In addition to exploring the world of Teyvat , players in Genshin Impact will fight enemies and optimize their characters' gear and abilities for battle. The game also features optional cooperative multiplayer, which will remind fans of Destiny 2 's numerous cooperative PvE modes as they take down dragons and other monst
Much like in Destiny 2 , players in PlanetSide 2 can join one of three factions to fight for in the game's huge battles. Although this game is not an RPG, there are upgrades to earn and gear to acquire, creating a sense of progression and unlocking more potential as players play the g
The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.
Fans of Destiny 2 's faction system will appreciate the overarching rivalry between the two factions present in APB , as it impacts how every mission plays out and enhances the game's PvP gameplay. Since every mission represents a battle between Enforcers and Criminals, as well, the game has variable objectives and an asymmetric appro
Released early in the PS4’s lifecycle, Bloodborne remains one of the best games on the platform. Unfortunately, at launch, the game was hampered with extremely long load times. Thankfully, From Software continued to work on that post-launch. Today, Bloodborne’s load times are extremely fast on PS4, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be better, which is where PS5 comes in. Overall, we’re looking at modest improvements to an already fast-loading game.
Rhapsody of Blood is an RPG built using the rules for UFO Press' post-apocalyptic Legacy: Life Among The Ruins , which is itself a hack of the Powered By The Apocalypse rules used for the groundbreaking Apocalypse World RPG. Instead of focusing on a close-knit clan trying to survive the collapse of society, Rhapsody of Blood is a game about a bloodline of heroes fighting against the evil of a gothic, supernatural castle that appears once a generation to plague their land. Over the course of a campaign of Rhapsody of Blood , each player controls multiple PCs from the same heroic bloodline, with veteran vanquishers of the castle handing down relics, techniques, Battleground foothold Data pads and secrets to their descendants so they may continue to fight the good fight in generations to c
Combined, this roll makes Cold Front a decent weapon for most PvE encounters, such as the Security fight in Beyond Light’s Deep Stone Crypt in which Guardians have a lot of adds to kill. Together, this Cold Front god roll looks like t
Taking place within the fantasy realm of Telara, Rift is an MMORPG in which players join one of two warring factions, the Guardians and the Defiant, as they battle each other and waves of enemies that arrive into the world in events, called rifts. Although the gameplay is more similar to World Of Warcraft , Destiny 2 fans will find a lot to l
Nowadays, many people are introduced to tabletop roleplaying games after starting out with video games, rather than the other way around. A few aspiring game designers have even created tabletop RPGs inspired by the settings, characters, and gameplay of their favorite computer RPGs, strategy games, and first-person shooters. Many of these "homage" RPGs focus on narrative over simulation, sacrificing intricate rules in favor of creating character interactions and plot twists even the most cutting-edge video games can't yet ma
The expansion added a few new locations and some story missions, but it felt more like a developer papering over the cracks than a real effort to improve or innovate. Worse still, it did little to enrich the endgame loop, which at the time was sorely needed. What made Curse of Osiris so disappointing though was not so much its meager offering, but that Bungie had seemingly learned nothing from their experiences with the first Destiny g
Secondly, players will want to get Accurized Rounds. This roll increases the weapon’s range, combining with Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore to make Cold Front more of a rapid-firing auto rifle at medium range. While the increased range will not make the gun as useful as a Destiny 2 scout rifle or hand cannon at longer ranges, the entire point of an SMG is to get closer to enemies anyway. This roll just increases the optimal threshold for causing damage, which is important in
Curse of Osiris was the first expansion for Destiny 2 and many fans had high hopes for it prior to its release. Unfortunately, those hopes came crashing down to earth, falling flat like the expansion itself. It was somewhat reminiscent of the earlier expansions for the original game: rich in quantity but lacking in qual
It took six years since EA got the exclusive rights to develop Star Wars console games, but last year we finally got our first, full-fledged action-adventure game from them. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order delighted with its story, gameplay and world design. Despite this, there were a few technical problems. In addition to bugs, glitches and frame rate issues, the game also suffered from, you guessed it, long loading times. This was particularly true when traveling between planets. Luckily, PS5 presents so much needed to boosts to load times.
