The arrival of Destiny 2 on PC will, inevitably, change the way the story of Bungie’s MMO is told. Needless to say, spoilers follow: if you haven’t completed Destiny 2’s campaign yet, go do that and come back when you have. Here’s what I wrote:”The easiest way to understand it is that the Darkness is the opposite of the Traveler. The Trials are functionally the equivalent of Destiny 1’s Trials of Osiris. Triangles, againBound up in Destiny 2’s endgame, then, is a set of tantalising implied links

Over the past several years, Japanese dev and publisher Arc System Works has increasingly brought its games to the west. It’s now opened a North American branch in order to make this process easier still. Here’s company president and CEO Minoru Kidooka:”Since its inception almost 30 years ago, Arc System Works has been at the pinnacle of 2D Fighting game development—merging traditional Japanimation-like expression and technology to bring fans around the world entertainment the likes of which the

Or at least they didn’t until now, because Rumu is just that: a point-and-click adventure game set in a smart home, with the nominal vacuum cleaner as protagonist. PC Gamer: So it’s a point-and-click adventure and you’re a vacuum cleaner. What occurs for this vacuum cleaner to go from a connected household device to a sentient being? Do you think sentient vacuum cleaners could be genuinely dangerous to people? When the home is becoming much more inter-connected, surely that vacuum cleaner could

There have been quite a lot of complaints about the load that Assassin’s Creed: Origins puts on CPUs, attributed in this Torrentfreak report to Ubisoft’s anti-piracy efforts. This is all based on the word of a cracker who claims to have obtained AC: Origin’s binary code. That’s why we are seeing 100 percent CPU usage on 4 core CPUs right now for example.” In a statement posted on Steam, however, Ubisoft declared that “the anti-tamper solutions implemented in the Windows PC version of Assassin’s

A lot of people have said to me, “This is the most relaxing space in PAX, it’s a real oasis.” Just hearing people play games like this one [Luxuria Superbia], which if you didn’t have the vagina controller it’s not immediately obvious what it is, playing together and talking about these things. It’s really interesting to me because I think sex is often talked about so biologically. KS: The dildo controllers are made by Louis Roots, this exhibition is put on in collaboration with his Bar SK. I th

They want to see goblins in the spotlight, and they intend to put them there with Goblins of Elderstone, a city builder and “goblin tribe simulator” where goblins are only as evil and stupid as you want them to be. Part 4X strategy and part building sim, Goblins of Elderstone is about characterizing and controlling your goblins. Similarly, you get to decide how your goblins interact with the other races of Elderstone, like elves and humans and orcs. Lost Goblin is a relatively new New Zealand-ba

9-11 mastermind and nominal Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in May 2011 during a raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A massive amount of intelligence was seized during the raid, including hundreds of thousands of files stored on Bin Laden’s hard drive. The archive has been conveniently divided into four categories—audio, documents, images, and video—but is nonetheless a massive thing to dig through. Not kidding: Osama Bin Laden had a big folder of classic game emulator cover

Dell just announced that Black Friday is coming early for this company this year. For the next 24 hours only, Dell is discounting a wide range of products, from Alienware gaming PCs to monitors. Check here for Dell’s full list of deals including gaming systems . The deals will be available until November 3rd and then be removed until the week of Black Friday, when they’ll either return or change. Dell is also including the same deals that it’ll be featuring on Cyber Monday for the same 24 hour p

But such is the path that YouTuber Boid Gaming has embarked upon—a path to fill his No Man’s Sky galaxy full of empty KFCs, McDonalds, and, yes, even a monolithic Pepsi can. For several months, he has been showcasing his intergalactic fast food restaurants on his YouTube channel. The No Man’s Sky Foundation update introduced base building, but the tools aren’t too complex, so putting together a rather nice looking McDonalds is a win in my books. They should be full of people, but instead, just l

If you are ready to make the jump to a 4K monitor but don’t want to a pay a premium to get there, Amazon is selling a certified refurbished Samsung 28-inch (UE510) display for $230. We don’t post refurbished deals all that often, though in this case we are making an exception because the price is low for a 28-inch 4K monitor, and it’s been refurbished by Samsung, not a third-party. “This certified refurbished product is manufacturer refurbished, shows limited or no wear, and includes all origina

