The Arrowhead Games Studio CEO and the Helldivers 2 creative director, who supported the community’s efforts toward changing the PSN account linking mandate, posted a community member’s accidental cape design that pays tribute to the wave of negative reviews the game received after Sony’s announcement.

Persona 5 Royal is arguably one of the most immersive RPGs ever made thanks to its in-depth time management system but thanks to a talented fan, it just became even more realistic with the introduction of an actual video into its fictional world. When Joker isn't running fighting all manner foes with the Phantom Thieves, the suave protagonist can spend some time in his room playing retro video games to boost his Social Stat points. Each of the titles available for purchase in-game is played with fun mini-games but none of them are as advanced as a classic 90s shooter. View the full article

There are a lot of benefits the hub world of Hades 2 offers. The Crossroads are available to Melinoe for a variety of uses, and much like her mother, she is a horticulturist. So let’s defy time and figure out how to plant all seeds in Hades 2.Hades 2 — Where to plant all seedsImage: Supergiant GamesIf you’ve kept up with the story from Hades to Hades 2, you’ll know that Melinoe’s mother, Persephone, is a talented gardener. As such, it makes sense that Melinoe has a green hand when it comes to plants. There’s even places in The Crossroads that allow you to plant seeds and harvest some unique greenery. But in order to start farming for some plants, you’ll need to cast the Flourishing Soil Incantation. You’ll be able to grab this Incantation early on, and it only costs 1 Moly flower. Performing the spell gives you two plots of soil to plant seeds in, and you have the chance to grab two more plots for a total of 4.Planting see...View the full article

In Hades 2, the Hecate ****** at the end of Erebus isn’t too bad, but one thing that will trip up even veteran players is the sheep curse projectile. Here’s how you can avoid this sheep ******* in the Hades 2 Hecate boss ******.Can you avoid the sheep curse in Hecate’s ****** in Hades 2?Hecate fights relatively fairly for the entire duration of her ******. At least until it comes down to the blasted sheep curse.When she’s on the final third portion of her health, she will center herself in the middle and spawn her Witches, like before. Only this time, a fast prismatic orb will be fired, and if it hits you, you’ll be turned into a sheep for what feels like an eternity.As a sheep, you are slow and defenseless, and could easily **** as a result.Screenshot: PC InvasionHowever, it is possible to avoid the curse projectile, and there are a couple of ways to do it.Hecate’s sheep curse projectile is very quick and follows you around. ***...View the full article

In Hades 2, although failing in a run is **********, it at least gives me opportunity to interact with all the the people – and the frog – in The Crossroads. Saluting, confiding, and brooding and are all enjoyable, but do they do anything?Salute, Treat, Confide, and Brood in Hades 2 – what do they do?TLDR; they do nothing but provide fun and sweet interactions with the denizens of The Crossroads. That’s it.I was positively surprised that such interactions were implemented into the game, it really gives The Crossroads that community feeling. You can interact with almost everyone and everything present, and I’d recommend that you do if you haven’t already.These short and sweet interactions show the compassion in The Crossroads, and allow you to vent your frustrations to the faithful frog.Everyone you can Salute in Hades 2Screenshot: PC InvasionIf you wish to Salute everyone in Hades 2, then seek out all of these characters:...View the full article

Enlarge / John? Is that you, John? John? Can't we discuss this like civilized men? (credit: Stern Pinball) [/url] If you don’t follow the ins and outs of pinball, you might be surprised to find out there are more active companies making games in 2024 than ever before. Stern Pinball is the 800-pound gorilla of the industry. It has been around the longest, has the largest factory, sells the most games, and releases more titles per year than anyone else. For years, it was the sole remaining pinball company in the world. Now—despite the decline of arcades—pinball is seeing a second life. A passionate collector base dedicates entire game rooms in their homes to machines. Pinball and bars go together so well Stern has a whole video series on “brewcade hopping”. There are games in comics shops. One of my more amazing local spots is in the back of a Korean BBQ. All this interest has created a thriving pinball ecosystem of boutique makers, where success is often measured in sales of 1,000 machines or fewer. Other pinball companies might not compete with Stern directly by volume, but they do provide a level of competition for ideas that keeps the hobby strong.

Reduced network traffic at startup and reconnect Fixed regression causing Steam News button to not work Fixed secondary context menu opening when right-clicking open context menu. Fix an error when launching some games that was introduced in the previous beta If a game ******* to update, show why on the details page as well as the downloads page. Fixed embedded browser views showing with high contrast settings when enabled on Windows. Made taking screenshots more responsive Increased brightness of HDR screenshots Modified CSS classnames to reduce package size and reduce feature leaks Big Picture Fixed an issue where after playing a game it would require extra B button presses to back out of the game's library page. Fixed support alert messages intermittently producing an error at startup. Steam Cloud Fixed case where files for one Steam account could be overwritten by files from another Steam account if the first account had logged in but not played the game yet on the device. Steam Input New Configurator feature "Swap Left with Right": While editing a Controller Configuration, you can Swap the behavior of the Left Stick and the Right Stick, or Left Trackpad and Right Trackpad etc. Highlight the source you want to swap in the "Edit Layout" page, and the "Y" button should appear to allow the swap. This should be handy for "South Paws". New Mouse Action: "Reset to Horizon". This helper can reset your camera to the horizon by sending 180 degrees down, and then 90 degrees up after a very short delay. This action can be bound to any activator slot. New Mouse Action: "Turn Camera 360". By default this will generate 360 degrees of rotation. New Mouse Action: "Turn to Face Direction". When activating this, the camera will turn to face the direction you are pushing on the Left Stick (default - Track pads, DPads and Buttons can also be used). Can be combined with "Reset to Horizon" to produce a behavior similar to Splatoon's camera reset button. Note: The New Mouse actions all require Dots per 360 to calibrated for any of them to be accurate. To do this, use "Turn Camera 360" in combination with either "FlickStick" or "Gyro to Mouse", and make sure that one press of your "Turn Camera 360" makes one 360 turn in game. If it does not, tune the Dots per 360 setting from the Controller Quick Settings menu. You do not have to use Gyro to Mouse or FlickStick after this step. FlickStick mode's templates will now default to binding to the correct "Stick Click", but only in Mouse only or Mixed config templates. Added "Invert Command Binding" for FlickStick's Outer Ring Command. Added an option to allow the FlickStick to trigger a Flick Turn if the stick is thrown when the action set/action layer/mode shift is activate. Fixed SteamDeck Configurator Templates' FlickStick default bindings. Gyro Button Picker: you can now choose from any combination of pre-existing gyro enabling buttons. This replaces the "Gyro Activation" Dropdown. Config Defaults: Mouse templates, and "Mixed" Mouse and Gamepad Templates now use "Gyro to Mouse" instead of "As Mouse". Gyro to Joystick modes now no longer generate haptic events when outside the active range. (On those controllers with haptics support) a haptic bump will occur when gyroscope is turned on and off due to the Gyro Enable/Disable/Toggle Button, if haptics are not set to "Off". Choose to disable/enable this from the Gyro Button Picker. Added Dualsense and Dualshock Gyro Enable/Disable/Toggle "center touch" and "center click" for completeness/to help with certain Paddle Mods.
