MapleStory 2 Project New Leaf got its latest sequel published. This one is about Enchantment changes and 64-bit client. As the third unveiled portion of the reputed "Progression Improvement Update" which tentatively would be launched on the 25th of this month, this major improvement will allegedly save much more cost of enchanting than any updates did before and thusly ease player's progression path.  Progression Improvement Update is considered as the second major update that the developers plan on bringing up into MapleStory 2, right behind the Economy Improvement Update which mostly features resolving MapleStory 2 Mesos ' issues. Enchantment Changes are reportedly concerned with two NPCs who help players enchant their equipment in the game, mostly. Those two NPCs are known as Ophelia and Peachy. In most cases, the post written about Enchant Changes was talking about how to make a difference to the current Peachy's enchants, due to its being priced out of th...

Bethesda’s mobile action-RPG tops the App store with one million downloads following its early access launch. Announced at E3 2018, The Elder Scrolls: Blades went live on iOS and Android last week for players who had signed up for early access, and has already been downloaded by more than one million users in its first seven days, and has already made almost $500,000 in revenue. Sensor Tower reports that the game is at No.1 in the download charts, with 42% (420,000) of downloads coming from the US. US players also accounted for 76% of spending, totalling around $380,000. This data is only for iOS, so total downloads are likely to be a fair bit higher. The game is free-to-play, but contains in-app purchases to hasten player progress, including Silver Chests that hold gold and items, like equipment, supplies, and materials. The Elder Scrolls: Blades received an update this week to iron out a few kinks, with Bethesda promising further balance tweaks, specifically for the Silver Chest....

The next content update for Forza Horizon 4 has been detailed by its developer, Playground Games, and the big attention point is the multiplayer aspect of the game. Besides an all-new game mode to enjoy, there will be fixes to the existing experience which will make a pretty important improvement to everyone's online fun. Update 8 is being known as the Drift Adventure update, in honour of the new multiplayer game mode being added. Drift Adventure is the first multiplayer mode in Forza Horizon 4 dedicated entirely to the art of going sideways, as you compete against other players in pursuit of the best single lap drift score. In conjunction with this a new drift camera view is being added — a similar one has recently made it into Forza Motorsport 7 — that angles the camera to better work with the additional sideways motions of drifting. Beyond Drift Adventure, Playground has also been listening to community feedback and some pretty stellar changes are coming to the existing o...

Playground Games has added another achievement to its trophy case. Last night at the annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards, it picked up the win for Best British Game for Forza Horizon 4. The win comes on the back of previous accolades for the open-world racer. It wrapped up 2018 with a win at the Game Awards and followed up in February of this year at the DICE Awards. Both of those were for sports and racing games though, whereas last night’s win was a more general category. The British Game of the Year competition included titles made by — you guessed it — British studios. The list of nominees included some heavy hitters: 11:11 Memories Retold Forza Horizon 4 Red Dead Redemption 2 The Room: Old Sins Overcooked 2 Two Point Hospital Studio head Ralph Fulton was on hand to claim the award on behalf of the Leamington Spa-based team, posting a behind-the-scenes shot on Twitter: So this just happened pic.twitter.com/VaVnHsqRGH — Ralph Fulton...

Baseball season is officially underway in the major leagues and for MLB The Show 19 gamers. As opening day recently got going, the baseball video game is beginning to roll out special events, challenges, and player cards. We got our first MLB The Show 19 Headliners Packs in the game with Diamond cards for All-Star players Mark Prior and Joe Torre. MLB The Show 19 Headliners: All-Star Flashback Mark Prior Mark Prior’s star burned out way too early. The hard-throwing right-hander made a huge impact in his five-year career, especially in 2003. Prior owned the National League for a glimmering moment and had the look of a player that would be around for 10 years or more. Unfortunately, arm problems cut Prior’s career short. Nevertheless, he still had a great career, albeit a short one. In 2003, Prior finished 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA. He struck out 245 batters and was named to the NL All-Star team that season. Those numbers alone earned Prior a card rating of 90. MLB The Show 19 Headl...

