Skyrim patch adds resistance bugs and backwards dragons

It seems that the first big patch forThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimis one to be avoided until it has, itself, been patched. While Bethesda fixed several issues, it appears to have caused a few breakages in doing so, not least of all to character resistances. Resistances that shield characters from damage are reportedly failing across the board. Full damage is being taken by characters no matter how many defensive bonuses they equip....

The Boys Season 4 gets uncomfortable, and a little wayward

The last two episodes ofThe Boyshave been a display of some of what the show does best- making entertaining bloodbaths out of situations that are complex and nuanced. Despite that, they have also demonstrated some of the biggest flaws that the writers just can’t seem to shake this late into the game. Content warning:This piece discusses issues of assault and non-consensual sexual acts. For all the fun that episode 5 of this season brought, it didn’t get much done....

Here’s a few from my library As of right now,there’s a small list of gameson Sony’s “PS4-only” backward compatibility list for the PlayStation 5. But running through my library at launch, I uncovered a bit more. Several aren’t that surprising (Battleborn), but a few of them are. Here are a few games from my library that currently give me a “playable on PS4” notice. First up, here is the official list as of the time of publication:...

These new Splatoon maps look like good fun

The squids are all right Splatoonisn’t done giving out content, which is great, because many of us aren’t done playing. The next major update is going to be a pair of maps: Ancho-V Games and Piranha Pit. One is set in a swanky office with raisable platforms (like in the excellent single-player), while the other is a ramp-filled quarry surrounded by water. It’s great to see those design elements migrate over....

This Fallout 4 and Disney Princess mashup works fairly well

Power Armor Cinderella While mashups are a pretty common art form, only a select few catch my attention on a regular basis. On the eve ofFallout 4reviews all across the globe (ours will be up at 8AM Eastern tomorrow), a reader showed me this Disney andFalloutmashup, and it works pretty well, all things considered. The main thing I dig is the theming of each frame, like Snow White chatting it up with woodland wasteland critters, Ariel conquering a sea creature, and the obvious “Belle with Beast” scene....

It is by no means wild to claim thatLethal Companyis one of the most revolutionary horror games of the past decade. It spawned a genre of its own, one where proximity voice chat plays a crucial role. But what if I told you that another game was made and just got its demo in the land of Steam Next Fest, where the best indies lie? The effect of the uncanny valley is immensely strong in Mimesis Enter:Mimesis....

Well, Crash 4 is absolutely coming to Switch and current-gen consoles pretty soon

Also ‘PC later’ I don’t get that many physical packages these days, but when I do, they’re usually pretty fun. Activision has beenvery cheeky with its marketingofCrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time,which ended up being pretty good! The bad news was that it only launched on two platforms (PS4 and Xbox One), but that’s changing very soon. In this very obvious press package that we received this week, Activision outright tells us thatCrash 4is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch, on March 12....
