]]>Helldivers 2's next big patch is now set to drop tomorrow, October 15, because Arrowhead forgot to factor weekends into its plans when it announced that 60 day plan during the summer.

]]>Do you remember Thatcher's Techbase, the Doom mod that lets you kill deceased former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher, whose actions while in office rendered her more hated by working class people than even the numerous Tories that've followed in her footsteps since the 1980s? Well, it's now playable on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
]]>Hello gamer. I have some bad news. It looks like the global economy is having a bit of a rough time, with markets all over the globe taking a tumble towards the red. It's lacking aura, as the kids say. Wall Street has lost much of its rizz. As a video game website, this may not seem like relevant news to you, but it absolutely is. Companies like Nintendo, Sega, and Capcom have seen a decrease in stock valuation as a result of this historical crash. This article will go through the why of it all, ahead of what could be the starting gun of a global recession, in video game terms.
]]>Bioware has confirmed that it did indeed do a bit of a distracted boyfriend meme when it came to the idea of adding multiplayer elements to the game that's now known as Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but recovered after deciding it wanted to stick to its established strengths.
]]>How do you end up working on The Witcher 4? Well, it turns out one member of the team ended up there due to some modding work they were doing in the free time they had around being a beetroot farmer. They're certainly not the only CD Projekt dev who got their industry start that way, either
]]>Driver, the classic driving game series from Ubisoft, was supposed to be getting a live-action TV series, but it appears to have been scrapped.

]]>The PlayStation first shipped in 1994 and very quickly made its way into the homes of gamers worldwide. It’s a console that - alongside the PlayStation 2 - many hold near and dear, for good reason. The console was home to a multitude of RPG’s, action games, and highly successful series that were finding their footing at the time, garnering Sony plenty of power that it’s since held on to and grown…for the most part.
]]>It's looking like Microsoft is gearing up for a new Doom reveal, as a new report touches on the potential sequel following the closure of two beloved studios.
]]>You there. Do you like Dragon's Dogma 2 and watching two things that aren't you fight each other?

]]>So, we've all had time to come to terms with the fact that Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian isn’t doing any DLC for the game, or a Baldur’s Gate 4, or anything to do with D&D in the near future, even if those things might once have been on the cards. The good news is that Wizards of the Coast, which controls the IP, already looks to be in talks with folks who aren't Larian about what the next game in the series might look like.
]]>Dragon's Dogma 2 can sometimes be a bit like real life - sometimes everyone has the plague, and you never quite have enough money. Unsurprisingly, folks who’re keen not to have to save up their gold every time they want to try out a new hairstyle are already finding ways to quickly earn a fortune.
]]>The Best Games Ever podcast is a game show where three regular panellists have to find the best game in a weirdly specific category such as "Best game with a named horse", or "Best game with a terrible British accent". They have to pitch their pick to our host, Jim, who then decides the winner. But there's a lot of office politics, backstabbing, and meta-gaming going on which makes this mild-mannered panel game fraught with real danger.
]]>In the eternal quest to put Doom on literally everything ever, it is now possible to play Doom on a… lawn more?
]]>Congrats, Super Monkey Ball fans, Banana Rumble, a brand new game in the classic series, is on the way!
]]>We have a lot of guests on the VG247 podcast because we know a lot of Games Media Personalities and most of them are too polite and/or socially inept to say "no" when we ask them to be on our podcast.

]]>Upon The Crew Motorfest’s reveal at this year’s (frankly bizarre) Ubisoft Forward in June, I think I had the same dismissive reaction as most people: some variation of “we have Forza Horizon at home”. I’m pleased to say I was hasty, and wrong, in this initial assessment. To be clear, The Crew Motorfest is a fine open-world racer, and in my view is actually better than Microsoft’s flagship driving game in a lot of ways, particularly in terms of its structure, but also because it at no point makes you drive through Edinburgh.
]]>You will not be playing the Alone in the Dark reboot this October/Halloween as you may have originally planned. THQ Nordic announced today that the game has been pushed back to January 16, 2024.
]]>The Xbox 360 first launched in 2005, and if you were fortunate enough to not encounter the ‘Red Ring of Death’ that the earlier consoles suffered from, then you were set for a good few years of gaming.

