There’s no doubt that Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 has brought vehicles to the front and center. It’s essential to get and mod your car if you want to make it further in the round. The other solution is, finding a car that already has mods, like the boss vehicles or, if you really want to stand out, the War Battle Bus.

We’ve seen a drivable Battle Bus before, decked out with turrets and perfect for ultimate destruction. Well, it’s back again for this season, and just like before, you can put it to good use. However, you’ll need to track it down and defeat the whole boss convoy to claim it.

If you’re a regular gacha RPG gamer, you’ll see the similarities between Wuthering Waves and games like Genshin Impact or Honkai: StarRail. However, jumping over to Wuthering Waves from those other games can still be a bit shell-shocking. One player took to Reddit to help solve that problem with a special chart.

If you’re making the jump from Honkai: StarRail to Wuthering Waves, you might be confused by the terminology for all the items and mechanics in this new experience. Well, Quit-Creative on Reddit developed a brilliant chart that matches the Wuthering Waves items with their Honkai: StairRail equivalents.

Skyrim Players Still Want Sexy Armor for Male Characters https://www.gameskinny.com/news/skyrim-players-still-want-sexy-armor-for-male-characters/ Fri, 17 May 2024 18:47:06 +0000 https://www.gameskinny.com/?p=191696

A Skyrim player proves the desire for sexier male armor still exists over a decade later.

Gaming cosmetics are tricky, especially when it comes to armor. Woman characters are often oversexualized, while men are typically outfitted in proper, protective armor. When it comes to RPGs like Skyrim, there’s more flexibility since players aren’t locked into one selection. And, funnily enough, a large chunk of the playerbase is still fantasizing about more revealing armor options for the men of Skyrim.

Skyrim Player Calls Out Bethesda for Lacking Sexy Male Armor

Reddit user ThoseAreNiceShoes jokingly called out Bethesda for the stark difference between the male and female Vampire Armor, specifically the lack of chest cutouts on the male version. It might seem ridiculous to some, but the desire for sexier male armor extends back to Skyrim‘s early days.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks to finally bring the highly anticipated era of feudal Japan to the franchise after years of waiting. However, in a post-Ghost of Tsushima world, we already see comparisons to the two games and a heated debate on Reddit that further teases the hurdles Assassin’s Creed Shadows will have to overcome.

Ghost of Tsushima Is the Perfect Template for a Samurai Game

Ghost of Tsushima follows Jin Sakai, an honorable samurai who, after finding his code wasn’t enough to stop the invasion of the Huns, chose to walk his own path as something between a ronin and shinobi known as the Ghost. As you explore the island of Tsushima, it’s filled with rich cultural practices that honor the history and country that inspired the game.

Little Kitty, Big City is out now across PC and console, and players are having a ball exploring the city on all-fours. From curling up in empty boxes and sunny nap spots to donning the most adorable hats you’ve ever seen, Kitty’s to-do list primarily includes leisurely activities sure to please cozy gamers. However, you’ll also encounter a few obstacles throughout the city as you make your way back to your apartment, which has raised some concerns about feline safety following the game’s launch on May 9.

Little Kitty’s development team has wasted no time putting these concerns to rest, reassuring players that curiosity can’t kill this cat. In fact, there’s really no way to hurt the four-legged protagonist on your Little Kitty, Big City playthrough — though puddles and unfriendly dogs will naturally give Kitty a good scare.

Helldivers 2 has taken the gaming world by storm, uniting the PC and console communities for a battle against overwhelming odds. However, just as the popularity reached an all-time high, a decision made regarding cross-platform play resulted in backlash that ultimately led to an amazing cape design.

Why Helldivers 2 Was Review Bombed

Recently, it was revealed that Sony wanted Helldivers 2 to have a password login that only allowed you to play if you had a PlayStation Network account. While this was standard online play if you had a PlayStation, anyone on Steam became more wary of the decision. Sony’s history of hacks over the years led to major backlash that resulted in the game being review-bombed on Steam.

An Ostrich-inspired Pal can raise shards of earth around it, pointing to a Ground type. A martial arts Pal waits in the darkness. And finally, a Pal that looks like Dinossom merged with a mushroom is hit with a flamethrower, which most likely makes it a Grass type.
