Black Friday is now days away. 2018's deals look to be better than last year's and you can actually find some Nintendo Switch game deals right now, as Best Buy has launched its Black Friday sale for select My Best Buy members. But the majority of the deals, including Switch bundles and games, start next week.Many stores have already released their ads, and in some cases, their offers will be available hours or even days in advance. In terms of the Nintendo Switch console, we're seeing an identical deal popping up in a lot of places since we first saw it in Target's preview ad. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy will sell the system for $300, as per usual (or $299 in Walmart's case), but the system will be a special bundle that comes with a free copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for a sub-$300 Switch, we have yet to see anyone drop the system's price. If the aforementioned bundle doesn't appeal to you, Kohl's has a more expensive option that also comes with $90 in Kohl's Cash.A large number of Switch games are on sale, although the sheer scale of these deals is not the same as on PS4 or Xbox One, as you'd expect. Still, there are some good offers: last year's surprisingly excellent XCOM-like, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, drops to $20 at Best Buy; Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate drops to $35 at Target, Walmart, and Best Buy; Arms goes to $35 at Walmart; and Bayonetta 2 (which includes the previous game) will be $40 at Best Buy.Nintendo will presumably launch its own game sale through the Switch Eshop, but as of yet that has not yet begun, as is the case with the PSN and Xbox Live sales. We'll report back if (but, more likely, when) it does.Below, you'll find all of the Black Friday deals on Switch consoles, games, and accessories that we've spotted so far. More deals should be announced in the day ahead, and we'll keep this page updated.

In terms of sheer numbers, deals on individual games represent the bulk of the gaming offers we see on Black Friday. Based on what we've seen so far this year, that will again be the case, but it doesn't mean you have no cheap options for picking up a console like PS4. In fact, you can take advantage of Best Buy's deal right now, depending on what level of My Best Buy member you are.Sony has announced its official Black Friday promotions on PS4, and it reflects what we've seen in the early ads we've seen released to date do include some very nice PlayStation 4 offers. One of Target's best gaming deals is a doorbuster that gets you a 1TB PS4 Slim and a copy of Spider-Man for only $200. You'll find an identical sale at both Best Buy, Walmart, and now Sam's Club, too. You could argue that would be a nice price for the system alone, but to get a $60 game that was just released in September makes it even sweeter, and it seems you'll be able to take advantage of this at numerous retailers. Unfortunately, those looking for a PS4 Pro appear to be out of luck (so far).While this being available through at least stores is encouraging, if you're interested, you'll want to head to your local store (or to its website) as soon as possible on Black Friday. In some areas, stores will actually open on Thanksgiving Day, and Best Buy will have early access in the beginning of Thanksgiving week. You can check out the full Target ad or the store you plan on heading to for further details.We're sure to see more deals pop up for PS4, and we'll continue to update this post as they emerge. We've already had one pre-Black Friday offer at Sam's Club that has now ended, though that required you to have a membership.On the games side, we've already seen confirmed discounts for some of PS4's biggest games of the year, including God of War, NBA 2K19, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. We'll be hunting for deals all month long, so be sure to check back with us as more Black Friday ads are revealed, and check out our roundup of PS4 deals.Best Black Friday DealsThe Best Game Deals On Black FridayPS4's Best Black Friday 2018 DealsXbox One's Best Black Friday 2018 Game DealsBest Buy's Best Black Friday 2018 Game DealsTarget's Best Black Friday 2018 Game DealsWalmart's Best Black Friday 2018 Game DealsAll The Game DealsBlack Friday 2018 DealsWhen The Black Friday Sales StartPS4 Black Friday 2018 DealsNintendo Switch Black Friday 2018 DealsXbox One Black Friday 2018 DealsTarget Black Friday 2018 Game DealsBest Buy Black Friday 2018 Game DealsWalmart Black Friday 2018 Game DealsGameStop Black Friday 2018 Game DealsWho Has The Cheapest PS4 On Black Friday?Best BuyPS4 with Spider-Man -- $200GameStopPS4 with Spider-Man -- $200TargetPS4 with Spider-Man -- $200 [Doorbuster]WalmartPS4 with Spider-Man -- $199Sam's ClubPS4 with Spider-Man -- $199Info from Gamespot.com

Rainbow Six Siege will expand once again before the end of the year with the introduction of Operation Wind Bastion's new map and two additional Operators. After playing around three hours of the new DLC season, I can confidently say Nomad and Kaid are both fun to play with, but one of them poses a big problem for developer Ubisoft.Nomad, an attacker, is in a good place already. Her primary weapons come attached with a device that launches wind-powered proximity mines. When an opponent approaches, the mines blast all enemies back and off their feet. Opposing players are rendered unable to use their weapon for a short duration, and must get back up before they can attack or move again. The mines can be used defensively to protect your flanks or offensively to flush enemies out, and they're effective at achieving both objectives. But, crucially, there are relatively specific circumstances that are required for her ability to be used to its maximum