Developers are still ironing out kinks more than a month post-release. The latest update, patch 1.09, launched today. While the patch does not solve every known problem with Horizon Forbidden West, it addresses several issues related to quests, balance, graphics, performance, UI, and more.

One tweet belonged to Lead Animator Richard Oud, while the other belonged to Senior Quest Designer Blake Rebouche. Both tweets happened soon after Sony made the announcement of the PS5 showcase, and both tweets ended up getting deleted soon after. RELATED: PS5 Game Reveal Event Confirmed for Next Week Rebouche’s tweet was much sparser than Oud’s but also a lot more revealing. Instead of asking fans to mark their calendars, he simply said, “join us,” which made it sound as though Guerrilla Games was going to be a part of the PS5 reveal event....

The Hornets forward tweeted Tuesday that he didn’t play well enough to be selected, but seemed optimistic about his second season. “I didn’t get snubbed,” Bridges said. “I played like a— all year. I don’t deserve to be on any team. Next year will be different.” The 2018 lottery pick averaged 7.5 points and four rebounds in 80 games for a Charlotte team that just missed the playoffs. It finished in ninth — two games back from Detroit....

When creating Scorn, Ebb Software said it wanted to focus on creating characters, weapons, and environments that are intertwined. The ideas and art style for Scorn derive from the works of Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski and Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who famously has worked on the Alien franchise and the Dark Seed video games. Both artists are well known for their biomechanical style and nightmarish environments. RELATED: Why The Xbox Series X Is Going To Be Great For Horror Fans...

“Fox,” he tweeted, “is the most popular cable news in our area—you can help educate on Delta, vaccines and can save lives.” Edwards’ plea came as high vaccine resistance in the state and surging Delta infections continue to fill intensive care units with patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that in contrast to the 53 percent of people who’ve received at least one shot nationally, most counties in northern and southern Missouri are sitting below 40 percent....

Swastikas among other graffiti desecrated the Oregon Holocaust Memorial in Washington Park as the Portland Police Bureau currently investigate the incident. “The damage to the Oregon Holocaust Memorial is heartbreaking, and it’s particularly painful that it happened during Jewish American Heritage Month. I denounce hate crimes, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy,” Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler wrote on Twitter Monday. Police said no arrests have been made yet and as of now, there are no suspects....

But what about his challengers? We just don’t know yet, but we have suggestions. The derby format adopted in 2015 has been a success — timed rounds and head-to-head competitions were the primary changes — and this year’s event should be exciting no matter which MLB sluggers participate.

The former World No. 1 is looking for his first title on the BWF World Tour in 2019. It was in April this year that the 13th-ranked player had last reached a quarterfinal on the BWF Tour. The all-India clash with Sourabh Verma at the Hong Kong Open lasted about an hour in what was Srikanth’s first match at the event. He had earlier received a walkover in his first round after Kento Momota withdrew from the tournament....

Before I delve in, I need to first explain that the Honor Watch ES is, in most respects, a duplicate of the Huawei Watch Fit, although Huawei’s version has built-in GPS and one extra workout on its list of 90+ supported workouts. There are implications to this one-upmanship, which I’ll get into a little later. Design and build The Honor Watch ES is certainly a stylish-looking smartwatch, sporting a tall rectangular display compared to the square and circular displays of most available right now....

As seen in the trailer below, there are three sections that players can choose skills from: Prowler, Brave, and Forager. Skills in the Brave section appear to focus on beefing up the physical qualities of the protagonist Aloy, like a perk that allows her to move faster while wielding a heavy weapon, one that increases her level of Concentration, and another that allows her to slot two arrows in her bow on a single shot....

Anyone that’s played Horizon Zero Dawn knows that it has a fantastic melee system. It’s responsive, fluid, and above all, makes every hit — even the ones that don’t connect — feel satisfying to throw out. It also does a perfectly good job of showing off Aloy’s expertise with a spear, and how her training and hard work left her with a skill second to none in her generation....

Alongside the usual bug fixes coming in patch 1.18, Horizon Forbidden West has also added a new cosmetic item to celebrate Pride. The new Mark of Pride cosmetic paints Aloy’s face in the colors of the Pride flag, representing the LGBTQIA+ community. This marks the only piece of additional content being brought to Horizon Forbidden West with its latest patch, which mostly focuses on improvements to the game, including fixing a variety of issues....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the veteran JRPG franchise’s first foray into a more expansive, “go anywhere” setting. Previous iterations of the series have shepherded players through a somewhat linear region. The title is far from how Grand Theft Auto or The Witcher 3 handle open worlds, but it started a trend that the Pokemon series may still look to explore. In doing so, developer Game Freak has much to learn, and part of the process could be to look to other games for inspiration, particularly for the way in which it approaches populating the area, as the barren world that Pokemon Legends: Arceus presents leaves much to be desired in that department....

Collecting all the Vantage Points is not required to complete the story of Horizon Zero Dawn. However, doing so is well worth the time, as these datapoints contain an emotional, brutally honest story — the story of Bashar Mati. RELATED: Horizon Zero Dawn: What is Elysium?

Changes in hormone levels can affect major body functions, including the way you gain and lose weight. While hormonal weight gain affects both sexes, the distribution of fat differs between women and men. Treating hormonal weight gain involves finding and fixing the hormonal imbalance. You may also need treatment for the underlying medical issue causing a shift in your hormone levels. This article explains the symptoms, causes, and medical ailments linked with hormonal weight gain....

His team in serious need of a kick-start after squandering a three-goal lead against white-hot Colorado, Hornqvist provided one. Well, three actually. Hornqvist recorded the fastest hat trick in franchise history on Tuesday night, beating Semyon Varlamov three times in a span of 2:47 in the third period as the Penguins pulled away for a 6-3 victory. “You know what, the two last ones, they were lucky ones,’ Hornqvist said after boosting his season goal total to 12....

The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is the second story in the anthology, which began last year with Man of Medan. From the creators of Until Dawn, these games are multiplayer cinematic storytelling games, where players make choices, explore relationships and dialogue, and attempt stressful quick-time events. Death is permanent and sometimes easy to come by, so it is the perfect combination of horror movie and friendly game night. While the first game took place on an abandoned ship out in the ocean, this one looks to be fully on land in a terrifying town and surrounding forest....

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a fascinating adventure that takes players from levels 1-12 and pits them against increasingly more difficult challenges, including a lesser deity, the Frostmaiden herself. It’s an exciting chance for Dungeons and Dragons players to delve into a Forgotten Realms location that not a lot of source material has touched and offers a different experience than the typical hack-and-slash medieval quest. The timezone is still medieval, and players are still slinging spells and swinging swords, but paranoia, isolation, and modern horror tropes all play a huge part in this adventure....

This is not how the PGA Tour diagramed it when it conceived the idea of a post-season to generate interest in golf in late summer. The highlight in the third leg of this grand sham was the 185th-ranked player in the world shooting 62-63 on the weekend in the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club to earn entry into the Tour Championship next week. Well played, Morgan Hoffmann....
