Massively Overpowered

Not everything about Halloween has to be dark and spooky; just look at the festive decorations in FFXIV! MassivelyOP's MJ can't help but smile at the adorable Jack-o-lanterns (with bat wings, even!) scattered about the cities, and she is diving into Eorzea to participate in this year's All Saint's Wake holiday event. Of course, life isn't all cutesy here,...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the latest (and ostensibly greatest, depending on your perspective) installment of Choose My Adventure. This week, we'll be bidding adieu to the wild world of WildStar, but that time hasn't come just yet, so let's save the tearful farewells for later and go ahead and recap last week's vote: As I'm sure you recall,...

I know I promised you an entry that focused on the changes to the in-game economy as my next installment to the Heart of Thorns launch diary, but a juicy post went live last night on the Guild Wars 2 website that I couldn't possibly postpone commenting on, so I've put my economy entry on hold while I take a look at...

While the focus of EVE Vegas 2015 was definitely on the new Citadel structures and the capital ship overhaul coming next spring, the topic I've been most frequently asked about by readers is what's on the horizon for PvE. To find out, I attended PvE roundtable discussion headed up by game designer CCP Affinity, who answered player questions and...

NCsoft has announced that Blade & Soul's first western closed beta weekend kicks off tomorrow (October 29th at 1 p.m. EDT). All you've got to do to get in is pony up for a founder's pack. Says the company, All players who have purchased a Founder’s Pack of any tier will have access this weekend, as well as a random...

The universe will be yours to explore next summer, as No Man's Sky has been dated for June 2016. While the release date was announced during Paris Games Week for the PlayStation 4 version, Hello Games has stated in the past that the title will come out simultaneously for both console and PC. No Man's Sky will be a massive interstellar...

Late last year, the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a petition with the U.S. Copyright Office seeking specific exemptions to the DMCA essentially on account of absurdity (because it's the future and even your car is a computer that needs to be tinkered with). One of the group's requests involved "one for users who want to continue to play 'abandoned' video games." That...

In Elite: Dangerous, space is a dangerous place. That's kind of implied right off by the name; it's not called Elite: Everything is Safe and Full of Kittens. But the game's first expansion will allow players to set down on the surface of a planet to get away from all that deep-space dogfighting... to engage in some more gravity-based...

So Overwatch is now in closed beta, which I imagine excites some people immensely. Any Blizzard product has that effect, I've noticed. But when I read the news, I became a little wistful instead of jazzed, mostly because it reminded me once again that Blizzard ditched its ambitious Project Titan MMO for something safer and far less massively multiplayer. That's...

Digital Extremes wants you to know about The Jordas Precept, which is Warframe's latest update and which is now available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users. The patch adds "a hulking mass of infestation ready to assimilate all that stands in its path," and fortunately it also includes things like big updates to missions, mechanics, and the Archwing...
