There was so much excitement surrounding Fallout 76 , as all of the marketing leading up to the game made it look like one of the most exciting open worlds ever found in an RPG where choices really mattered . But the end result fell short of expectati

One of the priciest cars in the game is the Caliburn, a fast Hypercar with a sleek metallic design. The car once cost a hefty $157,000 before the 2.0 update, but still costs a staggering $135,000 after. Though also comes with a few prerequisites. In order to purchase the vehicle, players will have to raise their Street Cred to at least level

If the price or prerequisites seem too much for some players to achieve, there is actually a much cheaper alternative to acquiring the Caliburn. After completing the quest "Ghost Town," the car can be found for free in a cave just south of the Aldecaldo's c

The game was a grind, which is somewhat typical for EA releases. On top of that, it was so buggy that it ironically worked out in the player’s favor, as it saw players be able to start out with the most powerful weapon, meaning gamers didn’t have to purchase EA’s treacherous loot bo

While this may seem like a lonely game, with V completing his/her story through deserted lanes and empty intersections, it improves the game's performance exponentially owing to the lesser number of components the system has to render. Furthermore, the look is quite dystopian and makes for a slightly ridiculous mod that gamers looking for efficiency might pre

After the controversial launch of the game and the subsequent backlash from fans and pre-purchasers, CD Projekt Red was forced to go on full damage control mode to try and mitigate the ensuing fallout. They've had mixed success since that time, indicating that this might be another No Man's Sky story all over ag

To be fair, the open-world in the game is seemingly never-ending, but it is procedurally generated and boring compared to the promises that were made. Upon its release, critics were referring to the game as a "boredom simulat

Since there are different ways each interrogation can play out there are also multiple endings to find. I ended up getting quite a bleak end to my story. I'm definitely going to go back and try to unlock the other endings, but I wish there was an option to replay each interrogation sequence. There's no way to redo them, so if you screw up and ask a dumb question, then you get what you get. I can understand why the developer wouldn't put this option in as simply going back and replaying a section to get a better outcome does cheapen the experience. But upon beating the game, there was no choice to return to my save file. In fact, the save file was gone and all I could do was begin a new game. It doesn't take long to play through Silicon Dreams - it took me about 5 hours to get through the game - but losing all that progress and having to start all over was kind of a bum

CD Projekt Red had made the rather unrealistic announcement that they wanted to get free DLC content in the hands of players within the first quarter of 2021, but clearly that's not happening. It isn't known when players can expect their first DLC package to come out, but it's looking like Q3 of 2021, or even la

Silicon Dreams is a tremendous detective game. The way you grill these androids for information is highly engaging. I was surprised many times by the responses I got from my interrogations and the narrative continued to get more and more compelling as I went on. If the idea of delving into the minds of androids to see what makes them tick sounds like a fun time, then you should experience the dystopian nightmare that is Silicon Dre

The multiplayer aspects of the game, which is one of the biggest reasons why the series was so popular, were glitchy, and it was almost impossible to play online, as the game’s servers couldn’t find matches. 343 Industries even had to issue an apolo

If that wasn't enough, the D5 Sidewinder is also the base weapon for the iconic Divided We Stand weapon, which includes an automatic targeting system that can target up to five enemies at once. Bullets from Divided We Stand also deal chemical damage and have a high chance of poisoning enem

You play as an android that is the property of a massive, android-producing corporation called Kronos. In this Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes future, Kronos is the be-all, end-all of android companies and is essentially above the law. Your job is to interrogate your fellow androids to determine whether or not they've become deviant, which means that they've begun to think a little too freely and may be a danger to themselves and others. To discover deviancy, you have to ask a series of questions. Sometimes you just need to have them recall memories or run diagnostic checks. Other times, you have to push them to expose emotions and opinions that conflict with their prime direct

The Better Vehicle Handling mod by RB allows the players to somewhat compensate for the ridiculous handling of vehicles that the game has to offer. While the mod in itself is not ridiculous, it is splendid in the sense that it tames vehicular control to a brilliant degree, an aspect that is over-the-top for anybody playing the un-modded version of the g
