Players looking for Dogmeat in Fallout 4 should check the rooftops in their settlements, as it’s possible the canine companion may have spawned there. Something that veteran Fallout 4 players are probably all too familiar with is the tendency for companions, especially Dogmeat, to disappear. Trying to find these companions again is sometimes akin to trying to find a needle in a haystack, as they don’t always appear to be where they’re sent off to wait....

Fallout 76 has been poorly received by most gamers and critics. Many noted that the online multiplayer title lacked the charm of the Fallout series and had too many bugs to be enjoyable. Despite the backlash, Bethesda has continued to support the game with updates and events to keep loyal players engaged. The Fallout 76 event entitled “A Colossal Problem” has now gone live and it provides several updates. The post-apocalyptic online game has managed to please a small section of the fan base of the series, and these players will be able to enjoy a new adventure as well as several fixes....

Over the years, The Fast and The Furious films have evolved from relatively simple movies about street racing into big-budget Hollywood blockbusters with action set pieces that defy the laws of physics. However, YouTube creators Kent Yoshimura and Kevin Fairy have taken the franchise back to its more modest roots with a recreation of the original film that was produced for under $100. Produced for exactly $91.91, Yoshimura and Fairy’s version of The Fast and The Furious summarizes the events of the first film in roughly 20 minutes with both men sharing duties of portraying dozens of characters....

Fate/Grand Order players have been enjoying some relative peace since the White Day event recently concluded. But as the latest official stream just announced, a new event begins right after maintenance finishes tonight. From March 23rd to April 5th, the Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth, Ooku will be available to anyone that has completed Lostbelt 3. For some strange reason, most of the staff and servants at Chaldea have suddenly vanished. Tracking the cause of this disappearance leads to a singularity set in 17th century Japan during the Edo Period....

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many gamers were filled with anticipation for the promise of holiday extras and add-ons in certain games, seasonal discounts and the opportunity to take down “Christmas Noobs.” However, that excitement was squelched on Christmas day when hackers took down both Xbox Live and PSN. The outage left many gamers unable to play, and some unable to even set up their shiny new consoles....

Ahead of a full reveal later this week, Bungie has released a new Destiny teaser trailer for the game’s next live event, Age of Triumph. The trailer previews something called Daylight Strikes as well as the game’s Prison of Elders arena mode coming back in some capacity. Both these activities will be included in Destiny’s new “weekly rituals” as developer Bungie calls them, which are the nodes found on the bottom left of the Director....

One hallmark of games inspired by FromSoftware titles including Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls (with a remake coming to PS5) is a focus on deep lore that dedicated players can uncover but doesn’t impede the core gameplay experience. Souls-like games come in a variety of flavors, but Gunfire Games struck gold with its third-person shooter Remnant: From the Ashes, which has sold over 1.6 million copies as of July. Tomorrow, Remnant will receive its final DLC Subject 2923, which includes a new campaign to expand upon its rich lore....

Diablo 4 is in development now but has yet to officially announce a release date. Fans are also still in the dark about what all the classes available at launch will be, as currently players know only that the Druid, Sorcerer, and Barbarian will be available, meaning speculation about what the other classes will be has run rampant on message boards and the internet at large. The franchise may introduce more brand new classes to Diablo 4, but the series in general has a deep history of different character classes to choose from....

Marvel’s What If…? comic was always good for a nice, fun one-off story, but just because they were self-contained takes on alternate realities doesn’t mean they never mattered to Marvel Comics’ main continuity. An issue about the Avengers forming in the 1950s created the concept of the superhero team Agents of Atlas. Situations like the Spider-Man Clone Saga and Jane Foster as Thor first originated in that comic series. Even Skaar, Son of Hulk showed up in a What If…?...

Dr. Disrespect has apparently found some respect for Grand Theft Auto Online roleplay. The infamous Call of Duty streamer is known for his bombastic nature and his penchant for displays of machismo, but he’s also highly influential and boasts around 3.3 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Gamers who don’t watch his streams may be familiar with his Twitch ban, though it’s still a mystery as to why Dr. Disrespect was banned from the platform....

