Elder Scrolls Onlinehas a great deal of customization options among its classes, so it can be overwhelming. It uses a dual bar system where you can quickly swap between weapons and skillsets at the press of a button. But that’s just more complications. Thankfully you can create builds that just use one bar, like this one bar PvE Magicka Sorcerer Build. There isn’t really one single “one bar” build. Finding out the best one that works for you is often a matter of experimentation....

I’m sharpening my knife, kupo Experience Points is a series in which I highlight some of the most memorable things about a particular game. These can include anything from a specific scene or moment, a character, a weapon or item, a level or location, a part of the soundtrack, a gameplay mechanic, a line of dialogue, or anything else about the game that is particularly noteworthy and/or awesome. This series will no doubt contain spoilers for the games being discussed, so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the game for the first time....

Last night, a downtown Los Angeles gallery hostedArt of the Assassin, a collection of art pieces inspired by Ubisoft’s upcomingAssassin’s Creed III. I was lucky enough to attend, and had a really great time! I got to play a demo of the game (looks amazing, by the way), meet members of the development team, and check out some of the cool art. All in all, a very fun night. You can check out some pictures I took of the event in the gallery....

A small detail in theFalloutshow has some fans worried that the events ofFallout: New Vegasjust got kicked out ofthe franchise’s timeline. Note: Discussing this will entail some necessary spoilers of both theFalloutshow and the gameNew Vegas,so be aware thatspoilers follow from here on out. While theFalloutTV show has only been out for less than a week, one particular detail has already lit up some discussion, centered around the timeline ofevents inFallout‘s version of America and their relation to the Obsidian-developed RPGFallout: New Vegas....

I’ve been gaming since the reign of Atari, and I’ve probably done some thoughtless things along the way. However, not once did I ever have the urge to call one of my buddies late at night to brag about my exploits. Judging by thisstoryon Fox News, someone else could’ve put some more thought into their own nocturnal ramblings. As the story goes, some guy playing an unnamed Xbox 360 game had just accomplished whatever it was that he was looking to do, and decided to let his friends know about it....

• Phil Harrison quite possibly turned theSony shiparound with a keynote that led to a standing applause at one point. • Walking the show floor is nothing like walking the show floor at E3. Less booth babes, more information. •Calling all Carsfor the PlayStation Network is fun as hell. I pretty much pwned Niero in a game — I believe the final score was something like 26-3. • The GameSpy party was kinda nice last night....

Apologies to those expecting a holiday treat, because if you’re anticipating tomorrow’s “Horde Command Pack” forGears of War 3, a trick is all you’re getting. The new contenthas been“temporarily delayed due to a technical issue,” according to Epic Games’ community manager. There is no ETA as of yet, though it’s been promised that Epic is working around the clock to remedy the situation. It’s not like we won’t manage during this season of nonstop game releases, but it’s hard not to be slightly bummed about the delay....

Set aside 20 minutes or so this Thursday to be transported back to Feudal Japan. Sony’s giving Sucker Punch’s upcoming open-world samurai slasher its own spotlight on May 14. Ghost of Tsushimais the sole subject of a new Sony State of Play stream this week. We’re told to expect “an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat, and more.” About 18 minutes’ worth, to be exact. All this goes down on May 14 at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific....

Goat Simulator Waste of Space expansion Goat Simulator‘s latest expansion takes place on a scam, crowdfunded space colony; an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator (narrating the trailer); aStar Wars: The Force Awakensjoke; a 69 joke; a #MakeSpaceGreatAgain (picking up the mantle from Paradox’sStellaris). I guess this is what people mean when they say “shitposting,” but in video game form? I don’t know, but it looks amusing. TheWaste of Spaceexpansion is being made by Gone North Games, the studio that made theGoatZexpansion, and is due out on PC, iOS, Android and Amazon....

Erin Robinson’s first console game Gravity Ghostreleased early this year, and I thought it was a touching tale alongside its entertaining zen gameplay. Though it was well received critically, its audience has been limited to those playing on PCs. Soon, that potential audience will grow, as the physics platformer will be making its way to the PlayStation 4. The PS4 version will come with a sampling of new content to supplement what we have already seen: a new set of challenge levels, three additional musical tracks by Ben Prunty (FTL: Faster Than Light), and an unlockable playable character....

Tilt controls are the new black WhenGrid Autosportwas announced for Switch, the first question on many peoples minds was, “How does it control?” For those unaware, the Switch Joy-Con do not have analog triggers, which is crucial for controlling a racing game (especially a simulation one). How were Codemasters and Feral Interactive going to work around the limitation of Nintendo’s chosen input device? It turns out that giving players complete freedom to customize their controls would be it....

Similar to Threes, but different This week’s addictive browser game that I can’t seem to quit is2048, a sliding tiles game where you attempt to match numbers to multiply their value. The ultimate goal is to get a tile that’s worth 2048 without having completely filled the four by four area the game takes place on. It takes just a little bit to figure out how it plays, but after that passes,2048is an increasingly maddening affair of space-clearing and number-enhancing....

It’s still breathtaking As part of the2015 “PLAY” sale,Journeyis going to be re-released on the PlayStation 4 tomorrow for $14.99 ($11.99 for Plus members). For the most part this is the same exact game most of you have already played, but with enhanced visuals, which you can view in the gameplay video above. Just likefl0wandFlowerfor PS4,Journeyis also Cross-Buy. Everyone has already talked ad nauseum about the game for years, but having played through it again on PS4, my opinion remains relatively unchanged....