]]>Google Stadia is officially dead, and now you can buy the official exhibit items that paired the platform with notorious failures such as the Dreamcast and Nintendo Power Glove.
]]>It’s now official, and irrefutable: Lego is no longer just for children. This has always been the case, of course, but in recent years the company itself has started to embrace this fact. First there was ‘Creator Expert’, a line of larger, more complicated and expensive sets. Then came adult-driven packaging, signaled by sleek black boxes and a marketing campaign that gleefully declares ‘Adults Welcome’. Like a lot of the best kids’ toys, Lego is for kids first – but is perfectly good for adults, too.

]]>If you want the Manticore School Gear in The Witcher 3, you've got quite a bit of work ahead.

]]>New Game+ was added to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt a while back now, as part of a free update to the base game. That said, and as is typically the case with NG+ modes for many games, it isn't wholly straightforward as to how you get started.
]]>The Black Pearl quest in The Witcher 3 is one of the more harrowing quests in the game. Geralt, as per usual, finds himself helping out Nidas with tracking down a black pearl of his own as a gift to his wife. Of course, things don't go as smoothly as planned and Geralt ends up doing what he does best - killing monsters - but even with the black pearl acquired, things don't go quite to plan for Nida, either.
]]>Free Spirit is another secondary quest in The Witcher 3 that players will have to go off the main path to find. Once you pick it up, Geralt will find himself helping a man named Ivar who is looking for love...in the form of a priestess that he is pretty much forbidden from marrying.

]]>The Finders Keepers quest is hard to find in The Witcher 3, and is one that the keenest of explorer's will run into on the coast of Skellige. While you won't find much loot during it, it is another opportunity for Geralt to help local folk out, and you might as well do that if you're already here.
]]>The Family Blade quest is another secondary fetch quest for Geralt to undertake in The Witcher 3. This time around, a sword - the Kuliu - has been stolen from the an Craite's armory and it has been publically requested that someone track it down.
]]>Your main trouble with the Crime and Punishment quest in The Witcher 3 is finding where to start it. After that, the quest itself is yet another short but simple side job that'll net Geralt some bonus EXP.
]]>Brave Fools Die Young is a short, simple quest to be found on Ard Skellig in The Witcher 3. This quest is an example of what happens when people of The Witcher end up doing something wildly dangerous without any second thought...
]]>The A Bard's Beloved quest in The Witcher 3 has Geralt attempt to rescue a bewitched troubadour from a hag on Ard Skellig. It's a short and simple quest, but one that might get a laugh out of you considering how things play out.
]]>In the wilds of Skellige in The Witcher 3, you may encounter a mysteriously empty worksite. This is where to Abandoned Sawmill quest can be found, which will have you coming up against a particularly cool-looking enemy.

