New DVD releaseapology, bring, cyberpunk, multiplayer, patch, roadmap

Much has already been written about Cyberpunk 2077‘s successes and failures. Is the game a financial success?

The buggy state of the game, especially on last-gen consoles, dominated the discussion surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. So huge was the quality gap between the PC version that CD Projekt showcased in…

The full patch notes for Valorant‘s 1.09 update have been revealed, and they include notable nerfs and buffs for some of the game’s top Agents and weapons. Let’s start with the game’s Agents. Viper is arguably the biggest beneficiary of this update as she receives what essentially feels like a soft rework. She’ll now start each round with 100 fuel capacity (up from 50) and the debuff applied by her Snake Bite ability now remains for two seconds after the player leaves the field of acid. Additionally, her movement speed will be doubled when she casts her Viper’s Pit ability…

Blizzard has released the patch notes for Hearthstone‘s upcoming 18.0.2 update, and they include some major changes to some of the most notable cards in Hearthstone‘s Constructed and Battlegrounds modes. Let’s start with constructed where the dominant Kael’thas Sunstrider will soon suffer the biggest nerf. Previously, Sunstrider made every third spell you played in a turn cost 0.

Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes Include Bruen Nerf

New DVD releasebruen, include, notes, patch, warzone

The latest Call of Duty Warzone patch notes have arrived, and they feature some long-awaited changes to the battle royale’s LMG weapons. The biggest change in this recent update may just be a reduction to the Bruen MK9’s effective damage range. The Bruen has become something of an all-purpose solution for Warzone players who have been taking advantage (some would say “exploiting”) this gun’s accuracy and high rate of fire. With this change, the Bruen will likely be a far less effective solution at longer ranges. LMG fans who will suddenly find themselves unable to rely on the Bruen quite…

That is to say that Grounded will remove many of the game’s HUD elements and reduce the effectiveness of the game’s “listen” ability. On top of that, you’ll have to deal with some of the other resource limitations and increased damage…
