People really, really want Half-Life 3 Yesterday, word got out about a peculiar clue hidden underneath a statue inSurgeon Simulator 2013. This was part of the update that broughtTeam Fortress 2‘s Medic and Heavy to the game and, knowing Valve’s history with alternate-reality games and teaming up with external studios, it seemed possible that another mystery was waiting to be cracked. That last part ended up being true — “So, we hear there’s some puzzle you’re trying to figure out…”tweeteddeveloper Bossa Studios — though it had nothing to do with Valve games, as the companylater clarifiedonce this situation started getting out of hand....

What is my life without Keita Takahashi? Tenya Wanya Teensis another one of those games you hear about being playable at events and, as tends to be the case, they always sound so damn fun. This one happens to be a “a coming-of-age tale about love, hygiene, monsters and finding discarded erotic magazines in the woods.”What else would you expect from a collaboration spanningKatamari Damacy‘sKeita Takahashi, Wild Rumpus,and Venus Patrol?...

Hello, my special lil’ people! It’s Wednesday, and that means another Destructoid Show episode. Because we always record on Wednesdays. Duh.

Because guns shoot bullets?) and EA apparently forgot to give PS3 userstheir free copy ofBattlefield 1943.Bethesda announcesthe PC requirements forSkyrim, and Sony announces theoverpriced peripheral requirements for the Vita.For the second part of the episode, we play around with the beta “Initiation Station” forSaints Row The Third....

So, same button map as Battlefield, right? In some rather bizarre news, the Navy will be adding Xbox 360 controllers to Virginia-class submarines to make controlling the vessels’ periscopes easier. The Xbox controllers will be replacing a $38,000 joystick system designed by Lockheed Martin. The joystick has been routinely criticized and denounced by Sailors for being clunky to operate, and given the staggering price point, it seems reasonable that the Navy might look into a better solution....

We’ve got Spirit, yes we do Everywhere you look, the kids aren’t alright.Life is Strange 2‘s first chapter introduced us to a pair of brothers on the lam after tragedy suddenly uprooted their entire lives. In the lead-up toLife is Strange 2, developer Dontnod released a playable teaser for the sequel calledThe Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit— a short story about a nine-year-old coping with the loss of his mother and the depression of his alcoholic dad....

Go get yourself some PC games Please don’t mistaken us for AWOLNATION given how often we’ve screamed “SALE!” lately. He’s singing about — uh, boats? — and we’re talking about cheap video games. Fun with homophones. Also fun (probably) is the fact that Steam’s Autumn Sale just kicked off. It’s running through November 29 and features exactly what we’ve come to expect: A ton of cheap PC games. Some things that immediately stick out areUndertalefor $4....

In Roblox Hunters, you’ll be fighting off wave after wave of enemies, almost eager to meet their doom. Obviously, since we’ll be doing this with a weapon it’s important to know which weapon does what, hence why we felt the need to create this tier list. Spoiler alert: most weapons in this game are the same, except one. Without further ado, enjoy our UltimateHuntersWeapon Tier List. Weapons in Roblox Hunters Here’s the harsh truth aboutRobloxHunters: most weapons are the same....

Feel the logo I can’t remember where we stand on thatglacier white PlayStation 4 Pro. For it? Against it? Sony is bringing that console variant to Europe as part of aDestiny 2bundle on September 6, along with a few jet black PS4 bundles and a limited-edition themed controller that’ll be available standalone. I like the white. I even like the gold. But aDestiny 2logo on the touchpad? Woof. The gamepad won’t be sold in the UK, Poland, or Russia, and Sony stresses that you should “check with local retailers for further details regarding price and stock availability of the controller and PS4 bundles....

Fan the hammer gets the nerf bat [Update:Here are the official US patch notes.] According to a translation from the official Taiwan Battle.net patch notes forOverwatch, today will see the famous McCree nerf update. His damage for his “fan the hammer” alternate fire will be decreased from 70 to 45, and the time before reloading will be decreased from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds. Widowmaker is getting a base decrease in her damage from 15 to 12 (to limit her body shot damage — Zenyatta says “thank you”), but her headshot multiplier is increased from x2 to x2....

Just like pretty much every modern MMO When Ubisoft announced that the firstDivision 2raid would not have matchmaking, despite stating previously that “every activity would have it,” it was a shock. Why alienate folks from the most popular endgame activity? Before people respond with “but it’s meant to be difficult,” I’ll explain how it works in pretty much every MMO for the past decade. Basically, developers put out an easier version of the raid first, which serves as a blueprint for what’s to come....

Believe it or not, it’s already been five years since the launch ofUndertale. A blend of visual novel, RPG, and retro arcade action, Toby Fox’ labour-of-love won over an army of fans with its emotional narrative, iconic cast of characters, and great chiptune soundtrack. To celebrate five years of Flowey, Papyrus, Undyne, Sans and pals, Fox and Fangamer are teaming up to presenta free online “concert stream,”with select tracks fromUndertale‘s great OST being performed live by MUSIC Engine....

Archwing mode I had played a bit ofWarframeon PC to see what it was about, thought it was merely okay, and moved on not much later, as you do. Digital Extremes’ free-to-play cooperative action game has since come to PlayStation 4 — and will arrive on Xbox One early next month — but ports aren’t going to do much of anything for me as someone who has tried it already....
