‘PlayStation is the best place to play’ Every once in a while I still find myself chuckling over the executive comment that “PlayStation is the best place to play,” when defending Sony’s cross-play blockade, which roughly translates to: “why would you want to play anywhere else?!” Well, because other platforms (in some cases, literally every other platform) have cross-play, and hence a bigger community of players with more player-created content and more longevity....

Faker takes down VVvert I’ve heard the phrase “that’s it, 1v1, heads-up!” so many times when it comes to video games, mostly with theHaloseries. You don’t normally think that it’s a thing for professionalLeague of Legendsplayers, but there actually is a duel mode in place. Two people pick Champions, play on the ARAM one-lane map, and battle it out for first to 100 minions, first kill, or first tower destruction (the main difference is that you can recall, unlike ARAM)....

Enjoy the dragons while you can News surrounding theGame of Thronesprequel had been sparse since the pilot was ordered but as thefinal seasonof the megahit nears, revelations of the new endeavor have become almost quotidian. We knowNaomi Watts is set to lead. We know it will take place thousands of years before the current timeline. We know there’s not a lot to know. One thing we can add to the list of knowns: there will be no Targaryens....

It’s the last achievement location I found, out of all four regions For the most part,World of Warcraft‘s exploration-based achievements are straight forward. Throughout the course of a campaign you’ll come across all of the key locations anyway, and most of them will pop. For the rest, all you really need to do is fly/travel into the fog of war on the map, and you’re good. But one (Apex Canopy) inWoW Dragonflightreally stumped me, and it took forever to find!...

Unlocked shortcuts will carry over to future playthroughs Hitman 3is building on the foundation of the last two games in many big and small ways, but that’s not to say there aren’t plenty of new elements, too. IO Interactive is experimenting with shortcuts in levels that, once unlocked by the player, will remain accessible from one sneaky session to the next. You’ll know them when you see them: there’s even a “shortcut unlocked” pop-up on the screen....

Bring back amiibo games, but do it right this time The whole amiibo craze has cooled down considerably in the past several months. In fact, no new amiibo have been confirmed or released since January 2020, making it the biggest drought in the history of the line since it started all the way back inNovember of 2014(I remember, I was there day one). Time flies! While the toys to life crash is partially to blame, Nintendo’s own handling of the figures, particularly around the calamitous Wave 4 stock problems, also likely contributed to their eventually downfall....

Good idea Beforethe gigantic free Wastelanders update forFallout 76, Bethesda solicited the help of its community by way of a private test server (PTS). It was a great move, and probably would have helped if Bethesda had done this way earlier inFallout 76‘s lifecycle, but the damage from the half-baked launch is in the past (but not forgotten), and now the company is trying to move the game forward. That means more private test server…tests....

shrug A new behind-the-scenes video forCall of Duty: Advanced Warfarehas confirmed that the game will indeed have audio. Guns will have the pew pew noises, dudes will go “oh no you shot me how did you know bullets were my weakness!?. Oh, and there will be lots of explosions.
