Can all demos have this? So what you will about theDisgaeaseries, but the full numbered editions always come through. NIS has been plugging away at this series for 16 years now, and although a lot of people will tell you they never surpassed the 2003 original, I’ve found that every mainlineDisgaeagame offers up something new on top of a likable cast. Disgaea 4, centered around the boisterous vampire Valvatorez, is coming back…in Switch form (that joke never gets old because we’re in an all-encompassing age of re-releases and remasters/remakes)....

As the video game industry gets more popular (and more profitable) with each passing year, so do Hollywood’s insatiable hunger and shadow rapidly expand over it. It appears that every popular IP eventually gets its own film or TV adaptation, and a logical question arises as a result: Are they really necessary? Whether we like it or not, adaptations of games are on the rise Just recently, we were notified of two major adaptations of established video game IPs, to be handled by A24 and Blumhouse in the form of theElden RingandPhasmophobiafilms....

An official end of an era within another era Before we get into this seemingly arbitrary bit of news let’s go back in time a bit. The Wii U, the successor to Nintendo’s most popular home console ever — the Wii — launched in 2012. It was met with a tepid reception for myriad reasons that have been discussed many times over, and never really caught on worldwide. It ended its reign with 13....

For Honor, for keeps If you wait long enough, just show a little patience and hold out,For Honorwill be free. If that describes you, your self-control is rewarded. Ubisoft is again giving away the standard edition ofFor Honoron PC through Uplay. It’s not the most complete and current version of the game; that will cost some money. But, it’s also not the starter edition which is the most bare bonesFor Honorgets....

The current level cap forForza Motorsport 4is set at 150, and while that’s insanely high, some players are already capped out. At a Microsoft press briefing, Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt said that they designed the game so that their most dedicated, hardcore fans would would need between 9 and 12 months to reach that limit. It turns out that those people suprised Turn 10 by reaching that limit in only 4 months....

Why, ohwhy, didn’t I listen tosoul1350?* He warned me thatDestiny of the Doctorswas the worst use of a franchise in gaming history, even for a die-hardDoctor Whofan. He said the only good bits involved the full-motion video and the initial feeling of glee at walking around the TARDIS. “Ah, hell,” I thought. “How bad could itpossiblybe? I’ve played some pretty crap games in my time, and my adoration for the show should be enough to make the game at least mildly enjoyable, right?...

It also coincides with a huge update Genshin Impactis killing it financially and it looks like there are no signs of it letting up anytime soon. To that end, developer miHoYo has shared more plans for the upcoming November 11 update (1.1), as well as PS5 compatibility (with “improved graphics and faster load times”). So far, it’s all good news. Although it was a shoo-in already, miHoYo shared publicly that the game will be backward compatible on the PS5: functionality that that will be added in patch 1....

Player who? It seems Rockstar Games have caught wind of the success ofPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsand added their own take on itin the form of “Motor Wars” in the latest“Smuggler’s Run”update forGrand Theft Auto Online(which is available now). This new game mode they’ve introduced essentially mimics the mechanics of other battle royale games and will most likely continue to secureGTA V‘s weekly top 10 sales ranksacross the world for years to come....

War for Cybertronis being published by Activision, and Activision games love downloadable content. Stands to reason thatWar for Cybertronwill have DLC, right? It’s more or less inevitable, but High Moon Studios can’t confirm it. Nor will the developer deny it, either, so it’s basically a sure bet. “We are yet to reveal our DLC plan,” explains director Matt Tieger. “We’re still under wraps on that. That’s not a no, it’s just that I can’t yet talk about our DLC....

Thefirst ActinBaldur’s Gate 3has an overwhelming number of quests for players to tackle. It’s easy to start many, but some have hard-to-find objectives. One noteworthy quest like this is “Find the Missing Shipment” which starts in a cave close to a destroyed caravan (location by X: 35, Y: 600). Here’s where players come across the caravan’s survivors fending off a wave of gnolls. From here there are several ways to go about the quest....

Very few things inNBA 2K25feel as good to perform and can energize your squad more than a well-timed Alley-Oop, a play which, in most cases, can only be performed after perfectly syncing up with a teammate.

So that you may set the rhythm of any game, here’s how to perform both regular and alley-oops to self inNBA 2K25....

Lots of Sothis love Fire Emblem: Three Housesis enjoying a relatively quiet back half of 2019. Although it had a relatively explosive debut Nintendo has been taking it easy with DLC since its July release, which has mostly been low key in the form of outfits and missions. Now, for season pass owners (read: it’s $25), you can download a free outfit to celebrate the holidays: a literal “outfit of your dreams,” a little inside joke from Nintendo for those of you who playedThree Houses....
