16 Fixes DICE Needs to Make to Battlefield 1 Before Launch
The Battlefield 1 beta recently wrapped to the tune of 13.2 million players taking it for a spin. Those are some mighty impressive numbers for a beta, and while I had a hell of a lot of fun in DICE’s latest destructive sandbox, there were also some issues that the team really should address before the game launches on October 21.
It’s worth noting that some of these items will likely have been looked at internally while the beta was happening, and DICE has pledged to address others, but what follows is a breakdown of the bugs, issues and potentially concerning features I encountered in the recent open beta.
Atlus Sorry for Shin Megami Tensei 4: Apocalypse Error
There are two instances of unlocalized Japanese text in the English version of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and Atlus is very sorry about it.
In a blog post on Atlus' website, the developer explains that the Japanese text springs up during a boss battle near the end of the 3DS game. It wasn't spotted by its QA team, Atlus explains, because the QA team had never encountered those particular circumstances during that particular battle.
"The two instances of Japanese text left in the game happen during a boss battle near the end of the game", wrote Atlus. "As you may know, SMTIV:A has partners that are permanently with you throughout the game, and you can select the partner based on what abilities they have that complement your play style. (No more worrying about a randomly chosen Walter casting Agi on demons that resist fire. WALTEERRRRRR!)

What It’s Like to Jump Back Into Destiny…2 Years Later
Like many others, I quit playing Destiny in 2014. I’d reached level 20, and while my friends tried explaining to me the concept of the ‘light’-centric endgame, it felt too convoluted, too vague, and too time-consuming to figure it all out. I’d finished the story and hit level cap; time to move on.
But time wore on and I kept hearing that Destiny had changed. Vanilla Destiny - what I played - was apparently well in the rear view mirror. Three pieces of DLC later, with a particularly significant upgrade thanks to The Taken King, the Destiny of 2016 was by all accounts the shooter Bungie always intended to make.
So I decided to buy all three DLC packs and jump back in for a couple of days to see if it’s possible to enjoy Destiny two years on. Here’s what happened.
Agents of SHIELD: What You Need to Know About Ghost Rider
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD isn't trying to hide the splashiest new addition to its ensemble of characters. The subtitle of its new season names him loud and clear: Ghost Rider. The ABC drama is using Robbie Reyes as a big hook to get people excited for Season 4, and ever since his involvement was announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel is going all in to get people excited about bringing the superhero to the small screen.
Here are the basics: Gabriel Luna (Matador, Wicked City) plays Robbie Reyes, a Dodge Charger-driving superpowered human whose powers come from a spirit named Eli Morrow. Eli is permanently bonded to the car, and is seeking vengeance against the gang members who killed him. When Robbie transforms into Ghost Rider in the comics, he ditches the Johnny Blaze flaming skull for a more practical skull-shaped helmet. Based on a first look at SHIELD Season 4, the TV show will do a mix of the two.
