Every game has a battle pass these days, and none more so than free-to-play games. However, if XDefiant can be enjoyed just as much without paying anything, is it worth spending money on a battle pass?Is the Battle Pass worth your money?There are two different types of Battle Pass you can buy. The cheapest comes in at 700 BP or around $7, and the upgraded version costs 1200 BP or $12. The cheaper option is simply the XDefiant battle pass alone which will require you to work your way up the ranks without any boosts. Paying that little bit more will result in 12 tier-skips, letting you get ahead of the game.Ubisoft has been very frank about their ‘Philosophy’ of not having any items paid to win. They have come right out and confessed that no matter how much you spend, you won’t be able to purchase items that will improve your chances over non Battle Pass players. All factions and boosts that can be bought with the in-game currency can also be earned in-game....View the full article

Gamers looking to jump into Ubisoft's IP mashup shooter XDefiant on launch day are struggling with the game's seemingly overloaded servers.

Enlarge / "Look, everybody! It's the one thing that ties the whole story together! And it's pointing us toward this legacy dungeon, inside which must surely lie safety and salvation. Let us go forth." (credit: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco) [/url] There are lots of ways to enjoy Elden Ring, beyond the core *******/dodge/survive gameplay. You can obsess over builds, appreciate the mastery of speedrunners and grand masters like Let Me Solo Her, or mix and match the huge variety of armor in pursuit of Fashion Souls. And then there is lore. There is so much of it, and most of it has the consistency of campfire smoke. Elden Ring tells its backstory (written in part by George R.R. Martin) primarily through item descriptions and environmental hints. The scraps of narrative that do exist stand unsteadily against unreliable narrators, contradictions, cut content, and lovably enthusiastic fans who take small hints to their illogical extremes. Developer FromSoftware and primary creator Hidetaka Miyazaki do almost nothing to disprove misunderstandings or reward accurate conclusions, although they appreciate the energy. Miyazaki will just casually tell IGN that there's a "small element" that hasn't been discovered, offer nothing more on that, and leave fans like me craven with an unmet need for conclusion. [Hidden Content] Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree story trailer. I love this and cherish the way FromSoftware will never in my lifetime confirm my hopes or expectations. So with the surprise arrival of an honest-to-goodness story-based trailer for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, due out June 21, I was given yet another feast of vague notions and evocative images.

Devs of the Modern Horizons 3 set in Magic: The Gathering have added Six as a Legendary Treefolk before the partnership with Wrenn. The MTG Planeswalker Wrenn was introduced through the first Modern Horizons set as Wrenn and Six. As a Dryad, Wrenn was able to bind with Treefolk. Six, the sixth Treefolk that Wrenn bonded with is from the plane of Kessig. Treefolk who bonded with Wrenn were never featured on their own MTG card, until the release of Modern Horizons 3, showcased through MH3 spoilers on May 21. The Legendary Treefolk were allowed to live out their days in peace per Wrenn, but until now, we have never seen Six portrayed before their bond to Wrenn. View the full article
Modern games have modern problems and XDefiant is a part of that rule. Just like all shooters that are free to play, you’re going to face issues. In XDefiant the many issues that are popping up might be fixed on your end like the Can’t find game error. However, some problems appear that look a little more complicated. This seems to be with Practice Zone in XDefiant, and you should read this guide to learn how to fix it. XDefiant: How to fix Practice ZoneAs soon as you load up XDefiant and try to find a game, you may be hit with the Playlist not found error, and then you’ll see the Practice Zone is grayed out.

Screenshot: PC InvasionThe reason behind this move is unknown since Ubisoft has made no statement. However, my theory is that the developer is waiting for the game to stabilize a lot more.

It may come as a surprise, but there are status ailments in XDefiant. Not only that, but they are also required to unlock some equipment. Let me show you how the system works and how to inflict Status Conditions in XDefiant.What is a Status Condition in XDefiant?There are several status conditions in XDefiant, which are usually inflicted with equipment. While most status conditions don’t deal damage, they typically give you the advantage in a gunfight. You can disorientate enemies with items like Flash Grenades. While your opponent suffers from the effects, they are classified as having a Status Condition. While I’ve not tested it in depth, I’m confident that burning also counts.Status Conditions are not permanent and will fix themselves through time.How to inflict Status Conditions in XDefiantThe easiest way to inflict Status Conditions is with the EMP Grenade. This item will be the first throwable most players will unlock, as...View the full article

Image: Square Enix I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately... like, should I go back and replay the Kingdom Hearts series or not? Fortunately, Square Enix has made this decision trivial with the announcement that it’s releasing the series on Steam on June 13th. To celebrate, and perhaps destabilize an entire generation of adults for whom the first Kingdom Hearts trailer was a transformative experience (aka, me), a trailer was released with a brand-new recording of Hikaru Utada’s “Simple and Clean.” The trailer was ********* very intelligently, showing snippets of the Kingdom Hearts games in chronological order, suggesting to potential customers (and reminding lapsed fans like me) in what order the games should be played. Steam will have three Kingdom... Continue reading… View the full article

The super mutants in Fallout 4 used to look a lot more human during development, as the artist who created them shared their early design. A staple of the Fallout franchise, super mutants have played a pivotal role in every single Fallout title often as named characters such as Frank Horrigan, a ruthless agent of the Enclave and the final boss of Fallout 2. Though the super mutants in the Capital Wasteland originate from Vault 87, the super mutants in Fallout 4 are instead a result of the Institute's research into the Forced Evolutionary virus.

We all want to get into XDefiant and start popping heads, but the ‘can’t find lobby’ error is giving everyone grief. However, as usual, there are a few things you can try to get around the problem. How to find a lobby in XDefiantMy first suggestion with most of these problems that crop up with online games is to wait.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is an emotional rollercoaster filled with ups and downs.

These issues become even more compounded without knowledge or playtime in the first game, as Senua's story in the original Hellblade ties into the events of the second. View the full article
