortal,Populous,John Madden American Football,Desert Strike, etc.

Magic The Gathering: EDH Deck Building
If you don’t know what EDH is the short version is that it’s a 100 card singles format (only 1 of any given card excluding basic land) designed to be played with 3-5 players in a free for all. 1 of the 100 cards being a General, a card that sits in a special zone, can be played from that zone at any time you could normally play a creature (for 2 additional mana each time you cast it) and arguably the biggest twist: nowhere on any card you use can there be any mana symbol not also present on your general (excluding reminder text, which is always in italics and () to distinguish it from other text.

Books and Games: A Mutual Inspiration
If you are an avid reader and gamer you might notice that some popular books and video games seem to overlap. Sometimes it is a subtle easter egg, other times it is a video game based off of a book, there are even times where a really popular book inspires a well written book series. To start I would like to discuss a number of games that were inspired from or based off of popular and even classical literature, followed by popular games that were so big they had book series written in their setting.

The Genius of Soul Memory
By the timeDark Souls IIcame out, it was no secret that players had built their own fighting game inside of the Souls series. There were fight clubs that had been established with strict rules, letting players engage in honorable duels. PVP hotspots emerged as dedicated players congregated in specific places throughout the game world. Even FROM recognized the popularity of these duels early on, adding theBattle of Stoicismarena toDark Soulswith their DLC.

Bloodborne & Procedural Environments
Bloodbornehas an emphasis on quality over quantity. But I’d like to talk about one major feature which lacks both. Speaking as a fan ofchalice dungeons, I understand the average player’s aversion to them. Your introduction to the concept is a small, sparsely populated environment with weak enemies. There are no secrets; marvel at one or two rooms, throw the lever, kill the boss and repeat… then you stop paying attention.

How to Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 Part 2: PvP
Please seeHow to Fat Roll To Success, Part 1: PvEfor the first entry in this heavyweight guide.
The reason I began this crazy adventure and started this whole guide was due to PVP. Fatroll builds shine in PVP, due to completely obliterating the style of play your average player is used to. Here are a few concepts to keep in mind before anything:

Bloodborne: A Labor of Love(craft)
You find yourself beneath a purple sky. The odd hue bears down like a weight, oddly oppressive. Massive, cyclopean buildings of hewn rock sprawl as far as the eye can see. Statues and carvings of creatures described mainly in the ravings of lunatics decorate the city, providing a pervasive reminder that the veil of reality has begun to thin.

Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 : PvE
Ihave gone back and forth about this guide. I’ve seen some grievous errors in what a “fatroll” build is and have wanted to set the record straight, so to speak. I’m a nut, I’ve played a fatroll build inDark Souls1 and was stubborn and kept playing them inDark Souls 2, even with the loss of “poise” as it was known in 1.

Age of Man Chapter 1: Onion Road
During my time at the Undead Asylum, I began to wonder about this wretched dark sign. An undead’s life is like a fire that keeps burning, but it will eventually die, truly die. Of course, my travels on Lordran had taught me that the curse of the undead was thanks to Gwyn, the Lord of Cinder, or Sunlight in his prime. He really liked those flames, didn’t he?

Totality in Yharnam
As we playBloodborne, just like in real life, we are preoccupied with everything around us that sometimes we forget to look up. Starting inCentral Yharnam, lost and confused, trying to make sense of the situation we are in. Yet, nothing has caught my eye more than the sun and its partner, the moon. Perhaps it is my thinking back to Solaire’s words:If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Bloodborne: Peering into Laughter
Laughter, it is all around us, from joyous laughs to maniacal laughs. Laughter can ensue from a [bad] joke told at a party or it can be uttered due to uneasiness or feeling nervous. Scientists have shown that parts of the limbic system, which includes the hippocampus and the amygdala, are involved in laughter. Laughter is something that is always around us but we never really look into laughter itself.

Some of the things you notice rather quickly are Health and Stamina bars stacked one on top of the other in the bottom left of the screen. The Health bar is surprisingly blue (when full), and the Stamina bar is the familiar green color that we’ve all come to know from theSoulsseries and dictates your attacking and blocking.

After running a players poll in the Fextralifeforumsto see if players would accept minigames in theDark Souls, series there were a number of discussions in how players would create their own minigames within the mechanics defined in Dark Souls.

From Software Has Been A Key Player In The Evolution of Gaming Difficulty
There was a time when gaming knew nothing of difficulty settings. Games came with but one: relentless. Defeating tough levels had but a single reward: the promise that your next one would be even worse. Early Atari and Nintendo titles such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong gave no quarter; in fact they took many (quarters, that is). As arcade machines they were designed this way to minimize the time each player spent on a game, thus making sure kids kept pumping paper route money into the slots in an addictive quest to get their initials at the top of the screen.

With this increase in breadth of vision comes an equally steep increase in development resources needed, both in people and processing power.

Battleborn: A Genre Mashup
Space fantasy is a mashup genre in itself, and given the genre blurring gameplay and setting of Borderlands, it’s no surprise to see a riff on that motif again here. Everyone in the universe has gathered on a star called Solus to seek safety after a universal disaster wiped out all of the other planets and stars. Sending out their best champions known as Battleborn, the remnants of the universe pin their hopes on these heroes’ ability to stop the evil behind the disaster.

Destiny’s Lack of Matchmaking Persists Leading Into Year 2
Destiny has long been hailed as a social game, one which uses a three player “fireteam” as its basic squad, and allows for friends to connect and play virtually all of the content together, from menial patrols and impromptu soccer matches inThe Tower, to meat grinder raids meant to test skills to the limit. Yet lone wolf players still find it a struggle to access much of the high level content, simply because very little of it can be played alone, and the game purposely limits matchmaking options.

Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture – This Is England
In this age of hyper realistic graphics, slick 1080p resolutions and cinematic presentations in games, why am I so focused on a stretch of tarmac?
This isn’t any stretch of tarmac. There’s no cars screaming down it, no barriers set up for a cover based shoot out and most certainly no mutilated corpses on this stretch of tarmac. No, it’s just a stretch of road, which is what makes it so special.

A Look at Media Molecule’s Dreams
Games as art. It’s a recurring topic in the gaming community and in general entertainment as the video game industry continues to grow and be taken more seriously. Beyond video games we so often ask, “Is this art?” for any creative venture. If we rearrange the question however, we wind up with something just as provocative: Is art a game? With Little Big Planet and Tearaway, unique developer Media Molecule has demonstrated a penchant for creating games that tease both questions, and their forthcoming PS4 release, Dreams, looks poised to now impose those questions.

