Forum Games / The Monster Hunter Movie Has Marines In It Because Of Metal Gear Solid, Apparent by miniming: 9:00am On Jun 15, 2021
The Monster Hunter movie has marines in it because of Metal Gear Solid, apparently



One of the most scorchingly hot takes in recent history is that, you know what, the Monster Hunter movie is a great laugh—it might even be the best videogame movie ever made. Not a little of this is down to its faithfulness with most aspects of Capcom's long-running series, but the slightly Hollywood exception is that they stuck a load of marines in there. pg slot

Director Paul W.S. Anderson recently spoke to IGN about elements of the film, observing that the concept of bringing 'modern' humans into the Monster Hunter setting was inspired by the feeling he had playing one of the games for the first time: examining these luscious virtual landscapes as an outsider.

"I was influenced by the first time I played the game or anyone plays the game, you know, you're a modern person going into this world and discovering it for the first time. And you're doing so with a character you've created [....] so you're essentially a stranger going into this world, and I wanted to recreate this sense of wonder I had the first time I went into this world. You can only have that sense of wonder if you're seeing it with fresh eyes."
Forum Games / Far Cry 6 E3 2021 Trailer Shows Giancarlo Esposito In Typically Ruthless Fashion by miniming: 9:02am On Jun 13, 2021
Far Cry 6 E3 2021 Trailer Shows Giancarlo Esposito In Typically Ruthless Fashion



In Far Cry 6, Giancarlo Esposito's Anton Castillo is one dictator you don't want to mess with.

Far Cry 6 got a new trailer during the E3 2021 Ubisoft Forward presentation, showing protagonist Dani (female version) and a small group of escapees on a fishing boat that is quickly boarded by the villainous Anton Castillo. It sets the stage for a major confrontation we're sure to have with the character, played by Giancarlo Esposito.

The Far Cry 6 cinematic appeared to be in-engine rather than a pre-rendered cutscene. Castillo ruthlessly executes a woman on the boat before pointing to a young boy, who happens to be his own son.

This is certainly the ruthlessness we expect from the actor, given his past roles on Breaking Bad and ongoing role in The Mandalorian.

Post-launch DLC will also allow you to take the role of some of the famous villains from past games, including Joseph Seed, Vaas, and Pagan Min from the three previous mainline games. It looks to be very trippy and even veer into psychological horror, and it will be included in the Far Cry 6 season pass alongside Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. This appears to be the original version of Blood Dragon rather than a remastered version. แหล่งรวมสล็อตpg

Each DLC episode will focus on a different villain--Vaas: Insanity, Pagan: Control, and Joseph: Collapse.

The season pass costs $40 and also comes with the Gold Edition for $100. Far Cry 6 preorders are available now.

Far Cry 6 releases on October 7 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, PC, Luna, and Stadia. It was originally scheduled to release in February before experiencing a few delays.
Nairaland / General / Dungeon Crawler Loot River Is Like 'diablo And Tetris Had A Baby' by miniming: 5:27am On Jun 11, 2021
Dungeon crawler Loot River is like 'Diablo and Tetris had a baby'



As elevator pitches go, "Imagine if Diablo and Tetris had a baby" is about as effective as I can imagine. At the very least it's hard to imagine what a game like that would even look like, so you should watch the clip of Loot River from the Summer Game Fest above.

Straka Studios' Loot River is roguelike dungeon crawler, but it's also a dungeon shifter. There are block-based puzzles throughout, but instead of moving blocks out of your way you actually ride them around. You can rearrange them to gain access to new areas, speed around on them to avoid being swarmed by mobs, and even use them to smash enemies into paste as you ride them further down the Loot River. pg

It's not that block riding is your only move. Your character also has a pretty deadly flaming sword. But I get the impression that you can easily be overwhelmed by mobs of monsters, so avoiding them at times may be a key to success. That's where some quick and clever block riding comes in handy. It's like solving a puzzle while you're standing on it.

Forum Games / Forza Motorsport Dev Gives Update On Playtests by miniming: 9:29am On Jun 04, 2021
Forza Motorsport Dev Gives Update On Playtests



The next playtest for the upcoming Forza Motorsport will arrive in the near future.

