Update, December 6: US state legislators are continuing their efforts to ban the sale of loot boxes, and a new video documents their efforts to draft such a law. Hawaii state legislators Sean Quinlan and Chris Lee have been garnering quite a bit of enthusiasm for their efforts to end loot box-style purchases in games, and the latter has even started a YouTube series to document the legislative process. The latest video shows Lee and Quinlan discussing with a lawyer about how to draft a law to bring up in the state legislature. How exactly do Battlefront 2's loot boxes work? Here's how. The idea for the team is to ban the sale of games with “gambling mechanisms” to anyone under the age of 21. The law they’re discussing would only target loot box-style purchases, where money goes toward a “percentage chance” of receiving a desired item. Direct purchases of digital items would not be targeted. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/star-wars-battlefront-ii/battlefront-2-loot-boxes-hawaii-us-legislation-chris-lee Didn't anyone tell you that you should venture in the Swedish woods - especially at night? Well, it's too late now, as that's where you are tasked with surviving in new survival-horror game Unforgiving - A Northern Hymn. Swedish developers Angry Demon Studio have made the most of their home country's rich folklore when making Unforgiving. All of the horrific tales that parents tell their children in order to keep them away from unsafe spaces like the woods come true inside the game. It's not going to be a pleasant trip among the trees. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/unforgiving-a-northern-hymn/free-steam-keys-unforgiving-a-northern-hymn-giveaway Blockchain-based feline breeding game, CryptoKitties, is reportedly overwhelming the network used to process cryptocurrency Ethereum. The popularity of the game means it’s now responsible for 11% of the transactions over the Ethereum network, squeezing the blockchain, slowing down transactions of the digital cash. You can also use your GPUs to play games, and these are the best graphics cards around for that. CryptoKitties was created as a bit of an entry point to cryptocurrencies for the masses, using the twin pillars of cats and cash. It’s also one of the first games to be built using blockchain technology. "We wanted to make blockchain technology accessible to the everyday user, as we believe this is a key step in otherwise seeing the technology adopted," Axiom Zen told Bloomberg. "We wanted to explore blockchain applications outside of ICOs and cryptocurrencies." from https://www.pcgamesn.com/ethereum-cryptokitties-slow-network Fortnite vs. PUBG? Which game should you try? 2017 has been the year of the battle royale, but there have been only two major players: Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. But which is best? If Brendan Greene’s battle royale effort wins out between Fortnite vs. PUBG, increase your chance of a chicken dinner with our PUBG guide. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has taken PC gaming by storm, racking up ridiculous sales numbers and zooming up Steam’s concurrent user chart. Since you can never have too much of a good thing, Fortnite soon came along with its own battle royale mode. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/fortnite-vs-pubg-map-players-graphics-gameplay-weapons-review Update, December 6: We've added all the Curse of Osiris exotics to our comprehensive guide. Exotics are Destiny’s – and now the sequel’s – most sought-after loot. They're harder to get, they look sexier, and they have unique perks that will change your whole playstyle (or are just good fun). Here is every exotic weapon and armour piece in Destiny 2 right now, along with advice on how to get them, and our thoughts about whether they're any good. Looking for something a little more affordable? Try our Destiny 2 legendary weapons guide. While Legendary gear is the meat of your build, Exotics are the spice. Their perks shake things up so dramatically that you can only have one Exotic weapon or armour piece equipped at a time, for the sake of balance (or sanity). Some are so impactful that they should be considered the linchpin of your build, alongside your subclass tree. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/destiny-2/destiny-2-exotic-weapons EA's CFO says Star Wars Battlefront 2's loot-crate debacle has been "a learning experience"12/6/2017 EA’s CFO has offered another response to the Star Wars Battlefront II loot box controversy. Speaking at today’s Nasdaq Investor Conference, Jorgunsen described the furore around the game’s microtransactions as “a learning experience.” Battlefront II now gives bigger end-of-match bonuses. That’s certainly an interesting way to speak about a series of decisions so ill-informed that EA have been constantly shifting their approach to the issue. Rewards have been raised, prices have been lowered, and microtransactions were temporarily turned off in the wake of significant dissatisfaction. The situation has escalated to the point where several governmental agencies are investigating claims that the game’s microtransactions constitute gambling. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/star-wars-battlefront-2/star-wars-battlefront-ii-loot-boxes-experience It is fair to say that Dragon Ball FighterZ is poised to take the fighting game community by storm when it launches next January. While this 3v3 fighter already has genre veterans excited, its real strength will likely be the game’s appeal to fans of the anime who have never thrown one of Dragon Ball Z’s iconic fireballs before. Know which characters will be in Dragon Ball FighterZ? Don't worry, we have the full rundown here. Compared to other fighting games from developers Arc System Works, Dragon Ball FighterZ looks to be their most accessible, thanks to how it gives new players simplified ways to approach and combo their opponent. Avoiding or otherwise working your way past projectiles can be one of the hardest things to get used to for fighting game newcomers. Luckily, Dragon Ball FighterZ’s Super Dash allows you to home straight in on your opponent, breezing through basic projectiles and getting in close to begin a combo. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/dragon-ball-fighterz/dragon-ball-fighterz-combat-gameplay Some of the biggest and best gaming titles around are purely multiplayer action. To really make the most of these social gameplay experiences, you'll need a mic and headset - so why settle for anything less than the best around? Check out the best gaming headset prices at Amazon US or Amazon UK. The best gaming headset can mean different things to different people. Do you want a versatile headset which will make your music and movies sound just as good as your games? Are you an isolationist who needs a pair of cans to block the outside world or a set which will deliver the most natural soundscape possible, regardless of leakage? And can you cope with being wired for sound or do you absolutely, positively have to go for a wireless gaming headset? from https://www.pcgamesn.com/best-gaming-headset The origins of the battle royale genre are manifold, but the gameplay is largely the same: lots of players go in, only one leaves. Battle royale is a violent, unpredictable, and frenzied multiplayer game mode where the only goal is to survive until you’re the only player left alive. You can win them by hiding in bushes and waiting for the herd to thin out, or scavenge a weapon and start reducing the numbers yourself. With the explosion of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s only one battle royale game out there, but there are now numerous games like PUBG. Related: check out the best survival games on PC. Whether you are after a free PUBG clone or an inventive new twist on the formula, there is a battle royale game out there for everyone.