Eitr – Dark Souls meets Diablo, Developer Interview & Hands-On

In a departure from Kamiya’s past games, Scalebound’s setting is a fantasy world called Draconis where players play as the character Drew who is accompanied by an AI dragon named Thuban. Thuban is designed to be very independent although the player will be able to issue commands and eventually mount Thuban. Much of the focus on Thuban’s AI has been in making him reactive in interesting and helpful ways that will make him an asset, despite his unpredictable nature.

After a large (and public) fan outcry over a poor Gamescom showing by Square Enix for Final Fantasy XV it seems that fan patience for the title that is the encapsulation of development hell is at an all time low.

Swen proceeded to show off the elemental effects of the game, one by one, in rapid succession. If you are unfamiliar with this part of Divinity, it is what makes the game stand apart from every other RPG in the same genre (namely turn-based RPGs).

I hope Persona 5 is the Dark Souls of JRPGs
I‘m going to unpack that statement now, because it has nothing to do with gameplay:
For those unfamiliar with the series, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is a series of off beat, turn based JRPGs that play like demonic Pokemon meets your standard dungeon crawl meets The Sims with a story heavily influenced by Japanese mythology and Jungian psychology, with an emphasis on deconstructing variants of common JRPG and character tropes to explore the darker aspects of the psyche of fairly regular and relateable people.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, since the E3 reveal had shown no gameplay, but I was in for a pleasant surprise. Bethesda have correctly and thankfully realized there will be huge interest and have built a cinema to accommodate, there’s easily 200 people inside… and it’s in German. Great.

To start, MS announced Rare Replay, a collection of Rare classics releasing today. Quantum Break was then shown in gameplay form. The animation and shooting evokes Uncharted, but with time‐altering powers. The player distorts time to create shockwaves, slow enemies, initiate bullet‐time, and a series of other cool powers. At the end of the demo, two enemies appeared and began using time‐altering powers themselves. They seemed able to disrupt powers used on them as well.

The Life of an Outlaw in Red Dead Redemption
I love westerns.
Whether gravitating towards realism or a more romantic, mythical take on the realities of the time, the western is a genre of powerful imagery and archetypes, from the vast, sweeping vistas of untamed landscape to the mysterious and deadly gunslinger. It’s a genre that has permeated popular culture over the past century, as seen in the western novels of authors such as J.

Bloodborne: An Analytical Review
Bloodborne, what freaking awesome game, I think one of the things I enjoy the most about it is probably the combat… And the art… And the music… And the creature design… And the atmosphere created when all of those things are combined. It’s interesting to me because I never have before and even now probably would not say that Souls games are my favorites. If someone asked me to make a list of my top 10 games, I probably wouldn’t include them.

Bell – Ringing Maidens: Every Spawn Location & The Fastest Path to Get There
Greetings fellow Hunters
I’ve spotted lots of posts on various fora, mostly by new players, asking where they can find the Bell Maiden in specific worlds so they and their friends can go about their business without risk of Invasion. It’s also true that some of the older players – like myself – might be missing the location of certain ones just because they did not co-op in certain areas (in my case Upper Cathedral Ward) and just want to know where these mysterious Pthumerians spawn.

Bloodborne: One Fan’s Insight
By now some of us have experienced one heck of a long night with Bloodborne, the latest PS4 Exclusive title. Or most of it anyway. While I’ve put in what amounts to a full week of work (plus some overtime) with the game, I’m by no means finished. One more thing to mention before we rock on with this, it’s hard to avoid the inevitable comparisons to the Souls series.

Get up.GET. UP.
…Left stick forward, tap O. Furiously mash R1.
Blood flows from my enemy, coating my character. Relief washes over me as my hunter’s health replenishes. For now, at least, the fight goes on.
Hit it! Hit it hit it hit it DODGE
Left stick left, tap O.
Impatiently I wait for my stamina to refill before exchanging blows with the enemy. With my store of vials spent and more than a fifth of the beast’s health left, I am left with two options: don’t take damage, or rapidly counter if I do.

Final Fantasy XV – A retrospective look at over 8 years of development
It is a commonly known gaming pop culture fact that Final Fantasy XV has been in development for a very, very long time. It was originally announced at E3 2006 as Final Fantasy XIII Versus as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. But now nearly nine years, a title change and a whole console generation later, much has changed. A Final Fantasy fan, Taylor Hoyte, has spent several months researching and collecting all the information from those long eight years of mostly barren wilderness to look at what happened to, what now is, the latest title in the long running franchise by Square Enix and has posted this informative video that both fans and casual observers will glean knowledge from.

Silence is Golden (Voice acting in RPGs)
As Many of you probably know, full voice acting has been in games for a while now, and this, for most games, is fantastic. In RPGs we start to have potential problems though. It works well for some and not as well for others. BioWare has recently fallen into this trap, several times, so I’m going to talk about them a bit, but many other games have (or avoid) the same issues.

A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 2
By the late 1980s, the side-scrolling beat-‘em-up genre had become hugely popular amongst gamers, especially in the arcades, so it was no surprise that some companies who held licences to existing products from other mediums attempted to take advantage of this and create video games that applied a popular license to a popular genre.
A good example was the arcade titleTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I talked about in Part 1, and this was far from the last video game to feature the Turtles in an effort to exploit their popularity: the arcades later received the sequelTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time, which was also released on the Super Nintendo, while some Turtles beat-‘em-ups exclusive to home systems includedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Projecton the NES, andTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heiston the Sega Mega Drive, although the latter title borrowed heavily fromTurtles In Time.

Bloodborne: New info and HYPE!
Sony released plenty of new and exciting Bloodborne tidbits that are sure to have the gaming community salivating like a dog (a big, lycanthropic dog that might maul a fella or something).
“Hello, PlayStation fans. I am excited to be able to share some brand new details for Bloodborne, our PS4-exclusive collaboration between Sony Japan Studio and FromSoftware. We’ll have much more to share in a few weeks at PlayStation Experience, but in the meantime here’s a sneak peek at some of the beautiful and nightmarish stages, enemies, and weapons you’ll get to see in the game this March, straight from the dark and twisted imagination of the masterful team at From Software.