potential--utilize it at the wrong location and its power will make little difference. The balance, then, appears to have been expertly struck.The new defender Kaid, on the other hand, has issues. His Electroclaws, stick-shaped devices that electrify an unlimited number of metallic objects within a small radius, feel massively overpowered, especially since they render an old Operator almost totally pointless. Why would anyone choose Bandit and his four shock wires--capable of electrifying a total of four reinforcements or deployments--when they can pick Kaid and his three Electroclaws, which if placed intelligently could conceivably electrify nine objects, including hatches? And because those Electroclaws are small and can be placed at any height, it makes locating and destroying them very difficult for attackers.That's before you even get to his strong loadout, which offers a rapid-fire AUG-based SMG or an extremely powerful suppressed shotgun in addition to a scoped, high-power pistol. That loadout compounds Kaid's three armor, one speed setup to make him a formidable anchor. Ubisoft has attempted to balance his loadout by introducing a delay before his Electroclaws are active, meaning fast players can react and destroy Hibana's slow-activating pellets before they detonate, but you can't do the same to the quicker Thermite charges. However it's a small drawback to an otherwise incredibly powerful Operator. Nerfs will need to arrive soon after launch--or even before if the test server community reports similar observations--or Kaid's introduction risks harming any or all of Hibana, Thermite, Bandit, and Mute.In Siege's lore, Kaid is Nomad's tutor in Morocco's GIGR special forces. The game's new map, Fortress, is also Moroccan, and I'm pleased to say it's a--technical term here--banger. With a huge roof area offering attackers large scope for descent from above, it forces enemy teams to play defensively. Despite Fortress's large size, then, it offers a welcome trip back to the confined, claustrophobic, close-quarters action Siege was best known for in its first year.Wind Bastion is shaping up to be, as is usual with Siege's DLC drops, a worthy expansion that carries welcome additions to its roster. Nomad should slot in nicely with the rest of the game's now 46-strong lineup, and Fortress is an excellent new map that offers a nice taste of old Siege to accompany its north African aesthetic. However, Kaid will need to be nerfed hard in the coming weeks to avoid upsetting Siege's delicate balance.Info from Gamespot.com

Rainbow Six Siege's new Operators have been fully revealed at the game's Pro League finals. The Operators, named Nomad and Kaid, come from Morocco's GIGR (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Royale), and the game's new map, Fortress, is also set in Morocco.Kaid, a Defender, comes equipped with three deployable electroclaws, which electrify any metallic object within a small radius. That means, if placed correctly, one electroclaw could electrify multiple reinforcements, deployable shields, or razor wires.Nomad, meanwhile, is an Attacker. Her primary weapons come attached with a device that launches wind-powered proximity mines. When an opponent approaches, the mines blast all enemies back and off their feet. Opposing players are rendered unable to use their weapon for a short duration, and must get back on their feet. The mines can be used defensively to protect your flanks or offensively to flush enemies out.Operation Wind Bastion includes the two new Operators and the new Fortress map, though Ubisoft has not yet revealed the DLC's release date. The base game, meanwhile, is currently free for the weekend on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.Siege's last major patch, Update Y3S3.2, addressed many of the bugs that previously existed in the game. The update also added balancing changes to both Clash and Maestro, two Operators that Ubisoft felt were underused. Two firearms, the SMG-11 and Vector, were also patched to reduce recoil and improve the weapons' handling.Info from Gamespot.com

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is in theaters now. Have you seen it yet? What did you think of Newt's latest adventure? Let us know in the comments below the article, and keep reading to find out what was going on with that ending.The ending of Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald was a doozy. At least one prominent character introduced in this sequel was unceremoniously killed, and even more importantly, that twist probably left your jaw on the floor. That's partially because it was so unexpected, and partially because it doesn't seem to make a shred of sense.We're going to do our best to explain Crimes of Grindelwald's ending, so naturally, we're getting into spoilers for the Fantastic Beasts sequel. You've been warned.Let's get this out of the way: Who is Credence, Ezra Miller's character? As Grindelwald reveals in the movie's final scene, Credence is actually Aurelius Dumbledore, a secret Dumbledore sibling. Yes, another secret Dumbledore. I say another because, as Harry Potter fans may recall, the former Hogwarts headmaster was a private, secretive man. It's unclear whether the general wizarding community was aware of his siblings, Aberforth and the long dead Ariana, but certainly Harry Potter and the other students at Hogwarts--and by extension we readers and fans--knew nothing of Dumbledore's family. The existence of his siblings toward the end of the series was treated as a reveal.Now it turns out that Albus had yet another secret brother, and even he might not know about Aurelius. At least, the character (played here by Jude Law) gives no indication in this movie that he knows Credence's real identity. And once again, the