New World Review in Progress

-
Update #1: Amazon’s New World has been out for little over half a week, but its still-overpopulated server queues have shown no sign of waning. After several days of multiple-hour-long queues, I’ve finally managed to scratch together a level 20 sword-and-shield-wielder on the Minda server – Syndicate, if you’re curious – and I’m having a pretty good time overall, despite some laggy moments here and there. In my journey from level one to level 20, I’ve already witnessed everything from a full-blown hostile takeover of my starting zone (First Light, which was apparently grabbed out of the Syndicate’s hands by the troublesome green-tinted Marauders) to the threat of an upcoming invasion by the encroaching Corrupted horde. I haven’t yet been directly participating in these large-scale battles for the fate of Aeternum, which are reserved for level 50 characters and above. Instead I’ve spent most of my time running around the map, filling my inventory with whatever isn’t nailed down, and...

Toby Fox Will Release Deltarune Chapter 3, 4, and 5 at the Same Time

-
Despite Deltarune: Chapter 2 being released by itself, series creator Toby Fox has said that his goal is to have Chapters 3, 4, and 5 arrive at the same time. Toby Fox shared the news on Deltarune.com following the release of Deltarune: Chapter 2 and said that, while he had originally planned on releasing new chapters only when all of them were finished, he realized that "it's hard both for creators and fans to go a long time without a release." However, he is now focused on completing Chapters 3, 4, and 5 and will launch the complete game (Chapters 1-5) at a currently unknown price that will be more than Undertale, which currently costs $14.99. Fox released both Deltarune Chapter 1 and 2 for free and has asked that players (who can afford it!) should buy another indie game to support smaller developers. Additionally, those who want to support Toby Fox can purchase the soundtracks to Undertale and both Deltarune chapters from Bandcamp. "Just one request - pl...

Hearthstone Gets a New Game Mode and The Old Gods Return!

-
Image
A raft of updates were announced for Hearthstone today, including a brand new mode, a brand new expansion, and a complete overhaul of the game’s progression system. Let’s go through them. Hearthstone Duels First up, the new mode is called Hearthstone Duels and it takes the build-as-you-go deckbuilding gameplay that has been so popular across many of Hearthstone’s Solo Adventures of recent years and lets you take on other players. If you’ve played Dungeon Run, Monster Hunt, Rumble Run, The Dalaran Heist or Tombs of Terror, you’d have some idea of the format, but a key difference here is that Duels is structured like Arena, so players are striving for 12 wins, while three losses ends the run. At the start of a run, players choose a hero, each of which has a bespoke hero power, and then builds their own starter deck of 15 cards to take into the run. These cards can be anything from the current legal pool for the mode, but instead of the usual limit of one copy of each legendary and two c...

Image
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light - the first Fire Emblem game from 1990 - will be released on the Nintendo Switch on December 4, 2020, and will be fully localized for the first time. This Fire Emblem game, that was released only in Japan on the Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom), told a story that featured the "heroic exploits of Prince Marth," and began a franchise that has spawned 20 games, spin-offs, and remakes, most recently with Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the Nintendo Switch. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light will be available on the Nintendo eShop for $5.99 and will only be available to purchase until the end of the franchise's 30th anniversary on March 31, 2021. Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario Bros. 35 will also only be available, at least in their current forms, until that date as well.

The Falconeer on Xbox Series X: Hands-On at 120fps

-
It’s tough for just about any game to get noticed these days, and even trickier for a one-man indie game launching on the Xbox Series X alongside 30 other choices. But maybe this will do the trick: what if I told you that, in some loose but refreshingly familiar ways, The Falconeer feels like something of a spiritual successor to the beloved original Xbox aerial combat game Crimson Skies? To be fair, you’re on a giant Warbird here, not in a plane, and you can’t dismount and wander around on land. And the setting is pirate-fantasy rather than an alternate-reality post-World War I. But both are aerial dogfighting games where you’ll need to dive, roll, and evade your targets in spectacular fashion. They also both take place out on the high seas as well, and both give me the same exhilarating feeling in combat. For whatever reason, games like this don’t come around too often, and as such The Falconeer feels fresh and new. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters=...

Bethesda Sued for $100 Million After 'Intentional Sabotage' of Rune 2 to Protect The Elder Scrolls

-
Publisher Ragnarok Game has amended a lawsuit against Human Head Studios, suing Bethesda for $100 million over its alleged part in an "intentional sabotage" of Ragnarok's Rune 2 in an attempt to protect The Elder Scrolls franchise. As reported by PC Gamer , the lawsuit was originally filed in December of 2019 and focused on Human Head Studios, the original developers of Rune 2. Ragnarok claims that the developers intentionally abandoned the game upon launch and refused to turn over the source code, so the publisher is seeking damages and restitution. The reason Bethesda Softworks and ZeniMax Media are now involved in the suit is that Human Head Studios went out of business a day after the game's launch, only to be absorbed by Bethesda and re-opened as Roundhouse Studios on the same day. You can read the amended complaint here , which notes that Ragnarok "seeks redress for fraud and the intentional sabotage of two video games, Rune II and Oblivion Song." Obli...

Smash Bros. Ultimate Patches Out Minecraft Steve's Unintentionally NSFW Victory Pose

-
Nintendo has pushed a patch to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that removes the unintentionally NSFW victory pose used by Minecraft Steve. The Mojang mascot arrived in-game on October 13, and shortly after fans made the internet aware of his provocative victory animation . If Steve triumphs over his Nintendo colleagues, he will start eating a piece of steak in the endgame screen and then hold the steak slab at waist height, creating an image rife with potential innuendo for those of us with a dirty mind. THE SMASH ULTIMATE 9.0.1 UPDATE REMOVED STEVE’S VICTORY MEAT LMFAOOO pic.twitter.com/25Fa0ds7as — YuYu (@Plun_Yu) October 22, 2020 However, Nintendo has now made it so that the steak vanishes after he eats it, removing its promiscuous potential. You can see Steve's new victory pose in the video above, uploaded by Twitter user Plun_Yu . This is one of the many tweaks introduced in the Ver. 9.0.1 update , issued on October 21. As well as getting rid of Steve's slab, the patch has f...