A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 1
It can be easy for some gamers to write off the side-scrolling beat-‘em-up genre as shallow and repetitive, especially when taking into account how the medium of video games has evolved and matured over the past two decades, but this is doing the genre a disservice.
Side-scrolling beat-‘em-ups have actually taught us some interesting and valuable things, such as how breaking open a metal bin or a wooden barrel or crate can potentially reveal a delicious whole roast chicken or some similar food hiding within, and how eating such hidden food (well, more “absorbing” than eating) can instantly heal you no matter how badly you’ve been beaten, stabbed, burned, and generally battered.

Duct Tape Helmet: Man’s NEW Best Friend
Duct tape has existed for millennia. But it is only recently that mankind has unlocked it’s full potential as clothing. This year I decided to join the enlightened wearers of duct tape following the innocent Halloween time question to my four year old: “Do you want daddy to have a costume too this year?” I don’t know how the real Elsa from Frozen would have responded but my daughter naturally said “yes.

Bloodborne Delayed to March 24th
Dear community,
It is with regret that I must inform you that Bloodborne will be slightly delayed.
While development continues unabated, we would like our team to deliver the best possible final experience. We were gratified by the feedback and data we received from those who participated in our limited Alpha test. The extra production time will also allow us to better integrate these learnings.

Retrospective – Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
“I didn’t care if I was in Heaven or Hell – all I wanted was to kill my assassins. Sometimes you get what you wish for. The Necromancer Mortanius offered me a chance for vengeance. And like a fool, I jumped at his offer without considering the cost. Nothing is free. Not even revenge.” – Kain
One of the most magnificent bastards in video games, Kain the vampire began his undead life in the 1996 PlayStation titleBlood Omen: Legacy of Kain(the game receiving the more to-the-point title ofKain the Vampirein Japan), an action-adventure game featuring RPG elements, with two-dimensional graphics and a fixed top-down camera.

The Forgotten Final Fantasy
When Final Fantasy is mentioned minds will automatically wander across to the series’ more beloved titles such as VI, VII and X or even to its more controversial ones such as VIII and XIII. But there is one Final Fantasy title in particular that has been completely forgotten even amongst its own fanatical fanbase. (No, it isn’t Dirge of Cerberus … that game did not happen … it did not…!

Bloodborne: Alpha Impressions (Sony Approved)
Editor’s Note: This article was approved by Sony for publishing, and features Castielle’s observations primarily, with some Skarekrow13 thoughts chiming in on occasion because he likes to stick his nose into things.
The level the Alpha occurs in is easily recognizable by anyone who has watched any gameplay footage to date. You are dropped into the game in exactly the same spot as the Playtester running the booth at E3.

Bloodborne: Alpha
One of the FextraLife community’s most anticipated games has crept just a little bit out of the darkness.
That’s right, the Bloodborne Alpha is less than 24 hours away. Taking place over three nonconsecutive days (Oct. 1, 3 and 5) with a three hour block on each day. Lucky FextraLife community members, Souls fanatics and From Software supporters that got in will surely be begging for more than the planned nine hours of Alpha.

Dark Souls 2: Pass Step Guide
This technique is quite old, but I decided to make a guide for it anyway since it’s way more effective in Dark Souls 2, than it was on Dark Souls.

Technically this is mechanically different than the “Ravioli step” (still dislike that name) The RS worked in DS1 because you could instant pivot during actions(attacking, parrying could be done in any direction when unlocked with a 1 frame turn around) So by starting a backstep, then instant pivoting to face the direction opposite where you wanted to go You could backstep in any direction very quickly.

[Review] Destiny
Destiny is the most anticipated game of the year. It has a budget of $500 million and and has earned that same amount shortly after release. Destiny will have a 10 year support plan as Bungie hopes that Destiny will be a universe that people will enjoy. Although it is very promising and has so much potential for a new franchise, is this new universe one that is welcoming, or would want us to stay away?

Retrospective: Sonic Adventure
“SweetJesuslookatthatwhalethatlooksawesome!”
That – or something along those unpunctuated lines, anyway – was the thought that ran through my head the first time I sawSonic Adventurein action.
I was about 18 years old, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed university student with a smile on my lips and a song in my heart, years before I became the angry, whiskey-soaked misanthrope I am today. I was in Another World (a shop that sold video games, comic books and other cool stuff), and they had a then-brand-new Sega Dreamcast on display, the console hooked up to a TV monitor showing aSonic Adventuregameplay demo on a loop.

Warning: Spoilerific
I’m putting a spoiler warning atop this article, but really, for anyone with any passing interest in this alleged new horror game which surfaced at Gamescom, the cat is already well out of the bag – or perhaps more appropriately, the cockroach is already out of the bathroom. It should have been obvious from the beginning this was not all it was purported to be – a horror game ‘preview demo’ from a studio nobody has ever heard of gets announceda proposof nothing at Gamescom, which as a commercial event is well known as a venue for free coverage for beginners (ahem), and then gets its own segment on the Playstation Store.

Fextralife’s Hands-on with the Next Generation of Souls
Finding Sony Computer Entertainment Europe wasn’t too hard, nor was finding theBloodbornebooth. Among all the shiny bright-blue stages, screens and speakers bursting loud music & trailers, and on-stage hosts rallying the crowd with giveaways and contests; the weathered, pointy steel fence and graveyard-gate-like entrance to the Bloodborne showcase stuck out like a sore, dark-enchanted, grimy thumb.
I introduced myself to the nearest member of the blue-shirted local Sony police force, who in turn kindly hooked me up with a media fast pass – and the license to cut line was badly needed, given one of the smallest kiosks got among the biggest attention.

Bloodborne: Early Lore Theories
Dear Friend, take heedThe blood is foulAnd when night fallsThe hunters return
This dialogue is very important. with the “Dear friend, take heed”, we can assume the man speaking either is close to you, or feels a kinship with you as he sets you off on your quest. I believe his role is the same as that of the old Firekeepers in Things Betwixt at the beginning of Dark Souls II, a wise sage, or an older character who establishes your reason to be in the world.

Everything You Must Know About Final Fantasy VII
The story of Final Fantasy VII is a fairly straightforward monomyth (hero’s journey), at least at face value. Our hero Cloud Strife starts off self-centered and uncaring but after spending time with friends he slowly becomes more empathetic. His crowning achievement is twofold:
Never in gaming has there been a better presentation of the metaphorical (and in this case literal) story of “finding oneself.