series treats the existence of a Dumbledore sibling as a massive twist.J.K. Rowling is the sole credited screenwriter on The Crimes of Grindelwald, so you can take what's in this movie as canon if you like. But it's a pretty cheap twist either way. For one thing, it was never set up at all throughout these movies, and it goes utterly unexplained--which, granted, makes it incredibly shocking. For another, Rowling already did the "secrets of Dumbledore's past" thing in the main Harry Potter series. Here, she's merely repeating herself, and it's way less interesting the second time around.But the Aurelius Dumbledore twist raises even more questions beyond simply "why," like "How can Credence possibly be Albus Dumbledore's brother?" That isn't easy to answer, since it doesn't seem to make sense.The Baby SwitcherooFirst, let's get into the "how:" How did Aurelius Dumbledore wind up where he is? The movie explains this in the second-to-last scene's interminable exposition dump, so bear with me while I do my best to untangle it.Credence's identity is a huge focus of The Crimes of Grindelwald, and most characters seem to think he's a lost son of the Lestrange family. Specifically, Credence is thought to be Corvus Lestrange, half brother to Leta Lestrange, Zoe Kravitz's character. But Leta reveals in the tomb scene that he can't be Corvus, because she knows Corvus is dead. There's yet another new character who features prominently in this story: Yusuf Kama, who we know nothing about until this scene. According to Leta, her father put a spell on Yusuf's mother, who then died in childbirth having Leta. Leta's father remarried, producing another baby--Corvus. Yusuf sets out to kill Credence to get revenge against Leta's father, since he thinks Credence is Corvus Lestrange. However, while on a boat from England to New York, Leta switched Corvus with another baby because she got sick of his crying (solid big sis move). The boat sank, and Leta survived, but with the other child.The reasons for a lot of this are unclear. Why does anyone think that Corvus is dead, since Leta and a baby that everyone should believe is her brother survived the boat sinking? And if everyone thinks Corvus is dead for some reason, why does anyone, including Yusuf, think Credence is Corvus? Why were Leta and Corvus on that boat to begin with? How could that other baby be a secret Dumbledore? What are the odds of those two babies being on the same boat? Why did Credence end up in foster care with some wizard-hating weirdo?Some of these questions may be answered in the movie, but it's impossible to be sure after just one viewing, thanks to the film's convoluted story, confusing structure, huge cast of poorly developed new characters, and last minute info dump where all this is revealed so quickly it's hard to keep track. This is where the Fantastic Beasts movies really start to feel like the Star Wars prequels. But if we're going to try to make sense of it, we have to get into the Dumbledore family history.Dumbledore Family HistoryAlbus's parents were Percival and Kendra Dumbledore. The Harry Potter books establish a pretty clear timeline for their tragic story. Kendra Dumbledore died in 1899, the same year as Albus's younger sister, Ariana. And Percival was imprisoned in the wizard jail Azkaban, where he died some time after 1890. The Crimes of Grindelwald takes place sometime around 1927. Therefore, if Credence--AKA Aurelius--is Albus's full brother, he must be in his late thirties, which he clearly is not.There are more possibilities if Aurelius is Albus's half brother. If Kendra had Aurelius late in her life--toward the end of the 19th century--then he would be in his late twenties during Crimes, which is more possible, although still unlikely, as Credence seems clearly meant to be a teenager in these films.That leaves one last possibility, and the one that's most likely: Aurelius is Albus Dumbledore's half brother by their father, Percival. Percival spent the final years of his life in Azkaban, where the dementors suck all the joy and emotion out of the prisoners. It's hard to imagine Aurelius fathering a child and somehow smuggling that child out of Azkaban, but then again, who knows what Rowling has in mind? What's certain is that it isn't explained in this movie, so let's hope we get the full story in the next one. Either way, it seems incredibly strange that Albus Dumbledore has yet another sibling, and that this one was somehow lost to history, despite being the focus of the entire magical world circa 1927. No one remembers any of this by the time Harry Potter starts digging through Dumbledore's past in the 1990s? Rita Skeeter uncovers no hints of Aurelius's existence while gathering dirt for her book, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore? No doubt we'll find out in future Fantastic Beasts films, but it seems for that to make sense, Credence's true identity will need to stay a secret, which I can't imagine will prove satisfying from a narrative perspective.Anyway. By the end of Fantastic Beasts 2, Grindelwald is poised to make his move, with a small army of followers that now includes both Credence/Aurelius and, for reasons that make absolutely no sense, Queenie. Newt, Dumbledore, and the aurors are ready to fight back, which should hopefully make the next Fantastic Beasts movie a little more straightforward.The Blood PactThere's one other facet to Crimes of Grindelwald's ending that gives us hope for Fantastic Beasts 3 and beyond: Dumbledore is in possession of the blood pact he made with Grindelwald. Oh, by the way, blood pacts are now a thing in Harry Potter I guess. Who needs unbreakable vows when you have blood pacts?The blood pact between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is a physical, magic McGuffin that Grindelwald has had in his possession all along. It's the reason why Dumbledore insists several times in this movie that he can't be the one to confront Grindelwald. As teenagers, the two were close--"closer than brothers," and in fact, they were most likely romantically entangled. Thus, they made a blood pact that apparently prevents Dumbledore from fighting Grindelwald.Thanks to Newt's niffler, Dumbledore is now in possession of that blood pact, and he believes he can destroy it, paving the way for the epic confrontation we know these movies are headed toward. At least that's something to look forward to. Info from Gamespot.com

