Skating is the flashiest way to get around in Destiny 2, but there are many misconceptions about it. Many believe the technique is hard to pull off, but I’m confident I can teach you how to do it. Here’s how to Shatter Skate, Well Skate, and Bubble Skate in Destiny 2.What is Skating in Destiny 2?Skating is a form of ‘advanced’ movement that catapults Guardians across the map at extremely high speeds. You move so fast that you’ll take damage if you splat into a wall and can traverse gaps that are clearly unintended. The technique has a reputation for being difficult to ********. While it’s not ‘easy,’ I think this misconception comes from poor instructions, which I aim to fix today. Every class can Skate, but it’s the easiest with the Hunter, so I’ll explain that technique first. Even if you’re not a Hunter main, I recommend starting with that class if available, as the timing for Skat...View the full article

The latest Genshin Impact ***** shows Sethos in action against a Ruin Scout, giving players an idea of his damage potential. In version 4.7, Genshin Impact will introduce players to three new units: Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos. Information about these characters is sparse, but early leaks have already revealed their skills and weapons. Clorinde will reportedly be an Electro DPS, while Sigewinne will scale off HP and serve as a healer. Sethos, on the other hand, is expected to be a four-star Electro applicator similar to Fischl.

It's been a tough year for Total War Warhammer 3, but it looks like we might have reached the light at the end of the tunnel. The latest TWW3 DLC Thrones of Decay has just launched on Steam, with a new pricing model offering you more ways to buy the expansion content, and the initial response has been incredibly positive, with the game's Steam player count leaping to its highest in more than a year and early reviews praising developer Creative Assembly for all three packs in the bundle.

With strategy greats like Civilization 6, Crusader Kings 3, and Total War still dominating the genre, last year's Stronghold: Definitive Edition went under the radar. A remaster of the 2001 medieval real-time strategy classic, FireFly Studios rebuilt it from the ground up with better visuals, audio, voice acting, and expanded content to let veterans relive the glory days of the RTS series while offering an improved way for new players to experience it too. FireFly wasn't done at launch though, as the second DLC campaign and a free update just dropped for Stronghold, and you can get the premium content at a discounted price for a limited time.

What are the new Anime Switch codes? Though plenty of similar Roblox games are available, Anime Switch has just a little more polish than most. You'll summon characters from One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Bleach, and you can upgrade each one with trait tokens to give them unique bonuses. Anime Switch is a little more action-orientated than most similar Roblox experiences. However, it's still an anime game where the best characters are randomly summoned at the cost of some gems. Since you're here, you may wish to get free stuff with these Anime Last Stand codes and All Star Tower Defense codes, or the latest ****** Piece codes and Blox Fruits codes if you want something more active.

The rumored main event in Genshin Impact 4.7 has allegedly had its first details leaked and, from the information provided, it may be inspired by a completely unexpected game. HoYoverses hit action RPG is in the early stages of Version 4.6, a major patch that added a new area in the region of Fontaine, multiple quests to pursue, and, notably, the addition of the playable version of Arlecchino in Genshin Impact. The Fatui Harbinger had long been awaited as a playable character and, now, players who beat the banners odds can get a chance to use her in battle. View the full article

Hello. You know Manor Lords, that fun little early access thing that lets you build a nice little medieval village and slowly take over the world by producing more little gamebesons than your tunic-wearing foes? Well, some people have been running into a very, er, non-medieval issue in it. And now there's an equally non-medieval solution doing the rounds. You see, one of the very useful little things you can build in your perfect recreation of a little Bavarian hamlet is a trading post, which, as you might expect, allows you to import and export goods to other places. Naturally, this means that the families you've assigned to it are constantly going out on and returning from trips to transport goods back and forth. As some folks who've really decided to go all-in on the commodity trading have been highlighting, if you've got enough traffic coming in and out of your trading post, you can end up with traffic jams - or traffic accidents - as villagers and merchants try to guide their carts in and out of the post.

Last week a ********* media ministry (not sure what that is but okay) called ********* Answers created a generative AI priest chatbot called Father Justin. Fr. Justin used a large language model to answer questions about the ********* ******* and ********* orthodoxy, and if you have any familiarity with how people love to test AI chatbots - or you read the headline of this article - then you know where this is going. Fr. Justin, who was already kind of controversial anyway, offered the ********** and claimed to be a real priest to Futurism, and gave the thumbs up to baptising a baby in Gatorade in an emergency. ********* Answers (who have the domain [Hidden Content]; gotta imagine His Holiness wishes he'd moved quicker on that one) then defrocked Justin, making him a lay theologian in a suit jacket, jeans and an open collar shirt that gives him a "me and my wife saw you accross the bar" kind of vibe, when before he had the whole dog collar kit and caboodle.

