I’ll be real with you, there’s a lot to play right now. The fall season of releases is in full swing and is especially full of heavyweight RPGS like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which are coming down the pipeline later this month. However, if I could draw your attention away from the incoming tidal wave of fresh new role-playing games for a moment, there’s a deal on another storied Bioware RPG franchise...

Gif: Halo Studios / Microsoft / Kotaku Unreal Engine is so good at making games look hyper realistic that it’s become a meme for a certain style of uncanny fan video showing everything from The Legend of Zelda to The Simpsons remade with ultra detailed CGI effects. Well, now Halo’s Master Chief is getting that treatment for real, and the initial tease looks impressive. Halo Infinite was made with a brand-new proprietary set of game...

Image: Bandai Namco Gilbert Auchinleck, better known as Doc Harris, the man whose narration on the English version of Dragon Ball Z has reached iconic meme status over the decades, has died at age 76. News of his passing was first posted by Broadcast Dialogue, which reported Harris died on Saturday, October 5, following “minor surgery” in September. Harris worked in Canadian radio as far back as the ‘60s, but today most people likely know...

Image: Blizzard Happy Diablo IV day to all who celebrate. The action-RPG’s Vessel of Hatred expansion is finally here, though it will end up going live later than expected due to “a small issue on the backend,” Blizzard confirmed on Monday. Diablo IV – Bear Bender Build The $40 DLC arrives a year after the base game and introduces a new Spiritborn class for players to try, as well as a new area of the...

The Joker 2 (officially called Joker: Folie à Deux) is out and it’s not doing very well. Critics don’t seem to like it, audiences don’t enjoy it, and it’s not making nearly as much money as its 2019 blockbuster predecessor. And if you are a big fan of the first Joker and decided to still go see the movie after all the negative press and reviews, well, you might not have enjoyed how director Todd Phillips...

Laucnhing for everyone on Tuesday, the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team and Konami is a very well-made recreation of the original horror game. However, while some fans are complaining about certain changes made in the remake, the original game’s director is praising these tweaks online. Horror Game You’ve Never Heard Of Is Scientifically The Scariest Ever The Silent Hill 2 remake (which is out now for people who paid for “early access”) is one...

Metaphor: ReFantazio may be one of the most stylish-looking games ever made, even more so than Persona 5, the incredibly flashy Atlus RPG that preceded it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out the menus that play a huge role in establishing the visual identities of these games are very hard to make. Dragon’s Dogma 2’s New Class Is A Twirling Death Machine Longtime Persona series director Katsura Hashino was recently asked by The Verge about Metaphor: ReFantazio’s...

Over the years, Persona, Atlus’ high school social sim RPG series, has captured my heart as the quintessential “power of friendship” games. The games have meaningful things to say about human connection as they follow high schoolers trying to save the world and still study for their final exams. But even when the series has touted progressive ideals like accepting your true self and taking down corrupt systems, it’s always found a way to attack...

The build I primarily focused on, Centipede is all about poisoning and weakening your enemies, and calling upon the mighty power of the Centipede spirit to execute your poisoned foes. Unlike Jaguar, Centipede is all about damage-over-time. It’s slower to kill than Jaguar, but it’s consistent and synergistic with healing, weakening enemies, and probably the second strongest endgame build right now. Spiritborn – Centipede Skills Withering Fist is the basic Centipede ability, but when choosing...

Screenshot: Blizzard / Kotaku Once the main Vessel of Hatred story quest takes you down to Nahantu, you’ll run into the blacksmith Rahair. He wants to introduce you to his Mercenary friends, from whom you’ll select one person to follow you around and fight by your side persistently, and another who’ll show up if you perform a specific action every 20 to 30 seconds. While the narrative will put you on Neyrelle’s trail immediately after...
