In real life I’m pretty sure I can’t pick up a rock, grab a stick, collect some “plant fiber” (whatever the hell that is), then use those three items to craft an axe that can cut down a few dozen trees. Most likely, my “axe” would break on the first swing and I’d have better … Read more

Like some kind of bat signal for FPS players who like to ruin the fun, the Battlefield 6 open beta’s popularity has already attracted a number of cheaters. Players have found evidence of people using wall hacks to easily track enemies no matter where they go. And it’s happening despite EA’s kernel-level anti-cheat, Javelin, that … Read more

PEAK: MESA update coming August 11th – YouTube Watch On Everyone’s laughing until someone gets whisked away by a dust devil with a backpack full of food. This is how I imagine Peak’s Mesa Update is going to go when it drops next week. The goofy co-op climbing game will add the mesa biome to … Read more

The Battlefield 6 open beta is here, and it’s almost actually open. We’re on day two of early access, and the lineup of modes and maps for weekend 1 is set.

Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra spends his time these days heading up a technically-not-gambling daily fantasy sports company, but that doesn’t mean he’s bereft of thoughts on videogames. Late last year he opined that Marvel Rivals is just an Overwatch ripoff (which did not sit well with PC Gamer’s Elie Gould) and now he’s back … Read more

There are many, many things that professional game development could take from mods: better UIs, cooler weapons, what if everyone was naked all the time. But the one that most sticks out to me—that I think almost every single game could learn from and that I am baffled they still haven’t—is IStewieAI’s Auto-Save Manager (ASM) … Read more

For various reasons, I’ve taken an extended break from Baldur’s Gate 3—what can I say? Astarion and I needed some time apart. But the two-year release anniversary (approaching five for early access) has tempted me to return to those city streets I know perhaps a little too well.

There are certainly some complaints … Read more
