You'll first meet resistance in the parking garage. Most of the fights won't be too tough, but as you press forward, you'll eventually face three Elite Riot Troopers, three Guard Dogs, and two 3-C SOLDIERS all at the same time. It's a tough battle; quickly try to use Fire spells on the Riot Troopers to knock some or all of them out fast. Switch Cloud to Punisher and focus on the Guard Dogs, using your counter to knock them back; you'll want to do the same with the SOLDIERS. Hit the dogs with Ice spells to do high damage and try to get rid of them as quickly as you can, because they're highly mobile and very irritating. With everything else destroyed, you should be free to fight the SOLDIERS slowly and deliberately with magic, blocks, and counter-attacks.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a mostly straightforward game, but every once in awhile, you get the opportunity to complete the side-quests. There are four chapters in total with side-quests, each yielding unique rewards. Below you can find a roundup of every side-quest walkthrough we've created, which include step-by-step breakdowns on how to complete them.Table of Contents [hide]Chapter 3Chadley's ReportChapter 3FF7 Remake's third chapter is your first foray into the game's semi-open sections where you get to complete side-quests. None are especially difficult, so you should definitely complete them all, as doing so gets you a special story moment with Tifa at the end of the chapter.Chadley's ReportChadley is your one-stop-shop for powerful materia.Chadley is the weird kid standing next to Wymer, who wants your help developing new materia. He'll give you the Assess Materia when you take on the quest; use it on any enemies you fight from here on out. It'll give you valuable tactical information, while completing this quest for Chadley. Later, he'll give you Battle Intel assignments with a variety of objectives to unlock additional materia. For this one, return when you've analyzed two different types of enemies to buy the Auto-Cure Materia at a discounted rate.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's no easing into making a competitive game in 2020. Already inundated with games like Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, the battle royales, the MOBAs, and the auto chesses, players have plenty of choices, so if you want to present an alternative, it had better be ready for prime time. Bleeding Edge, the new third-person competitive brawler from DmC developer Ninja Theory, doesn't feel like it's there yet. There's plenty of potential: Its four-on-four scrums blend the mashy feeling of an old school beat-em-up with the tactical considerations of MOBAs and hero shooters, setting it apart from anything you're going to find in popular competitive scenes. However, it suffers from "early days" growing pains that may push players away, rather than draw them in.Bleeding Edge is a self-described competitive multiplayer "brawler," but what does that actually mean? Depending on your point of reference, you could call it a "boots on the ground-style MOBA" or a "third-person hero shooter." It's an action game where two teams of four fight within the narrative framework of competing in one of two team sports--a King of the Hill-style "Objective Control" scenario and "Power Collection," a resource-hoarding mode where players need to break energy canisters and return their contents to designated points at specific times. Though the two variants have their quirks, both boil down to dynamic point control. Whether you're delivering energy or protecting your "hills," you need to defend a position. If you're trying to block your enemy from scoring in either mode, you need to take a position.Both of these things require all four players to work as a team. Though some fighters are better suited for one-on-one combat than others, moving and fighting as a squad is mandatory because the team with larger numbers almost always wins, regardless of skill. Inevitably, each match becomes a series of teamfights for control of an area. In the moment, these battles can feel a bit mashy and sloppy as you rapidly jam on the attack button, but there's a good deal of strategy involved around creating favorable matchups, combining skills to maximize damage dealt and minimize damage taken, and positioning yourself to avoid wide-reaching crowd control attacks. On top of that, all of the levels present some kind of environmental hazard around one or more of the key points on the map, which can throw a wrench in the gears of the most pivotal moments in a match.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Beyond the reef, the shelf drops away into the turquoise haze of the open ocean. I find myself surrounded by golden-peaked pillars aglow with the shimmering petals of sunlit life. Bright green webs of twisted tendrils extend from pillar to pillar, forming a writhing network of bridges for the feathery, fern-like creatures who patrol and maintain them. It's a spectacular, awe-inspiring scene. Yet it exists mostly in my imagination, its wonder shaped by a handful of single-sentence descriptions and a simple two-colour contour map. In Other Waters does so much with seemingly so little, emerging as a masterclass in prudent, minimalist storytelling.Dr. Ellery Vas is a xenobiologist following in the wake of her partner who disappeared while researching extraterrestrial life on the ocean planet Gliese 667Cc. Stationed at her partner's abandoned lab and equipped with an AI-controlled diving suit, Vas explores the depths in search of answers. In a disarming inversion of the typical human-AI relationship, you play the AI; Vas sets the objectives, often conferring with you, but it's your job to plot her course, gather samples, and run tests back in the lab.The setup allows Vas room to breathe as a character. As you guide her maritime expedition, she provides intermittent narration. She pauses to marvel at new sights, thinks out loud as she works through possible theories, and occasionally confides in you her doubts and fears. Conversation may be sparse, and your ability to respond is limited to the odd yes or no answer, yet it's perhaps all the more affecting because of it. The two of you are strangers at the outset, but Vas' wariness at revealing her innermost thoughts to an AI gradually washes away as she realises, despite your reticence, that you understand her predicament--in the process unearthing a memorably multi-layered character. It's a friendship forged in aquatic isolation, one quiet line at a time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A cult-classic game from the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube era is soon coming to modern consoles--yes, we're obviously talking about SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, a remake of the 2003 3D platformer based on the popular cartoon. THQ Nordic finally revealed a release date for the game, which is set to launch June 23 on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, so it won't be long before fans can return to the oceanic town of Bikini Bottom, reimagined with vibrant visuals.First revealed ahead of E3 2019, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated follows SpongeBob and his friends Patrick and Sandy as they work to save Bikini Bottom from the evil Plankton and his horde of robots.