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is in theaters now. Have you seen it yet? What did you think of Newt's latest adventure? Let us know in the comments below the article, and keep reading to find out what we thought.In The Crimes of Grindelwald's third scene, a character who we never learn anything about despite her constant presence throughout the entire movie murders a toddler, for no reason, just off screen. Even Michael Myers, famed slasher movie villain of the Halloween series, didn't sink that low, although you could tell in the most recent one that he considered it for a moment.This moment perfectly sets the tone for the rest of this movie: a grim, overly dramatic, mean-spirited entry into the Harry Potter universe. Fantastic Beasts 2 can accurately be described as a loosely connected series of mostly sequential events, though it's often unclear how it gets from one scene to the next or why the characters do any of the things they do. Often, the next plot point just happens to appear wherever the characters already are, seemingly to save the filmmakers the trouble of establishing a sense of time or space. The movie also abandons almost every rule we know about magical spells, places, and people, trading the series' long-established internal logic and consistency for large, ugly, confusing CG set pieces, like magical blue fire that inexplicably burns some people and not others, and eventually turns into several large dragons that attempt to destroy Paris.Maybe worst of all, The Crimes of Grindelwald has no sense of wonder at its own magical world. Millions fell in love with Harry Potter because the wizarding world felt like a place you'd want to live, despite its bad elements. Inhabiting this movie's magical alternate history for a couple of hours will just make you want to get obliviated so you can forget the whole thing. Like the original, Fantastic Beasts 2 follows Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander, a protagonist who you may eventually convince yourself to like, although it's totally unclear why the movie's young Dumbledore (Jude Law) puts any faith in him when he sends him on a mission to stop Grindelwald.These movies can't decide whether Newt is a bumbling nincompoop who constantly loses track of the magical platypuses and other creatures that are his charge, or a powerful warrior-mage who can go toe-to-toe with the most dangerous magical fascists of his day. It tries to have it both ways, which just makes him baffling as a character, made worse by the fact that he mumbles most of his lines and is often difficult to understand. Even the movie's titular fantastic beasts--the myriad magical creatures Newt cares for--are totally lacking in charm, just as they were in the first movie. These CG monstrosities can't compare to the largely practical creatures seen in the main Harry Potter movies, and many, from a deer-like monster with a gaping mouth to a large sea beast made from kelp, are simply thrown in for no reason and with little or no explanation.Many other characters from the first movie return, although author-turned-screenwriter J.K. Rowling fails to give most of them anything to do or any purpose in the plot. For example, Katherine Waterston's Tina Goldstein is chasing bad guys around the world and is mad at Newt over a misprint in a newspaper that led her to believe he was engaged to someone else. It's one of those iconic movie moments where if one person could just get out the correct words--"I'm not engaged, it was a copy error"--they could avoid a ton of frustrating drama and miscommunication. You know, everyone's favorite trope.Ezra Miller returns as Credence, who is once again almost completely wasted as nothing more than a lame MacGuffin, and only exists so the movie can orchestrate a last-second twist that is too unearned and poorly explained for the filmmakers to have possibly had it in mind while establishing his character in the first movie. Magical villain Grindelwald is unfortunately still played by Johnny Depp (recall that Depp needlessly replaced the infinitely more interesting Colin Farrell at the end of the first movie in what, after this film's ending, is only the second worst twist in Harry Potter history). Depp seems to have no idea what to do with the weird magi-fascist dogma his character needs to constantly recite, and so just plays it as seriously as possible, which winds up being boring to the point that his monologues eventually become monotonous. Meanwhile, the ditzy but lovable Queenie (Alison Sudol), who in the first one at least had a narrative reason to exist, suffers through an unbelievably lazy and nonsensical arc that I can't believe actually made it into the movie. And Dan Fogler's muggle character Jacob is there too, once again mostly just following the other characters around and occasionally saying something funny.There are a ton of new characters. Callum Turner plays Newt's brother Theseus, a more handsome version of Newt who has even less personality. Seriously, I could not tell you one other trait about Newt's brother besides his occupation (auror, the in-universe