It does nothing new, but it seems competent in what it does from the demo. Pre-ordered it along with Xeno X and MonHun Wilds in a Buy 2 get 1 deal, can't wait for next week (wonder if I can finish Shadows before it comes out)2CL4MarsMemberNov 9, 20182,352My biggest question is the environment variety, all we've seen are mountains covered in snow and a demonic ish realm. The digital artbook is showing a city but will we actually visit it.I dunno one of the best parts of From's games and I would say should be a priority for souls like is interesting locations and From has same great looking art even when it's tech fails.Izanagi89"This guy are sick" and Corrupted by VengeanceMemberOct 27, 201718,345Anyone know when the review embargo ends?OP OPJawmuncherCrisis DinoModeratorOct 25, 201744,006Ibis IslandIzanagi89 said:Anyone know when the review embargo ends?Click to expand...Click to shrink...I think it'll be on the 24th when the Early Access starts.

The gameplay managed to evolve significantly from chapter 1 to chapter 3 in the beta test so I have to wonder whether it continues that trend or plateaus soon after that.Gunny T HighwayUnshakable Resolve - One Winged SlayerMemberOct 27, 201719,233CanadaThe demo was pretty good, but this really feels like a game I would rather wait for a good sale.Xshade90MemberNov 2, 20171,374Gunny T Highway said:The demo was pretty good, but this really feels like a game I would rather wait for a good sale.Click to expand...Click to shrink...Why?

He was hard but he didn't take me that long. As Stamina (Damage and Regen) seems like the most important part of this game above everything else (While a lot of other souls like you can kinda of ignore it).IMO, the game at least from the demo seems to prioritize True Guards and the damage you can do to the Stamina Bar. Will not be surprised if builds going that route have an easier time. Also, it feels like Dual Wield will be the "easiest" playstyle for most.

The new animated Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix features an extensive cast of demons and demon hunters who are constantly fighting each other with over-the-top weapons, incredible powers, and supernatural abilities. This shouldnt be much of a surprise, seeing as its a loose adaptation of Capcoms classic hack-and-slash game franchise, which is famous for its many powerful characters.

The best CR-56 AMAX loadout in Black Ops 6 may come as a surprise given that this is another simple automatic assault rifle or at least, thats what it seems like on the face of it. Its another familiar face returning to the series from both Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone, joining season 3 as Verdansk makes its way back to the battle royale mode.However, while this gun is a strong contender for one of the best guns in Black Ops 6 with a more traditional setup, the attachments would be pretty much identical to our recommended Kilo 141 loadout. So for a little more variety, were opting for one of the CR-56 AMAXs only unique attachments, which converts it into a semi-automatic assault rifle, but also increases the damage considerably.Heres our recommendation for the best CR-56 AMAX loadout in Black Ops 6, alongside the best class to use with it and how to unlock the gun in the first place.How to unlock the CR-56 AMAX in Black Ops 6To unlock the CR-56 AMAX in Black Ops 6 Season 3, you must complete page six of the battle pass. Since each page has seven rewards, this means you must spend a total of 42 battle pass tokens to get your hands on the CR-56 AMAX, but the silver lining is that along the way, youll also unlock the HDR sniper rifle at the end of page three.Best CR-56 AMAX loadout in Black Ops 6Heres the best CR-56 loadout in Black Ops 6:Optic: Willis 3XMuzzle: Ported CompensatorBarrel: Long BarrelUnderbarrel: Vertical ForegripMagazine: M-67 10-R MagsRear Grip: Quickdraw GripStock: Combat StockFire Mods: Recoil SpringsThe core attachment to this CR-56 AMAX build is the M-67 10-R Magazine, because this increases your weapon damage, aim down sight speed, and reload speed, albeit in exchange for a hit to the recoil control. However, it also makes the gun fire exclusively in semi-auto mode, which means it basically becomes a DMR. To manage this, you need eight attachments, so use the Gunfighter wildcard.As a result, the CR-56 AMAX goes from being a weapon suited to short to mid-range engagements to one that excels at longer distances, though youll need to slow down your playstyle. It may be a stretch to call this loadout the outright best for the gun, but its certainly a contender and it offers a fresher way to play rather than just mimicking a number of the other top assault rifles such as the XM4 and Krig C.To make this build work, youll want a decent optical sight. Our favourite is the Willis 3X, but you may also have luck with the Hawker Hybrid due to its ability to toggle an iron sight view when needed. That, combined with the Long Barrel for increased damage, means youll be much more effective at range.Go for the Ported Compensator muzzle attachment, thanks to its first shot recoil control buff, because without it, the first shot can veer off to the side afterward. The Vertical Foregrip helps with the recoil even more (not to mention the Recoil Springs fire mod). Finally, the Quickdraw Grip lets you aim down the sights quicker which is handy with a 3X zoom that naturally has a slower ADS time and the Combat Stock offers flinch resistance, so you can stay on target when youre dodging return fire.Best CR-56 AMAX class in Black Ops 6Heres the best class to use alongside the CR-56 AMAX in Black Ops 6:Pistol: GrekhovaMelee: KatanasTactical: FlashbangLethal: Blast TrapField Upgrade: NeurogasPerk 1: NinjaPerk 2: Forward IntelPerk 3: Cold-BloodedSpecialty: ReconWildcard: GunfighterSince this loadout is a little more unorthodox than your standard assault rifle, weve adapted the class to match. Firstly though, it uses the often-recommended Grekhova due to its ability to finish off enemies at close range, alongside the Katanas, which are the best melee weapon in the game right now.The Flashbang is always a reliable tactical option, but then opt for the Blast Trap in the lethal spot because youre likely to be posted up somewhere or defending an area, so this will come in handy taking out or at least distracting any enemies that try to get behind you. The same goes for the Neurogas field upgrade, because youll be able to turn around and finish them off.Weve opted for the blue perks thanks to the Recon specialty, which lets you see enemies through walls for a short while after respawning, plus your HUD will flash when an enemy is outside of your view. Ninja completely muffles your footsteps, so while you wont be moving around too much with this style of play, it will stop enemies from hearing you when you do.Forward Intel shows you the direction enemies are traveling when revealed with a UAV, so you can stop foes from coming up behind you more effectively, and Cold-Blooded means enemy AI targeting and thermal optics cant target you. Theres nothing worse than being taken out by an enemy AI scorestreak when youre on a streak yourself.Finally, go for Gunfighter as the wildcard due, of course, to the three extra attachments for your primary weapon, but if you want to stick with just five, go for Perk Greed here and pick either Flak Jacket or Tac Mask to defend you from incoming throwables.