Nexon just opened up a small online shop for Maplers who'd like to invest a big load of money on Maple-themed toys in the real world the same as they did in the game. The small booth is called MapleStory Merch Store. As far as we know, this store is sort of a front of the Nexon Store where some more products and services are still in development and their putaway is around the corner. This MapleStory Merch Store features nothing but T-shirts, plushies, and tumblers. All of them are unexceptionally branded with all sorts of Maple World NPC figures or other typical symbols respectively. By a rough calculation, The store shelf doesn't hold no more than 12 different kinds of products.  This little online shop is a veritable booth, theatrically, founded by a big company like Nexon. Although it was probably coming out as a marketing strategy, Nexon also stressed that all the first-launched merchandises are of limited quantities. The post implies these adorable fluffy...

The Madden 19 Path to the Draft promotion moves on! We’re now into April, with the NFL Draft just weeks away. When that goes down, NFL teams will look to upgrade their team rosters. Meanwhile, in Madden Ultimate Team mode, gamers are doing the same with the various Path to the Draft cards or events. Among the latest arrivals for the promotion are a sweet Cam Newton LTD card and some brand new house rules to play with. Madden 19 Path to the Draft Cam Newton LTD Card When Madden’s Path to the Draft event launched, gamers knew it would bring some of the top stars in the game with it. The Carolina Panthers made Cam Newton their No. 1 NFL draft choice what feels like many seasons ago. It was 2011, and since then, he’s led the team to several playoff appearances and to the Super Bowl. In addition to that and three Pro Bowl selections, Cam also captured the 2015 NFL MVP Award based on his outstanding season then. It makes perfect sense that he’d be amongst the latest 99 OVR LTD ...

Path of Exile is releasing the 3.6.3b patch to fix the partial remains of glitches and exploits in the latest iteration Synthesis League and other content. Reportedly, this is the fourth patch has been deployed since the release of Synthesis league.  Most of this patch, according to the patch notes on the official website, is to address the issues that have been haunting on Synthesis league all the time. It also includes some other content of fixing the miscellaneous bugs deep within the game. Nevertheless, the centerpiece of this patch is the Synthesis part, nothing more.  "Essence and Fossils can be used on Fractured Items" literally tops the list of the highlights from the synthesis part of this patch. Since there have been advocacies of patching up "Essence and Fossils" issues on the very next day of Synthesis league debut. I would think it's fair enough to say this issue was becoming the most concerned pain point and it's rather advisable to addr...

Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella has delivered a stinging rebuke to fans of Apex Legends, saying that he “expected more porn by now.” With both games featuring a strong character-driven roster of heroes, the comparisons between Apex Legends and Overwatch have been raised ever since Respawn’s new game first launched. However, according to Zampella, one major difference is that Overwatch fans are “insatiably horny.” “Our audience has delivered in nearly every way,” Zampella said. “They’re dedicated. They’re intelligent. They’re giving us great feedback. I just wish they would hurry up and draw Lifeline and Mirage doing it, or something. “The Overwatch community is crazy horny. Just so, incredibly horny. All I’m saying is that it would make all of us here at Respawn feel appreciated if we could see some fan art of Pathfinder railing another Pathfinder on a couch.” After a brief, uncomfortable pause, he added: “Just brainstorming here…” It’s no secret that Overwatch has ma...

Path of Exile is holding an April Fool's event today while some players subjectively presumed it was going to be a Game-coming-to-mobile-devices prankish news broadcast before. However, it turns out to be a different-genres-blended-together joking fest.  It all started with the imaginary game expansion called "Path of Warframe: The Quest for the average neck" - which according to the news anchor "Rebekah" Bex, is one of all expansions from a first-person top-down Action RPG hack-n-shooter genre. Not only sounds the goofy name hilarious and quite intriguing, but it also rolls in the aisles when Bex explains in a funny way. What is this so-called "merged-from-two-games-from-different-genres crossover" for? what is the content this expansion showing up for? Bex explained that the game has a complex gameplay mechanic that doesn't nothing but reward the players with loots, items, treasure, currency(like POE Orbs ), and microtransactions. And the ...
