Elden Ring release day may be "a hellscape" according to Dark Souls 3 security modder

Cheaters may have a head start from previous Souls games

Oh noes! C’mon FROM/BN, this shouldn’t be such an ongoing, unresolved issue. Same goes for enemy attacks clipping through walls!

Can I get a Fromsoft game that doesn't allow random shitheads to come in and ruin everything I'm trying to do?

Speaking from experience (I messed around with a save in DS3 and got perma-banned lol), the anti-cheat system should be able to crack these mofos down. As long as the legit players act accordingly, i.e. not picking up free items, shut the game down immediately when encountering a cheater, etc, I think it'll be just fine.

It's finally official: Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming

Rockstar has confirmed that a new Grand Theft Auto is 'well underway.'

www.pcgamer.com

Given how much of a douche Rockstar/T2 is, i have no faith in this at all.

I’m willing to bet this is gonna be GTAO expanded, with monetization unlike anything we’ve seen before, nft-based, no single player, subscription, $60 bullshit

Google Stadia has reportedly been demoted, but it might show up in your Peloton

Bungie and Capcom might be interested, too.

I think the real question is: Stadia was still around?

Crikees it’s like Naughty Dog is taking cues from Rockstar with milking games. Three games being worked on and two of them are apparently a TLoU remake and TLoU2 MP. The third better be a new IP or I won’t even be watching a trailer.

I quit Naughty Dog after Uncharted 4. Nothing excites me from them. I already made my feelings clear on TLOUS. The only reason I even bother posting this was just to spread the word and nothing more.

That moment when you need clicks but the game you're covering is so unknown you obfuscate the article title and throw in some well known games in the first paragraph.

Ubisoft gives its Ghost Recon Breakpoint team an NFT cap

Ubisoft has reportedly awarded the efforts of its Ghost Recon Breakpoint development team with an NFT Ghost Recon 20th …

*Reaches for emergency nausea bag*

There is so much wrong with this, where to even begin? No need to worry about dystopian 'company scrip' now we have the NFT grift pummeled into high gear!

Ubisoft has reportedly awarded the efforts of its Ghost Recon Breakpoint development team with an NFT Ghost Recon 20th anniversary cap.

After hosting a workshop held to assuage concerns about the company's pivot to NFTs - non-fungible tokens recorded in blockchains - Ubisoft reportedly issued the tokens as a thank you for the Breakpoint team's sustained efforts to improve the beleaguered shooter.


Ubisoft announced Quartz, its NFT platform for big-budget games, last December, revealing that players could resell in-game items with unique codes stamped on. And now it's allegedly using that same platform to gift NFTs to its staff, too.

"With the opening of the Ubisoft Quartz platform in December, we thought of creating an exclusive Digit for you, the 'Ghost Recon 20th-anniversary cap!'" the company reportedly announced to its staff via a statement seen by Kotaku.

"If you want to receive this exclusive Digit [Ubisoft's internal term for an NFT], we will inject it into your crypto-wallet on the 9th of March."

Earlier this week, Tom reported that Ubisoft bosses allegedly believe the company is getting in early on this "paradigm shift in gaming" but its players just "don't get it".

"I think gamers don't get what a digital secondary market can bring to them," Nicolas Pouard, VP at Ubisoft's Strategic Innovations Lab said at the time. "For now, because of the current situation and context of NFTs, gamers really believe it's first destroying the planet and second just a tool for speculation. But what we [at Ubisoft] are seeing first is the end game. The end game is about giving players the opportunity to resell their items once they're finished with them or they're finished playing the game itself.

"So, it's really, for them. It's really beneficial. But they don't get it for now."

Remember that BIG update that was supposed to add scoreboard, something that was gonna be HUGE? Yeah, it's been delayed
They know the game is shit, but also know they can't shut down the game or stop the support either because that would enrage the player base even more. They really are stuck between a rock and a hard place
