Baldur’s Gate 3 now comes equipped with yet another bizarre romance option, this time even stranger than its bear counterpart!

Baldur’s Gate 3 has delighted PC players since its release, giving them unprecedented freedom in creating their own journeys and adventures.

At present, only PC gamers are enjoying this immersive virtual reality experience, with PlayStation players needing to wait an extra month before receiving their version in October and Xbox players still experiencing issues due to hardware constraints with their port.

Owing to its temporary exclusivity, Fortnite: Battle Royale was able to dominate charts by unseating Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as the highest-rated game for 2023; overtaking Hogwarts Legacy for concurrent Steam users as it quickly rose the ranks – potentially becoming a Game Of The Year contender as well.

RPG players won’t find another RPG like it anywhere, with endless customisation, location and dialogue options, romanceable partners that make everyone talk! From normal folk and animals alike – as well as now terrifying terrors! – to even rarefied entities from another realm altogether, your journey promises many worthy lovers for love affairs with any number of species or terrors you meet along your path.

So long as you’re open-minded and committed, romance the Mind Flayers. These strange beings with tentacles will pleasantly surprise when they hear of your desire for one of them; when meeting one at the end of Act Two they seem rather startled that anyone wants them as partners; once encountered they provide various options including hugging one as it seems they need affection desperately if that hug will lead you closer towards having physical affection between you two!

At least it wouldn’t come as a complete shock when Baldur’s Gate 3 made headlines for featuring romances with characters who can transform into bears; we don’t judge; well maybe we do?

Baldur’s Gate 3 offers unique romance options that may pique your interest, and is now available on PC and will make its PS5 debut this September.

Baldur’s Gate 3 seems destined for success since its release on 3 August; since then it has amassed an ardent fan base that propelled it into becoming the 10th highest rated game on Metacritic.

Not just in this month or even year – that would be impressive enough! Being named 10th out of all time must surely come with some pride? Still, should it come as any surprise?

Baldur’s Gate 3 has already overtaken Zelda to become 2023’s highest-rated game without even its PlayStation release! Furthermore, its first major update promises an array of changes designed to further improve gamers’ experiences – this game shows no signs of relenting! We cannot be any happier that Baldur’s Gate 3 keeps up this amazing energy; and are here for it all the way!

So if Baldur’s Gate 3 ranks 10th on Metacritic’s all time list, what titles have managed to surpass it? There’s plenty of classic games from late 90s through 2010s in this grouping that fans love; such as Final Fantasy VII Remake (score: 85 on Metacritic).

No surprise here; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time takes first place without controversy; one of my personal favorites (although Wind Waker would probably take that honor!). No point debating my logic as everyone knows I am right!

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, GTA 4, and other iconic games made an incredible showing at number two on our list, each for their own reasons and worthy of being in such esteemed company. As you move further down, however, more recent titles (we say recent but it has actually been 13 years) such as Red Dead Redemption appear.

At its release, RDR became one of my all-time favourite games – its iconic ending truly making this entry iconic and worthy of its eighth rank on my list. However, its “commercially accurate” price made its PS port hard to enjoy as I remember its glory days as it first hit shelves. Filled with twists and turns at each corner, its iconicness earns RDR an 8 ranking!

GTA 5 edged out Baldur’s Gate 3 by just a hair. If you look closely, both titles share an almost identical Metascore of 97; GTA 5, however, actually boasted lower user scores at 7.9 while Baldur’s Gate had 9.1.

Why doesn’t Battleground 3 rank higher, as one might assume? Our guess is it has something to do with how many users have reviewed both games; GTA 5 likely garnered more reviews due to more gamers having experienced it; once Battlefield 3 debuts on PlayStation, these rankings could change accordingly.

Are you curious to experience the immersive world of Baldur’s Gate 3? Now available on PC and set to release for PlayStation on 6 September.

Xbox may have spent billions to acquire Actvision, yet Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III beta tests will still arrive first on PlayStation consoles.

PlayStation fans were in for an exciting announcement last week; those on Xbox were left scratching their heads over what to make of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s release and subsequent controversy among their community members. The official reveal brought mixed responses among both camps of fans alike.

Many were excited at the prospect of another Call Of Duty title being released soon, while others expressed doubt as to its worthiness given much of its content was originally planned as DLC for Modern Warfare II (2022).

There has also been much discussion surrounding how long Call Of Duty series will remain available across platforms, especially after Xbox dropped an unprecedented $68.7 billion on purchasing Activision Blizzard; although certain countries oppose the acquisition deal, ultimately it should go through regardless.

Xbox could potentially make Call Of Duty an exclusive Xbox title even though it has repeatedly denied doing so. Many believe such an action could backfire later given recent leaks which suggest Modern Warfare III beta testing could begin first on PlayStation before reaching Xbox.

On Twitter, CharlieINTEL shared this news and provided an advertisement from Arabic Sony YouTube promoting this game – translated, the ad reads: “Play the demo first on PlayStation! Available five days earlier than other platforms!”

