  The Rise of Online Gaming in Arab Countries

  Online gaming is now one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world. If we take the 2020 worldwide online gaming revenue as a starting point, it was $21.1 billion, which is an incredible sum of money. Fast forward to 2023 and that figure stands at $26.1 billion, which is a growth of $5 billion over the space of three years. Much focus is given to the American and European online gaming markets, but we have also been seeing a rise in online gaming in Arab countries.

  '20 Minutes' of Lords of the Fallen Gameplay

  It's a long look, so grab a snack.
  
  Hexworks just unveiled a "full 20 minutes" of gameplay footage for Lords of the Fallen, the studio's upcoming dark-fantasy action-RPG. The video clocks in at 17 minutes and 52 seconds. Now, I'm no geographer or nothin', but saying something is a "full 20 minutes" when it's clearly under 18 minutes sure is something.
  
  Regardless, there's a lot of gameplay footage here. The video also features some narration describing...

  Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

  Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.
  
  When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game...

  Armored Core 6 Features a First for a FromSoftware PC Release

  All the frames.
  
  To put it bluntly, FromSoftware's releases on PC have been severely lacking when stacked up against the competition. First, there was Dark Souls which essentially needed the user-created DSfix that addressed the lacking internal resolution and other graphical issues. More recently there was Elden Ring where, although it's a fantastic game, it was capped to 60FPS and still to this day features severe hitching.
  
  Perhaps that's about to change with FromSoftware's...
