Network issues Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutis now out and about on PC, sadly with the requirement of signing into a PlayStation Network (PSN) account in order to play the samuraiaction-adventure’s Legends co-op mode. The same requirement, you might recall, thatHelldivers 2players recentlylobbied Sony into abandoning. No such luck here, and aspreviously warned, the need for said PSN sign-in to happen over Windows means that Ghost of Tsushima is essentially missing a chunk of itself on theSteam Deck....

Though thesheer amount of polish and Stuffin even its pre-release form might have you thinking that a full 1.0 release can’t be too far down the line, the game’s creative director reckons we’ve still got around a year to wait before it’s considered all finished up....

Here’s how to skip Stormveil Castle and reach Liurnia early Want to reach Liurnia as early as possible in Elden Ring?Liurnia Of The Lakes, to give the region its full name, is the largest area inElden Ringin terms of traversible terrain. It’s absolutely massive, and it resides to the north of Limgrave, just pastStormveil Castle. The gentle prodding of the guidance of Grace makes it fairly clear that to reach Liurnia, you first need to go through Stormveil Castle, the first of several giant legacy dungeons in the game....

Simogo on then “In one of Nero’s many manifests,” reads a books in surrealpuzzle-boxLorelei And The Laser Eyes, referring to its eccentric (read: tastefully deranged) antag-artist, “there is a satirical proposal claiming that only dictators should be allowed to direct films.” Developers Simogo - of well-deservedSayonara Wild HeartsandDevice 6acclaim - seem to agree that’s a position worth satirising.

I imagine it’ll involve a lot of fighting spindly monsters, dying, and resurrecting at whatever object they’ve decided will be the equivalent ofDark Souls' bonfires....

Take-Two narrow release window in latest earnings report This means the coveted sequel to the 200m sellingGTA 5will arrive roughly twelve years after. Coveted not least by Take-Two themselves, unsurprisingly. “Our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase” they said, expecting “tremendous growth.” Elsewhere, they said they’re “highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience". Love a good unparalleled entertainment experience, me. Whenever the game releases, two things strike me as certainties....

Brickley hascollated a list of suggested modsto slim down Dragon Age: Inquisition from a potentially 80 hours-long epic to a trim 40 hour story-focused romp, which means you might be able to play through it again in time for the launch ofDragon Age: Dreadwolf- which is a direct sequel to Inquisition....