There’s no gimmick here, just a spec list that puts the Razer Phone up against other flagship Androids. While Razer says the phone is designed with gamers in mind, that doesn’t necessarily mean this is a “gaming phone.” Visually, the Razer Phone should appeal to anyone who likes Razer’s existing hardware. The Razer Phone also uses the popular Nova Launcher Prime, which is known for its customizability—another thing we appreciate as PC gamers. The Razer Phone will be available on November 17 in N

Little Busters! English Edition is exactly what it sounds like: an official, expanded, English version of Little Busters! “Little Busters! With the help of the VN Translation community, as well as localization company Fruitbat Factory, VisualArts released Little Busters! English Edition was directly based on the Perfect Edition, which included the sexual content added in Little Busters!

It’s a shortcoming that the ambitious Tamriel Rebuilt mod, which we took a closer look at earlier this year, aims to overcome by recreating and adding all of that missing landmass to the game. It’s also why you probably wouldn’t be surprised to see a Patreon campaign supporting its creation. “There is currently a link going around to a Patreon page masquerading as our official account, asking for donations to keep Tamriel Rebuilt running,” a message on the official Tamriel Rebuilt website warns.

I’m bringing them up now because a song from the soundtrack of There Came an Echo recently found an unlikely new home: season two of the hit television series Stranger Things. The song in question is “Outside the Realm,” which you can hear via the video above and on the website of its composer, Jimmy “Big Giant Circles” Hinson. Big Giant Circles is actually the name of Hinson’s company. You can listen to the full album on the game’s Big Giant Circles page. Like Stranger Things, There Came an Ech

(Image: © Flickr via Mike Mozart)It is not enough that the Federal Communications Commission will in all likelihood reverse current net neutrality rules that were implemented under the previous administration. Verizon, the largest wireless carrier in the US and also a high-speed wired internet service provider (ISP), wants the FCC to take things a step further by blocking states from imposing broadband privacy protections. In response, dozens of states came up with their own privacy proposals, a

Something a little unusual about the loot boxes in Call of Duty: WWII, as reported in August by Game Informer (via Charlie Intel), is that players will be eligible to win in-game rewards simply for watching other people open them. The crate will then drop out of the sky, the top will fly off, and three cards will pop out. Other players will see the cards and what they deliver, but apparently won’t be able to swipe them. Call of Duty: WWII will be out on November 3. We’ll have a more in-depth Cal

In a rare bit of good news in the memory sector, Samsung is planning to significantly ramp up its DRAM output, which hopefully means that better pricing is on the horizon. It has not been a fun situation for anyone in need of new RAM or a memory upgrade. “Just one year ago, DRAM buyers took full advantage of the oversupply (excess capacity) portion of the cycle and negotiated the lowest price possible with the DRAM manufacturers, regardless of whether the DRAM suppliers lost money on the deal. N

One of the ways to get your hands on a Core i7-8700K processor is to buy a pre-built system, but where’s the fun in that? Or you can head to Newegg and get the Core i7-8700K bundled with a motherboard. Newegg is offering the Core i7-8700K with MSI’s Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard for $570 after a $10 mail-in-rebate. Unfortunately, Newegg isn’t selling the Core i7-8700K by itself at the moment, and compared to B&H’s pricing, the savings drops to $30. The Core i7-8700K is a 6-core/12-thread

My recent run-in with a particularly egregious orc named Mozû might have led you to believe that Shadow or War’s enemies have the upper hand. But the truth is Talion is more cruel than any of the greenskins, as evidenced by this video which seeks to answer the question: What happens if you perpetually shame an orc, rather than finishing it off? Shaming is a mechanic in Shadow of War that enables players to forcibly level down an orc. The point is so that you can eventually recruit an orc which h

The Destiny 2 Leviathan raid, “the pinnacle of the PvE end-game,” has finally gone live on the PC—and we’ve got the lowdown on how to get it done. The Leviathan raid is now available on PC. when you shoot his pimp cut out of his hand to start the final encounter. PC Gamer’s finest guardians will be attempting a run later this week. If you’d like to potentially be part of that, you’ll need to be part of the PC Gamer Club, which grants clan access on a first-come, first-served basis.
