Diablo 4's 1.1.1 patch revises controversial nerfs to the Sorcerer and Barbarian classes
The patch drops on August 8th. Meanwhile, changes to theBarbarianlook to add late-game excitement and speed up combat flow in the early game. Both classes also enjoy plenty of stat boosts on various abilities. Thatll hopefully cut down on the games grind. Or some of it, maybe. Another nice incoming change affects ourtrusty steeds, though. A small but appreciated change.
Final Fantasy creator's dioramic RPG Fantasian could be headed to PC soon
The game has been locked on subscription service Apple Arcade since 2021, but that might change soon. Fantasians escape from Apple Arcade lockdown wouldnt be unprecedented either. And Im crossing all fingers and toes that Fantasian makes the same jump. I also enjoyed Fantasians combat from the little I played of it. PC folks havent been able to play any Mistwalker games yet, but hopefully Fantasian changes that.
Get Logitech's classic 720p webcam for $13
Not high-res, but it’ll do the job.
Alien's iconic Xenomorph is stalking into Dead By Daylight
Heres a brief teaser. Skewering folks with its tail? Dishing out minor tummy aches? I hope its freaky mouth inside its actual mouth is used somehow, too. Was there ever a practical explanation for what a secondary, smaller chomper was useful for? So Im interested in seeing how theupcoming film adaptationapproaches the transition.
AMD's 7900X3D processor has dropped to $439 at Ebay in the US
An incredible price for a CPU that debuted at $599. I feel a little bad for the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D. You even get a free copy ofStarfieldin the bargain. In short then, do consider the 7900X3D - especially at this reduced price.
Baldur's Gate 3's narrator posts hilarious outtakes that tease just how thirsty the game might be
That could be the tagline for the entire game: frantic bi energy. The above linked outtake andtwo otherscome courtesy of actor Amelia Tyler. Although I do hope we can actually seduce a door in-game… for comedic purposes, promise. Some of these scenarios sound downright whacky, appropriately so for such a faithful Dungeons & Dragons romp. Well get to see all the freakiness in Baldurs Gate 3 when the game leaves early access onSteamandGOGtomorrow....
Escort lost souls when folkloric roguelike An Ankou enters early access on August 17th
Once you die, your Ankou is just replaced with another recently deceased normal person. Feeding demons boiling soup sounds like fun. Im hoping An Ankou can carry forward the teams great storytelling in a different structure. An Ankou launches into early access on August 17th onSteamfor $5/5. Theres also a free demo available to try out now.
Half-Life 2's Zombie Chopper achievement elevates Ravenholm to a true horror masterpiece
This headcrab and zombie-infested cess pit is an absolute horror show right from the off. She decided to have a go at that old Zombie Chopper achievement for no good reason whatsoever. And what followed was even more horrifying than Ravenholm had any right to be. At first, you’ve got saw blades up the wazoo. And inevitably, that moment of pure devastation did indeed come during my first visit to Ravenholm....
Baldur's Gate 3's "hidden" mind flayer skill tree sounds equally cool and gross
Tough decision, I think. In a newSteam blog, Larian explain how these decisions will work in-game. Embracing the illithid powers unlocks a hidden skill tree used to enhance your command over your newfound illithid capabilities. Maybe not a character build for squeamish folks, then. The team warns that things can also get a bit more… complicated. But we wont spoil it. Well find out what those complications are when Baldurs Gate 3 leaves early access on August 3rd onSteamandGOG....
Death Stranding is leaving Game Pass, while A Short Hike and Limbo join
It mixes fun platforming with chill exploration and its just a delightful time. We also named it one of the tenbest open world gameson PC. Run-n-gunner Broforce is getting itsfinal update called Foreveron the same day it joins the service. Broforce Forever adds new playable bros and extra levels to the chaotic action movie love letter. Finally, Airborne Kingdom is the lush management game where you build a city among clouds....
Delete your Baldur's Gate 3 early access saves and uninstall the game, say Larian
“Also, remove any mods and ensure they do not automatically re-download.” Well have a full guide for launch tomorrow." This is the first time, I think, that they’ve suggested manually binning your old saves. Larian moved forward Baldur’s Gate 3’s release date to August 3rdso as to avoid Starfield. Former contributor Emily Gera also works on it.
Dishonored 2's ingenious A Crack In The Slab mission shows Arkane at their best
No doubt Arkane has changed sinceDishonored, what with studio heads leaving and theMicrosoft acquisition. People come and go as time marches on, it’s just the way of things. And I acknowledge the stories that emerged in Bloomberg’sinvestigationaboutRedfall’s development. I just find it a bit irksome whenever anyone says, “Well, what did you expect? Not to mention, a complete disregard for the talented people in those studios who work really damn hard....
