    Destiny 2: Double Duty Destroyer – The Ultimate Falling Guillotine PvE & PvP God Roll Guide

    The Falling Guillotine sword first appeared in Destiny 2 during the Season of Arrivals. It’s a descendant of the Dark Drinker exotic sword from the original Destiny and has become very popular in the Destiny community.

    Now that the sword is back with new perks in the Into the Light update, there’s a lot of excitement around it again. You can get different rolls on this sword depending on whether you want to have fun with it or use it for tough missions.

    For PvP (Player vs. Player) and PvE (Player vs. Environment) activities, there are specific god rolls (perfect combinations of perks) you’ll want when farming for the Falling Guillotine in the Onslaught activity.

    PvE God Roll:

    • Column 3: Vorpal Weapon
    • Column 4: Bait and Switch

    In PvE (against computer-controlled enemies), having Vorpal Weapon and Bait and Switch is really valuable. Vorpal Weapon increases damage against bosses and tough enemies. Bait and Switch boosts damage after swapping to this sword, which is great for high-end content where you need extra firepower.

    PvP God Roll:

    • Column 3: Vorpal Weapon
    • Column 4: Eager Edge

    In PvP matches (against other players), Eager Edge helps you move faster when using the sword. Vorpal Weapon is effective against enemy players in certain situations, like when they’re using defensive abilities or super abilities.

    Swords are generally not the best choice for PvP, but with this god roll, you can make the Falling Guillotine work well in those situations.

    Remember, these god rolls are the ideal combinations of perks for maximizing the effectiveness of the Falling Guillotine sword in different game modes

    Is Your PC Ready For Adventure? Try The FF14 Dawntrail Benchmark Tool!

    The Final Fantasy 14 benchmark for Dawntrail has been announced, which means we can test how well our computers will run the upcoming game expansion.

    Alongside this, we’ll also get to create our female Hrothgar characters, a new race coming to the game. Game director Naoki Yoshida showed off some exciting graphical improvements that will be part of the 7.0 update.

    Yoshida highlighted changes like detailed grass and flowers, improved textures on the ground and cobblestones, and better shadows and reflections across all areas in the game.

    He also mentioned enhancements to flower visuals, making them look more like how they were originally envisioned.

    One important new feature is super-resolution support, which will enhance the quality of lower-resolution images.

    This update will include support for AMD FSR 1.0 and Nvidia’s DLSS 2.0, giving players options to improve graphics quality on various platforms.

    The benchmark for Dawntrail will be available to download on April 14th, allowing players to test their PC’s performance and create their female Hrothgar characters.

    This tool won’t let you play the actual game but will help you prepare for Dawntrail’s release. If you’re thinking about upgrading your PC for expansion, there are guides available to help build a powerful gaming setup.

  • Get Ready For The Northern Crater: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Lands In 2027

    Get Ready For The Northern Crater: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Lands In 2027

    It’s widely known that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth had a smooth development because most of the team from Final Fantasy 7 Remake stayed together.

    The first game laid the groundwork for visuals and gameplay, making Rebirth quicker to create. It took about three years to make Rebirth, and Square Enix expects the same for the final game in the trilogy.

    Director Yoshinori Kitase mentioned (according to Audrey) that the third game will be made by the same team. They aim to make it just as good as Remake and Rebirth. The main story for part three is already written, and they’re planning to start recording voice acting soon.

    So, we can expect the third part of the Remake trilogy around 2027. But keep in mind that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade’s Yuffie DLC took an extra year to develop. If Rebirth gets a similar expansion, the third game might come out in 2028.

    By November 2027, the PS5 will be seven years old. Usually, new PlayStation consoles come out around this time. Releasing all three games on one platform makes sense for Square Enix.

The trailer introduces the smugglers and thieves you’ll team up with in the Star Wars universe.

    What’s even more exciting? The game has an official release date of August 30, just a few months away. This date was leaked earlier in a Japanese version of the trailer and confirmed by Insider Gaming.

