From blazing-fast SSDs to innovative PC cases, Corsair showed some fantastic offerings at the Computex event. Corsair Unveils PCI-E 5.0 SSDs, High-Performance RAM, Refreshed PSU Lineup, Hydro X Cooling Solutions, Cases, and New Peripherals Corsair had some really creative products for the consumer PC segment at Computex. The company not only showcased newer lineups for components and peripherals but also brought some convenient stuff that we hadn't ever seen before. 2 of 9 Starting with the PC components, Corsair introduced new PCI-E 5.0 and external SSDs. These include the MP600 Elite and MP600 PRO LPX for PS5, MP700 PRO and MP700 Elite for high-performance PCs, MP600 Mini and MP600 Micro for compact systems, and EX400U and EX100U external SSDs. 2 of 9 We also saw newer DDR5 memories in the Vengeance lineup alongside WS DDR5 RDIMM and SODIMM DDR5 for laptops. The Corsair memory lineup also received a refreshed Dominator Titanium series, new CUDIMM, and some RGB DDR5 memories. Corsair also showcased its Custom LAB DDR5 editions with gorgeous skins. 2 of 9 Corsair has also upgraded its PSU lineup by introducing the popular RM series, budget CX series, and high-performance HX series. These include 650W to 1500W power supply units for PC builds, and some of them are equipped with dual 12V-2x6 connectors for the latest high-end GPUs. 2 of 9 Coming to the PC cases, there are some really innovative options, like the FRAME 4500X, which comes with a panoramic front and side glass panel, high customizations, and dual 360mm radiator support; the AIR 5400 mid-tower chassis, which focuses on high airflow and has a triple chamber design, and the FRAME 50000 chassis that boasts a minimalistic design with spacious interior and huge vents for airflow. However, the Open Frame Concept was an excellent solution for building a quick test bench, which offers vertical and horizontal orientations, a removable PSU shroud, and a small footprint that does everything well without needing too much space. 2 of 9 The FRAME 40000 Prototype was one of the most notable innovations by Corsair, which brought swappable frame parts. The case introduces the "Powerboard" concept that replaces the regular motherboard plate inside the case and helps power the whole PC through multiple available connectors for all kinds of components. It's like an alternative to motherboards with connectors at the back, but you will have a lot of connectors to power fans and stuff, which can come in handy. 2 of 9 Corsair also introduced its new Hydro X lineup, featuring the XC7 RGB Elite and Elite LCD CPU blocks, XD6 RGB Elite and Elite LCD water reservoirs/pumps, and XG5 RGB SO-series GPU water block. It also introduced new 360mm Nautilus and 420mm Titan AIOs for high-performance cooling. 2 of 9 Coming to the peripherals section, Corsair unveiled the Web Hub and highly customizable MAKR 75 DIY keyboard for gamers. The headset lineup received several new Virtuoso series, VOID series, and HS series headsets for high-fidelity sound quality. Deal of the Day

In the new version 2.0.0 you can notice the number 2 at the very beginning, which means that those who played the old version will have to play again. But this is not bad at all, because now the game does not cause frustration! And that's the most important thing! Don't believe me? Try it yourself (On Google Play or Itch). Gameplay has been added with additional mechanics so that from now on it will be unfair to think that the level passed in the old version in 5 minutes will be fair for the new version. After all, in the new version at least, the ammo is no longer infinite. However, now the gun can still be infinitely charged with the help of special terminals, which we, quickly thinking, decided to visualize as electric balls... Why not? And now you have to shoot not only enemies, but also various obstacles like dry bushes, boxes with possible first aid kits, weights or keys. So, it is better to spend ammo wisely. What are these keys, you ask? Well, they are keys to terminals that can control force fields that will sometimes need to be switched. The fields will also be switched by special sensors. And actually, they can switch more than just force fields. In general, it's long to tell, so it's easier for you to see once by downloading the game. We have also added text logs, which we hope will be fun for you to read. But besides the fact that they are full of humor, from them you will be able to find out what happened on this planet. Challenge yourself, turn on your deduction and try to predict the true cause of the incident from the storylines you can read in the logs of different scientists... Bet you can't guess? ;) By the way! Our musician composed two additional soundtracks, which emphasized the protagonist's descent underground especially well. And the most important addition, dictated by the very nature of the game - on the inventory screen there are hints about the weights already found, and those that need to be matched to open the next door. The found weights are sorted in ascending order, and it's not for nothing! Finding the right values is not always an easy task, so it will definitely not be a spoiler if I tell you the algorithm of their selection. On the contrary, this knowledge will help you play the game with even more joy! For example, level 4. You need to put 36 on the plate: * All found shipments in descending order:30, 26, 18, 14, 11, 9, 9, 5* We count by iteration:1) 36 (target weight) - 30 (heaviest) = 6. Therefore, we can't use the minimum nearest weight 5. So weight 30 is discarded.2) 36 - 26 = 10... Again, the ones under 10 (9, 9 and 5) won't fit in any way. So we're throwing out 26.3) 36 - 18 = 18...- resulting 18 - 14 = 4 (14 doesn't fit)- 18 - 11 = 7 (11 doesn't fit)- 18 - 9 = 9 (that just leaves the other 9).Therefore, we put on the plate 18 + 9 + 9 = 36.Just arithmetic without multiplication and division. I'm sure you'll quickly master it with this approach. It sounds more complicated than it really is. And one more hint! To avoid running around in circles for the right weights, just move them all to one place. But I think you would have figured out this management without me ;) Well. The game probably won't undergo any more of these major game-changing additions. So the next step we see is just to finish its development. In the meantime, you can download episode 1 (or Itch) and give it a try.

