The beta for Battlefield 6 isn’t accessible to all players yet, but those who got early access keys are currently enjoying the game from August 7-8. These keys were given exclusively to viewers of selected Battlefield streamers on Twitch last week. Most Battlefield enthusiasts will probably need to wait until August 9-10 and August 14-16 to experience the open beta, but those who’ve already played it have shared a mix of positive and negative feedback.
Ever since it debuted in 2003, Steam has grown into the most significant digital distribution platform for PC gaming. Regular updates are rolled out for both desktop and mobile versions of Steam, which address bugs and introduce new customizable features. In a recent beta update to the Steam Client in August, Valve enabled users to rename games within their Steam Libraries and modify cover art as desired. Additionally, they can arrange these games according to specific criteria. The Steam Client Beta is now open for all users who wish to participate, test its functions, and share feedback with Valve before the official launch.
For instance, consider these games. Each of them was published by EA, and despite their flaws that are valid for criticism, they don’t quite deserve the intense dislike they’ve garnered from the gaming community. From their rocky debuts to franchises carrying too much history, these EA games seem to receive an excessive amount of criticism.
In today’s gaming landscape, it can be tough to find action-platformers like the ones we used to adore back in the PlayStation 2 era during the sixth generation of consoles. Back then, platformers ruled supreme with critically acclaimed 3D games such as Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet & Clank by Insomniac Games. With these gems becoming increasingly scarce nowadays, any announcement of a similar title gets me pumped up! Gamers who long for more experiences in this genre should definitely watch out for Duskfade.
Ethereum bounced back faster than you can say “blockchain” after dragging itself through August 5 near $3,450. It clawed past $3,708, tested it as support (because support is just a fancy term for “Please stay here, pretty please”), and then skyrocketed to about $3,950. On the four-hour chart, ETH’s technically doing the cha-cha above all major EMAs-EMA20 at $3,749, EMA50 at $3,686, EMA100 at $3,623-creating a lovely bullish party. 🕺💃
Enter Kaal Dhairya, the brave knight of decentralization, who boldly proclaims that SHIB was never meant to be a one-man puppet. Nope! This isn’t some boring circus act where one person pulls all the strings – it’s a layered, star-studded universe, like Star Wars, but with more barking. Each token, from BONE to TREAT, is a shiny star contributing to this sprawling galaxy of canine chaos. And after five years of digging their paws into the ground, the SHIB community is finally gearing up for some elections. Yes, democracy in the dog park! Expect proposals like “ShibWater” (because even dogs need hydration) and other wild ideas that make the creators go, “Yep, this is the future!”
In the world of One Piece, instead of relying on powerful attacks like fireballs or electric blasts, certain characters opt for agility and swiftness when confronting tough adversaries. Occasionally, there are instances where Devil Fruits appear in the narrative that bestow upon their users a remarkable increase in speed, enabling them to outsmart opponents before they can even blink an eye.
Over the past few years, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by some fantastic games that echo the spirit of classic “Resident Evil.” Among them, “Crow Country” has skillfully recreated the gameplay reminiscent of “Resident Evil,” and enriched it with graphical elements akin to “Final Fantasy 7.” Similarly, “Signalis” masterfully transported the essence of survival-horror into a captivating sci-fi setting. Now, another game that harks back to the glory days of “Resident Evil” is on its way, and it’s all about cooperative multiplayer action for four players!
It’s intriguing to note that a large number of top-tier mods for Grounded 2, available on Nexus Mods, have been designed and shared by a single user named Caites. Remarkably, all of these mods are compatible with each other, offering users a smoother experience. Additionally, there are some mods that interchange characters or bugs with alternative models. As you might expect, these modifications are exclusive to PC gamers. However, the roadmap for Grounded 2 does not indicate any plans for official mod support at the moment.