term for wizard cop) and that he's Newt's brother. Grindelwald is surrounded by sidekicks and henchmen who one and all literally don't matter. Zoe Kravitz plays Leta Lestrange (somehow related to the main series villain Bellatrix Lestrange), who does nothing the entire movie and exists only to deliver a long exposition dump in the final act, while Brontis Jodorowsky's Nicolas Flamel, an important figure in Harry Potter lore, is in the movie but does nothing.None of these new faces are properly introduced, characterized, or developed, including one character whose name I can't remember (if it's ever established in the first place), who we follow through much of the movie before learning even the basic facts of who he is and why he matters at all. At one point he inexplicably keels over, and he might be dead--it's actually pretty confusing--and you're honestly unsure whether you're supposed to be relieved or sad, or feel anything at all, because you have no idea who he is despite that being his second or third scene.Maybe the worst addition of all is Claudia Kim, who plays Nagini, the personified version of Voldemort's CG snake from the main Harry Potter series. Nagini's only purposes in the movie are occasionally looking sad when the camera cuts to her (she has maybe two lines of dialogue), and generating press coverage about how Rowling is retconning Voldemort's snake to actually be a person named Nagini who will eventually transform permanently. Years after these events, you may recall, Voldemort will put part of his soul in the snake, and Neville Longbottom will have to murder her. Why it was important to establish this major change now--or at all--is honestly a mystery. That's just one of the ways The Crimes of Grindelwald retcons the larger Harry Potter story into continuity oblivion. The worst example of this is a massive spoiler, so I won't write it here, but you'll know it when you see it and the theater around you lets out a collective resigned sigh: So this is what it's come to. This is the wizarding world without Harry Potter.Where Crimes doesn't retcon existing plot, it shamelessly rehashes twists, ideas, and entire characters from the main series. Grindelwald was obviously always Voldemort's predecessor, but that's also probably a pretty good reason why these movies were a bad idea in the first place. The two villains have the exact same ideology, methods, and personality. The only difference is we already know exactly how this version ends, this being a prequel and all. Oh, and I'd take Ralph Fiennes (or Colin Farrell for that matter) over Johnny Depp any magical day of the week. To my opening point, yes, I'm aware that the entire Harry Potter series, from literally the first chapter, hangs on the story of a bad guy attempting to murder a child. The difference is Voldemort tries to kill Harry for a reason. The horrific act is done in service of the plot, it's regarded as the horrific act that it is, and in fact, it sets the whole series in motion. The murder of a child--or any of the horrific things Voldemort does or tries to do--is treated with the gravity it deserves. When Grindelwald's nameless but prominently featured underling Avada Kedavras a toddler in the third scene of this movie, it's simply because the toddler happened to be in a random house that Grindelwald chose as his new headquarters. The act serves no purpose, and it's never brought up again.That's a wizarding world in which I don't want to live, and dragging out that scale model of Hogwarts and the series' iconic theme music for a fly-over shot two thirds of the way in, when the movie is really starting to drag, doesn't change that in the slightest.The GoodThe BadDan Fogler occasionally says something funnyDecimates Harry Potter continuity, structure, and existing lore New characters are pointless while old ones have nothing to do Johnny Depp has no idea what to do with the character Grindelwald Ignores every rule of the magical world we've come to know Ugly CG creatures are thrown in for no reason Plot makes little sense and events happen mostly at randomInfo from Gamespot.com

As with every WWE PPV, there are plenty of rumors floating adrift on the internet, and for Survivor Series, which kicks off today on the WWE Network, there is a lot of gossip centered around some major matches.At Survivor Series, the PPV has the rosters of Raw and Smackdown fight each other to determine which is the dominant brand, and the vast majority of the matches will revolve around this theme.We'll see champions fighting champions with Brock Lesnar taking on AJ Styles and Ronda Rousey battling Becky Lynch. As of this writing, there will be no titles on the line as Survivor Series is all about brand supremacy. Is Raw or Smackdown the better show? Well, Smackdown is, no matter who wins.The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California will host Survivor Series, which starts at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, and while a pre-show hasn't been announced yet, we're assuming a two-hour long Kickoff Show will open up the PPV.The card is slowly coming together, and with the card come rumors from industry insiders, fan theories, and dream concepts that will never come to fruition. We scoured the internet for all the most plausible rumors that have people talking and found that there's nothing too shocking planned for Survivor Series yet.Below are the latest rumors for Survivor Series. We'll keep you updated if anything changes or these get confirmed prior to the PPV.Possible Tag Team MatchNewly crowned Raw Tag Team Champions, AOP, will more than likely take on Smackdown's Tag Team Champions, The Bar. The match hasn't been announced yet, but considering all the other champions are booked in Survivor Series