Baba is You developer Arvi Teikari is hard at work on his next game, Environmental Station Alpha 2 (tentative title). But Teikari acknowledges that the sequel to Environmental Station Alpha, a 2015 metroidvania, isn't likely to achieve the same levels of success as Baba is You--a sentiment he's willing to accept."I've been trying to tell myself and remind myself that it's extremely unlikely that whatever I do next, or whatever I do ever in my career, will be as successful as Baba Is You," Teikari said in an interview with GamesIndustry.Biz. "Unless I figure out something as novel as Baba Is You, my future games will have to be okay not being as successful. And I would really like to be fine with that.""ESA 2 is a very traditional metroidvania game, not one that would get people saying 'Wow this is so innovative!'" Teikari added. "More like, 'Oh, this is another game in the genre that already has a lot of games, not very interesting but I might enjoy playing it.' He hopes that he can be happy with the critical reception to ESA 2, which he predicts will be less favorable than Baba is You seeing as ESA 2 isn't currently as innovative.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's a total of 80 fish to catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, from huge ocean-dwelling sharks to tiny tadpoles in your island's ponds. One of the rarest (and most profitable) of these fish is the coelacanth, an ancient fish once thought to be extinct in real life that is actually still alive and swimming. Luckily, you don't have to do anything extra-special to catch one; you just need to keep an eye on the weather.When To Catch A CoelacanthUnlike a lot of fish, the coelacanth is available year-round and at all times of the day. However, it only appears when it's raining. Weather in New Horizons isn't tied to real-life weather, so you just have to look out for a random rainy day as you play--it can even start or stop raining throughout an individual day.A coelacanth in Animal Crossing: New HorizonsIn previous Animal Crossing games, you could also catch a coelacanth when it was snowing. However, New Horizons' in-game Critterpedia only lists rain as a weather requirement, not snow. We will update this guide when we can confirm this.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The upcoming Title Update 9 for The Division 2 will implement a new reconfigure feature into the Exotics system. When the update goes live on April 21, you'll be able to raise low level Exotics to your current level as well as adjust Exotics at your current level.Under this new system, you'll be able to reconfigure Exotics up to the level of your crafting bench, capping at level 40. When reconfigured, an Exotic will get new attributes and corresponding stats to match its new power level. If an Exotic is already at your current level, it won't grow stronger--it will only gain new attributes. This means that choosing to reconfigure your already powerful Exotic could be a double-edged sword, possibly removing beneficial aspects of the equipment.In order to reconfigure an Exotic, you'll need its specific Reconfigure Blueprint, all of which require one Exotic Component alongside generic crafting materials. If you're short on Exotic Components, you can still deconstruct an Exotic you don't want in order to gain the crafting part. However, after Title Update 9 goes live, you'll only get one Exotic Component per deconstruction, not two. So you may want to start deconstructing your unwanted Exotics now.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Let's clear the air for a second: Season 3 of HBO's Westworld is actually pretty fun. Last Sunday, Episode 5, "Genre," treated us to what could rightfully be considered shark-jumping. Aaron Paul's Caleb was dosed with a drug that made his perception of reality shift between different movie genres, complete with bombastic soundtrack changes. There was a brief Trainspotting nod. For a moment, he thought he and Dolores were in a melodramatic romance. It was all very silly, but ultimately a good time.The problem, if it can be called a problem, is that Westworld is now a very, very different show than it was back in Season 1, when it was laser-focused on the deadly serious, gut-wrenching plight of hosts suffering at the hands of their human creators and tormenters. Westworld was a show about free will and humanity, one that used drama, humor, and violence to raise complex questions and suggest intelligent, nuanced answers. Now, it's a show where Flight of the Valkyrie plays Apocalypse Now-style as Aaron Paul blows up futuristic cars with a rocket launcher.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
