STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl developer GSC Game World has issued a major patch for the shooter, targeting some 1,700 fixes and improvements including to the A-Life 2.0 system. Patch 1.2 is, as described by GSC Game World in a post on Steam, “a massive one,” and impacts all aspects of the game, such as balance, locations, quests, blockers, crashes, performance, and the aforementioned A-Life 2.0. STALKER 2 launched in November to a positive reception on Steam and 1 million sales. It’s a success for the Ukrainian studio, a miracle, really, considering the harrowing circumstances that followed Russian’s full-scale invasion of the country in 2022. But Stalker 2 suffers from well-documented bugs and issues; chief among them A-Life 2.0. A-Life was a key feature of the first STALKER game that governed AI behavior across the game world. At a high level, it is a system for simulating life in the Zone that works its magic seemingly independently of the player’s actions or whereabouts. It helps to create convincing AI and the emergent gameplay STALKER is famous for. GSC had said A-Life 2.0 would make the Zone feel alive as never before, that it would fuel emergent gameplay on a scale previously thought impossible. Indeed for some fans, A-Life 2.0 was STALKER 2’s biggest selling point. But when STALKER 2 actually came out players discovered that A-Life 2.0 didn’t work properly, with some questioning whether it was even in the game at all. In an interview with IGN, GSC explained what went wrong with STALKER 2’s A-Life 2.0, and vowed to fix the system. Patch 1.1, released in December, was the first step on that road. Patch 1.2, out now, is the next step. Patch notes are below. STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl update 1.2 patch notes:AIFixed a bug with A-Life NPCs unable to properly approach corpses.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set for Update 3 next week, Bethesda has announced. Ahead of the full patch notes, Bethesda released initial details on Update 3 in a tweet. It’s set to make a number of fixes and improvements, as well as add support for Nvidia DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Players are hoping Update 3 fixes the various game-breaking bugs Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has suffered from since its launch in early December. Last month, Bethesda said the February update would add new graphical features and options, and the bug fixes would target issues that have prevented some players from 100%-ing the game and from climbing vines or squeezing through walls in Sukhothai. It’s unclear at this stage if any or all those changes have made it into next week’s patch. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launched on PC and Xbox Series X and S and, as a Microsoft-owned game, day-one on Game Pass, and has reached 4 million players so far. MachineGames' latest release garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards, including three at the D.I.C.E. Awards. A PlayStation 5 release is set for this spring. Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford has said Troy Baker playing the beloved character in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is proof "you don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul." Ford discussed alleviating control of Indy with The Wall Street Journal, saying he was very happy with the performance of The Last of Us actor Baker. "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul," Ford said. "You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."

