Dragon's Dogma 2 is a wacky puzzle of a game, full of secrets and interactions that were still surprising players weeks after launch. And while it seems like most of its major twists have already been uncovered, one player claims they've found an obscure Dragon's Dogma 2 secret that's taking them to previously unexplored parts of the game's map. Warning: Massive Dragon's Dogma 2 ending spoilers follow. Do not scroll down if you do not want to know about the entire premise of the game's final hours. Seriously, we're just going to spoil the ***** out of it! LAST CHANCE! BIG SPOILERS STARTING....now. In the final hours of Dragon's Dogma 2's "true" ending, players are transported to a bizarre place known as the "Unmoored World." There, an advancing red fog representative of the murderous Brine slowly creeps across the land, consuming more and more of the map until either the player stops it or the game ends. Players already have some wild theories about what's going on with the Unmoored World, the characters in it, and what's really happening here. But it all got weirder a few days ago, when someone seemingly managed to walk into the red fog and explore what ***** beyond, unscathed. Reddit user Temporary-Class3803 claims in a post to the Dragon's Dogma 2 subreddit that they've found a way to safely traverse the red fog. Per their post, they were initially just exploring theories on how to reverse the fog's encroachment, something that is currently thought impossible. But while they were experimenting, they found an area where Capcom seemingly forgot to code in the "Brine consumes you now" functionality, allowing them to just walk into the giant fog sea and wander around. Here are Temporary-Class3803's instructions on how to find the precise spot: To get into the red mist in that location, start at Seafloor Shrine. You'll need a staff to use the levitate skill from mage/sorcerer. At Seafloor, begin by looking East of the portcrystal and jumping up the side wall in between the vendor area and the vocation guild. Once you get to the top, you'll float over to the far wall and take an immediate right, stopping at the tower. Once at the tower, hop off of the wall to the land below, and take another immediate right, follow the edges of the cloud southward and eventually you'll get to a point where the Brine doesn't try to eat you. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you can actually do much in the big cloud of fog. The Unmoored World is effectively a mirror of the real one in most ways, with the red fog starting where the ocean used to be and slowly eating up the map. As a result, most of what's inside the fog cloud just seems to be...nothing. They report trying to walk to Melve and being unable to do so without Brine eventually consuming them. Still, even if all this just seems to be an unintended goof, Temporary-Class3803 is continuing their exploration in hopes of finding more secrets in the Unmoored World. They're digging into lore, examining the many strange, caved in archways around the continent and pouring over notes and lines left by the Harve Village hermit, looking for unfound secrets. Even if it's unlikely their search turns up any fruit at this stage, the hunt itself has other Redditors curious about secrets, lore, and the potential for either cut content or future DLC content. The primary running theory at the moment (which Temporary-Class3803 is trying to dig into) is that there might be something to do in the Unmoored World with a number of mysterious, caved-in archways dotted around the map. It's been pointed out that at least a few of these archways are only accessible in the Unmoored World, but so far, no one's been able to figure out what they're for. Could they be entrances to a secret dungeon? Possible DLC content? Triggers for another ending? Even if Temporary-Class3803's exploration into the red fog itself is unrelated, their stumbling into it triggered a number of individuals to give the archways a second look. If there's a secret to be found there, the community is on the case. There has already been plenty to find in Dragon's Dogma 2, arches or otherwise. Players are still working out exactly how the mysterious, village-murdering ******** Dragonsplague works, and it took weeks for the internet to realize that catapults could be used to uncover secret areas. More recently, players figured out that Capcom has a built-in system for making sure everyone's Pawn gets hired sometimes. And others are making incredible mods to customize Dragon's Dogma 2, such as creating Dragonsplague warnings, silencing chatty Pawns, and obtaining unlimited teleportation. View the full article

Feeding in League of Legends is probably a term every player dreads, as the match quickly becomes one-sided when you realize the opponents can always rely on their heavily fed player to give them a significant advantage in teamfights. Being a jungler in low Elo, my biggest nightmare is to land in a League game where I find teammates who unintentionally feed ****** champions, spam ping my location to get my help, and shove the ****** in their lanes. But the gank usually just donates more ****** to the ****** champion because they’re untouchable. View the full article

April 12, 2024: With the launch of the Fallout TV show, we're taking a trip down memory lane to reshare some of our classic Fallout coverage. This post was originally published in October of 2017. Tim Cain was at PAX when he first saw Vault Boy as a living, breathing entity - it was a cosplayer of 16 or 17 years old, hair gelled to replicate that distinctive swirl. 'This is weird', he thought. Feargus Urquhart remembers walking into Target and seeing that same gelled haircut and toothy smile, not on a fan this time, but emblazoned across half a meter of cotton. 'How is it that a game that we all worked on somehow created something iconic?', he wondered. 'How did it show up on a t-shirt in a department store?' In the years since, Bethesda has taken Fallout into first-person, online, and the pop culture mainstream. Vault Boy has become as recognizable as Mickey Mouse. The series' sardonic, faux-'50s imagery now feels indelible, as if it has always been here. But it hasn't. Read the rest of the story...

Enlarge / Is a name like "Suyu" ironic enough to avoid facing a lawsuit? (credit: Suyu) [/url] Nintendo continues to use DMCA requests to halt projects it says aid in the piracy of Switch content. Discord has shut down the discussion servers associated with two prominent Yuzu forks—Suyu and Sudachi—while Github has removed a couple of projects related to the decryption of Switch software for use with emulators or hacked consoles. The takedowns are the latest aftershocks from Nintendo's federal lawsuit against Switch emulator Yuzu, which led to a $2.4 million settlement weeks later. Yuzu voluntarily shut down its Github page and Discord server as part of that settlement, though archived discussions from the Discord are still accessible. That settlement includes a section prohibiting the makers of Yuzu from "acting in active concert and participation" with third parties in the distribution or promotion of Yuzu or any clones that make use of its code. But there's no evidence that anyone enjoined by that settlement is actively working with Suyu or Sudachi on their projects. Read 6 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article

Helldivers 2 mission modifiers can provide an interesting way to shake up the challenge of fighting Terminids or Automatons, but they work best when the changes add to the thrill of the gameplay rather than enhancing tedium. Although finding the right kind of balance in a game that's intended to reward complex strategy and high-level play can be difficult, Helldivers 2 is generally good at landing in the sweet spot. It's not completely consistent, but one new Helldivers 2 Booster could help counteract a particularly frustrating mission modifier to keep the game as fun as always. View the full article
