The reward, however, is an item which allows you to unlock an entirely new ending to the game, so it’s well worth following our walkthrough on Fia’s quest in Elden Ring to find out exactly how to complete every step of the journey. Elden Ring Fia quest walkthrough Fia the Deathbed Companion is an important character in Elden Ring. Much like with the witch Ranni, completing Fia’s entire questline unlocks an entirely new ending for you to experience after defeating the final boss....

Epic and Apple (as well as Google) have been lawfighting since Epic snuck their own payment system into the mobile version of Fortnite, which bypassed the official payment systems. That got the game kicked off both app stores. Epic are taking a dramatic stand against walled gardens and their strict rules, and have been waging a PR war against Apple in particular. Then Apple threatened to kill all of Epic’s dev accounts, and Epic say hey hang on....

Of those three, I’ve only really spent a lot of time with Darksiders II, which is an excellent third-person action game that liberally steals from lots of other good games. It’s rammed with wall-running adventures in a world with mountain-sized eyeballs, tall dwarves, and a nice horse. It’s great, and it really shouldn’t be free at any point, but there you go. I didn’t play the first Darksiders, and I probably never will, but that shouldn’t stop you....

E3 2021 was a weird one. There were some cool reveals like Arkane’s Redfall, and people lost their minds over Elden Ring, but it was definitely light on WOW moments. Also, there were a few strange things, like that bit where Randy Pitchford bothered celebrities on a movie set for half an hour. Still… Forza Horizon 5 looks great, doesn’t it? People are getting vaccinated and COVID restrictions are lifting, so you’d hope that by June of next year, things will be back to normal, and we’ll get to hear the familiar sound of Microsoft employees whooping and hollering at the mention of a season pass or whatever....

Evolve is finally back though, and about time too. The Darkmoon Faire expansion has given us enough to make playing an evolve deck worth it, with cards . To get you started we’ve got an overview of the deck itself, detailed insight into how to actually play it, and Mulligan advice to help you pick your starting hand. We’ve also got a look at all the combos contained in this deck, and some final thoughts on card choices and possible substitutions....

It wasn’t a long rest, however, because Metzen got the itch to start creating cool fictional worlds once more. Now he’s joined up with another former Blizz dev, Mike Gilmartin, to make tabletop games at a new company, Warchief Gaming. They founded Warchief Gaming in 2018 as a tabletop club for Metzen, Gilmartin and their pals to hang out. “Tabletop is where I learned to be creative with my friends growing up, playing D&D, playing Warhammer,” Metzen told VentureBeat....

Fallout 76 perk cards guide This Fallout 76 perk cards guide will have more on exactly how to obtain them and what you need to do to upgrade them, along with the full list of all the perk cards and their subsequent effects by rank. Those looking for a beginner’s guide to get started with the Fallout 76 should have a look at our Fallout 76 guide. This is perhaps the biggest change with how Fallout 76 plays compared to previous Fallout games, so we’ll now go into just want the cards do and how to obtain them....

Far Cry 2, made by Ubisoft rather than series creators Crytek, seemed quite separate. While the first game saw a fella tumble into a sci-fi plot on a tropical island with mutated monkey monsters, the follow-up focused on civil war in a nonspecific African country. We’re sent to assassinate The Jackal, an arms dealer who’s been supplying both sides, until it all goes wrong. No murdermonkeys at all. It seemed a spiritual sequel at most....

FFFLOOD was, in short, a Vlambeer’d take on tower defense that the devs had been messing with since Super Crate Box’s launch in 2010. That meant it’d be “dumbed down and actioned up”, replacing slow and careful tower placement with a hectic, constant onslaught of baddies you’d fight off by slamming turrets into the ground haphazardly. “We wanted a game where you wouldn’t carefully consider your positioning, but instead hold down a button and drop a whole line of ten-ton turrets straight from orbit,” JW Nijman writes on the FFFLOOD Itch page....

