While Xbox One players struggled with multiple crashes, Watch Dogs: Legion PC players are reporting on Reddit and Ubisoft forums that they are losing hours worth of gameplay due to problematic autosave issues. Some players have found that if they don’t leave the game via the main menu, hours of save data is lost or corrupted. Others have found that waiting for the game to save is taking too long and they’re left with a hanging problem that forces them to alt-F4 close Watch Dogs: Legion which, unfortunately, corrupts or deletes their saves....

Riot Games has made changes to its Privacy Notice and Terms of Service, noting that starting now, all voice chat in Valorant will be recorded for the purposes of combating “disruptive voice communications.” According to the notice, this will also be a possibility in Riot’s other games, such as League of Legends, but for now, the only game where chat will be recorded is Valorant (thanks, Blue). “We know reducing disruptive behavior is a complex problem that will require long-term investment and many different approaches to address—particularly in terms of voice comms, “reads the update....

2022 introduced plenty of new games. Not as many as we’d of liked, but we were in receipt of some colossal titles such as Elden Ring, God of War: Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West. On top of these games, 2022 was a year of great indies, including Stray, Tunic, Pentiment, and more. But exactly how many hours did you spend with each on PlayStation? How many trophies did you earn?...

Citing insider sources, the video talks about how it impacted Valve’s locomotion options, and essentially “showed Valve up” with what was possible in VR. Here’s the video: We recently got a chance to talk to Valve programmer and designer Robin Walker and asked him how true these claims are. “The Boneworks thing is weird,” he told me. “Everyone seems to think that there’s some hidden story there. That’s very confusing to me....

There are a mass of brilliant soundtracks out there, but which ones would we argue are the best of the best? I very well could be here all day listing various contenders, but I’ve done my best to try and narrow it down to just 15, and I’ll no doubt be mad at myself in less than 24 hours when someone points out yet another brilliant soundtrack that didn’t make the cut....

I hadn’t played since Animal Crossing New Leaf, and I bounced off that game hard. I adored Wild World, but it was mostly a single-player experience for me. My little DS was my favourite thing in the world back then. By the time I moved onto my 3DS, my chunky DS was battered to shit. But because I was 12 years old, I was still barely ever on the internet....

This time last year, the Lego Group teamed up with Nintendo to deliver Lego Super Mario, a unique twist on both Lego’s typical construction toy trappings and Mario’s video game roots.

Icons of those early days like Ryan “Prodigal Son” Hart paid out of pocket to represent their countries and communities on enemy turf.

Developer Iron Studio games is urging players to back up their save data in Valheim as an “evil world-destroyer bug is still roaming free” in the popular game. “If you are playing Valheim this weekend, please backup your world and characters,” tweeted Iron Gate CEO, Richard Svensson, on Friday. “It’s an evil bug, that we have yet to be able to reproduce even once :(. It seems to occur more often if you exit the game by ALT+F4, so try to use menu -> exit instead,” Svensson notes....
