DualShockers’ Game of the Year 2018 Staff Lists — Logan’s Top 10

LMGs in general are not considered useful enough based on our data, so we are slightly increasing their damage potential to improve the weapon’s role. For MG3 we saw very little usage in our data compared to the other crate weapons so we are making it more powerful. Also, some time ago we nerfed the effectiveness of the M249 on Console. We now see that that nerf has had too much effect and thus we are changing its recoil to a state in between the current and previous iterat

Remember that the combat strategy is different in this location compared to others, and you should tailor your style to each location. In Yasnaya Polyana, find the proper house with a commanding view over the others and pick your enemies one by one with a series of timely sh

It just so happens that View Distance is best set at the highest quality possible to provide the best advantage. After all, players wouldn’t want to see enemies seemingly floating because the terrain wouldn’t render. At the very least, those with less-than-ideal hardware for PUBG Battlegrounds should strive for Medium View Dista

Thanks to the heads up from Microsoft, there’s technically just enough time for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to download and beat the titles that are on the metaphorical chopping block. For those looking to get the most out of their investment, the publisher’s announcement that there’s actually two departure dates currently on the horizon has also provided a handy place for players to start their time trial-esque quest. While the majority of titles are set to leave on January 15, it’s worth keeping in mind that one game is departing a few days earlier than that on January

Having mastered some parachuting skills, you will be able to land in your desired spot, far away from the initial chaos. You certainly have a higher chance of winning the game once you have looted your desired ite

As a whole, 2018 was just an okay year for games. While I think many of the best games of this entire generation released this year, a lot of the more standard releases that we’ve come to expect every few years seemed to be in decline. Shadow of the Tomb Raider , Battlefield 5 , NBA 2K19 , and heck, even the disaster that turned out to be Fallout 76 were all pretty disappointing to me. At the start of 2018, I thought this year looked like a monster on paper, but there ended up being far more duds than I would have initially expected.

Similar to most Nintendo fans, putting Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on my end-of-the-year list was a no-brainer. The game’s new characters are fantastic, its quality-of-life updates are palatable, and most importantly, I don’t have a reason to keep my Wii U plugged in anymore. What more can I say, it’s Smash; it’s the tried-and-true formula made better than ever.

Look, I now understand why this series is revered like it is. Dark Souls III , much like Bloodborne , is now one of my favorite games of this generation and is likely one of my favorite action games ever made. The secret boss fight against the Nameless King, in particular, is likely one of my favorite gaming moments from this entire year.

The first PUBG patch notes map, Erangel, has always had a special place in the hearts of the players. If you’re new to the game, the first thing you should understand is that knowing the primary locations for each element is critical to your success. Let’s take a look at the main looting spots on this popular map, including School, Pochinki, Sosnovka Military Base, Georgopol, and Yasnaya Polyana, as well as some useful t

I said in my review of Shadow of the Colossus earlier this year that it was likely one of the best remakes ever made. About ten months later, I still vehemently believe this to be true. The graphical work that Bluepoint Games was able to accomplish in Shadow of the Colossus still astounds me and I really do think it might be one of the prettiest video games ever. Not only is the game gorgeous though, but I’m glad that one of gaming’s greatest achievement has now been made all the easier to revisit.

Ghost of a Tale is the second action RPG that’s departing Xbox Game Pass on January 15. Revolving around the story of a mouse and a minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure, Ghost of a Tale was brought to life by Lionel “Seith” Gallat, a Universal Pictures and DreamWorks veteran . Naturally considering this pedigree, his and indie studio SeithCG’s efforts have led to the creation of a charmingly heartwarming tale. Typically getting to the end of that adventure takes most players only 10 hours, with completionists often being able to stretch proceedings out to roughly 19 hours in their quest to see everything on of

God of War wasn’t just my favorite game that I played in all of 2018, it’s now easily my favorite game of this console generation. While 2019 is looking great on paper, it’s going to take a whole lot to unseat Kratos from this throne.

Of the games departing Microsoft’s subscription service at the halfway point of this month, Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts 3 is going to be one of the adventures that consumes the most amount of time for many players. As the epic accumulation of over 17 years worth of Disney-themed adventures, this latest entry in the iconic action RPG series serves up plenty of memorable moments across its roughly 30 hour long main st
