Promoted from our Community Blogs [This is a fun conversation starter from Destructoid readerNinjaSpeed. I can’t believe I waited untilKingdom Hearts IIIof all games to try the series for the first time, and I’m still working through that mental whiplash. -Jordan] Are there any beloved video game series that you’ve completely missed out on? Resident Evilwas one of those series for me. I noticed the positive buzz aroundResident Evil 7: Biohazard, but didn’t pay too much attention to it as someone who’d never touched a survival horror game before....

Banadium Chips are one of many resources you can find in-game inDonkey Kong Bananza.While a lot of the items like gold, Banadium Gems, and relics all have obvious uses, the Chips are one of the stranger items that don’t tell you how to use them despite being in abundance throughout each world. You can find them practically everywhere. When punching through terrain or breaking open boxes. They are as commonplace as you can hope for, and you’ll soon find yourself having more than you need....

Let a cat-bearded man interpret your world Have you heard of Occamsdex? It’s a little feature the Dtoid community team has been doing of late where we basically tie down fellow community manager Occams and get him to interpret the origins and behaviors ofPokémon,monsters, and other strange, screwed-up creatures one might find in a game’s bestiary. His replies are one of a kind. With the release ofNo Man’s Sky, it occurred to us that we could expand the feature to include planets, creatures, plants, and land masses discovered by players in that game....

With so much hype around this sequel to the impressive and somewhat surprising hit ofFallen Order, it has some wondering when exactly it takes place. And what has happened with Cal Kestis and the crew of the Mantis in the years since the original? When doesJedi Survivortake place?...

If you’re committed to the ruse and are walking freely around the Goblin Camp in Act 1 ofBaldur’s Gate 3, you’ll come across a guy named Abdirak. He spouts a lot of stuff about Loviatar and suggests you offer yourself up for some punishment. Should you face the wall and let him? Why the heck not? I mean, let’s not get personal here. I’m certain a subset of players went along with it because Abdirak is speaking a language they know....

Microscopes inFallout 76are a convenient source of valuable crafting materials.They also only weigh 0.88 pounds and are one of the best ways in the game to get your hands on Fiber Optics, a rare component used to craft laser weapons, among other things. They can be scrapped into: Locations with enough Microscopes worth making a trip for Several places inFallout 76have Microscopeslying around, though most of them only have one. There are eight locations where you will find at least two, making it more worth the trek and time investment....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3breaks a lot of new ground by allowing players to bring over their existingModern Warfare 2operator skins, weapons, and more. It’ll also share a ton withWarzone, likeMW2before it. However, one part of the puzzle that hasn’t been confirmed for the upcomingCoDtitle is DMZ. WillMW3have DMZ? Unfortunately, there is no confirmation on whether or not DMZ will return in the upcomingModern Warfare 3. There are potentially a couple of reasons for this situation....

Sisterly bonding BJ Blazkowicz is a world-renowned Nazi killer. Turns out, he’s not too bad at giving a pep talk either. Wolfenstein: Youngbloodis a day away from releasing on PC (and two days on consoles), and BJ has the right words to inspire his twin daughters. In the launch trailer, he reminds his offspring that the world can be an awful place but that they’re capable of overcoming all of it....

This game is gonna run wild on your SD card space brother! No, this isn’t a rib,WWE 2K18is finally making its way over to the Switch, despite being a little bit on the late side. The language used in the official press release implies it might be releasing at different dates though, dependent on region I’m assuming: “WWE 2K18will be available for Nintendo Switch this week as it rolls out worldwide in physical and digital formatsstarting December 6....

Get the acetone ready This is one of those collaborations I wouldn’t have seen coming a few years ago, but it’s 2022 now, and companies are learning more than ever that gamers do indeed enjoy traditionally feminine products. Look at the ubiquity ofpink gaming accessories, or the success ofColourPop’sAnimal Crossingcollection. I remember always seeing OPI’s newest collection out on display when I went to the nail salon as a kid (they’re kind of known for their collaborations), so it’s cool now to see one of my favorite brandscrossing over with Xbox....

Remember howAlbert Wesker wasthe exclusive GameStop pre-order bonus forLost Planet 2? Not anymore he’s not! Apparently, enough people complained about the exclusivity that Capcom decided to let everyone in on the fun. Presumably, he will now be included on the disc. If not, a small download on day one will be in order, I’d imagine. Thanks, mysterious entourage of Wesker-loving individuals! Of course, GameStop — being the power hungry retailer of doom and destruction that it is — required a replacement for the lost exclusive....

Almost as many sales as there are Pokemon In case you hadn’t heard,Pokémonis still a thing, abigthing, and it doesn’t seem to be losing any momentum at all.

That’s over ten times as many copies as the second most sold game this past week, which oh by the way happens to bePokémon Sun and Moon Double Pack, sitting at around 150,000 copies moved....