After a crazy ending to Severance Season 2 Episode 4, Woe's Hollow, Episode 5 titled *******'s Horse followed up with a not-as-crazy but still pretty wild ending. Let's break down what exactly was going on to Mark at the end of Episode 5. Image via Apple TV+ What is going on with Mark? In the final scene of Severance 2 Season 5, *******'s Horse, we see Mark really going through it. For starters, he's still got that cough, the one that's seemingly been nagging him the last few episodes. When did we last see that? From Mark's work buddy Petey in Season 1 who had debilitating—and eventually fatal—effects from reintegration. As he goes to leave his reintegration session with Reghabi, a former Lumon surgeon who also assisted Petey, he hears his wife Gemma's voice. As he tries to shake it off, Mark hears it again, before his surroundings change to the long ****** hallway from the Lumon severed floor that Irving often paints. He walks towards the voice of his wife, who seems to be reciting what Ms. Casey told Mark's innie during his Wellness Session. "Your outie listens to misc while shaving, but not while showering," he hears, trying to navigate what appears to be the halls of the Lumon severed floor searching for her. The voice grows closer, "Your outie once called a butterfly," Mark hears, before turning around to see none other than his wife Gemma, as she appeared at Lumon on the severed floor—AKA like Ms. Casey—looking back at him. Mark freezes instantly with a look of fear, excitement, and sadness all at the same time. Which, by the way, Adam Scott has been absolutely killing it this season. Well, to be fair, the whole cast has. Anyway, "Your outie is going to-," Gemma starts to tell him, before suddenly she disappears and Mark is back standing in his house, no longer in Lumon. Understandably, Mark bursts into tears. So what happened here? It appears reintegration is happening for Mark Early in Season 2 Mark made the choice to commence with reintegration. He held off in Season 1 after what happened to Petey, but learning his wife might actually still be alive, he made the decision to do it anyway. What happened at the end of Season 2 Episode 5 is exactly that: Mark is seeing/remembering the memories from his innie. While it's great for Mark to get confirmation that his wife Gemma is still alive—at least in some way—it's clearly taking a toll on Mark as indicated by his increased coughing. That being said, there's no way Mark puts an end to it after finally making some progress toward finding his wife. What else happened in Season 2 Episode 5? Here's some other thoughts I have after watching the Severance *******'s Horse episode, though beware some of these might be theories of an obsessed fan! After the goats in Episode 3, followed by the opening of Episode 5 with the dental equipment, and the discussion Helena Eagan had with Ms. Huang and Lumon about continuing the work on "Cold Harbor" and "feeling human", I can't but think back to the early moments of Season 1 Episode 1. After coming to, Helly asks, "Am I livestock?" Mark replies, "You think we grew a full human and gave you consciousness?" This might have been the biggest clue for what's going on in Severance and we got it right from the start. Irving's 8-bit innie ******** with watermelon was pretty cool, that's all I want. It would be awkward to be the ham on the table when Burt is introducing Irving to his husband Fields. Milchick is for sure going to flip and join the innies, and who would blame him?! I mean come on, the paper clips?! The post Severance Season 2 Episode 5 *******’s Horse ending, explained appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Earning money, or the in-game currency, is one of the most important tasks in Avowed, as they will directly dictate your in-game progression. The major issue isn't about earning the in-game currency, as there are different ways to obtain them. What matters is the rate at which you earn them and how you can speed up the process. Doing so has many benefits, but first, you need to understand how the in-game currency works in Avowed. Avowed in-game currency explained In Avowed, money comes in various forms, and they are different based on their colors and valuation. Copper Skeyt Silver Fenning Golden Scelling You can earn money by practically doing almost anything inside the game, but here are the best ways to do so efficiently. Best ways to make money in Avowed We are still early on our journeys in Avowed, but Bounty Missions appear to be the way to go. These missions can be found in every region, and you'll usually come across a board with different posters. When you check on them, you'll be tasked with completing certain missions. To complete the mission, just follow a quest marker to reach the required location. After defeating the target, search the body to have proof of your completed task. Go back to the city from where you received the quest and speak with the dedicated NPC to earn your rewards. The amount of in-game currency you get will depend on the regions from where you obtained the bounty, but the general process is pretty rewarding. It's also simple as to why you should explore more regions. Doing so will help you discover more Bounty Missions and get more currency in the process. Another useful way to get more money is by selling equipment that you're not going to use. There's no sense in keeping equipment that is already below the quality of your current setup, as it isn't worth stripping down for resources. Instead, selling the items will help you to get a lot more value in return. Always makes sure to open as many chests as possible as they will help you get valuables and equipment. Similarly, you'll come across valuable items that can only be sold for money (they have no other uses), so be on the lookout for those as well. In the end, completing as many quests as possible will also help you become richer. Hence, try to complete the side quests as well along with finishing the main storyline.

