Series finale new girl

Few MMORPGs last as long as Final Fantasy XI, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in May. 20 years of active service is a monumental achievement for any online game, but especially one built upon the hardcore design of pre-World of Warcraft MMOs that remains strictly subscription-based. And yet, Final Fantasy XI shows no signs of stopping any time soon, even as Square Enix's other MMO, the award-winning Final Fantasy XIV, continues to rise in popularity. In fact, Final Fantasy XI's player base has grown in the last few years, and until recently it was Square Enix's most-profitable Final Fantasy game (a title Final Fantasy XIV now holds as of 2021 ). In the months leading up to the 20th anniversary celebration, Final Fantasy XI even received all-new gameplay systems like the new Master Levels for post-game players, and the ongoing "Voracious Resurgence" questline, which is the first new story content the game has seen in years. To get more insight into Final Fantasy XI's … [Read more...] about Final Fantasy XI At 20: Devs On Coexisting With XIV, Classic Servers, And Its Lasting Influence

With Elden Ring still less than a year old, FromSoftware already has a new game in its "final stages." That's according to FromSoftware president and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who discussed the studio's pipeline in a new interview with Japanese site 4Gamer (opens in new tab) . The interviewer notes that Elden Ring was developed in parallel with another unannounced project, and Miyazaki confirms that the development of this mystery game is now "in the final stages" (per a machine translation of the Japanese quotes). Of course, even the final stages of game development can be quite time-consuming, so it's unclear when this mystery game will arrive, nor do we know what exactly it is. That said, persistent rumors and leaks, including plenty of screenshots, indicate FromSoftware is not only making a new Armored Core game but is pretty far along with it, making it the prime suspect for this mystery slot. However, there's every chance FromSoftware has … [Read more...] about FromSoftware has a new game in its “final stages”

In the interview, Miyazaki confirms that Elden Ring would continue to receive updates, as it has done since launch earlier this year in February.

Herogasm has finally come to The Boys, and it did not disappoint. While the episode took some liberties from the source material, Episode 6 of Season 3 brought some of the wildest moments we've seen so far on this show. Laz Alonso, who plays Mother's Milk on the series, along with writer and showrunner Eric Kripke discussed one particular moment where MM was doused with a viscous, milky liquid. Warning: Spoilers from Episode 6 "Herogasm" ahead. During one scene, a supe engaged in sexual activity gets some natural lubricant on Mother's Milk's jacket. Of course, MM wanted to clean off his jacket, so he looks for a bathroom. He opens a door, here's someone yelling "throwing ropes," and MM is doused in gallons of ejaculate. "It was just soap, lube, water, all stuff that wouldn’t irritate the eyes or skin. They swore no DNA," Alonso told GameSpot. "It was our last shot of the night. We literally had the background actors filming all day, and there was so much coverage to get in … [Read more...] about The Boys Showrunner And Mother’s Milk Actor Break Down The Grossest Moment From Herogasm

The Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with a ton of discounts on new games for 2022 as well as some you might've missed in years past. The list of games on discount includes some that just recently launched to near universal acclaim, like the heart-pounding game of many genres, Neon White, and the retro brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Two very different games for different crowds, but both have been very well received and both are on discount right now on Steam. There are also some games on sale that might've slipped past your radar, whether that's due to Elden Ring's gluttonous shadow or an out-of-control backlog (yeah, sorry about that). For example, Ghostwire Tokyo might not have been an instant buy at the full $60-70, but we found a lot to love in its spooky, Yokai-filled vision of modern Tokyo and its surprisingly tragic side quests . At half price for Steam's Summer sale, it's absolutely worth checking out. As we said at the start, the … [Read more...] about Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with savings on Neon White, V Rising, and more
