Starting humbly as a hidden gem from Japan, Monster Hunter has slowly grown in popularity since its success on the 3DS and Wii U, only bolstered by the release of Monster Hunter: World, which brought a whole new crowd to what was once a niche grind-em-up boss bananza. For a lot of players, World is their first encounter with the series, while others have been around since the 3DS days with YouTube’s Game Grumps Present: Hunting Monsters, and some even longer with the archaic Playstation releases and PSP breakouts....

Virtual Reality is slowly on its way back into the mainstream, and it’s all thanks to the Oculus Rift and Sony’s Project Morpheus. Admittedly, the Oculus has been in the public eye longer than the Morpheus, but it’s hard to deny that these two products are making moves to bring VR back. And in a big way. Both pieces of hardware are still in development, but its been long enough for both that people have to start wondering when these devices will come out....

This nuclear war that lasted a grand total of two hours devastated the various nations and bathed the world in radiation and debris. While many of the details of this apocalyptic event are unknown or have been contradicted over the course of the games, there are some known facts that are unusual. In fact, there are quite a few things about the Great War that do not make a lot of sense under close examination....
For many, the announcement that Microsoft was acquiring Bethesda came as a shock, but as that faded, speculation on the sheer amount of possibilities took over.

One Fallout 4 fan creates an absolutely massive battle using the post-apocalyptic RPG’s assets to have 30,000 Automatron robots fight the Commonwealth. Modder, YouTuber, and Fallout 4 fan Cosmic Contrarian has created a bevy of battle videos for Bethesda’s open world title in the past, but his most recent work easily trumps any of the previous efforts he’s made, at least in terms of sheer size, scale, and ambition. By using materials from the game’s Automatron DLC, Cosmic Contrarian pits roughly 30,000 differently customized robots against the entirety of the human population in the Commonwealth Wasteland, and the results are nothing short of staggering....
Yesterday, the Steel Dawn updpate appeared in Fallout 76 after accidentally going live on Xbox. Rather than roll the update back, Bethesda decided to just launch the update on every platform after a brief moment of server downtime. Steel Dawn brings a big new Brotherhood of Steel questline and a new S.C.O.R.E. board, but also a very special item that was requested by a differently-abled player. Last month, Reddi Kytahll (who goes by Kelly) posted a request to Bethesda in the Fallout 76 subreddit....

There’s no fixing the first two Fantastic Beasts movies in the Harry Potter prequel franchise. They’re narratively muddled, lack inspiring central characters, have concerning things to say about the rise of fascism, and notably refuse to make Dumbledore explicitly gay. However, with the third film in the franchise looking to recast Grindelwald, and with Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen rumored to be in talks for the role, the franchise has a chance to right itself when it comes to at least that last issue....

Yesterday, we reported that Ubisoft doesn’t want to make a “political statement” with Far Cry 6, despite taking inspiration from real-world Cuban guerrilla fighters. This generated a lot of buzz online, as many wondered how it’s possible to keep a game apolitical when drawing upon real-life political events and imagery. Speaking to TheGamer narrative director Navid Khavari explained, “Our game doesn’t want to make a political statement about what’s happening in Cuba”, yet admitted the team will be very open about their political inspirations, such as interviewing actual guerrilla fighters....
