As reported by Kotaku, Palmer explains that his route involves killing nothing, speaking to nobody, and skipping every quest. All it requires are some firm jumping legs and a little bit of magic. The trick, really, lies in using the Jump transmutation spell to triple his hop height, leaping over every combat encounter and skipping through most of the game’s cutscenes. There’s one real testing point, in that the player needs to make a successful investigation check to make it through a well into the Whispering Depths....

The new trailer shows off several activities and mini-games, including drink-mixing, bug-catching, fish-fishing, and treasure hunting. It all looks adorable, but this wouldn’t be a bathhouse management game if it didn’t include some of that Ghibli busywork. Daily maintenance was also on display, as the player character can be seen running after spirits, folding up towels and rushing to feed an enormous dragon. Everything you’d want in a game like this....

First up, update 3.1 later in December will bring a revised version of Manifest, one of 2042’s maps, with “HQ flags closer to the action, a tighter playspace, improved visibility, cover and sightlines, and pathing between flags improved to allow for more focused attack and defense of them.” Update 3.2 will arrive early next year with a revised version of the map Breakaway, but also the reintroduction of classes. Previous Battlefield games let you drop into matches as assault, engineer, support or recon classes, for example, but Battlefield 2042 did away with the system in favour of unique specialist characters “inspired by” those classes....

One major caveat is its resolution of 1920x1080. While perfectly acceptable on a 24in or 25in screen, 1920x1080 spread across 27in is really the outer limit of what I’d deem an acceptable pixel density, especially if you want a screen that you can comfortably use for work and other desktop tasks for long periods of time. Normally, I’d recommend going for a 2560x1440 resolution if you really want that larger 27in screen size, as its higher pixel density won’t just make text and games look sharper, but it’s also a lot easier on the old eyes, too....

On this page: Best CX-9 loadout Best CX-9 Perks and Equipment Best CX-9 loadout in Warzone Early indications are that the CX-9 won’t make much of a sniper support. There’s a lot of horizontal movement in the recoil pattern, and the damage range is nothing special. However, it’s an absolute beast up-close. Here’s our recommended build: Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor Underbarrel: Mercenary Foregrip Laser: 5mW Laser Stock: CX-FR Magazine: 50 Round Drum...

You can use the FSS Recon barrel to boost the range further, but on a close-range build, I prefer the better ADS speed of the Strike....

Many MMO veterans out there already know the classes and builds they prefer to play and would like to recreate them, while others just want to know the best way to approach New World’s various combat situations. Below we’ve outlined our recommendations for the best PvP and PvE builds, as well as the best builds for recreating your favourite MMORPG character classes including healer, DPS, tank, and more. And, since we’ve noticed a high proportion of the New World players we’ve encountered like to go it alone, we’ve also put together details on our favourite build for tackling Aeternum as a solo player....

Gordon’s post alleged that he turned down a six-figure sum offered by Stratton to never discuss his work on Doom Eternal again, and that Stratton’s letter had “severely impacted” his career. “We are aware of all the details and history in this matter and unequivocally support Marty, Chad, and the team at id Software,” Bethesda’s statement read. “We reject the distortion of the truth and selective presentation of incomplete “facts....

“Build your skyship and explore the open world, fight factions of pirates and monsters, claim your territory by foot or by your flying vessel,” Hungry Couch Games explain. “You’re the captain and the sky is the limit.” You can catch a good bit of all that combat, in the sky and on land, here in Black Skylands’ launch trailer. You’re also able to choose and customise different styles of ship for flying out and about in, whether it’s a light and quick skyship or a hefty one with tons of cargo space....

The Game Kitchen announced The Stir Of Dawn, as they call this “free DLC”, during last night’s Day Of The Devs showcase. So yes, True Calvary will let you start a new run over, facing tougher enemies but keeping your old gear. Adding a new quest line to that is interesting, even if lots of folks likely won’t see it. You’ll need to really suffer if you want to see more of the cycle of this broken world....

Elves and gobbos feel a little mundane for a fantasy sports game after the wonders, horrors, and straight-up babes of Blaseball. The Ian Games Network got the scloosie and explain BB3 “will feature the new edition rules, teams - like the new Black Orcs and Imperial Nobility - units and their associated skills.” IGN say it’ll have campaign and multiplayer modes, and pack 12 teams at launch, and some sort of post-launch content updates will follow....

Last week, Infinity Ward pushed back the launch of the second season of multiplayer for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 from February 1st to February 15th. More details of what’s making its way into Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer and Warzone 2 in Season 02 are set to be shared in a development blog sometime later this week. We already know from a tweet by Treyarch last week that ranked play will be coming for Modern Warfare 2 with Season 02, for instance....

Season 4 of Modern Warfare was delayed from its intended launch last week, as Infinity Ward claimed it was “not the time” to push a new COD season. Blimey, thank goodness we cleared up all those nagging social issues over the last six days, eh? Headlining this season’s changes are a trio of new mid-game events for Warzone, aimed at spicing up the battle royale routine. Supply Choppers calls in a heavily-armoured, completely harmless helicopter, one that’ll burst with high-end goodies and cash if your team manages to pop it....

As we move towards the next season, we expect Vanguard to receive frequent patches and fixes. If any of these changes impact the Type 100, we’ll update this guide to let you know. Make sure to check back when Season 2 launches to find out if this Type 100 loadout has received any tweaks to fit the new meta.

The AX-50 is a sniper you’ll unlock after playing the game for a little while. For that reason, you might’ve gotten used to the HDR by then, but for those of you who want to try something new in Warzone, read on. Best AX-50 Loadout in Warzone We’ve been testing out the AX-50 in Warzone a whole bunch. It’s the sniper of choice for numerous Warzone players, and it’s easy to see why....

This is the update that was due to launch on Tuesday but got unexpectedly delayed. The patch notes cover both Modern Warfare and Warzone, seeing as the two are tied together in ways. Let’s pick out some Warzone and PC bits… Talon’s bundle costs 2400 Call Of Duty Points (about £17) so if you get your throat bitten out by a dog, you know someone’s really splashed out for your humiliation....

They’ve been replaced by “Most Wanted” Contracts, where your location gets revealed to everyone on the map. If you survive, all your dead squadmates get respawned. They sound neat, but… I want both. Why can’t I have both? Both Contracts elegantly solve one problem with battle royale games, where you’re incentivised to play passively. That’s OK if you want to spend a quite and suspenseful time hiding in huts for 30 minutes, but rewards for going out and killing do make the game more interesting....
