Fu Hu Hu We recently heard that the first chapter ofDeltarune,the follow-up to Toby Fox’ much-loved RPGUndertale,would be arriving on Nintendo Switch later this month. It’s since been announced,via Twitter, that PS4 players will also be able to dive into its weird world on the same day. Deltarunefirst appeared as a strange and spooky viral game, that appeared on a mysterious websiteone October morning. After playing through the trippy adventure, fans soon came to realise that it was essentially the first chapter of a pseudo-sequel of sorts toUndertale, a retro-styled RPG that tugged heartstrings back in 2015....
RIP a fun silly online mode Devil’s Thirdmay have had microtransactions crammed into its online mode that could have turned people off of it entirely, but it was damn fun for what it was. “Was” being the operative word here, because it’s D-E-D dead now. We knew that the servers would be going offline at some point this year, but now, several dedicated users have discovered that they’re now dead. I went on myself to try to play one last game and found the same “new battles cannot be launched” message....

If you’ve never been to an anime convention, you may have missed things like massive dealer rooms (import games!) and partially nude costume play (once I saw a female Pikachu cosplayer that wore only black bloomers, a yellow halter top, a painted face, and a cardboard pikachu tail – I’m still looking for her). These massive events really have some relevance to the gaming world as they’re considered more of an otaku gathering than just an anime one....
When I heard that Epic had an idea for a “big change” toGears of War 2‘s multiplayer, I was hoping for confirmation that it would be worth me putting the disc in again. After the “update” toGears 2, I’ve been barely able to play multiplayer thanks to awful matchmaking and the trolls that exploit it. Still, Epic’s non-fix idea is stillsomewhat dramatic, if only on a cosmetic level. The suggested alteration revolves around showing your trueskill rank....

Taking a Colt to the cult You can have a dog inFar Cry 5. His name is boomer and he looks to be some kind of cattle dog. What a good, white-nationalist-cult-killing boy! Far Cry 5‘s Dan Hay also got a big round of applause for saying “fucking.” That’s kind of appropriate because, for a game with a serious setting — a “fanatical doomsday cult cut off from the rest of the world” — it’s at its core aFar Crygame in the style of3,4,and their spinoffs....