Essentially, what these companies have done is create something akin to a Netflix model for game distribution. For anyone willing to wait 6 to 8 months into a game’s release, they can play it for what amounts to an extremely low fee. This bold move isn’t surprising, considering that even EA must realize how quickly the value of these annual games drop as the next one approaches. Yet, for casual players who do not drink the Kool-Aid every year, these titles represent incredible value-added content that neither Sony nor Microsoft’s premium membership can offer, especially when considering that sports titles have high value in the first year, but after two year become worthless since EA shuts down their servers.

Iron Keep: A Castle in the Right Spot

Project Morpheus Hands-On Preview
Introduction
VR Headsets. We’ve seen them come and go over the years as if it was trying to outdo our changes in style of clothing. You could tell something was there, something intriguing, but with flat colors and angular shapes made out of what looked like large childhood building blocks, if VR were to ever catch on, it sure had a huge uphill battle to fight. Like VR, 3-D has periodically reappeared in the mainstream over the years, with each iteration improving upon the last.

This article is me presenting the evidence I’ve been collecting over the last couple months of playing Dark Souls II. It lead me to the conclusion that the Iron Keep location and elevator ride are not mistakes at all.

The world had struggled against these bestial half-breeds for centuries, until King Arthur formed his Knights of the Round Table and discovered Black Water – a mystical liquid that prolongs one’s life and gifts supernatural healing abilities.

And though there will always be a place for the classic military shooters likeCall of DutyandBattlefield, some developers are betting big on original ideas and new IPs to pave the way for the next generation of first-person shooters.

How Diablo II taught me about ethics and entrepreneurship
Christmas lights twinkled in the garage, while a chorus of colon evacuations permeated the air with vile particulates. Since the ambient temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit – and we were morons – space heaters and desktop computers shared surge protectors. The power went out a couple times, but that wasn’t the only contradiction to our science education; duct-taped grocery bag insulation was not found to retain heat.

Lost Local Loyalty: The Decline of Offline Multiplayer
I find it peculiar that the more advances we make in communications, the less connected we truly are. Social gatherings have become a mark on the proverbial headboard as opposed to an experience.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Witnessing a Metamorphosis
Over the years I’ve often experienced this strange sensation while traversing the vast lands of Tamriel, immersing myself in its rich lore and atmosphere: this bizarre feeling that Bethesda had created their world just for me. Late nights assassinating NPCs for the Dark Brotherhood or fending off Daedric invaders has frequently evoked goosebumps and awe.
Whether it’s fending off a vampire menace leading me to feel like humanities last bastion of hope in the darkness, or wielding the power of a dark lord making me feel like a force to be reckoned with, the Elder Scrolls series has always made me feel like an integral component to the world around me.

Videogames and Violence: An Agenda Disguised as Reportage
Frankly, it can be a rollercoaster reading news media these days. I was generally encouraged bySimon Parkin’s articlein theGuardianon April 20th on story-telling in videogames. This was a national newspaper piece on a broad topic which gets regular discussion in the videogames press: are videogames visual art, literature, or a mixture of both? The article references recent hits like Telltale Games’The Walking Dead, indie hitGone Homeand even ageing and frequently re-made classicThe Secret of Monkey Island.

Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks of All Time
Quite possibly the most under-appreciated aspect of video games is the music. People obsess over graphical fidelity, control responsiveness, and level design, but sadly a game’s score is often glossed over.
Yet a great soundtrack can drastically increase the gaming experience. Having the right music can be crucial to triggering a visceral, emotional response; to building excitement or emphasizing sadness. Can you imagine sitting through hours ofCivilization Vwithout its beautiful, ambient soundscapes?

I Might Feel a Little Bad For Microsoft.
I think the late nights and occasional early mornings are starting to get to me, because I’m actually starting to feel a little bit bad for Microsoft. Note, when I say a little bad, I only actually mean a tiny bit bad and nothing more. Allow me to explain:
As we all know, when the Xbox One was first announced it was host to all sorts of controversial features, like the inability to play used games and a requirement to always be connected to a broadband source.

Project Dark Ring Chapter One: Born in the Dark and Warmed By the Fire
In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of grey crags, arching trees and everlasting dragons. Then there was Fire and with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course… Light and Dark.
Then, from the Dark they came and found the souls of Lords within the flame.

Mass Effect 4 May Not Be as Far Along as We Thought.
This news may come as shocking to some, but Mass Effect 4 might actually still be in early development. The Bioware Montreal director, Yanick Roy, says they haven’t even settled on a name yet.
Roy was addressing a rumor that the new title would be called Mass Effect: Contact, and take place during the First Contact War – a rumor spawned and perpetuated by twitter.

Hajime no Ippo Review
Way back whenI did my last review, I mentioned my personal challenge to find anime with good unarmed combat. What I found wasAir MasterandHajime no Ippo,and I swore to myself they would be the next two series I reviewed. If only I’d known how long of a road I’d laid out for myself with that second one. With as long asHajime no Ippohas been airing, I had more than my fair share of episodes to get caught up on, and it’s consumed almost all of my anime-watching time from that review to now.

Dark Souls and Climate Change
The world is on the brink of despair. Not so long ago, we prospered in a relative paradise by exploiting what was available in nature around us. But now that we’ve learned our actions affect our environment, the story has changed. Though we know our fuel taints and pollutes the environment and has disastrous consequences on our society, we desperately cling to the last few sources of energy left.

Project Beast is Likely a Shadow Tower Game
Just a single day after I asserted on theINT Spec Podcastthat Project Beast was almost definitely Demon’s Souls 2, new evidence has caused me to completely alter my opinion. The newly leaked FROM game Project Beast – probably headed by ‘Souls’ mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki – is likely a new entry in the Shadow Tower series.
Shadow Tower is a first-person, action oriented role-playing game, released only in Japan on the Playstation.

Every loose end but one received a knotlast time. Here we go…
Chapter 17
The King is Dead(by Megadeth?)
The False King awaits me. My last challenge. The end of the road for all intents and purposes. I have some souls. Enough for a few levels actually. I end up with enough slots for Firestorm and enough magic to use it once. Adding some ultra masculine Old Spice to my pack, I head up for my last battle.

