Starfield is the new upcoming Bethesda RPG, set to at some point before The Elder Scrolls 6. The studio recently revealed that its upcoming titles will make significant use of procedural generation as a way of creating large in-game worlds for players to explore. However, there’s one lesson Starfield needs to learn from Mass Effect when it comes to creating its galaxy. When it comes to the number of planets players can explore, size isn’t everything, and Bethesda will need to avoid some pitfalls to make its upcoming game-world feel as alive as it could be immense....
Streamers may rely on subscriptions to turn their hobby into a living, but aggressively demanding for an audience to steal their parents’ credit cards is a bit much. It often feels as if the business of watching others play video games has become a bigger deal than actually playing them.

Call of Duty: Warzone has seen many updates since it was released in 2020. The mode’s massive success has spawned new game modes, Easter eggs, and many balance changes. These balance changes can vary from insignificant to meta-defining. Every gun has a realistic place in the world of Call of Duty: Warzone, though sometimes that gun’s sole purpose is showing off to friends. The weapons on this list can, theoretically, win in a match, but winning with them will shock the audience and humiliate opponents....

When I came out as bisexual, it was a tough experience. I trialled it only a year prior in confidence to somebody on an individual level but was immediately met with opposition, laughter, and mockery. Okay, so it’s ‘wrong’ to be bi, I thought, and I tucked the idea away into the closet for another 12 months. When I mustered up the courage and finally accepted who I was, the reception was mostly disbelief - “You, bi?...

Open-world RPGs have always been faced with one central dilemma....

Clowns, both creepy and, well, slightly less creepy, were lurking about in the shadows for thousands of years before Stephen King’s It (or for that matter It Chapter Two), and the iconic evil clown Pennywise shambled along with those sinister red balloons of his. The Egyptians had them, the Greeks had them, the Romans had them. But an interesting and telling thing happened in the 17th and 18th centuries.