We still know very little about Forza Motorsport, the official name of the eighth installment in the mainline Forza series, but developer Turn 10 is steadily moving forward with testing its gameplay. A beta test just finished up recently, and today the studio announced that another one will be coming up this summer.

In the most recent episode of Forza Monthly, the developer-run show giving updates on the Forza series, Creative Director Chris Esaki gave some additional detail about how the playtests are working and what they're being used for. He explained that the first test involving members of the community wrapped up in early May, and that participants had been able to go hands-on with the multiplayer component of the game. pg slot

Indiana Jones 5 starts filming in the UK very soon



It's still hard to believe that Indiana Jones 5 is a real thing that's happening, but now we have confirmation that the upcoming sequel is set to begin filming in the very near future.

Deadline reports that Indiana Jones 5 will commence filming the week of Monday, 7 June, 2021. That gives us mere days until Harrison Ford once again struts his stuff as the iconic spelunker alongside a batch of new cast members.

The publication notes that Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One, Another Round), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Shaunette Renée Wilson (The Resident), and Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age Of Ultron) will all be appearing in Indiana Jones 5 – no word yet on whether Indy's son, played by Shia Leboeuf, will return to the franchise after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Limited Run Games 2021 Showcase: How To Watch

Limited Run Games will be announcing 25 physical games on June 14.

This summer is littered with gaming events, sure to be filled with new announcements, surprises, and updates. For anyone looking to know what limited-edition physical games they can get their hands on, the Limited Run Games 2021 showcase will be taking place on Monday, June 14, at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET. Limited Run Games has said that the hour-long showcase will feature 25 announcements, including new games, physical editions of cult classics, and reissues of classic titles.

Limited Run Games 2021 Start Time
Limited Run Games' "#LRG3 2021" goes live Monday, June 14, at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET. The show, produced by Mega64, promises 25 physical game announcements in an hour-long presentation. During the 2020 show the company announced physical versions of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, Katana Zero, To The Moon, and many more, so expect a variety of titles to be announced during the showcase.

1 PM PT
3 PM CT
4 PM ET
8 PM GMT

What To Expect
In past showcases, Limited Run Games have announced a number of indie titles and older classics getting physical editions. Typically, most games are announced for PS4 and Switch--of the roughly 30 games announced in 2020, only 3 weren't available on either PS4 or Switch--but it could be possible to see PS5 games this year since the console is now officially out.

On the May 2 episode of the Xbox Expansion Pass podcast, Limited Run Games founders Douglas Bogart and Josh Fairhurst said that the company has officially partnered with Xbox and plans to make announcements soon, so there could be Xbox games at the show as well.


On Twitter, the company also gave an update about some of the titles it has already announced but haven't released, like Katana Zero and Night In The Woods, so it seems like the showcase will be reserved for new announcements.

The Limited Run Games live stream comes shortly after Summer Game Fest on June 10 and the Xbox and Bethesda Game Showcase on June 13. GameSpot will be live streaming all of the games events and showcases during June as part of Play for All 2021, raising money for AbleGamers, which focuses on helping people with disabilities play games and improving accessibility in games. แหล่งรวมสล็อตpg

Logistics and city builder Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic has helicopters now



I've written pretty regularly on this here website about how much I love Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, a uniquely comprehensive city-builder, logistics, and industry management sim set in a Soviet republic of your own making.

Well buckle up because I'm going to write more and it's the weekend so nobody can stop me.

The latest update for W&R:SR adds helicopters to the game, versatile vehicles which make their appearance shortly after Workers & Resources' 1960 start date and allow you to haul passengers, workers, and even construction materials via skycrane. That's fitting for Workers & Resources, which unique among city builders allows you to produce every bit of your buildings, from steel to boards and concrete, yourself. pg slot auto

Like The Walking Dead, this spin-off has varied in quality, but at its best the mix of zombie thrills and character-based drama equals that of the main show. The Texas-set Season 3 and Season 4, which added Walking Dead favorite Morgan to the cast of characters, are must-watches. slot
Forum Games / Play As Bomberman In Fall Guys From June 4 by miniming: 9:29am On May 28, 2021
Play as Bomberman in Fall Guys from June 4



Free-to-play battle royale Super Bomberman R Online (never thought I'd say that sentence) is releasing today, and of course Fall Guys has gotten its shapeless stubs on yet another gaming crossover. But this time, the bean-shaped lads are also getting in on the fun.