Project Beast Leaked: Possible New Souls Game for PS4
Well, the day many Souls fans have eagerly anticipated may be at hand. Some image reveals today from an industry stream certainly seem to indicate that the long rumored next gen Souls game is a reality. There are no details at all outside of these stills, and the knowledge that it is on the PS4, developed by From Software and Sony’s Japan Studio with indication that Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki is at the helm.

Collections
I won’t lie: I really like collections. I’m a gamer who enjoys a good variety of games, across most genres. Unfortunately, that means that there are way too many games out there, across all my systems, for even the most dedicated gamer in my shoes. I do my best to keep up, but it is inevitable that games will fall through the cracks. Sure, I usually wait for the more common games to drop in price to avoid overspending and fit more games into my budget.

Dark Souls Babe to Dark Lord Part 5
Part 5: Black. Iron. TARKUS!
Last time on Dark Souls Babe to Dark Lord! I danced through my least least LEAST favorite area of the game! Kill Queenlag! Played the bells in the school band! Fun times!
I escape the terrible Blighttown, more than happy to be breathing un-dank air. I look over to the side, and see the ledge leads onward, deeper into the Valley of the Drakes.

From Software acquired by Kadokawa Publishing
TodayKadokawa Publishingannounced its acquisition of shares of From Software Inc. in a public press releaseavailable here.
This may seem surprising given the seeming press and print focus of the company, but it is of note that Bandai Namco Holdings isone of the primary shareholdersof the company, which may shed light on this distinctive decision.
The press release highlights the achievements of From Software such as owning its 3D technology and supporting successful international launches and recognition.

Bargain Bins. Hear Me Out!
Today’s topic is likely to turn a few heads. I mean, it’s hard to imagine anyone would want to talk about these piles of trash. The idea came to me last night, from two separate sources. One was the latest episode of Ports Centre, about the N64 port of Starcraft. In the comments, I mentioned that my favorite console rts is a game called Goblin Commander for the ps2.

Things Every Writer Should Know
The internet is filled with articles and opinions; websites filled to the brim with content about everything from video games to basket weaving. And porn. Lots of porn. Peculiar perversions aside, the web is an excellent place for a new, enthusiastic writer to start projecting their thoughts and ideas out into the world. If you’re one of those fledgling wordsmiths, first off I applaud you. Writing is a rewarding and stimulating hobby that allows you to creatively convey your cerebral kookiness to the rest of the world.

Where All Stands Still: Dark Souls
Istep forward, into the stillness of past regrets. Nothing’s changed here, nothing has been touched in ages. Everything sits, eerily waiting for its savior. One can tell the history was made here, some event, which has since been lost to time, occurred at this very place.
The sky is blotted out by the vast cloud cover, giving the land a melancholy coloring. A structure lies in the distance, a very large structure which, at a time, must have been a grand spectacle.

PS4 Update 1.70 Announced.
Oh, the ps4. A system that has sold over seven million units in a relatively short time frame. For all the strong sales figures, however, gamers are constantly complaining about its lack of features. Sure, some will argue that game systems are about the games, and I agree with that, but consoles have become much more versatile devices in the past decade, and I don’t think people are out of line for wanting more features either.

The Last of Us, and Why it Didn’t Blow My Mind, but Also, Why I Think That’s Ok.
Ah, The Last of Us. Naughty Dog’s latest, which set the Internet on fire, in a remarkably short time frame. Actually, the game was hyped up before it was even released, but it lived up to that hype, and then some. I remember, shortly after the game’s launch, hearing so many people, critics and fans alike, going on and on about what an emotional ride this game is, and how it took videogame based narratives to a whole new level, not previously seen before.

Daily Lives of High School Boys
Story
A gag comedy about the lives of boys in an all boys schools and various girls from other schools. In this “slice of life” there is no dramatic event going on there isn’t a dramatic love triangle, theres no school club trying to survive a semester, heck there isn’t even any coherent story going on. Its just talking about crazy students and there crazy lives, and somehow it works really well in this anime.

Dota: a hobby, a game and a practice
Oh Dota, where would I be without you. Having logged over 980 hours on Dota 2 on my very first Steam account back when you had to pay for it this game really captured my interest. This game really has its ups and downs but if you stick with it it will reciprocate your time and love for it. For those unfamiliar with the game let me explain just what Dota is, how it works and the more finer aspects of it.

Before the last, foes must be passed; something something [insert word rhyming with “King.” How about “string?”].

Dark Souls II DLC pack (Rumor)
Thanks to an inside (and obviously anonymous) source, Fextralife.com has received an exclusive first look at brand new DLC content for From Software’s Dark Souls II. From what we’ve heard, it’s the first of many planned releases over the next year. The first DLC pack will contain oodles of new stuff to keep things lively while dying repeatedly. When asked what prompted the fast release of DLC for this game, our anonymous source replied:

Zero Sum
Most modern video games are a series of encounters. These encounters vary in name genre to genre and game to game. We call them quests, battles, traps, levels, or dungeons. On the surface, each one pits us against a particular adversary: monsters, treacherous terrain, a countdown timer, a puzzle. But peeling back the gameplay facade – moving past the viewpoint of players as characters and looking at the players as players – the real antagonist is the game designer.

Dark Souls 2 Total Lore and Location Breakdown
Well, it’s been nine days (for me) since venturing back into the world of Dark Souls. Nine days of death, frustration, oppression, elation, wonderment, and obsession. And, like several others I have seen around the internet, I have noticed some striking similarities between Drangleic and our former home of undeath in the world of curses and souls: Lordran. In fact, I personally believe that it has become rather undeniable that Drangleic stands on the same area of land that Lordran did, as evidenced by many hints and clues left in the game.

Last time saw me being ridiculously overleveled and experienced to the point where I was able to breeze throughan entire world in one chapter. Hurray for expediting an end to the series! With all of the areas being cleared at this point we’re down to the loose ends. The “filthy” NPC from last chapter would likely have a great joke for the term “loose ends” but I won’t go there(1).

Dark Souls Lore: On Crossbreed Priscilla
Hood worn by the alabaster-clothed guardians of the paintings in Anor Londo. Offers substantial protection against magic. They have guarded the Great Painting of Ariamis for ages, passing their duty down through generations, but the reason for doing so passed from all memory long ago.
An interesting note is that the reason they guard the great painting passed fromallmemory. The obvious meaning is that the guardians don’t know why they guard the painting, but is there a deeper implication?

