Devout Baldur's Gate 3 players are likely very familiar with the unfortunate story of Bing ***** so those who want to give the beloved imp a second chance can now do so with this improved mod. While he may not be a character that actually appears in Larian Studios' RPG, Bing ***** has become somewhat of an unofficial mascot for Baldur's Gate 3 thanks to a memorable performance by the game's cast during an actual-play Dungeons & Dragons performance before launch. His fate may have been tragic, but fans have never forgotten him. View the full article

The Shadow Cursed Lands are home to many different quests in Baldur’s Gate 3. But one of the strangest inhabitants of the area is a child named Oliver—and you’ll have to beat him in a classic game of hide and seek to earn a powerful reward. Oliver can be found on the northeastern side of the Shadow Cursed Lands inside a ruined house. When you first meet the young boy in BG3, it’ll be immediately apparent he’s not real and something has gone amiss. The boy doesn’t seem to notice, though, and simply wants somebody to play with. More specifically, Oliver wants you to play hide and seek with him. View the full article
Once Human players have scoured its map for Deviations to help them survive an apocalyptic wasteland, and it turns out one rare collectible, Hug-in-a-Bowl, is bugged. Finding Hug-in-a-Bowl is tricky. Though some had luck finding it during beta periods, many have been led to believe it has a low drop rate. Even thorough individuals have struggled to uncover it at its Iron River and Broken Delta spawn locations. Rare items are nothing new for multiplayer titles like Once Human, but this particular Deviation has caused enough problems among fans to become a talking point in Steam and Discord communities. It’s been an issue since Once Human 1.0 arrived earlier this month, but it turns out there’s a technical hiccup keeping it from more players’ hands. We asked Once Human developer Starry Studio about Hug-in-a-Bowl and whether it was indeed a rare drop. The team confirmed that the Deviation is bugged, and they say a fix will arrive in an upcoming patch. “The team completed the check and found out the spawn is actually bugged!” a representative for Once Human said. “They added it to their list of changes for the upcoming patch and will fix it.” When exactly Starry will be able to fix the Hug-in-a-Bowl bug is unclear, but we do know that a massive update is set to arrive sometime in September. The studio offered a peak at its plans last week, teasing new PvP and PvE scenarios, map additions, and more. Like any patch, Starry will surely fix a laundry list of glitches players have been dealing with, so let’s hope a Hug-in-a-Bowl fix drops, too. Once Human launched just a few weeks ago and has quickly become a favorite among PC players. We’re excited to see where it goes, as we liked it enough at launch to give it an 8/10 in our review. We said, “Once Human combines simple but solid building and upgrading with some of the best, and weirdest, creature designs of the year to create a very enjoyable survival-crafting experience.” Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

A PSVR2 app has appeared on Steam, with a release date set for August 6, 2024, hinting at imminent PC support. While little is known about how the app will work, and all we have is some screenshots of the setup process, it's an exciting time for virtual reality enthusiasts after a relatively quiet *******.

There are rules to Non-Lethal Attacks, though, and ramifications for leaving someone unconscious in the wilderness. View the full article

Throughout the years, the genre of strategy video games has grown and evolved, with many flocking to thought-intensive titles like Starcraft and Civilization to lose themselves in the challenges that are presented in the games. Strategy games have a way of being very cerebral experiences, demanding a level of focus and critical thinking that goes beyond the average shooter. They often have a focus on war, stemming from their roots as tabletop war games at military academies over the past several centuries. This isn't always the case, however, as is seen with the rise of factory-themed strategy games over the past few years. View the full article

Gale is one of the first companions we meet in our Baldur’s Gate 3 adventure. As a powerful Wizard, he’s a strong asset to our party, though he has a significant disadvantage: he needs to be fed magic items. He tells us about his unusual sickness shortly after he joins our party for the first time. We learn that if Gale doesn’t consume a magic item every once in a while, a great catastrophe will occur. While we don’t immediately learn what that catastrophe is exactly, it’s better to satisfy his craving when we can, though we know it can be tiresome and consuming—literally. View the full article
The Earth Defense Force 6 Steam launch has been a mixed success.
