Nioh 2 is the first game that truly made me want to break my controller. And I don’t mean throw it against a wall or toss it on the floor. I mean grab a hammer, smash my controller into pieces, and then take those pieces and hurl them at random people on the street while shouting incoherent obscenities. Team Ninja apparently looked at Dark Souls and thought to themselves ,“Well, we can certainly make a game that’s harder than that....
Xbox One games and Xbox 360 games (via backward compatibility) can now be played with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets thanks to the Xbox One streaming app. Two years ago, Microsoft announced its partnership with Oculus VR, the Facebook-owned virtual reality company. As part of the partnership, Xbox One controllers would be compatible with the Oculus Rift headset and Xbox One games could be streamed to the headset. While Oculus VR users have enjoyed controller compatibility for quite some time, they’ve been forced to wait to play Xbox One games; but now, that wait is over....
“Who doesn’t want to be a pirate?” Rhys Darby certainly does, but not just any pirate. In the new HBO Max series Our Flag Means Death, the comedian immediately recognizable from Jumanji: The Next Level, What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of the Conchords, and so many more roles, assumes the mantle of real-life “gentleman pirate” Stede Bonnet. Premiering March 3 with three episodes, Our Flag Means Death was created by David Jenkins (People of Earth), and co-created by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows), who also co-stars as the dread pirate Blackbeard....
Since the launch of Outriders last week, players have been experiencing multiplayer connection issues and multiple days of server downtime. However, the developers have been providing frequent updates on the status of the game via Outrider’s Twitter account. Outriders, like many other AAA titles, supports crossplay between PC and console players. Due to server connection issues, crossplay seems to not work properly and People Can Fly has stated that they are working on a fix for this and is currently in the testing phase....
During today’s Outriders broadcast, hopefuls saw a little bit of everything from gameplay of the Pyromancer and in-depth dive into the Trickster to the way its World Tiers work and a few story beats. People Can Fly then answered some questions it received via fan mail, touching on two aspects of the game many have come to expect: microtransactions and games as a service. Microtransactions, to many, are a dirty word....

A new Monster Hunter is here, and that means fans have to start from the beginning once more. Time to gather a bunch of herbs, berries, and ore to keep a good stock of potions and craft new armor. Thankfully, Monster Hunter Rise is all about streamlining things for new players and veterans alike. My favorite quality of life change, by far, is the way gathering spots are now handled. In Monster Hunter World, you had to interact with a gathering spot three times to earn everything it had to offer....
It’s been a pretty good year thus far for fighting game fans. 2015 has provided fight aficionados with the solid, albeit incredibly violent, Mortal Kombat X which requires users to have skills to be anywhere near proficient in it, while the inevitable arrival of next year’s Street Fighter 5 has been egging on consumers with a number of character reveals. The meat of the content arriving this year, however, has been from Warner Bros....

This is why social game news site N4G has taken a different approach to articles about the coronavirus: they will simply not allow rumors or opinion pieces on their site, but only fact-checked stories, in an effort to treat the pandemic and related news “carefully and respectfully....
By now, dedicated Pokémon fans have surely heard the glorious news: a new installment of Pokémon Snap is in development for Nintendo Switch. The N64 original was a highlight of many young gamers’ childhoods, one of our very first glimpses of Pokémon in a 3D environment. A celebration of Generation I’s timeless designs—celebrating them in the sense of heaving Pester Balls at them. Having said that, we’ve got to address the fact that only 63 different critters featured in the original Pokémon Snap....
Frantic roguelikes are a dime a dozen these days, with many titles falling flat from not having enough variety in the procedurally generated levels and dungeons, repetitive gameplay, or a lack of choices in terms of loot and weapons. Progression systems - or lack thereof - can also present an issue if every new run fails to provide at least some sort of character or game progression upon dying, simultaneously making each run tedious and, ultimately, not much fun....
The Witcher season two is still a long ways away, but Netflix gave the tiniest of teases during a Halloween video. It’s not much to go on, and it’s certainly not Geralt in new armor, but it may give Witcher fans a few seconds of bliss. The video comes from a tweet on the official Netflix Witcher account. Clips play of the various beasts Geralt encountered in season one, set to the tune of Monster Mash....
Ahead of the rollout for Season 2 of the Avernus module for Dungeons and Dragons MMO Neverwinter, Game Rant got an exclusive chance to talk to the game’s Senior System Designer Doug Miller, also known as Asterdahl on Reddit and other forums.

Is there going to be a GTA VI, and if so, can Rockstar release some info about the project, please?...
Nintendo has released more than five minutes of footage from upcoming title Mario Golf: Super Rush. A new Mario game is almost upon us. One that will revive a spinoff franchise that has laid dormant for almost 20 years. Well, at least on home consoles. Mario Golf: Super Rush is coming to Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2021, and is the first mainline Mario Golf game since Toadstool Tour was released on Gamecube in 2003....
After the recent controversy surrounding Star Wars Battlefront 2’s loot box system, as well as the closing of Visceral Games and the transition of the studio’s Star Wars title from a linear game to a “broader experience,” it’s safe to say that fans aren’t too pleased with EA. Now, following the most recent wave of outrage, a new petition has surfaced online that encourages Lucasfilm to revoke EA’s license to the Star Wars franchise....
The Pokemon Company releases Pokemon Duel on iOS and Android, with the free-to-play game being described as ‘a strategy board game that uses Pokemon figures.’ Pokemon developer The Pokemon Company already has a huge mobile hit on its hands with Pokemon GO. The augmented reality game amassed over 500 million downloads last year and Pokemon GO also helped the App Store’s revenues reach $20 billion for the year. But is GO destined to be a one-hit wonder?...