matches, this seems like a no brainer. However, it may be relegated to the Kickoff Show.UPDATE: The match was added.Full Men's Survivor Series TeamsAccording to PW Insider, the Raw vs. Smackdown Men's match will contain Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler on Raw's team and Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and Randy Orton on Smackdown's team. Shane McMahon and Baron Corbin will work in opposite corners as managers for the event.UPDATE: Bobby Lashley was added to the men's team. However, Kurt Angle will not be involved. Instead, Finn Balor made the Raw team. And Randy Orton will not be on Smackdown's team. Instead, Shane McMahon took his place. However, there are more rumors that McMahon will be removed from the match on the November 14 episode of Smackdown.Shane Heel TurnShane McMahon will be using his Crown Jewel World Cup win as part of a heel turn, using the "Best in the World" monicker. This is all part of a long-time plan on Smackdown, according to Wrestling Observer.Luke Harper InjuredThe Bludgeon Brother is seen wearing a cast in a photo from comedian Brad Williams. That may explain why he hasn't been on TV recently.Why Strowman Isn't The ChampMost WWE fans were baffled at Brock Lesnar beating Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel. However, it may be because the Monster Among Men has a bunch of heat backstage. According to Wrestling Inc, Strowman doesn't show up to work on time and has a bit of a reputation for leaving these same shows early. Additionally, he's working with some knee injuries as well, which is why he looks a little awkward running around.Why Bliss Won't Be Wrestling At The PPVYou've probably noticed Alexa Bliss will not be competing at Survivor Series, as she's now just the captain of the Raw women's team. The reason why is because she may have had multiple concussions in a short period of time, with her last match being back on October 19, via Wrestling News. She's not 100% out, but her actually fighting at the show is extremely unlikely.UPDATE: She's captain of the Raw women's team, but not wrestling.Cross-Brand Attack!Much like last year's Survivor Series, there is a good change we could see members of Smackdown or Raw appear on the opposite shows this week, to help build some story for the Raw vs. Smackdown Survivor Series matches.UPDATE: Becky Lynch and the Smackdown women's roster appeared on the November 12 episode of Raw and beat down the women's Survivor Series Raw team. Ronda Rousey Gets Her First LossAccording to Rajah and a few other places, Ronda Rousey will get her first official loss at Survivor Series. However, it won't be a clean win for Becky Lynch. Apparently, Nia Jax and Tamina will interfere, giving Lynch the win. However, there is another rumor that Charlotte will interfere, which again, will give Lynch the win.UPDATE: Because of Becky Lynch's injury, this will most likely not happen.The Worst Becky Lynch Rumor YetObviously, there is a ton of hype around the Becky Lynch/Ronda Rousey match at Survivor Series, but what if we told you that WWE is planning on canceling that match? According to WWG writer Robert Workman, WWE is considering pulling the match from the card. Why? Well, the company may have to follow concussion protocol after Lynch's nose got busted open on Raw. Please don't let this happen.UPDATE: Lynch was removed from Survivor Series and replaced by Charlotte.Lesnar Destroys BryanWith Daniel Bryan winning the WWE Championship on a recent episode of Smackdown, that means he'll be coming face-to-face with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. This is going to be a squash match. It won't last long, and Bryan will take a beating. That's how Lesnar matches work now. Why is he champ again?Make sure to come back to GameSpot on Sunday, November 18 for live coverage and a review of the event. Info from Gamespot.com

Well, war has certainly changed. Fallout, the RPG series with a 20-year legacy, finds its latest entry taking another chance at braving a new direction: online multiplayer. It puts a major focus on cooperating with other people in a world with perpetual activities that seek to sustain your engagement indefinitely. It's an enormous game and there's a lot to see. Because of its online nature, GameSpot staff got access to the full version of Fallout 76 on the day of its general release, so we've been playing alongside you and everyone else.At the time of writing, I've spent three modest days with Fallout 76, leisurely soaking in the world, churning through quests, and cooperating with both friends and strangers to do quests, participate in public events, and explore. I'm a series-long Fallout fan who's enjoyed every mainline entry and avoided 76's beta tests with the intent of making sure my first taste was of the launch product. I'm compiling my early thoughts here and will be updating my opinion with a finalized review once I've taken enough time to dive deeper and see the breadth of what Fallout 76 has to offer.Fallout 76 feels like a game without a strong focus. It makes changes to the time-tested structure seen in Fallout 4 to make it function as both a single-player and multiplayer experience. But in doing so, both styles of play suffer from major compromises that exist only to serve the other, and as a result, neither is exemplary.You and everyone else is cast as a dweller of Vault 76, an underground bunker filled with overachieving, competitive people tasked with rebuilding the world after a nuclear apocalypse. That time is now, and upon leaving, you also discover that the vault's overseer has undertaken a personal mission. Finding her becomes your overarching pursuit as you enter the vast remains of a scorched world where unknown beasts roam and every other human being