As well as Fall Guys getting a classic Bomberman skin on June 4, the beans themselves are heading into Super Bomberman R Online, or at least one of them is, as a playable character. Despite the staggering amount of characters that have made their way into Fall Guys as a skin, this'll be the first time that bean boy has crossed over into someone else's game. The "Bean Bomber" character can dive across the map, and surprisingly looks far more out of place than I'd expect a fellow rotund bomber to be.

Fall Guys' Bomberman skin will be available in the shop for 10 crowns, while Super Bomberman R Online's Bean Bomber character will be available to owners of the game for free "until further notice." slot

Nairaland / General / San Francisco School Board's Latest Crisis: Racist Tweets by miniming: 5:52am On Mar 25, 2021
San Francisco school board's latest crisis: Racist tweets



The vice president of San Francisco's school board is under fire for tweets she wrote in 2016 that said Asian Americans use “white supremacist” thinking to get ahead and are not concerned for Black students

SAN FRANCISCO -- The vice president of San Francisco’s school board is under fire for tweets she wrote in 2016, saying that Asian Americans use “white supremacist” thinking to get ahead and were racist toward Black students.

The tweets are at the center of a new crisis facing the scandal-plagued Board of Education, which has been sued, criticized and mocked over the past few months.

Board member Alison Collins was the focus of a heated public meeting Tuesday evening attended online by more than 1,000 people, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Many callers demanded Collins step down, echoing calls by two board members and dozens of officials who have denounced the tweets as racist and anti-Asian. Mayor London Breed also joined the chorus, saying “our students and our API community deserve better."

Collins told the meeting she wanted to again express her “sincere and heartfelt apologies.” In an earlier statement, she apologized for the hurt caused by the tweets, which critics have called a non-apology.

The posts resurfaced last week amid a surge of violence and harassment against Asian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the country. They are the latest embarrassment for San Francisco’s school board, which has prided itself on putting racial equity at the top of its agenda.

Nairaland / General / Destiny 2 Tweaking Stasis Abilities, Adding Grandmaster Nightfalls by miniming: 6:01am On Mar 24, 2021
Destiny 2 Tweaking Stasis Abilities, Adding Grandmaster Nightfalls With Next Update



The previously mentioned adjustments to Stasis abilities are on their way with Destiny 2's March 16 update, along with a new chance to earn high-level gear. Bungie is making a number of adjustments to Stasis abilities in Destiny 2 with its March 16 update to the game, which should make players in the PvP-focused Crucible very happy (or very angry). A number of Stasis powers are getting nerfed, including the ubiquitous Shatterdive ability and the strength of the Duskfield grenade.

A preview of the changes are outlined in Destiny 2's This Week at Bungie blog post, which outlines how Bungie is adjusting each of the three Stasis subclasses. The Hunter Shatterdive ability is losing its damage resistance, which should help players combat the extremely lethal move. The Warlock Stasis Super's projectiles will now have better tracking, but the explosive power used to shatter Stasis crystals won't deal as much damage. And Titans will no longer freeze nearby PvP opponents when they activate their Super abilities. There are a number of other changes in the blog post--they're all listed below--but they're generally only taking effect in PvP play; Stasis abilities are remaining mostly the same in PvE activities.

Stasis abilities have been dominant in the Crucible since the release of the Beyond Light expansion, much to the chagrin of many Destiny 2 players. There have been a lot of complaints about the new abilities, particularly Shatterdive, which allows Hunters to leap into the air and slam down, shattering nearby Stasis crystals. Those crystals are extremely deadly when they explode, and Shatterdive provided Hunters with a bunch of damage resistance when executing the move, making them nearly unkillable--and pushing players to center all their play around the ability. pg
Nairaland / General / How To Transfer Marvel's Avengers PS4 Save To PS5 by miniming: 6:13am On Mar 23, 2021
How To Transfer Marvel's Avengers PS4 Save To PS5



PlayStation users must update their game before being prompted to transfer Marvel's Avengers save data from PS4 to PS5. The next-gen version of Marvel's Avengers has been released, and while you can transfer your save from the existing version, the process is somewhat inelegant for those going from PS4 to PS5. Players will need to hold off on deleting the PS4 version of the game until some specific steps have been completed.

