However, what it doesn’t offer is an easy way for newcomers to the franchise to get into the game, with help and support in-game severely lacking....

The second hub city for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker has been announced as Old Sharlayan. To which I can only say, “called it.” Square Enix showed it off for the first time during today’s Digital Fan Festival 2021.

In an…interesting interview with Shack News, Pete Hines defends Doom Eternal‘s lack of a traditional deathmatch multiplayer mode by saying that the deathmatch mode is “eons old.” “We don’t want to do something just for the sake of doing it, or because something has always been a certain way,” Hines says. “We want to make sure we’re doing stuff that’s interesting and that resonates. I loved the idea of what they were doing with Battle Mode....
