Baldur’s Gate 3 is so meaty, our Xbox cousins will need to play the Digital Deluxe on 4 disks wrapped in ‘little slips’ and stuffed into a single-disk box-
Baldur’s Gate 3 has some meaty patches with some equally-meaty space requirements—and while it might be easy to moan about having to corner off a bunch of room on our SSDs for patches, at least we aren’t playing on the Xbox version of the digital deluxe. It has four disks—twice as many as the PS5 version, and four times as many as on the PC version. According to a beleaguered director of publishing, it turns out that’s not really supposed to happen anymore.
After Larian’s Michael Douse confirmed that “the Xbox retail version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will indeed have four discs” on Twitter, he spoke with PC Gamer’s Ted Litchfield about the phenomena via email.
When Ted asks him whether the team felt a sense of pride about the whole thing&mda…
There’s already a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod that lets you multiclass on Explorer difficulty-
When you spin up a new game of Baldur’s Gate 3, it immediately asks you to choose between three difficulty options: Explorer, Balanced, and Tactician. The only description for the easiest mode, Explorer, is that it’s “a narrative experience placing story before combat.” It turns out that choosing Explorer doesn’t just make combat in Baldur’s Gate 3 easier—it also locks away multiclassing, which is a potentially confusing leveling option for first-time D&D players.
Two hours before Baldur’s Gate 3 even launched on Thursday, a modder had unlocked that limitation, making multiclassing available regardless of difficulty.
Multiclass Unlocker (Full Release Version) is the first BG3 mod to pop up on Nexusmods, and doesn’t have—or need—a very d…

There’s an Alex Jones game on Steam, and it’s just as much of an embarrassment as you’d expect-
InfoWars host Alex Jones now has a game on Steam—the same Alex Jones who fundraised for and attended the January 6 protests that led to the storming of the US Capitol building and who owes $1.5 billion to the families of murdered children over defamation.
It won’t surprise you to hear that Alex Jones: NWO Wars is not a good game, but its warmed over meme jokes have accrued over 400 positive reviews in just a few days. Reading them is awesome—they have the energy of those commenters on Reddit all trying to be the funniest guy in the room by saying the same thing, and AJ:NWOW seems to be cresting a wave of memetic popularity, yucking it up on the platform after a more limited release last November.
The best thing I can say about the Alex Jones game is…

Todd Howard says the Fallout show was so fanatical about detail that ‘We were sharing the files right from the games and they were 3D printing things’-
Say what you like about Bethesda (and I will), but it’s a studio that’s great at detail. Both Tamriel and the Wasteland overflow with gewgaws and knick-knacks that add life and colour to their respective worlds, alongside all the obligatory skeletons on toilets. Imagine, then, just how detailed the sets of the Fallout show had to be to surprise ol’ Todd Howard himself.
In a chat with Kinda Funny, Howard said that the experience of visiting the set for Amazon’s Fallout was “surreal,” noting that he “thought there’d be more movie magic, like, ‘Eh, they’re gonna fake a lot of stuff, a lot of it’s gonna be CG,'” before coming face-to-face with the show’s Vaults.
“You step in and they’ve built this two-story Vault, and the lights are all—they’re not fake light…
Darkest Dungeon 2 is getting a free new game mode later this year that will feature ‘some of the permanence and roster management’ of the original game-
Darkest Dungeon 2 is getting an all-new campaign game mode called Kingdoms that’s set to roll out as a free content update later this year. Revealed during today’s Triple-I Initiative showcase, the new mode challenges players to find and defeat a grave threat to the Kingdom, a realm made up of a network of safe haven inns.
Players in Kingdoms will journey across corrupted lands, fighting back against incursions of evil (careful not to step in any) and collecting resources that can be used to upgrade heroes and bolster the inns’ defenses through “extensive upgrade trees.”
Kingdoms, which can be played separately from Darkest Dungeons 2’s original Confessions mode, will include unique questlines and three new monster factions: the Coven, the Beastmen, and the Cr…
Voice actor who played Ada Wong in the Resident Evil 4 remake wipes her Instagram after harassment-
Resident Evil’s recurring corporate spy Ada Wong has been portrayed by multiple voice actors over the years, and in the recent RE4 remake was played by Lily Gao, who previously had a cameo as Ada in the live-action movie Welcome to Raccoon City. Her performance in RE4 hasn’t been well-received by fans, who filled her Instagram comments with insults. Gao disabled comments on her account, and then either hid or deleted all of her posts except one.
You can see screenshots of some of those over-the-top comments on Twitter, tantrums in text form like, “You ruined the remake, i feel like i just wasted my money” and “Your voice acting was horrible in the re4remake… it sounded super stiff and there was nothing seductive about it? It didnt fit at all omfg i hope they dont hire you a…
Watching this explosive 5-minute video of Crysis Remastered is a great reminder of how much PC gaming needs Crysis 4-
Dodging gunfire, my invisibility cloak flickering, I grab the enemy soldier by the neck and, utilizing my Nanosuit’s incredible strength, I THROW HIM THROUGH THE ROOF OF A BUILDING, sending wooden beams and metal panels flying.
That was cool AF, but I don’t have time to admire my handy work (get it!), as the immense racket caused by the collapsing structure has alerted the soldier’s friends, one of which fires off a flare to call in reinforcements. He dies quickly, shot through the head with my SCAR rifle, though, so does the gunner on a patrol boat that approaches from across the bay.
Turning to the military jeep that’s just arrived loaded with more soldiers, I activate my Nanosuit’s armor mode and storm the vehicle head-on, the suit absorbing plenty of damage. Just as the …
