Following Orders! As you advance throughCall of Duty: Warzone 2DMZ, you’ll come across a mission called Follow Instructions. This is a Tier 4 story mission for theLegion faction. Completing this mission successfully will unlock Tier 5 for the same faction, adding a new range of missions to your gameplay. Just as the name suggests, this mission requires you to follow a set of instructions. You will receive a note from someone at the Al Bagra Fortress Dead Drop, and it is important to retrieve and read this note to receive further instructions for the mission....

Pray return to the Waking Sands Lately, I’ve been trying to coerce some friends of mine into playingFinal Fantasy XIV. While I love the RPG bits of the game, I sometimes find myself shrinking away fromthe MMO parts, and I truly want to get a more social experience out of the thing I’m inexplicably paying a monthly fee for. The problem my friends are facing, though, reminds me a bit of a problem I was facing just about a year ago when I started my ownFFXIVjourney in full force: it’s just… not very fun....

After removing the wards preventing you from reaching the surface world, you can now breathe the fresh air. Except, you can’t. At least not yet. You have to complete an incantation to keep you alive on the surface, and for that, you need to find Thalamus inHades 2. To get Thalamus inHades 2, you must grow it by planting and growing Origin Seeds. Yes, Thalamus is technically a plant (I guess?...

Both are easier to get out of Oathbound Chests I’m loving the knight/medieval theme of the newFortniteseason, and that includes some regal weaponry. Well, at least the Ex-Caliber Rifle! Here’s where to find it, the goofyHalo-esque Shockwave Hammer, and how to defeat the Ageless Champion boss NPC in one fell swoop. You can find the Shockwave Hammer and Ex-Caliber Rifle easier via Oathbound Chests You’re going to have an easier time locating the Ex-Caliber Rifle and Shockwave Hammer through Oathbound Chests....

‘Thank you for your candid feedback and support’ Humble Bundle has announced that it will abandon its plan to replace the storefront’s dividend sliders with static, capped options.The Humble Bundle storewill continue to allow its customers to decide what portion of their purchases are donated to the store’s many charities. The controversial plans wereannounced in April, and would have seen the current Humble Bundle system — which lets the customer plot the distribution of each sale between charity, publisher, and Humble Bundle itself — replaced with two flat-rate choices: “Default Donation” (5% to charity) and “Extra to Charity” (15% to charity)....

Four days, five bosses The race to get a world first clear for Uldir,World of Warcraft‘s newest Mythic (above normal and heroic as the highest difficulty available) raid heralded in by theBattle for Azerothexpansion, is heating up. Uldir arrived just this past Tuesday and while select plucky guilds tore up the ruins on day one, they hit a major wall in Fetid Devourer: a chimera-like fight that’s mostly designed as a gear check with a quick enrage timer....

We’ve missed you, Spidey As part of anend-of-year postfrom PlayStation,Marvel’s Spider-Mandeveloper Insomniac has returned to give us the newest update on the game’s sequel: a release window. The PlayStation blog is meant to highlight the platform’s upcoming highlights for the new year, and what better way to start it off than with Insomniac’s announcement thatSpider-Man 2will be coming in fall of 2023. Okay, so that’s a pretty big window, and there’s always the chance that the game could be delayed....

Get your stealth on One of the biggest and most widely-held criticisms ofBioShock Infinitehad to do with all theviolence. Many thought that it did a disservice to the narrative by being too over-the-top. Irrational aims to make amends of sorts with a new mode forBioShock Infinte: Burial at Sea — Episode Two. Dubbed1998 Mode, a take on the game’s “hardcore” 1999 Mode, it tasks the player with only using non-lethal tools....

If someone were to ask me where I’d like to first hear Metallica’s new single, the answer would be simple: “Nowhere.” But the idea of any band (even the aging metal pioneers, who haven’t really put out an album I’ve liked since the early 90s) premiering a new single as a playable song inRock Bandhas me intrigued. In a recentRock Mountain Newsarticle, Brian Crecente pulls some interesting tid bits out of MTV’s senior vice president of home entertainment, Al DeGooyer....

Tonight on it’s the mind we examine the phenomenon of Deja Vu It seems like only yesterday that Keiji Inafune announced the Kickstarter campaign formMighty Number 9at PAX East. It was an exciting day for Mega Man fans. Just looking at the commemorative t-shirt from that event still puts a smile on my face. Since then, the game has raised nearly $4 million in funding. That’s a lot of money to generate based off some promotional art, a little test footage and the goodwill of emotionally invested fans....

Japanese-centric publisher stream returns You might remember that during the months and months of E3’s 2020 live stream showcases, (which I dubbed “Endless3” because I’m a talented man), theNew Game+ Expo made its debut presentation– a special stream featuring a glut of news and reveals from Japanese-centric publishers such as Arc System Works, NIS, Aksys, Natsume, and others. And it looks like the show is set to return, although this time you won’t have to wait until the summer, as New Game+ Expo 2021 will be taking place as soon as next month, March 4 to be exact....

Konami showed off a brand new trailer forMetal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eaterduring the Xbox Game Showcase 2024. It shows off some familiar-looking gameplay with a much-needed new coat of paint and confirms the return of Naked Snake’s original voice actor, David Hayter. While we’ve seen snippets of gameplay of theMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eaterremake before, we’ve never seen it in action like this. The trailer contains key moments from the game with their fantastic upgraded graphics, but the gameplay seems to remain pretty true to the original....