The Seekers of Truth are an organization that actually does not get any attention in Dragon Age: Origins (though they are mentioned in the Witch Hunt DLC). However, in Dragon Age II and onward in both the games and books, the Seekers have proven to be a major power in Thedas. Basically, they act as a secret police force on behalf of the Chantry’s interests. Their purpose is to protect the church from outside threats (and they do so from the shadows)....

It’s no secret that Mass Effect: Andromeda was an initial disappointment for BioWare, eventually leading many fans of Mass Effect to place their hopes in the rumor that a Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy will be announced this year. The recent disappointments of both Andromeda and Anthem also put BioWare under even more pressure to deliver on Dragon Age 4. However, there are still valuable lessons to be learned from what fans responded well to in Andromeda....

Games like Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 show just how RPGs can up the stakes in their story with things such as war, killer plot twists, and big villain reveals. However, as with Baldur’s Gate and other RPGs, worlds and realms have no shortage of ancient relics and artifacts that can spice things up for both heroes and villains of the story. Interestingly, artifacts do exist in Dungeons & Dragons and its many settings....

Massive video game publisher Electronic Arts has announced that it is expanding its policies allowing its employees to work from home as part of a response to an increasing number of cases of COVID-19, popularly called coronavirus. The announcement was released by EA at 11:29 PM UTC on March 13th, 2020, via its official website, which was linked to by its Twitter account. According to Electronic Arts, employees working in Australia, Europe, and North America, including at EA’s headquarters in Redwood Shores, are now heavily recommended to work from their homes until April 1st....

After yesterday’s “See the Future” teaser, and the Wall Street Journal’s subsequent prediction that Sony’s next home console will, in fact, launch sometime this year, gamers are understandably excited that the full bloom of the next console generation is, relatively speaking, close at hand. Nintendo, famously, took pole position in the next-gen race when it launched the Wii U late last year. Now, its just a matter of playing the waiting game to see who jumps next, Sony or Microsoft....

EE and Qualcomm are about to make surfing the internet on the go even faster regardless of how many people are also using their phone or tablet on the network around you. The company, which has already started rolling out a new improved 4G+ service in London, has demoed the next generation of 4G+, dubbed Cat 9, to Pocket-lint at Wembley Stadium. The new speed upgrade will be about three times faster than what is currently available, but it will require users to upgrade their phone to benefit....

“Hello, good hunter. I am a doll, here in this dream to look after you. Honourable hunter, pursue the echoes of blood and I will channel them into your strength. You will hunt beasts and I will be here for you, to embolden your sickly spirit.” Weird, right? Any FromSoftware fan worth their salt will know the above quote comes from Bloodborne’s Plain Doll, who allows you to channel blood echoes into skills in the Hunter’s Dream, your place of respite in the death preceding new life....

Like many great roguelikes, Enter the Gungeon is an incredibly deep and complicated game. In fact, it contains a massive list of mechanics and items that both novices and veterans will find hard to understand on their first try. It’s fun, but its complexity makes it undoubtedly difficult. This challenging shoot ‘em up requires just as much knowledge and strategy as it does skill and dexterity, so it’s important to go in with some extra knowledge....

EN World, aka Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG News, has announced it is working on an “‘advanced 5E’ backwards compatible tabletop RPG” that will be a “crunchier, more flexible version of the 5E ruleset which you know and love.” Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition is the current working title for the project, and has been scheduled for a 2021 Kickstarter campaign. EN World made the announcement for the Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E) action on Sunday, August 9 on their forums, and have since then published multiple follow up posts with a bunch of initial info....

Throughout the Pokémon games, evolution is key. The monsters can change into something else through leveling up, having an item used on them — or even trading, another key part of the games. Trading is a staple of the franchise and gone are the days when you had to be next to your friend to do it, connecting your Gameboys by a cable. Now, it can be done from a distance in many games, and some of them even have surprise trades....
