Special Red Mutagens are incredibly useful for players in the Witcher 3. Each of these Mutagens will provide a +5% bonus to Attack power and a +5% for each Red Mutagen connected for a max of +20%. That’s a very nice bonus to damage output making them valuable to melee centric characters. There are a number of different monsters to hunt down to obtain these Mutagens. While there is no fundamental difference between Mutagens, the player could identify which monsters would be easier to grind to get Special Red Mutagen to drop....

The director of Netflix’s The Witcher series has confirmed that, after a pause on production caused by Coronavirus, he is back to work on season 2 of the popular show. He took to Twitter to share a photo of himself and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich practicing their social distancing while continuing to work on the show. The first season of The Witcher, based on the novels and video games of the same name, came out on Netflix back in December 2019, and was a big hit for the streaming service....

PlayStation 5 owners are currently biding their time until Housemarque’s Returnal comes out on April 30th. It is the first big PS5 exclusive of 2021. Coincidentally, April 30th is also the same day Metal Gear Solid 2’s finale takes place, only in 2009. So when Rose keeps asking Raiden what day tomorrow is, he can now say “is it the day Returnal comes out 11 years from now?”. Laughing and reminiscing with memes is the best way to pass the time until April 30th....

It’s one of the most popular games in recent memory. Overwatch is huge among online multiplayer gamers, and with such a wide range of characters and play styles, it’s not hard to see why. There is so much variety in combat styles, designs, personalities, and abilities of the characters that it’s hard to pick a favorite. And with new characters being added all the time, it gets even harder to choose with such a plethora of options; so why limit it to just one?...

If there is anyone who still can’t decide between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, may we suggest one of these five fictional video game presidents for a write-in vote? Election Day 2016 is finally here and the long rivalry between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will soon be coming to a close. This particular election has been especially brutal, with plenty of mudslinging on both sides and what seems like a new scandalous headline hitting the paper almost every day....

A psychic Twitch streamer riled up the Reddit lynch mob this week during a Tarot card reading when he seemed to suggest a viewer should consider leaving her husband. The streamer, Antphrodite, is a partnered Twitch streamer and only one of many psychics streaming in the Just Chatting category on Twitch. Antphrodite came under fire recently during a reading for one of his viewers. While flipping cards over he remarked that many of them were “reversed,” or upside-down, which he explains was cause for concern....

Twitch is updating its policy on attire and nudity in an effort to help streamers better understand what is and isn’t acceptable on broadcasts. While the past rules and guidelines were focused on which garments were appropriate, this updated policy puts a greater emphasis on coverage. The guidelines explain which parts of the body (on both males and females) can be visible and which cannot. As it stands, most of these rules were already assumed to be part of Twitch’s rules and so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise....

So far, it looks like Capcom is only interested in remaking the numbered entries in the Resident Evil series. Resident Evil Code: Veronica was originally released in 2000 on Dreamcast, putting it in-between Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Resident Evil Zero. Despite releasing a full five years before the fourth game in the series, that is set to get another re-release before Code: Veronica, as it comes to VR later this year....

While some developers are upping the ante in the ongoing battle against video game piracy, one publisher has actually balked at one of their more ambitious ideas and decided to abandon it entirely — at least for two of their upcoming titles. Though Ubisoft had initially claimed that both From Dust, the downloadable “god game” that recently hit Xbox Live and PC, and Driver: San Francisco would require a constant Internet connection on the PC, they have since changed their mind after what must have been some serious gamer backlash....

Many players were excited by the recent news that Ubisoft will be trying its hand at a Star Wars game. However, while players are looking forward to Ubisoft’s open-world Star Wars title, another Ubisoft title, Riders Republic, has been delayed. Riders Republic is one of several games announced during the Ubisoft Forward event in September 2020. A decidedly different looking game focused on extreme sports ranging from mountain biking and skiing to gliding, Riders Republic promises a different sort of MMO....

Kimmy overcame a lot in the Unbreakable Netflix series, emerging from a bunker hostage situation straight to the mean streets of NY. Despite the bleak premise, this show was an endless barrage of over the top bubbly feel-good humor. By the looks of things, the comedic rays of sunshine will continue to blare down on an ever-morbid plotline in Kimmy’s culminating- and now interactive - adventure. In Kimmy VS. The Reverend Kimmy Schmidt tackles an altogether new challenge; planning her wedding....

Cyberpunk 2077 is a hugely anticipated game and one The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red hopes will define the capabilities of RPGs on the next generation of hardware. The studio has discussed efforts to make every side quest feel like a full story and an in-depth character customization system that will let players be whoever they want in Night City. However, Cyberpunk 2077’s protagonist, V, could be the game’s biggest hurdle to overcome....

As players explore the harsh world of Valheim, they will obtain a variety of materials, tools, and more. Not every one of these items will be worth keeping indefinitely, though, and the game’s carry limit may leave some fans looking to delete their undesirables. Fortunately, it is possible to destroy items in Valheim, though it is not something that can be done by simply clicking a button from within the inventory menu....

Surviving in Plains biome in Valheim is partly preparation and partly luck. There are wild stampedes of lox, Fulings and their shamans and berserkers, and the dreaded Deathsquito. Armor Up for the Plains Considering how dangerous a trip to the plains can be, players want to be as prepared as possible. Whether or not players have defeated the Valheim boss Moder yet, they should still have a fully upgraded Wolf Armor set including the Drake helmet, any cape, Wolf Armor Chest, and Wolf Armor Legs....

With the successful closed-beta launch of VALORANT, players have been taking to the servers to show off their tactical FPS prowess. The core of the game lies in tense gun fights and the wide variety of weapons available might be overwhelming for those just coming in. Some guns stand out among others, though, and two of the best are in the rifle class; Phantom and Vandal. Both guns come at a pretty steep price point, making them a valuable weapon to take down opponents....

Riot Games has revealed more of the content that will be included as part of Valorant‘s long-awaited Act 2 update. As we previously discussed, this upcoming update is arguably highlighted by the release of a new agent named Killjoy. With their unique arsenal of gadgets and abilities, Killjoy may just become a favorite amongst disruptive players. We’ll see what kind of impact they ultimately have on the game when Killjoy is released on August 4....

Riot Games is planning to implement an improved detection system and harsher punishments for players who abandon or go AFK in VALORANT matches. These punishments will extend to match throwers, intentional feeders, and other disruptive players, according to the latest Ask VALORANT blog post. The post also addresses combatting smurfs and a potential feature to block other players. The first question asks how the VALORANT team plans to combat match abandoners and throwers....

Video games were originally seen as a medium that was used exclusively by children. It wasn’t until the 16-bit era that a rating board was even formed for games. It took the growing controversy over violence in games (like Mortal Kombat and Night Trap) for any sort of content control to be put into place. It took a lot longer for different kinds of riské content to be censored in games, simply because the technology didn’t exist to show it for a long time....

Warner Bros. has decided to put on ice two anticipated DC projects — Aquaman’s horror spinoff The Trench and New Gods film about godlike superhumans from Fourth World, Darkseid including. Projects may be revived later, but they are no longer developing now. DC Extended Universe without a doubt has its ups and downs. One day you made Suicide Squad, the other day you made… another Suicide Squad. One day you released Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the other day you put on ice several upcoming projects....

If you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t thought about 2011’s Captain America: Super Soldier in years (if you remember the game at all). While a decent enough action game in its own right, Super Soldier is perhaps best remembered as a remnant of a very brief time when MCU films were adapted into video games that were often released the same week as the movies. However, I recently heard an interesting rumor that I haven’t been able to shake....
