What works in PvE is not always what is optimal in PvP in Destiny 2 . There is some crossover, but ultimately, the two arenas require their own builds and loadouts. PvP is more about surviving and seizing opportunities by picking off players when it is safe to engage. There are ways to achieve this through more aggressive playstyles, but the core concept rema

With the extended range provided by Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore, and the increased magazine capacity from Enhanced Battery, players will be able to rack up kills at a decent distance and rarely need to reload. This gives them more uptime on more powerful enemies and, thus, increases their damage output. Couple this philosophy with the final potential perk, Swashbuckler (not Rampage), and Glacioclasm becomes a nasty addition to Guardians’ arse

Therefore, Guardians need some long-range capabilities while also being formidable at medium and close ranges. For this purpose, both PC and console players will want a Glacioclasm with Hammer-Forged Rifling. Smallbore becomes a bit irrelevant in PvP, as special ammo is not abundant. Players typically only start out with two rounds of energy weapon ammunition in PvP, acquiring more by defeating Guardians who still have special ammo and picking up what they drop, which is not much. Thus, stability is unnecessary, as players will not be volley firing. Range w

Ubisoft’s already large open worlds continued to expand exponentially throughout the PS4 generation. It all started with Caribbean in 2013 and ended with all of Ancient Greece in 2018. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivered Ancient Greece in an extremely-detailed way, which also meant some extremely-long load times. Getting into the game could take minutes, and even worse, getting around quickly or back into the game after death also cost precious time. PS5 mostly solves this, shaving off about 10 seconds when first booting up the game, and bringing the load time into the game well under a minute.

The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.

We’ve taken some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.

The Brightest Things We Know is a Forged In The Dark RPG made by Briar Sovereign, the creator behind fantasy mecha RPG Armor Astir: Advent . Currently available for playtesting on itch.io, The Brightest Things We Know takes place in the distant future, where the scattered, besieged colonies of humanity - remnants from a long-lost golden age - are protected by "Stars," immortal champions gifted strange powers by an enigmatic artifact called "The Visit

Originally introduced during Season 17, Bungie features Raids and Dungeons in a weekly rotation to make them farmable with updated rewards. Bungie is making 2 of each available in the featured rotation each w

For now, though, the Rite of the Nine activity continues forward with its revised schedule and enhanced reward system. Bungie stepped into a bit of controversy with the Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine event after players accused the studio of timegating content when it was discovered that each dungeon was on a three week cycle. However, the studio quickly pivoted and Destiny 2base officially announced changes to the overall schedule and made loot more plenti

What has fallen apart is Crucible, Destiny 2's PvP mode. Destiny 2: Beyond Light adds no new maps or game modes. It's disappointing, but that's nothing compared to awful balancing. Bungie has always had problems balancing Crucible, but the addition of Stasis has resulted in a nightmare scenario that throws balance out the window. There's so much Stasis can do to you and precious few ways to fight back. At this time, using any other abilities puts players at a serve disadvantage. It's unfortunate to see Crucible receive so little attention in Beyond Light.

The spooky castle, families of monster-hunting heroes, and gothic supervillains of Rhapsody of Blood are modeled after the gothic haunts, vampire-hunting Belmont Clan, and incarnations of Dracula seen in the Castlevania video games , with a dash of the boss fights of FromSoftware's Bloodborne. A sequel, Voidheart Symphony , updates the setting of Rhapsody of Blood to a modern-day, urban fantasy world, with an anti-authoritarian rebellion and mental world battles straight out of the Persona JRPG ser

Most of the games in this article are tabletop RPGs inspired by specific video game franchises. .Dungeon , in contrast, is a tabletop RPG about modern-day people playing an MMORPG in the style of classic World of Warcraft or Guild Wars . In .Dungeon, recently funded on Kickstarter, character creation involves designing a fictional MMO player, the look and abilities of their in-game avatar, and choosing character classes that reflect their preferred playst
