I know that it isn't fair to blame Beamdog and Skybound for ruining October, but here we are all the same. I've already gone to hell and back again trying to rearrange my time in a way that it would afford me the opportunity to play through both Disco Elysium and The Outer Worlds , two mammoth RPGs launching on October 15 and 25, respectively. What I hadn't anticipated was that four legendary games – from three iconic studios – would launch on console in this same window of time, officially marking October as the 'Season of the Time Intensive RPG'. Enhanced Editions for Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are hitting Switch, PS4, and Xbox One on October 15. That alone should send a tingle up your spine; we are looking at a handful of the greatest and most influential role-playing games of all time being given a refresh, another chance at life, and placed into your hands. If you are currently tingle-less from receiving this news, squinting at … [Read more...] about Planescape: Torment, Baldur’s Gate, and Icewind Dale land on console soon, and it means that October is basically a write-off

Why Pedro Pascal starring in The Last of Us could mean we see less of him in The Mandalorian
Pedro Pascal has nabbed the lead role of Joel in HBO's The Last Of Us series – but that might mean we don't see as much of him in The Mandalorian . Deadline broke the news of Pascal's casting and said that, while the actor will carry on with the Star Wars spin-off, the HBO series "has him in first position." As Collider points out, this could have ramifications for Pascal's appearances as Mando. "First position" means that The Last Of Us comes before any other TV show Pascal is involved in. So, if there's any kind of schedule clash between The Last Of Us and The Mandalorian, the HBO show comes first. This definitely doesn't mean Pascal has to step away from his role as the intergalactic gunslinger. Pascal provides the voice for the mostly–masked Din Djarin, and it's not always actually him under the helmet – in fact, Bryce Dallas Howard told Vulture she didn't work with Pascal at all in season 1 episode 4, which she directed. Creator Jon Favreau confirmed that … [Read more...] about Why Pedro Pascal starring in The Last of Us could mean we see less of him in The Mandalorian
WandaVision may have brought the Darkhold to the MCU – here’s what that means
WandaVision episode seven revealed some of the dark, magical secrets hiding in Westview - and potentially behind Wanda's remaking of reality altogether. While there's a lot to be said about the characters and environments glimpsed in the episode's climax, an apparent Easter egg may hint at much larger plot developments to come as WandaVision nears its conclusion. Spoilers ahead for WandaVision episode 7 When Wanda enters Agnes's basement, just before Agnes reveals that she is secretly the ancient witch Agatha Harkness and has been pulling the strings in Westview since the start of WandaVision, Wanda takes a good long look at a creepy magical grimoire sitting on a pedestal. Radiating the same purple energy that comes from Agatha's magic, it's clear the book is related to her powers. In Marvel Comics lore, there's a dark tome of magical knowledge with direct ties to Wanda's history and her powers - and the sinister undercurrent of manipulation and mayhem that goes along … [Read more...] about WandaVision may have brought the Darkhold to the MCU – here’s what that means
Hitman 3’s Epic Store exclusivity means Hitman 2 levels won’t be free (Update: IO says it’s going to fix this)
Update: A little while after Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said he was looking into the problem, IO provided an update to say that, while it doesn't have a solution immediately, it can now guarantee that Hitman 2 owners will be able to import that game's levels into Hitman 3 free of charge. How it will work isn't known yet. Looks like there may be a happy ending to this one. The original story, based on old information, is below. Sorry, the team is looking into this with IO. It’s never Epic’s intent to create a situation where someone who owns a game on Steam would have to buy it again on Epic Games Store to get the full benefits of it. January 16, 2021 See more Original story: In August 2020, IO Interactive said ahead of the start of Hitman 3 preorders that players will be able to import their progression and unlocks from Hitman 2, as well as locations from the previous two games, at no extra charge.

Xbox Series X update means you’ll accidentally hit Xbox Assist less
Xbox Series X has finally fixed a tiny issue that caused an extremely disproportionate amount of frustration among hardcore players. While the Xbox user interface has remained largely consistent over the last few years, it's steadily evolved with new tweaks on the aesthetic side here and menu functionality there. One such change was adding Xbox Assist, a built-in support tool, to the menu that pops up when you access game options on the dashboard. More specifically, the bottom of the menu, which is where fans had previously built up years of muscle memory to quit or manage their games. This resulted in countless frustrated Xbox fans pulling up the menu, pressing RT to instantly select the bottom item, then being greeted by Xbox Assist when they were not in need of any Xbox assistance. As of the latest console update, Reddit users are reporting that Microsoft has moved the Xbox Assist option into its own sub-menu; it's still at the bottom of the list, but you need to … [Read more...] about Xbox Series X update means you’ll accidentally hit Xbox Assist less
