You have to add a lot of crafting to call a patch “the crafting update,” but Astroneer is up to that challenge. The update in question doesn’t just add a lot of new resources (but it does add those) or a bunch of new items to craft (it adds those too); it also reforms the entire crafting progression for the...
Remember how we were just checking the pulse of WildStar and got excited when we finally managed to see four other players? We knew that pulse was weak, and now we know the game hasn’t much longer to live. And since the studio is not giving a final closing date, Massively OP’s MJ is returning to Nexus for what could...
Revelation Online’s upcoming New Sulan update is bringing some big changes to the game’s dungeon system, which will have its difficulty modes streamlined. With the streamlined difficulties, players will be able to enter normal dungeons up to 20 times per week, whereas higher-difficulty dungeons will be accessible only once or twice per day, depending on the dungeon in question. All...
Neowiz is gunning for the bots in Bless Online. In fact, the studio says in its latest Steam update that it’s already cracked down on miscreants. “On August 30th, we completed a wave of removal, during which time numerous offenders were eliminated, and we don’t plan on stopping there,” the company announced. “We take these violations seriously, and will continue...
You know one of my favorite things about Firefly? The bunkrooms. Like seriously, I want a hammock and a pull out toilet/sink. That set designer deserved a medal for making a cold, dirty, clunker of a spaceship look like home. And that’s exactly the image conjured up in this week’s episode of Star Citizen’s Around the Verse; the first developer...
Most of this year’s PAX West content is finally finished, and while we’re about to give MOP reporter Larry Everett a much-needed breather, we’ve got one more thing left to do first: roll out some awards. Besides, we can use some positivity after the day our genre had yesterday, am I right? Game of the Show: Rend Rend continues to...
Rare delayed the release of its Sea of Thieves Forsaken Shores trailer yesterday in the wake of emergency maintenance and bugs, but it’s finally here now. “Fiery volcanoes, thundering earthquakes, a terrible tale and more await crews brave enough to venture to The Devil’s Roar,” Rare says, but it’s what the studio isn’t saying that has Reddit on fire. Gamers...
Friends, readers, genre fans, lend me your eyes; I come to bury WildStar, not to praise it. But just like Marc Antony, I’m going to be doing a lot of the latter even as I do the former. It was just a short time ago that I took the bait and went on a lengthy rant about the history of...
There was a time when it was rare to be able to try out an MMO without buying it, but these days the majority of the genre is free-to-play and there for you to try whenever. So games like Black Desert and The Division are outliers with a price tag preventing entry… except for this weekend. Both titles are offering...
I don’t usually report on mobile games, but I do play quite a few of them. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Mario Run, and Pokemon Go currently sit on my phone. And I enjoy them to varying degrees. Pokemon Go is my current favorite. It’s not because there is awesome gameplay or innovative mechanics, but it does give me a reason...
