Crime Boss: Rockay City Steam Review

A decent payday.

INGAME Studios has been hard at work since Crime Boss: Rockay City was released in March 2023. The game reviewed rather poorly during its 2023 debut and you can tell INGAME took the player and reviewer criticisms to heart. Since that release, the studio has released several major updates for Crime Boss ahead of its June 18, 2024 release on Steam. Crime Boss initially appears to outsiders as a game much akin to the Payday titles. That is, you would think that it's a...

HexGaming Phantom PlayStation 5 Controller Review

In a market full of premium controllers, the Phantom manages to come out on top.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense is arguably one of the best first-party controllers to ever exist. This base PS5 controller already features amazing haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, a touch pad, and a tried-and-true design that fits comfortably in most everyone's hands. Sony essentially combined some of the best features of the previous-generation PlayStation controllers and then added...

Review: 5-hour Energy Gamer Shot

You ever write a three-page review for an energy supplement?

In early May 2024, 5-hour ENERGY (hereto after shown as 5-hour Energy) released a new Gamer Shot line of energy drink supplements. We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work. These 5-hour Energy Gamer Shots are available in three flavors: Pineapple Charge, Rocket Raspberry, and Apple Bash. Unless things have suddenly changed in the fe...

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review

The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.

The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

These modes offer improved performance and smaller map sizes.

Today's update for Battlefield 2042 offers next-gen players and PC players a little taste of what life is like on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For a limited time, Battlefield 2042's All-Out-War modes will include 64-player options for both Conquest and Breakthrough game types.

This is a change that has been requested by players pretty much right as the game launched. The idea is that these reduced player...

Battlefield 2042 Review: A Battlefield in Ruins

Battlefield 2042 is a shallow, feature-lacking mess of a game that appeals to neither long-time franchise fans nor newcomers.

The release of Battlefield 2042 on November 19th should have been a joyous occasion for fans of the franchise. Instead, what the world received was a broken mess of a game that has long-standing "legacy" features removed, barren maps, and a tone that was often at odds with itself. Even after receiving three major post-launch updates, there is very...

Battlefield 2042 Update 3.1 Drops on December 9

More fixes for the broken game are about to be released.

DICE and EA just released the changelog for Update #3.1 for Battlefield 2042. This will be the third major post-launch update released for the game. It will also be the last update for the game in 2021 with more undoubtedly to come throughout 2022.

One of the biggest changes in this update is a supposed improvement to bullet hit registration consistency. DICE has also implemented more balance changes for bullet dispersion...

Christmas Skins Coming to Battlefield 2042 and Fans Aren't Happy

Ho ho holy crap, what is this franchise turning into?

When Update #3 for Battlefield 2042 released earlier today, there were a few surprises included that shouldn't have been. DICE had mistakenly included the cosmetics that would be coming as rewards for the in-game weekly challenge system. DICE says that the weekly challenges will begin one week from today.

As they were included briefly after the patch dropped, you can be sure that people took plenty of screenshots for...

How to Fix Broken Mouse Movement in Battlefield 2042

DICE somehow totally broke mouse aiming in Update #3.

If you downloaded Update #3 for Battlefield 2042, and found yourself unable to aim left or right on the PC, you aren't alone. DICE somehow broke mouse aiming as part of the rollout for their latest update.

DICE has publicly acknowledged their blunder and have listed a potential fix under their Live Service Alerts.

Their suggestion is to restore all default settings by going to My Documents > Battlefield...

DICE Did Not Fix the Battlefield 2042 Revolver Reload

When a six-shooter turns into a five-shooter.

One of the (several) bugs included in Battlefield 2042 was an issue involving the M44 sidearm. Prior to today's release of Update #3, the gun had a very odd issue with how reloading was handled.

At release, a reload of the gun when empty would only reload five rounds. The problem is, there are six rounds in the chamber. You can see it during the reload animation. The gun is supposed to have six rounds and you have 18 rounds...

EA Wants to Create a 'Connected Battlefield Universe'

EA wants to take a Call of Duty approach to the Battlefield franchise.

As part of its major overhaul to the Battlefield development teams, EA also says that they are looking to create a "connected Battlefield universe." The major publisher wants to expand upon the franchise much like Activision has done with the Call of Duty franchise. Taken at face value, this could indicate that EA wants to have multiple studios create Battlefield games and experiences on a more regular...

Battlefield Teams Get Major Overhaul from EA

EA says they are restructuring its development teams as it looks to "grow Battlefield."

Battlefield 2042 is a bad game and you should not buy it. That seems to be the prevailing thought from most fans who have played the game for any length of time since its release just a couple of days back. It's a game that is full of bugs, barren maps, idiotic Specialists, a huge focus on vehicular combat, and more missing "legacy" features than you can shake a stick at....

Battlefield 2042 Update 3 Changelog

A changelog that rivals the length of a CVS Pharmacy receipt.

Battlefield 2042 is in a sad state, even following the release of Update #2 just last week. We all knew that Update #3 was coming and that it would be far more substantial than Update #2 was. Today, DICE released the changelog for Battlefield 2042 Update #3 and it is a long one.

The length of this changelog almost makes you think that maybe this game shouldn't have been released when it was. And you know what?...

Battlefield 2042 Update 2 Changelog

You can now use other weapons besides the PP-29!

As promised, DICE rolled out Update #2 for Battlefield 2042 today. Though not as substantial as the upcoming Update #3, today's update introduces some very welcome adjustments.

For instance, DICE has reduced the bullet spread on all weapons (except shotguns). This should mean that weapons beyond the PP-29 and SVK are actually viable to use now. I haven't tested them myself yet, but the reception to these initial adjustments...

DICE Details Two Updates Worth of Battlefield 2042 Fixes

The studio provides a roadmap of the next two updates.

To say that Battlefield 2042 is in dire need of a lot of attention would be a severe understatement. This game launched in a far worse state than even the infamous Battlefield 4. To list every issue present with the release version of Battlefield 2042 would take far too long. Besides, I've already included several lists pointing out broken or missing features in previous news postings about the game since its release.

It's a whole lot of nothing.

Battlefield 2042 has been available for those that ponied up the big bucks for the Gold or Ultimate editions, priced at $89.99 (USD) and $109.99 respectively. The standard edition of the game is slated to be released in about a day from now on November 19. To say that the game needs a ton of work would be a gross understatement.

The only hope was the promised "Day 1" patch for the game that was said to arrive just prior to the standard...