Their second generation earbuds brought some great upgrades, and make them a great value for any Pixel user (although they're compatible with any Android and have limited iOS support). Right now, you can get the Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $179 (originally $229), matching the lowest price they've ever been according to price-tracking tools. Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Brand:Google, Color: Hazel, Ear Placement:In Ear, Noise Control: Active Noise Cancellation $259.00 at Amazon Get Deal Get Deal $259.00 at Amazon The list price for the new Pixel Buds Pro 2 is $29 more than the original Pixel Buds Pro, which have since dropped to $111. Some of the improvements Google has made to the new earbuds to justify the price include a new twisting mechanism that secures to the ear better for more intense workouts, better active noise-cancelling (ANC) thanks to the more snug fit, better audio processing with the new Tensor A1 chip, longer battery life of about eight hours with ANC on and 31 hours from the charging case, and the inclusion og Gemini Live, Android's AI voice assistant. Some things that were not improved this time around: the drivers, wireless charging, and the equalizer options are all the same as the previous generation. The earbuds have an IP54 rating for water resistance and the charging case is also water resistant, with an IPX4 rating. With a full charge, you can expect eight hours of continuous listening with ANC on (12 hours with ANC off) plus an additional 22 hours (36 hours with ANC off) from the charging case. As CNET's review explains, the audio and ANC quality the earbuds will offer you depends on how good of a snug fit you'll get from them. If you're looking for the latest pair of ANC Pixel earbuds with Gemini virtual AI assistant, a smaller design, better ANC, audio and mic quality, these are a good option at this price.

Nintendo has delayed US Switch 2 pre-orders in response to the new set of tariffs announced by President Donald Trump earlier this week, as first reported by Polygon. Following Nintendo's announcement of the console on Wednesday, pre-orders in the United States were slated to open on April 9. They're now delayed indefinitely."Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," the company told Engadget. "Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."As mentioned earlier, Nintendo officially announced the Switch 2 on April 2. Hours later, the Trump administration said it would impose a sweeping set of new tariffs targeted against a broad swath of countries, including Japan, China and Vietnam. Products from the latter two countries, where Nintendo manufactures much of its hardware, will be subject to import duties of 54 percent and 46 percent, respectively.In the US, Nintendo said the Switch 2 would cost $450. As Polygon notes, sticker shock was already dominating the conversation around Nintendo's new handheld, with many fans begging the company to "drop the price!" of console during its recent livestreams. It's unclear what could happen following Nintendo's assessment of the situation, but one possibility is that the company could allocate less stock for the US market.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-delays-switch-2-us-pre-orders-following-trump-tariffs-150747208.html?src=rss
