How a Dongle and a Re-Roll Got Me to Try Bungie’s MMO Again

Player housing in Shards Online is unique for many reasons. The biggest reason is because your house and the decorations/furniture/trophies you put inside it are more real than in other MMOs.

You will hire NPCs to work on your land as guards, merchants, or even an apprentices to your craft.

Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- Heading to Consoles in Spring 2016

If there’s any question on the minds of many Guilty Gear players, it’s when the game’s latest version, Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-, will be hitting home consoles.

According to Inside Games, Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sometime in the first half of 2016. Arc System Works’ continued support for the older platform should be great news for players who have yet to upgrade.

While this date only concerns a Japanese release, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- arrived in North America less than two weeks after its initial release, so there’s hope this carries over to the upcoming title.

In addition to updated gameplay mechanics, -REVELATOR- introduces veterans Johnny and Jam Kuradoberi and newcomer Jack-O to the playable cast. A fourth character is expected, based off a fan vote that begins in arcades later this month.
