The two recent entries Here’s a question that I’ve gotten a lot of in the past 24 hours — “where do you recommend picking up theSoulsseries?” Due to quite a bit of buzz behindBloodborne(which, thankfully, is actually good), people have started to give in to a craze that they have otherwise avoided up until now. But with four games under From Software’s belt, it can be tough to figure out where to start....
If you take the unforgivable curses, you’ll have an easier time Over the course of a 100% completion run and many, many spell challenges, I’ve started to fully acclimate toHogwarts Legacy‘s spell system. There’s a number of great combat spells to use that can make your life easier, so let’s go over the best of them here! As a reminder, we have a full spell list here to peruse! This list will be purely [damage] DPS-focused, so don’t be surprised if there are a lot of unforgivable curses and Dark Arts-adjacent spells on it!...
Bigger is better? Apple sold 10 millioniPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plusmodels during launch weekend, topping the sales record previously set by the iPhone 5S and 5C last year, the company has announced. At this point, you have to imagine a snowball effect — each new launch will outpace the prior one, regardless of whether or not the advances genuinely warrant another purchase. So many people satisfying their technolust and I’m just sitting here with a lowly iPhone 4....
If you’re one of the people who can’t get enough of sports minigame collections on the Wii (wait…there are people like that?), then boy, do I have a game for you! 2K Sports has just sent over the first screenshots of their upcoming sports minigame collection for the Wii,MLB Superstars, and they look — well, not terrible, actually (the images, that is). But the game’s premise certainly isn’t heartening. The press release (after the jump) mentions six minigames that “speak to the kid in all of us....
Uh What’s an eccentric near-billionaire (or as comedian Gary Gulman would say, “barely billionaire“) to do afterhe seemingly is forced to leave his own company? Travel the world with your [near] billions, of course. After basically not being seen in public since January he’s still ingrained in the VR world, and headed to Japan for a VR festival held in Tokushima, dressed as Quiet fromMetal Gear Solid V. Luckey is seemingly pulling a Phil Fish, going full parody character (I always thought Fish was a pretty meh Andy Kaufman, and he even had the on-the-nose avatar to drive that point home) andembracing his infamy....
How long before someone notced Writing for the Internet is strangely calming. I know that if I make a mistake (which I do, frequently) that I can quickly edit it and it’s gone forever. Unfortunately in the world of book publishing, that’s not so easy. When a mistake is made there, it’s forever. It’s especially bad when you manage to screw upthe title of the game your book is about....
[Hey all, Linde here. I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been regular with the BBL updates, but what with review crew and Podtoid and all, keeping it up to date has been kinda tough. But rather than let the ol’ column fizzle and die while I tend to other responsibilities, I thought I’d give it to Destructoid and let the rest of the staff share their favorite bargain bin finds with you as well....
Death, dismemberment, and demons, all just in time for Halloween According to Irish folklore, Samhain is the day on the calendar when doorways between the land of the living and the land of the dead and other regions of the supernatural open at their widest. Over time, the day morphed into what we now call Halloween, a holiday where children’s minds are filled with thoughts of monsters while they stuff their mouths with candy that will eventually kill their bodies....
Lookin’ good Perhaps I shouldn’t have watched thisGravity Rushtrailer yet. I mean, I fully intended to play the newPlayStation 4 remastersome day soon. Just not, like,right now. Not while there’sThe Witnessto wrap up,XCOM 2andFirewatchto start, and who knows what else on the near horizon. It’s probably best that I avoid investigating further. This footage, minimal as it is, has triggered something in my mind that foolishly thinks I can somehow take on all of this stuff at once without consequence....
In some very pleasant news,House Judiciary Committee and Hollywood thrall Rep. Lamar Smith has removed DNS blocking fromthe Stop Online Piracy bill. While this does not kill the bill outright, the removal of the most controversial aspect represents a huge de-clawing of this legal tiger. The DNS blocking provision allowed rights holders the ability to force any website it didn’t like under the covers — blocking the ability for United States residents to view it....
Kazutaka Kodaka’s latest bout of weirdness This past weekend, Izanagi Games revealed the existence ofDeath Come True, a mysterious new project written and directed by Kazutaka Kodaka, the wild mind behind the darkDanganronpaseries. Details at this juncture are quite sparse, but the studio has released a poster (which you can check out below).According to a translation by Gematsu, the text reads “Is this a movie? or a game?” followed by “A story that begins by your choices”....
Arrangements from the original Deus Ex by OverClocked ReMix While Eidos Montreal has had a secretDeus Exproject in the works, it’s not a new game. The studio has teamed up withOverClocked ReMixand the composer of the originalDeus Ex,Alexander Brandon, to craft eight remixes from the classicDeus Ex. Tracks will be released via theDeux ExFacebook fan pageover the course of the next few weeks, with the first track available today. Even more, we’ve had the chance to sit down with Eidos Montreal’s audio director, Steve Szczepkowski, to talk about the project, including questions as to why they’re focusing on the originalDeus Exrather than the more-recentDeus Ex: Human Revolution, and why Alexander Brandon wasn’t tapped to score the latter after his success with the original game....
If you’re keeping track of theResident Evilviruses, the problem this time around is the C-virus. It has spread all over the world, setting the stage for Capcom’s biggest outing for the series yet,Resident Evil 6. How big? Try six main characters, three main story campaigns, and full two-player cooperative play for all of it. But we already knew all of that, didn’t we?What we’ll get down to here is how it plays....
