Dragon Age: The Veilguard's launch has already made it EA's biggest ever single-player game on Steam, topping the charts and beating out the concurrents for 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. At the time of publication, Dragon Age: The Veilguard's peak was about 70,414 concurrents, putting it just outside the top 10 most played games on the platform with mostly positive reviews. It sits one spot ahead of Baldur's Gate 3, which continues to enjoy ongoing success thanks to the introduction of mods and other new features. EA previous high watermark was Jedi Survivor, which managed an all-time peak of 67,855. EA CEO Andrew Wilson predicted success for Dragon Age during Tuesday's earnings call, saying that BioWare had "returned to its strengths," and that it would be benefit from limited competition thanks to Ubisoft's decision to delay *********'s Creed Shadows. We wrote in our own review, "Dragon Age: The Veilguard refreshes and reinvigorates a storied series that stumbled through its middle years, and leaves no doubt that it deserves its place in the RPG pantheon. The next Mass Effect is going to have a very tough act to follow, which is not something I ever imagined I'd be saying before I got swept away on this adventure." Overall it's a solid start for BioWare's new RPG given that it launched on a day when most of its fans are either at work or in school. It'll be worth keeping an eye on its performance heading into its first full weekend as players properly dig into the first new Dragon Age release since 2014.

Unlocking resources and tracking materials is a large part of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These become available as you steadily progress through the game and open up additional locations to explore throughout the campaign. Because of the amount of materials you can find throughout Thedas, keeping track of them all can be a chore. It’s even more challenging to know where you have to go to track them down. If you’re on the hunt for a particular one to upgrade your equipment, knowing where to go or how you might find it can make it easier to increase your party’s strength and your character’s gear. Here’s what you need to know about all materials and how to get them in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. View the full article
The type of character you want to play in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a difficult choice to make. Not only do you have to think about your character’s appearance, but you need to think about what type of class you want to play. There are three choices to pick from, but they each have a specialization and playstyle that differs from the other. Even if you’ve played a Dragon Age game before, these three characters are starkly different from the ones in previous games. They still have the same roles, and general structure, but there are specific changes that make them feel different. You’ll want to consider these options before you commit to this choice.

Ark: Survival Ascended has revealed its Halloween plans for 2024, including the horror-themed ***** Ascended event and a terrifying new tame.

Although Halloween events became pretty standard fare for Survival Evolved by the end of its run, these seasonal celebrations, not unlike much of Survival Evolved's DLC, had yet to make it into the enhanced remake - until now.

Sleek leather and oversized seats are probably the first things that come to mind when you bring up the term “gaming chair,” but if you want real comfort during long hours of gaming, nothing will keep you cool like a good mesh chair.

You might think that since Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 (which was released last Friday) is the 21st game in the franchise, it wouldn't be that highly anticipated. You'd be wrong. Last week's entry set multiple records when it launched. Specifically, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the game set new records for Game Pass subscribers, particularly for a first-day game launch. That's, of course, to be expected—Call of Duty was a major reason why Microsoft acquired Activision, the longtime publisher of the series. It gets a little zanier, though. The Internet service provider Comcast says ****** Ops 6 was directly responsible for 19 percent of its overall traffic the week of the launch, according to a report in The Verge.

Another day, another update from the Apex Legends security team about the ****** against hackers. It’s a never-ending struggle for the battle royale, and the latest change from the devs at Respawn is decidedly bad news for Linux users. In an attempt to help further stamp out the game’s cheating problem, Respawn is making Apex unavailable to play on Linux operating systems completely. This comes with the knock-on effect of also making it much ******* to play the game on Steam Deck, since the device uses Linux to run by default. Steam Deck users can download Windows for the device, which would make it still possible—but playing a game as intensive as Apex on Steam Deck was already a chore, and anyone using the device likely won’t bother. In a short post on the subject, the security team said Linux OS was “identified as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats.” The team decided the best way to deal with these cheats was to remove access to the game for Linux users altogether.