Let me take you back to 2009. Barack Obama was president, Kanye West was interrupting future icons and, for some reason, teenagers were popping the plastic out of 3D glasses and wearing them to school. And the world of gaming was amid a rhythm game Gold Rush. We had Guitar Hero and Rock Band duking out in the main event, with tough pub quiz answers like Rock Revolution and Power Gig: Rise of the Six String making up the numbers. However, all of those games shared a fairly similar Cathouse-adjacent sensibility. Back when the production of plastic instruments caused 90% of the world’s carbon emissions, it was hard to stand out from the crowd. Read More... View the full article

Margot Robbie might be more focused on her work as a producer right now, but it looks like she's finding some time for her next role too. As reported by Variety, Robbie is apparently currently looking to star in an upcoming adaptation of Avengelyne, a '90s co-created by Cathy ********** and Rob Liefeld, the latter of which being the co-creator of the iconic Marvel anti-hero Deadpool. Robbie, if she joins the film, would be taking on the lead role of the titular character, a fallen angel that can use her blood as a ******* or miracle through quoting ****** verses. Yes, this does very much sound like a '90s comic, complete with an oversexualised design, though I'm sure a film version will shape up a bit differently. Warner Bros. is also apparently close to finalising a seven-figure film rights deal, with Don't Worry Darling director and Tron: Legacy actor Olivia Wilde on directorial duties, and Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, Logan) as producer. Poor Things screenwriter Tony McNamara is also attached to pen the script. In a statement provided to Variety, Liefeld said, "This incredibly humbling journey to bring Avengelyne to life onscreen started through my relationship with super-producer Simon Kinberg who told me he had a perfect fit for the material and asked me to trust him.

Yesterday, coinciding with the release of the Thrones of Decay DLC, Total War: Warhammer 3 jumped 90 places in the Steam charts, trailed closely by the three lord packs that make up the strategy game's latest expansion. Those lord packs are now the three top rated expansions in the series’ history, and the base game itself saw a huge uptick in positive reviews. The last day also saw a peak player count of around 66,000, putting it ahead of giants like Palworld, Rimworld, and Fallout 76. None of this would be especially notable, however, if this wasn’t a complete turnaround from how things have been for the best part of a year now. Read more View the full article

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has issued a statement on recent changes to the way ricochet works in the game after members of the community pointed out one ******* in particular was ******** players more than it should. After this week’s release of patch 01.000.300, which tweaked a long list of weapons, stratagems, and enemies, a debate emerged about the state of ricochet. According to the initial patch notes: “Shots that ricochet from heavy armored enemies will now properly hit the Helldiver who fired them. Trigger discipline is highly recommended.” Players then reported getting ******* more often by shots that ricochet, but there was confusion about what exactly was happening. Clips shared on social media appeared to show players suffering embarrassing deaths at the hands of their own ricocheting projectiles, even from rockets and explosives, but redditor Zenbast investigated the issue and blamed it on the Eruptor. The Erupter is an explosive ******* that causes shrapnel, and, Zenbast found, it was this shrapnel that was ******** players, not necessarily ricocheting bullets. Zenbast suggested other weapons that have the shrapnel effect might have had a similar issue, but it was the Eruptor that was causing the most chaos. Now, Arrowhead has issued a follow-up acknowledging the issue with the Eruptor and announcing planned changes to fix it. The developer said it will completely remove the shrapnel effect from the Eruptor but increase its hit damage as a result. “This should make it less lethal to the operator but just as powerful against enemies,” Arrowhead said. “It should maintain its destructive power, and as it is still classed as explosive, it will not lose the ability to break objects, close holes, ******** fabricators, etc. This will, overall, be a buff to the ******* as shrapnel played an almost negligible part in the damage and power it dealt. Its AOE will be unaffected.” Arrowhead ended its statement by thanking the Helldivers community for working out what was happening. Here’s the statement in full: The teams have been hard at work testing a number of community issues today, mainly focused on the changes to ricochets and shrapnel. In response to a previous front page post we looked into the possibility of rockets and other explosives being affected by ricochets. This has since been debunked by the community, but nonetheless, our Ministry of Defense team also ran a number of tests today and confirmed that rockets and explosives are not ricocheting backwards. However, we have noticed another issue through these posts and community feedback that has identified the possibility for shots from the R-36 Eruptor to explode and rebound shrapnel at the shooter, which has a high enough damage value to instantly ***** the player. To prevent this, we're looking to completely remove the shrapnel effect from the Eruptor but will be increasing its hit damage as a result. This should make it less lethal to the operator but just as powerful against enemies. It should maintain its destructive power, and as it is still classed as explosive, it will not lose the ability to break objects, close holes, ******** fabricators, etc. This will, overall, be a buff to the ******* as shrapnel played an almost negligible part in the damage and power it dealt. Its AOE will be unaffected. Currently, with the systems in place, only small arms should be able to ricochet on armor. If you see an explosive VFX at the point of impact, the projectile is not causing a ricochet, as ********** effects are not triggered when a ricochet occurs. Shrapnel, however, can still explode outwards from the point of impact and ***** the player. We apologize for this misunderstanding and thank you all for investigating these new changes so diligently, and for passing on your feedback to us. Hopefully this makes sense and these changes should help everyone survive better!

