The Helldivers 2 community is a unique place, with more players boasting the ability to commit to the bit than perhaps anywhere else on the internet.

After noting that players heavily preferred to level in Nightmare Incursions, instead of exploring Azeroth or running dungeons, an attempt to promote these other methods has been made. The experience from Incursions has been significantly nerfed — from roughly 7000 experience per quest all the way down to 3000 according to a recent Reddit post. Despite the hopes that buffing Discoverer's Delight from 50% to a new 75% would make the two methods roughly on par, this change does seem to have hit Incursions particularly hard, potentially dethroning them as the fastest leveling option.

A new quest was introduced in Phase 3 of Season of Discovery, The Wild Gods, and it was discovered that completing it unlocked a new currency and vendor with powerful rewards. One of these rewards is the very powerful Breadth of the Beast trinket: While the trinket itself is very valuable with its crit and hit chance, what made it even more unique is the fact that it wasn't «Unique-Equip» — meaning you were able to have two of these trinkets equipped at the same time. This was changed with a hotfix that went live on Sunday night.

It's been nearly a week since the last Helldivers 2 balance patch, and players are still voicing their displeasure at the changes made to fire damage.

Baldur's Gate 3's Honor Mode is a truly brutal way to play the enormous RPG, with tougher foes, a single save slot, and the constant threat of having to start over if your party gets wiped.

The PTR for Diablo 4 Patch 1.4.0 is well underway, and players have been delving into the variety of content to be tested. While the new systems and content have proven to be a nice change of pace for many, some players feel that the rewards from some content leave more to be desired. One such case appears to be the new Tormented Echoes Bosses, which are supercharged level 200 versions of the ladder bosses such as Duriel, Varshan, and the new boss, Andariel. These Super Bosses drop a number of Legendary and Unique items, Summoning Materials for other bosses, and one very important reward — one Resplendent Spark for killing your first Tormented Boss. A number of players have taken issue with the rewards offered by this difficult challenge, and several have taken to social media sites and the PTR forums to address their concerns. Reddit user Oceanfather created a post on the Diablo 4 Subreddit about this topic, mentioning the much steeper material requirement to summon the empowered bosses such as Tormented Grigiore. The problem is, when a boss is slain, they drop the same amount of Shard of Agony as their normal counterpart. This creates a situation where if you wish to get materials to summon Duriel or Andariel, it is currently more economical to repeatedly farm the normal, less challenging, and less rewarding version of these bosses. Blizzard has since responded to the post, stating that there will be some degree of changes coming to the rewards of Tormented Echo Bosses.

Helldivers 2 has supply lines that connect Super Earth to liberated planets. You can then follow the supply lines to Automaton and Terminid worlds to capture them. However, if a liberated planet's supply lines are cut off from Super Earth, it'll quickly fall into enemy hands.

The worlds of Tarot and may not seem like they have much in common but one talented fan has found a way to unite them with a collection of gorgeous cards themed around Ghost-Types. Whether it's the inherently spooky nature of the creatures or their generally decent stats and abilities, Ghost-Type Pokémon have always been popular amongst the community. Nothing may top the love people have for Pikachu, but Gengar, Mimikyu, and Aegislash have all garnered passionate fans who can now see them immortalized as stunning predictions of the future.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is pretty fantastic - I'm sure you'll struggle to find a fan of the series that doesn't hold that viewpoint. That doesn't mean it's perfect though, as while the game is looking like one of 2024's best, there are some things that are beginning to irk players that have sunk a significant amount of time into the game.

With the regained interest in completing Primal Storms due to the new A World Awoken meta-achievement, many players are finding themselves frustrated with a key component of this achievement, which requires them to complete Primal Storms in different Dragon Isles zones. The achievement in question is Storm Chaser, which is part of Into the Storm, which is part of Across the Isles, which is part of A World Awoken. This achievement, as we highlighted earlier this week, requires you to complete sixteen different Primal Storms, four different types of storms in the four original Dragonflight zones. In itself, that's an okay task. However, two issues are currently making this achievement exceedingly harder than when Dragonflight launched—the number of storms and their distribution.

Following a few days of speculation after Larian boss Swen Vincke announced that the studio’s next game will not be Baldur’s Gate 4, he has clarified that the reason for this new direction was all about Larian wanting to take a new direction, and not because of changes at D&D owner Wizards of the Coast.

The rumors about GTA 6 go around like wild fire with the game’s release being in 2025. The game has been in development for many years.

Reddit said Friday that the Federal Trade Commission has opened an inquiry into the social media platform's sale, licensing or sharing of its users' posts and other content to outside organizations for use in training artificial intelligence models.

The Helldivers 2 community is a fun place, especially when players remain as enthusiastic about the prosperity of Super Earth on social media as a real Helldiver would out on Erata Prime. There's no doubt the developers encourage this, with game director Johan Pilestedt recently branding the footage of flying Terminids as "propaganda from bug sympathizers" and refusing to acknowledge their existence.

The solo dev behind the indie poker roguelike Balatro is disappointed over how games with "actual gambling mechanics" are given age ratings, after seeing their own game's rating skyrocket due to gambling-related concerns. This came despite the fact that Balatro doesn't actually feature gambling, and the developer is strictly against it.

Last month, Helldivers 2 players were mourning the loss of Malevelon Creek, a planet so hotly contested between the people fighting for Super Earth and the Automaton threat that it was officially dubbed "Robot Vietnam" by the community. It was a very long and tough fight that eventually ended in defeat, but a small group of players has been plugging away ever since, determined not to let the planet be completely overrun.

Helldivers 2 got a pretty important patch this week, making those pesky Chargers and Bile Titans easier to deal with. But developer Arrowhead quietly added a new Terminid enemy you'll have to look above the battlefield to find.

Heads up, Helldivers – literally. Seemingly out of nowhere, there've been sightings of flying terminids out in the wild, which the game's director – and the Ministry of Truth – insist are "filthy lies" and "propaganda from bug sympathizers." So, uh, we can probably expect to start seeing a lot more of them soon.

Many Palworld players are straight up refusing to make the most of one of the survival game's best sources of in-game currency out of the fear that they might end up regretting it later down the line. And honestly? It's a pretty understandable concern. 

Helldivers 2 players are once again honing in on Malevelon Creek, and others are worried it's going to drag the Galactic War effort into the mud.
