I thought I only suffered from media amnesia when it came to crappy dime-a-dozen B-horror movies, but looking at 2007’sBroken Sword 4: The Angel of DeathI can’t remember if I have ever played it or not. Good thing it’s now on Good Old Games for$9.99! To celebrate, GOG is having a 50% off deal on thefirst threeBroken Swordgames($2.99 each) until Friday 6:59 a.m. EDT. I’m pretty sure I skipped the third game, but the first two are excellent examples of ’90s era point & click adventures; the GOG version of these two includes the remastered and original editions to boot....

Welp That Guardian in the header staring into the sky kind of sums up how I’ve felt about theDestinyseries’ various implementations of MMO-like features pretty much since it started. In case you missed it, Bungie finally explained what transmog (appearance changing) will actually require of players inDestiny 2and it was worse than we could have imagined. To change your gear’s look you need to chase multiple new items, complete pseudo-bounty busywork, and go through even more effort to altera limited amount of gear per season....

The game is coming out in March, maybe? TheHotline MiamiTwitter accountjust postedthis phone number: +1 (786) 519-3708 ext 10. I called it, like you do, and got a weird message, as expected. “We are50 Blessings. Together we march … into the future.” Before I could determine whether this was a hint at a possible March (10?) release date forHotline Miami 2, another voice said, “You have reached a wrong number.”...

Courtesy of Limited Run Even though I was far more of a Super Nintendo kid, growing up, I always loved the plastic Sega Genesis cases. They had a nice heft to them. They were fun to open! ForToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, Limited Run is leaning into the lucrative nostalgia angle with a Genesis-style commemorative case. The company is only producing 500 of these beauties, and this weekend is your best chance to nab one....

Update 1.24 brings balance tweaks and bug stomps Developer Arc System Workshas released a new updatefor its gorgeous anime fighterGuilty Gear Strive,bringing with it balance tweaks, bug fixes and, most notable of all, crossplay support between console and PC editions of the game. Players on PS4, PS5, and PC can now all step into the ring against one another, as well as converge in lobbies, spectate each other’s matches and replays, view player profiles, and even check out the delightfully dioramic “Digital Figure” creations of their brethren....

Iron Banner, Menagerie, tributes fixed Welp, the lads finally did it. Over a month ago Bungie explained, as they often do, that they wouldn’t get around to nerfing a specific meta-dominant weapon (the Lord of Wolves shotgun) until later in the summer. That time is now. The nerf headlines update 2.5.2, which reduces the efficacy of the Shotgun Scavenger perk on the gun and decreased its range. A number of other exotic bugs (mostly armor) were also fixed....

Or else Let’s get something straight. I didn’t choose to playDestiny. It just showed up at my doorstep one day. One of my fellow editors here at Destructoid, the one and only Darren Nakamura, sent it to me out of the blue. Initially, I was inclined to throw the damned thing away and be done with it. Darren probably knew it was something I wouldn’t enjoy. Nothing about it seemed remarkable....

Summer Games Done Quickis well underway, so we’ve already been treated to a couple days worth of fantastic speedrunning feats. One of today’s had TheRetroRunner taking on a Low% run ofNinja Gaidenon NES, and the fact that it nearly ended in defeat really showcases what makes these events special in the first place. For those unfamiliar with the Low% category forNinja Gaiden— I had never seen it before myself — it’s essentially a sword-only run with some key restrictions....

The fine folks atSiliconeramet up with the Marketing Manager over at NIS America, Jack Niida, to talk a bit about both Disgaea DS and Rhapsody DS. They asked about voice acting in the games, as both titles contain a hefty amount. “For the voice acting[in Rhapsody DS], we were able to keep all the files, but for the songs, we had to limit it to Japanese version only,” said Niida....

June 27 Right after giving us a launch window for the Nintendo Switch version ofDragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Bandai Namco also unveiled the release date for the fourth (and possibly final) DLC pack — June 27. New costumes and characters are in (Fused Zamasu, Vegito Blue, Future Trunks), as well as the Goku Black storyline fromDragon Ball Super. Zamasu looks like the most flashy of the bunch, and even though the visuals can’t hold a candle toFighterZ, they still mostly capture the spirit of the show....

Early 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One So long Project Z, and helloDragon Ball Z: Kakarot. We got the official name for Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2’s next bigDBZgame at Microsoft’s E3 2019 presser and I am extremely here for it. This is an “all-new action-RPG recounting the beloved story ofDragon Ball Zlike never before.” You could go for one of those, right? I could absolutely go for one of those....

Not much is revealed in the trailer, other than a few glimpses at some of the classes and races that players will get to experience. Bethesda also shared some of the concepts that have been shaping the world ofThe Elder Scrolls Online. I always enjoy Bethesda’s concept work; it’s always so detailed and colorful....
