You seem Gladiolus to see me WhenFinal Fantasy XVdirector Hajime Tabata revealed that there will be some form ofmod supporton PC, he mentioned that they want to do so “with as few limitations from our side as possible.” Translation: they won’t stop you from making or installing nude or sex mods. When asked about such mods byPCGamesN, he told them “Obviously there’s some worry about ‘we’ve made this great world and people might try to stuff all kind of strange things into it and mess it up,’ when we were getting together for discussion, all the people together in the project were airing out their worries, [nude mods] were something most people were really worried about....

Providing you’ve got another computer in the house After a lengthy beta period, Steam’s In-Home Streaming is now available for all users of Valve’s digital platform. In case you’ve not being paying attention, the home streaming program allows you to stream a game from your desktop to another home computer that’s presumably hooked up to your TV, allowing you to play your games whilst parking your butt on the couch....

I mean, if it’s free and all… I wasn’t sure theMercedes-Benz DLCforMario Kart 8would release outside of Japan, but it will. Nintendo announced this morning that the GLA-Class Kart will also be out this summer in North America and Europe. It was more the live-action commercial that I found to be unsettling, not so much the DLC itself — though it does clearly look out of place in-game. Weird. Reminds me of the time Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach were inNBA Street V3....

TitledMayhem Brawler II: Best of Both Worlds, the new scrapper was premiered in the pages of brand new beat-’em-up magazineBrawler’s Alley. According to project lead Serkan Ozay,Mayhem Brawler IIwill retain the frenzied beat-’em-up action of the original 2021 release, but will utilize a fully revamped combo system, as well as a roguelike approach to enemy placement and stage design....

Found in Hearthstone Just like the ability to change your PSN name, we’ve been waiting for an “appear offline” function for a long while for Blizzard’s various online games. Say what you will about the feature and how it’s “not needed,” but as a former hardcoreWoWraider I would have loved to be able to jump into a quick session for fun without getting a million messages — a sentiment that can apply to just about any game where you have a large amount of acquaintances and friends in various circles....

Permission to come aboard skipper Warframedropped its Empyrean update, first for PC during The Game Awards and then a week later for PS4 and Xbox One. Like many of my experiences with newWarframecontent, it is buggy as hell, but it hit the promised December 2019 release in time as a sort of Christmas gift for Tenno players. While it could’ve released in the new year after some more time in the oven, the railjack experience right now is a fun, hot mess....

It’s a known fact that the most annoying enemies in videogames are the flying kind. They are the worst. When you are about to jump over a bottomless pit, they are always there to hit you right in the face. When you are equipped with a sword, they always manage to swarm you and hover just out of reach. Seriously,they are the worst. But which flying enemies are the most annoying of all time?...

One of the more notable visual aspects of Obsidian’s new gameAvowedis its lush landscapes. Much of the Living Lands is replete with forested regions, plant life, and that fungal growth that totally doesn’t remind me ofThe last of Us(spoiler: it totally does). And it’s this aesthetic that we’re definitely getting with this custom Xbox Series X that takes its look directly fromAvowed. In a recent post on X, Marketing Lead for Xbox, Bailey Kosdal, has showcased a pretty spectacular design of the console, which was put together by artist and designer Vadu Amka (seriously, check out some of theirother projects)....

Get the most out of the PC version Electronic Arts has passed along a list of console commands forCrysis 3toGame Front, which is a sentence I didn’t think I’d be able to write today. My first thought was that these would mostly pertain to graphical options — the kind that wouldn’t be as useful to the average player and their moderately-capable PC — but there are some pleasant surprises in here....

My fist your face, that’s for sure!! I’m in love with theYakuzaseries; I don’t think that can be stated enough. If you’d like to know one of the reasons why, just watch the new trailer forYakuza 0. Along with being awesome, the trailer showcases the different fighting styles that main characters Kiryu Kazuma and Majima Goro have at their disposal. Oddly enough, not many of the series’ signature “heat” actions are shown off....

Send this to the ’90s with Mario’s time machine As numb as I’ve become to the status quo of the video game console landscape, some once-heretical sights still shove me back into the heatedconsole warsof the 1990s. We’ve had plenty of time to let the idea of an official Sega Genesis controller for Nintendo Switch simmer, but it’s not until this exact moment — after seeing the back of the gamepad via a photo fromSEGAbits— that the gravity of this situation has fully sunk in....

Whether you’ve read my Weekly Kusoge columnhere on Destructoid, heard the word thrownaround in anime, or simply came across it in gaming discourse, you might be wondering what kusoge is. If you’ve only read it, you might not even know how it’s pronounced. It is, after all, a bit of a weird one. Kusoge is a word of Japanese origin, but technically, it’s a portmanteau of a native Japanese word and an English loanword....
