In what feels like a common occurrence these days, some new DLC for a game came out and was quickly followed up with an apology from the developer. Paradox did it earlier this week for Crusader Kings 3, and now it’s Funcom’s turn with Dune: Awakening, which just released its first post-launch DLC, Lost Harvest….
Activision’s anti-cheat team has published an update on Call of Duty and Ricochet, claiming that with Black Ops 6 “we’ve made real progress.” Over the month of August “over 55,000 cheaters were disrupted by Call of Duty’s mitigations” and the Ricochet team even allow themselves a bit of a chuckle about how doltish some of…
Fortnite’s fastest mode, Blitz Royale, has been reskinned as an Iron Man mode for the weekend, with a new map and themed items for every player. The circular Stark Island has three locations based on Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Iron Man collaboration—Stark Industries, Stark Cabin, and Stark Academy—and it has fully replaced the regular Blitz Royale…
Resetting your skill tree has always been a chore in Borderlands, as it’s long prided itself on build diversity, though not all builds are equal. This is even more apparent in Borderlands 4, with each character having three massive skill trees and associated action skills. It’s a lot, and if you make a mistake, you’ll…
I suppose in an ideal world, games would launch and then never need updates at all, but I won’t pretend I’m not just a little happy to live in a world where the original Stalker games are getting patches again. To rectify a few more issues with the remasters of Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky,…
In case you didn’t know, because you’ve been living on Pluto these past few days, Borderlands 4 has launched. It’s not exactly been smooth sailing for 2K Games and Gearbox Software, the publishers and developers, as the game’s overall performance is rougher than the Drake Passage. To help matters (or make things worse, depending on…
Europe’s fastest supercomputer is now operational, and boy howdy does it have an impressive specs sheet. The JUPITER project (which stands for Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research, apparently) had its official ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this week at the Forschungszentrum Jülich campus in Germany, attended by the great and the good of…
It’s a good thing we have a lot of videogames coming down the pipe to keep us busy for the next few months (at least), because the big Balatro 1.1 update we’ve been waiting for since last year, that was supposed to come out this year, is going to take until next year to arrive….
MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) Last week: Finally finished my replay of Metal Gear Solid 3 and decided it’s easily the best one. Yesterday, a coworker shared a link to a little browser game that looked right up PC Gamer’s alley: Doomscroll, a top-down shooter played entirely with a scroll wheel. You move…
Borderlands 4 is finally here and the reaction is… well, mixed. Players mainly seem irked by a slew of performance issues on PC, though stuff like 2K’s overbearing terms of service haven’t helped either. But it’s easy to get too negative: the patches will flow, Gearbox will improve the performance, and we’ll be left with…
