The Stardew Valley Concert Should Serve as a Sign to Developers to Show Their Music Some Love

3 days 19 hours ago

The Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons is an official concert tour that will travel the world to play the music from the game. Not only have the pre-sales been successful, but they’ve needed to add extra dates in order to support the demand, which just goes to show just how important the music in a game can be.

Stardew Valley has had the music nailed down since the moment that it launched, and for me personally, it became a huge reason to keep coming back. It’s soothing, simple, ambient, and fitting for the environment that the game sets out for itself. Not just that, but it fits perfectly with the overall vibe of the game to the point where you don’t have to be actively farming to still evoke those same emotions.

The Sims 4: For Rent Is a Builder’s Dream Packed With Some New Challenges

4 days 14 hours ago

When the City Living EP initially dropped, many Simmers weren’t too keen on the segregated apartment lifestyle that it introduced. However, this impression has since changed with the upcoming Sims 4 For Rent pack that finally ushers in a multi-family household.

I got the chance to attend a For Rent early digital event to get a sneak peek at these new features, showcasing a more complex side to the classic Build Mode. The life of a Property Owner was one of the first big changes I was surprised to see, given that landlord roles are relatively designated for NPCs.

PSA: You Can Improve Lethal Company’s Graphics With This Mod

4 days 23 hours ago

Saying that Lethal Company’s graphics are quirky would be putting it mildly. But for those who are not fans of pixelated, blurred, jagged edges, there is a way to play comfortably. Here is how to improve Lethal Company graphics using mods.

We can all agree on one thing: Lethal Company’s graphics aren’t the best. Lethal Company’s developer, Zeekerss, has left players with no options to adjust their graphics settings in-game besides brightness level. You could even fool a friend or two by saying it’s a game from 15 years ago that got re-released recently.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Are Ecstatic that They Can Finally Properly Kiss Their Husbandos

5 days 6 hours ago

New Honour Mode and Custom Mode difficulty settings? Okay. Finally able to get Orin’s cool-looking armor? Yawn. It’s now easier to recruit Minthara? Tell me something I care about. Larian Studios just released Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3, and sure, it comes with all these awesome new improvements and additions, but you know what the biggest feature is? Being able to kiss your romantic interest of choice.

Prior to Patch 5, the kissing scenes between the player character and the Baldur’s Gate 3 party members were mediocre at best. Some scenes don’t even show the characters’ lips touching, and it’s pretty immersion-breaking, to say the least. With the release of Patch 5, however, it’s clear that Larian knows what’s important to the fans, and they have delivered.

Destiny 2’s New Seasonal Bundles Aren’t Earning Bungie Any Good Will

5 days 11 hours ago

The final season of Destiny 2 is here, and it is being overshadowed by yet another huge marketing blunder on Bungie’s part. So, together, let’s discover how Destiny 2’s new seasonal bundles aren’t earning Bungie any good will.

Not long ago, Bungie laid off around 8% of their workforce, including the legendary composer Michael Salvatori. The news shocked the gaming industry and put a bad taste into many of Destiny 2’s current and would-be players. From that point on, Bungie needed to win us, the players, back—to earn our trust again where it’s been broken many times before.

Dandadan Won’t Be the Next Chainsaw Man (& We’re Better for it)

6 days 12 hours ago

The first official trailer for the Dandadan anime has only been out for a few days, but anime fans have already taken to starting a tried and true discussion. More specifically, they’ve posited whether or not the series will be “the next Chainsaw Man”.

At first glance, it’s a fair discussion to have. After all, both offer a wildly irreverent take on the usual Shonen framework through exaggerated perversion, wild spins on world-ending threats, and less than noble protagonists. Heck, Dandadan‘s creator Yukinobu Tatsu was even an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto during the creation and publication of the first part of Chainsaw Man, so surely his breakthrough work takes heavy inspiration from the series he worked on in the past.

Second Dinner Reassures Fans Marvel Snap Won’t Be Affected by Nuverse’s Dissolution

1 week 1 day ago

This past weekend, TikTok creators ByteDance revealed that they were winding down Nuverse and retreat from the mainstream gaming space. According to a report from Reuters, ByteDance is restructuring their gaming business, and employees will be told to stop working on unreleased games, while the company looks to divest from titles that have already been launched.

As the publisher of Marvel Snap, Nuverse’s dissolution may come as a source of concern for fans, many of whom have likely already spent a significant amount of money on the digital card battler.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC

Call of Duty is a household franchise that has spanned the course of two decades and has often breached into the mainstream like no other video game. Its highest highs are matched with some lowest of lows but with the brand new release of Modern Warfare 3, we want to see if it can match juggernauts like Black Ops 1 or flounder with Vanguard.

So first let’s talk about the Campaign. At the risk of sounding dramatic or hyperbolic, the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign may just be the one of, if not the worst Campaigns in the history of the series.

Lethal Company Players Discover that the Game’s So Much Better With Gangnam Style In It

Developed by Zeekerss, Lethal Company is the latest multiplayer horror indie hit on Steam. Its explosion in popularity quickly led to it surpassing Phasmophobia in terms of peak concurrent players, and needless to say, the fun mods are already pouring in.

Reddit user u/boheaa posted a clip on the forum showing off the custom boombox music mod for the game, and while it’s simple in premise, it also makes the game that much more goofy and funny. The mod in question does exactly what it says on the box: it lets you play custom music on the in-game boombox, which players can carry around the map.

Second Dinner Promises More Updates on Marvel Snap Series Drops this Year

2 weeks ago

Ask any Marvel Snap player what they think about Series drops, and it’ll quickly become clear that this is a pretty contentious topic within the community. When Series 4 and 5 were first introduced to the game, Second Dinner had stated that Series 5 cards would drop to Series 4 after a set amount of time.

However, they quickly reneged on this statement and implemented a flexible Series drop system, where new cards would occasionally release in Series 4, and Series drops would happen as and when it made sense. With that in mind, we haven’t seen a proper Series drop in more than half a year, and naturally, the community is getting pretty pissed off about it.

We Need to Talk About Persona 5 Tactica’s Dialogue Problem

It’s no surprise that the newest Persona spin-off is pretty dang dialogue-heavy. The high concentration of story and character dialogue is what I and so many others love about the series. But no amount of fandom could blind me to just how longwinded Persona 5 Tactica‘s dialogue can be. I’ll explain why the game’s dialogue feels heavy-handed at times, and what can be done to rectify it in future entries.

Lastly, this is no mere spin-off fatigue setting in; at least I don’t think it is. There are real problems inherent in some of the dialogue that cripples the flow of an otherwise brilliant tactics game.

Worst Nintendo Wii Games Everyone Loves to Hate

It’s a miracle Anubis II was released, let alone ported to the Nintendo Wii. If you can spare 15 to 30 minutes, that’s all you need to beat the game, provided you manage to avoid enough bugs and glitches. None of the levels offer any real challenge other than timing and the occasional enemy. Heck, you’ll spend more time fighting the camera than you do enemies!