5 Games Made for Trophy Hunters
Alright, well before we start this list off I’d like to do a bit of explaining on why these games are made for trophy hunters. Now the main goal for many of us that hunt for trophies consists of obtaining the platinum trophy or unlocking all of the trophies available, the same also goes for those that hunt for achievements on Xbox. However, one thing I always say about obtaining these trophies isn’t that we should place a large amount of value on the platinum itself but rather the journey towards the platinum.

Why I Love Dark Souls
When I tell people that Dark Souls is one of my most-loved games, sometimes I get a weird look. A lot of people ask “Why? What’s so great about it?” I’ve been able to tell them the basics — the combat is smooth and authentic, the atmosphere is engrossing, the gameplay is punishing but fair, and the sense of achievement after winning a fight or discovering a bit of lore is bar none in modern gaming.

Are Games Crippled By Easy Modes?
When you start up some games for the first time you have a very important decision to make (once you’ve passed the loading screens and company logos). What difficulty to play on? Take it easy and make your way through the story? Or play it on hard to truly challenge yourself?
A rose by any other difficulty would smell as sweet?
Rayman games are known, by the few people who play them, for their difficult platforming.

I’ve been hesitant to write this article for a good while now. I had planned to write it just the week after part 1, but the subject matter to be discussed I found difficult to formulate into words. After sitting on it for a good few months now I don’t think I’m going to get any more sudden clarity so I figured I might as well just go for it and hope something ends up working.

Introduction to Anime
What is Anime?
Anime is a type of Animation usually from Japan. They have their own style and it can show that in strange and wonderful ways. Anime also has its own sense of comedy and has a unique way of thinking. It can get really deep and serious, or it can become the silliest and craziest thing you have ever seen. Anime is also related to manga, which is similar to the super hero comics, well, in the way that its presented.

My Top 5 RPGs of All Time
I’ve always been a huge fan of Role Playing Games. I don’t know why they appeal to me so much. I love the worlds surrounding them, the characters with in them, the choices you get to make and the consequences you must live with. I love that often times you think you will play your protagonist a certain way based upon the opening narrative and the class you select, and then you find yourself at the end of the game and things are markedly different.

This was a landslide one and it’s a hard one to deny. Naughty Dog continues to outdo themselves, unbelievably creating a new franchise that stands with Uncharted. This is a game that would stand tall in even the most jam packed gaming year.
It’s really hard not to hand ND this award and not simply because they developed the game of the year. They continue to be an example of a video game developer who does things the right way, creating games that follow their vision while also engaging the fans.

My, was I in for a visual treat! The game is picturesque in its design, and although “cartoonish” in its Style, a Beauty to behold. The game is graphically beautiful and McFarlane really did the hype justice and delivered a wondrous environment for our adventures.
The gameplay I have found to be rather rewarding. You have a Primary and Secondary Weapon which Can be Any combination of any and all weapons found within the game: You can mix a Greatsword with Daggers or a longbow with FaeBlades.

Storywise, the game allows you to chose your hero from one of 7 races, varying from bird-like to fish-looking to robotics, and you can experience their introduction stories accordingly. Playing as an Avian, I was forced to flee my home planet, but eventually ran out of fuel and had to make a stop on a new world to re-stock.

The Gamer’s Lounge
It’s always fun to check in with folks and see what everyone is playing right now. With so much of video game news focused on new releases it’s easy to forget that we are all playing lots of games and very many of them are not new releases.
Recommendations from fellow gamers is arguably the best way to discover gems, especially hidden ones from small operations that can’t afford a big marketing budget.

How to make an accessible hardcore game: Part 3
We hear it all the time:
What does it all mean? Are games really undergoing a transition to become easy experiences with easy rewards and just tickle your brain into a dopamine high? Read on to find out. We have discussed the terminologyhere, and chosen Dark Souls as an examplehere.
How can we make Dark Souls accessible without compromising it’s challenge? The key to creating a sequel worthy of its players is to understand how the players operate and who they are, and to not forget we are two years post-launch and impressions are not fresh or unbiased.

Green Lantern: A Geeky Love Letter
I love comics and have since I was young, thanks to an encouraging uncle and parents who saw the literary merit in comics, even if they did not entirely get the medium. Making my way to the local comic store to pick up the current issues from my pull list was a day I looked forward to each week. Holding that stack of comics and the anticipation of the next few hours of reading put me at ease in a way few pastimes ever have.

In the game of League of Legends, people typically have roles that they do. There are the Marksmen that sit in the back and shoot at people, the bruisers that deal damage while being tanky, the tanks that just plain take on the entire team, the mages that deal magic damage and debuff the enemies, so on and so forth. With their roles sending them to their corresponding lanes.

Xbox One vs PS4: Making The Hard Choice Between Consoles
Here’s the scenario: You wake up one morning with a new tattoo, no memory of where it came from, and $500 of mystery cash in your pocket. Obviously, it’s a sign from the universe that you were meant to buy a new game console. Getting the scratch is the easy part. But since the universe did not see fit to place $1,000 in your pocket, it leaves you with the agonizing decision of which one to buy.

Mythic Dark Souls (pt 2) : The Departure
The most important component of the departure is context. We must acknowledge that the game and our character do not exist in a vacuum. Dark Souls does this through the opening cinematic, introducing the setting and story premise. Together with our own selections of character class, features, and gift, a rudimentary sense of continuity is established. That sense is crucial to grasping some later concepts, but the game leaves the finer points of imagining who your character once was to you.

I’m rapidly running out of areas. Basically, the list consists of finishing Latria, heading to the valley, Killing the Storm King (should be easy, probably just try the Tower Shield) and of course the Black World Tendency in most areas to test my skill against the Black Phantoms of the land.

Mythic Dark Souls (pt 1) : What is the Heroes’ Journey?
In 1949, a psychologist named Joseph Campbell published a book entitledThe Hero with a Thousand Faces. In this work, he examined stories and legends from around the world, filtering away the specifics of culture, region, and circumstance to expose universal psychological truths buried beneath the surface of these disparate stories. These commonalities have been with us since ancient times, subtly present in tales as far-ranging asJourney to the West, the legend of King Arthur, and even the stories of multiple notable figures in the Bible.