This week, Microsoft announced the timing of its Xbox showcase event in June as well as a follow-up Direct for a mystery game that looks like a clear tease for the next Call of Duty. This year’s mainline Call of Duty is reportedly a Treyarch-developed ****** Ops game set in the Gulf War. Some had even thought it might be called Call of Duty ****** Ops Gulf War, following the naming convention set out by the previous ****** Ops game, Call of Duty ****** Ops Cold War. However, following Microsoft’s tease, eagle-eyed Call of Duty fans are giving the image included the zoom and enhance treatment, and believe the redacted section conceals the words Call of Duty ****** Ops V. We’re going to be talking about games of course Tune in to the Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct on Sunday, June 9 @ 10am PT: [Hidden Content] | #XboxShowcase [Hidden Content] — Xbox (@Xbox) April 30, 2024 As many fans have pointed out, you can almost make out the ‘OPS’ from ****** Ops in the redacted section in the bottom of the image. The suggestion is the spacing only makes sense if the words are ‘****** Ops V’, not ‘Gulf War.’ Why the V, specifically? It’s all in the pixels, fans believe. Actually, the single pixel to the right of the blacked out part of the image. Would it be more of a bar if it concealed a ‘5’ than a ‘V’? Some fans believe so. ****** Ops V only seems suitable ;) [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — ******* (@Deziah) April 30, 2024 Here’s some better versions made by @omgFawzi that give a better look at what BO5’s teaser should look like uncensored [Hidden Content] — Forward (@ForwardLeaks) April 30, 2024 If the game is called ****** Ops V, that would track with the roman numeral system used for previous ****** Ops games (bizarrely, Activision went with ****** Ops IIII for the fourth game in the series, as opposed to IV). ****** Ops V would also be a somewhat puzzling choice given it wouldn’t actually be the fifth mainline ****** Ops game, but the sixth. Perhaps Activision wants to lean more on the idea of this new ****** Ops being a fully-fledged sequel after veering into potential sub-sub-brand territory with Cold War. Perhaps the game spans more than the Gulf War, so using the name in the title wouldn't properly reflect its content. Or perhaps Activision feels like having Gulf War in the title of the game is a step too far, even for Call of Duty. Whatever the case, fans don’t have long to wait to find out, given the Xbox Showcase and the Call of Duty Direct are a little over a month away. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

The Legend of Zelda movie director Wes Ball has said he's aiming for something a little more "grounded" with his adaptation than he first envisioned a decade ago. Now, admittedly, right off the bat when I saw Wes Ball, the guy behind the soon-to-be-released Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, say that he wants his Zelda move to be more "grounded" and "real" alarm bells went off in my head. You're telling me you want the series where its protagonist, Link, has been a furry, a painting, and a Deku scrub, to be grounded? But this is why it's important to read on a touch, as that's not exactly what he's getting at. Ball recently spoke in a brief interview with Polygon, where he was asked about his more than a decade old tweet about a hypothetical Zelda film, in which he said "Since I could never even hope to have the chance to direct it... the next big mo-cap Avatar-like movie should be... THE LEGEND OF ZELDA." Bear in mind, this was literally a month after the original Avatar released, so it's no surprise it was on his mind. These days, though, Ball is singing a different tune, saying that a completely motion-capture Zelda film "probably isn't his choice." He then went on to say he wanted the film to be more "grounded" and "real" so it more sounds like he doesn't want a bunch of CGI elf-like people wandering around green-screen sets. I'm hoping that means he's leaning more towards practical effects, a bit of a dying artform in a post-MCU world. Read more View the full article
