Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy


Recommended Posts

So during an official Apex Legends tournament, players got hacked and remote installed cheating cheating software on their PCs. To make matters funny some got an account ban. What makes this story interesting is that apex runs a kernel level anti-cheat software and the suspicion is that the hack happened through it.

This is the screen that flashed for every player when the hack happened.

See if you can spot it. 😄

Yep.

Seems that this is not the first time he did it. At one point he spawned bots in a ranked game for a streamer and turned it in to zombie mode, spammed streamers with packs to unlock all cosmetics and similar stuff. But this one is big as the publicity is much larger.

The funniest thing about this whole thing is that the hacker can just claim he did this before and that he influenced past tournaments. How apex works, and most shooter games these days too, is that anyone who is playing on a controller has aim assist in an effort to level the playing field with the mouse and keyboard players. So he could have just modified the value for the aim assist to be stronger and made whichever team he wanted have better odds.

Posting this Alone in the Dark review as a link since embedded youtube videos still don't show up for me on my desktop (they do on my phone).

I like that you can play as the OG 1992 sprites, that's a neat bonus.

Praise GOG! They still remain a positive force in the gaming landscape. Comes with free GOG propaganda video:


Ex-Uncharted director's Marvel game has cinematic trailer - to be out in 2025

 

Overwatch2 is lessening it's FreeToPay bull****. I might be diving back in when season 10 drops, as other than superagressive monatization I enjoyed the update.

Alpha Protocol is probably one of my most replayed games ever. Even back then when it was released, I played through it at least 7 times in a row.

I cant see those posts! what happening? :)

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

While I wouldn't have minded some new additional content for BG3 before saying goodbye, ultimately I think it's the right decision for Larian to do their own thing instead of hitching their wagon to the D&D licence. I'm steadfast in my opinion that BG3 is good in spite of being a D&D game, not because of it.

No matter what you think of the state of BioWare today, few would argue that they made the wrong decision by abandoning the KoTOR series after one game and going their own way with homegrown IP.

Does mean someone else will make D&D games. With the success, I'm sure the rights holders won't let it sleep.

I think Obsidian was one of the studios who tried to get BG3.

Yeah, it'll probably be a good gig for an up-and-coming studio to try to make a name for themselves, even if they have to put up with working with the awfulness of Hasbro/WoTC for a while. I imagine multiple such projects will be commissioned now.

That is still occurring for me, and posted videos. Although I recently discovered that if I click a page back on the thread (eg, page 12 instead of 13), then click back-button to return, they then show up in thread like they should.  Edit: the initial thread loading or reloading of a page makes them disappear again.

So apparently Dragon's Dogma 2 is getting bad reviews. There seems to be some performance issues, but I also see lots of claims about having to pay for stupid stuff like starting a new character. No idea what is true, some of the claims are outrageous.
