What are the Doom: The Dark Ages system requirements? With perhaps the most famous and revered PC gaming classic returning five years after the superb Doom Eternal, fans of the series might be concerned to learn that Doom: The Dark Ages comes with some surprisingly tough system requirements. If you're rocking hardware that's more than six years old, an upgrade might be on the cards. As befits a stalwart of the PC gaming world, the Doom: The Dark Ages system requirements are detailed, with developer, id, breaking down the specs into minimum, recommended, and ultra/4K listings, plus it notes the user experience you should expect for each of these settings, in terms of resolution and frame rate. Detail is also provided about the overall CPU and GPU specs, as well as specific examples of options that fit those requirements. However, with relatively demanding specs, an upgrade to one of the best graphics card options you can buy now, as well as the best gaming CPU you can afford might be required.

Aside from performing the occasional mildly infuriating emote after eliminating an opponent, there aren’t many ways players can be toxic in Fortnite. The classic mocking emotes Take The L and the donkey braying Laugh It Up annoy most players, but what other toxic traits do Fortnite players have? Players have been owning up to what they believe are toxic traits after one player posted a video showing how they like to inconvenience others in Fortnite. Their reasoning is, “If I don’t need it, no one does!” The video shows the player with full health and shield, breaking down a Slurp Truck despite not needing any HP boost at all. The truck is full of Slurp and can usually restore a player’s health and shield simultaneously, so destroying it when you don’t need any is, at the very least, petty. View the full article

As a fan of Obsidian’s RPGs, I’m excited about Avowed, but I’m also a little nervous about it repeating a similar mistake as the Fallout series. Although the go-to comparison for Avowed seems to be the Elder Scrolls series, as both are first-person fantasy games, I’m more reminded of Fallout due to the similar origins of both games. And, while I don’t dislike modern Fallout games, there are some issues I have with Bethesda’s direction for the series that I wouldn’t want to see Obsidian repeat. View the full article

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has said his previous comments on the nature of Cloud and Aerith's relationship were misinterpreted and that no member of Square Enix will comment officially on the character's relationship. A December interview with Inverse quoted Hamaguchi as saying "Aerith has always been this sort of sisterly character pulling Cloud along and encouraging him," leading many fans to complain or question the director about the true nature of their relationship. Final Fantasy 7, both the original and the first two games in its Remake Trilogy, has always portrayed Cloud's relationship with Aerith and Tifa rather vaguely. Player choice can influence their interactions, prompting things like a date with different characters depending on how the player, as Cloud, treats them. The "canon" relationship has long been debated. Fans were therefore shocked when Hamaguchi appeared to have essentially dismissed Aerith as a romantic partner in his comments, though he has now told Automaton this was a misinterpretation and that he, nor anyone at Square Enix, would convey the nature of their characters' relationships beyond the game itself. "As creators, we will continue to convey [the relationships between our characters] through our content," Hamagucho said. "For example, no one will make any official statements about who Cloud likes, who Aerith likes, and so on." He added that the misunderstanding may have come from subtle differences in language and culture between his native Japanese and the article's publication in English. This all comes as the modern retelling of Final Fantasy 7 hasn't concluded yet. More answers, or more questions, could emerge in the third and final part of the Remake Trilogy, though fans will be waiting a while for them as Square Enix doesn't hope to release it until 2027 at the earliest. The story has now been wrapped up internally though, and Final Fantasy series producer Yoshinori Kitase previously said he's "sure fans will be satisfied with the final chapter." In our 9/10 review of the last game, IGN said: "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action role playing game full of exciting challenges and an awe inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long."

Necesse is having a free-to-play weekend on Steam, attracting many players from the 2019 Terraria-like classic. However, people are stuck trying to figure out which key does what. Rotating is a problem many new players have, as the usual keys that rotating are assigned to, like Q, E, Shift, and others, don’t seem to do anything in this game. That’s because there is a very unusual way to rotate your objects, items, and other trinkets that you won’t think of if you’re standing still all the time. View the full article

Electronic Arts shares declined by more than 16% this week, or $6 billion in market value, following its pre-earnings announcement that FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard has failed to meet its expectations. On Wednesday, EA warned the market that it now expects a decline in its live service revenue for its current fiscal year, after previously forecasting growth. Primarily, the decline was attributed to an FC 25 “slowdown” during the Christmas *******. In addition, EA said that the BioWare RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard – released in October – has missed its expectations by around 50%, with 1.5 million “players” reached. Read More...
