The idea of punching a guy in the butt has always made me smile. Why not kick them in the balls instead? To make the effort to get down there and punch that butt would be such a weird decision, especially in a high stakes battle of life and death. InSkullgirls, punching people in the butt makes a little more sense, because there are no balls in the game to speak of (yet)....
Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play some Team Fortress 2 on theofficial Destructoid server! You should join us! As our good friend Mr Andy Dixon saidlast weekI’m in running this show now. Don’t be afraid, I’m almost as handsome as he is and approximately half as charming! I’ll be on tonight, ready to shoot you in the dick so hit the jump for the details!...
New video shows a lot of the additional content It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. Early in 2012, developer Re-Logic said it wouldstop supporting the title with new free updates, then this year it surprised us withnews of another patch. The time is almost upon us, asTerrariav1.2 is set to release on October 1. The video above shows off a lot of the new content, including the previously seenangled terrain and fluid physics....

[Every Friday, Destructoid will pose topical a question to the community. Answer it if you want!] Last night,we heard that— perhaps unsurprisingly —Metal Gear Solid 5is on the cards. Not long after the news dropped, I was asked by several people whether I felt the sequel was necessary and I figured I’d send the question along to you lot. Metal Gear Solid 4wrapped up a lot of plot threads, while leaving several doors open....
A grim accounting With the current exchange rate,the $799 Vivewill cost roughly $1099 in Canadian dollars where I live (not counting taxes and any extra charges). That’s a whole lot of cash. While I’m as excited as anyone else at the idea of stumbling around my living room and tripping over the coffee table while slaying demons or shooting space marines, that kind of expense gives me pause. When I start to think of all the things in my life that cost less than first-generation VR, it paints a very grim picture....
I want to build a shrine to the 8800GT Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampellahas sharedthe minimum system requirements forTitanfallon PC and they’re quite low, at least to my eyes: It’s really just the 64-bit requirement, then. But we’ve had years and years to get ready for that. It’ll be much more interesting to see where the recommended specs end up forTitanfall— I’m expecting those to fall toward the lower end as well....
Ubisoft has been doing pretty well for themselves lately. With massive sales ofAssassin’s Creedlast year leading the charge to a doubling of yearly earnings and the recent reboot ofPrince of Persiaearning high praise from critics, you would think that they’d be moving quickly to capitalize on their success. Not so, says Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America, in a recent conversation withForbes. After making the observation that the two sequels to the last-gen blockbusterPrince of Persia: Sands of Timefailed to produce similar sales numbers, the developer has come to the realization that churning out a sequel to a successful franchise every year might not be the best strategy....
Keys were purchased with stolen credit cards Just over a week after Ubisoft deactivated digital copies ofFar Cry 4purchased throughvarious third-party resellers, the publisher has reactivated copies of the game that have been played in some capacity and has permanently deactivated the rest. Apparently, the codes in question had been purchasedfrom Originusing stolen credit cards, leading to the mass deactivation. “We are working with EA to prevent situations like this from happening again, and we will continue to deactivate keys that are found to be fraudulently obtained and resold,” Ubisoft said in a statement toGame Informer....
Of course you do For some games that have elaborate stories or lots of spoiler points, I tend to avoid any and all coverage if possible. I like going in completely blind, like the bosses of theSoulsseries for example. For oher titles, I like saturating everything I can beforehand; I remember my excitement forDevil May Cry 4was so great that I watched the same one-minute gameplay clip on my PC at least 100 times....
It’s still ‘coming soon’ just like the other versions So, Stadia announced a bunch of games today that are coming to the platform as part of the “Stadia Makers” program, and one caught my eye. Snoochie boochies! The dynamic duo of Jay and Silent Bob are back in beat ’em up form, withJay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch.So as I intimated in the header,Chronic Blunt Punchhas been around for a while: it’s not a brand new Stadia exclusive thing....
Co-op adventure headed to PS4 [Update:Inti Creates has officially announced thatDragon Marked for Deathwill launch digitally on PS4 July 22. (Via Gematsu)] It would appear that Inti Creates’ mythic platformerDragon Marked for Deathis preparing to take flight on PS4 at some point in the near future, after a PlayStation Store database entry was discovered by top-tier leakersGamestat. Originally launching on Nintendo Switch in January 2019, (although having been on the cards since way back in 2010),Dragon Marked for Deathallows up to four players to venture into the hazardous Kingdom of Medius, on a mission to rescue their abducted oracle and restore the legacy of their noble Dragonblood Clan....
