The PC builder bluffer's guide - all the info you need to convince the world of your tech cred11/28/2017 We hate to be enablers here at PCGamesN.... But, if you really need to pretend to know everything about PC hardware, and you have no idea where to begin, then maybe we can help. Here's our bluffer's guide to PC building. Find all the hardware you need to build your own machine with our handy hardware guides. Technology develops pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. And the terms used to describe the latest and greatest PC gaming hardware develop even faster. Especially when manufacturers title their own products with complete disregard for standard naming conventions, we're looking at you guys, Intel and AMD. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/pc-builder-bluffers-guide Civ VI's first big expansion, Rise and Fall, has been announced. We know quite a lot already, but as Firaxis's marketing campaign gets under way, you can bet that more details about the new civs will trickle out. Think of this article like a bucket, catching those drips: this is where you'll find all the latest about Rise and Fall, all in one handy place. Whom will the new players be joining? Meet the cast in our Civ 6 faction guide. Civ 6 Rise and Fall release dateRise and Fall is due to release on Steam on February 8, 2018. It will cost $29.99, €29.99, or £24.99. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/civilization-vi/civ-6-rise-and-fall-release-date-new-civs-gameplay-trailers Civilization VI's first expansion, Rise and Fall, has been revealed. Given that - in contrast to its predecessor - Civ VI launched with many of the series' key features already in place, we've been especially curious to see where its first major expansion would take us, and we got the chance to go into more depth about the thinking behind its new direction with lead designer, Anton Strenger. Here's everything we know about Civ 6: Rise and Fall. PCGamesN: It sounds like Historic Moments are the new way to trigger Golden Ages. Can you give a couple of examples of these? from https://www.pcgamesn.com/civilization-vi/civ-6-rise-and-fall-anton-strenger-interview Blast Pro Series had its flaws, but there was still a hell of a lot of good Counter-Strike to watch.

It will be called Rise and Fall, will release on February 8, and will cost $29.99 or £24.99. Our list of all the leaders in Civilization VI is about to get a lot bigger. Civ VI's lead designer Ed Beach discussed the team's goals for the future of the game with us a few weeks ago. In line with those goals, Rise and Fall introduces several systems that will make the game more dynamic: cities can now declare independence from your empire if their loyalty falls too low, and attaining certain milestones may trigger other civs to band together against you in an 'emergency' pact. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/civilization-vi/civ-6-rise-and-fall-golden-ages-emergencies-loyalty-timeline Grinding for XP can be burden in any game, but in Star Wars Battlefront 2 its association with the lootbox controversy that marred the game’s launch has made the practice particularly prickly. So much so that players have started coming up with novel ways of amassing XP without actually playing the game all that much. You’re awarded a small amount of XP at the end of every multiplayer match of Battlefront 2. So, so long as you take part (or appear to take part) you’re guaranteed to net a little income towards lootboxes as you play. In theory, you wouldn’t need to play at all, and could just leave the game running to collect the XP you needed. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/star-wars-battlefront-ii/star-wars-battlefront-xp-grind-robot Even more information surrounding Intel’s ninth generation has leaked just one day after the massive leak of processors we saw yesterday. Chinese website HKEPC report that they have spoken with an unnamed Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer who has subsequently spilled the beans on the upcoming 9th Gen Cannon Lake microarchitecture. Want the best silicon you can get your hands on today? Here are the best gaming CPUs up for grabs. While we still don’t have all the details, according to this leak, Intel are upgrading their top i7 range from six-core/12-thread, to eight-core/16-thread with Cannon Lake. This will also see Intel upgrade their core i5 and i3 chips to feature Hyperthreading, which would bring these processors up to core parity with AMD’s Ryzen. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/intel-9th-generation-cannon-lake After loot boxes the National Committee for Games Policy aim to self-regulate the industry11/28/2017 In response to the loot box controversy that’s flared up in recent weeks, a group of games industry professionals have set up a new body to help inform US government policy on videogames. How did we get into this mess? Here's how Battlefront 2's loot boxes work. The National Committee for Games Policy (NCGP) call themselves “the world’s first public policy think tank associated with the videogames and interactive entertainment industry.” They differentiate themselves from the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) in that they are not a group of developers advocating developers’ rights, and are distinct from the UK’s industry associations - from https://www.pcgamesn.com/national-committee-for-games-policy-ncgp-industry-self-regulation Heroes never die.