Ads also indicated that those who preordered would only have access to the beta. No date for its implementation has been given yet; though likely within weeks or months.

Xbox may not come out ahead in this deal after spending so much on publishing fees; however, once completed there may be exclusive features or bonuses specifically targeted to Xbox platforms that might entice gamers back.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will debut later this year for Xbox, PlayStation and PC platforms on 10 November.

Red Dead Redemption 2 stands as one of Rockstar Games’s crowning achievements, which speaks volumes given their reputation.

Red Dead Redemption 2 remains beloved five years since it first released for PS4 and Xbox One back in 2018. From engaging story missions, fun side activities, thrilling wild west gun fights to stunning visuals, an expansive open world and beyond – Red Dead Redemption 2 truly provides it all.

Though open world games have long been a hallmark of video game development, not every studio can pull it off successfully – as evidenced by Ubisoft’s most recent titles.

Sure, RPG-inspired games such as Assassin’s Creed are enjoyable experiences; but most would agree that their open world can often feel overwhelmed. Not so with Red Dead Redemption 2, as its expansive world still provides something therapeutic.

Fans on Reddit have recently been discussing whether Red Dead Redemption 2’s open world has been executed well.

“RDR2 is an open world game done right; though its map may be vast and its towns scattered, random encounters make the experience of horseback riding exciting and fulfilling,” exclaimed nesatzuke as they opened discussion in this thread.

“This game’s attention to detail is incredible; I want to experience it for the first time!” raved Moongoloid. Terrosaurus stated “RDR2 is truly an artform; just play it now” while Asgardwalls went straight for it: “RDR2 is simply stunning – give it a chance!”

Recently, Rockstar Games unveiled a remake for Red Dead Redemption that fell far short of expectations, prompting many fans to express their displeasure with them and to express their concerns to Rockstar directly.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has arrived for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 remains one of their marquee titles and even five years after it first came out, fans continue to find ways to experience its epicness.

Red Dead Redemption 2, released originally for PS4 and Xbox One before arriving on PC the following year, has quickly become one of Rockstar Games’ crown jewels and one of the highest acclaimed titles ever with scores up to 97 on aggregate websites such as Metacritic.

Red Dead Redemption games or Red Dead Online are among the finest examples of fantasy cowboy life simulation. Boasting stunning visuals and immersive open world gameplay that boast thriving eco-systems and activities galore – plus compelling narrative arcs – Red Dead offers enough content for years of enjoyment!

Red Dead Redemption 2 players will find themselves taken to an island called Guarma at one point during its story arc; here await some truly memorable and pivotal moments that make this an outstanding title! This experience alone makes Red Dead Redemption 2 worth your consideration if epic moments matter to you!

Once players leave Guarma, however, they’re no longer officially permitted to return – although as reported by Screen Rant they have found ways to return. Revisiting Guarma requires some glitches and patience from players before returning again.

As explained by YouTube channel ‘Basement Gamers Bros’, players first need to activate a glitch that allows them to exit the main map. Once that is accomplished, head east over Lannahechee River where canoes await on either bank and take off rowing in both directions until finally arriving on your destination point at North Lannahechee Lake – staying right-side of River for safety when rowing!

Once you arrive on Guarma island there are an assortment of activities you can engage in which is quite surprising, since I would expect this place to be barren since its purpose wasn’t meant for us to return there again and again.

Visit Guarma Island and experience its picturesque sites at your own pace, treasure hunt for rare animals found only here and explore new territory on foot – no horses or wagons allowed here!

Recent reports regarding a Red Dead Redemption remake have swirled, suggesting it will release with Undead Nightmare expansion and not its original multiplayer mode – making sense since we already have Red Dead Online available.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has recently made its way onto PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms and will also backwards compatibility for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Avalanche Studio’s Hogwarts Legacy captures this spirit beautifully.

Hogwarts Legacy launched this February and quickly rose to be one of the year’s most-anticipated games; though its initial surge may have faded somewhat since launch. That being said, Hogwarts Legacy outsold FromSoftware’s Elden Ring in sales in five weeks alone!

Hogwarts Legacy takes place centuries prior to both Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter events, in 1890s England. Players become students entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during its fifth academic year to the surprise of tutors and classmates alike.

Hogwarts Legacy features many side activities beyond its main story missions and random events, like one room that holds an “amazing secret”, though today’s discovery might take the cake! It is most certainly bizarre and entertaining!

Hogwarts Legacy player jes12345678 discovered what appears to be a Highland Cow, lounging around inside of an isolated house. She noted on Reddit she is uncertain if this was its actual residence or whether a cow just entered before they did…

When this was found in any other game, it may have been considered as a glitch; but given it takes place within the Wizarding World it could well be considered intentional. Some Redditors speculated that this Highland Cow could actually be an Animagus Wizard or Witch who can transform into animals like any animal imaginable; though it’s also possible that someone unwittingly cast transformation spell on an NPC when sharing this image on Reddit.