is a real person playing the game.Fallout 76 has no artificial human characters to interact with. The justification is that because the dwellers of Vault 76 are among the first to reenter this devastated America, there are very few coherent beings, and many of the folks who survived nuclear annihilation died before your arrival. Without established characters to populate the world, the vibe of Fallout 76 is an eerie one, frequently amplifying one of the series' great strengths: the feeling of desolation. There's a curiosity about the environment that drives you to veer off the beaten path, visit places that once were, attempt to imagine what life might have been like before everything went to hell, and what's happened there since. Exploring the wasteland remains one of 76's most enjoyable aspects.But the lack of inhabitants is also Fallout 76's biggest problem, and it limits the world to being little more than just an environmental showcase with things to kill. It means that the art of conversation, a fundamental series feature, is disappointingly absent. But more critically, it means there are no strong emotional anchors to help you become truly invested in the world, a complication that diminishes the game's other core activities.The biggest victim is the quest system. Without actually having people with needs and desires, initiating and undertaking quests frequently involves the use of environmental storytelling tools--listening to audio logs, reading notes, and browsing through computer terminals for key information. A quest will often explore the stories of certain characters, but they're characters that have long since passed, and all you get are long monologues and one-way directives from a person who no longer exists and you can't interact with. Your actions ultimately won't affect anyone, or the rest of the world for that matter--everywhere you go gets reset with items and enemies regularly--and staying motivated becomes an issue after an extended period....there are no strong emotional anchors to help you become truly invested in the world...Some of these stories are intriguing to be sure, and when you come across a tale about a character who piques your interest, you get excited to find out more about their last living moments. But there's such an over-reliance on having disembodied voices talking at you for every aspect of the game that it's easy for these standouts to become lost. The lack of a more relatable and personal connection between your actions, the world, and its inhabitants means that it's easy for quests to feel like meaningless wild goose chases. It makes the idea of going straight into another quest--listening to more audio logs, running across the country to search for more doohickeys, reading through more diary entries--feel exhausting.Fallout 76 also feels like it has fewer opportunities to complete quests in your own unique ways at this early stage, which exacerbates the sense that you're having little impact on the wasteland. Lockpicking, hacking, and stealth abilities remain in 76, which provide a little bit of ability to choose how you solve problems. But the quests we've played so far all feel like they have linear throughlines to the goal. Exploring the world's quieter, idle set pieces at your own pace remains the more rewarding narrative experience.The reliance on things like audio logs and written notes also proves to be the biggest deterrent to playing Fallout 76 in multiplayer. By teaming up, you can explore the world together, get help in taking down difficult enemies, and complete any quest, but certain things are kept distinct to each individual player's experience. Containers that hold items, for example, will have unique loot for each person who opens them. But what's also unique is that quest objective completion is not shared, and every member in your squad needs to activate things personally to have them count toward their progression.This is a great idea on paper, as it makes sure everyone sees each piece of a story themselves. But in playing with both good friends and strangers, I found that each person's individual need to advance quests severely hinders the flow of the progress. Because of the need to wait for your squad to catch up, have each member take their own time to listen to important tapes (which is impossible when you've got voice chat going) and search terminals for pertinent information, questing in multiplayer requires a lot of patience and courtesy. Add to that the fact that Fallout is already a game that encourages constant, time-consuming gear management which penalizes your movement speed for being over-encumbered, and the idea of having another squad member just feels like an additional burden.If you have a squad that is happy to skip the narrative content things will go much more smoothly, but then you're denying yourself the one vector that gives these quests context. Multiplayer is more enjoyable when you and your squad are just content to leisurely explore the world, scavenge for items, and get into scrapes. Questing solo has its own obstacles too--packs of enemies will often have a handful of foes that are 10 or 20 levels above you--but not needing to wait around is definitely a big advantage.Fighting enemies also doesn't feel that meaningful in 76, a more morbid consequence of the lack of in-universe characters. Appalachia is filled with an assortment of delightfully mutated creatures both new and old, including humanoid enemies like the Scorched and Mole Miners who can wield firearms. But it isn't as entertaining to take on enemies that haven't wronged you or anyone you know. Without sadistic raiders and their despicable actions to be appalled by, interesting gang factions to get on the wrong side of, or being able to