Top 10 RPG Worlds of All Time
Out of every genre, role-playing games have given us some of the most awesome, beautiful, terrifying, and fascinating worlds to explore. In celebration of the hours we’ve spent exploring and adventuring in them, here are our top 10 RPG worlds of all time.
Many games are set in outer space, but few have really captured the essence of space travel and intergalactic civilization the way EVE Online has. Exploring the New Eden galaxy and its over 5000 star systems and 2500 wormhole systems must be done manually, via spaceship. While EVE by no means prioritizes realism, it does keep many of its elements grounded in slow-paced management-heavy gameplay, especially with its complex player-driven economy. These elements, combined with the backstories of each major faction, are a perfect fit for the literal universe that has been home to some of the most exciting online space battles and dramatic player-driven epics in video game history.
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds Update Balances Loot
The next update for Playerunknown's Battlegrounds will adjust the game's loot system, as well as add two weapons in addition to other changes.
According to a developer post, Bluehole Studio discovered a bug causing certain items to spawn more or less than the studio intended. As a result, the latest Battlegrounds update will see adjustments made both to address the bug and user feedback on particular weapons. Bluehole will continue to make adjustments as needed.
For the next update, the VSS will no longer appear in Care Packages but will still be spawned on the map. There will also be a low probability chance of collecting AR Silencers,SR Silencers, and 4x Scopes from Care Packages. A new weapon, the Groza, will also be added to Care Packages.

SNES Classic: Will Nintendo Learn From its Past Launch Mistakes?
I’m probably not the only old-school Nintendo fan with conflicting emotions today. On the one hand, the long-rumored/expected Super NES Classic was announced, and it sounds awesome! Two controllers, 21 games including several bona-fide all-time classics, and even the unreleased Star Fox 2. Yes!! On the other hand, Nintendo flat-out bungled the launch of the NES Classic, which was a gimme putt as far as system launches go. What should’ve been a uniting moment of universally celebrated nostalgia was instead a months-long slog of frustration, unceremoniously capped off by the quiet discontinuation of the NES Classic in April, assuring that many fans would never get their hands on the tiny trip down video game memory lane.

Total War: Warhammer 2 Aims to Bring Fantasy Tabletop Game To Life
Back in my tabletop gaming days, I sported an impressive war host of Wood Elves, complete with treemen and hawk riders. But what I never achieved with dice rolls and detailed paint jobs was the epic scale that the Warhammer lore seemed to demand. There was something lacking in my painted figurines and styrofoam set pieces.
That’s why the Total War series has been such a boon to Warhammer fans. Utilizing the units, locations, and lore of Warhammer’s high-fantasy universe, TW:W2 brings the deep strategy of the Warhammer series to a real-time strategy platform.
At E3, I was able to get a hands-on demo with a familiar scenario to Warhammer fans: the High Elves, in their arrogance, have messed with forces they should not have, and now have to deal with the perhaps-cataclysmic consequences.
Nintendo Confirms SNES Classic Controller Cord Length Is Longer than NES Classic’s
Nintendo has confirmed the length of the SNES Classic Edition controller's cord, revealing it will be longer than the often criticized length of the NES Classic Edition controller's.
In a statement provided to IGN, a Nintendo representative confirmed the Super NES Classic's controller cord is approximately five feet long, "which is about 2 ft. longer than the cord on the NES Classic Controller."
The length of the NES Classic Edition controller's cord was one of several issues IGN addressed in our look at what Nintendo could learn from the NES Classic's failures. IGN also took a look at how to solve the NES Classic Edition's cord length issue following the system's release.
More Han Solo Movie Clash Details: Acting Coach Hired, Editor Fired
More details are emerging regarding the dismissal of the Han Solo standalone movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and some of the problems leading up to their firing. That includes the earlier firing of an editor on the film and a late-in-the-game hiring of an acting coach for Alden Ehrenreich, who stars as the legendary rogue, scoundrel and smuggler.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "matters had already reached a boiling point" on a day in mid-June when Lord and Miller, on the cockpit set of the Millennium Falcon, didn’t start shooting until 1 p.m. And once they did, they only achieved three different camera setups, whereas Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy had expected 12-15 setups according to sources. Essentially, Lucasfilm felt that the directors were moving slowly and not offering a ton of coverage for editing.
