Each year, you’ll have a bunch of games that ride the hype and marketing train....

Right. I am an expert on two things in this world: The Witcher, and Guinness. That puts me in a uniquely qualified position to determine whether Geralt orders a pint of plain - that’s what we call Guinness in Ireland - whenever he goes into one of Skellige’s finest boozers. After a lengthy period of about two seconds deliberating on the matter, I can officially conclude that yes, Geralt of Rivia does, in fact, scull lovely pints of Vitamin G on the weekends....

It has a compelling story, an extremely satisfying gameplay loop, gorgeous visuals, and a dedication to creating a historically accurate representation of Japanese history.

Sucker Punch Productions, the studio responsible for developing Ghost of Tsushima, has now made an appearance in that subreddit to personally thank them for their support....

Redditor lys1030 has figured out how to fly in Ghost of Tsushima, but the method has some major drawbacks. For starters, players cannot control the direction they move with this method, making it useless for travel, secondly, it can only be used in specific areas in Tsushima at certain points in the story, and finally, it looks really painful. Of course, fans of Ghost of Tsushima know that there is no actual way to fly in the game, but depending on how one defines flight, this could count....

This article is presented by: Often I tell my friends that if the 15 year old version of myself could know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe or that there have been three Archie-inspired TV series or that Watchmen was given a television sequel that enhances/surpasses(?) the graphic novel his head would explode.

This article contains The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker spoilers. Picking up right where James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad left off, Peacemaker was a profane, hilarious, and brutally violent exploration of the weirder side corners of the DCEU that fleshed out the world of ARGUS and Task Force X. It even brought some new depth to Amanda Waller as a bonus. Like Gunn’s DC movie, Peacemaker wasn’t afraid to revel in some obscure DC Comics references and by implication expand the boundaries of the DCEU (Green Arrow!...

Players that are having trouble in seasons because they do not have high-rated cards need to give the following players a shot....

They’re typically designed to put players’ skills to the ultimate test and can help to prolong the game’s life expectancy by quite a bit as well.

There are some enemies, however, that the majority of players will never encounter....
