News Horizon: Zero Dawn Update Lowers the Difficulty for Casual Fans
All the fun, less frustration
Horizon: Zero Dawn has been a hit with hardcore gamers – but it’s also resonated with more casual players, too. Aloy is an outstanding character who’s pulled all kinds of players in, but not everyone’s able to beat Bloodborne with their elbows while wearing a blindfold. As such, Guerrilla Games is prepping the...

News Final Fantasy XV's Free Power Ranger Suits Make You Invincible for 30 Minutes
They're launching this month
Final Fantasy XV is a really weird game, isn't it? Square Enix has been adding to the role-playing title for months now, implementing relatively minor bits of downloadable content here and there - and just about everything that's been added has had us scratching our heads. Next on the agenda is a set of suits that...

News Tekken 7 PS4 Patch 1.03 Brings Big Improvements to Online Ranked Battles
About time
Tekken 7 has been out for around a month now, and despite a couple of minor updates, PlayStation 4 players still aren't completely happy with the game's online matchmaking. In our experience it's solid enough for the most part, but there are times when it seems to take an eternity to find another player to fight against. Thankfully,...

E3 2017 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Will Loot a PS4 Pro Update
CD Projekt RED confirms
We took CD Projekt RED to task yesterday when it revealed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be updated for Xbox One X, after it had insinuated previously that it didn’t have time to support the PlayStation 4 Pro. Fortunately, it looks like the Polish developer has had a total change of heart, and will support Sony’s...

News Mass Effect: Andromeda PS4 Patch 1.08 Makes Jaal Bisexual, Fixes a Few Things
More bang for your buck
BioWare has detailed Mass Effect: Andromeda's next patch. Update 1.08 doesn't contain the biggest list of fixes that we've ever seen, but there may be a few points of interest for those still playing the game. The headline here is that the patch allows for Angaran squadmate Jaal to be romanced by male Ryder. Previously, Jaal...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda's Cutscene Gun Can Now Be Used in the Game, But It's Crap
Great thanks
So you know that gun that characters are sometimes holding in Mass Effect: Andromeda's cutscenes? Well following the title's most recent update, it's now available to craft and use in-game.

News Mass Effect: Andromeda PS4 Patch Will Address More Problems Tomorrow
We just don't know which right now
It’s been over a month since Mass Effect: Andromeda’s awful eyes were improved, and we’d like to think that BioWare’s been busy behind-the-scenes. The good news is that it’s launching a new patch for its maligned role-playing game tomorrow (or potentially today depending on your timezone); the bad news is...

News Watch Dogs 2's Biggest Ever Update Drops This Month
Adds PvP, online races, more
Watch Dogs 2 garnered a decent amount of praise when it launched late last year, but its arrival didn't really set the world alight. Although it's commonly considered to be a sequel that improves upon just about everything that its predecessor got right, it released in a crowded period and was unfortunately overlooked by...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Patch 1.13 Cleans Up Remaining Complaints
Background music support incorporated
One thing that's perhaps gone unmentioned with regards to Horizon: Zero Dawn is just how polished the experience was at launch.

News A Bunch of Mass Effect: Andromeda Bugs Are Being Worked On
Face off
Only adding fuel to the 'wait six months before you buy it' debate, Mass Effect: Andromeda launched in a sorry state last week.

A list of known bugs has been posted over on...

News Nintendo Fans Allegedly Force Change to NieR: Automata Troll Item
NIN64
