We opted for a more general approach to give an idea of how Nahida’s skills function, one you can use as a baseline and experiment with to see what suits your style best. You may prefer a double Pyro team to increase Nahida’s skill damage and supplement it with an Electro support for Quicken reactions. Alternatively, Bloom might be your preferred reaction, especially with a certain Sumeru dancer in your party....
The Nintendo 3DS games introduced two of the more controversial mechanics in Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves, but Pokemon Sword and Shield’s mechanic, Dynamaxing, was the straw that broke Camerupt’s back. Smogon, the popular competitive Pokemon website, has been heating up in discussion on whether Dynamaxing should be banned from its 6v6 Singles play. In December 2019, after careful deliberation and discussion among its community, Dynamaxing was banned from its Singles 6v6 format with an overwhelming 87% pro-ban vote....

The Falconeer is available through Xbox Game Pass for Android, console, and PC is a lovely looking title. The RPG focuses on aerial combat and was created by independent developer Tomas Sala. It has been available through Steam since fall. It combines aerial fighting mechanics with an open world environment full of “fantastic enemies.” You will also choose between competing factions, all of which are at the mercy of the Great Ursee, a near-infinite body of water....
The most important part of the interview addresses the number of those eponymous games that’ll be featured at the show. Keighley noted that 40-50 games will be included in the show in “some way or another” – we just hope they’re not all announcements and new trailers (we can only write up news so fast on the night, after all). Given that “about half the show [is awards] and the other half is the announcements and premieres,” it sounds like it’s going to be a busy night moving at breakneck speed....
It’s Christmas, sort of, and while the wonder that is two weeks off work is inching ever closer, the guilt I feel for not writing about certain games is weighing me down. To lift that from my shoulders and not at all to fill a content gap on this website, here are a bunch of games I wanted to write about but didn’t get round to (definitely not because I played the Gears 5 Hivebusters DLC instead)....
While Game Pass has its fair share of AAA titles, this month’s additions are mostly indie classics, from Firewatch, and Lake to Broken Age. Paw Patrol, and Transformers: Battlegrounds - well, we guess they can’t all be winners, can they? The full list of new additions arriving today and tomorrow are as follows: Among Us (Cloud). Ben 10: Power Trip. Broken Age. Firewatch. The Gunk. Lake. Mortal Kombat 11. Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay....
The Gunk centers around two space haulers, Rani and Becks, as they land on a strange planet full of valuable resources they hope to exploit. But they also find the titular gunk choking the life out of the planet and are faced with a “moral dilemma” in the process. Also released with the first details of the game is a trailer that shows off the alien world players will be exploring....
Naughty Dog has released the latest developer diary for The Last of Us: Part 2, and in it, the team discusses the meticulous process of bringing detail to the characters and the world. Attention to detail not only applies to how the game looks, but how the story plays out. The team watched movies, read books, and listened to news stories in order to make the characters feel more authentic....
Tested by GamesRadar, The Last of Us: Part 2 on PS5 supports haptic feedback, and players will notice it significantly. According to the test, when playing the backwards compatible title, you can feel the tension in the DualSense adaptive triggers when drawing back on the bow. Shots fired can also be felt in the controller. The controller will also rumble when you start up the engine of the motorboat, you will feel it when you hit obstacles, as well as when going around corners....
The original The Last of Us was not an easy game, even on its default difficulty setting. In The Last of Us Part 2, developer Naughty Dog has taken a different approach to difficulty. For starters, the ultra-challenging Survivor difficulty will be unlocked from the start. More interestingly, however, players will be able to fine tune any difficulty they choose. Game Informer noted in a preview that you will be able to tweak things like how much damage Ellie takes, how alert enemies are, and even control the rate resources spawn in the world....
By this point you’ve parked up at the outer gate, scaled a dumpster to hop over the barrier, traipsed through the eerie woodland, and gotten to grips with the spirit world in an underground tunnel. But to get into the Niwa Resort, you need to solve one of The Medium’s first environmental puzzles in the Material World. Here’s how to get started. The Medium - How to get into Niwa Resort You approach Niwa Resort’s main hotel through the parking lot, and when you reach the front door, find it chained shut....
True Colors is a continuation of the overall thematic style of the series but breaks away from the stories of the two previous entries by featuring a new protagonist with a new supernatural power, a new mystery to solve in a new location, and an (almost) all-new cast. In True Colors, players will take on the role of Alex Chen, a young Asian-American woman who grew up in foster care....
As a bonus, the show is actually setting up shop somewhere outside of London, too. Final Symphony will be performing in Birmingham, the UK’s second city, with the concert played by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, which celebrated its 100th anniversary just a few years ago. For the uninitiated, Final Symphony takes a different approach to many video game music concerts. It’s a more traditional orchestral experience: no big screens, no light shows or fireworks displays - a more pure traditional classical music experience, but with video game music....
This new Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot video gives you an idea of how you’ll live as Goku in the game. Along with the obvious fighting, you will do so much more - like train, eat, and fish. There will be side quests and never-before-seen story moments that promise to answer questions pertaining to Dragon Ball Z lore. On your journey to save the world you will also meet up with familiar faces from the anime series....
V Rising’s map consists of five regions. Each region contains multiple strong enemies known as Blood Bosses who gain their power and strength from having been created using Dracula’s blood. As you continually try to improve your status as a vampire in Vardoran, you’ll want to defeat and dispel these bosses from the regions. Finding bosses isn’t the easiest endeavour, though. In fact, finding a lot of things in V Rising can prove to be troubling; plenty of players have needed help with trying to find the likes of iron, or the rare Unsullied Hearts....
Of course, Parasite Eve fans began to get excited that an announcement of a remake, or even some form of spin-off, was to come. For those who did get their hopes up, I can only say that my heart goes out to you, because of course, Square Enix didn’t give fans what they wanted. That said, fans will be seeing the likes of Tactics Ogre: Reborn on November 11, which is something, I guess....