Early on in Severance Season 2 Episode 5, aptly titled *******'s Horse, Milchick compares Helena Eagan going undercover as Helly since the events of the Season 1 finale to the story of Grakappan. (Prouncouced Grak-Shoe-Pin) But is the story of Grakappan actually real, or just made up by Milchick? Image via Apple TV+ What is the Story of Grakappan? The story of Grakappan is referenced by Milchick early on in the episode when Helly questions why her outie, Helean Eagan, was on the Severance floor imitating her. After pondering the question, Milchick responds with a question, "Have you ever heard the story of Grakappan?". Understandably, none of them had. "In ancient times the King of Sweden himself was known to go incognito amongst his people in the hopes of learning their true grievances. He would don an old, gray robe, a Grakappan, the name for which he was remembered, to disguise his royal vestments," Milchick would explain. "Kier Eagan himself was known to do so in his ether factories, and Ms. Eagan was carrying on this noble tradition." So, according to Milchick, Helena Eagan was essentially doing her own version of Undercover Boss to try and learn the grievances of the MDR team to make Lumon a better workplace. We, the viewers, know that is not the case, and thankfully Mark, Helly, and Dylan aren't buying it either. The show, and more importantly management in Severance, like Milchick, are no strangers to making up stories, so it would be understandable to wonder if the story of Grakappan is actually true or even a real thing. So is the Story of Grakappan actually real? Yes, the story of Grakappan is actually real. After the end of the Scanian War between Sweden and Denmark in 1679, King Charles XI became known as the Greycoat, or the Grakappan in Swedish. He would intentionally disguise himself and visit villages across Sweden seeking to spot corruption against the populace from higher orders of power, usually the corrupt church. One famous story from King Charles XI actions as Grakappan talks of him visiting a village in disarray while its priest lived lavishly, while another nearby village was in outstanding condition but its priest was in poverty. King Charles XI switched the two priests to solve this issue. So the basis for Milchick's comparison of Helena Eagan's actions is based on real events. However, I wouldn't be surprised if his story about Kier Eagan doing the same as his ether factories is a fabricated part of the story.

Once you touch down on the lands of Dawnshore, you'll never be alone with the help of your allies. Although there isn't necessarily a bad choice with your teammates, some will prove more beneficial than others. We're here to rank them all with this Avowed Companion tier list. Best Avowed Companions, ranked With this tier list, we'll look into each Avowed Companion's Commands and Abilities to determine their advantages for your journey. We'll begin with the best of the best with S Tier, then work our way down to the slightly lower ones with B Tier. Each section will also deep dive into the Companion's skills if you want to know more about them. S Tier - Yatzli Screenshot by Destructoid Race: Orlan Class: Wizard How to Unlock: Complete A Path to the Garden/Face Your Fears Command: Dispel Illusion Voice Actor: Anjali Bhimani Having a formidable mage like Yatzli by your side will often turn the tide of battle, making every challenge feel like a breeze. All her Abilities focus on offense, from her bursting Essence Explosion to the deadly Minoletta's Missile Battery. Enemies won't really stand a chance against her, especially when they get caught up in her Arduous Delay of Motion. To top it off, Yatzli clears out a bunch of enemies with her Blast, covering a small area of impact for multiple hits. Like Kai and Giatta, she'll help clear out "Illusionary Objects" blockages using the handy Companion Command.

Her Purification skill offers an additional 25 percent of your maximum health, which will pair nicely with her Reconstruction healing ability. Not only does she restore health, but she also coats a shield around you through her Barrier skill and boosts movement and attack speed with Acceleration. It'll be hard to knock you down when Giatta's around, even against Avowed's colossal creatures. Furthermore, she'll help you with puzzles by opening locked doorways with her electrifying Spectral Jolt.

Many of his Abilities will halt enemies through its stunning properties, including Fire and Ice and Leap of Daring. You also don't have to worry too much about Kai while he's on the field since he can revive himself with Second Wind, giving him another chance on the battlefield. In addition to his Second Wind, Kai's Unbending Defense regenerates health and reduces damage by 25 percent to further his survivability. And, as a bonus, he can burn off most debris, so you don't have to waste your Essence with a flame-based spell. It'll assist you with quests like the Totem of Rightful Rulership.

