Developer Guerrilla Games has rolled out a  massive patch  for  Horizon Forbidden West , purporting to fix more than a dozen quests, plus a litany of minor hiccups. It also aims to make the game less shimmery. Those who made it through the era of  puddlegate   unscathed  should rejoice. Horizon Forbidden West , released last month for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, is the sequel to  the best open-world game of 2017 . Like its predecessor, you, as a young woman named Aloy, explore a 31st-century post-apocalyptic America in search of an artificial intelligence program. Along the way, you use futuristic bows and arrows to hunt robots modeled after prehistoric beasts. It rules. Since launch, players have taken umbrage with the game’s shimmering—essentially, that some objects, the fauna in particular, look as if you’re viewing them through the glass wall of an aquarium. Players say it’s more noticeable in  Horizon ’s performance mode, which runs the game at a constant 60fps frame rate a

  Yesterday, was a pretty rough one for Switch owners, with Nintendo announcing the delay of  The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 . On a more positive note, it at least gives Nintendo more time to make this anticipated release even better. The only problem we have now is that the Switch could be without a Zelda game for 2022. So what can Nintendo do about this? As usual, social media has chimed in, and there are calls for the company to port  Wind Waker  and  Twilight Princess  to the hybrid platform.

  It’ll run through April 7, 2022 The 2022 Return to Yharnam annual Bloodborne community event is now underway, and will run through April 7. Hosted by the community Discord, the open-ended community-centric activity is a way to get people playing and talking about  Bloodborne  again for a few weeks, and as a participant: it’s usually a blast. The event is completely “play your way,” in the sense that you can just boot up the game, enjoy it at your pace (for the first time, or a repeat run), and sign off. But as usual, there’s a few extra things you can do to spice things up that the event runners encourage others to partake in: Create a brand new character and co-op and PVP whenever able Change your matchmaking to worldwide to interact with as many people as possible Leave the message “you’re in the know, right?” next to the bath messengers in the hub area and upvote when possible While  Bloodborne  is a fantastic game, I wish it was on more platforms. It just goes to show you the ind

  "The first challenge - and we knew this from the start - was that Kirby's character design was not a perfect fit for full 3D gameplay," he said. "Kirby's silhouette is perfectly round. When you're controlling him from behind, it can be hard to tell which direction he's facing at a glance." Perhaps that's one of the reasons Mouthful Mode was implemented - after all, Carby has an easily recognisable shape. As level designer Yuki Endo says: "From the perspective of creating new gameplay experiences, Mouthful Mode had a kind of intuitive visual appeal for our players." Associate producer Kei Ninomiya adds: "It was also appealing to us in terms of visual design. Because it would be in 3D, we imagined seeing Kirby in these bizarre shapes from all kinds of angles." The developers made a number of adjustments to ease players into 3D gameplay. One of these is ensuring that attacks hit enemies, even if the aim is slightly off. Says Ka

  The racer’s latest patch (version 1.07) has reduced the payout of several races, while fixing two late-game races that were being used to farm credits due to a bug. At launch, VGC reported that some of Gran Turismo 7’s cars cost as much as eight times what they did on Gran Turismo Sport, if purchased using real money. While many racing games feature microtransactions, some of the more high-end cars in GT7 are so expensive that they require a significant amount of gameplay to obtain enough credits to buy them via normal means (with some cars potentially taking dozens of hours of racing). Other cars (most notably high value ‘legendary’ cars) also rotate in and out of the various shops in the game, a tactic that could be perceived as the ‘FOMO’ effect – encouraging players to top up their in-game currency with real money so they’re able to afford a certain car before it’s gone. On top of this, unlike in previous games in the series, players are unable to sell their cars to earn credits.

  If you’re an overeager (or overly violent)  Elden Ring  player, then you might have  killed a few NPCs  here and there without realizing that they were actually crucial to a quest, or that they were holding on to an important item. Have no fear: Some slain NPCs are not permanently dead, or even permanently mad. To wipe the slate clean, all you have to do is pay a visit to the Church of Vows and say “sorry, my bad” for killing them. Okay, it’s slightly more complicated than that. But not  that  much more. Just head to the crumbled church in Eastern  Liurnia , just west of the Ainsel River Well (or slightly south of the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel). You’ll be greeted by the giant tortoise Miriel, who is identifiable by her adorable pope hat. But you don’t actually need   to talk to her. What you’re really looking for is the statue of Lady Rennala in the back. By offering a consumable called the “Celestial Dew” to the statue of the fair lady, you’ll be able to revive your victims and ca

  A key element to being successful in  Elden Ring  is earning as many runes as possible and then spending those runes to level up one's skills. Doing so will make conquering  Elden Ring 's many challenging bosses significantly easier, though getting runes isn't always the easiest thing in the world. Luckily, there are ways that  Elden Ring  players can farm for runes and level up fast, though one of the best methods does take some footwork. YouTuber RageGamingVideos has uploaded a helpful tutorial explaining how  Elden Ring  players can farm nearly 5 million runes in just one hour. Those that have the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace unlocked in Mohgwyn Palace can head there immediately, but others will likely have to do some prep work first. As explained in the video, the first thing players will want to do is speak with White-Faced Varre after defeating Godrick the Grafted. When that conversation is done,  Elden Ring  players should head to the Church of the Rose