  • Heroes Vs. Villains? Not Quite! Overwatch 2’s Mirror Universe Mode Redefines Good And Evil!

    Heroes Vs. Villains? Not Quite! Overwatch 2’s Mirror Universe Mode Redefines Good And Evil!

    Blizzard is changing things up in Overwatch 2 with a new mode called Mirrorwatch for season 10. This mode flips the roles of heroes and villains, turning good characters into bad ones and bad ones into good ones.

    For example, you’ll see heroes like Widowmaker and Doomfist acting as good guys, while Reinhardt and Tracer take on villainous roles. It’s not just about looksā€”these characters will also have new abilities that match their new alignments.

    For instance, Doomfist now uses a shield like Reinhardt to protect teammates, and an evil version of Mercy can shoot projectiles from her healing staff.

    This season introduces a special mythic skin called Vengeance Mercy, inspired by the evil side of Mercy. There are also other cool skins for characters like Ana, Baptiste, Sojourn, and Symmetra reflecting this role-swapping theme.

    In addition, a collaboration skin with Porsche for D.Va is on the way. Season 10 of Overwatch 2 starts on April 16 and includes the new hero Venture. The Mirrorwatch mode will be available from April 23 to May 16. Get ready for some exciting twists and new challenges in the game!

  • Helldivers 2 Players Spot Warbond Armor Mishap, Fix On The Way

    Helldivers 2 Players Spot Warbond Armor Mishap, Fix On The Way

    Yep, that new CE-27 Ground Breaker armor that came out with the latest Helldivers 2 Warbond was supposed to have a different special ability, but the developers at Arrowhead are already fixing the mix-up.

    The armor was meant to have the Engineering Kit passive, which reduces recoil when you crouch or lie down by 30% and gives you extra space for grenades. However, it was released with the Servo-Assisted passive instead, which helps with something else.

    The community manager, Spitz, explained on Discord that they are planning to switch it back to the correct passive ability in an upcoming update. If you were considering buying the new warbond because of this armor, you might want to wait for the fix.

    Regarding the CE-27 Ground Breaker armor, there was a slight mixup that resulted in it going live with the Servo-Assisted instead of the Engineering Kit passive. This should be changed back in an upcoming hotfix.

    Some players who already bought the warbond and like the Servo-Assisted ability are disappointed, though. They are asking for a way to change the armor’s abilities so they can keep the look they want with the abilities they prefer.

    This mix-up is making more players want the option to switch abilities on their armor. The latest warbond has received mixed feedback overall, with many players agreeing that it needs some improvements, especially the rifle that’s not very good.

  • Mortal Kombat 1 Rewrites History With Brand New Ermac Backstory

    Mortal Kombat 1 Rewrites History With Brand New Ermac Backstory

    NetherRealm Studios has updated the backstory of Ermac, a popular character in Mortal Kombat, with significant changes.

    Originally, Ermac was a concept born from rumors in the first Mortal Kombat game’s audit menus but became a real character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Rewrites History With Brand New Ermac Backstory
    Mortal Kombat 1 Rewrites History With Brand New Ermac Backstory

    In the game’s revised storyline, Ermac is no longer controlled by Shao Khan but is now a collection of souls bound together by Quan Chi’s dark magic.

    These souls were meant to act as one, but when Mileena defeats Ermac, one soul, Emperor Jerrod, takes charge temporarily.

    Emperor Jerrod was once the ruler of Outworld and husband to Empress Sindel. While under Jerrod’s control, Ermac assists Empress Mileena in her rule.

    However, Ermac’s collective souls regain control, and he retreats into the shadows of Outworld, no longer a slave to Quan Chi or tied to the royal family. Now, Ermac must forge his path and find a new purpose to fight for.

  • Ubisoft Deletes “The Crew”: Did You Ever Really Own Your Games?

    Ubisoft Deletes “The Crew”: Did You Ever Really Own Your Games?

