There are a lot of different systems and mechanics in Doom Eternal, like a real lot. The game has skill “trees” stacked upon each other so that every five minutes or so the Doom Slayer is unlocking something new. There are Arsenal unlocks, Mods, Mastery Skills, Praetor Suit Upgrades, and Rune Slots. The Runes are what this article will be primarily focusing on, as the combination of the three the player uses can lead to some very different playstyles....

Doom is such a retro title that those who were playing it at its inception are now adults and have taken on many more responsibilities, but for those wanting to re-experience the originals that started it all, access to the game had been locked for those without a Bethesda.net account. However, Bethesda is now fixing the issue. Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 were released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One yesterday as part of the celebrations for QuakeCon 2019....

In an interview with PC gamer, former Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect (real name Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV) addressed the mysterious final ten minutes of his last stream which some feel may be related to his recent (reportedly lifetime) ban from Twitch. “I’ve seen all the types of theories and speculations out there,” says Beahm. “It’s gut wrenching and disheartening, but, in terms of that particular piece, I could speak directly to, like, that was just… I was in a moment where I was just sort of taking in what’s going on in the world, you know?...

In the spirit of Halloween, Dr Disrespect announced his fourth-annual costume contest. Throughout the month of October, fans dressed up in their best Dr Disrespect outfits and submitted pictures or videos on social media using the hashtag “Doctober.” Every Dr Disrespect costume featured his signature mustache, glasses, and mullet wig, but one little fan’s Call of Duty: Warzone clip led to reactions from viewers and Dr Disrespect himself. During a Twitch stream, Dr Disrespect reacted to many of the Halloween contest submissions, but when he watched a video featuring a pint-sized child’s take on Doc, the streamer could not help but cheer along....

This DuckTales article contains spoilers for season 3 episode 12. While watching DuckTales I sometimes think about what writing the show is like. While I know there’s considerable time spent on writing the complex characters, their arcs, the world, and just making a great story? I have no doubt there’s also got to be at least an hour long discussion every week of “okay but what deep cut Disney reference can we do in this episode?...

Funcom is hard at work on its open-world multiplayer Dune game, the return of a brand that’s played an important role in gaming history. But while Funcom was excited to reveal Dune’s existence in February, apparently the game is much further out than initially expected. Funcom’s recent financial report made clear that Dune won’t be released for several more years. While Funcom didn’t have any specific details to share about Dune, it did characterize what fans might expect in an exciting way....

Electronic Arts has rebranded loot boxes as “surprise mechanics” according to testimony provided by the company’s VP of legal and government. Kerry Hopkins spoke in front of the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee today as the political body asked a panel of video game industry members questions regarding the design and ethics behind loot boxes. Hopkins, asked if loot boxes were an “ethical feature” of EA’s games, responded first that the company does not call them loot boxes and instead refers to them as “surprise mechanics....

http://youtu.be/Tguv1pBbb_s As promised by NetherRealm and series co-creator Ed Boon earlier this week, more roster confirmations continue to hit the web as we come closer to the April release date of Mortal Kombat X. After teasing new intel on Twitter, the team confirmed Reptile and his acid attacks would be back for the next installment in the iconic hardcore fighting franchise and just a few days later, another fan favorite veteran fighter is brawling his way through an announcement video…...

With its divisive reception among critics and even diehard fans, tongues are definitely wagging over Marvel Studios’ 26th theatrical release, Eternals. But despite low marks across the board from review aggregates and audience polls, the film is still doing (barely) adequate business by Marvel standards. Indeed, Disney now estimates Chloé Zhao’s unique entry in the franchise grossed $71 million over the weekend—the lowest debut for a Marvel movie since Ant-Man earned $57....

Before Apex Legends was even a glimmer of a star in the sky, EA started the whole universe with the Titanfall series. The criminally underrated Titanfall 2 has been making a bit of a comeback lately since finally coming to Steam in June of 2020. Players have been revisiting the wall-running smoothness and nigh-perfection of the game in droves, and people don’t even seem to be mad about needing Origin to play through!...

Overwatch 2 may be lacking a release date, but everything shown on the game thus far has been promising. From hundreds of hero missions for PvE fans to enjoy to interesting character reworks for multiplayer fans, the game seems primed to meet expectations whenever it finally releases. While improvements to sound design and new looks for the game’s heroes also help to make the sequel exciting, one of the most appealing features about the follow-up is its fresh lineup of maps....

With thoughts of Dragon Age 4 lingering in the back of BioWare fans’ minds, many are returning to, or joining, Dragon Age Keep to update their playthroughs and character choices. Dragon Age Keep is a website that connects to a gamer’s EA account in order to sync the choices they made in every Dragon Age installment. It was born when Dragon Age: Inquisition came out since the previous two games had been on the same console, and the data could just sync to Dragon Age 2 by reading the files for Dragon Age: Origins....

As eSports teams prepare for their next seasons, news on whether players will stay or move on is coming. In the League of Legends competitive scene, one of the first major announcements came from Evil Geniuses. A recent tweet announced that the esports organization was releasing Brandini from its roster. After joining Evil Geniuses in January, LoL top-laner Brandon “Brandini” Chen helped his team win second place in the championship finals this past April....

From inspiring DJ Three-Dog to the stern Colonel Autumn, to even our own enigmatic father, the Lone Wanderer’s quest is far from lonely. Among the countless people players can meet, there are those who can accompany us on our journey. Companions offer plays company on their journey, often with their own quirks.

When Bethesda began to tease an upcoming game set in its popular post-apocalyptic RPG universe, fan theories ran wild, with everything from a Fallout 3 Remaster and Fallout Battle Royale to Fallout 5, and Fallout: New Vegas 2 being described as contenders. While some of these were a bit of fun, a remaster of the third entry in the series was a highly-desired title, so some may have been a bit let down when Fallout 76 was announced....

While gamescom 2017 has been host to several substantial reveals – Final Fantasy 15’s director teasing a Nintendo Switch version is an exciting prospect for many, for example – Bethesda has decided to share some rather sizable details for some of its games just ahead of its own annual summit known as QuakeCon. As it so happens, the publisher and developer has decided to reveal the release dates for its three forthcoming virtual reality titles Fallout 4 VR, DOOM VFR, and Skyrim VR....

Fan art allows fans to express their fandom-related desires if they don’t exist elsewhere. It also assists us in imagining which actors would be suited for specific roles. This recent creation targets Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier, and what he would look like as Captain America. The passing of the iconic shield is imminent since the conclusive events of Avengers: Endgame. Disney Plus’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is well under way, and it is expected that Cap’s shield will be wielded by Falcon’s Sam Wilson by the end....
