Streamer who beat Elden Ring with her mind is now schooling Halo and Valorant players

If there’s one thing that has in spades, it would be mysteries — plenty of which stand to be solved in the DLC. FromSoftware’s storytelling leans heavily on intrigue, encouraging players to go on deep dives into the lore to attempt to piece together the open threads and enigmas presented throughout the game. This is partially what makes the Soulsborne games so great, and might be the best example yet. However, a few answers would go a long way in clarifying some of the more puzzling secrets in the lore.

Cyberpunk 2077 is back and better than ever following CD Projekt Red’s release of the 2.0 update and new expansion, Phantom Liberty. With all of the recently added content, fans have been exploring Night City and Phantom Liberty’s gritty Dogtown in search of easter eggs and clever references. The developer did in fact hide some such secrets with the DLC’s launch, and some of them refer back to CD Projekt Red’s other iconic game, The Witcher 3.

Generally speaking FromSoft’s games are synonymous with difficulty, and the “tough but fair” approach to combat has been applauded by gamers looking for a challenge. There’s certainly a masochistic appeal to getting your ass kicked for not pushing the buttons real good, but that’s really just one facet of a larger design philosophy: these games have faith that players will figure out how they work.

The worlds of Armored Core 6 and Elden Ring couldn’t be any further apart. FromSoftware’s robot game is set in a neo-futuristic universe, which is a far cry from the high fantasy universe of The Lands Between. But what if we took Elden Ring‘s Tarnished and thrust them into the bowels of Armored Core 6’s titular Rubicon 3? Well, one modder has done just that.

Elden Ring is not an easy game, but it’s now been proven that with enough tenacity, even a goldfish can have what it takes to become Elden Lord, as one aquatic friend has beaten not one, but two of the game’s main bosses.

When Space Marine 2 was first announced, its debut trailer led players to believe the biggest enemy to fight would be the hungry hordes of Tyranids swarming the Imperium. They’re still a major threat, but the latest gameplay trailer revealed the game’s other antagonist: the Thousand Sons, servants of the God of Change. But who are these bad guys, exactly, and why are they such a threat to Titus and the Imperium of Man?

EA has now confirmed that The Sims 5, or Project Rene, will be free to play, and while it will still sell content packs, the game could also launch with features traditionally locked behind Sims DLC. 

Twitch streamer Perrikaryal has been using nothing but her mind to shoot up her enemies in Halo Infinite. Also, a psychology researcher, Perrikaryal, has swapped out her Xbox wireless controller for an electroencephalogram (EEG). 

Love hurts — just ask The Wheel of Timeprotagonist Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski). In season 1 of the Prime Video fantasy series, Rand effectively walked out on his childhood crush, Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden), after finally owning up to his destiny as the prophesized world savior/destroyer, the Dragon Reborn. The former sheep herder’s love life only gets worse in season 2, after he seeks solace in a rebound fling with Selene (Natasha O’Keeffe): an entrancing innkeeper who shows her true — and decidedly terrifying — colors in season 2’s fourth episode, “Daughter of the Night.”

After launching on PlayStation yesterday, Baldur's Gate 3 has now overtaken Elden Ring to become the best-reviewed PS5 game of all time.

An veteran Elden Ring player discovered a new summon after 900 hours, and others are sounding off with their most obscure summoning experiences.

Among the feats a new player of FromSoftware's Souls or Souls-adjacent fantasy games must perform is conquering your fear of giants. From the Stray Demons of Dark Souls through Bloodborne's Cleric Beast to the dragons of Elden Ring, you must learn not to be awed by creatures who look they could kill you with a sneeze. You must learn to run towards that titanic knight with the enormous shield, rolling between its colossal ankles, using its stature against it. You must learn to see past the visual overkill of a swing that would surely fell a skyscraper, registering only the effects on your poise and health bar. It's a learning curve, for sure, and that makes the modding of mechs from Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon into Elden Ring a little more than the usual act of mischievous fanservice.