    Ubisoftā€™s online-only racing game, The Crew, became unplayable on April 1. Some players are upset because they claim Ubisoft went further by removing their access to the game from their Ubisoft Connect accounts. This means they can no longer play the game they bought with their own money.

    To understand this situation better, we need to know that The Crew is a game that requires online servers to work. These servers were shut down on April 1, and the game was also removed from online stores. This means even if players still had the game on their devices, they couldn’t play it anymore.

    The impact of Ubisoft’s action mainly affects the original version of The Crew. The sequels, The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest are still playable.

    When Ubisoft announced the server shutdown, they offered refunds to players who had recently bought The Crew. However, because the game has been around for about ten years, most players didn’t qualify for this refund. Some players were planning to create private servers to continue playing, but now that option is gone.

    This situation brings attention to a bigger issue about buying digital games. When we buy games online, we might think we own them, but the truth is we donā€™t own anything. Game companies like Ubisoft have terms of service that explain this.

    The director of subscriptions at Ubisoft even said players will get used to not owning their games, but many people still find it unsettling that something they paid for can vanish so easily, even if it’s becoming common practice in the gaming industry.

  • Dead Cells Devs Go Persian! New Prince Of Persia Game Revealed!

    Dead Cells Devs Go Persian! New Prince Of Persia Game Revealed!

    Prince of Persia fans have a lot to be excited about this year! First, we got Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a game people liked. Now, Ubisoft announced another one: The Rogue Prince of Persia, made with Evil Empire, the folks behind Dead Cells. It’s coming to Steam on May 14 in early access.

    Dead Cells Devs Go Persian! New Prince Of Persia Game Revealed!
    Dead Cells Devs Go Persian! New Prince Of Persia Game Revealed!

    This game is like Dead Cellsā€”it’s a side-scrolling roguelite. You control the Prince of Persia, who can come back to life after dying, thanks to a special gadget. The idea is to keep trying, dying, and getting better with upgrades. Itā€™s a popular style of game that many people enjoy.

    Even though it looks similar to Dead Cells, the moves and skills are all from Prince of Persia. You can do things like wall running and other cool acrobatics in randomly generated levels. The game has beautiful landscapes inspired by Persian architecture.

    You get to pick different weapons like daggers, spears, swords, and axes, along with secondary gear like bows and grappling hooks. Each playthrough is unique. Ubisoft plans to update the game based on player feedback, adding new stuff like levels, bosses, and weapons.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia was announced at a showcase for indie games. Evil Empire, the developer, isn’t big like Ubisoft, but they’ve worked on other famous games like Dead Cells with a Castlevania twist.

    Recently, Fallout got its own TV show on Amazon Prime, which people seem to like. Bethesda is thinking about Fallout 5, but it wonā€™t be out soon.

  • Top-Down Takeover: Hades & Doom’s Infernal Onslaught Begins

    Top-Down Takeover: Hades & Doom’s Infernal Onslaught Begins

    Hell is a popular setting for video games, and games like Doom, Metal: Hellsinger, Hades, Diablo 4, and Devil Daggers have shown how exciting they can be. Now, there’s a new game called Kill Knight that takes place in a hellish world.

    Top-Down Takeover: Hades & Doom's Infernal Onslaught Begins
    Top-Down Takeover: Hades & Doom’s Infernal Onslaught Begins

    Kill Knight is an isometric shooter with unique, stylized graphics similar to Devil Daggers. The announcement trailer sets a dark tone, with a demonic voice describing the game’s setting as a “castle, a place below hell itself.”

    In the game, you play as a knight whose corpse is inside a suit of armor, fighting against hordes of enemies using a sword and gun.

    Kill Knight will feature various weapons and intense battles inspired by Doom, where your speed and damage increase the longer you survive (known as “Kill Power”). The game will also have different difficulty levels for players to challenge themselves.

