Sega's Like A Dragon Direct happened in the early hours for us UK netizens last night, which meant I woke up today to an absolute heap of flaming hot Yakuza news. Not only is Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth launching on January 24th next year, it's taking Ichiban and co. to the sunny island of Hawaii! Kiryu's back and in a battle with his biggest adversary yet. And you can become an unhinged Pokémon master, among many, many other things. We're so back. We're so effing back.
Everyone liked that: Starfield borrows the fan-favorite Fallout 76 feature that turns your screenshots into load screens
02.09.2023 - 00:19 / gamesradar.com
Now that Starfield is out in the wild, players are finding all sorts of subtle details Bethesda added into the game but didn't necessarily bake into its pre-release marketing. One such feature is actually a carryover from Fallout 76, and it randomly selects screenshots from your photo mode library to use as loading screens.
Considering just how many loading screens you'll have to deal with in Starfield, this is a really neat way of not only making that downtime a little more interesting, but also incentivizing you to make good use of the game's in-depth photo mode. I typically don't bother much with photo modes in games mostly for the fact that there's usually zero utility in it, but I could see this feature being the thing that gets me to really play around with filters, poses, etc.
Another little tidbit about the game that's pretty much universally liked is the robot companion Vasco, who you can program to say your name when addressing you - well, so long as your name is somewhere on this list. GamesRadar's UK managing editor Josh West has been particularly delighted by Starfield's lovable companion referring to him as "Captain Josh," and we all just love that for him.
The much broader picture around Starfield's reception is that it's largely getting rave reviews. Our Starfield review awarded Bethesda's latest a perfect 5/5 stars, calling it "the best thing Bethesda's done since Oblivion," and its Metacritic rating positions it just below Skyrim but comfortably above Fallout 4.
Whether you've already played for a few hours or are planning on blasting off soon, here are some handy Starfield tips to familiarize yourself with.

A Haunting in Venice turns an Agatha Christie mystery into Scooby-Doo (and it rules)
Actor-director Kenneth Branagh is clearly having the best time with his Hercule Poirot movies. The latest, A Haunting in Venice, marks Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green’s third take on Agatha Christie’s iconic detective, after 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and 2022’s Death on the Nile. It’s also the loosest adaptation of the three of them by far. In the new movie, Branagh breaks all the adaptation rules. He smashes genres together. He goes fully over the top, which is exactly the direction that his Christie adaptations have been rolling toward. Branagh finally breaks free, making A Haunting in Venice the best entry in the series to date.
