For those jumping in for the first time, there’s a lot to cover, but god Aspects are an interesting feature added prior to the beta release.

You might want to activate an Aspect depending on the character you’ve chosen, the role you’re playing, and what your team needs from you.

There are many capable fighters to test your combat prowess in Dynasty Warriors Origins, but none are more foreboding than fighting Lu Bu, the greatest fighter of the land, at Hulao Gate.

Unlike one later battle where you must rescue Sun Jian from an untimely demise, it is entirely possible to beat Lu Bu during this battle on your first playthrough. However, you’ll need to master parrying, dodging, and countering with your skills to whittle down his shields effectively and halt his advance for good. View the full article

A quick one: Firaxis have confirmed that Civilization 7 will be Steam Deck verified at launch. It's a pleasant surprise, given that 2016's Civ 6 is still only listed as "playable" on Valve's oversized Switch. I like this news about as much as I'm terrified to realise that Civ 7 is just under a month away. I do not need that much strategy game, this early in the year. But hey, at least I'll be able to play the new 4X in bed as Sid Meier intended. Read more View the full article
Successful bunny hopping in CS:GO was the quintessential sign that someone knew their movement, and in CS2, it’s no different. Learning how to bunny hop in CS2 won’t be too difficult to do, but mastering it consistently is a whole other challenge. Players who’ve been around the block in Counter-Strike have likely seen someone b-hopping in their matchmaking games. It’s useful to spend the majority of warmup sessions practicing your b-hops from one area to another. View the full article

New Marvel Rivals character the Invisible Woman is proving useful when it comes to detecting what fans believe are bot enemies in their lobbies. Bots are an issue Marvel Rivals fans have obsessed over for weeks, with many believing that developer NetEase Games may be pitting them against low-level AI opponents to help keep players engaged. Discussion on this topic has only ramped up since Season 1 introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, but the hero additions brought more than changes to the current meta. As players began to tap into what made these new Fantastic Four characters tick, Reddit user barky1616 shared a video showing an off-the-wall use for Invisible Woman’s trademark ability. The clip shows Sue Storm turning invisible and, somehow, blocking the path of half of the enemy team by simply standing in front of them. They don’t try to walk around or fight her until she is booted out of invisibility mode, at which point the battle continues as you’d expect. It’s a bizarre video that many are using as additional evidence to suggest that bots are quickly becoming a ******* issue for Marvel Rivals. Invisible Woman Hidden OP New Tech Discovered byu/barky1616 inmarvelrivals .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } The idea is that, because the other team is supposedly made up of bots, they are unable to realize their path is blocked by this new hero. Your results may vary if you choose to try this Invisible Woman trick on your own, but it’s still a strange clip that has the community scratching their heads at best and fearing a more substantial bot problem at worst. Without confirmation from NetEase, it’s unclear if AI enemies are truly sneaking their way into Marvel Rivals matches or if there’s something else going on. IGN has reached out to NetEase about the alleged existence of bots in Marvel Rivals. In between what many are referring to as bot matches, players are continuing to enjoy the content drop delivered with Season 1. While this first wave of the season brought half the Fantastic Four as playable characters, the second half arrives with The Thing and the Human Torch. While we wait to see how these Marvel icons fare in the hero shooter setting, you can read up on every major balance change introduced last Friday. You can also read up on how players are responding to NetEase’s crackdown on mods and why some are having trouble taking Reed Richards seriously. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN. He started writing in the industry in 2017 and is best known for his work at outlets such as The Pitch, The Escapist, OnlySP, and Gameranx. Be sure to give him a follow on Twitter @MikeCripe.