I've relied on his Hunter's Sense Command, pinpointing enemies, loot, and plants nearby. His guiding waypoint ensures you don't miss out on any valuables, specifically with hidden chests. As for Marius' Abilities, he's a beast in combat, inflicting bleeding accumulation through Wounding Shots and firing piercing shots with Heart Seeker. He's relatively swift on the battlefield, too, sneaking up on foes using his Shadow Step. Marius Abilities Marius AbilitiesDescriptionUpgrade 1Upgrade 2Upgrade 3Binding Roots Roots an enemy into place for eight seconds with a 20-second Cooldown *******Constricting Roots: Deals Stun to trapped enemies from Binding Roots Grasping Roots: Traps multiple enemies in a small area of effectThorny Roots: Deals Bleed Accumulation to trapped foesHeart SeekerMarius fires a piercing shot that always hits its mark, even if there are obstacles in its path.

Fruits are an essential part of all One Piece-inspired Roblox experiences, including Verse Piece. The best ones will help you progress much quicker and help you grind end-game content and PvP with ease. To learn which fruits are the best, check out our Verse Piece fruit tier list below! Verse Piece Fruits Tier List Image via TierMaker S tier: Light (Dark), Light A tier: Flame (Cyan), Flame B tier: Bomb, Dark, Quake C tier: Invisible Full Verse Piece Fruit List TierNameDescriptionSLight (Dark)Light (Dark) has everything: an enhanced auto attack that deals decent damage, a movement ability that lets you fly between islands, and also gap-close enemies. Its damaging skills, which have a massive AoE, stun enemies, allowing for free DPS. It's just OP.SLightLight shares the same moveset with the Light (Dark) fruit while offering slightly less damage compared to it. It's the go-to mid and late-game damage option because it has a complete package of moves that lets you just spec into Defense and Special while also being very easy to acquire.AFlame (Cyan)Flame (Cyan) is a higher damage (and cooler) version of Flame. It has the highest raw damage of any fruit in Verse Piece and an amazing mobility skill. However, it lacks the CC and the custom M1 that Light and Light (Dark) have, so you'll have to use it with either a combat style or a weapon.AFlameFlame has no built-in auto attack, making it useful only when used with a weapon or a combat style as a backup. It has the same moveset as the Flame (Cyan) fruit, though it offers slightly less damage. Because it's relatively easy to acquire, it's one of the fruits to aim for in the early game.BBombThe Bomb is easily acquirable, and it's probably your best option for grinding in the beginning. Its two damaging skills and an auto attack have large AoE and solid damage, enabling you to concentrate your stat points on Special and Defence only. Its only drawback is a lack of CC.BDarkEven though its damage is on the lower end, Dark's skills have the overall largest AoE of all the fruit in Verse Piece. It has decent CC in the form of a pull that groups enemies. However, it lacks an auto attack move or a movement skill, which makes it good only for grinding mobs in the mid-game.BQuakeQuake is very similar to Dark as it also lacks any movement skills or a custom M1. Its skills have a slightly higher damage output and AoE compared to it, but the only CC option in its kit is a short-duration knock-up with the C skill.CInvisibleThis fruit, plain and simple, makes you invisible. In PvP, it can give you a slight advantage as your invisibility does not break even when attacking or using skills, but compared to all other fruit, it has no use in PvE. How to Get Fruits in Verse Piece Screenshot by Destructoid Obtaining fruits in Verse Piece is an easy task. All you have to do is go to the Merchant Island, which is directly south-west of the Starter Island. There, you will find the Random Fruit NPC behind a pink stall. Interacting with them will cost you 25 crystals, and in return, you will get a random fruit in your inventory. To learn the fruit's moveset, equip it and then use it by clicking M1. Note that doing this will overwrite your previous fruit. To open your inventory and see all the fruits that you have, press "~" (button above Tab) on your keyboard. Screenshot by Destructoid In case you end up with too many fruit in your inventory, you can use Backspace to drop a specific fruit to the ground (others will be able to pick it up). You can also throw away all the unequipped fruits by interacting with the Trash Bag that is next to the yellow stall on the same island. That concludes our Verse Piece fruit tier list.