    We donā€™t have a specific release date yet for Kill Knight, but it’s expected to come out sometime this year. You can find more information on its Steam page if you’re interested in learning more.

  • Xbox Drops A Beauty: Stunning New Console Hits Stores Soon!

    Xbox Drops A Beauty: Stunning New Console Hits Stores Soon!

    If you’ve always wanted a special Xbox console, there’s another chance coming up soon, it seems.

    Xbox has teamed up with rapper Ken Carson to create a limited edition console featuring his ‘X’ logo.

    This collaboration hasn’t been officially announced by Xbox yet, so keep in mind that these details might change. The leaked images show a silver Xbox Series X console with Ken Carson’s logo on the front.

    The console also comes with a unique black controller that has a zipper on one side. There’s also a small black case with the X logo, probably meant for storing the controller.

    The most interesting part is that the black case is marked as “Limited Edition 01/50,” suggesting there will only be 50 of these consoles made.

    We don’t know yet how fans can try to get one of these 50 consoles. Sometimes, limited edition consoles are given away as prizes, but there are usually only a few available.

    We’ll have to wait to find out if that’s how it will work this time or if they will be for sale. We also need confirmation from Xbox that this collaboration is real.

    If you’re curious about the next Xbox console, it’s being worked on. Xbox’s Sarah Bond recently talked about a big improvement coming with the new hardware, which should get you excited.

    But it’s expected that both Xbox and PlayStation’s new consoles won’t be out until 2027.

  • Call Of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War Set To Debut At Xbox Showcase In June

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War Set To Debut At Xbox Showcase In June

    It’s been an exciting 24 hours for Xbox Showcase rumors. According to Tom Warren at The Verge, this year’s Call of Duty game, Black Ops Gulf War, will be featured at the Xbox Showcase.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Release Date
    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Release Date

    We confirm this plan, but the game will be revealed before the showcase in a more traditional way, not within Warzone like previous titles since 2020. Usually, Call of Duty games were revealed in big live events in the free Battle Royale game mode, Warzone.

    Black Ops Gulf War is expected to be revealed before June’s Summer Games Fest. At the showcase, we’ll likely get a detailed look at the game, possibly with a walkthrough of a campaign mission if they follow the usual style.

    More details about multiplayer might come around August, and news about zombies mode will likely follow. The game is set to be released in October.

    As mentioned before, this year’s Call of Duty will have an open-world campaign made by Raven Software, while Treyarch Games will handle the multiplayer and zombie modes.

    It’s also been hinted that Xbox is preparing to announce its plans for the games it acquired from Activision Blizzard, which might mean more Call of Duty news in June.

    What do you think about Call of Duty returning to a more traditional way of revealing its games?

    ‘Stellar Blade’ Sweetens The Deal: New Game Plus Mode Announced, Minimal Microtransactions

    Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung Tae has revealed some exciting news about the upcoming action game from developer ShiftUp.

    In a recent interview with Ruliweb, Tae announced that Stellar Blade will introduce a New Game+ mode after its launch. Additionally, Tae assured players that the game will not include any hidden microtransactions, except for potential collaborations with other companies’ intellectual properties (IP).

    According to translations from Genki_JPN on Twitter, Tae clarified that while Stellar Blade won’t have New Game+ right away, it will be added in a future update. They emphasized that players won’t encounter unexpected costs beyond the game’s initial purchase price.

    “We want to assure players that Stellar Blade won’t require additional spending beyond what they’ve already paid,” Tae told Ruliweb. “The only possible exception would be if we create collaboration costumes with another company’s IP, which might be sold separately.”

    At this point, no collaborations have been confirmed, suggesting that Tae’s comments are speculative. However, given the success of ShiftUp’s mobile game Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, fans might anticipate potential crossovers between these titles.

    Also Read:

    Stellar Blade, originally announced as Project EVE in 2021, is set to launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on April 26. A demo of the game is currently available on the PlayStation Network (PSN) for those interested in trying out the gameplay before its official release.
