Fallout has a long and storied history. It started life as an isometric RPG in the '90s, before Bethesda bought the series and helmed a complete reinvention - the 2008 version of Fallout 3 totally changed the gameplay, perspective, and design. Even so, all these years later it's important not to forget that history, and this is exactly what the new Revelation Blues demo is doing. This Fallout New Vegas mod takes the original version of FO3 (codenamed Van Buren) and aims to reinvent it via the medium of Obsidian's masterpiece, and you can try it right now.

On Saturday, Games Workshop unexpectedly revealed Blood and Zeal, a new supplement for Warhammer 40k Kill Team, which pits the frenzied worshippers of the blood god Khorne against the equally unhinged adherents of the Ministorum priesthood. Both sets of models, but particularly the Ministorum, are a fantastic reminder of the grimdark nastiness that drew so many of us to Warhammer 40k in the first place. Read the rest of the story...

The Perfect Guard (Power Clash) is a brand new mechanic introduced in Monster Hunter Wilds, and it's quite powerful if you know how to use it. Here's a step-by-step guide, so you can dominate your foes. How to perform a Perfect Guard or Power Clash in Monster Hunter Wilds To clear up any confusion, Perfect Guards and Power Clashes are one and the same, but Power Clashes are limited to certain monster attacks, while Perfect Guard has no limitations. To perform a Perfect Guard, you need to use a weapon with a hard Guard mechanic. This means you can press the Guard button, and go into a Guard stance. These weapons have the guard mechanic attached to their kit: Great Sword Sword & Shield Lance Gunlance Charge Blade Heavy Bowgun If you're not using one of these weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, you cannot perform a Perfect Guard or Power Clash. Else you're already on the right track. Perfect Guard Screenshot by Destructoid A Perfect Guard sounds exactly like what it is. It is a Guard done just before a monster's attack hits you. You'll know you've performed one when you see a white flash on the Guard animation. I recommend going into the Training Area and practicing this mechanic, as it is not easy to get the timing down without a little practice and some serious patience. Monsters also have numerous timings on different attacks, so it will take extensive practice to understand and use effectively. Perfect Guards come with a number of rewarding benefits. The biggest one is that you will take no chip damage if you manage to perform it. For weapons like the Greatsword, a Perfect Guard negates Sharpness loss, which is huge, considering in past games, guarding with the Greatsword was an emergency measure only. Finally, performing a Perfect Guard negates the Stamina loss you'd normally suffer from defending or blocking against a monster's attack. The power of the attack does not matter if you can Perfect Block it, which is extremely powerful in the hands of someone who can perform them consistently. Power Clash Screenshot by Destructoid Now, if a monster's attack can be repelled by a Perfect Guard, you'll automatically perform a Power Clash instead. Power Clashes knock monsters off-balance, resulting in lots of free damage while also giving you all the same benefits of a Perfect Guard. If you're working with a squad, your Squad will thank you for performing a Power Clash, as it will give them a lot of free time to dish out the pain. The Power Clash animation is extremely obvious. During it, you will hold the monster in a power struggle for a few seconds. During this time, you need to press the attack button repeatedly to win the power struggle. Doing so will knock him away and off-balance. The monster will then be knocked down for a few seconds more, allowing for the follow-up damage I mentioned. If you fail the power struggle, however, you'll be knocked down instead. The post How to Perfect Guard and Power Clash in Monster Hunter Wilds appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
It’s all about pedal to the metal with the new DRIVE system in WoW The War Within Undermine(d). While you can only use it in the new Undermine zone, players want to bring the DRIVE feature to an old Goblin zone—the Mirage Raceway in Thousand Needles.

The DRIVE feature in Undermine(d) patch definitely took The War Within community by surprise—and now players are advocating for this mechanic to be implemented in the Mirage Raceway in Thousand Needles as well.

Monster Hunter Wilds has been racking up the skulls, attracting well over a million simultaneous Steam players this weekend despite a mixed player reaction, with particular scorn reserved for its technical performance. Now begins the process of patching the behemoth to address some player-reported problems with certain quests. Patching is sort of like slaughtering a Monster in reverse: sewing on horns and tails rather than chopping them off, re-embowelling the shackled form of the creature so that it can gallop across the plains, monstrous and free.

Heavy Bowgun users in Monster Hunter Wilds have run into a little bit of a problem. Spread Ammo, one of the basic ammo types that excels at short ranges, is coming up a tad short in high rank hunts. The damage is okay, but the lack of mobility and the extra risk of being so close makes it hard to justify when Pierce Ammo is sitting right there, not to mention all the other fancier ammo types you can craft.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey results are out and they show that the most popular graphics card used on Steam right now is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. This continues a long-running trend of Nvidia's 60-series gaming GPUs taking the top spot on the chart, with the RTX 3060 and GTX 1060 both holding the title previously. While the Steam Hardware Survey isn't the absolute last word on the popularity of all GPUs, the sheer number of gamers on the service - just last week it passed the milestone of 40 million active Steam players - means it's a great indicator of the wider PC gaming community. As such, it's safe to say this Nvidia GPU is indeed very widely used, even if the RTX 4060 can't claim to be the very best graphics card available right now. Read the rest of the story...

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developers Saber Interactive are pushing back on player calls to add an even-harder difficulty mode, following the introduction of an Absolute difficulty setting this spring via game update. Apparently, some of you muscleheads have been finding Absolute "a bit easy", or at least, not enough of a shake-up from the preceding Lethal difficulty. Saber are open to suggestions, here, but game director Dmitriy Grigorenko also reckons that "we are almost at our limit in terms of how we can make the game harder without making it unfair and not fun".

Darius has long been a nightmare for top laners in League of Legends, known for his oppressive laning phase and brute-force playstyle. But now, the Noxian general is tearing through an entirely different role—the jungle. The League champion fits in the Noxian season theme perfectly and seems among the top junglers for the current patch with his win rate around 55 percent, according to Lolalytics. Darius has seen a sharp rise in play rate, win rate, and even his ban rate in the last few days, and the champion has been rising across all the ranks in competitive matches, showing his massive impact in the jungle role.

Materials are crucial to upgrading your weapons and armor in Monster Hunter Wilds because not having the right gear can quickly end any quest you are on. Fucium Ore is one of the many materials you need. Unlike Monster resources in Monster Hunter Wilds, you harvest Fucium Ore from Mining Outcrops scattered across the map. The resource you receive will be random, however, with each Mining Outcrop providing three materials upon harvesting. View the full article