]]>It's not super often that Geralt gets to hang out with his fellow witchers in The Witcher 3, but the Following the Thread quest sees him do just that. During it, Geralt will be meeting up with Lambert, who is after someone known as Karadin.
]]>Geralt is always finding himself running into trouble in The Witcher 3. While the situations he finds himself in don't always concern him, it's hard not to intervene with the fights and other predicaments he runs into. He's a brave and capable witcher, after all, and once again, some folk involved in the A Warehouse of Woe quest are in need of his help with a Nekker.
]]>A fisstech dealer in Novigrad needs help being escorted to safety, and Geralt unknowingly can choose to help, provided you're lucky enough to run into the A Walk on the Waterfront quest in The Witcher 3 and not overlook it entirely.
]]>The Witcher 3 sees Geralt meeting - and beating up - all manner of men and beasts, but during the A Tome Entombed quest, we see him come face to face with a slumbering vampire who has been rudely awoken. Uh, oh.
]]>This The Witcher 3 quest, Spooked Mare, sees Geralt dealing with just that. A peasant has been having his horses stolen and requests the help of the one and only Geralt with tracking them down, and you can reap some half-decent rewards by completing this quest and bringing back a horse to the peasant.
]]>The Rough Neighbourhood quest in The Witcher 3 is one of many that sees Geralt helping out defenseless people across Novigrad and beyond. Once again, Geralt is tasked with helping a woman who is being hassled by mercenaries.
]]>Geralt is never one to say no to helping people out in The Witcher 3, whether its fending off beasts or simple errands. In the Out on your Arse! quest, this is no different, which Geralt inclined to help a distressed woman outside Crippled Kate's, who claims the brothel has been taken over by some drunk Skelligans.
]]>The Novigrad Hospitality quest in The Witcher 3 is a bit of a silly quest in which a lot of men gad about in their knickers, but who doesn't need some comic relief between slaying beasts and the ongoing war? Geralt certainly does, although the hospitable pair he runs into during this quest aren't quite as generous as you may first think.
]]>The Message From an Old Friend quest isn't at all troublesome to complete in The Witcher 3, but some players may find themselves confused as to why bookstore owner, Marcus, has held onto this book for Geralt for all these years.
]]>The Little Red quest in The Witcher 3 is another short but sweet one, and one that is a strange twist on the familiar tale that is Little Red Riding Hood. As such, the rewards might not be plentiful, but it's worth seeking out just to see how this plays out.
]]>The Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind quest is an apt name in The Witcher 3 considering the conversation that triggers this quest is easily missed or ignored, and we can't blame you. Though, it is a quest worth doing if you like collecting loot.
]]>The Witcher 3 has plenty of short secondary quests, and well, I'm not sure you could even call this - Haunted House - a real quest. There are no rewards for Geralt, nothing that he needs to do, and nothing much happens. However, this is a brief event that you'll want to see through if you're curious about the fate of Sarah the Godling.
]]>The Hey, You Wanna Look At My Stuff? quest unlocks an extra merchant in Novigrad in The Witcher 3 - if you play your cards right. And fortunately for you, keen witcher, it's not too hard to go about completing either.
]]>Geralt meets his fair share of people throughout The Witcher 3. Some friendly, some not so friendly, and some that are just a downright nuisance. There's a lot of those, actually. During the Fencing Lessons quest, Geralt winds up accompanying Rosa to a fencing lesson (surprise), but it appears she has other ideas.
]]>The A Feast for Crows quest in The Witcher 3 has Geralt investigating a murder mystery in the streets of Novigrad. It's a brief quest that doesn't have a happy ending of sorts, but Geralt can bag himself some loot if he tracks down the assailants.
]]>Are you ready for a slight tonal change in The Witcher 3? Rather than saving lives on the battlefield or dispelling great beasts, the Empty Coop quest sees Geralt helping out Yanina, who's chickens have been going missing.
]]>During The Dwarven Document Dilemma quest in The Witcher 3, Geralt is once again tasked with helping someone out. This time around, Muggs the dwarf claims his documents have gone missing - stolen by an unscrupulous thief - or were they? Either way, you're being paid to retrieve them, so you might as well get going.
]]>You'll no doubt run into a lot of short but sweet secondary quests in The Witcher 3. Some of them aren't really worth much in terms of loot and XP, but they definitely help you to feel immersed in Geralt's world, and can often be quite interesting or amusing. The Nobleman Statuette is one such short quest that sees Geralt retrieving a statue and returning it to Triss to learn what it can do.
]]>In The Witcher 3, there are plenty of brief but interesting secondary quests to take part in. One that see Geralt acquiring a mysterious artefact is The Soldier Statuette, which Geralt must find and return to Triss to figure out it's true purpose.
]]>The Of Dairy and Darkness quest in The Witcher 3 is a particularly strange one, and not one for those who aren't fans of cheese, that's for sure. This quest sees Geralt explore the manor of deceased mage, Aeramas, who just so happens to be a tyromancer.
