But there are some other advantages to the portability of a highly capable laptop that might not jump out at you. A great gaming laptop is like a larger Switch with access to the insanely deep and varied library of PC games. So where do you start when you’re in the market for a shiny new gaming laptop? If you’re going to be working extensively on your laptop as well as gaming, you’ll need a competent CPU to handle the load. It can be customized to suit a variety of needs and budgets, and it’s on

No Man’s Sky really turned things around with its massive Next update, which completely overhauled its universe into something that more closely resembles the lofty goals of the original open-galaxy vision. The huge content drop also brought back swathes of lapsed players eager to check out the multiplayer or reworked systems – and now there’s even more reason to return with the advent of weekly events. This week’s inaugural assignment is a request from Specialist Polo, which will go out to all

You might think you’ve beaten Far Cry 5 , but like a horror movie murderer it’s just come back stronger and tougher. With its Title Update 10 the game just got a New Game+ mode and an Infamous difficulty setting. The New Game+ mode lets you keep all your character progression and replay the campaign. Infamous difficulty packs exactly what you’d expect: enemies with more health, who can inflict more damage and who react much faster when they spot you. But, if you manage to complete a New Game + r

GTA 5 is notorious for skipping out on sales or going for a meager discount at best, but this new deal from Walmart is one of the best we’ve ever seen on Rockstar’s open-world opus. The U.S. retailer is currently offering new copies of GTA 5 for both PS4 and Xbox One for just $16.99, a discount of $12 from its standard price of $29.99. Don’t forget that you’re really getting two games in one a copy of GTA 5: the single-player mode featuring assassinations and acid trips, and the stupefyingly hug

One of the few perks of an apocalyptic wasteland is not having to make small talk with anyone – so the news that Fallout 76 would mean bumping into other real-life people set my anxiety glands pumping. Luckily, Bethesda’s Pete Hines is here to explain that Fallout 76 will cater to those looking for a more single-player experience. I’m in this world where I’m just trying to survive, and I feel like I’m alone. I feel like I’m playing Fallout by myself.” “If you just try and take any game concept a

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a video game. But thanks to developer Rockstar’s freshly-announced “Red Dead Redemption 2 Outlaw Essentials Collection,” it is also a collection of words you will find *ahem* branded onto a USB charger shaped like a stick of dynamite, a candle, a domino set, and so, so many more things. There are a whopping 30 pieces of merch in the Outlaw Essentials Collection, some more kitschy than others. Here’s Rockstar’s description: “Blow open your nostrils with this blood orange,

In November of 2015, an Ark: Survival Evolved player by the name of Braum stole a pair of fertiliser bags from a tribe he didn’t belong to. After spending several years in Early Access, Ark: Survival Evolved released in 2017 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. One player, Frost, describes how he got unwillingly caught up in the Great War after tragedy struck his peaceful tribe of nautical hunter-gatherers. If Ark’s Great War is known for one thing above all else, it’s the Siege of Ragnarok 25 . Find out

Battlefield 5 is getting a delay, but at least it isn’t a terribly long one. Developer DICE announced on the game’s official website that it has pushed back the planned full release of the game to November 20, from its original positioning at October 19. What’s one more month when it’s already been 73 years since the war ended, right? “You’ve also spurred us to make some meaningful improvements to the core gameplay experience, including adjusting the gameplay tempo, improving soldier visibility

While the possibility of A Quiet Place sequel seemed less and less likely to happen the further we got away from the movie, we have a real, bonafide, A Quiet Place 2 release date to talk about. Spoilers for A Quiet Place follow…According to The Wrap, A Quiet Place sequel has been locked in by Paramount for a 2020 release date. Hilariously, it shared a release date with a new live-action Scooby Doo. Deaf character Regan would be a fascinating focal point for any A Quiet Place sequel to cling on t

These questions constantly come up in Firewall Zero Hour, a PlayStation VR -exclusive FPS that’s out now on PS4. Firewall is a rarity in the budding VR genre: a high-quality multiplayer shooter, which focuses on asymmetrical 4v4 matchups between Attacking and Defending mercenaries. And after fighting as a soldier of fortune in a handful of rounds, Firewall Zero Hour feels like a solid crack at bringing the slower-paced structure of the stellar Rainbow Six Siege into VR. Whether or not you’ve pla

I hope you’re ready to hear people quoting the Star Wars prequels ad nauseum, because Star Wars Battlefront 2 is about to get an influx of Clone Wars content, starting in October with General Grievous. DICE’s roadmap for the remaining months of 2018 is packed with Clone Wars heroes, villains, and locales. As temperatures cool and we move into winter, Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker, and a brand-new mode will also become available. Star Wars Battlefront 2’s launch… well, it could’ve gone better.

A Kotaku report, citing more than two dozen former and current employees, painted a picture of open hostility toward women and sexual misconduct. While some current Riot employees tweeted that they did not themselves experience such hostility in their work, they stressed that it was important to believe those who did. I’m proud of the steps I’ve seen Riot take, but we’ve all got a long way to go. There are apologies directed toward prospective Riot employees too, as well as League of Legends pla

After months of the internet demanding Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay footage, CD Projekt Red just… streamed it out . CD Projekt Red hasn’t laid out how exactly Cyberpunk 2077’s humanity system will work, but in the tabletop RPGs it’s based on, getting too modded out is a very bad idea. CD Projekt Red eventually tamed it across a series of patches into the functional-and-only-slightly clunky version that’s playable today, and it looks like CD Projekt Red has kept those efforts in mind from the start wi

From loot caves to bosses that can be tricked into falling to their deaths, Destiny players always find the most clever workarounds to Bungie’s designs. As of this writing the Flashpoint giving out Forsaken gear is on Mars, handed out by Ana Bray. But judging by this Reddit thread , plenty of players are getting to taste Forsaken fruit. When it comes to armor, the drops seem to be of the “Scatterhorn” theme, ie. Scatterhorn Robe, Scatterhorn Wraps, Scatterhorn Stride, etc.

That means they’ll be producing product for you to sell at a profit while you’re making money elsewhere. You’ll be better off, from a purely money making perspective, not investing in these businesses and instead focusing on what has already been mentioned. Ultimately, enjoying the game should be a priority and if making money starts feeling like more of a job then maybe it’s not worth the effort. GTA Online Reddit Mega Guide – A great resource for those who want to make the absolute most out of

It’s strange to think of a battle royale title nowadays that doesn’t pit you into an ever-shrinking arena with 99 other players. Rather than simply following the 100 player/storm mould, Techland is doing its own thing when it comes to battle royale – and its actually calling it a Brutal Royale instead. But it’s the action that happens before the chopper comes that’s where the magic of Dying Light: Bad Blood lies. It’s the tactics that are involved – or potential tactics anyway – that make Dying

Yesterday, Bungie rolled out a huge, 35GB patch for Destiny 2, introducing core restructures to the game in preparation for the launch of its Forsaken expansion next week. Yes, everyone’s favourite hunter is no longer in Destiny 2’s main social space, leaving his usual nesting spot without so much as a cursory goodbye hug. For those angry at Bungie for ripping Cayde-6 away from them too soon, the studio did contextualise his excursion by posting two new documents to Destiny 2’s online lore hub.