When you finally get to him, the Performer will speak in wistful poetic prose about his homeland, playing lovely shamisen music in a moonlit courtyard, with a gentle lilt in his voice. And no amount of beautiful shamisen playing or poetic turns of phrase changes the fact that the Fox Onryo hired pirates to traffick human beings to the slave trade with the Portuguese—and that motherfucker needs to die screaming. You’re damn right we’re making that happen, let’s go to work.

However, you don’t get to choose who’s going after who on this, which means while she’s usually a stealth-focused character at this stage of the game, Naoe’s hand-to-hand weapons better be top notch. Give her the best Katana you can get your hands on, and if she doesn’t have it already, grab any of her perks where a perfect dodge makes enemies vulnerable. Don’t even bother with Vault if you haven’t already; you won’t get a chance to use it. As for Yasuke, just make sure to run with a Katana, not a Naginata for this. You will need speed.Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuWhen the mission starts, you get a bit more backstory explaining how Takeda Motoaki/the Fox is just taking out his revenge on the Niwa for Oda Nobunaga stealing his land. That seems pitiable enough until you remember, yet again, that revenge involved taking slaves, cramming them in houses by the sea waiting for their Portuguese bagmen to show up, killing the ones they don’t like. After it’s nightfall, and our heroes track down the lead pirate Samemaru, Yasuke is all gas, no brakes. You don’t even get a character choice for this mission. The second you get control, you’re playing as Yasuke. Chase down Samemaru through the streets until he leads you into an open clearing, at which point he’ll take his first swipe at you. Samemaru’s actually no pushover. He has a couple of fairly normal strikes you can parry and counter like normal, but after about three or four hits, he’ll auto-counter with an unblockable. Mostly, he has just a slew of odd and fast attacks that do more damage than you might think. He’s also pretty generous about tossing kunai if he’s more than six feet away from you, which tends to come after an unblockable kick attack. Pick your spots carefully with this guy, batter him with your RT/R2 abilities whenever possible. But this guy will require work. Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuYasuke will try to interrogate him about the slave trade he’s running, which is going well until he drops a name: Duarte. You can probably tell where that’s going before the cutscene’s over, but before we can get our Django on, we’ve still got a Fox to deal with. Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuControl will switch over to Naoe, who starts out on a rooftop. However, you’re actually heading down to the streets for this bit. There’s two objective markers to investigate in Eagle Vision, but you’re actually gonna go to your map. If you’ve done any walking around town whatsoever here, you’ll see the Samurai Yashiki district as its own white marker on the map. Use Y/Triangle to mark it, and head straight over to that marker. You may wanna try climbing walls to go there directly as there’s ronin wandering the streets you don’t want to tango with at the moment. Once you arrive, you’ll see a group of folks praying at a shrine for Takeda Motoaki. When they’re done, follow her home. Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuNaoe will remark that the estate with the diamond flags belongs to Takeda. When the woman stops, head through the archway straight ahead. You’ll be told to follow the sound of the shamisen. Look right, and focus in to see the soundwaves coming from the nearby house. Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuHead over there. The door on the right leads to the room with details about the pirates Takeda hired, as well as the Fox mask. A cutscene with the Fox playing his tunes by moonlight follows. Nice guy, but I repeat: the slavery. Time to whoop his ass.There’s one tiny problem with that, though: This fucker’s good. Probably the first legitimately challenging fight in this game in a hot minute. For starters, his katana’s poison, which is bad news for you if you take too many hits here. But also, his go-to combo string is long enough to psych you out of when it’s safe to swing on him. If you yourself have an affliction you can build up, it’ll help. But less than normal, my dude has quite a lot of health. Largely, you’re doing damage and dodging so you can earn the adrenaline needed to spam the ever-living hell out of your abilities. They’ll do the most discernible damage, and unlike your normal attacks, you just need to hit once. Be patient, be careful, and when an opening occurs, hit hard, not often. Screenshot: Ubisoft / Justin Clark / KotakuEventually he’ll die. You’ll get a dialogue choice to pick if Motoaki deserved his fate or was just misguided, and despite being only one right answer here, you can pick either and it’ll have no effect on the plot. You’ll get the typical chunk of XP for doing the world a service, but the real reward is that, with a name to go off of, Yasuke gets a rip-roaring rampage of revenge all his own against the Portuguese filhos da puta who made him a slave. That might be the best reward in the game right there. .
