Games like Destiny 2 give players more chances to do cool things thanks to the wealth of options they make available. Still though, cool things tend not to stay cool when they come so easily. Taking down three or four players in four seconds with a Titan Slam or Golden Gun looks amazing and feels great at first. A few dozen time later though, it still looks cool but its just routine at that point. Limitations may makes these sorts of games feel more difficult most of the time, but it can be worth it for those moments when one overcomes those limitations and does something awesome.

Ubisoft’s already large open worlds continued to expand exponentially throughout the PS4 generation. It all started with Caribbean in 2013 and ended with all of Ancient Greece in 2018. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivered Ancient Greece in an extremely-detailed way, which also meant some extremely-long load times. Getting into the game could take minutes, and even worse, getting around quickly or back into the game after death also cost precious time. PS5 mostly solves this, shaving off about 10 seconds when first booting up the game, and bringing the load time into the game well under a minute.

Nine Cat Statues are spread across the Dreaming City. Giving one of these statues a "Small Gift" will grant a Dreaming City item before despawning. Much like Corrupted Eggs, these cats are account locked and will not resp

Ascendant Challenges allow players to farm two pieces Trials of Osiris gear every week, per character. Completing a challenge for the first time for the week will grant a random piece of Dreaming City loot. Petra Venj sells an Ascendant Challenge weekly bounty that drops a random piece of Dreaming City gear upon its completion. The challenge is to complete an Ascendant Challenge, doubling the rewards received for the week if acquired before the Ascendant Challenge is completed. Ascendant Challenges appear to players who consume a Tincture of Queensf

We’ve taken some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.

A common complaint about Halo at the time was that matches were always about map control and power weapons. This was true, and it made turning the tide of battle difficult. Halo matches were won purely through map knowledge, coordination and often just out-playing one’s opponents. There was no gear/build meta to keep track of and no rock-paper-scissors element outside of challenging power-weapon users. The team that made the best use of the common tools was the team that won. Turning a match around was difficult, yes, but it could be done with enough effort. The result: a feeling unmatched by most modern multiplayer shooters.

It must be said that classic Halo isn’t necessarily better than a game like Destiny 2. It had matchmaking issues and a progression system that was at least a little, if not very, broken. It also offered players little reason to play outside of simply enjoying multiplayer. It also suffered from feeling "same-y" after a while. Players didn’t have their own personal armories and, until Halo: Reach hit the scene, everyone always had the same basic abilities. Compared to Destiny 2, Halo offered players little in the way of personal options. If one was to find an edge, they had to either do it through power-ups, clever team tactics or just pure skill.

Thanks to a recent Bungie blog post , players received confirmation that plenty of new items will be incorporated into the loot pool in early July. This follows immediately after the next week of Iron Banner, taking place from June 29 to July 6. In addition to the Moon weapons, the blog post also confirmed that the remaining Dreaming City weapons will be returning to the loot p

Players can agree that sometimes the exotic weapon that took the longest to get is a must-have for any match type. The problem with that strategy, however, is the usability of that same exotic weapon in a given situat

To that end, the first roll for which Guardians should aim is Extended Barrel, which offers Cold Front more range, handling (able to pull the weapon out faster), and stability to control that pesky recoil common in SMGs. This gives Guardians more wiggle room when facing multiple enemies at medium or long ranges. Regardless, this weapon is still more useful at medium to close ran

Additionally, these weapons will all be returning with a refreshed perk pool with the perks added to Destiny 2 in Year 3 and Year 4. Players can acquire these weapons and all Dreaming City through the Shattered Throne dungeon, story missions, bounties, Queen Bounties, Offering to the Oracle, Corrupted Eggs, Blind Well, and Cat Stat

The current meta for the game's PvP modes is sure to change once the new abilities and weapons get into the hands of competitive players online, so focusing on the current do's and don'ts of the game is crucial to staying al
