Is Discord always safe for women?

But so can many online gaming spaces — according to a 2018studypublished in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, women gamers often stay anonymous online or play alone. A more recentstudyconducted by Casino.org in 2019 found that 57% of women gamers are harassed after other players discover their gender....

Killzone: Shadow Fall gets a new story trailer

This is our home Look, I’m not necessarily a Killzone person or even a shooter person (I usually only play the campaigns). ButKillzone: Shadow Falllooks great. I suppose the franchise fans out there will get more out of this brand new story trailer than I did, but I still have a full appreciation of how fantastic it looks, and am glad that this is a PS4 launch title. I’m looking forward to playing it, dying often in it, and exploring what looks to be a pretty deep storyline....

Mass Effect Legendary Edition will let those who ‘like pain’ swap to older Mako controls

Flip it like it’s 2007 TheMass Effect Legendary Editionis due out next week, with ahost of improvements specifically targeting the first game. Some of those include the lovably clunky Mako, which could certainly use a tune-up; but if you’re eager to re-experience the Mako in its original glory, well, it sounds like there’s a setting for that. In an interview withPC Gamer, environment director Kevin Meek said that for “those people out there who do like pain, we’ve left the option to leave it back kind of closer to the original controls as well if you want....

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond gameplay trailer finally arrives, releases in 2025

The one last thing of today’s Nintendo Direct is none otherthan the elusiveMetroid Prime 4. Announced back in (holy crap) 2017, this is the first time we’ve actually seen gameplay. It will be arriving in 2025. I’d say I was shocked, but they had to show it at some point. The gameplay shown off looks a lot like theMetroid Primewe’ve become accustomed to. There’s even series’ antagonist, Dark Samus, stepping in at the end....

Minecraft: Story Mode’s Xbox 360 price hike is not a joke

Problems of the digital age Minecraft: Story Modeis about to be delistedfrom digital marketplaces, but something odd is going on with the Xbox 360 version. In a strange limitation of the Xbox Live Marketplace, there is no way to remove a title from sale while letting legitimate owners redownload them. I guess Microsoft didn’t think of that when it launched the 360 14 years ago (how dare they!), so a different type of workaround has been utilized....

This week is pretty quiet, but that should give folk plenty time to devourMetro: Last Light.It’s pretty rad, and damn do I wish I had the time for a second helping. On top ofLast Light, there’re a few other things launching this week, including the PSN exclusive EVE FPS thingy,Dust 514; tower defense in the form ofAnomaly 2; more tower defense in the form ofSanctum 2; and the 3DS spaceship mystery,The Starship Damrey....

Of course Bungie is making Destiny 2 transmog a grindy chore with microtransaction shortcuts

Community: ‘We just want A’ – Bungie: ‘Okay how about B, C, D, and E in this strict order?’ I can’t say I’m surprised at this point that Bungie would take a concept as old and as simple as transmogrification (cosmetic changes) and “Bungiefy it.” They’ve done it so many times in bothDestiny 1and2that I’m immune to it. Did anyone expect the long-awaited transmog system to go swimmingly? So here’s what’s up....

Portal 2 and Civ V demoed with the Steam Controller

As predicted, my brain can’t handle this demonstration of theSteam Controller. I’m so used to the current twin-stick form factor that imagining what it must feel like to have a mouse and keyboard emulated on a gamepad using dual trackpads is bizarre. But this showcase of the controller comes across as strangely natural since it’s in the hands of someone at Valve who’s gotten comfortable with the input method. There are more videos of the controller yet to come, and Valve is specifically asking for suggestions on what next to play....

Pre-order Dark Souls II for more starter weapons

Early purchases ofDark Souls IIwill come with a voucher for the “Black Armor Weapons Pack” containing five weapons and shields (find the item descriptions below) which players can make use of at the beginning of the game. At first glance, this sounds dreadful. However, these items are by no means exclusive — you’ll be able to find them later on inDark Souls IIwithout the voucher. So while I’m still not a fan of this approach, I can see the value in letting new players take any advantage they can get....

RAGE tool kit for user-created content available today

Bethesda has announced that theRAGEtool kit will be available later today via Steam, allowing users to create their own content for the game. It is apparently the “same tools used to create RAGE and its DLC,The Scorchers.” It better be, considering it’s a hefty 35+ GB download. Holy crap! That takes some dedication to download, and likely even more dedication to use. The guys who used these tools have you covered though, and have provided recommended reading material, which can be downloaded and read fromthe official blog....
