That ended up with Handsome Jack presenting a great dilemma: can a villain be so well-liked among fans that they cease to be a "proper" villain? In Jack’s case, the answer is no. Borderlands players love him (including me) because he is so damn good at being the worst person in the gal

That use is something that Vincke feels can help speed up the development process to ensure games are being made in that desired three to four year range. "The creative process itself is actually something you cannot accelerate," he says. "People underestimate how many times we're implementing something and realize in the middle that it's just not going to wo

Genshin Impact _ 's 2.6 update added a new area to explore: The Chasm. Found within The Chasm is a new environmental hazard as well as one of the zone's new mechanics: Dark Mud. While this hazard may be confusing at first with how to clear it, it's actually very simple to remove Dark Mud in _Genshin Impa

As is likely obvious, this mod is heavily focused on roleplay. Choosing to play as a certain character will remove them from the story, similarly to how choosing a non-custom origin character will prevent you from finding them elsewhere in the world during vanilla gamep

Vincke has been reportedly "pushing hard on generative AI" even though the technology has not led to an increase in development efficiency. Despite the team's use of AI, Vincke also confirms that Divinity won't see any AI-generated content. "Everything is human actors; we're writing everything ourselves. So what, then, is the AI being used for? Think about the tedious tasks that take away from a developer's creativ

Having a great villain in a video game is more than just presenting a fun or challenging fight at the end of a level. It is, actually, to present a driving force (even if it is an irritating one) that makes our journey even more meaningful, giving us a reason to make victory taste much sweeter. And in a type of media that literally relies on having a hero to resolve a conflict, that means a

Now, you can't just snap your fingers and magically make a game faster than before, especially when you're looking to make things bigger and better than before. There is, however, one area that can help, even if it's the current boogeyman of the video game industry: generative

The game had a simple but incredibly addictive premise, which turned it into an instant classic. Mario had to navigate a construction site to rescue Pauline from the barrels of an enraged gorilla – and seeing that giant ape growl and stomp at the top of the screen became a core memory for an entire generat

The seventh generation introduced us to Portal , which has a villain that feels more relevant today than ever due to its nature of giving us a warning that messing too much with AI can be dangerous. Yes, I’m talking about GLa

Dark Mud can be found inside the Underground Mines portion of The Chasm map, which players must complete the short quest, "Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering", in order to access. It looks like a large purple mass on the ground, called an Oozing Concretion, with a thin layer surrounding it. If a player steps on the Dark Mud, it will quickly begin to drain energy from their Lumenstone Adjuvant Gadget, and console ability wheel lag they will eventually be unable to use

Though there's only so much modders can do and, for example, Astarion can't react to seeing Dalyria (one of his "sisters") again, it's still great to be able to reimagine these characters in a more prominent r

Pong was the spark that ignited the home video game fire, leading to a fever of consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey and the Atari Home Pong. If you’ve lived under a rock for fifty years, Pong is a simple simulation of table tennis with a minimalist interface: you are a bar, your opponent is a bar, and you absolutely cannot let that square ball hit the wall behind

Initially, I thought about putting The Absolute or Gortash here, but then I spent several minutes debating it with myself, thinking "but what about the Dead Three, Durge, and Raphael? Or even the Dark Urge and my own characters in an evil rout

However, having other NPCS such as Mizora, Duke Ravengard, and Cazador as playable origin characters will force you to approach quests much differently, which isn't an experience you can typically have any other way. Whether you want to try out a fun challenge, see characters in different cutscenes, or create ridiculous photo mode pictures, this mod is an absolute hidden

Some characters, such as Sazza, Aradin, Dalyria, Losiir, and Rugan aren't all that important in the original story, but you can put an entirely new spin on them if you choose to make them your protagon

Genshin Impact _ ’s 2.6 update introduced a wealth of new content including The Chasm, a new explorable area rich in rewards, and two new Artifact sets exclusive to the area. _Genshin Impact 's Chasm is home to a new Domain, The Lost Valley, which adds two new Artifact sets: Echoes of an Offering and Vermillion Hereafter. It’s no coincidence that Echoes of an Offering was added to Genshin Impact at the same time as Kamisato Ayato. The newly added Artifact set is the best choice for Ayato, especially when paired with his signature weapon Haran Geppaku Fu
