Available starting on September 6, the Destiny 2 bundle will retail for $449.99 USD/$549.99 CAN in North America. It will also be available in Europe, though prices for the region have yet to be announced. Sony calls this a “great bundle” for those considering the switch to the PS4 Pro, but it also says that the bundle is “limited edition.” Given how popular the first white PS4 Destiny bundle was, prospective buyers will want to act fast, pre-ordering now to secure one before stock runs out....

After being asked about the lack of Forsaken Crucible maps by a Destiny 2 fan, Bungie Senior Designer Derek Carroll confirmed on Twitter that new maps are definitely coming. Carroll urges players to focus on completing the Forsaken story this week, which lets Guardians go on an adventure to hunt down Uldren Sov, and avenge the death of Cayde-6, who is one of Destiny 2’s most liked characters. For players that prefer PvP and were looking forward to new Crucible arenas, this is likely disappointing....

The announcement came during the Blizzard block of GamesCom, where Forsaken Game Director Steve Cotton and Project Lead Scott Taylor gave fans a run-down of what to expect when Destiny 2’s big expansion launches this September. The Gambit free-trial will be available to all owners of Destiny 2, and will give everyone a chance to try out the highly anticipated new game mode ahead of Forsaken. This will give fans something exciting to look forward to in the week leading up to Forsaken’s launch....

The change was part of Update 1.1.2 that went live in the game on Tuesday, which was meant to reduce the amount of XP required to earn an Illuminated Engram from 160,000 to 120,000. However, fans quickly noticed that the change did not take effect and actually increased the XP required for rank-up all the way to 240,000. Bungie’s dmg04 replied to the concerns on Reddit, giving an update that the problem had been solved in-game:...

The leak in question uncovered information about Bungie’s plans to add Catalysts for Destiny 2’s Year 2 Exotics. Since then, no official word has come from Bungie about its Year 2 Exotics plans. Today, however, the confirmation came through. RELATED: Destiny 2: When Can You Pre-Load Shadowkeep on Console? The May leak came via a datamine from a Destiny 2 scraping website. The database found new details about 9 different Exotic Catalysts for Year 2 weapons, as well as 11 other weapons Catalysts listed without stats associated with them yet....

A post on Reddit by a user named Guywithquestions88 explaining the exploit has since taken off, with plenty of gamers acknowledging the usefulness of the exploit, which lets players access a hidden room where they can dole out damage and regenerate health from a position of relative safety. In order to access the room, players have to wait for the boss fight with Malok to begin. Any players looking around the area will discover a total of four different doors in the combat zone....

Of course, the House of Wolves DLC was not without its expected add-ons as well, like the new Shadow Thief Strike. As the only new strike added to the game this time around, Shadow Thief represents a new challenge for Destiny players, especially those hoping to complete the Weekly Nightfall Strike. Since the strike itself is new, many players might not yet have formed strategies for how best to tackle the experience....

However, with Destiny Update 2.0 also comes a few of the features detailed during The Taken King reveal a few weeks back. Specifically, the Tower’s Gunsmith will be receiving an upgrade on Tuesday that includes new quests and opportunities to earn new weapons. Word of the Gunsmith’s upgrade comes from Destiny: The Taken King producer Mark Noseworthy on Twitter. In his tweet, Noseworthy confirms that players will start earning Gunsmith reputation when Update 2....

In an interview with VG24/7, Rise of Iron’s executive producer Scott Taylor talked a little bit about the upcoming expansion, confirming first and foremost that the Gjallarhorn will be nerfed, or at least brought into balance for Rise of Iron: Gjallarhorn was actually already nerfed in Update 2.0, which came just prior to the launch of The Taken King. Bungie hasn’t specified whether those balance adjustments were enough or if it will require further work, but either way, it is clear that Bungie is looking into making sure the exotic rocket launcher does not become the be-all and end-all of Guardians’ loadouts like it was in Year One....

