Anthem’s VIP demo kicked off last Friday and lasted through
the weekend, but many found it too
troublesome to even play. Some players
couldn’t get in, and those that did, experienced all kinds of issues ranging from
lack of overall performance to crashing. BioWare, naturally, sprung into action
to address concerns for those on PCs but, at the end of the day, it wouldn’t be
good enough, as there were also server capacity issues at hand. Fortunately,
this was only a VIP demo, and there’s still a public demo on the way. That will
give some players a better chance to get in and slaughter some grabbits, but don’t expect it to be a
problem-free experience either.
Accord to Chad Robertson, BioWare’s Head of Live Service,
Claims there’s a lot of work that still needs to be done after an “eventful”
weekend. In a summary of the weekend, he said that severs were stabilized on
Saturday afternoon and his team managed to maintain that stability through the
rest of the VIP demo period. The servers turned off Sunday evening as the Live

After it was announced that Metro Exodus would be released
through the Epic Games Store as opposed to Steam, PC gamers all over the world
went on digital strike. It took just minutes for bad reviews to start showing
up on steam as everyone tried to protest the change in release platform.
Boycotting of the game has been in full effect since, with Steam taking
hundreds of bad reviews for Metro Exodus. Not long after that, a 4A Games
developer that goes by the handle “scynet”
on gameru forums posted a rant in Russian that
included, among other things, a claim that if PC gamers boycott the game the
next in the series certainly won’t make it to the PC.
“But! Consider the situation deeper. Someone says that they
say they crap Exodus and the previous games in the series, it will make the
world better, they will put greedy developers in their place. To this, I can answer that in a pinch, if at all
all the PC players announce a boycott of the Metro, then the next metro, if it
does, is definitely not on...
The remake of Resident Evil 2 is nothing short of dreams
come true as we get to relive one of the greatest gaming stories of times past.
The remake, however, features a new character known as Mr. X and opinions about
him have been mixed at best. Some love the fact that he’s there as, after all,
he’s scary as hell and this is a horror game. Others, however, say that he
destroys the pace of the game altogether. It only took a few days before mods
for Resident Evil 2 started coming out with two of the best being the DMX “X
gonna give it to you” overlay and the mod that turned Mr. X into Thomas the
Tank Engine. Fun mods aside, if he actually ruins the gameplay for you, there’s
now a mod that can completely remove him from the game – like he never existed
in the first place.
The mod was created by MaVeRick,
and it’s known simply as “X No
More.” The coolest part about this mode is that it doesn’t break down
scripted events that happen through the storyline. In...
