In other words, the main influx of players and modders hasn’t even happened yet. That hasn’t stoppedthe buddingStarfieldmodding communityfrom sinking its claws into Bethesda’s latest and greatest, however. In fact, whereas it took almost a full year for the reveredFallout 4Script Extender to release, theStarfieldScript Extender is already out....

Don’t go for broke. TheStreet Fighter Vcosmetic experience relied massively on microtransactions, a business decision that angered a huge portion of the fanbase.Street Fighter 6massively improves upon the disappointing launch ofStreet Fighter Vin almost every single way, but it’s still not perfect when it comes to economics.Street Fighter 6makes up for the fatal error of its predecessor by giving players an almost absurd amount of stuff to do without having to pay extra, but it’s not exactly microtransaction-free....

According to a recentinterview with Siliconera,Street Fighterproducer Yoshinori Ono is still in the process of determining which of Capcom’s latest fighters should make their way to the 3DS. His first impulse was to immediately go withSuper Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, but now he’s thinking that it may be better to just move forward with the upcoming PS3/360/PS Vita titleStreet Fighter X Tekken.

I’m stunned by how greatPuppeteerlooks and can’t wait to play it this week at TGS. I have nothing against Grasshopper, but I might have to root for Japan Studio in a world where only one puppet platformer can exist....

Tokyo Game Show overview The Tomorrow Childrenwas among the first games tomake me wantto buy a PlayStation 4 sooner than later. WhileBloodborneultimately pushed me in that direction, I’m still captivated by Q-Games’ uncanny game about exploring, mining, building, battling monsters, and restoring the human race. This trailer out of Tokyo Game Show is presented in Japanese, but it conveys the scenario and atmosphere well despite that language barrier. If nothing else, marvel at the stunning visuals....

There’s a weird subdivision of people who will only play PC games if they are on Steam. I understand the basic notion of this (it’s easier), but I do not understand the fundamentalists who follow this notion. Shouldn’t you want to play a good game regardless of how that’s accomplished? Anyway, good news for people who want all of their hours logged and displayed online for everyone to see:Tribes: Ascendis now on Steam!...

Quality of life update I’m starving for more content in Tripwire Interactive’sKilling Floor 2. Over the holiday break, I put a bunch of time into it and have almost maxed out all of my perks.

The fixes range from quality of life changes such as ammo boxes not being picked up when your ammunition and grenades are full, to Zeds’ ranged attacks no longer being able to open doors....

Alliance vs. Na’Vi in an extraordinary game five of a best of five The International 3 concluded last night after a tense fifth game in a best-of-five set between Na’Vi and Alliance. Were you among the hundreds of thousands of people who watched the Grand Championship unfold? This is it — the final, ridiculous match that awarded one team $1.4 million in prize moneythanks in part to theDota 2community. If you couldn’t tell, I’m purposefully dancing around who the victor was, though many of you have undoubtedly heard by now....