Dark Souls II Covenants and Screenshots
Covenants will be available early on in Dark Souls II and provide the player with multiple new ways to interact with their world and other players. Some offer assistance and protection from invaders, others bring new goals such as defending areas, and some demand the blood of other players.
Most likely related to the bells that the player must ring in order to access Sen’s Fortress in Dark Souls, this covenant seems to feature a black form for its players when as phantoms.

Air Master Review
I was hanging out with my roommates one night and we got on a martial arts movie clip binge where we’d all look up fight scenes from various martial arts movies and bask in the kung fu action. I had a thought of “anime has a lot of over-the-top fight scenes too, I should find some of those to show!” At which point I realized that every series I’d ever seen with good fight scenes all involved armed combat with weapons, nothing hand-to-hand to match the mood of the night.

The Grumpy, Ageing, Cynical Gamers’ Guide to “Next-Gen”
At leastStar Trekhad the decency to have only one ‘next generation.’ The first episode aired in 1987, about a year before the release of Sega’s Mega Drive. The Mega Drive was arguably the first ‘next generation’ games console, succeeding the Master System. Of course, there were Atari’s efforts from the 70s, but as that all went horribly wrong (with landfills full of ET cartridges) there was no continuity from Atari’s demise to the original Famicom or Master System.

I’m a borderline Sony Fanboy. Borderline in that I hold no ill will for Microsoft and Xbox and, truth be told, think they make a hell of a product too. I own a 360 and enjoy using it when there’s a rare exclusive I want to play. Let’s be clear here, apart from exclusives and a few features there’s not much difference between Sony and Microsoft gaming.

Dark Souls II Network Test: A Return To Drangleic
The first large-scale Dark Souls II Network Test left a bitter taste in the mouth of many fans of the series.
Server issues meant players in North and South America weren’t able to access the test at all and those in the EU region, who were able to log on, were left with a version in which multiplayer mechanics didn’t function. There were also criticisms of the combat from some players, who believed it didn’t feel as tight and responsive as the first Dark Souls.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Review
So, after a couple months of research and grueling first world problem reflection, I finally decided to make the leap into Android and leave the cult of Apple behind. Deciding on what smart phone to step into was an on again, off again affair. Narrowing it down to 3, I walked into the store prepared to make a game time decision. One look at the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I knew this was the one phone to rule them all!

Pokemon Origins Review
The key term to keep in mind when going into this (rather short) series is “nostalgia.” If you’re in your late teens/early twenties and part of Generation X where the very first Pokemon games (and I meanveryfirst, Red/Green/Blue only, anything after, including Yellow, and you’ve missed the timeframe) were pivotal and defining moments of your childhood, this show was made for you. For the newer generation of fans this is not going to be much more than a “this is how things used to be” kind of thing.

Reaperfan Rants: Misunderstanding Anime Part 1

Mostly though, what I’ve heard tends to be shallow-minded and either very vague or weak.

It has become so known throughout the world that there are huge tournaments, and it is hard to not meet someone that plays it.

This is of course after I destroyed a phantom lying in ambush (the second time) and absolutely did not get killed by a crossbow tower in a horrific shower of pointy things.

Hitting the Old Dusty Trails
Hiking, backpacking, and trail running are some of our oldest recreational activities. For the outdoor enthusiast, few things are more enjoyable than gearing up and hitting a trail solo, with friends or with a faithful pet. It’s an activity that anyone can enjoy regardless of age and it has very real physical, mental and spiritual benefits.
For me being on the trails is my preferred way to stay in shape.

Hikaru no Go Review
Anyone who’s seen anime has seen “that show.” The show about a boy/young man who embarks on a journey of growth in a particular skill or field, facing stronger and stronger opponents on their way to become the best of the best (supernatural assistance in reaching that point incredibly common but generally optional). It’s a tried and true formula that’s been around nearly as long as the medium itself.

However, this time is an exception. I will actively try to get you to understand why this is one of the worst sequels in modern video game history and a below-average standalone game at best.

From time to time we like to put together lists, and this is a list I chose to put together. No, Dark Souls isn’t on the list, but keep in mind I’ve played over a hundred games. I like it, but I don’t love it. Besides, I’ve only had it for a few months. Gimme a break.
Here are some rules about what went into this list:

Fate Zero Review
Reaperfan here! I’ve been into anime for a few years now, and would consider myself pretty well-acquainted with the medium. I’ve seen equally awesome, terrible, and awesomely terrible shows from all kinds of genres. I’m here now to tell you about a little show called Fate Zero.
Story
The Premise
In an otherwise modern society, magic has been studied for generations by many families of mages. A mystic artifact known as the Holy Grail is highly coveted by many of the elite mage families of the world as it is said that whoever owns it can have any wish they desire granted.

Demon’s Souls: Three Years Later (Part 6)
After heroically destroying zero bosses or creatures of note in Chapter 5, our protagonist (Ded 2) feels pretty good about the treasure he’s collected and will likely never use. Having a good number of souls to spend our adventure this time begins after a shopping spree. With an executive decision to thrill the masses Ded 2 decides to buy some magic spells to see what happens when a melee and archer player tries to get out of his comfort zone.

Dark Souls 2 Graphic Novel Announced!
This is a very cool development for the Dark Souls franchise. The creative team at the helm has some serious comic book experience so we can expect a quality release and a worthwhile collectible. Dark Souls is getting the AAA treatment as promised, as companion comics and media typically accompany big games like Mass Effect. Give a look below at a sneak peek from Namco at the inking of a page and check back with us for more Dark Souls 2newsandpre-order the game here!

Best Japanese Pranks Part 2
We continue our collection ofBest of Japan’s pranks– this time with some hilariously funny clips tricking “idol” and “talent” at their workplace. Don’t worry, it’s all covered under their contract!
In this one, a well-known performer is asked to negotiate with what he thinks are mafia representatives to get some location deal.
Aren’t they all dead? KYAAAAAAAA
You really shouldn’t trust your PR manager after this one!

My First Time Through Dark Souls
First, a short thanks to some guys in the chat for inspiring me to write about this today. It’s been a few months since I first started playing dark souls, and again a few months since I first beat the game. It took me only a few days to get through it, of which I’m not sure is the average or not. However, I feel it might be fun for some people to read my first time through dark souls and perhaps share their own experiences.

