Warframe is changing its dreaded new game mode after only a day, and it finally seems alright

Image
Seeing Warframe miss is more difficult than getting a Legendary Core. The Follie's Hunt game mode released yesterday was a rare case of that happening, but developer Digital Extremes already set out a list of fixes for the controversial new game mode, coming in future updates. Developer Digital Extremes shared some of the upcoming changes to the game mode, touching upon several pain points. Follie, the game's main antagonist, will no longer be invincible; instead, Tenno can fend her off with enough damage, getting some breathing room. Multiple Follies can overwhelm the player, especially in the winding halls of the abandoned Vesper Relay, so this provides some agency by letting you fight back. Additionally,  Atramentum  pickups will now be shared with the entire squad, and it'll be easier to spot them. The resource is used with the new vendor to purchase Follie's parts, and having to compete with squadmates for them added more friction to an already-frustrating ...

Is this really the most terrifying video game enemy?

Image
A lot has been theorized over what the scariest enemy in games might be. I have played many horror games, seen many mods, and cross-referencing intel from both has revealed that the scariest monster in all of them is apparently just regular spiders. Are spiders in games that scary? Some of the best artists and game designers in the world did their best to come up with the likes of Pyramid Head, Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 , the Lickers from Resident Evil 2 , and so many others, but we seemingly cannot handle any kind of spider in a game. https://ift.tt/rfKXcya There are popular mods to remove Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 , but those exist to replace him with something funny or sexier, not to make him disappear because he's too scary. Name a recent game featuring spiders, however, and it'll have one (or various) mods to remove the critters or replace with something more palatable. https://youtu.be/X3LzqOGHglo Worst of all is that we aren’t usually even looking a...

Nintendo cuts Switch 2 production following disappointing holiday sales, but history shows why we shouldn’t be surprised

Image
The 2025 holiday season has come and gone, but it looks like Nintendo's tidings were less than jolly. According to Bloomberg , Nintendo Switch 2 sales in the U.S. dropped to record-breaking lows over the holidays. In response, Nintendo is rolling back Switch 2 production by 30% to recoup costs and give the company time to grapple with the grim realities of the modern gaming market. This brutal turn of events has, understandably, sparked confusion and fear among Nintendo enthusiasts. However, the company's history shows that this downturn could be part of a long-running trend that's defined Nintendo's console sales for decades, and that fact could offer Nintendo and its fans a glimmer of hope. Nintendo console sales have been on a rollercoaster for over two decades Screenshot by Destructoid The mysterious curse currently plaguing Nintendo console sales began with the GameCube. The Nintendo 64 was a smash hit, and Nintendo was eager to catch lightning in a bottle...

GTA 6 seems set on delivering perfection, but do gamers really need this obsessive level of detail? I think so

Image
It has been almost 13 years since Grand Theft Auto 5 , and almost eight years since Red Dead Redemption 2. And it feels like that long, if not longer. Rockstar Games is definitely taking its time to polish Grand Theft Auto 6, which is great, because this is likely the most anticipated video game in this or any lifetime. It might be the most anticipated entertainment launch ever, period. It needs to be a hit, and likely will be, regardless of how it's initially received. Image via Rockstar Games But at the same time, wow. GTA 6 has been in full development since shortly after RDR2's launch, but early conceptual work likely started way sooner, potentially in 2014 already. When GTA 6 finally launches on November 19 (we hope), it will have been about the same time in full development as RDR2, so players expect that same level of obsessive detail. Leaks suggest it will be similar, with one person claiming to be a former dev stating that there are "hundreds of thou...
