Quick Links InStarfield, you never know when you’re about to stumble upon a new quest. The galaxy is filled with people you’re able to chat with - sometimes, they’ll just tell you a bit about their lives, adding more to the game world and making it feel livelier. Other times, though, you’ll get some tasks to carry out in exchange for a nice reward.

There is, quite frankly, too muchDungeons & Dragonsstuff. There are several full scale official adventures that take most parties over a year to work through, about as many anthologies of one-shot adventures offering lots of little one-off sessions too, and more releasing every few months. Then, you know, only about a thousand unofficial versions of the same thing floating around the internet. All that, and like many other DMs, I write my own adventures, and am currently playing through one, with a second almost fully written, and ideas brewing for a third after that....

Alan Wake 2is right up my alley, except for the fact that it’s a survival horror game. I know, I know, that’s the whole point, but as I’ve writtensomanytimes, despite my adoration for the genre, horror games scare the shit out of me. I am so interested in its literary themes, its beautiful cinematography, and its somewhat abstracted gameplay, but actually playing it leaves my nerves frayed and my hands shaking....

I spent plenty of time in theBaldur’s Gate 3character creator, but I’ll be the first to admit I spent much longercreating the perfect looking characterand coming up with her convoluted backstory in my head than thinking about the rules she’d use or the class she’d come to inhabit. I knew I didn’t want a Rogue because I’m playing a swashbuckler in my current D&D campaign. I didn’t want a Bard because they’re boring, and I was veering away from magic on my first playthrough because I didn’t want to overcomplicate things....

It’s strange to think we’ve passed the ten-year milestone ofFinal Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn. That makes me feel old, but also, it makes me feel proud to have been part of the community for such a long time. FF14 has surged in growth and popularity in the past decade, an impressive feat considering its rocky launch of 1.0. Its rebirth into today’s blossoming MMO is often cited as the gold standard of a game revival....

I playedCyberpunk 2077 at launch with little success. While the PC version fared better than those who bought the game,and were refunded, on console, even my 3070 couldn’t keep Night City running at a steady framerate. Normally, I’m not too bothered about that sort of thing, but in Cyberpunk, it was a major issue that exacerbated its many problems. I’m not one for extracting every possible frame out of a game, performance just doesn’t matter that much to me....

Bandai Namcoappears to have accidentally confirmed the next two characters coming toTekken 8’s roster, which also might have added evidence for a leak from earlier in the week. Although it might not have its own tournament yet thanks to it not actually being out, Tekken 8 is still one of the biggest games at EVO this year, and one that Bandai Namco seems to have some special plans for. You wouldn’t know that just yet, though,as its first panel was mostly focused on data learned from the Closed Network Tests, with a reveal instead seemingly planned for Sunday....

Theamiibowheel has been turning quicker than usual for the last few weeks. Between new figures being announced and others getting release dates, there has been a lot for collectors to keep an eye on, especially if you want to bag the figures before they quickly sell out. Among the amiibos to have gone up for pre-order this month are Zelda and Ganondorf’sTears of the Kingdommodels, and now Link’s amiibo is back in stock too....

Geoff Keighley wanted to make it very clear ahead of 2023’sGamescomOpening Night Live that this year’s show was more about expanding on games that had already been revealed rather than revealing projects we didn’t previously know about. A fair warning to make as there is still so much more to come that we already know about in 2023. There were a few reveals sprinkled into ONL though, including a first look atLittle Nightmares 3....

Summary The running back position has slowly lost its luster in the last decade or so in the National Football League. Fans and teams alike used to worship the grind and grit that came from the position and idolized players like Barry Sanders, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Frank Gore.

Quick Links Medusa’s name has now come up a couple times throughout your investigation inStray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and although Grace is wary of Medusa turning people to stone, she’s determined to investigate. Why was Medusa at The Reliquary the night Calliope was murdered, and what does she know about Athena?

Mortal Kombat 1’s Nitara reveal trailer features a surprising reference to a piece of MK history that many people have probably forgotten about -Mortal Kombat: Conquest. We’re just one short week away from the long-awaited release of Mortal Kombat 1 and, despite the game being so close we can practically smell Scorpion’s flaming head,NetherRealm surprisingly hasn’t officially revealed every character yet. The third-to-last character revealed was a doozy, however,as not only is Deadly Alliance’s Nitara returning after 17 years,but she’s also portrayed by Megan Fox this time around....

Mortal Kombat 1will launch onSteamwith Denuvo DRM, according to an update on its storepage. The controversial anti-tamper software is intended to prevent, or at least halt, efforts to pirate the game, but it is also linked to performance issues. Denuvo was added to the storefront just days ago without warning, but it was thankfully spotted by fans online. It doesn’t seem that there will be a release of the game on PC without it, so anyone who has struggled to run games that use Denuvo in the past may want to reconsider what platform they play on....