[HTML1] YouTuber Arekkz compiled a video of the new emotes that went live with update 2.1.1, and it is frankly amazing Bungie was able to keep these under wraps. Destiny players will now be able to perform rapper Drake’s Hotline Bling dance, and Guardians who were looking for ways to lament how former raid buddies used to call them much more frequently can now do so via interpretive dance. Those looking for a way to romance that special Guardian in their lives just in time for the Crimson Days event have also been given the option to evoke the classic Napoleon Dynamite dance that was nearly impossible to avoid on the internet over a decade ago....

From publisher THQ Nordic and its subsidiary development studio Black Forest Games, Destroy All Humans is a remake of the successful 2005 title. This sci-fi title tasks players with destroying all humans in their paths as the alien clone Crypto-137 ravages the Earth. It’s set in the 1950s when fear of UFOs and flying saucers began spreading, but pokes fun at the expected corny humor of that decade.

Corporal Moises Garcia of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the disappearance of Don Lewis, whose case was reopened after the 2020 premiere of Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness. The Netflix miniseries exploded in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lewis’s 1997 disappearance and the suspicions raised toward Baskin were a significant part of Tiger King’s overarching storyline. After the case was reopened, Garcia attempted to contact Baskin for interviews and information regarding the disappearance of her husband....

This hardly marks the first time Detroit’s NFL team engaged with a popular Nintendo Switch title, as the Detroit Lions revealed their 2020 schedule through Animal Crossing. One thing that has since changed for the Lions, however, is the team’s culture under Motor City’s Dan Campbell – former tight end of the Detroit Lions, and now their head coach. After having a rough inaugural season, Dan Campbell’s regime brought grit, perseverance, and just plain fun to the Lions that the Matt Patricia era sought to expunge....

Barca -1 10/11 with dabblebet However, striker Paco Alcacer has been left out, having not made an appearance for the club since August 28.

Ever the optimist, Schroder still talks of economic growth between 1.5 and 2.0 percent for the year. We’ll know for sure with the release of next week’s official GDP figures–but most banks and private-sector economists have cut their forecasts to 1 percent or less. The chancellor has returned from vacation pledging a “steady hand” in dealing with the downturn. (He’s understandably reluctant to use the word crisis.) But to many this sounds disturbingly like his predecessor Helmut Kohl’s penchant for “sitting out” problems....

The latest weekly survey of the primary field by Morning Consult revealed that the former Massachusetts governor had “no measurable support” among registered voters who said they may vote in Democratic primaries and caucuses following his campaign launch last Thursday. Patrick was also found to be the least recognized candidate in the field, with almost half of surveyed voters (46 percent) saying they had “never heard of” him. The next most unrecognized candidate, Oprah Winfrey’s spiritual adviser Marianne Williamson, was still 8 points better off than Patrick, with 38 percent of those polled telling Morning Consult they didn’t know who she was....

Review bombing can easily fool users who haven’t kept up with current trends in the gaming industry, resulting in them bypassing games that are actually good due to inaccurately low review ratings or, vice versa, buying games whose score has been falsely inflated by overenthusiastic fans or duplicitous developers. RELATED: Monster Hunter World is Getting Review Bombed It seems that one developer on Steam has joined in on the attempt to fool unwary users....

When it first debuted in 2019, DMC 5 revitalized a franchise that had been stuck in limbo for a few years. Capcom had attempted to take it in a different direction with Ninja Theory’s reboot DMC: Devil May Cry in 2013, to mixed critical and commercial results. DMC 5 would ultimately ignore the reboot and return to the original versions of Dante and friends, in the process providing some of the most critically-acclaimed hack-and-slash gameplay in years....

OK, so it happened in a preseason game, but the New Jersey Devils star’s goal in the first period against the New York Rangers on Friday was his first NHL tally in nearly nine months. Hall, 27, suited up for the first time since Dec. 23, when he suffered a knee injury that would keep him out for the remainder of the 2018-19 season. Two days prior, Hall posted two goals and two assists against the Ottawa Senators for the final four points of his abbreviated campaign....

Phoenix held a 26-36 record when the NBA season was put on indefinite hold last month due to the coronavirus pandemic. Booker, then, knew it would be a joke to use his real-life team. That’s why he reacted with laughter when first-round opponent Michael Porter Jr. said Booker should pick the Suns and let him choose his real-life Nuggets squad.
