I’ve come to terms with the fact that I don’t have any grand ideas. Throw a piece of paper at me and shout “draw something” and I have no idea what will appear on the page if anything. I played the guitar every day for years, but if you ask me to play a song I’ll create a new brand of silence. I’ve hit 30, my mind has clearly degraded, and I’ve lost the childish curiosity I used to hold so dear....
A number of Game Rant writers give their personal takes on worthwhile games released in 2015 that manage to stand out amongst a sea of blockbuster releases. There’s no question that 2015 has been loaded with a variable cornucopia of noteworthy games. Everything from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to Fallout 4 have been making waves since their respective debuts, taking the industry by storm and scooping up a number of awards in the process....
One of the new rival trainers in the Isle of Armor expansion for Pokémon Sword & Shield has a bizarre secret, as she apparently tried to use Photoshop to make herself look curvier on her League Card. The Isle of Armor added a new rival trainer that the player would encounter throughout their journey. The rival is different depending on the game. Pokémon Shield players would encounter a Psychic-type trainer named Avery, while Pokémon Sword players fought a Poison-type trainer named Klara....
A brief snippet of Gears of War 4 multiplayer gameplay has surfaced, showcasing the brand new and brutal knife execution featured from within the hotly anticipated title. There are few things more glorious than a gruesome and overly gory kill – at least, that’s strictly the case when it’s directed towards a monster within the Gears of War universe. The series is very well known for several things (with one being its tightly-knit cover-based shooting mechanics), but the name of the game for the franchise has always been near-obscene amounts of gore....
In an interview with GameSpot, The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson reveals that the upcoming Gears of War 4 will have microtransactions in its multiplayer mode.

With most players now reaching the end of the Liyue chapter in Genshin Impact, the chances are that they have gotten to test out and add several different characters to their party. Even so, some characters seem to be hyped up to an incredibly overrated degree, while others are pushed aside due to the fact that they have a 4-star rating. Like as seen with Fischl, though, a four-star character can be even more powerful than a five-star, and they are much easier to pull constellations for....
As the Lantern Rite Festival in Liyue continues, there are several new world quests available for Genshin Impact players to complete.

To start the quest, players must first travel to Liyue Harbor and find Freki and Geri next to the Adventurer’s Guild. After speaking with Freki, she will explain to the player how they are currently visiting Liyue to try out the food available during the Lantern Rite Festival and would like to try releasing their own lantern....

A fair amount of new information about Google Stadia was announced during today’s Stadia Connect event, and while all of the new games and partnerships with major studios are a big deal for the streaming-based platform, there’s one new feature rolling out now that should interest anyone who wants to have an easier time getting into games with other Stadia users. When Stadia was first announced, Google teased a feature that would enable users to watch a trailer for a game and start playing that game within seconds, simply by clicking on a “Play Now” button embedded in the video....
Back in September, Google threw its hat into the game streaming service ring by announcing Project Stream, which lets users stream games directly to their Chrome browser. In 2018, Google allowed gamers to test out Project Stream by playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and 2019 could offer even more opportunities to use the service. Google CEO Sundar Pinchai teased the future of Project Stream during the company’s recent earnings call, revealing that the feedback to the initial Project Stream test was “super positive....
Fifa 21 Ultimate players know that having top tier strikers is essential in FUT Champions. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of coins on the highest rated cards, players should look for underrated players that can compete with the best cards in the game. A good striker in Ultimate Team must have good pace, finishing, and dribbling. Dozens of incredible players go unnoticed because they have a low rating or do not play in a top league....
FIFA 21’s next-gen upgrades are now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X, 24 hours ahead of schedule. Most developers have implemented a handy offer to help ease the transition from one generation of consoles to another. Titles released on both sets of consoles come with a free upgrade for anyone who plans on playing it on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or Series S. Unless you’re playing Ubisoft games in Europe where players are still having issues accessing their free upgrades....
The Final Fantasy franchise is full to the brim with memorable characters, with a lucky few being considered to be some of the most iconic characters in gaming. The series is one of the first few mainstream titles to push full-blown fantasy stories with a band of ragtag yet complex heroes, and it has continued with this trend in some style. Final Fantasy VII is perhaps the most memorable in this regard, with the entire cast being amazing in every sense of the word....
Square Enix releases two brand new screenshots detailing Cloud Strife in the presumed opening level of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, where he and Barrett take on the game’s first boss. The long awaited Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been in development for some time, and Square Enix has recently upped its efforts in showing off the progress that the studio has been making. When Square Enix last showed off a new Final Fantasy 7 Remake screenshot, the studio also included a little bit of cross-promotion between Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 7....
Final Fantasy VIII’s story isn’t winning an award anytime soon, but there’s something to be said about how it lays out subtle story beats in the visual details. Learning from the blocky animations of FFVII, FFVIII was when Square Enix figured out how to utilize the full potential for visual storytelling on the PS1, and it shows. If you pay attention to the story and the cutscenes, you’ll be able to uncover some neat subtleties they put between the lines....
A truly beautiful virtual funeral march was held within Final Fantasy XIV yesterday for a player who passed away due to COVID-19. Thousands of FFXIV players from all over the world marched in solidarity in-game for their fallen comrade. It’s a gathering that simply wouldn’t be possible in real life at the moment, but one that could still happen thanks to the incredibly powerful platform of online gaming. Images and videos of the memorial march have been making the rounds throughout social media, and people everywhere are expressing their awe over the breathtaking support and love that the gaming community can express for fellow players....
Everyone has a favorite class in Fire Emblem, that one type that makes them say, “Yeah, that’d be me, alright.” But is that an accurate self-representation, or just a projection of your desires to be someone? The beauty and drawback of Fire Emblem games are that classes connect to these wonderfully crafted characters. Often the attachment is to the characters themselves and not their stats or the weapon they use to strike down their opponent....
Earlier this week, developer Gearbox Software offered gamers their first look at their new title Battleborn in action. However, while the footage was compelling it was only a small slice of a larger pie, and left many to wonder how the full game would work. Hoping to answer those questions, Gearbox Software has today unleashed a more substantial gameplay video focused on Battleborn’s cooperative campaign. Much like the initial video, this cooperative footage is still pre-alpha gameplay, but it does help bring Battleborn’s concepts into greater focus....
