Cities- Skylines 2 devs are investigating faster patches and a fix for the ‘huge’ packs of abandoned feral dogs-

Cities: Skylines 2 released in a less than ideal state, and most of the talk around the game has centred around how Colossal Order intends to fix various issues with the game’s performance. Now, the studio has resumed its weekly “CO Word of the Week” feature—last sighted in 2018—to keep players updated on its progress. Specifically, at least for the first post, its progress on garbage patches and roaming gangs of stray dogs. What’s going on over there, you guys?

Written by Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen, today’s Word of the Week focuses on the game’s launch, which “was overshadowed by technical issues which caused disappointment, and rightfully so.” 

Those issues—which were bad enough for the devs to warn players about before release—mani…

Baldur’s Gate 3 player beats the game in Honour Mode by exclusively casting one of the worst spells in D&D 2,469 times-

Dungeons and Dragons fans could argue forever about which spell is the worst in the game, but it’s generally agreed that True Strike is a contender. The cantrip grants the caster an advantage on their next attack roll, meaning you sacrifice your current turn for a better chance of hitting your target in the following round. 

In theory, it poses an interesting tactical quandary. In practice, there are just too many alternative uses for a turn to make casting True Strike worthwhile. You could cast it with a bonus action via something like the Sorcerer’s quickened spell, but even then you’d be better off casting almost anything else.In other words, True Strike is practically useless, which made it inevitable that some clever clogs would try to complete Baldur’s Gate 3 with it.

Final Fantasy 14 director doesn’t have any plans to change ‘the structure’ of Dawntrail’s patches, but its Bozja-like field exploration zone ‘will be larger in scale than the content we’ve had in the past’-

The reception to the post-Endwalker patch cycle in Final Fantasy 14 has been decidedly tepid. Aside from a mixed reaction to the main story, the community has been split in opinion over new additions like Island Sanctuary and Variant Dungeons, with complaints around a lack of midcore content and meaningful rewards permeating discussion. I offered my own feelings on where things were at last year, and fellow Eorzea dweller Harvey Randall dove into the state of Final Fantasy 14 earlier this year.

It’s drummed up thoughts around whether the current post-expansion patch structure—which has largely remained the same across the last decade—needs to change. Some are pretty down with the comfort of knowing what’s coming and when, while I’ve seen murmurings over the last couple…

Stealthy goblin murder sim Styx- Shards of Darkness is free on GOG-

The holidays aren’t quite here yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s too soon to score some free stuff. Styx: Shards of Darkness, the game that “puts the ‘gob’ into goblin” (I have no idea what that means) is free to keep until November 24 as part of GOG’s big Black Friday sale.

Styx: Shards of Darkness is a 2017 stealth-action game about a cynical goblin assassin murdering his way across a highly-vertical fantasy realm, the second in a series that began in 2014. It’s quite good: We called it “a satisfying stealth experience” in our 79% review, which kicks off with this absolute banger of an opening:

“Apparently the jump button in Shards of Darkness isn’t located between my ass cheeks. I know this because its irascible and stunted protagonist—no, antagonist—S…

Tencent boss worried that in the face of ‘significant challenges’ and competition it has ‘achieved nothing’-

The behemoth that is Tencent is one of the most dominant players in the game industry, but CEO and co-founder Pony Ma recently acknowledged that the competition is catching up and that recent game launches haven’t lived up to expectations.

Chinese outlet Jiemian (via Reuters) reports that Ma spoke about the threat from other Chinese gaming companies, which, like miHoYo and its global hits Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, have seen greater success than Tencent’s offerings. 

Speaking during Tencent’s annual meeting on Monday, Ma told attendees “gaming is our flagship business,” but that it had “faced significant challenges” over the last year. “We have found ourselves at a loss,” he added, “as our competitors continue to produce new products”. This has resulted in Ten…
