The Vestian Outpost provided a nice change of scenery and the Prison of Elders arena activity offered a new experience at a time when much of the game's offerings were starting to become a little stale. It was by no means the perfect expansion and did little to draw new players into the game. It did, however, give existing ones a reason to stick around a little lon

Santa Monica Studios’ Norse-themed sequel to the classic God of War trilogy was breathtaking when it launched. With a sequel planned for PS5, many players are likely to want to replay God of War ahead of time. Load times aren’t terrible on PS4, but switching over to PS5 offers some substantial improvements, especially when booting up the game.

With gameplay that resembles the Monster Hunter franchise, Dauntless is a free-to-play action game for gamers who love to take on giant bosses and challenging raids in Destiny 2 Lighthouse 2 . Playable in both single-player and multiplayer, Dauntless is a fantasy game that sees players taking on the role of Slayers hunting down gigantic monsters called Behemo

If you’ve played any game in the past few years then you’ll understand a harsh reality: load times are getting longer. As our gaming worlds got bigger, textures and geometry got more detailed, graphical effects increased, and load times also increased. While a handful of well-optimized games managed to cut the time, it wasn’t out of the ordinary to wait close to a minute or even longer to load into some games.

Launch the quest and players will load into a cutscene and begin their journey to navigating the mysterious ship. On the landing pad, fans will notice they cannot open the front bay door into the ship. Instead, they should turn left (if facing the door) and jump onto some platforms far off the ramp’s edge against the ship’s exterior h

For players tackling the mission solo, the boss fight is more than doable. After jumping down to fight the boss when the burn damage has been deactivated, stand on one end of the room and deal damage. The boss will close the distance. When he does, jump up to the top floor, run to the other end, and drop back down to deal more damage. Repeat the process until the burn damage comes back and it is time to pull the levers and kill adds ag

The expansion brings with it a host of updates and new content that rewards those who stuck with the game while it was treading water during its infancy. The Gambit game mode is probably the best thing on offer, but there are plenty of other positives to be found in Forsaken . The new storyline has a lot of potential, although at times is held back by the game's substandard storytelling. It's not the worst out there, but is perhaps the only missed opportunity in an otherwise fantastic Destiny 2 expans

The general consensus as to what constitutes a god roll for Destiny 2 ’s Glacioclasm differs between PvE and PvP. For PvE in Destiny 2 , most weapons benefit from Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore. Smallbore gets the edge for the Glacioclasm on consoles, as it offers both range and stability. PC players, however, may want to focus on Hammer-Forged Rifling (increases range) since stability tends to not be an issue when using a keyboard and mo

The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.

Defeat the minor boss located there and travel to the furthermost platform on the right. Within an open container players will find a scannable item. Scan the item and return to Zavala in the Tower, who will give Guardians a quest called "The Voice on the Other Side," which unlocks "The Presage" exotic quest on the Tangled Shore . Opening the Tangled Shore on the map will allow players to see the icon for the quest in the upper left corner of the

Along with the cosmetics (including ships, shaders, and sparrows), The Dawning offers a couple of festive weapons on which Guardians are trying to get their hands. These weapons will only be available as drops until the event ends on January 5, 2021. So, players interested in acquiring these items should invest some time into participating in The Dawning 2020. One of those weapons is the legendary fusion rifle, Glacioclasm, dealing void damage to enem

With many more classes to choose from than Destiny 2 , Maplestory offers players plenty of progression options, and most classes come with their own quests and storylines, in addition to the expected differences in gameplay. The colorful art is quite different from Destiny 2 , as is the fantasy setting, but fans will appreciate this MMORPG's de

Navigating the ship is relatively straightforward. Players will spend some time pulling levers, shooting spores, passing through protected fields, and destroying power cores to shut down electrical fields or open doors. Explore every room to locate the hidden levers, spores, and electric cores. Eventually, players will drop down onto a platform that will rotate as their Guardian gets close to create a surface on which to stand. Looking to the right will reveal a small chute into which gamers must drop, leading to a trash compactor area where the walls will close in (after pulling a lever) until players become squis
