Survivor Basically Has A Matrix Mode

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is out in a few short days and it’s promising some accessibility options that sound incredibly helpful for those looking to take their time acclimating to the game’s potential challenges. One standout feature is the option to slow combat and traversal down so you can take these challenges on at your own pace.Blade’s Book Club Is The Best Thing About Marvel’s Midnight SunsWhen it was released back in 2019, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was one hell of a thirst quencher after a damn near drought of single player Star Wars games. Set in the gap between the prequels and original Star Wars films, players assumed the role of Cal Kestis, a Jedi Padawan caught in the midst of galactic political upheaval.

New Star Wars Book Expands Fallen Order’s Saltiest Cutscene

In the recently released book, Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, Cal Kestis and his crew are together again, completing missions and having fun fighting the Empire. But one small moment early on in the book reveals that your alien pilot, Greez, didn’t put all that salt on his food by accident. Instead, it seems like he or his species are just really into our most abundant condiment. In EA and Respawn’s 2019 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, we are introduced to former Jedi Cal and his crew of misfits, which includes a short and gruff alien named Greez. He’s the crew’s pilot and also, from time to time, acts as the ship’s chef. And in one infamous cutscene—while former Jedi Cal has an intense discussion with Jedi Master Cere—Greez can be seen pouring salt onto his meal for a solid minute. This una...

Microsoft Reportedly Made An AI That Plays Minecraft For You

The Witcher 3’s Next-Gen Vaginas Were A Mistake, Devs Say

I know Yen, I’m calling BS, too.Image: CDPR / KotakuThis post contains NSFW references, proceed at your own risk.Honey, hurry, they’re going to nerf The Witcher 3 vaginas.Kotaku posted a story yesterday pointing out that The Witcher 3 next-gen update added realistic vaginas, and suggesting that these kitties were one of the many fan-made mods CDPR added to the updated game. In the original Witcher 3, women who were shown in full-frontal nudity had no visible genitals, just a sort of smoothed-over, Barbie doll area. In the next-gen update, which released for free this past December, it seems that the crones from Crookback Bog and the bruxas (the only women NPCs that regularly do full-frontal without any obscuring shots or panties) have landing strip-styled pubic hair and visible labia.
