A large part of the map is locked behind a gate when you arrive on the island in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. To access this area, you need to find the three Yellow Power Crystals missing from the gate. Chococat gives you a compass to help you track them down, but it’s not very helpful since the island is vast, and you’re given no direction for where you should start. They’re also spread out pretty far, so if you’re having trouble tracking them down, here’s where to find all three Yellow Power Crystals in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. View the full article
The upcoming fifth season of MultiVersus will be its last, the game’s developer has confirmed. “After careful consideration, our next Season will serve as the final seasonal content update for the game,” a statement on the game’s blog reads. Season 5 will run from February 5 until May 30, at which point the game will go offline and will be delisted from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam and Epic Games Store. Read More...

If you want to learn everything there is about Harley Sawyer in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, you’ll need to find his keycard to open his room inside the Doctor’s Headquarters. I won’t lie to you: When face-to-face with The Doctor’s robots, I spent most of the time running around like a headless chicken. Acting like I was playing a running simulator, I darted around the map, searching for the power cells to finally confront Harley Sawyer. But my drive to meet this experiment meant I neglected to look for anything else in this giant, dark room, missing out on Harley Sawyer’s keycard when I reached his lair. View the full article
Following layoffs at BioWare that saw the exit of many key developers of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, one former writer on the series has moved to reassure fans by saying: “DA isn't dead because it's yours now.” This week, EA restructured BioWare to focus on Mass Effect 5 only. Some who worked on Dragon Age: The Veilguard were moved to projects at other EA studios. Some revealed they were laid off and were now seeking work. The decision followed EA’s announcement that Dragon Age: The Veilguard had underperformed on its expectations for the long-awaited action RPG. EA said Dragon Age "engaged" 1.5 million players during its recent financial quarter, which was down nearly 50% from the company's projections. Notably, EA did not say the 1.5 million number was unit sales (Dragon Age: The Veilguard was also available as a part of EA's Play Pro subscription service). Additionally, it's not clear whether EA is counting a free trial of the game that was available through the cheaper EA Play subscription in the 1.5 million number either. Either way, EA’s announcement, its restructure of BioWare, and confirmation of layoffs have combined to create the sense within the Dragon Age fandom that the series is pretty much dead. There is no DLC planned for The Veilguard, and BioWare’s work on the game came to an end last week with what sounded like its last major update. But Dragon Age: The Veilguard senior writer Sheryl Chee, who was moved from BioWare to Iron Man and Battlefield developer Motive, took to social media to offer words of hope. "I'm now with Motive,” Chee began. “It's been a hard two years seeing my team get chipped away and having to still keep going. But I'm still employed, so there's that." Then, in response to a fan who lamented the death of Dragon Age, Chee replied to say the series now belongs to the fans who will keep it alive with their own contributions. “So a cool French woman dropped a cool quote from Camus on me today: ‘In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.’ (I mean, who does resistance like the French, right?) We're going through it right now. It's a lot, everywhere… “But DA isn't dead. There's fic. There's art. There's the connections we made through the games and because of the games. Technically EA/BioWare owns the IP but you can't own an idea, no matter how much they want to. “DA isn't dead because it's yours now.” Then: “So someone just reposted my thing saying they'll write a giant AU and that's what I'm talking about. If DA has inspired you to do something, if it sparks that Invincible summer, then it's done it's job, and it has been my greatest honor to have been a part of that.” Dragon Age began life with 2010’s Dragon Age: Origins, which was followed up just a year later by Dragon Age 2. Dragon Age: Inquisition released three years later, in 2014. But it took a decade for the latest sequel, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, to come out. In September, former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah, who left BioWare in 2020, revealed that Dragon Age Inquisition had sold over 12 million copies, and “massively” oversold EA’s internal projections for the game. EA has yet to outright say Dragon Age is dead, but it’s hard to see a new game in the series any time soon, if ever, given what’s happened to BioWare itself and the full focus on Mass Effect 5. As for Mass Effect, EA said a "core team" at BioWare is developing the next Mass Effect game under the leadership of veterans from the original trilogy, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, Parrish Ley, and others. “While we're not sharing numbers, the studio has the right number of people in the right roles to work on Mass Effect at this stage of development,” EA told IGN.

Knowing which character to pull for during the Phase 2 banners of Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 can be tough, especially with the extended lineup that developer HoYoverse has prepared, including one new character who follows a brand-new playable Path, as well as three different 5-star reruns. With the limited number of Stellar Jades players can obtain for free through natural gameplay, they will likely have to make difficult choices. Even with all the Stellar ***** in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0, it should be nearly impossible to obtain all four 5-star units during the limited three-week ******* before the banners refresh.

The first time I sat down to begin my review of the game, it felt like I blinked and I was suddenly 300 turns into the match—to say it’s entirely immersive is an understatement.

Just as we thought the number of cores in your average gaming CPU had hit a plateau, it looks as though next-generation Intel Core and AMD Ryzen desktop CPUs could feature many more cores than the CPUs of today. In fact, we could even be looking at 48-core Intel chips and 24-core AMD Ryzen chips, showing a big jump over the 24-core and 16-core threshold today. That's unlikely to make a big difference if you only use your PC for gaming, especially seeing as the best gaming CPU you can buy right now only has eight cores. However, for desktop users wanting a CPU that can do everything, from gaming to rendering, a new 24-core AMD chip, perhaps called the Ryzen 9 10950X, or a 48-core Intel chip, maybe called the Core Ultra 9 385K, could make a massive difference.

