In celebration of the upcoming Fallout Day, Bethesda has made Fallout 76 free to play from October 22-29, which along with the various news expected from this event, has many players excited. When it was first released, Fallout 76 had a bumpy start, as not every fan of the franchise received the title as well as expected. Luckily, many players agree that the course has been corrected over the years and the game is now seen much more positively. View the full article

Back in 2023, I discovered the irresistible gaming combo equivalent of chicken 'n' chips with a Coke—the Logitech G Pro Steering Wheel, a PS VR2 headset, and GT7. The TL;DR takeaway of my findings: it's a delicious union of expert peripheral craftsmanship, white knuckle force feedback, and heightened sense of there-ness I've been happily consuming on a daily basis. (Mostly because I'm addicted to Polyphony Digital's circadian mileage bonuses.) After much waiting for Logitech to pull its finger out, we now have a new range of swappable wheels that have renewed my love for the G Pro ecosystem. Dubbed the RS Range, these premium clip-on / clip -off steering solutions provide a range of expected benefits—greater comfort, extra RGB flair, more ideal form factors, etc. But also, to my sheer and utter delight, some huge advantages in cross-platform compatibility. If you know which specific pieces to buy, you can effectively turn what was once a PC / PlayStation 5 only Wheel Base into a Franken-peripheral that supports the holy trinity of Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC. To say I'm pleased with that turn of events would be quite the understatement; it's a game-changing feature that lurches Logitech ahead in the (now) highly competitive space of DD wheels. We'll drill down on the details of that in a second. For now, though, let's address the barrier of entry that may cause some of you to reach for your reverse gear: price. You can, of course, skip the window shopping by clicking here to jump right to my words instead. Our Logitech G Pro Setup The RS Wheel Hub & Round Wheel So, let's assess the largest bit of our new test bed first—the Round Wheel. What we're bolting on here is a 291 mm wheel that's a jack-of-all-trades—perfect for hand-over-hand drifting, rallying, GT, and/or Formula racing, which makes me prefer it over the slightly less adaptable default G Pro wheel. Thickness-wise, it's a 35mm grip all the way around; the wheel also weighs in at 662 g (before being bolted into 758 gs worth of Hub). That being the case, the old boy wheel was heavier at 1.5 kg and wasn't made with the RS's silcone leather, which, I think, finds a slightly better sweet spot of comfort and grippiness in your mitts. It also had a darker and more understated "centering band" compared to the much more preferred white strip on the RS. It's also worth noting that this young blood attachment will bolt into any platform RS Hub you choose via six bolts and an alan key. It feels as premium as its price—robust, rock solid, and still comfy after my standard Paris-Dakar endurance test. As for the RS Hub itself, like I said in the intro, I have a PS base but went with the Xbox variant, purely to iritate my whingy roomate, whose brain can't easily switch from one "X button" position to another. Much like the Round Wheel component, there have been some worthy upgrades to this wheel face. The most visually obvious is the inclusion of a rainbow-tastic LED rev light and the ability to adjust or remove the gear paddles. Speaking of inputs, it's worth noting that the original G Pro wheel only had ten face buttons; the RS Hub sprinkles on two more (to provide for your rightstick/leftstick functions). I also appreciate that the two new rotary wheels are identical, as I prefer the underslung setup as opposed to one forward-facing one jutting out. Technically speaking, the RS Hub uses the same quick-release system as before—albeit with some extra squeezing required to attach now—though I didn't detect that change introducing any additional flex or other drawbacks. Before I head off more laps with this brilliant wheel, I should probably talk about the road I needed to travel in order to achieve triple-compatibility. For starters, if you're a purebred console gamer who's never plugged your Logitech G Pro into a PC before, you're gonna need to find a way to do it. My RS Hub refused to be recognised by my Xbox SX / PC/ PS5 without a new firmware update to both the original G Pro Wheel Base and the Hub. Once that pain-free, five-minute process is done, magic is allowed to happen. With a wheel bristling with A, B, Y, and X in a different position, plus a ******* big Xbox logo at centre stage, I went ******** around in Gran Turismo 7, and then, after a quick unplug/replug, some laps of Forza Motorsport. Flawless stuff. Zero problems. Great force feedback. I must say, as an owner of all the major DD wheels on the market—Thrustmaster, Moza, etc—having "one wheel to rule them all" is a very attractive feature. DD wheels are heavy and cumbersome to move on and off any table or racing cockpit frame. And the hassle is exacerbated by some brands not being universal with drill holes / screws / clamps. Basically, I can see my Logitech G Pro is going to get much, much more track time than it ordinarily would thanks to sheer convenience alone.

Forgotten Souls are a new crafting material in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred DLC.

However, there has been some frustration from players regarding how these are farmed, so you will want to know the best ways to get them as fast as possible. View the full article

Zorba is an annoying boss in Metaphor: ReFantazio. This is because Zorba is a necromancer and relies on that ability throughout his entire ******. The issue is that his undead army seems easy but can quickly overwhelm any players who are not prepared. Every time you beat his corpses, he'll raise more; while you're fighting corpses, he deals strong attacks. It seems like it cannot be beaten unless you're at a far higher level than him, but it's easier than it looks.

With its gothic atmosphere, intricate narrative, and rewarding gameplay, Diablo 4 has captivated players since its release.

This marks a bold leap towards the competitive scene by adding new layers of tension and strategy never before witnessed in the Diablo franchise. This update creates a more dynamic and cutthroat experience, ultimately changing how players engage with PvP. View the full article

Mass Effect: Andromeda was released in 2017, and I played it at launch. Like many people, I wasn't thrilled about my first experiences, and I ended up quitting the game before I completed it. A big part of why I quit was the countless bugs and glitches I encountered that often made sections unnecessarily frustrating, or even seemingly impossible to complete. However, now that I'm ready to give the game another chance after 7 years, it's sad to realize that Andromeda won't be able to reach its full potential. View the full article

Thanks to international Fallout Day, now's the time to V.A.T.S. target some serious savings of up to 75%. Failing that, I have an update on my Batman: Arkham Shadow situation from yesterday—got it, clocked it, and loved it. I probably wouldn't buy a Meta Quest 3 specifically for it, though it'd totally be in my first three game purchases. More pricings, and my full list is here. In retro news, I'm getting my Charizard to light a 26-candle birthday cake for Pokémon Red and Blue. These came out right when I started a job in gaming retail. Vividly, I recall picking up a loose cartridge and uttering the fateful words, "Oh, this is that game all of Japan seems to be hooked on...but why?" The next week is an 8-bit blur of me almost getting fired for not serving customers because I had my eyes locked on a Game Boy or my nose ******* in the Official Guide.

The Elder Scrolls 6 has a lot of expectations, especially since Bethesda announced it far too early and then Microsoft went and bought the developer for a ridiculous sum of money. Naturally, this has fans speculating wildly about what kind of features it will include and how it will be better than Bethesda's current offerings. However, while it would be great to see TES6 include the wealth of improvements seen across other triple-A titles, there is one area it needs to nail above all else. View the full article
