Now, in rolls **** of War Ragnarok, and while the launch has done well, it's not hit nearly the same heights as Sony Santa Monica's first game in the Norse duology.

It appears that the entirety of Astralis’ roster caught the devastating br0vid, as the team’s fall season opened with disaster and a 13-0 loss to Team Vitality. The match also marked the debut of cadiaN, Astralis’ new IGL, who ended the game with a meager 32 ADR. The match was part of the BLAST Premier Fall Final Group B and Astralis chose the map, Inferno, where it had made a name for itself several years ago. It was the first chance for Casper “cadiaN” Møller, the new Astralis IGL who joined the org on Sept. 17 as a replacement for br0, to prove himself as a capable leader who can take the struggling team to new heights on the professional CS2 scene. However, his and Astralis’ hopes were crushed by a stellar performance on the Team Vitality side, especially ZywoO, who even managed a stellar 1v4 defense on the A site in the fourth round of the match.

Amiibo is back in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. But unlike in previous Zelda titles, the extra offerings are a bit meh in comparison. While you can use certain amiibo, you can only use select amiibo figures and don’t unlock the option to use amiibo right away at the beginning of the game. You’ll need to wait a while, and honestly, in our opinion, there’s no real reason to use them at all outside of a few cool bonuses. View the full article
Enlarge / Meta's Mark Zuckerberg announces the Meta Quest 3 headset. (credit: Meta) [/url] At a Connect conference keynote today, Meta officially unveiled the Quest 3S headset, a cheaper version of last year's Quest 3. The new spin-off device will be available in stores Oct. 15 for a price starting at $300 (for 128GB of storage). That lower price for the Quest 3S comes with a few compromises compared to its predecessor. The biggest is the display, which mirrors the Quest 2's use of fresnel lenses, a downgrade from the pancake lenses on the Quest 3 which "allowed for improved clarity and less bulky lens housing." Internally, the Quest 3S sports the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR Gen 2 processor as the Quest 3, meaning it should be able to run all the same games and programs. The new headset also uses the same hand-tracking Touch Plus controllers, which are included in the $300 package alongside a code for next month's Batman: Arkham Shadow. A $400 package with 256 GB of internal storage is also available. Read 2 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article

The release of **** of War Ragnarök on PC hasn’t been all that easy, with many bemoaning the technical issues and steep requirements needed to run the game. But the most unpopular requirement is that you have to have a PlayStation Network account in order to play. This has led to the game getting several mixed reviews on Steam simply because of the PSN backlash, and some players taking matters into their own hands to find some workarounds. One player by the name of iArtorias created a mod that allowed people to bypass the PSN requirement, and even vowed to keep the mod online as long as possible. However, an update by Nexus mods seems to have dashed any hopes of that, as the site tweeted a message stating that the PSN-bypass mod was removed by the author and that the site was working on contacting them to figure out why.
