Everyone has a fighting chance
If you want to keep the holiday cheer going, then be sure to stop by DLGamer, the official retailer for Guild Wars 2, to check out a screaming deal on a Heart of Thorns + Path of Fire combo pack for 40% off. If you already own one or the other, you can pick up either Heart of Thorns (33% off) or Path of Fire (33% off). Those are just a couple of examples of how you can save big money on some of today’s best games.
ATLAS went into early access this last week, and it wasn’t a smooth show by any means. Red Thomas takes a look at the game post-madness and explores why some of the early reviews may be wrong about the game.
It’s been nearly eight years since Path of Exile went into closed beta testing. Since the week is slow due to the holidays, Grinding Gear devs have put up a cool article that is very much a walk down Memory Lane. In a series of videos with developer commentary, viewers can get a look at the game along various points in its development starting with a gameplay clip that shows combat during 2011’s closed beta test.
From today through December 31st, Star Trek Online captains can face off against the Tzenkethi during a special Red Alert event. During the Tzenkethi Red Alert, teams of five are tasked with stopping the “genocidal Tzenkethi” from unleashing a super weapon at unprepared planets.
The launch of Fallout 76 has been… well let’s just say that I doubt it went the way Bethesda was hoping. But as a fan of two MMOs that have really turned things around through communication and perseverance (FFXIV and ESO), I’m hopeful that 2019 could bring good things to Fallout 76. It’s not a quick road back to the good graces of angry gamers, but the following is a list of things that I’d like to see from the dev team in the new year.
With all the eggnog now thoroughly sipped and Santa Claus back at the North Pole, it’s time to start thinking about what 2019 will hold. I know the Wizard101 community is still hoping for a 7th character slot and a renaming feature (among countless other things) as far as in-game additions go, but today I wanted to focus on my more personal 2019 game ambitions.
Grand Theft Auto Online is all about dominating the competition and mob-rule. With the latest Arena War addition of Bomb Ball, the niceties of soccer are thrown out the window for vehicular mayhem with a purpose. From now through January 14th, players taking part in Arena War can earn Double GTA$ and RP.
Battlestate Games has sent out a brand new video to showcase some of the changes coming to Escape from Tarkov. Most notably, players will have the new Terragroup location to explore along with a number of new weapons and equipment, “Killa” scav boss and more. In addition, the team has promised a large number of bug fixes, technical improvements and feature enhancements.
Nexon has sent out a 3 minute teaser trailer for an upcoming “online 3D action RPG” called “Project BBQ”. The game is being built by Neople using the Unreal Engine 4. The developers should sound familiar as Neople is the same studio behind the wildly popular Dungeon Fighter Online. The video shows off a number of environments, “character’s skills and battle sequences”. You can’t miss the DFO feel coming from what is shown.
If you own a PC copy of Fallout 76 and have logged in to the game before the end of 2018, you’ll be pleased to hear that Bethesda is providing you with a copy of the Fallout Classic Collection for free. Think of it as sort of an “apology without anyone actually saying they’re sorry” kind of thing or just as a nicely unexpected holiday gift. According to the Bethesda Twitter, “the entitlement is expected to go live in early January”.
