If you’re already playing, you’ve undoubtedly formed your own opinions, and according to a news post on the Steam forums, Developer Warhorse Studios is listening to them. “We have heard you all and lockpicking is something that we will be working on to make it better,” the post reads. In addition, the developer is considering a ‘save on quit’ feature. But if you just happen to want to quit the game and none of those options are immediately available, you’ll lose progress. A save on quit feature

Following three and a bit years of Early Access development, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues will launch in full next month. After promising a sprawling fantasy RPG that closely reflected the Ultima series, the Richard Garriott-led Portalarium successfully crowdfunded its debut venture to the tune of £1.9 million in April, 2013—accruing almost double its original ask. A year and a half later, Shroud of the Avatar entered Steam’s pre-release initiative, and has since introduced a wide rang

With nine tournaments scheduled to run over Saturday and Sunday, seven contest winners will receive a Moto G5 Plus handset. One of Motorola’s best-selling phones, the G5 Plus comes with a fingerprint sensor, internal storage with microSD support, Google Assistant, fast charging, and GSM and CDMA compatibility. Two end-of-day champions also stand to win a premium Moto X4 handse

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, as Henry of nowhere in particular, I teamed up with some local lads to throw poo at a man’s house. This is one of Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s most charming qualities. Henry is a peasant in 1403, which means he can’t read, can’t fight very well, and no-one has ever taught him how to swim. Kingdom Come: Deliverance takes a hands-off approach to all this. For more on Kingdom Come: Deliverance check out our review and beginner’s tips.

Once you have a full squad the combat system oh-so-slowly reveals itself, and the fun can truly begin. However, in the long term, Final Fantasy XII isn’t a game about micromanaging individual party actions. Final Fantasy XII’s greatest problem is that it takes so long to get good. XII sits in an awkward place in the Final Fantasy canon, sandwiched between the FFXI MMO game and the restrictive rebound of Final Fantasy XIII. If you like theorycrafting, clever levelling systems and lavish worlds, t

The enduring success of The Witcher 3 against last year’s highest-selling games, however, suggests players remain invested in solo adventures. In November, CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński proposed its long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077 will include online elements to ensure its long-term success. For us, they’re small pieces of content which should be available for free (and that was the case with TW3). Iwiński emphasises the need for transparency from developers, and that information about their game

Roses are red, violets are blue, impulse grenades are of that rarity too. By way of its latest update v2.5.0, Fortnite Battle Royale and its Save the World counterpart belatedly celebrate Valentine’s with new impulse grenades and Lunar New Year-themed shrines, weapons and characters. Exclusive to Battle Royale, impulse grenades let you quite literally send your foes flying head over heels.

Everyone thought, “Oh, everyone’s playing PUBG so we’re not going to get any players.” Now that people are playing your game, what have they done that’s surprised you? When you see two teams going off against each other they play it like we designed it, which is really cool because you don’t think that’s going to happen. Yeah, I think if you look at Coastal, you quoted that one, that was us probably being a bit sick of gray. I’ve got hundreds of hours on Battalion so for us it wasn’t like, “The

Stardew Valley update 1.3 is the big one, ie, the one that will introduce (official) multiplayer functionality. And according to creator ‘ConcernedApe’ the functionality has been completed, thanks to the work of Chucklefish’s Tom Coxon, who has “done all the network coding to turn Stardew Valley into a multiplayer game.” Once we’ve received the translated text and integrated it back into the game, we’ll begin a serious QA phase involving thorough testing of all new features in both multiplayer a

The Sea of Thieves closed beta left a lot of players hankering for more open world pirate adventures, so it will come as good news that the beta is making a return this weekend in the form of a server “scale test.” If you were part of the closed beta, the announcement post reads, you’ll be able to participate. So, that’s good news for those who want a bit more of the pirate life before launch. Keep in mind, though, that this scale test may not be smooth sailing. Issues may include sessions getti

Capcom unveiled the Devil May Cry HD Collection in December 2017, bringing an updated collection of DMC 1, 2, and 3 (but not 4 or the DmC reboot) to PC in March. Twitch Prime members will have the opportunity to grab the original DMC sooner than that, however, and more importantly, for free.

Fatshark announced today that Warhammer: Vermintide 2, the game about turning bipedal rats and other associated vermin into a fine paste with an array of dark fantasy implements and abilities, will be out on March 8. “Being passionate fans of the Warhammer IP, we’ve always wanted to create a Warhammer sequel that both stayed true to the beautifully dark atmosphere of the world but also brought new ideas and experiences for players,” Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund said. “It’s been years of work but

Where The Water Tastes Like Wine is a mouthful of a title. Here’s publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment’s comments on the launch date announcement trailer:”Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a wistfully imaginative game about traveling the land, sharing stories and surviving manifest destiny. Wander through a century of American folklore and history, encountering an eclectic cast of characters and exploring their deeply personal tales along the way. Luke saw a bit of Where The Water Tastes Like

“While there is robust debate over whether loot boxes should be considered gambling, the fact that they are both expensive habits and use similar psychological principles suggest loot boxes should be treated with extra scrutiny. At minimum, the rating system should denote when loot boxes are utilized in physical copies of electronic games.” “And depending on how the ESRB responds to my inquiry, would the FTC be willing to look at loot boxes as an issue independently?” We talked about that in gre

Between prohibition, women’s suffrage, the dawn of the automobile, and the rise of jazz, America’s Roaring ’20s were a time of great change. They were also a time of great prejudice. Adventure game Pendula Swing taps into this tumultuous environment and reframes it using fantasy races like goblins, elves, orcs, dwarves, and humans. “The goal of Pendula Swing is to raise awareness on how prejudice and racism affects the everyday lives of people in the physical world, by using fantasy stereotypes,

Rocket League’s Tournaments mode, which will allow players to create and join bracketed, single elimination tournaments, will be available next week for a brief beta test. Starting on Wednesday, February 21 at 10 am PST, players can opt in to the Tournaments beta branch on Steam and test it out until Friday, February 23 at 5 pm PST. After the start time, you can join by right clicking Rocket League in your Steam library, hitting ‘Properties,’ navigating to the ‘Betas’ tab, and selecting the ‘Tou

In a developer update today, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan detailed some hero balance changes coming to the Overwatch PTR soon. “Lowering her alternate fire ammo cost allows her to more safely use it without costing her the ability to freeze enemies.” The ammo recovery rate of those bullets has also been increased, from .8 seconds to .65 seconds per bullet. In addition, Kaplan discussed some of the iterations that the Overwatch team has been trying with Hanzo, but that weren’t quite hittin

There are some good deals over at Dell as part of its Presidents Day sale that is still going on. If you’re not into the Aurora’s styling, however, Dell’s Inspiron gaming desktop is also on sale, with a GeForce GTX 1060 configuration available for less than a grand. That gets you a burly Core i7-8700 six-core Coffee Lake processor paired with 16GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card (3GB model). However, it bumps the graphics card up to the 6GB version of the GeForce GTX 1060. You can al
