Every year the release of the latest FIFA video game is one of the most anticipated moments of the video gaming year. The series has proven to be one of the most popular of all time, especially within the sporting world. With all the soccer seasons now wrapped up after a very long season, the expectation and anticipation is incredibly high for the new game. But after the 2019/20 season, which ten soccer stars will end up with the highest ratings this year?...

If you have played a Final Fantasy game, then chances are that you have come in contact with a carbuncle. Depending on the game, you may have different associations with them. What ties them all together though is that they are magical creatures with red gems in their foreheads. Despite being in so many Final Fantasy games, a lot of fans do not know much about carbuncles. If you search the word “carbuncle,” you may come to regret it since carbuncle is also a word for a cluster of boils....

MMORPG’s opened a whole new world to gamers when they arrived, both figuratively and literally, allowing players to discover a whole new virtual reality while enjoying their favorite features of RPG games alongside their online companions. Though they were small in number when the genre began, as well as limited in gameplay and graphics, these games have come a long way since. Two such MMORPGs that are boasting a large player base at present are Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and The Elder Scrolls Online, both of which have had several expansions added since their initial release and continue to provide enjoyable content for their players....

Introduced in patch 5.3, The Heroes Gauntlet is a pretty memorable journey. It ties most of the places the player visited in the Shadowbringers expansion together in a single dungeon. The players get to run through Amh Areang, Ill Meg, and finally Lakeland. Compared to some other dungeons, this one is quite cinematic so it is worth taking your time to explore and enjoy on your first run. The three bosses your party will face are not that difficult, but do have some mechanics worth knowing to avoid a party wipe....

The people who haven’t touched Final Fantasy 14 in over a month can play for free for four days soon, as part of a Free Login campaign for the game. Final Fantasy 14 has been a source of solace during the lockdown period, as it has allowed people to hang out with their friends and loved ones in the realm of Eorzea, when it was dangerous to see each other in real life....

Final Fantasy 15, despite all of its innovations, is still a game that is very much aware of its roots. Square Enix’s ground-breaking JRPG contains countless references to the games that came before it, and many of those Easter eggs are relevant items or quest chains that reward players for both their time and their past knowledge of the Final Fantasy series. The release of Final Fantasy 15’s Episode Gladiolus DLC has thankfully continued that trend as well, with a few neat references to Final Fantasy lore and one gigantic inclusion as the final boss of the DLC’s lone linear dungeon setting....

Since the announcement of Final Fantasy XVI during the PlayStation 5 showcase, fans have been clamoring for news regarding the newest title in the JRPG franchise. Although fans have to wait for news, some have started generating their own wishlists. Many have differing opinions over what they would personally want from this game. Let’s focus on some of the things that could be seen in the upcoming title while also talking about things that wouldn’t be wanted from a certain standpoint....

Naoki Hamaguchi, the co-director of 2020’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake, says he was greatly influenced influenced by Horizon: Zero Dawn, an action RPG developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2017. In an article published on the PlayStation Blog, Hamaguchi said Zero Dawn’s world and visuals were s big influence on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and he expects the game to have a similar evolution to the forthcoming sequel Horizon Forbidden West, scheduled to be released for PS 4 and PS5 this year....

Sitting down to play Final Fantasy 7 in 2019 is a surreal experience. At E 2019, Square Enix prepared a small slice of gameplay from the upcoming remake, which we now know will encompass the Midgar section in its first episode. For our Final Fantasy 7 Remake E3 2019 demo, we were able to play a short sequence that saw Cloud and Barret descending a series of platforms, fighting a few soldiers along the way, before eventually facing off with a boss at the Mako reactor....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s director, Tetsuya Nomura, confirms that the iconic Cloud cross-dressing scene from the original game will be included in Remake. Square Enix has created a bit of a stir by changing up some key components of the original Final Fantasy VII in their upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, not everything is changing, as the director is reassuring fans that the legendary Cloud cross-dressing scene will return....

Last month, I had the opportunity to check out the Flexispot Ergonomic Gaming Desk With Mouse Pad which immediately replaced my tiny, outdated IKEA workstation – a move that was long overdue. Flexispot restored my appreciation for having a decent workspace, with the gaming desk having now found a permanent position in my basement studio. That, however, left a gaping space in my office where most of my actual work gets done....

Fortnite’s Chapter 2 map just keeps getting new secrets to uncover, and the series of bunker hatches is no different. Did you know these were here before now? I sure didn’t, but now we have the locations of each and every single one so you can narrow them down and find where they are, whether that’s for an upcoming event, or just because your challenges demand you do so, as they tend to do....

Fortnite’s weekly challenges for Week 6 of Season 4 offer a wide variety of actions and activities for players to complete. Fortnite is still in the midst of its massive Season 4 Marvel crossover event and while some challenges pertain to the event, most of the others are fairly standard challenges for Fortnite. One of the challenges this week is a bit specific, tasking players with consuming foraged items at the Holly Hedges location....

Fortnite’s Week 9 challenges are here, and this time players are tasked with gassing up a car at Catty Corner. This serves a double purpose, as it acts both as a challenge and an introduction to the Fortnite’s recently added cars found throughout the map. As a challenge, though, it is pretty easy. Fortnite added cars earlier this month, and fans have been enjoying the new feature so far. This challenge should help those that haven’t experimented with them yet further familiarize themselves....

Fortnite is now offering a select group of players access to the Bhangra Boogie emote, but the method of qualifying will seem rather strange to some. In order to get the exclusive emote, players need to own a qualifying OnePlus phone and account, otherwise they are out of luck for the time being. This is not the first time that Fortnite has partnered with a phone company, as there was another set of exclusives limited to Samsung users a while back....

Fortnite’s season 7 week 4 challenges require players to complete a variety of tasks, as usual. These challenges range from setting off fireworks to destroying certain wood items and searching for certain letters to earning eliminations at expedition outposts. For those late to the party, an expedition outpost is a red building that usually houses planes and can be found near ziplines. To complete this week’s challenges and earn a total of 10 battle stars, players will need to find and eliminate other players at three of these outposts....

Epic Games’ Fortnite team recently announced that the game now has video chat for players to view each other while playing the game by using the Houseparty app. Just as Fortnite gets a new bundle, players will be able to visually connect with each other while playing in-game events. Fortnite has video chat now because Epic Games had acquired the Houseparty app last year and integrated the app’s video chat technology to use with the game....

Fortnite has always been known for its incredible crossovers, and one of the most beloved Fortnite crossovers was when John Wick was added to the game. With that in mind, the Russo brothers tweeted a picture of Tyler Rake and John Wick side by side, which got Epic Creative Director Donald Mustard pitching the idea of Tyler Rake joining Fortnite. Extraction was released on Netflix on April 24th, produced by and starring Chris Hemsworth....

Not too long ago, Epic Games and People Can Fly added a limited-time match style for the sandbox survival title Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode dubbed “Sneaky Silencers,” which pits players against one another to see who can take the crown with only the use of silenced weapons. Now, it looks as if the update has been a huge hit with the free-to-play mode’s PS4 fans, with streams of the game on Sony’s current generation console more than doubling those of Call of Duty: WW2 and Grand Theft Auto 5 combined....

Jean is one of the most well-known five starts in Genshin Impact as she is the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favionius in Mondstadt. She is an important part of the story, and her trial run shows just how useful she can be at dealing with threats in a creative way. Jean is also a versatile hero who can be used in many different ways, depending on what the player currently needs for their team....
