Fallout 76 was a disaster. Not only was it plagued my multiple scandals throughout its release, but it was widely panned for its lack of any NPCs. What was originally advertised as a perk – “each of those characters is a real person” – was drastically different from anything that anyone wanted out of a Fallout game. The Wastelanders update is a massive rejuvenation of Fallout 76. Like all the updates so far to the game, its free, and it is by far the largest update yet....

Since its launch, Fallout mobile spin-off Fallout Shelter has proved to be a tremendous success. The title became the most downloaded free app in both the UK and US upon its day of release, going on to beat mobile monolith Candy Crush Saga in profits and iOS App Store ranking. The game has proved to be hugely addictive to boot, surpassing an immense total of 70 million play sessions per day....

In a statement, Johnny Depp announced he is respecting Warner Bros.’ request for him to resign from his role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts 3. Now, the studio must find a replacement for Depp and while Colin Farrell may be the clear choice for the role, the actor is reportedly unavailable due to his commitment to The Batman. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Farrell portrayed Percival Graves, the Director of Magical Security for the Magical Congress of the United States of America....

Destruction AllStars has finally arrived on Sony’s latest machine after a short delay. Once a day-one launch title for PS5, the game had to be delayed due to some internal reasons. Now, Destruction AllStars is available free to download for all PS5 owners with an active PS Plus subscription. And as with many before it, the game is all the better for launching on the service. PS Plus Is A Great Platform For Destruction AllStars To Shine Many fans believe that PS Plus provides Destruction AllStars a great platform to shine....

Hideaki Itsuno, the director of Devil May Cry 5, has admitted that he’s surprised by the warm reception the game’s new character, V, has received since its release. With the game having launched on March 5th, Capcom has experienced great satisfaction in their quest to keep fans happy; and two million copies sold in two weeks is a testament to the game’s success. Devil May Cry 5 saw the introduction of a new playable character in V, who turns out to be the human half of Vergil’s soul....

If asked to recall a villain from the Digimon Adventure series, odds are most people will cite Devimon. As the driving force behind most of the problems in the beginning of the show, Devimon is easily one of its most iconic villains. As such, it’s no surprise that the reboot is bringing the fiend back. The Digimon Adventure reboot has definitely taken some liberties with the stories and proven that it isn’t afraid to step away from its source material a bit, but for the most part the story remains the same....

Dishonored 2 on PC reportedly has major issues, with the game struggling to hit 60 frames per second at 1080p, even dipping to just 13 FPS at some points. Arkane Studios’ latest title, stealth-action sequel Dishonored 2, is one of the mostly highly anticipated games of the year. Landing a spot on Game Rant’s list of the best games at E3 2016, the title follows returning protagonist Corvo and newly playable character Emily after usurpers take the throne....

From black markets to a social media free-for-all over a cat, it’s safe to say that New Horizons brought with it a lot of unexpected drama for such a relaxing game. One unexpected topic of debate is whether or not it’s acceptable to cheat in a non-competitive game with social elements. Everyone can agree that cheating in a competitive game is wrong. And most people don’t care if someone cheats in a single-player game, because it doesn’t impact other people’s experience....

Sharknado: The Video Game is not a good game. In fact, it’s barely a game. It’s the type of experience one brings up when talking about horrible movie tie-ins or mobile titles created solely to cash in on bigger properties. But in the case of Sharknado, even the movie isn’t very good, which makes the whole idea of making a game around it all the more confusing. The game itself functions like a glitchy Temple Run knockoff, an endless runner where the player must navigate (hop, slide, or dodge) through a three-lane street lined with sharks....

An Indian news channel recently aired a special on Doki Doki Literature Club. The program delved into what the reporters called “a threat to children’s lives” and urged citizens of the country to boycott the game. While video games ruining minds is still as silly a notion as it ever was, the program leaned on a tragic incident related to the game for its claims. For the five people who don’t know, Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novel that captured the internet’s attention when it launched last year and held on tight....

The mystery about why Dr Disrespect received a Twitch ban continues on, although a new development may shed some more light on the reasoning. Just about everyone connected to the game streaming world has speculated on why Dr Disrepect was banned, when the streamer himself has said he isn’t sure of the reason. There have been a ton of theories thrown around about what could have been so egregious that it would get one of Twitch’s biggest streamers permanently booted from the service....

The backward compatibility team at Xbox is continuing to work its magic. Larry Hryb, also known as Major Nelson, has been teasing some big things for the Xbox Series X/S lately, but on his most recent podcast he highlighted some updates, celebrations, and more that have come to the Xbox. One of the things he talked about was the retroactive frame rate boosts that have been and will continue to come to Xbox games....

The dedicated and talented fans at the SaiyaSlash Team are hard at work making their dream of a Devil May Cry inspired Dragon Ball game a reality, and fans are closer to it now than ever before. Dragon Ball Demon Breaker is a new take on the iconic franchise, putting players in control of Trunks as he battles legions from the Demon Realm, and soon fans will get to try their hand at the combat system themselves....

The first episode of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s A New Power Awakens detailed the events of Dragon Ball Super’s Battle of Gods Arc. So it not only allowed players to go toe-to-toe with the God of Destruction, Beerus, but to access Goku and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan God transformation. Since the Ressurection F Arc follows Battle of the Gods, most predict that A New Power Awaken’s second episode will build itself around it....

Every fantasy adventure party needs a wizard, it’s practically an unspoken rule of RPGs. Like so many games of its kind, the Dragon Quest series has seen its fair share of magic users and it’s time, but Veronica of Dragon Quest XI is a stand-out sorceress that provides the party with a powerful punch of prestidigitation. Along with her sister, Serena, the miniature mage supplies the Luminary with a magical edge that can make or break an encounter....

The character sheet is the core of any good Dungeons and Dragons campaign. For the dungeon master, it provides essential insight into the player’s decisions and characters. For the players, creating their character is often the first time they really think about who or what they want to be for the campaign, and often begin to engage with the other players about connected backstories, potential romances, and more. Three pages of blank space, however, can be rather daunting....

Fortnite is known for its addictive gameplay, building mechanics, and ongoing support, but its skins and crossover events have become just as big as the gameplay over the past few years. One of the next big skin additions to Fortnite may be meme-related, and it could star none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. With Fortnite’s NFL skin crossover returning recently, and dozens of Marvel skins having joined the game through Season 4, there are plenty of characters Dwayne Johnson has played that could fit well into Fortnite’s universe....

Elden Ring is one of those games you can keep returning to over and over again and never get bored. Maybe you want to try a new build or pursue a different ending, but regardless of your reasons, you will still have to wade through the same enemies, for good and for bad. Every monster in Elden Ring sticks to a strategy. Their animations and patterns give players plenty of tells to help them dodge incoming attacks, and gamers can easily defeat these opponents with enough practice....

Kicking off the festivities of PAX Online, publisher Binary Haze is proud to reveal a new trailer for its debut title: Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Scheduled for a winter 2020 release on PC and consoles, this trailer gives us a quick overview of the story and a sample of its soundtrack. To say the atmosphere is haunting would be putting it lightly. In Ender Lilies, players will be tasked with exploring a supernatural world in an effort to combat a deadly curse....

Last week, we reported that Fortnite developer Epic Games was planning to sue a 14-year-old child for cheating in its newest online multiplayer title. Now the case has been concluded with the minor’s lawyer reaching a settlement with the Battle Royale game’s developer. After becoming frustrated with the thousands of cheaters who were present in Fortnite’s popular multiplayer mode, Epic Games began taking several of the cheaters to court in an effort to discourage other users....
