Elden Ring , from Dark Souls developer FromSoftware , has been made in collaboration with George R.R. Martin, who has written the lore for the world for the game's setting. In contrast, Diablo 4 takes place in the established worlds of the Diablo series. While both games will make use of a variety of dark fantasy tropes, they will have vastly different gameplay styles and mechanics, meaning that those who can't wait to play them have a variety of different games that might appeal to them while they w

Their popularity came both from their interesting lore and the distinct builds they could use. It was easy to create a viable build as either a melee fighter or spell caster, or to depend on their summons. The strongest and easiest types to play in all difficulties were the Tornado and Hurricane builds, while the weakest was summoning, at least in the Hell difficu

In addition to dealing damage and gathering Essence, Decompose periodically summons skeletons for the duration of its damaging effect, acting as a twofold source of damage in addition to gathering energy to lead into other abilities. The other confirmed Darkness skill is called Blight, launching a ball of darkness that detonates after contacting an enemy or after a set amount of time; after doing so, it deals an initial burst of damage while leaving an area of corrupted ground that deals damage over time to enemies standing in it. These skills provide a great baseline for the new playstyle and a hint as to the levels of synergy that could be reached by combining Darkness skills with other facets of the Necromancer. Though the Necromancer's inclusion in Diablo 4 might've been predictable , innovations such as Darkness prove that the developers are far from playing it safe by reusing old cont

Shapeshifting was one of the most notable features of the Druid class identity, and it was feasible to play a in melee range in an action-oriented build with life leach. Werebear was also viable thanks to its attack speed and defense, but typically slower and would feel more repetitive than other bui

Despite this ending being a non-canon joke, the Mira shiba inu dog ending has featured in a few Silent Hill games due to how fun this easter egg is. It’s a nice change of pace from all the horrors , fog, and murders, and it features Mira as the dog that was behind all the events in Silent Hill 2 thanks to a bunch of control levers and butt

Sure, Cain can identify that weird-looking short sword for you, but do you stay a while and listen? No, you’re always heading off on the next quest. Why the heck would you want to listen to him on your phone? Perhaps it's a good thing that Tristram doesn’t get a cell phone signal anym

Silent Hill 2 isn't exactly a game that one would expect to feature silly jokes, but that’s exactly what fans can find with the Silent Hill 2 dog ending. Obtaining one of the happier endings is fairly difficult, but players can find a different path at the Lakeview Hotel when they receive the dog key and head to the observation room on the third floor, but only after watching the videotape. This will unlock the secret Dog Ending that reveals the shiba inu dog that was behind the events of the g

A major part of development in Diablo 4 Gold farming IV requires the team to have access to methods of quickly and easily testing designs in game to see if they work, or if they need to be scrapped entirely. To do this, blocking out, or "grayboxing" levels lets the team create areas with only the most basic of visual components to try out their id

TikTok has plenty of entertaining content creators, ranging from funny videos and great singing performances to excellent tips. Still, it's like any social media platform, where people overshare or just put content out that nobody wants to

Even the creator of Zelda doesn't like Navi . We imagine she wouldn't have many followers, and would probably have to switch to Instagram Reels or something after everyone blocks her. Maybe she could go and hang out with the paper clip guy from Microsoft W

Judging by how long Breen’s video messages are in Half-Life 2, we can only imagine how long his TikTok videos would be as he drones on and on. Thank goodness TikTok wasn’t around when this classic sequel was relea

The first is meant to work for simple interactions to focus on what they are saying, but still retaining the feel of an isometric game. When conversations are more complex, likely during the development of the main story content, the team will rely creating more hand-crafted gestures and movements. This will make specific story moments feel more genuine and comp

We sure like robots being smug to nuclear war survivors. Codsworth is the robot butler companion we thought we wanted in Fallout 4 — but after the 40th TikTok video of him making another bad joke, we would probably just be hoping for the bombs to fall ag

Baldur's Gate 3 , like the rest of the Baldur's Gate series, is firmly rooted in D &D _ both in terms of the setting but also game mechanics. With themes such as morality, inter-party conflict, and otherworldly tyrants, _Baldur's Gate 3 allows the players massive amounts of freedom as they play. To a certain extent, players can choose if they want to be good or evil or how their characters solve probl
