in NewsA Cataclysm Hits Anthem, But Nobody Knew
The end came not with a bang, but a whimper.
Yesterday, BioWare and EA released the long-awaited Cataclysm update for Anthem. This had promised to be a major event in the Anthem timeline but it was met with some rather unfortunate setbacks when BioWare decided to push back nearly the entirety of their planned update release schedule for the game. The first major delay came back in April when several major features, including Cataclysm, were delayed until an undetermined time.

DICE Pushes Back Battlefield V Marita Map to Next Week
Two updates coming over the next week.

in BattlefieldBattlefield V Chapter 4 Hotfix 1.1 Update Addresses Poor Hit Registration
Invisibility bug still remains.
DICE will release a hotfix patch for Battlefield V Chapter 4 tomorrow. This comes roughly a week after a fairly disastrous update introduced a number of game breaking bugs to the game.
While this update may not fix all of the top issues introduced in that last patch, it does tackle a few of them. It must be stated that today's update does not address the issue of invisible character models. This issue, introduced in the last update, is still... -
Game Breaking Battlefield V Bugs Still Not Fixed
No solid ETA on when they will be either.
If you have played Battlefield V from the beginning, you will probably agree that the game is fun but it's not without its flaws. In fact, it seems as though with every patch released for the game, there are almost as many new bugs added as there are ones that are squished in each patch.
The latest patch released for the game, which came about just last week, is no exception to that rule. First off, the beginning of Chapter 4 for... -

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be a surprise mechanic.
EA and loot boxes, loot boxes and EA. In some people's minds, there is no better pairing save for "gamers" and "rising up." For the past several years now, the studio has been repeatedly under fire for how they included loot boxes in many of their titles. They have included loot box mechanics in games like Madden with their Madden Ultimate Team card packs, FIFA with the similar Ultimate... -

DICE giveth and they taketh away.
First, the good news for Battlefield V fans. Today, DICE released the new Mercury map a day earlier than expected. It seems as though today's release doesn't actually require any additional client update as it was included in the last major update from last week. That's awesome! You can dive in, perhaps literally, to the new Mercury map right now on all platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
What you cannot do right now is play the...
