Here’s every single Site of Grace map location in Elden Ring Looking for every Site of Grace location in Elden Ring?Sites of Grace act as a checkpoint inElden Ring, a vital resource where you canlevel upstats, fast travel to other Sites of Grace, chooseSpirit Ashes, replenish flasks and allocate charges. As such they perform in a very similar way to theDark SoulsBonfire mechanic and offer a slight reprieve from hunting downbosses....
Great choices for AAA gaming at 1080p. You don’t need me to tell you that graphics cards prices are crazy these days - but things are getting slowly better. I noticed this afternoon that the RTX 3060 and the RX 6600 XT, the two major ‘1080p performance’ GPUs, have now dipped under £400. That’s still about £70 to £100 over the base RRP, but it’s a big improvement over the situation for the past year where we often saw these cards retailing - and selling - for over £500, £600 and even £700....
Plus new quests and loads more in patch 6.1 A freshFinal Fantasy XIVpatch today has made the game friendlier to solo players, with the new Duty Support System letting you go through a load of main scenario duties solo with NPC party members. Oh, but that’s a tiny piece of patch 6.1, which also whams in new quests and and new items and a new housing district and new haircuts and… goodness me I’m still a little surprised when I remember how FF14 was initially so awful that Square Enix shut it down for almost a year....
The XPG S70 Blade is also fast enough (and slim enough) for the PS5. The XPG S70 Blade is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 SSD that I’ve had the pleasure of testing while wearing my other hat over at Digital Foundry, so when I spotted that it had been reduced over at Best Buy I dashed to my computer (exaggeration) to let you know. Right now, a roomy 2TB model is going for $220, the lowest price we’ve ever seen for a drive of this spec....
I don’t think ghosts are cat people, though I have now received most (but not quite all) of my stuff after moving, so I have a TV and two (2) consoles to play games on. One thing I’ve been playing recently isGhostwire: Tokyo, a ghost huntin' action game that’s a bit less weird and a bit more “kind of like an Ubisoft game” than I was expecting. But I like Ubisoft games just fine, so I’m having a blast - plus there are still some clutch ghost fights to be hand when I run out of finger-ammo for my magic hands....
Made with the art director of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hell Is Us is a third-person explore-o-action game set in a “semi-open world” in a country threatened by both civil war and a strange situation spawning supernatural beings invulnerable to most harm. Handily, we can murder ‘em with our pet drone as well as swords, axes, and spears. And yep, I have no idea what it actually plays like, but I appreciate their attempts to invoke Annhilation....
With a free expansion and Linux port Here’s the trailer for the expansion, Heroes Of The Aegean: The expansion features six scenarios from Ancient Greece in which you can control leaders like Leonidas and Alexander The Great. It’ll launch on May 19th, alongside full Linux support for the base game and localisation in a bunch of new languages. If you’ve not played the base game yet, you’re seemingly in for a treat....
Seek mad air, ye Tarnished Two great games about patience, mastery, and dying horribly combine in aTrials Risingcustom track which races through the world ofElden Ring. Made by a player, the level does a surprisingly good job of capturing a sense ofElden Ring-ness, stunting on your motorbike past the Erdtree and over a castle towards an all-too-familiar ending. The level, xKx-ELDEN RACE, is made by player “kailiman666” (and comes to my attention fromthis tweet)....
Love, from the Sign Painter Did your science teacher ever let you play around with non-Newtonian fluids? If not, my condolences. You missed out on some of the greatest fun you could have at school. I remember holding a big ball of starchy goo, balling it up and turning it over and over in my hands, marvelling at its strange rigidity. And then I’d stop playing with it, and watch with childish glee as the slop slowly seeped through my fingers, its form reacting immediately and satisfyingly to my touch....
Guess what for Last week, Epic and Lego announced their intent tobuild “a space in the metaverse” for children. Today, Sony and KRIKBI - the investment company behind The Lego Group - announced that they’d each invested $1 billion (around £769m) in Epic Games to aid more broadly with “the company’s vision to build the metaverse.” As always, all of this is more fun if you replace the word “metaverse” with, for example, “Habbo Hotel....
The first of several community events to come “Reports are rolling in from across the Weird West of a plague of undead rising from the grave! Worse, a terrible sickness seems to follow in their wake,” says the announcement. Is any sickness worse than flesh-eating reanimated corpses literally rising from the grave? Isn’t a plague of undead also a kind of sickness? Many questions arise. The same announcement also mentions that 400,000 people have now played Weird West since launch....
My work PC lives inside one of these, and I’m very happy with it. The Corsair 7000D Airflow hasn’t been reviewed here at RPS, but I’ve brought it up today for two reasons: because it’s heavily discounted over at Amazon UK, and because it’s a case I’ve been using to house my main PC for the past six months. I’ve become a big fan of it in that time - it’s spacious, easy to build in, cool and clean - and the only real downside is the price....
Running Monday and Tuesday If you make games, or are interested in the making of games, you might fancy dropping in on GAconf Europe this week. Running today and tomorrow, it’s a free online conference for developers, with 20-odd sessions discussing accessibility issues. Talks from devs, players, and other experts touch on many forms of accessibility problems and how games can approach them, with topics ranging from “accessibility in first person games” to “integrating accessibility into team culture”....
