Practice makes perfect, as the sniper’s adage of “one shot, one kill” rings entirely true here. However, it fails to mention that missing that “one shot” can have catastrophic results. This bolt action rifle has a significant cooldown between shots that needs to be taken into account, but a skilled player can practically run-and-gun with this monster, proving unstoppable even in close-quart
The game originally came out in 1999 as a Half-Life mod and in 2000 as separate retail. That’s over a decade! The potential of what a new release would look like seems amazing in terms of graphics, mechanics and the all-around evolution of video games since then. I know I’m not alone, there’s even a Facebook group devoted to the ca
Its recoil is ridiculous, making its handling hard, and taking the quality of the weapons itself into consideration, it’s not worth the hassle. Of course, this weapon is not a giant fail, it’s perfectly usable, but more experienced players will soon realize that most of the time it’s in fact, usel
Naturally, combining the two would only go well. Imagine selecting your hero from the lineup of approximately 10,000 girls in the Senran Kagura series, then picking a lane and farming faceless delinquents alone while your team yells at you to actually contribute to the game. Imagine a base that isn’t a towering ancient, but a giant anime girl whose clothes fly off the more damage you do to her. Imagine how many hats you could buy, except instead of giving your hero more clothing, it just disrobes them even more. It sells its
With a franchise already intrinsically connected to girls murdering swarms of their peers, Counter-Strike 2 Missions the leap between “cutting high schoolers down in the streets” and “dying ten times to get one hit in on something” is a pretty small one. Bonus points if From Software comes on board and imbues the game with the immersive, organic physics their games are known
Running and gunning rarely works, and concentrated pushes through smoke and artillery are critical to winning. This makes communication a key factor, and many newcomers might not know what to say, how to say it, or even what to do in-game. Patience and team play are king, and even small mistakes can lead to a de
Over the last few weeks, many people simultaneously came forward accusing ItsSliker of defrauding them out of significant amounts of money. Contacting friends, other streamers, and long-term fans, Sliker asked for various sums of money over the course of several years under the false pretenses of a locked bank account and the desire to pay the loan back with interest. Never paying back any of his victims, Sliker would instead use the funds to extend what he described as a serious gambling addiction, in which he fell into a self-destructive spi
With the long-term chapter of gambling controversies on the Twitch platform seemingly coming to an end, it is clear that the streaming service is shifting dramatically in appeal and ethos. While many will agree that the move might be in Twitch’s best interests, the tension and infighting that it is causing among its most popular streamers may be a very detrimental byproduct of its many gambling controversies finally being laid to r
Currently, Valve has a bunch of updates in beta right now for the current version readying for full release and I can only hope that’s just to keep us at bay while they work on a sequel. Until then, I’m waiting for the original to get Mac support so I can get back in on Steam for
Tekken has been one of the most consistently popular fighting games in the genre. The 3D fighter features beautiful graphics and a huge roster of unique characters to choose from. Save for a few exceptions like Super Smash Bros , fighting games are often very hard for newcomers to come into. There is a ton of information to learn, and it can even be hard just choosing a charac
A few members of the Game Rant crew were discussing which of our favorite titles we haven’t had enough of – and would love to see again in sequel form. The only rule was that titles could have no direct sequel, excluding spin-offs, spiritual successors, or rema
Back from LucasArts glory days, Grim Fandango is probably the best example of a graphic adventure you can find. It was amazingly stylized and had an incredible plot which hooked you right from the beginning, and is probably one of the best examples of good writing in the videogame busin
First on my list is Legend of Dragoon . Granted, it had a super generic story. You are on a mission to collect dragon spirits and gain allies, while the main character Dart is seeking revenge on the black monster that killed his fam
The perfect mix between rifle and SMG, the UMP is a great jack of all trades. The UMP is the gun to buy when you can’t afford a full rifle, but you need to fight against them. While other SMGs like the MP9 fall off at longer ranges, the UMP gives the user a fighting chance while still possessing SMG killing power in close range. The UMP is also very user-friendly. It has a manageable recoil pattern that is not punishing to mess up. The UMP has been featured in many of the best FPS games of all time and it has been a great weapon in nearly all of them.