After launching onto Steam on Thursday January 30, Spider-Man 2 has already become the worst-rated PlayStation-published game on the entire platform. The PC port of The Last of Us faced technical issues at launch and its user reviews suffered as a result. Other releases such as Lego Horizon Adventures and the swiftly shuttered Concord have also been met with mixed reception. But citing various performance problems, Spider-Man 2 players have shared sufficient negative responses that the game now bears a 'mixed' rating and has a lower aggregate score than all of Sony's other first-party Steam releases.

Iconic Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, who's appeared in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and many more, has shared a heartfelt message amid his recovery after being found "barely alive" in his hotel room last week. A video from Johnson was uploaded to a {LINK REMOVED}GoFundMe page, which has so far raised $174,653 towards medical expenses and to cover bills, and revealed he was in a coma. "I found out there's a lot of love in this world that I didn't know was out there and I'm grateful to each and every one of you," Johnson said. I found out there's a lot of love in this world that I didn't know was out there. The voice actor and Washington Capitals announcer was in Atlanta to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation but, after flying down and checking into his hotel, alarms were raised as he didn't appear at the event. His wife Kim Johnson then phoned the hotel and security eventually got in with emergency medical technician crews who struggled to find a pulse. "Rumors of my demise, well they weren't exaggerated. It was very close, very close. But I'm still here," Johnson said. "I'm still here because my wife decided to call the hotel where I was staying, doing announcing for the Alzheimer's Association, and had my son call security, and find out I was nearly dead. "They took me to the hospital, put me in a coma. I was in there for five days before I found out that my wonderful friends Bill Glasser and Shari Elliker and Kim had put together this GoFundMe, where I found out there's a lot of love in this world that I didn't know was out there and I'm grateful to each and every one of you." Johnson thanked the National Alzheimer's Association for flying his family down to see him and putting them in hotels, thanked the chairman of the Washington Capitals parent company Ted Leonsis for donating $25,000, and he thanked Glasser and Elliker. Johnson also thanked Bethesda, who posted on social media to show support after news broke of his illness. "You say that I'm your friend. I am," he said. "Always will be. Love you guys." He then thanked fans, both those who've donated and those who've showed support otherwise. "I love you all. I'm not going anywhere," Johnson said. "It's going to be a while as I work my way back but I'm coming back. I look forward to seeing and having you all hear me then. Cheers." Johnson has also appeared in myriad film and television roles but his video game work is mostly in Bethesda titles, having most recently played Ron Hope in Starfield. He's also played Prince of Madness Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, three Daedric Princes (Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal) in The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Fawkes and Maister Burke in Fallout 3, Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II in Skyrim, Moe Cronin in Fallout 4, and more.

If you've been eagerly watching and waiting for the price of AMD's new Zen 5 CPUs to drop, then you now have a great chance to scoop up a bargain. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is now at its cheapest ever price in this Amazon gaming CPU deal, enabling you to save $39 on the usual price. It's a limited-time deal, though, so you'll need to get in quickly. This new AMD CPU was originally launched at an MSRP of $279, which has always made it a hard sell when its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X, has a much cheaper price. At $240, though, the new CPU makes a lot more sense, with this deal saving you 14% on the list price. It doesn't have the 3D V-cache of the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D to boost gaming performance, but it's a solid foundation if you want to build a gaming PC on a budget. Read the rest of the story...

Spider-Man 2 on PC was shaping up to be surprisingly performant once its system requirements were revealed. However, the Nixxes-developed port has debuted to a 'mixed' Steam user review rating, with many players complaining about technical issues. Currently, 55% of Spider-Man 2's Steam reviews are positive. “Despite having a high-end GPU and running the latest Nvidia drivers (5.66.36), the game frequently crashes,” said one RTX 4090 user. Another read: “The game is completely unplayable on PC. The game crashes to desktop every five minutes. I have already requested a refund.” "Hold off on buying until they get a couple of stabilization patches out because holy hell," one reviewer added. "To say this is 'rough' is an understatement. Lighting doesn't load in some cutscenes, those same scenes run at seconds-per-frame, audio desync issues up the wazoo, freezing, stuttering, and just about every other performance issue I can think of. "I'm gonna get a refund for now because frankly, there's other stuff I could use $70 for right now." The main issue appears to be that the game’s graphics controller crashes frequently, even with users on higher-end PCs. According to one reviewer, the error reads: “A problem has occurred with your display driver. This can be caused by out of date drivers, using game settings higher than your GPU can handle, an overheating GPU, or an error with the game. Please try updating your graphics drivers, or lowering your in-game settings.” Other users have complained that features like DLSS and ray tracing are not working properly, while others have mentioned long loading times, missing textures, and audio issues. Several players alleged that performance can also stutter after several hours of gameplay, before leading to a hard ******. Some believe a memory leak could cause the problems. Nixxes has responded to the reported crashes on the Steam forums, stating to one user: “Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. "Please refer to the troubleshooting guides on the Nixxes Support website and contact us if the problem persists. Make sure to include your logs and ****** dumps as outlined on the support website, so we can troubleshoot as quickly as possible.” Additionally, Nixxes was made aware of other bugs that can occur during the photo-op missions in Spider-Man 2. “We are aware of a bug that can occur if your framerate is very low during this scene (below 20 FPS). As a workaround, try lowering your graphics settings and or resolution to pass this point.” Sayem is a freelancer based in the ***, covering tech & hardware.
