Read moreSailing around in a little boat and occasionally sinking because you couldn’t be bothered to get up and kill the sirens trying to break it apart is a key part of what makes exploration – or just commuting between missions – in The Witcher 3 a blast. Though, if you’ve ever thought Geralt could do with a vessel that could safely store all the drowner heads he keeps in his saddle bags, a new mod will let you have a go at sailing a full-size ship.Yep, this is another one of those pet projects that the game’s REDkit modding tools have made possible, and far from the first maritime-based one, with another mod having restored the game’s cut boat races back in July.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings TrickArrant’s ‘Sail Big Ship’ not only boasts one of the be…
Read moreThe Acolyte was revealed to be cancelled on August 19, only weeks after its season 1 run ended on Disney Plus. While it worked well enough with critics, a sizable portion of the Star Wars fandom outright rejected it, citing plenty of s**t reasons and a few other complaints that were actually reasonable. Now, the show’s (double) star, Amandla Stenberg, is finally speaking about the cancellation.According to them (via Instagram), it was “not a huge shock” following the “rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced, when it was still just a concept and no one had even seen it.” They’re not wrong at all about the obvious hate campaign that was staged against the series no matter the actual quality of it, but that doesn’t even begin to explain why it was cancelled.To …
Read morePlayStation’s big hero shooter Concord is now facing a pretty imminent shutdown, but there’s a short window left to hop in for a farewell tour. Though, if you’re hoping to jump into rivalry mode, you might not get what you bargained for, thanks to trophy-hunting XP farmers lobbing themselves into the sea.In case you missed it, Sony and Firewalk Studios announced yesterday that, following a rocky launch with fairly middling reception just last month, the game will be shutting down on September 6. Players who bought it on PS5 and PC prior to sales ceasing will be offered full refunds.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings With that deadline in place, a number of players have decided that they’d really like to nab Concord’s pla…
Read moreBungie has announced that starting in 2025, it’ll be switching to offering two “medium-sized” expansions for Destiny 2 per year, rather than the annual expansions it’d previously constructed its plans around. Why? Well, according the game’s director, things were getting “too rigid” and feel a bit “formulaic” in terms of these add-ons.This change comes not long after The Final Shape arrived to a pretty favourable reception back in June, but was subsequently followed by Bungie laying off 220 staff amid some other big changes. The cuts were reportedly in the works long before that expansion arrived and couldn’t have been prevented even if it had blown away all expectations, with Bungie asserting that it was still “committed to Destiny” after them.To see this content please enable targeting co…

Read moreBlizzard reportedly had adaptations of Overwatch, Diablo, and StarCraft in the works with Netflix prior to it filing a lawsuit against the streaming giant in 2020.This is according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who’s still in the midst of promoting his upcoming book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, and has moved on from appearing on podcasts to hosting Reddit AMAs.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings As part of the latter on r/wow, Schreier was asked by one fan “Any insights into why Blizzard hasn’t branched out into Movies/TV/animation?

Read moreIf you’ve been on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page recently and noticed the review scores seem a bit low, that’s because someone’s been tampering with them.Against all odds, the Silent Hill 2 Remake has been reviewing quite well. There are plenty who feel surprised by that fact, some reviewers included, but look, if the game’s good the game’s good. I’ve not had a chance to go hands-on with it myself yet, so I can’t offer you my opinion, but clearly there are some that are desperate to show theirs. As spotted by Eurogamer, it appears that someone (or perhaps someones) has been editing the Silent Hill 2 Remake’s Wikipedia page to give the game impossibly low review scores – nowhere gives games a zero, people – but it isn’t really clear why.Seriously? Trolls can’t handle SH2R’s success…
