Amazon Games Investigating New World Invulnerability Exploit

New World player “Inkassokrav” posted the exploit to the game’s forum, alongside a video showing that it’s fairly easy to replicate. It involves switching the game to windowed mode and dragging said window around, which freezes your character’s animation and makes them unable to take damage. Once you let go of the window, the character will take all of the accumulated damage at once if they were being hit, so it’s not like you can just go running around all immortal-like....

Amd S B550 Motherboards Are Finally Here Bringing Pcie 4 0 To The Masses

The B550 chipset also supports the super fast PCIe 4.0 standard like AMD’s flagship X570 motherboards, which gives you even more future-proofing for adding PCIe 4.0 SSDs and graphics cards to your system further down the line. All of AMD’s existing Radeon RX 5000 GPUs have support for PCIe 4.0, for example, including the budget-oriented RX 5500 XT, and there are more PCIe 4.0 SSDs starting to become available now, too, although the latter still cost an arm and a leg like the £270 / $230 1TB Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen 4 SSD....

Apex Legends Powerful New Bow Has Already Been Nerfed

Respawn updated the game last night with the new tweaks, and you can see the full list of patch notes in their tweet here. They’ve also added these changes to the regular Legacy patch notes. The Bocek Bow was the newly introduced weapon for the Legacy update. As with most video game bows, drawing it then firing at its max power will do the most damage. Until last night, though, the Bocek would hit enemy players for 70 damage to the body, which was the same as the Sentinel sniper (a weapon that takes a lot more time to fire a shot with, so yeah, not great)....

Apex Legends Very First Story Quest Is Live

Before you do the first mission you can read a conversation between Loba and the rest of the squad about what they’re up to. It seems she’s roped everyone into helping her find artifacts to destroy a Revenant in another dimension. At least, I think this is the case. It’s a little confusing right now, but hopefully future chapters of this story will make everything a little more clear. This first mission is pretty simple....

Apex Legends Season 13 Lands In May Along With New Character Newcastle

There’s a very good reason why this trailer spends so much time concentrating on starting Legend Bangalore. Some kind of giant enemy crustacean with a weak point on its back attacks the Apex crew during her leaving party – she’s retiring from the games to try to track down her family. After the big bad is defeated and a few brain cells have fired together, Bangalore removes her replacement Newcastle’s helmet to find out he’s her missing brother, Jackson....

Apex Legends Triple Take Stats

Apex Legends tips | Apex Legends Arena mode | Apex Legends best characters | Best loadout in Apex Legends | Apex Legends attachments | Apex Legends Armor & Gear | Low Profile and Fortified in Apex Legends Apex Legends Triple Take overview Potent at both close and long range, the Triple Take is one of the oddest weapons in the Apex Legends arsenal. Firing three bullets in a triangle pattern with every blast, this rifle is extremely accurate at longer distances thanks to its ADS spread tightening feature: the longer you aim down sights for, the tighter the spread, until it’s pretty much a single triple-strength projectile....

Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora Tech Video Talks Ray Tracing And Npc Ai

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora is being developed by Massive Entertainment, and they’re building it on their Snowdrop engine, which was first created for use in Tom Clancy’s The Division. The video above talks about how the engine has changed with lots of marketing-speak, but it was enough to remind me of the things from Avatar that would be fun to explore in a videogame. Perhaps the fanciest of the additions is real-time ray tracing, which makes the world’s lighting theoretically more realistic....

Battlefield 2042 Pc Review

The honeymoon period is over, basically. My relationship with the game in the real world, outside of EAs strict boundaries has lessened. I’m sorry to say it, but we’ve grown apart. Things are average between us, and perhaps only Portal, the game’s custom mode creator, can salvage things. Battlefield 2042 is a hefty package split into three chunks: All Out Warfare, Hazard Zone, and Portal. All Out Warfare comprises Conquest and Breakthrough, the game’s ‘classic’ modes....

Battlefield 2042 Shoots Onto Game Pass With A New Map Specialist And Nippy Tank

The new map is called Operation Spearpoint, and it features “two fully automated megafactories and an untamed terrain”. The map’s very own trailer goes into more detail here, where a man runs through all the different capture points in his best subdued bombast voice. They’re billing it as a close-quarters focused map, though it looks like most of the squabbling actually happens outdoors across a river and some nice-looking hillocks....

Boyfriend Dungeon Celebrates Its 1St Anniversary With Free Dlc

It’s not actually Boyfriend Dungeon’s anniversary today – that would have been last week on August 11th – but hey, better late than never, right? It’s the game’s first major update, too, and adds in the last elements of developer Kitfox Games’ promised Kickstarter stretch goals. The new dungeon coming in Secret Weapons has one of the new dateables for its final boss.

Bravely Default 2 Is Headed To Pc Next Week

Here’s a new trailer for the Steam release: For those keeping count, Bravely Default 2 is the third game in the JRPG series, and it stars all-new characters so you needn’t have played the first two on Nintendo DS and 3DS. Its story sounds like pretty standard JRPG stuff, to me at least - four heroes set off to gather crystals representing the four elements and to defeat an ancient evil - but the first two games had big mid-game twists and perhaps Bravely Default 2 does as well....

Bug Splatting In The Starship Troopers Rts Demo Is Harder Than You D Think

It is perhaps unfair to liken the production of RTS games to a mill. Though (as openly stated in a tutorial video for Terran Command) they often share common features and controls, they’re also some of the most finicky and precise games out there. Terran Command is no different. You have squads of little shooty-soldiers, and they shoot waves of angry alien bugs at your command. But I think that Terran Command is maybe too finicky....

Bugsnax Launches On November 12Th

There’s nothing wrong with doing a nice video where you show your voice talent alongside their characters. It’s just that they’re bugsnax and grumpus (grumpuses?). Seeing these allegedly normal human beings in nice headshots beside their wacko talking characters is like watching someone crawl out of the mouth of a sports mascot and then the face of that person unzips and some other creature crawls out of them too. Then you get to the humans voicing things like Banoppers and Cheepoofs and whatnot....

“You’re pretty good at stuff, and nobody hates you yet” is also how I got this job. I’m not entirely sure what to make of Bugsnax to be honest. Like Alice B, many were equally charmed and bemused by its original trailer back in June, with its cheerful talking fuzzy creatures having their body parts warped into the food they ate somehow being nowhere near as sinister as it sounds....
