Typhon Logs are historical records produced by famed Vault Hunter Typhon Deleon in Borderlands 3. They act as an unofficial record of the man’s experiences and events occurring around the galaxy during his exploits. The logs found in the Meridian Metroplex are particularly interesting as they give greater insight into the man and the First Vault that was ever found. Here are some of the more interesting things players can learn from these particular logs....

The Borderlands franchise is not known for its seriousness or dedication to a cohesive narrative. The main appeal of Borderlands is the game’s out-of-this-world characters, constant crude and off-color humor, and satisfying combat mechanics that feel different from any other looter-shooter. It’s a long-lasting franchise that has had some hiccups in the past (looking at you, Pre-Sequel) but is still celebrated as one of the most unique shooters ever made....

The conclusion of the Space-Laster Tag mission will lead to one of the more unique boss fights in Borderlands 3, Katagawa Ball. This ominous boss lurks in Skywell-27 on Promethea, and it’s the only thing standing in the way between you and the second piece of the Promethean Vault Key at the end of the mission. However, the Maliwan menace will certainly make you earn it. While the spherical bot may not look too intimidating, it can be deceptively tough with its devastating missiles, area-of-effect damage, and its ability to swiftly float around....

Borderlands 3 is getting a next-gen update this November. Gearbox’s famous looter-shooter will land on Xbox Series X/S on November 10, while PlayStation 5 owners will see it on either November 12 or 19 – depending on your region. The next-gen version of Borderlands 3 offers more than just a graphical overhaul. You’ll be able to play it in 4K at 60fps on both the Series X and PlayStation 5, but you’ll also get a brand new four play local co-op mode....

Vanguard is one of the first job classes you’ll unlock in Bravely Default 2 as it is received immediately after the first asterisk fight. This is your basic tank class for much of the early game, and you’re not going to encounter another on its level until the much later Shieldmaster class a few chapters later. As a result, you’re going to get quite comfortable with a Vanguard in your team, meaning it’ll be quite a high level compared to your other jobs and a great alternative to even the newer ones you unlock....

The Hyrule Castle in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a daunting and massive labyrinth and the setting for Link’s final showdown with Calamity Ganon. This once-glorious citadel, now beyond ruin and teeming with various Guardian types, demands the player’s full focus to reach the topmost chamber where Princess Zelda waits. Players are often eager to reach the conclusion of the game’s story, so they become tempted to rush straight to the castle’s throne....

Few FPS titles have shaped the multiplayer landscape as much as Call of Duty. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare brilliantly combined progression systems with adrenaline-fueled gunfights to create an addictive and fun experience. Every game since has iterated on this system, adding new perks and guns to earn. Perks are one of the most important things players can use, providing unique benefits during gameplay such as more damage or movement speed....

Call of Duty: Cold War is currently going through some growing pains. Such a process isn’t unusual for a newly released multiplayer title, but it’s still jarring for some nonetheless. As such, some players have taken to social media to point out elements about the game that have frustrated them since they started playing, such as overpowered Cold War weapons, unusually slow weapon progression, and general bugs. Call of Duty: Cold War developer Treyarch has recently responded to fan criticism, stating it hears it and plans to change things....

“Season 4 Reloaded” is the name developer Infinity Ward is giving the latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone; a refresher introducing a ton of new content certain to shake up gameplay across the board. The patch notes are extensive (and shown in their entirety below), with a heavier focus on Warzone, but with some content sprinkled in for Modern Warfare for good measure. As has become the norm with Call of Duty updates, Season 4 Reloaded is a hefty update, leaving players to clear more hard drive space for the game....

Call of Duty: Warzone has now reached astronomical success. According to a recent press release detailing the last 12 months for Activision and Call of Duty, it was revealed that the shooter franchise has reached all-time highs. Call of Duty: Warzone, specifically, has surpassed 85 million players. From the jump, Call of Duty’s massive battle royale found huge success, as Warzone garnered 30 million players in just its first few weeks....

If you’ve played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla from start to finish, you’ll likely already know that the ending is… intriguing. Most of the people I’ve spoken to about it have agreed with me that it was very well-executed and completely earned, although I’m sure there are some folks out there who were less impressed with it. Regardless, I was a huge fan of this particular denouement - specifically what it might mean for the future of the series....

Ever since Persona 4 Golden released on PC, fans of the series have been actively enjoying the game. Whether they are returning to the game or experiencing it for the first time, the PC version of Persona 4 Golden has seen a great deal of success. Within the last several weeks especially, Atlus has begun to take note of the attention the PC port has received. While the Persona series has existed since the late 90s, its presence was largely limited to PlayStation consoles and hardware....

This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 20 “Why? Because it’s fun…” Attack on Titan is an extremely fantastical series that features man-eating monsters, unfathomable special abilities, and absolutely dazzling weaponry. It’s a series that always boils down to the people, not the monsters, but it still exists in this heightened take on reality. Attack on Titan contains outlandish sci-fi storylines, but the new information that all of this started over ingrained racism, a war for oil, and a recycling of power between feuding forces is certainly a level of reality that I wouldn’t have expected to enter the series....

These Attack on Titan reviews contain spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 14: Savagery “You know what I hate the most in the world? People who aren’t free. They’re no more than cattle.” ”I wanted to talk with you guys…” Those were the ominous words that Eren shared with his old comrades and new enemies at the end of Attack on Titan’s previous episode. This anime regularly features an exceptional amount of destruction courtesy of deadly powers and brutal battles, but this season’s development of Eren Jaeger is so substantial that seven words can be even more terrifying than dozens of strikes....

I wanted to love this game. I really did, because Balan Wonderworld is a jazz-clad call back to the classics with oodles of Spyro and Mario inspirations, a charming JRPG aesthetic, and a wealth of beautiful set-pieces. However, it’s a janky mess that feels stiff and awkward. It’s a step back in almost every way for platformers, and when it touts its PS5 exclusive bells and whistles, that’s a hefty contradiction....

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the talk of the town at the moment, what with yesterday - October 6 -marking the very first day of the game’s Early Access phase. So far, things are going more than swimmingly, it seems. It also looks like the team at Larian really didn’t expect to see the sheer level of traction their game is getting. “Now what are we going to do?” Vincke jokingly despairs....

Last week, DICE and Electronic Arts officially revealed Battlefield V with an action-packed trailer that blended cinematics with in-engine footage. While many fans responded positively to the trailer, it seems even more dislike it, with it currently having 287,000 dislikes on YouTube compared to 266,000 likes. Judging by the YouTube comments, the negative reaction to Battlefield V’s trailer seems to mainly stem from the inclusion of a female soldier. Many fans are criticizing the game as not being historically accurate because of the female soldier, though it’s worth pointing out that most Battlefield games haven’t been historically accurate for other reasons and have avoided similar criticism....

Apex Legends is a famous battle royale game. It consists of a wide range of weapons and boasts a comprehensive gun collection. With the right skills and appropriate use, these weapons can be extremely dangerous. And fairly recently, Season 5 of the game is arrived on the scene. Unfortunately, the new Season doesn’t feature any new weapons. However, it has updated versions. When launching the new season, Respawn tweaked some values and changed some spawns around, thus completely revitalizing the weapon meta....

Pete Hines, Bethesda’s Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing, suggests that one famous director could make a The Elder Scrolls movie a real possibility. Video game movies have been a hot topic over the past few months. Ever since the success of the Warcraft film that released earlier this year, gamers and cinephiles alike have debated the viability of video games making the leap from television screens to silver ones....
