Xboxhas been having a tough time of it lately, which should be fairly evident seeing as though almost every game it’s makingis now heading over to PlayStation consoles. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Xbox will never catch up to PlayStation on the console front, so it’s been searching for out-of-the-box ways it could possibly gain an advantage. Steam integration is one such idea that has been floated around by Xbox, turning its next console into what would essentially be a pre-built PC with the reputation of a home console....

Wuchang: Fallen Feathersis a hard game. No one can deny that. However, there are levels of difficulty, and the difficulty in Wuchang is notoriously uneven. If you are hoping to one and done Wuchang’s bosses, you may find that possible during the first quarter of the game, but you’ll hit a point where that is unlikely to be possible. In fact, there are a handful of bosses that I have a very hard time believing anyone will beat on their first attempt....

Collective Shout, the anti-p*rnography pressure group behind the recent campaign against adult content in games, has responded to its critics. In a statement issued earlier today, the group denies calling on Itch todeindexallof its adult games, stating that it only targeted games with specific content. The statement also defends Collective Shout’smethod of targeting payment processors, arguing that it adopted this strategy after being ignored bySteam. This all comes as Collective Shout faces backlash throughout the gaming community, with gamerscampaigning to get the banned games back on Steam and Itch....

There’s a lot of talk about retro games being better because they don’t have the quality-of-life improvements that modern games have. Sometimes written off as hand-holding, features that make games more accessible or just more fun are expected in games today, but when they were initially conceived they were seen as revolutionary. It’s hard to imagine a video game without lots of the things listed below; they might seem humdrum by today’s standards, but make no mistake, seeing each of these in action for the first time was - quite literally - a game changer....

Wuchang: Fallen Feathersjust came out last week, but someone already unlocked the Platinum Trophy on PS5.

Five years ago, beforeBaldur’s Gate 3launched out of early access, Larian Studios publishing director Michael ‘Cromwelp’ Douse got drunk in a bar and scribbled the release date on a random bottle of whisky. It would’ve been a prized—if bizarre—leak had anyone found it. But nobody did. Roll for perception… and that’s a one. As reported byGamesRadar+, Douse mused that it’s a blessing that this drunken mistake went unnoticed, otherwise it could’ve become a bigger problem for him and the studio....

There’s no lack of clueless characters inBaldur’s Gate 3. FromWyll getting killed after his flashy introtoIsobel having no survival instinct, these characters would get nowhere without your help. However, while being bad at combat is one thing, some NPCs are so naive that they’ll even follow a creepy stranger into the sewers. You probably know who I’m talking about. At some point in the game, you’ll find yourself exploring the sewers of Baldur’s Gate, hoping to find the Stone Lord....

Some cards are good for improving consistency while others allow you to turn the tables on your opponent at a moment’s notice. While some cards are tied to specific decks or types, there are others that are less restrictive in what kind of decks they can be used in....

Gearbox has said that thehumour in Borderlands 4 will be a bit more refinedthan that of its past few entries. By that, we assumed that the writing would be a bit better and jokes would have some thought put into them. However, it seems the devs meant dialing the toilet humour inBorderlands 4down literally, as the series' most annoying character has his own volume slider in the options menu. Claptrap, otherwise known as the annoying trash can of the Borderlands series, has a separate volume slider, as revealed by a Twitch partner’s tweet....

Whileit’s already been confirmedthatBorderlands 4won’t cost $80, and will instead stick to the traditional $69.99 pricepoint, Gearbox Software CEO still can’t help himself from discussing the game’s price. This time,instead of talking about real fans and finding a way to make it happen, Pitchford has instead opted to discuss how quickly Borderlands 4 will go on sale or end up on a subscription service likeGame Pass.

Can your PC runCrysis? Not anymore. Crytek has delisted the original 2007 version of the game without warning, removing the once-notorious PC benchmark from Steam. The only way to play it now, unless you already own the original, is through the remaster. Crysis was first delisted in 2021 when the remaster launched, but for the last few years, it was still included in the Maximum Edition bundle, which came with the standalone expansion Warhead....

Chrono Odyssey’s first beta has now concluded after 72 hours, and it seems everyone who played the upcoming MMO has a strong opinion on it. If one were to search for “Chrono Odyssey” on YouTube, one would be met with a barrage of similar-looking thumbnails, specifically worried-looking faces with some sort of negative adjective plastered alongside these creators' haggard expressions. Overly Critical? A subsection of the budding Chrono Odyssey community takes objection to these reactions, saying one of the reasons the game has been so widely criticised is that content creators form first impressions without giving the game a proper chance....