And apparently random animals hanging out in homes of Hogwarts Legacy isn’t as rare as we thought – Reddit user ultradespairthot shared an image showing one hanging around Sebastian Sallow’s home!

According to reports, Hogwarts Legacy developer’s next game has been noted in a job listing; fans want it set in London.

Hogwarts Legacy has launched for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Nintendo Switch version will release on 14 November 2023.

Fans agree that Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell series has been dormant too long and needs an encore with Splinter Cell: Blacklist 2.

Ubisoft recently unveiled an official photorealistic remake of Splinter Cell for PC, and while I applaud them for finally giving this classic series its due, more needs to be done in its sequels and beyond.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist marked our last original Sam Fisher adventure since 2013. Since then, however, most other titles in the beloved franchise have either come and gone or simply feature him occasionally as part of other Ubisoft series like Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six Siege.

Fans want that to change and they have made their views known via Reddit.

Blizardmate recently posted on an internet thread the statement, “This game is LONG overdue for a sequel”, alongside cover art of Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Though Splinter Cell: Blacklist may not have been everyone’s top pick from the series (many still preferring Chao Theory as their favorite entry), it was still an outstanding title that demonstrated what modern Splinter Cell could look like. Fans agreed it is long overdue for revival via either direct sequels or rebooted remakes like Blacklist: Remake of their beloved franchise.

“Honestly I prefer a soft reboot. Something Blacklist should have been, yet wasn’t. Still fun to play!”

“Only if it follows in the vein of chaos theory or double agent. If it follows suit with previous games, I would prefer not to have another sequel.”

“Only if my night vision makes an audible noise when turned on”

Truly, an exceptional Splinter Cell comeback would include its original stealth gameplay with modern visuals and Michael Ironside reprising his role as Sam Fisher – it would truly mark an outstanding comeback from Ubisoft! However, whether more sequels will follow after this remake’s launch remains to be seen…

Starfield will arrive just over one month from now! Bethesda’s highly anticipated space epic will launch on 6 September with early access opening five days earlier on 31 August.

There’s so much excitement surrounding Starfield that awaits its release: Bethesda has teased an “astonishing” number of side quests – not surprising considering there will be over 1,000 planets with at least 10% harboring signs of life! Furthermore, developers have teased various factions and branching paths of gameplay as well as potential space samurai units or decorating your apartment possibilities which sounds exciting – as we countdown until launch day, pre-orders have skyrocketed into Steam’s top 10 best sellers! As we count down, pre-orders have skyrocketed into Steam’s top 10 best sellers list!

Head on over to Steam and take a look at UK top selling games: Starfield is currently sitting comfortably at seventh, after rising a whopping 17 places since launch day! It currently trails American Truck Simulator: Oklahoma Edition (ATS-Okla), Remnant II, American Truck Simulator itself (ATS), Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO), and Baldur’s Gate 3 as the list. I expect Starfield will overtake these titles by its release day!

Starfield currently sits eighth on the US charts and Apex Legends is peaking ahead. Internationally it comes 13th. Clearly not everyone in the UK is as enthusiastic about Starfield at this moment in time!

If you have early access to Starfield through purchasing one of its premium editions, using an age-old trick called timezone bamboozling could get access on August 31st – yes! For those waiting on Xbox Game Pass for it’s release – Starfield can already be preinstalled now!

The latest PlayStation 5 beta update boasts incredible new features – such as enhanced storage capability.

Sony released an important beta update for PlayStation 5 yesterday in case you missed it, including accessibility features, support for Dolby Atmos-enabled audio devices, social feature upgrades and larger capacity M.2 SSD support.

As with other beta releases from other companies such as Facebook or Netflix for instance. However, users in select regions including US Canada Japan UK Germany France will get to experience and provide feedback before it’s made globally later in 2018.

Thus some features might change before hitting all consoles but overall this sounds promising, offering accessibility features, Dolby Atmos support audio device compatibility alongside social feature upgrades as well. It could potentially offer many improvements: accessibility features supported audio devices supported Dolby Atmos audio device support as well as larger M.2 SSD support among many more.

Storage capacity has become the focal point for PlayStation 5 users. When purchased as part of a bundle with SSD technology, users can increase the storage to four TeraBytes or, if selected for beta testing, eightTB. We hope that later this year this feature will reach more people as it gains adoption among us all.

M.2 SSDs must satisfy certain specifications to fulfill their role properly; you can view those on the PlayStation Blog; it would be prudent to read up carefully as SSDs can be expensive so making an educated purchase decision can only benefit.

As part of its update, PlayStation 5 now allows its owners to either reduce or completely silence its power-on beep – no more annoying your spouse with unnecessary noise when trying to sneak one last round of Fortnite or Warzone at midnight!

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord has been released on Steam, and a swarm of fans is eager to discover Calradia again. A more impatient group is probably wondering if the console cheats or console command are still functional.
