Civil war breaks out in Helldivers 2 as players spawn infinite mechs to crash each other’s games
Helldivers 2 players are pleading for people to stop using a newly discovered infinite Stratagem glitch that lets you shower planets in airstrikes. Something went very wrong with the last patch and messed up how Stratagems normally work: Using a simple combination of inputs, you can now spam them until the game can’t handle it…
Hideo Kojima says most Death Stranding playtesters told him ‘it was a terrible game,’ and he’s a little bummed Death Stranding 2 is testing way better
No matter what reactions a Hideo Kojima game elicits from you, we can all appreciate swinging for the fences. Death Stranding is the sort of game that, in our profoundly risk-averse business, should have never gotten the sizable Sony-backed budget it did, but such is the power of Kojima’s name. Still, I have to imagine…
Avowed lets you replace spiders with orbs in the first of its major updates coming this year
Avowed follows the classic RPG rubric for enemy types and is therefore full of spiders. It’s also full of bears for some reason, but, trust me, there are lots of spiders. That means anyone who can’t stand spiders couldn’t play what is a pretty killer RPG. Thankfully it’s becoming more and more common for games…
Artist accuses Bungie of stealing her designs for Marathon’s art: ‘I am tired of designers from huge companies moodboarding and parasitising my designs while I struggle to make a living’
Bungie is, once again, being accused of using the designs of an independent artist without permission, pay, or attribution. In a post on X earlier today, visual artist Antireal said that Marathon’s environment art uses design elements pulled directly from her 2017 poster designs. “Bungie is of course not obligated to hire me when making…
After hearing the king of funny Elder Scrolls clips explain how Oblivion NPCs work, I have a newfound respect for elves who steal food when they’re hungry and husbands who fight their wives’ dogs
If you’ve seen a funny Elder Scrolls clip on YouTube or elsewhere on the internet in the past few years, it was probably from Bacon_, whose wry editing and lack of commentary allow his videos of the notoriously janky games to just speak for themselves. His own favorite video in his catalogue, the eight-second “I…
Nintendo Unveils Diddy Kong’s Brand New Design
Cap’s off. Diddy Kong has been strangely missing in action from much of Nintendo’s marketing, particularly around the Switch 2. At least he was there when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD came out in January…? Anyway, the big question on everyone’s lips when Donkey Kong was shown off in Mario Kart World back in January,…
The Rise of Social Casinos: Why They’re Gaining So Much Popularity
downright embarrassing amounts of hours playing neon slots on my phone while fantasizing that I’m on a roll on the computer in my pajamas surrounded by a pile of leftover pizza. Enter the social casino — where everyone is a high roller and fun never stops. If you’ve been wondering why your aunt has…
Dune: Awakening beta players extracted nearly 9 million liters of blood last weekend, enough to fill 3 Olympic-size, extremely gross swimming pools
Funcom has shared some stats on the Dune: Awakening beta that took place last weekend, and players certainly got up to some bloody business. The only substantial water supply in the early game is the blood of your enemies, and in four days of the beta players extracted 8,715,331 liters of blood from fallen foes…
Stellar Blade comes to PC next month with new armor to cover up Eve’s woefully exposed ears
Stellar Blade, the action game where if you squint it will look like Nier: Automata, is finally coming to PC on June 11. Actually, you don’t even have to squint to make it look like Nier: Automata because the DLC that lets main character Eve wear 2B’s outfit comes with it. It’s a complete edition,…
A year after Bandai Namco killed its anime MMO, Blue Protocol is getting a second, different anime MMO in the same universe
In August 2024, Bandai Namco announced that it was shuttering service and cancelling Europe and US launch plans for Blue Protocol, its anime action MMO that had been playable in Japan since 2023. Players grieved. They wept. In January, they danced in their virtual world’s final moments as Blue Protocol went offline forever. You can…
