It’s still tough to be a new Eve Online player in 2022

May 17, 2022RockPaperShotgun

“In a way you could say that we’ve been failing at teaching Eve for 19 years,” says Bergur Finnbogason, the creative director of Eve Online. It’s not the whole story when it comes to new players in the infamous space MMO, but it is the dominant one. Among the many graphs that Finnbogason presented to the Eve faithful during his Fanfest keynote in Reykjavík this year, one was a colourful standout. It showed Eve Online’s learning curve as a comedy cliff face, so steep that it turned back on itself. Stickmen tumbled from its peak, while others were crucified or…

Destiny 2 Warlocks dominate as they head towards their first guardian games win

May 4, 2022VG247

While there’s still time for an upset, it looks like Warlocks are this year’s favourites. The Guardian games are well underway in Destiny 2, the annual olympics-esq competition that pits each class against each other over the span of three weeks, and it looks like Warlocks are the current favourites to win the whole thing. Logging into Destiny 2 right now, banners representing the progress of each class are clearly seeable at The Tower, and they hint at a big W going to the game’s intergalactic sorcerers. In second place come the Titans, who are performing admirably. Last place are…

According to Lampert, the main theme song in any of Bethesda’s games frames the title. The music team always tried to “weave it through in some way,” and as you level up in Starfield and discover new locations, the music will hint at the main melody. “Starfield…