Users are instructed to update the PS4 version of the game to the latest update, Patch 1.5.0, and head to the in-game "Save Migration" tab in order to start the uploading process. Crystal clarified that "the latest update for the PS4 version" is required to transfer your save the PS5 version.

How To Transfer Marvel's Avengers PS4 Save To PS5
Launch the fully patched PS4 version
Navigate to the Save Migration tab
Start the uploading process
Launch the PS5 version
Download PS4 save data
Because the PS4 version of the game must be updated in order to initiate the save migration process, you won't see the "Save Migration" tab unless your PS4 copy has been updated to the latest 1.5.0 patch. That means you need to avoid deleting the PS4 version in order to download the PS5 one until you've completed the migration process. The studio noted that Save Migration is "necessary to boot the save on the PS5 version" even if PlayStation users have the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game on the same console. pgslot

Xbox Game Pass continues to grow by adding EA Play on PC. Xbox Game Pass for PC is about to get a whole lot more content. EA Play has officially arrived on the service, giving PC players more than 60 games from the EA catalog. That includes some of the biggest sports games as well as acclaimed action games, racers, and shooters.

Subscribers not only get access to a catalog of 60+ games that include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Titanfall 2, and numerous entries in the Battlefield and Madden franchises, but they also get in-game rewards every month for select titles. March 18 is also the day that Star Wars: Squadrons comes to Game Pass, on both PC and console.

The video below provides a full walkthrough of how to get started. But in short, PC users must download the EA Desktop app, sign in with an EA Account (or create one), and then link this account to an Xbox account. From there you will be directed to the Xbox App for PC to get started. pg

The Snyder Cut: Martian Manhunter Scenes Explained



Zack Snyder's Justice League confirmed a fan theory about a DC hero hiding in plain sight

The Snyder Cut has arrived and brought with it plenty of new scenes to change up whole storylines and characters that once existed in the theatrical cut of the movie. Heroes like Cyborg and Aquaman were given more screen time while entirely new additions to the cast were brought into the fold. One such newcomer was J'onn J'onzz, AKA Martian Manhunter, a shapeshifting alien who has, apparently, been working in secret on Earth for quite some time.

The first scene in which we actually see J'onn is a shocker: He's in disguise as Martha Kent when she visits Lois to convince her to return to work after Clark's death. It's never actually made clear why J'onn believes Lois needs to return to work, but he certainly seems very satisfied with himself after the conversation as he shifts back into the guise of a human military officer, General Swanwick, in the hall.

Another Fortnite anomaly has appeared on Shark Island. Here's what you need to know to solve the Shark Island Anomaly puzzle.

Fortnite Season 6 is teasing players with new Anomaly puzzles, like the Shark Island Anomaly players encounter once they progress far enough in the Season 6 Battle Pass. This particular challenge and associated puzzle becomes available once you hit Battle Pass level 28. Here's where to find and how to investigate the Shark Island Anomaly in Fortnite Season 6.

How to Investigate an Anomaly on Shark Island
Naturally, you'll first want to land on Shark Island. This unnamed location is still quite obvious once you see it in person, as it features a rock formation that looks like a shark opening its jaws. It's found in the northwest corner of the island, north of Coral Castle.

Once you hit land, you'll want to head to the north side of the island, where you'll find a glowing butterfly which flutters to and from three strange silver canisters sticking out of the ground.

Valheim Map Seed Guide - View Seed Maps To Plan Your Viking World



Part of the appeal of Valheim is exploring its world, but if you want to plan ahead, viewing your world's seed ahead of time will let you know what to expect.

When you first start out in Valheim, you'll not only create your Viking character, you'll also create a "seed" for your game world. The seed is a code that corresponds to the locations of all the elements of the world when it's generated, dictating where biomes, resources, bosses, and everything else in Valheim is located. The game will randomly create seeds for you, but if you want more control, you can put in the seed code to spawn into a specific world. We've gathered all the info you need to know about how seeds work in Valheim, how to evaluate them, and which ones you might want to use as you're planning your Viking excursions.

