But we’ll have to wait a little longer based on a statement from the official Facebook page, as news for the DLC is “not far off....

Remember those? They’re back! As the game continues to get bigger and bigger in terms of its filesize, more issues can arise.

Not so brutal Like its animals that can beturned into tender companions,Far Cry Primal‘s PC requirements had the opportunity to cause havoc. That has certainly been the case with some recent high-profile games, such asStar Wars Battlefrontand it asking for16GB RAM. A better comparison is withFar Cry 4. It might be expected that they line up perfectly given thatPrimalis built on the framework ofFar Cry 4. Surprisingly, that’s not quite the case; the two keep dancing around one another but never quite fall in sync....

Left unchecked for years, governments are just now picking up on the idea that randomly pulling a lever and getting items of varying quality is akin to gambling, and some countries are already looking to put the kibosh on it under the popular guise of “it’s for the kids....
HoYoverse has posted a newdevelopers discussiondetailing some quality-of-life changes coming soon toGenshin Impactin Version 4.2. While the developers note they are “still working on many other optimizations,” the fixes revealed below should streamline several things for long-time players. Skip prerequisites for weekly bosses First on the list is a change to how weekly bosses are unlocked inGenshin Impact. Some weekly boss domains are normally unlocked by progressing through certain quests.

It’s right in front of you Destiny 2: Lightfallis out now, but Guardians have been stumbling across some obstacles in their quest to complete all of the post-campaign missions. One such mission requires Guardians to bond withStrandsources whilst slaying enemies, but how do you bond with Strand sources after the campaign? It’s annoyingly down to some simple luck at times. The new Darkness subclass, Strand, is dotted around Neomuna but only appears for a limited amount of time before it disappears and spawns somewhere else....
