Regardless of how powerful a singular weapon or subclass might be, numbers almost always beat out a single guardian pushing multiple people. To help your fireteam out in PvP, be sure to utilize the radar on your HUD, as well as equipping weapons that lengthen the amount of time the radar stays active, in order to push enemy guardians with another teammate to supp

Santa Monica Studios’ Norse-themed sequel to the classic God of War trilogy was breathtaking when it launched. With a sequel planned for PS5, many players are likely to want to replay God of War ahead of time. Load times aren’t terrible on PS4, but switching over to PS5 offers some substantial improvements, especially when booting up the game.

Some of that can happen in Skyrim too, but players have so many more options in that game. Ever-present fast travel makes retreat a much more attractive option. Easily-trained skills mean always having a strong backup option, with little need for either planning or improvisation. The same goes for having enemies that rely almost exclusively on dealing pure damage rather than attacking through debuffs and drains. It’s not necessarily easier, especially on higher difficulties, but it's more convenient for the player. It’s not 100% bad, but it does come at the cost of a potentially more rewarding and memorable adventure.

A common complaint about Halo at the time was that matches were always about map control and power weapons. This was true, and it made turning the tide of battle difficult. Halo matches were won purely through map knowledge, coordination and often just out-playing one’s opponents. There was no gear/build meta to keep track of and no rock-paper-scissors element outside of challenging power-weapon users. The team that made the best use of the common tools was the team that won. Turning a match around was difficult, yes, but it could be done with enough effort. The result: a feeling unmatched by most modern multiplayer shooters.

Ubisoft’s already large open worlds continued to expand exponentially throughout the PS4 generation. It all started with Caribbean in 2013 and ended with all of Ancient Greece in 2018. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivered Ancient Greece in an extremely-detailed way, which also meant some extremely-long load times. Getting into the game could take minutes, and even worse, getting around quickly or back into the game after death also cost precious time. PS5 mostly solves this, shaving off about 10 seconds when first booting up the game, and bringing the load time into the game well under a minute.


The skilled Armoredheartcosplay is Mara Sov in this incredible cosplay that combines a top-tier build with a cosplayer who can step into any role she chooses. Armoredheart's fierce but arresting disposition really adds something to what would otherwise be a masterful but admittedly unvaried eff


Light level definitely matters in several of the game modes offered up in Destiny 2 's PvP modes, but to focus solely on those numbers alone would be a disservice to the perks made available to you. Don't forget the unique and often game-changing perks of legendary and exotic weapons, as well as armor, to use in order to better equip yourself before your next ma

If you’ve played any game in the past few years then you’ll understand a harsh reality: load times are getting longer. As our gaming worlds got bigger, textures and geometry got more detailed, graphical effects increased, and load times also increased. While a handful of well-optimized games managed to cut the time, it wasn’t out of the ordinary to wait close to a minute or even longer to load into some games.


Those intimately familiar with Control or any other PvP game mode in Destiny 2 Court Of Blades 2 that requires capturing points have surely seen teammates push for control of the wrong ones. Whether you're forcing a spawn flip or finding your fireteam caught in a bind with only one point captured, the objective should be to focus on the point most accessible at that moment. It's easy to forget that the game's objective-based PvP modes require more than just plenty of eliminati

There are drawbacks to convenience in real life and it’s the same for video games. Despite their photo-realistic looks and often good gameplay, many modern games fall into the trap of being too convenient. With the games handling so much, little is asked of players, and that’s kind of a shame. Some of the best experiences in gaming come about when players have to do things for themselves.


All that said, exploring Neptune can be interesting, with the advanced man-made city of Neomuna offering something very different from most of the other in-game locations. The Strand subclass still holds up pretty well too, as do the many quality-of-life improvements that were introduced as part of the expans


After the disappointment of The Dark Below , House of Wolves provided Bungie with some much-needed redemption. It's everything that the earlier expansion should have been and felt like the moment that the developer started to really listen to what players were asking for rather than trying to shove unwanted content down their throats. Even for those who didn't enjoy the expansion, it was infinitely more palata