A label on FF7 Remake’s box once said it was “Timed Exclusive until 3/3/21” (one year after its then-launch date), and now says “Timed Exclusive until 4/10/2021” (one year after the new date, remembering American dates are weird so they’re talking April). Gang, come on, be polite. They’ve not said anything about what happens on April 10th, 2021 or after it. It’d be rude to say that they’d have to be daft to make this vast, expensive game strictly for one system in these days of multiplatform releases....

The trailer introduces us to the Eikons, which is the in-universe term for the summons that will clash on the battlefield as war breaks out. There are eight of them here: Phoenix, Titan, Garuda, Ramuh, Shiva, Odin, Bahamut, and Ifrit. A blog post by the developers gives a little more information on the Titan and Garuda specifically, as well as their Dominants - the people who control them, who are also featured in the trailer....

But while new hardware is exciting and all that, nothing has got my blood pumping this week like the announcement of Square Enix’s brilliant Symphonic Memories Concert CD going on sale during Tokyo Games Show week. I have been waiting for this CD for literal years, and I am so happy it’s finally getting a proper release. So yes, you bet I was up at the crack of dawn hitting that refresh button for a CD, because there was no way in hell I was letting this one slip through my fingers....

The original article, posted upon Forza Horizon 5’s launch, continues beneath the video. Cheers! I’ll admit I misjudged Forza Horizon 5 – not just the extent to which I’d enjoy it, but how much its searingly shiny visuals could justify the significantly heightened PC requirements. Well, lock me in one of this game’s hundreds of boots and take me away, because it’s both tonnes of fun and genuinely, magnificently gorgeous....

Fast forward to now. Suddenly I own the latest expansion The Queen And The Sea, plus all the DLCs that came before it. I’m nonchalant, thinking that I dropped the game for a reason. Surely I can’t be won almost three years later? Well, nope. I was wrong. The DLCs have opened my eyes to the game in ways I hadn’t anticipated. The combat is crunchy, the challenge is thrilling, and Dead Cells more than holds its own next to more modern darlings of the genre like Hades....

Owned by mega-publisher Ziff Davis, HowLongToBeat is a crowdsourced site fed by users telling its database how many hours a game took them. It crunches these numbers to offer estimates for several playstyles, and now the Xbox app includes those numbers. I think this is valuable info on Game Pass. While it does have a great lineup of fancy new releases, I find the service most useful for games I don’t feel strongly enough about to buy but would enjoy checking out....

On the story side, Genshin has added a new Archon Quest called A New Star Approaches. “The mysterious emissary Ganyu appears before you at Third-Round Knockout,” Mihoyo say. “Claiming to have come at Ningguang’s behest, she invites you to the skyfaring palace known as the Jade Chamber.” They’ve also added a story quest called the Monoceros Caeli Chapter involving the new 5-star character Childe. As for those new characters, today’s update adds 5-star hydro bow user Childe, 5-star geo polearm-er Zhongli, 4-star cryo bow user Diona, and 4-star pyro claymore wielder Xinyan....

Paimon’s appearance in London is part of something called Giant Paimon’s Global Endless Journey, which HoYoVerse say is a “river drifting voyage starting from River Thames”. The inflatable will be sailing up and down the river from 9am on October 2nd. A meet-up at Butler’s Wharf starts at 4pm that day, where you’ll be able to get up close to the gas-filled mascot in front of Tower Bridge. If it gets too busy then you might be limited to half an hour in the venue, which is a floating pier on the Thames....

“George Orwell once famously said that, ‘In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia ‘, and games are no exception,” the devs say. “If we want to mature as art and entertainment, we need to learn how to tackle a wider range and more complicated subject matters....

If you’ve ever wanted a comprehensive history lesson on the life and career of Tropico’s El Presidente, the Totally Tropico bundle is a great place to start. In the first bracket, which will set you back a whole 76p in the UK or one whole dollar in the US, you get Tropico 3 and the Tropico Reloaded compilation, which includes the original Tropico, its Paradise Island expansion and Tropico 2: Pirate Cove....
