One of the earliest decisions players will make in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is whether to help Zhorik deliver supplies to a group of his friends. Almost immediately after completing the tutorial, players will encounter a friendly NPC named Zhorik - although he appears to be hiding something. He asks you first to help out some friends of his at a nearby post office, which is under siege, and then directs you onward to his friend Gloomy, whom he hasn't heard from in a little while. He's starting to get worried. View the full article

Destiny 2 has plenty of activities for players, whether they’re chasing fashion, exploring a destination, or chasing a roll of their favorite *******. Despite its vast array of options, players can only ***** into Destiny 2 if the servers work. If the servers are facing outages or interruptions, you will see the classic “Server Offline” message when you try to log in—an indication that there’s something wrong with the servers.

There's a certain kind of profound confusion STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl inherits from the series' namesake, Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 film, Stalker. Both are heavily influenced by the 1972 novel Roadside Picnic, by the Strugatsky brothers. Despite and in light of their many differences and similarities, all three share one important facet: the Zone, a setting fundamentally incomprehensible to the human mind. Developer GSC Game World admirably and ambitiously brings this setting to life in STALKER 2, an open-world, survival-horror immersive sim. View the full article
Reviews for the game on Steam are currently labeled as “Overwhelmingly Negative.” | Image: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was released on PC and Xbox yesterday but early players have struggled to load or even finish installing the game. Users have reported a range of issues — including post-installation loads stalling before completion, long login queues, and the game itself crashing — with the $70 flying sim currently tagged as “Overwhelmingly Negative” in customer reviews on Steam. Some players are seeing their downloads freeze at 97 percent, while others were stuck on a login ****** page at launch for several hours that says “too many users are trying to connect at the same time.” Microsoft advised players to check the Xbox Support Status page for updates, which doesn’t list any ongoing issues with the game at the time of...

A vast and challenging open world sci-fi RPG from GSC Game World, it stands alone in its ambitious exploration of a perilous, ruined landscape plagued by greed and unflinching peril. A theme park to some and a fresh ***** for others, Stalker 2 excellently portrays the grim reality of trying to carve a life out of struggle, wrestling with the weird and the paranormal.

We’re probably all past "And in the game" jokes by now, but it is fitting that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart Of Chornobyl is about venturing into a shattered world and enduring the worst of its logic-defying hardships to find the treasures within. This is a bold, uncompromising survival FPS that can easily capture you for days on end – but I can’t invite you back into the Zone without hammering in a few hundred warning signs reading "DANGER: BUGS". In Ukrainian, obviously. Read more View the full article
There are very few online games that hold my attention anymore.

Enter Supervive, the all-new brawler MOBA hybrid from Theorycraft Games, a star-studded cast of former Riot devs. Blending fast-paced MOBA action with the drop and loot mechanics of battle royales like Apex Legends, it's become one of my most-wanted games of 2024 - and now it's back.

What are all the Stalker 2 artifacts? These radioactive items were once ordinary objects, but their exposure to anomalies within the Zone has imbued them with supernatural properties. Veteran stalkers will be well-versed in the power artifacts hold, but GSC Game World's sequel has plenty of new artifacts to collect and use. All artifacts have a chance to drop from Stalker 2 anomalies, though the one you receive is random, and often depends on their rarity. However, the benefits they provide are worth the risk. All artifacts in Stalker 2 provide an active effect and at least one passive effect. Some can drastically change how you navigate the open-world game, while others provide invaluable protection to explore even the most hazardous areas. Read the rest of the story...

Hearing a ballet of bullets dancing around me as I hide behind cardboard held up by reinforced cement happens far more often than I’d like in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It’s an unforgiving wasteland filled with mutants, bandits, and carefully constructed choices that can provide an easier—or more complicated—life than you already have to deal with. Still, the difficulty doesn’t keep me from playing. On the contrary, it encourages me to consider every time the footsteps or the idle chatter of bandits are nearby. Every engagement becomes a difficult challenge, with no way to improve with a specific skill tree, similar to many extraction shooters. Instead, STALKER 2 motivates me to improve myself by relying on risking it all to get new gear and using the experience I’ve built up along the way. View the full article

The hotly anticipated Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has endured a rough launch, with players reporting ridiculously long initial loading screens lasting in some cases for hours on end. Things are so bad that Asobo Studio’s full price flight sim, which Microsoft Game Studios published across PC and Xbox and straight into Game Pass yesterday, November 19, is now on an ‘overwhelmingly negative’ Steam user review rating. Even those who do manage to load into the game are having problems, with players reporting missing content. In a video message to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s disgruntled community, Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Sebastian Wloch, Asobo CEO and co-founder, explained why the launch had gone so badly wrong. Neumann began the video with an admission: “We knew the excitement was high for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but frankly we completely underestimated how high and it really has overwhelmed our infrastructure.” Frankly we completely underestimated how high [excitement was] and it really has overwhelmed our infrastructure Wloch then proceeded to go into more detail, revealing that even simulating 200,000 concurrent players during pre-release load tests ******* to prevent the launch from causing catastrophic server problems. “We've been struggling for a few hours with one of our services,” Wloch explained. “In Flight Sim 2024, there are a few new systems in the sim. People have noticed in the career mode there's all sorts of missions, and when players at the very beginning when they start, they're asking a server for some data, and that server is going to cache it in a database. It's a pretty big database and there is a cache, and that cache is currently getting saturated. “It's a cache that has been thoroughly tested during the whole Tech Alpha. We've done load tests simulating 200,000 users, and tonight it's just completely overwhelmed.” Wloch went on to explain what Asobo had done to try to fix the problems. “We've tried to restart the services,” he said. “We've taken measures to throttle the number of people who can come in at the same time. At some point it worked pretty well, so we increased the ****** speed by 5x. And it worked well for maybe half an hour or so and then all of a sudden the cache collapsed again. “So we're restarting, we're trying to investigate, doing our best and going as fast as we can to make sure everybody can go in.” Going into more detail, Wloch explained why Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 players are experiencing this eternal loading, and why when they do get into the game they’re not seeing everything as they should. “The issue that causes this is pretty much, when that service fails it restarts, it retries, it retries,” he said. “First of all, that creates extremely long initial loading, which is not supposed to be as long. And after a certain time it will fail. If the missing data is blocking, you will not finish the loading — stop at 97% — and get a message. That means you need to restart. “And if the content was not completely blocking you may enter the sim and then maybe there's a few planes missing, maybe there's some content missing, and that's all due to the same problem with that server and service.” The hope is that Asobo fixes this problem as soon as possible; Wloch said that once the server issues are sorted out players shouldn’t see the ****** screen they’re currently experiencing. “While it’s a great launch day, we know a lot of people are frustrated,” Neumann concluded. “We're really sorry. We want to apologize. We have some problems today. The team is on it, and we will keep going.” Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

On 11th October 2024, three video game studios announced themselves near-simultaneously as the creators of “spiritual successors” to ZA/UM’s mournful Marxist RPG Disco Elysium.
