Battlefront II will not have a season pass

Glory to the First Order One of the worst things about 2015’sStar Wars Battlefrontwas that the game shipped with a season pass while being light on content. It would be one thing if the game packed a wallop and had players wanting to return, but gating off a bunch of maps behind a $50 pass and releasing a gimped product is just lame. It’s no wonder the general consensus of the first game is a resounding “meh”....

Can you build a Coffeelock in Baldur’s Gate 3?

The Coffelock might be the most infamous build inDungeons & Dragons5e because it immediately breaks the entire game by granting a player access to an infinite amount of spell slots. A Coffeelock build takes advantage of some likely unintended interactions betweenSorcerer and Warlock class features. Sorcerers can convert spell slots into Sorcery Points and then use those points to create smaller, temporary spell slots that disappear during a long rest. Warlocks get a handful of spell slots that refill on every short rest, and the Aspect of the Moon Eldritch Invocation essentially lets them permanently replace a long rest with four short rests....

Catch phrase! Reinhardt’s Overwatch hammer is just as mighty in real life

LEGO As I said in my review, one of my favorite parts ofOverwatchis not just the character designs, but the designs in general. The weapons are incredibly detailed, and Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer has already garnered quite the fanbase. The folks over at ZaziNombies LEGO Creations took the liberty of creating the thing, and man does it look daunting. They call it the “heaviest weapon they’ve ever built,” weighing in at “over 15 pounds” and consisting of 4,500 thousand bricks....

David Cage: games must innovate or ‘die’

Self-proclaimed videogame auteur David Cage has urged the videogame industry to innovate of face certain death. “… This industry will die if it doesn’t try more to be innovative and to come up with new ideas and to talk a bit more — not necessarily serious, but deeper things at some point,” he toldGI.biz. “It’s great that you can shoot at monsters, and that’s great and it will always be there and it will always be successful, but at the same time, what about giving the choice to people?...

Dutch court revokes EA’s €10 million FIFA FUT loot box fine

FUT decreed not ‘an isolated game’ In a surprising bit of legal news, a Dutch court has overturned the €10 million fine handed down to Electronic Arts over its popular loot box mechanic FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT). The Dutch Administrative Jurisdiction Division has upheld the publisher’s appeal, effectively overruling the decision handed down by The Court of The Hague in 2020. The Hague had previously decreed that EA broke Dutch gambling laws via the sale of in-game FUT packs, fining theFIFApublisher a hefty €500,000 for each week it continued to sell the digital add-ons, with a maximum penalty fixed at €10 million....