understand how this particular brand of super mutants came to be, the hostiles you encounter in 76 just feel like cannon fodder.The combat mechanics don't deal well with a lot of cannon fodder, either. Appalachia is filled with dozens of public events that invite everyone on the server to gather and participate in a unique task tied to a particular location. From the dozen or so I've seen so far, these largely boil down to escort and defense missions that ask you to hold back multiple waves of enemies. Fallout 76's combat system is mostly unchanged from Fallout 4 and is serviceable enough to make small skirmishes with either firearms or melee weapons feel good. But the system is not so good that shooting hordes of enemies for 20 minutes in an event feels like anything other than a chore--the gunplay and movement are not satisfyingly responsive or kinetic enough to make them enjoyable for long periods.That's also partially due to the change in VATS. What was once a strategic pause-style ability that let you target body parts and take time to assess your surroundings is now a real-time auto-aim system that allows for additional damage, a change presumably made for multiplayer. It serves its purpose in being able to make precision hits on limbs when the action is manageable, but in more intense situations VATS does little to make up for the limitations of the real-time combat system as it once did.Fallout 76 also falls victim to the series' now characteristic penchant for technical bugs. Whether caused by the game engine or the online nature of the game, I've run into a number of technical oddities in the PC version. Problems like clipping through the world, frozen animations, entire buildings failing to load, enemies getting stuck in walls, audio logs not playing, enemies spawning out of mid-air, losing control due to unstable server connections, and being unable to turn in quests due to unresponsive prompts are just some examples.Some of the changes in Fallout 76 are wholly positive, though. The straightforward but satisfying base-building component carries over from Fallout 4 and plays a bigger part in 76. A few smart decisions, like the ability to move your base camp for a trivial fee and the ability to save blueprints of entire structures for easy placement elsewhere, makes building complex camps a pleasant and fulfilling activity. The game's unique take on player-versus-player competition is effective at deterring unprovoked attacks when exploring the world, too--it's a lot of work for little reward if your target doesn't retaliate. The flexibility of the new perk system (which is now card-based) allows you to change your abilities at will, which has encouraged me to use of Fallout's weirder skills, depending on my situation.Fallout 76 attempts to pull off some significantly new ideas for the series, but with few exceptions, they notably diminish many aspects of the game. Multiplayer is fun, but it's not an ideal way to enjoy questing, and the shooting mechanics aren't strong enough to make combat-heavy activities enjoyable for long periods. Things feel better as a solo experience, but the lack of in-universe characters makes becoming emotionally invested in the world and your goals difficult.I'll continue to play the game with the intention of finishing the campaign, a good portion of the side quests, and getting involved in end-game content. This review will be updated and finalized when all that happens. But at this early stage, I feel like the only reason I'm enjoying the game as much as I am is because of an existing fondness for the Fallout series, not because of anything that can be distinctly attributed to Fallout 76.Info from Gamespot.com

At WWE events, you can always expect to see famous people sitting in the front rows, especially at major PPVs. However, at this year's Survivor Series, the audience got to see former wrestler Enzo Amore, and those sitting by him got a whole show before he was booted from the arena.Sitting in the second row, in full view of the hard cameras, Eric Arndt, known by WWE fans as Enzo Amore, arrived to this year's Survivor Series during the Seth Rollins/Shinsuke Nakamura match. He was wearing a hoodie and keeping his head low throughout the match, as first noticed by comic book writer Mario Candelaria, who was sitting two rows behind him.During the AOP vs. The Bar match, Arndt got up and starting making a scene, but the cameras quickly cut away. Those watching the PPV at home missed out on what many have described as Enzo being Enzo.Photo by Mario CandelariaArndt stood up, spung around, and did was sounded like a typical Enzo promo, all while holding a custom championship belt, according to Candelaria who sent GameSpot an image from the moment. Security forcefully threw Arndt from the chair he was sitting in, and Arndt ran out of the area. Apparently, people were hurt when this went down and the LAPD is currently taking statements from the audience.Many who noticed Amore in the crowd prior to his hijacking of the show thought Amore was going to get involved in the ring somehow. Back in January, Arndt was released from WWE after the company found out about an ongoing sexual assault case, which turned out to be false. However, many insiders say that this was the last straw for WWE as Arndt caused numerous problems backstage.The former WWE star is no stranger to getting kicked out of things after making a scene. Earlier this week, Arndt was booted from a Delta flight after refusing to stop vaping on an airplane before takeoff, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet. As he was being escorted off the place, some hero yelled, "How you doin'?"However, Survivor Series continues, so make sure to check out our live coverage of the event.Info from Gamespot.com