Two of the most callous races from Dungeons and Dragons that made it into Baldur's Gate 3 are the ever-popular drow and the astral-exploring githyanki. Both have been faithfully adapted, and although the gith get a starring role thanks to the abrasive Lae'zel and a plot based around their conflict with the mind flayers, the drow get some decent exposure too. Minthara is a potential ally, despite not being a mascot or an Origin Character like Lae'zel. View the full article

There are six factions to join in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and the choice is made during character creation, making it a part of Rooks overall story. Some of them include long-running organizations from the Dragon Age franchise, like the Grey Wardens and Antivan Crows. Others are from expanded media, such as books and comics, and are making their debut in a full game. This gives Rook an expanded outlook that may have been missing from past heroes like the Herald of Andraste and Champion of Kirkwall. View the full article
The House of the ***** will be the latest video game to head to the big screen, and it's got a seasoned adaptation director at the helm. Per a Deadline report on Thursday, Paul W.S. Anderson will write and direct the big-screen version of The House of the *****, the ***** horror shooter series. He'll also be producing alongside his longtime creative partner Jeremy Bolt. And it seems Anderson just can't stay away from this genre, with The House of the ***** marking his fourth adaptation of a video game property. Previously, Anderson directed Mortal Kombat (1995), Resident Evil (2002), and most recently Monster Hunter (2020). Anderson also gave an interview to Deadline where he gave a quick glimpse as to how he'll be approaching this adaptation, revealing that he'll be basing it on the story of The House of the ***** 3. "If you know the mythology, that is all about family conflict, amidst the action and scares," he told the outlet. "It’s about a woman, Lisa Rogan, who’s attempting to rescue her father," he explained. "And it’s also about Daniel Curien, who’s the son of the man who caused this mutant outbreak in the first place and who has to deal with the sins of the father." Anderson added he's been a fan of The House of the ***** games since the '90s, which is when the ***** series kicked off. It became known not only for its use of the light ****, but for its different take on the zombie genre, featuring fast-moving creatures. "This is a full-on ******* ride. It’s different than what we did with Resident Evil, where there were lots of traps and puzzles." “My approach will be to reflect what this hyper-immersive, kinetic video game is, which is why Zack Snyder took these creatures and made them fast moving (in 2004's Dawn of the *****),” Anderson said. “This is a full-on ******* ride. It’s different than what we did with Resident Evil, where there were lots of traps and puzzles and things to be figured out. House of the ***** is at heart a light rail shooter game, so it drags you straight into the middle of the action. I’m going to make a movie that mirrors that approach and plays out in real time, dragging the audience straight into the action." It's only the latest big-screen take on a ***** game, with the Sonic the Hedgehog movies continuing to move along with Paramount Pictures. And just earlier this month, ***** announced a film adaptation of its Shinobi movies at Universal. Interestingly, the Deadline report notes that ***** has been protective of The House of the ***** IP. However, Toru Nakahara, *****'s Head of Production for Movies/TV, tells the outlet that the Sonic films "changed the dynamic toward our transmedia policies and since then we’ve been actively developing a lot of productions, looking at it as an initiative to expand the whole ***** brand." Further details, including a cast or release window, are still pending. For more on the series, check out our review of the 2022 House of the ***** remake, where we said it "can be an enjoyable return to the classic arcade rail shooter, but performance hiccups and frustrating controls are scarier enemies than the zombies themselves."

Here at PC Gamer, we're willing to admit our admiration for those who can maintain a personal grudge for a decade or more. It's a rare dedication to the art of being a hater; keeping your contempt at a steady simmer for that long takes a lot of discipline. I'm not talking about the kind of curmudgeon who deals in cheap dunks. I'm talking about those who write negative Steam reviews after collecting 8,000 hours of evidence, or—in the case of Alien Isolation modder Matt Filer—publish mods for a 10-year old game just to mock its reviews from 2014...
