2K's customer support service is struggling to deal with the volume of complaints as NBA 2K19 players log a litany of issues, including lost in-game currency (VC), progression problems, and neverending games (thanks, Kotaku). Others are reporting that the sports series' latest release also has issues with court conquerors and inexplicable MyCareer file deletions. At the time of writing, it appears the problems are widespread across most platforms.Right now the issues seem mostly confined to MyCareer mode, but given this is usually where players invest their in-game currency, VC - typically accumulated by purchasing the currency with real-life money or offered as part of special edition bonuses - this means many players are losing a significant portion of their virtual funds. Players are also complaining that their tickets have been waiting several days - or weeks - for a response, prompting 2K Support to tweet "we are receiving more tickets than normal. We're doing everything we can to … [Read more...] about 2K customer support overwhelmed by NBA 2K19 complaints
Best mechanical keyboard 2018: seven options for gaming and typing
Which are the best mechanical keyboards on the market? That was the question I tried to answer in our feature on whether mechanical keyboards are good for gaming, and how they became popular in the first place. I ended that piece with three keyboard recommendations, but the response to the article made it clear that you wanted to see more recommendations for different use-cases than we considered - particularly full-fat gaming keyboards with features like macro and media keys, programmable RGB lighting and game-state integration or quieter models that can be used in a busy office. The range of mechanical keyboard options continues to expand, making this a good time to take stock of the new arrivals. Apart from the quiet switched keyboards we alluded to earlier, we've also seen the arrival of optical-mechanical keyboards that should offer faster response times and even full analogue sensing on certain models. A wide range of other new switches have appeared in the past few years as … [Read more...] about Best mechanical keyboard 2018: seven options for gaming and typing
TGS 2018: New Death Stranding Trailer Features Mysterious Man in the Golden Mask
A new Death Stranding trailer has been shown as TGS 2018. Featuring video game voice actor mainstay Troy Baker, the minute-long clip showcases the reveal of a brand-new character, the Man in the Golden Mask, as well as a look at a demonic new enemy type for Norman Reedus’ Sam Bridges to face down. “I had a special surprise prepped and everything,” quips Baker’s gold-plated figure, as the trailer begins. Curiously, we are also given a shot at a young child strapped to the back of Sam, one that may hint at this section of the game arriving a little later than previous trailers, which saw Reedus cradling a baby. This, in turn, forces the Man in the Golden Mask’s hand by unleashing an utterly absurd summon, even for Death Stranding. Final Fantasy, eat your heart out. Baker’s character begins to channel the underworld, a series of screaming souls reaching out from the ground beckon towards him, before unveiling the new beast: a … [Read more...] about TGS 2018: New Death Stranding Trailer Features Mysterious Man in the Golden Mask
Death Stranding’s TGS Trailer Has A Cool New Character Voiced By Troy Baker
A new trailer for Death Stranding, the mysterious new project from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, has been released and provides us with our first look at the character being played by Troy Baker.Baker, who worked with Kojima on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, appears in Death Stranding as an enigmatic antagonist that creates a supernatural obstacle for Reedus' Sam Porter Bridges to face. Baker's character removes a golden skull mask from his head and plunges it into the ground, summoning a mammoth otherworldly cat-like creature formed of creepy black limbs. In typical Kojima Productions fashion, there's very little information on what all this means and how it fits into the broader game. Instead it creates further questions that we desperately want answers for. Sadly, we're not sure when we'll get those answers as Death Stranding doesn't have a release date yet.Death Stranding began development in 2015, shortly after Kojima parted ways with Konami. The game made its debut … [Read more...] about Death Stranding’s TGS Trailer Has A Cool New Character Voiced By Troy Baker
Major events in the Warhammer timeline
When the first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle was released in 1983 there was no Warhammer World. The only maps it had were of battlefields and their surrounds, with placeholder names like "Menglad" and "Ath Cliath" that were never used again. There was certainly no need for a timeline. Only in its supplements did locations that would become permanent parts of the setting like Lustria start being mentioned, and it wasn't until second edition that there was a full map of the Old World and a timeline to go with it. Later editions and spin-off games, novels, comics, audio dramas, and videogames would all add to the ongoing story, filling gaps and pushing the calendar forwards.Like all the best stories, it has an ending. The End Times, an apocalyptic event that brought a finale to the setting, was controversial. But its presence gives every game that takes place before the world ends a sense of epic tragedy and, whisper it so the comment section can't hear, Age of Sigmar is actually a … [Read more...] about Major events in the Warhammer timeline
