Helldivers 2 players are at it again: Arrowhead nerfed the fan-favorite flamethrower in the recent Escalation of Freedom patch, and the community has not taken it well. But in the eyes of Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani, it could be worse.
You know a Treyarch Call of Duty game is on the horizon when rabid fans start throwing around lingo I left behind in the 2010s like «Pack-a-Punch», «Juggernog,» and «Speed Cola.» That's right, Zombies is back on the menu in Black Ops 6, and Treyarch is getting back to basics. That means the PvE horde mode is round-based again, and not borrowing the Warzone map like last year's Modern Warfare 3.
As a lifelong Warhammer 40,000 fan, I have to confess to being a little underwhelmed by the playable Space Marine 2 demo that dropped this time last year. Saber Interactive's game looked the part—more so than any other 40k spinoff—but the combat felt too clunky, even bearing in mind the fact that I was playing a huge transhuman lad in power armor. So I was glad when a yearlong delay was announced last November in order to «properly polish the game».
Every so often the algorithm gets it right, and on this occasion YouTube served up one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Several months ago Australian comedian Tom Walker embarked on a Grand Theft Auto 4 playthrough using a mod called Warp Eleven (Super Fast Cars), which changes the behaviour of every vehicle in the game (barring Roman's car) so that they «travel at 'warp speed', in other words they will drive (and crash) at ridiculous speeds, with or without a driver.»
Anthem was kind of baffling right from the start. Why would BioWare, a studio built almost exclusively on popular singleplayer RPGs—Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, let us not forget Jade Empire—suddenly dive into a multiplayer-focused looter shooter? It was weird, and the outcome, if not inevitable, was at least not entirely surprising: We called it «deeply flawed and frequently frustrating» in our 55% review, and just two years after it launched in 2019, BioWare pulled the plug, officially halting future development.
Risk of Rain 2 was published by Gearbox Publishing, and Gearbox Entertainment bought the Risk of Rain IP outright in 2022. The first Gearbox Software-led Risk of Rain 2 DLC, Seekers of the Storm, is on the horizon, and as it resurfaces after a few quiet years, the game's new design lead is optimistic about Gearbox's plans for the IP.
Palworld's community manager Bucky is once again here to let you know that you really don't have to stress about a game's peak concurrent player count, regardless of whether it's the popular survival game or something else like Helldivers 2.