Keep in mind that this guide is for Valheim players who aren't interested in the joy of exploration--much of what makes the game interesting is exploring your game world, finding what secrets it hides, and working to survive with imperfect knowledge of what you'll face. But if you want to fast-track your way through a Valheim run, set up the perfect place to build an awesome Viking base, or just have more control over your experience, use this information to pick the right seed for you and get everything you want out of your Valheim game world.

How To Find Your World Seed

Your seed is determined by a code that's a combination of capital and lowercase letters and numbers. You'll find that code on the Select World screen when you first fire up Valheim. This is where the game stores your game worlds and allows you to spawn into them--it's also where you can set up single-player, local, or dedicated servers. The "New" button allows you to create a new game world, which allows you to either specify the seed you want to use or generate a random one.

Nick Jonas releases new solo album 'Spaceman' and video featuring wife Priyanka



This is the singer's fourth studio album.

Nick Jonas returned to the solo music scene on Friday with the release of his fourth studio album, "Spaceman."

The record is Jonas' first solo album since 2016's "Last Year Was Complicated" and his first since 2019's reunion of the Jonas Brothers and their "Happiness Begins" era.

Although five years have passed, the 28-year-old singer brings the same R&B flavor he's known for to his latest piece of work but this time with a bit more of a pop edge to it, coupled mostly with contemporary love song lyrics.

Hours before the release of the 11-track project, the Grammy-nominated artist gifted fans with the video for the lead single, also titled "Spaceman," which featured a special appearance by his wife of two years, actress and producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

Call Of Duty: Mobile Season 2 Day Of Reckoning Update Patch Notes Released



Call of Duty: Mobile changes in a significant way with the launch of the game's first major update of 2021. The Season 2: Day of Reckoning update has landed on iOS and Android, bringing with it a new Operator, Charly, along with new maps and more battle pass content.

Charly comes to Call of Duty: Mobile as a free unlock for everyone--all you have to do is log into the game and she will appear in your inventory. Activision said there are no restrictions or time limits for the new Operator.

Also of note, the Day of Reckoning update introduces two more maps that may be familiar to players. Shoot House from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now in the game, along with the Modern Warfare classic Shipment map that is among the smallest Call of Duty maps ever. This leads to some fast and frenetic gameplay.

The Day of Reckoning update also adds new battle pass rewards to unlock, including weapon blueprints and calling cards. Additionally, the Napalm Strike scorestreak has been added as an unlockable bonus in the battle pass.

A new mode, Gunfight: Sniper, has been added to multiplayer with the update. As its name suggests, this mode challenges players to take down enemies and capture objectives with only a sniper rifle.
The big patch adds two new multiplayer maps, a free Operator for everyone, and more battle pass items to unlock.

Los Angeles Area Movie Theaters Could Re-Open This Weekend



Governor Gavin Newsom says if the right coronavirus metrics are hit by Friday, even more good news will follow just as quickly.

Los Angeles, one of the nation's biggest theatrical exhibition markets, is poised to re-open its movie theaters as soon as this weekend depending on the outcome of a meeting of local health and state officials later this week. During a recent visit to a mobile vaccination clinic, Governor Gavin Newsom indicated movie theaters and theme parks could be coming back to life sooner rather than later--and with restrictions still in place.

It all depends on the COVID-19 vaccine and the impact it seems to be making. By Friday, Newsom says, 2 million vaccines will have been administered, an impressive milestone that also represents a hopeful dent and reversal in coronavirus trends.

"Moving through the weekend and into next week, you will see more activity, more loosening," predicted the governor (via Deadline). "That's encouraging and I hope people will be enthusiastic about what this means moving forward, because we have a series of other thresholds and other goals that will allow us to move forward with more clarity, more conviction and more confidence as we move through the next few weeks and the next few months."

As of this writing, the expected restrictions will allow movie theaters to reopen at 25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is less--and outdoor live events like concerts and sports will be allowed to reopen at 20 percent capacity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the larger Los Angeles market accounted for nearly 9 percent of all box office revenue in 2019.

If this is the beginning of a new nationwide trend, then it recasts our lists of the biggest movies to watch for in 2021 and all movies delayed by COVID-19, so far, in a new light.
