These skins are usually characters known from single-player campaigns, like Frank Woods, the face of the ****** Ops franchise. Not every operator is available from the get-go. In fact, there are different criteria for unlocking them while playing ****** Ops 6. View the full article

Ubisoft Montpellier's Beyond Good And Evil 2 has been delayed so much that it has transcended the label of "vapourware", while staunchly refusing to become "abandonware". Announced in 2008, it has now comfortably outstripped Duke Nukem Forever as the "triple-A" game with the longest development time. I'm sure there are a few indie passion projects that have been bubbling away in the shadows for longer, but nothing on this scale. What's less tangible than vapour? Ectoplasm? The promises of small children? Read more View the full article

What are the Dragon Age The Veilguard romance options? Half the fun of a new Dragon Age is deciding which character will be your latest beau, and we're already lining up our prospects. Veilguard director Corinne Busche confirms that some romances "are more spicy than others," so it's not necessarily just a case of deciding which digital dolls you want to smush together in Bioware's RPG (though, we'll admit, it is a bit of that). Each Veilguard romance offers a new facet of love, adding variability to each playthrough. You can strike up a romance with any of the seven Dragon Age The Veilguard companions you meet in the RPG game. Unlike previous installments, all companions are pansexual, meaning you can successfully pursue a romance with any of them in Dragon Age The Veilguard regardless of your Rook's gender or sexuality. However, they aren't strictly "playersexual." Companions can become romantically aligned with each other if you decide not to pursue them, so don't wait too long to choose your perfect love match; they might find their happily ever after elsewhere.

Ubisoft has released Star Wars Outlaws Title Update 1.3.0, which makes a number of significant changes to the game. The patch, available across all platforms, focuses on improving Outlaws’ much-maligned stealth “to give players more flexibility in how they approach situations,” Ubisoft said. It also tunes ****** AI (another aspect of the game that came under *****) and speeder travel. The patch notes, courtesy of Ubisoft’s website, are below. Ubisoft added that it’s aware of an ongoing issue affecting PC players after the 24H2 Windows Update, and is working to fix it. Elsewhere, Ubisoft has created a dedicated Bug Reporter tool where players can report issues and track their status, in a bid to “improve transparency and communication.” Star Wars Outlaws has struggled since its launch in August, with Ubisoft admitting sales ******* to meet expectations. Developer Ubisoft Massive has said it’s committed to improving the game, however, with more patches planned in the run up to the crucial Christmas sales *******. Update 4 will arrive on November 21, featuring further combat and stealth improvements as well as free additional contracts. The upcoming story DLC, Wild Card, will "see Kay and Nix infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament where they will face off against the legendary Lando Calrissian." It comes amid a shakeup at Ubisoft following the collapse of the company’s share price and Outlaws’ aforementioned poor sales. Ubisoft has returned to Steam (Outlaws hits Valve’s platform on November 21) after years of Epic Games Store exclusivity on PC, delayed *********’s Creed Shadows into next year, and is reportedly considering partnering with Tencent to take the company private.

With the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Update 4.1, the community is rallying against “gatekeepers” who have called on developer Saber Interactive to retire a reward given only to those who complete all PvE missions on the hardest difficulty. Update 4.1, out now, follows hot on the heels of last week’s controversial Update 4.0, widely criticized by Space Marine 2 fans for making the game significantly *******. The backlash to Update 4.0 even spread to Space Marine 2’s Steam page, where disgruntled players review-bombed the game. Update 4.0 added the Lethal difficulty to Space Marine 2’s PvE Operations mode, and with it exclusive rewards. One of these rewards, the Survivor’s Helm, is highly coveted by the community because all PvE missions must be completed on Lethal to unlock it. Completed all Lethal difficulty missions and this is the cosmetic helmet you get. byu/MrCha0s1 inSpacemarine .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } Before today's release of Update 4.1, Lethal difficulty was not only brutally hard, but unfairly so. It included the universally hated 'Tight Formation' system, which forced players to stick close together in an almost impossible fashion. Update 4.1 has stripped this mechanic out from Lethal mode entirely, with developer Saber admitting its mistake. The rollback has caused some players who own the Survivor’s Helm to not only “act superior” online because they obtained it when Space Marine 2 was at its hardest, but to demand Saber now retire it or prevent it from displaying on characters who obtain it post 4.1. Some have even asked for yet another reward exclusive to those who completed a Lethal Operation on 4.0. The Space Marine 2 community accused one player who said those who get the helmet post-4.1 “don’t deserve it” of “gatekeeping.” “As someone who already has the helmet, who cares if people know?” said redditor veqtro. “I know I got it before the patch and that's all that matters. I'm proud of myself and I don't need others to be proud of me. Everyone deserves the chance to earn it.” “It's literally just a helmet in a game,” added Bantabury97. “You can be proud of your achievement but to act superior because of it is just sad. One day, this game will be offline, and your achievement will be lost to time. Worthless. Nothing to show for it. It carries no weight nor worth. If you come here to say you got it, great man, good for you for beating the challenge. But if you come here to dunk on others for NOT getting it, then you're part of the problem and need to go outside and touch grass.” “Anyone who says this should automatically have their precious helmet turned into a Leandros face,” joked kidmeatball. You can be proud of your achievement but to act superior because of it is just sad. One of the (many) silly things about gatekeeping this Space Marine 2 helmet is that it might have been obtained by cheesing the Bio-Titan boss on the new PvE map, as one player managed to do solo on Lethal. This isn’t the first time a video game community has rallied against gatekeeping of virtual items and it won't be the last. Indeed the communities for FromSoftware’s infamously hard action games often deal with gatekeeping around how the likes of Dark Souls and Elden Ring are “meant to be played.” Meanwhile, most Space Marine 2 players are excited to jump back in now the game is less stressful across all difficulties, and Bolters have finally been given a buff. IGN has plenty more on Space Marine 2, including a deep-***** on the game’s burgeoning modding scene and accompanying complications. Last month, Saber Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits told IGN how the breakout success of Space Marine 2 had “changed everything” for the company. And eagle-eyed fans have spotted the Space Marine chapter now all-but confirmed to get a cosmetic pack after the Dark Angels, and even an unannounced new Thousand Sons ****** type.
