Only a week after the last patch, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II is getting an emergency fix that rolls back the difficulty level of Operations to what they were before Patch 4.0. In a community post from Focus Entertainment, Game Director Dmitriy Grigorenko explains that Patch 3.0 had, according to their internal win rate numbers, made the game too easy, a sentiment echoed by the player base, so they set out to make it difficult again. The solution was to increase ****** spawn rates, but it had a cascading effect, not only impacting the brand-new Lethal difficulty, but all the way down to the lowest level, Operations were seeing significantly-increased spawn rates that caused the difficulty to ramp up. As of Patch 4.1, those values were all dropped to pre-Patch 4.0 levels. View the full article

Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 is following a recent trend by adding an arachophobia setting to Zombies, but its solution somehow seems even worse. As part of its blog detailing ****** Ops 6's various acccessibility features, Activision showed off its new arachnophobia mode, explaining, "For the first time in ****** Ops 6 Zombies, a new arachnophobia toggle feature will be available. This setting will allow players to change the appearance of spider-like enemies in Zombies without affecting their game play." The description is accompanied by a screenshot that shows a spider ****** crawling toward the player on one side, and what it looks like when the arachnophobia mode is turned on. It seems the toggle simply removes the spider creatures legs, turning it into a floating torso that resembles a flying leech with huge, spiky teeth. In a word, eww. But hey, at least it's not a spider, right? The new feature is part of ****** Ops 6's version of Zombies, the latest in a long line of games dating back to Call of Duty: World at War. You can check out our full Zombies preview right here. ****** Ops 6, meanwhile, releases October 25, but fans who use the New Zealand trick can gain access right now much earlier. Make sure to stay tuned for our full review. Kat Bailey is IGN's News Director as well as co-host of Nintendo Voice Chat. Have a tip? Send her a DM at @the_katbot. View the full article
Thank your own personal deity—possibly ****** *****—it's Friday! Let's round out your week with two free games worth adding to your pile of shame (NiGHTS and Moving Out). Also, I have the best prices for the behemoth in the room, Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 and an absolute ton of Yakuza titles. Whatever you choose, have a great weekend! In retro news, I'm baking a citrus-based cake for The Orange Box, one of the most value-filled compilations ever devised. We met when I was just a junior freelancer who'd drawn the short straw (because that particular magazine's stable of veteran reviewers looked at the slim deadline, then the five game to-do list, and went, "Nope"). Four sleepless nights later, I recall deliriously trying to tell anybody who'd listen that somehow an unassuming title named Portal was the best thing in this box of venerable Valve baddies. They thought me ****, right up until GLaDOS (and ***** about cake) took over the world. This Day in Gaming Aussie birthdays for notable games and hardware - ***** Rally (ARC) 1994.

One of my favorite things about Bethesda RPGs like Oblivion and Skyrim is that NPCs have lives of their own. Yes, technically, merchants have been brought into existence specifically to stand behind store counters and buy whatever garbage you've collected on your last quest, but these shopkeepers also close their stores at a certain time each night, go to the tavern, eat meals, talk with other characters, and sleep in their beds at night...

Ice Breaker is just one of many exotics from the original Destiny that have made their way into Destiny 2, and it returns with a brand-new catalyst that you'll need to unlock. Unless you run the dungeon within the first 48 hours of its release in Contest mode, the only way to get Ice Breaker is to run the dungeon until it drops, which might take a while. You can complete a few Triumphs to increase your drop chance, but other than that, there's no way to guarantee when you'll get it. View the full article
Shotguns in Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 gives a really unique playstyle for players. Using a shotgun feels a lot more powerful than using an SMG or ******** rifle. They're one of the most underrated weapons because they lack range and ***** rate. However, those who prefer close-quarters combat and aggressive engagements usually excel using shotguns. While their range is limited, they excel at delivering devastating, often one-shot ****** in close range. The high damage output makes them ideal for close-range skirmishes, especially in tight corridors, flanking maneuvers, or surprise encounters. View the full article
