The fate of Rubicon rests in your hands. No pressure. Armored Core 6 is far more than just fun mech battles. It has a deep and branching story, with three whole different endings to unlock depending on the choices you make from mission to mission. Maybe you're unhappy with the first ending you got, or you just want to see all three endings for yourself. If you're ready for the commitment, we're here to walk you through how to unlock all three endings in Armored Core 6. How to Unlock All Endings in Armored Core 6 To unlock every ending in Armored Core 6, you must play the game to completion at least three times. You can choose to pursue either the "Liberator of Rubicon" or "Fires of Raven" ending on either your first or second playthrough. Whichever ending you pick to do first or second will have no impact on unlocking the third ending. However, to reveal the third (and some say "true") ending of Armored Core 6, you must play New Game+

“Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but inside it’s so delightful…” As much as these words are commonly associated with winter snowstorms, inclement weather and the general harshness of the great outdoors are year-long concerns. Be you gripped in the icy embrace of winter or hit with the heat of a summer’s sun, there’s one […] http://dlvr.it/T0mtVM

As a massive Pokémon fan, I've often daydreamed about what Pokemon would be like if they were real. Films like Detective Pikachu and games like Pokémon GO have offered different flavors of this daydream, but one of my recent favorite imaginings has to be the YouTube series PokéNational Geographic, created by Elious Entertainment. http://dlvr.it/T0lgRt

A look at what games are coming to PS5, and what might come from Sony's PlayStation studios in 2024. http://dlvr.it/T0l9zD

There are plenty of unique weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and even more so when you consider all of the combinations of fused weaponry you can make. But, there's one weapon combo to rule them all — the iconic Master Sword and Hylian Shield, a staple for The Legend of Zelda series. And, just like in the previous games, obtaining the Master Sword in TotK requires a bit of legwork before Link can wield it in all its glory. Note: There are some major story spoilers included in this article. Proceed at your own risk! How to Get the Hylian Shield in Tears of the Kingdom The Hylian Shield is the best defensive shield you can obtain in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thankfully, this one is a bit easier to obtain than the Master Sword. You'll find the Hylian Shield located north of Hyrule Castle, inside the Hyrule Field docks. Just west of Hyrule Castle, you'll find a small wooden dock where you can set sail using a nearby boat, or by bui

I’m a fairly recent convert to PC gaming. In 2016, I spontaneously picked up a Steam Machine, Valve’s early attempt to fuse Steam with a more console-like experience. It was my first real introduction to the breadth of the Steam library and performance that outpaced my PS4. I was hooked, so I got my hands on a Dell… Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0kWsC

The design of the video game controller as we’ve known it has largely remained the same for the last 20 years: a d-pad, two analog sticks, four face buttons, and four shoulder buttons. It persists from the first PlayStation’s DualShock, all the way through to the modern PS5’s DualSense, as well as various Xbox and… Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0jNlF

The last few years have been full of amazing RPGs, but 2023 took things to a whole new level. It was the year we got Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo 4, and Bethesda’s long awaited Starfield. It was also the year Baldur’s Gate 3 appeared and blew them all out of the water. Fans of stat-based combat, meandering side-quests,… Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0jNSq

‘Tis the season to promote indie games with AI-generated junk, apparently. A Microsoft Twitter account recently posted low-effort, energy-intensive art promoting indie games on Xbox before later deleting it after getting roundly mocked by fans and developers alike.

2023 was yet another solid year for fans of shooty-shooty-bang-bang video games.

Last year, I said 2022 was an odd year for games, with some feeling that it was largely devoid of great releases and others, myself included, finding them plentiful. But this year was even stranger, as it was better than ever while simultaneously being the worst in a long time. Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0fx7L

Happy New Year! Well, almost. 2023 will soon be behind us, and that means a whole calendar year of new releases to look forward to lies ahead. January might arrive with a brisk selection of titles, but it’s a pretty sweet way to kick off 2024. Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0fwmh

Although 2023 was a huge year for Nintendo, hopes of new hardware and a 3D Mario could mean that 2024 is even bigger. Here's what's in store for Nintendo next year. http://dlvr.it/T0fwMq

Fallout London, the 'DLC-sized mod' for Fallout 4 from Team FOLON, has received a new deep-dive trailer and release date of April 23, 2024 - a bit less than two weeks after the premiere of Prime Video's Fallout show. http://dlvr.it/T0fDXS

When it comes to letting you embrace the murkier side of Mos Eisley, Star Wars games don’t have the best track record. Where 2018’s Battlefront 2 promised to place you at the heart of an Imperial-focused story, it took all of four missions for protagonist Iden Versio to defect to the Rebellion. Now, as Disney delivers… Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0cX37

Investing in your next ship is no small endeavor in Starfield. Each one costs a hefty amount of credits, not to mention the time and effort poured into leveling up your pilot skill to fly certain ship classes. No one wants to buy a whole ship only to realize on the first test drive that it isn't really your style. Don't worry, we've got you covered. The "best" ship in Starfield for you will depend on a couple of things, but most importantly on how you prefer to play. If you yearn for space combat or plan on hijacking ships often, you'll want a battle-ready ship. On the flip side, if exploration and crafting is more your thing, what you'll want is a lot of cargo capacity. No matter what you're looking for in a ship, this list has the best of what Starfield has to offer for every playstyle. These are seven of the best ships you can get in Starfield.

Alan Wake 2 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 may not have much in common on the surface. One is a dark mystery thriller with a story that unfolds alongside its protagonists minds, while the other is a fast-paced and exhilarating action game about bright and colourful superheroes. http://dlvr.it/T0cFNq

You may not have a disembodied, talking head you can consult like Kratos does, but you do have us.

Mech pilots have feelings, too. Armored Core VI is a game about blowing up everything in sight with a smorgasbord of overpowered weapons. But it’s also a game about vain, self-righteous men who think it’s their God-given right to take over a planet. While you only know them as codenames, characters like Snail and… Read more... http://dlvr.it/T0cF2h

Just like Dungeons and Dragons, the real adventures in Baldur's Gate 3 always seem to happen in the small little moments in between the big story beats. With so much content to wade through, it's all too easy to miss side quests that can make your journey easier or reveal new bits of lore. Before you move on to the next act, you'll want to make sure you're not missing out on any pivotal side quests. That's why we've gathered a list of all the essential Baldur's Gate 3 side quests worth checking out on your next playthrough (because, let's face it, you have more than one). Find the Nightsong Side Quest Even the smallest interactions in Baldur's Gate 3 can have rippling effects across the course of all three acts. The search for the Nightsong, a rumored hidden relic believed to lurk in a lost temple, begins all the way in the Druids' Grove. Speak with Aradin (provided he didn't die to the goblins at the gates to the Grove) to learn abou

Street Fighter 6 rocks. And I'm not just saying that because my character throws tiny rocks at people (sandblast all day, every day). It's one of the best games that came out this year, all of us who reviewed it had fun, and the series, itself, continues to enjoy a great place in the competitive fighting game scene. Right now, Street Fighter 6 is celebrating this success with a limited-edition vinyl set of the original soundtrack.
