Some players came away from Onimusha's demo worried that the game would be too easy, a concern I've addressed in-depth based on my own time with the game. The good news is that I think the challenge level is well-judged for most people, and Onimusha does have a hard mode.For those who hoped to jump right into the hardest possible difficulty from the main menu, though, I've got some bad...
We're long past the days of assuming the Steam Deck can comfortably handle the new big-budget action game of the moment, but here's a nice surprise: Valve's handheld is not a bad way to play Onimusha: Way of the Sword.It's not quite the optimization darling that Resident Evil Requiem was earlier this year, but it's much better news than Monster Hunter Wilds or Dragon's Dogma 2. After testing Onimusha in...
I had no trouble finding vendors to offload Coen's endless supply of low-value pilfered junk in Blood of Dawnwalker, but it took a few days to figure out how to sell silver. It makes sense that silver is considered contraband under vampire rule, so you have to find the right vendor to foist it on and complete a quick quest before adventuring south. Where can you sell silver in Blood...
Finding Vrakhir blood in Blood of Dawnwalker might trip you up a bit if you're looking to unlock new abilities and generally mess about as a creature of the night. While you acquire most skills in the tree naturally as you drink blood and just generally be a vampire, some specific skills only become available when you "drink Vrakhir blood" and it's not clear exactly how. Below, I'll explain where...
Finding Witchcraft manuals really helps make Blood of Dawnwalker's human combat a lot of fun. These hexes can summon a murder of crows, set enemy blood ablaze, or even protect and reflect against a single instance of damage. The catch, however, is that you'll have to track down skill manuals to unlock them. I'll run through where to find them all below and provide a list of all the Witchcraft...
How time worksTime-sensitive quests are marked with a clock 🕑 in your quest log.There are eight time segments each day (and eight each night).Quests that use up time have an hourglass symbol ⏳ and number to indicate how many segments they use.⚠️ Getting caught stealing will waste four time segments with the guard.⚠️ Be careful about learning skills at shrines during the prologue; some use up time to unlock.Full prologue...
Los Santos CustomsI'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.We saw many things during Grand Theft Auto 6's weird Netflix reveal, and it's official: GTA is simmy now. The gendarmes...
Earlier this year, shots were fired and an incendiary device was thrown at the house of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In a recent interview with Time, he reflected on the past year: "It has been a painful personal experience. Clearly, people hate data centres—right now, at least. People are pretty negative on AI."Does that mean OpenAI is packing it in, and going home? Well, no. The AI infrastructure buildout is...
Nitro VG270K L1: was $229.99 now $159.99This is on the budget end of 4K monitors, and in some ways you can feel it. 72 Hz at 4K is very low as far as refresh rates go, but still, getting 4K for a decent bit under $200 would have felt near impossible not that long ago, and now you're doing it with a decent size and fast response rate. Key specs:...
One of the significant differences between most historical Total Wars and the Warhammer games is that the factions aren't comparable with nations. In Total War: Warhammer 40,000, the Space Marines and Astra Militarum, for instance, are effectively two branches of the same military. So when I was playing Total War 40k at Gamescom as the Ultramarines, I noticed that my settlement garrison was full of just ordinary soldiers—members of the...
