  '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...

  Twitter is Finally Dead

  It's apparently been replaced by a unicode character.
  
  The good news here is that Twitter is finally dead! The bad news is that it's only because Elon Musk is rebranding Twitter to X. Or to be more specific, it's 𝕏. That is to say, it's simply the unicode character U+1D54F. Yes, Musk and cohorts continue to take what already existed instead of creating something new themselves.
  
  The change comes because Musk is apparently the biggest fan of the letter "X",...

  Diablo 4's Battle Pass Doesn't Offer Enough Currency to Buy Cheapest Store Item

  You would need to save for at least two seasons to afford even one in-game purchase.
  
  The first season of Diablo 4 has certainly encountered more than a few issues already. Released about a week ago, Season of the Malignant, first had a very controversial and nerf-filled update, which angered a lot of players. Now, fans are discovering that the premium Battle Pass track doesn't even give you enough premium currency, Platinum, to be able to afford even the cheapest item from the in-game...
