When you get to the second half of the game, you’ll be faced with several new challenges. One such challenge is figuring out how to get Mysterious Switches in Nier Replicant. This is essential for some quests and required for weapon upgrades in the game. And though it’s possible to kill the specific type of enemy to get the drop you want, it’s preferable to avoid such a time-consuming method. So let’s look at this today....
Nightdive Studios has confirmed that the fate of the third instalment of the eagerly-anticipated System Shock series still lies with Tencent. In an interview at Gamescom, CEO Stephen Kick confirmed that whilst his studio retains the right to remake the first - and potentially second - game from the series, rights to the third game were sold to Tencent. “When we originally acquired the rights to the franchise, we licensed the rights for the third game to Warren and Paul [Neurath] at Otherside....
Nintendo has officially dubbed October as Luigi month. Mario’s iconic little brother is on his way to Nintendo Switch at the end of the month with the release of Luigi’s Mansion 3. Although known for being in Mario’s shadow, Luigi has gained a lot of popularity and many fans actually prefer him to the red-hatted hero. Although Luigi wasn’t much besides a palette swap for Mario in the early days, that changed as the games went on....
Generally speaking, I enjoy Souls-likes. The toughest one I have played was Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I found it to be exceptionally difficult, albeit typically fair — save for the last boss battle. As a whole, I’d use “exceptionally difficult, but fair” to describe what the subgenre aims for. But Nioh 2 wants to take things to new places and throws fair out the fucking window. If I tried to write a normal review of the game, it’d be 2,500 words and I’d break down all of the gameplay mechanics and describe my feelings about all of them....
With delays coming in for highly-anticipated games like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Cyberpunk 2077, it isn’t so unrealistic to expect more delays for other games. Luckily, that does not seem to be the case with Nioh 2, the samurai-themed Dark Souls game that serves as a prequel to the original Nioh. In a statement published by 4Gamer and translated by Siliconera, Director Fumihiko Yasuda said that the development team is currently entering the final stage of Nioh 2‘s development and that the game is nearly done with production....
Microsoft has no desire to launch a new Xbox platform every few years, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has told Game Informer. Spencer says it’s “hard to tell” if console gaming consumers will need to buy refreshed hardware on a more regular basis, but says he has no “desire to every two years have a new console on the shelf; that’s not part of the console business model, and it doesn’t actually help us”....
Not Tonight, developed by Panic Barn and published by No More Robots, finally has a release date! On August 17, the world will get a post-Brexit management game that takes place in the most British place ever; outside of a pub. England has voted to leave the EU, a far-right government is in control, citizens of European heritage have been exiled, and you are just trying to live your life. Suddenly, you are given a job as a club bouncer, where you must check IDs and make sure people have tickets before entering the bar (or pub) to get utterly smashed....
If you follow TheGamer, you’ve probably noticed an up-tick in VR coverage over the last month. When it comes to VR, we weren’t exactly early adopters: as a catergory, VR has been over-promising and under-delivering for decades. Going all the way back to the Virtual Boy, we’ve been told how immersive and interactive VR will be, yet the limitations of technology have always held it back and kept VR little more than a novelty....

Not everyone is privileged enough to have a support staff of developers behind them when embarking down the path of video game development. Indie developers are usually small teams (if a team at all) who’ve dedicated their lives to their craft. Koi Unleashed is one of those projects, developed by a single-person studio and launching on Steam in April. Time to party up Wild Grip, the developer of Koi Unleashed, took to Reddit to announce Koi Unleashed and provide some backstory....
Ever since it was announced that Bandai Namco had a One Punch Man video game in development, the question on everyone’s mind was how exactly Saitama would work. After all, the whole point of One Punch Man is that Saitama is able to defeat literally everything with a single punch, which would make him quite arguably the most unbalanced fighting game character of all time. However, we now have a better idea of how Saitama will work in One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows....

The Lachmann Sub in Modern Warfare 2 - described as the MP5 by the community - is an all-time favorite SMG for many players who look for a run-and-gun play style. In Modern Warfare 2, while some matches allow long-distance combat, other modes will reward you for running around the map to find your enemies before they find you. Among the game’s arsenal, the MP5 is one of the best guns in Modern Warfare 2 to do so....
A Modern Warfare 2 promotional campaign that gives a double XP code to US players in exchange for buying Jack Link’s Pork Strips has caused a bit of a kerfuffle after purchasers realised that many have unwittingly bought packs after the codes were stolen. As spotted by PC Gamer, rather than hide the code inside the packaging, Jack Link’s Spicy Dill Pickle Pork Strips chose to add the code in a tiny little pamphlets glued onto the front....
