An average playthrough of the 2015 RPG, one that includes the completion of most side-quests and a decent amount of time spent constructing a base, should take users around 50 hours, yet most enthusiasts will say that's a drop in the ocean. With the addition of mods, players can easily spend years exploring the world and collecting every stray item they discover. View the full article

Sonic X Shadow Generations has confirmed another legacy skin for the game, with this skin being an unexpected reference to Sonic Jam. Sonic X Shadow Generations has been generating a lot of buzz around the Sonic fandom in the past year, not only for being a remaster of the original game, but also for having a separate story campaign starring Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow's presence in the game has been the most widely talked about part of this updated re-release, as one of the character's most personal enemies, ****** *****, has somehow made a return after his first and only appearance in Shadow's spin-off game.

Team Fortress 2 has recently taken some serious body blows to its reputation. Thanks to a huge influx of bots disrupting the game, its Steam review score has plummeted into the "Overwhelmingly Negative" category. Even a recent ban wave aimed at purging some of these botting accounts seems to have had little effect on the game's poor sentiment. Now, with some of the poorest timing I've ever seen, a new Team Fortress 2 collaboration has been announced - with upcoming action game Funko Fusion. Read the rest of the story...

Arkane Studios is a developer responsible for some of the biggest names in PC gaming. Dishonored, Prey, and Deathloop all come from the veteran studio, but there are a few games among its roster that have been all but forgotten. Arx Fatalis is where it all started back in 2002 and despite reviewing well, it wasn't a huge hit. Some fans have never given up on it, however, with a planned remaster and overhaul mod in the works for the game. Unfortunately it's all hit a bump in the road, with the mod being indefinitely delayed. Read the rest of the story...

If you think your internet speed is fast, it pales in comparison to what has been achieved by a research team in Japan. Hailing from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, this team just used standard fiber optic cables to produce a speed so astounding that it genuinely seems unbelievable. Even if you had the best gaming router, there is no way to make commercial use of the 402 million Mbps, or 402Tbps, achieved by these engineers. We've come a long way since the days of dial-up, but we're not quite ready for what this team has accomplished. Read the rest of the story...

The Elden Ring community's favorite folk hero, Let Me Solo Her, has finally completed the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, after a streaming marathon spanning multiple days during which he struggled repeatedly against the DLC's final boss. Warning: Spoilers for the ending of Shadow of the Erdtree follow below! The Final boss is kicking my ***** rn [Hidden Content] — Let me solo her (@TsuboiKlein) June 29, 2024 Tsuboi Klein, also known as Let Me Solo Her, has been steadily working his way through the new Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree with the rest of us. Just yesterday, he finally crossed the finish line, defeating Promised Consort Radahn live on stream after something in the vicinity of 74 attempts. Despite being thought of as something of an Elden Ring expert, Let Me Solo Her really struggled with the second coming of Radahn, only defeating him after several hours of attempts spaced out over two days. "Holy *****, my fingers are actually trembling right now," he said upon victory. "I'm shaking." Let Me Solo Her rose to notoriety by offering his summon sign to players struggling to beat the most difficult boss in the base game, Malenia. Wearing nothing more than a **** on his head, Let Me Solo Her has defeated Malenia hundreds of times now on behalf of others. While it might be natural to expect him to breeze through the DLC with skills like that, it's worth noting that Let Me Solo Her got so good at Malenia by practicing her ****** a lot. It took him over 200 attempts just to beat her the first time. So it's only natural he'd get good at Radahn with practice, too. So is Let Me Solo Her going to master Radahn and help others defeat him now? Probably not just yet. Let Me Solo Her acknowledged at the end of his stream that he had somewhat beelined his way to Radahn and hadn't finished a lot of the other DLC boss fights, so he wants to go back and wrap things up first. He also wants to enjoy the DLC a bit off-stream, too, just for himself. Additionally, he's already been spending his time helping others beat Messmer, another story-required boss ****** that many are struggling with. He's even technically rebranded as "Let Me Solo Him" just for that ******. Let Me Solo Her will continue to assist other players with Messmer for a bit longer, he says, before moving on to helping people with Radahn. I BEAT THE FINAL BOSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO [Hidden Content] — Let me solo her (@TsuboiKlein) June 29, 2024 We interviewed Let Me Solo Her two years ago during the height of his fame, and can confirm that he's delightful not just in battle against Malenia and Radahn, but also to speak with. And we caught up with him again ahead of the release of Shadow of the Erdtree to hear his plans for exploring the Land of Shadow. Sounds like that's going great for him.

Even after the 2.0 patch brought Cyberpunk 2077 its own little renaissance, Night City's inhabitants have always left the megacity feeling a little lifeless.

Sure, basic nudity might not chart very highly compared to the daily grotesqueries of living in a dystopian future, but you'd think seeing V leap through traffic while hanging hog would get somebody's attention.
