Loving someone means putting up with all their flaws. In Final Fantasy 14’s case, that’s shrugging my shoulders and going “classic server tick moment” every time something that is definitely not supposed to happen does, in fact, happen. That’s been happening an awful lot more lately as I’ve been progressing through Dancing Mad (Ultimate), the…
Mostly what I do here at PC Gamer is wait for my colleagues to post about their tech issues in Slack and tell them to install Linux in response. Webcam broken? Linux. Frame drops? Linux. Distant relationship with your father? Linux can fix that. I am unfathomably, incandescently popular and no one wants me to…
If you were thinking Destiny 2’s ending couldn’t get any more depressing, you’re wrong. Unfortunately. In a reaction to my pondering of what Destiny 3 should even be (if ever made, of course), a streamer by the name of Chrizmo demanded something that’s been brought up a few times over the years: a dating sim….
During the 250+ hours I’ve spent eviscerating Darktide‘s hordes of poxwalkers and nurglefied hive inhabitants, few classes have gripped me as much as the Zealot. Is it the sweet purr of the chainsword as I grind off a Mauler’s face? Is it that rush as I slide into melee range with a squad of traitor…
What weapon comes to mind when you think of a Skitarii in Warhammer 40k? A Shock Maul? An Arc Rifle? Or even the cool Transonic Blades that the Sicarian Ruststalkers use? For me, and a lot of others, it’s their iconic longarm, the Galvanic Rifle. Visually, it resembles a flintlock with a glowing blue cylinder…
The best Darktide Skitarii build for my money is all about the powerful Chordclaw ability. While the Servo Skulls are certainly fun and provide a lot of utility, such as rezzing allies or solving puzzles, if you’re a melee-enjoyer like me, Chordclaw’s skewering hand is too good to pass up, and can brutalize both bosses…
After accidentally dropping its source code on GitHub last year and kicking the door wide open for modders, AMD has done something exactly what it promised to: It’s added support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards in its latest Adrenalin drivers. The 26.2.2 driver set doesn’t come with many other goodies (game…
A recent Steam release has been making the social media rounds of late. Congratulations On Your Purchase is a, I hesitate to say ‘game,’ but a product, released at the end of May, that costs $1,000 / £748. “You paid for this. Not accidentally. Not on impulse. You saw the price. You read the description….
As the creators behind the biggest gacha games of today—Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, to name just a few—miHoYo must be stinking rich. While the developer has expanded out into other industries, it’s used at least a bit of that wad of cash to pursue AI tech. Yippee. Just last month,…
Destiny 2 is slowly closing its doors—its servers aren’t shutting down, but Bungie has emphasised that it won’t be getting any more content, bar a massive quality of life patch that has left it in a relatively good, but inert and unchanging state. One might, if they were being cynical and cutthroat, think this is…