Rumor: Dark Souls 2 to have in-game Chat?
It has come to our attention that certain stipulations on Dark Souls 2 Beta EULA make it apparent the game will feature some sort of chat. This would be a big change for the series, so we are skeptical
It is worth nothing that EULAs often have general clauses that are not applicable to specific games as they are mass-produced and then fine tuned with specific options.

Playstation App and You
According to Sony’s President of Worldwide Studios (via Twitter):
Shuhei Yoshida @yosp:
“When you buy a PS4 game on smartphone, it will wake your PS4 up to start downloading the game. PS4 goes back to sleep after that.”
Yoshida gave some important details via the Playstation Blog:
Sony seems to be delivering on the social element here with a focus squarely on gamers and gaming. In an increasingly mobile world it’s smart to have a strong presence on smartphones and tablets.

BIKES ARE AWESOME 4: Hybrids!
Hiya guys and lasses. As you probably noticed, the last articles were quite the opposite from one to another. In two of them I talked about racing, in the latest, about touring. But…what happens in between? Is there some sort of “grey” zone, related to motorcycles? Some sort of…limbo? Or is everything either black or white?
Well, shockingly, that ”grey” zone is actually present! And it’s also quite possibly the biggest portion of the cake that is the world of motorcycles.

Demon’s Souls: Three Years Later (Part 5)
We return to the adventures of our “hero” following a (furniture) smashing night of cooperative online play. As opposed to chicken coop online play. Do I tantalize the readers by traveling to exotic new lands and facing the epic challenges that await? Or, will I just redo an area to make sure I didn’t miss any treasures to satisfy my own Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder tendencies?

Rockstar’s GTA Online Still Navigating A Rocky Launch
By now, you’ve probably heard that the launch ofGTA Online, heralded by many to be the “next big thing” as far as multiplayer games, did not go as smoothly as Rockstar had hoped. A host of server related issues and bugs have rendered the mode nearly unplayable for many people. While this is to be expected, to some extent, when anything this ambitious launches, it can still be a frustrating experience.

Ahhh, New York! Home sweet home. When I say “New York” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? I’ve traveled a good amount in my day.

In addition, I’ve met and spoke with any number of persons online from all over the world.

Going Beyond Death At Eurogamer Expo
It’s fair to say the Souls series (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls and the forthcoming Dark Souls II) does things a little differently from its fantasy RPG peers.
Granted, at their core, Souls games aren’t especially groundbreaking. They pit swords and sorcery against hideously evil creatures in locales befitting of a fantastical world; enchanted forests, tombs populated by undead, dingy dungeons and crumbling castles.
All sounds very familiar, right?

Turbine Goes From Bad to Worse
Turbine support staff stated on the 30th that most issues were resolved, but players are still reporting repeatedly billing to their accounts. This isn’t the first time Turbine has had a “glitch” in their billing system. This already happened inAprilof this year! They even made an update to said system earlier this year.
Players and customers are complaining that Turbine is closing their threads and banning accounts that are asking for information and demanding answers in the forums.

Diablo visits Dark Souls
What would happen if you took two completely different games, both gameplay wise and lore wise, and smashed them together?
Well that’s exactly what I did withDark Souls, andDiablo 3– Which as of right now are my two favourite games -.
So what I did, is I took the five different classes from Diablo 3, and I made Dark Souls builds based on their movesets, armours, and overall the basic meta of how people create/use those classes.

Dark Souls’ Success
Ask anyone who has been playing the Souls’ franchise (Demon’s SoulsandDark Souls) from the beginning, and they’ll tell you how important the community has been in terms of injecting longevity into the game. What began as a loose-knit group of dedicated players who frequented the Demon’s Souls forum on the PS3 boards slowly grew in size, eventually migrating to a dedicated wiki and forum. Sharing their passion for what many consider to be the finest game franchise of this generation, they share strategies, builds, and gameplay stories with each other and newcomers to the games.

PS4 Prep: Remote Play and You
For any Vita lover it’s most likely a sure thing you’re getting a PS4. This is mainly because us fanboys were the ones who bought a Vita (or the fanboy’s wife bought it for him for Xmas…thanks Gorgeous!). But as sold as most of us are on the PS4, there’s been on thorn in our side for too long: Remote Play.
Originally this seemed like a bigger promise with the PS3.

Fextralife’s Most Wanted: Deep Down
One of the upcoming games we’re looking forward to here at Fextralife is Capcom’sDeep Down, slated to be released on PS4 sometime next year.Although not many details are yet known about the game itself, having watched all the footage I could get my hands on has me drooling already.
Deep Down is an action RPG created by Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono. From what we can deduce of the story so far, it would seem some cataclysmic event occurs in the distant future, plummeting the main character (and presumably everyone else) into a modern day Dark Ages.

In Defense of the Vita
The Vita gets a lot of flak, but it already has a surprisingly deep and quality library of games. With it’s ability to also play PSP and PS1 classics (and make them look better than ever), and the free game support from PS+, the Vita offers something for everyone. Let’s take a look at 7 of the handheld’s most redeeming qualities.
Currently on Metacritic64 Vita games are rated 75 or higher, which is the Metacritic threshold for generally favorable reviews.

So if you don’t have a five person family like I do then tone down the ingredients to suit your needs.

Diablo 3: Auction House No More
When I first heard about the plans to implement an Auction House into Diablo 3, I was skeptic and worried about how such a tool would impact a loot-focused game. Call me a Cynic, but all I saw was an attempt to justify always-online and to make some money out of micro-transactions. I ended up getting the game at launch anyway and,as my PS3 review touches on, I was not all that happy and it was indeed the AH’s fault.

Steam Family Sharing: Finally!
Today we learned aboutSteam’s “Family share” program. The beta testing is by registration and with limited spaces, so make sure to visit the page and register if you would like access.
The PC market’s application of “One purchase one user” has been used to defend the Xbox 1 original value proposition and to signal that eventually everything would go that way with consoles as well. It would seem Steam has some intelligence against these common notions and is acting to implement a system that allows you to share your offline/solo adventures with registered PCs.

Attack on Titan Anime Review
Animereview for Attack on Titan– a project based on the Kodansha-published manga byHajime Isayamaand first published onSeptember 9, 2009. Let me just start by saying this the first Anime I’ve really watched from the start (I’ve seen a few episodes of random Anime here and there, but often didn’t know what the fuck was going on as it was like season 3). I’ve never been a fan of Anime, it just never appealed to me.
