There are a ton of different items inStarfield, each with its own varying uses. Some are just junk to sell, while others are resources that you use for crafting and manufacturing. Every item type can have one of four specific rarities or qualities. Usually, this indicates how easy or hard an item is to find. Furthermore, for equipment items such as Weapons and Spacesuits, the quality is often indicative of its strength....

WOW, that’s a lot Showing up in the middle of a patch update for Blizzard, someWorld of Warcraftusers are finding that a boost to level 90 is available in the game’s store for $60. Not $20. Not $39.99. But $60. Maybe this isn’t supposed to be live yet,but users are soundingoff in several places after spotting the same shop item. So this could be a placeholder number of some kind that could later change, or it might not show up at all when it’s all said and done....

It’s all about player counts and time spent gaming We’ll be able to estimate but never truly know how many units the Xbox Series X or the Xbox Series S moved. It could be one, it could be one hundred billion. It could be somewhere in the middle. Microsoft’s done disclosing how many consoles it sells simply because that’s not a relevant metric for Xbox anymore. More is better — yes, obviously — but Xbox head Phil Spencer says that’s not the game division’s primary focus anymore....

It just dropped this week As of today, you’re able to go ahead and grab theResident Evil 7: Beginning Hourdemo that’s been available on PS4 for some time, and most recently, Xbox One. It’s on the shorter side, but it’ll give you a good idea of howRE7runs on your machine before you drop your cash on it, and contains a number of different PC options like an FOV slider. So far folks are reporting smooth uncapped framerates and no major widespread issues, so it seems worth the effort to at least try the 30 minute romp....

You know, it’s true, for every ten titles of World War II, there is maybe a couple modern fictional military shooters, four “pseudo-realistic” future titles, maybe a Desert Storm game, and if a publisher is feeling particularly adventurous, the Vietnam War. However, not many videogames seem particularly interested in representing the Korean War. So what do we do? We bring the Russian developer/publisher 1C Company to make a game about Americans in Korea with the tactical title,Theatre of War 2: Korea....

When banging on about it for years isn’t enough Publisher Atlus has releasedits annual customer surveyin its home territory of Japan, which this year includes a new and tantalising question specifically asking which Atlus releases fans would like to see ported to the Switch platform. The survey question… in question… asks the reader which releases would garner public interest, should they hypothetically receive a straight port (with no new or additional content) to Nintendo’s console....

Check out these new screenshots from Namco Bandai in our massive gallery and bug out with me. Help me get ready to blast massive bugs in their bug face with rocket launchers.

Quite often these days, we hear it said that “nobody wants to play 60-hour RPGs anymore.” Many of us even say as much ourselves, especially as an entire generation ages and finds itself with less time to pour into protracted experiences. Yet I don’t think it’s quite accurate to say we’re done with them—the truth is, nobody wants to play thesameRPG anymore. It’s generally recognized that, while most games continue to grow beyond the boundaries of genre, employing (or, just experimenting with) new technology and the maturation of a sophisticated audience, console RPGs are still far from a perfect science....

Cities: Skylines 2was the hotly anticipated sequel to the seminal 2015 hit, but itstumbled and fell flat. With bugs aplenty, no mods, and performance issues, there was much for the developer to work on. Now,Cities: Skylines 2‘s modding support is finally available at least. Of course,Cities: Skylines 2did have a slew of unofficial mods beforehand. Still, it wasn’t until the latest update – patch 1.1.0f1 – that Colossal Order finally added full-featured support with an in-game mod browser and beyond....
