Minority Mindset

In a recent conversation on the My Perfect Console podcast with Simon Parkin, Sony’s Masayuki Yoshida explained how the shift from game cartridges to CDs allowed FromSoftware to become a video game developer. Yoshida remembered Sony, then new to the console market, trying to attract developers like Atlus and Namco to the original PlayStation. Cartridges were costly to produce and had limited storage space, while CDs were cheaper, faster to make, and could hold significantly more data. This presented FromSoftware with a chance to enter the gaming industry.

After you finish this quest, you’ll need to go to Blue Gate, so be prepared! Bring your best gear – a strong shield and a weapon you’re good with – to avoid losing valuable items if you get into a fight.

Design director Justin Wiebe hinted to IGN that solo game modes might be coming in the future, saying players should stay tuned for updates. However, he first wanted to explain why the game currently doesn’t have a dedicated playlist for solo play.

In 2020, while launching her YouTube channel, Larson told Nintendo Life how she first got into gaming. She explained that her love for the NES games Super Mario Bros. and The Little Mermaid sparked her interest. She even jokingly mentioned that she once broke up with a boyfriend while she was intensely focused on finishing Super Mario Galaxy.

Valve’s new Steam controller takes inspiration from the popular Steam Deck handheld gaming console. It has everything you need to play today’s games, including advanced magnetic thumbsticks, standard-sized buttons, trackpads, motion control, and grip buttons. You can use it with your PC, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, or Steam Frame. Valve estimates a full charge will last up to 35 hours.

You don’t need to worry about extracting items to finish the ‘Reduced to Rubble’ mission, so it’s a good idea to use a free loadout if you’re new to the Blue Gate map or just want to avoid losing valuable gear. There are a lot of powerful enemies on this map, and things can turn dangerous quickly, so it’s best to play it safe.

You don’t need to gather extra items to finish the ‘Life of a Pharmacist’ challenge. You can start with any available loadout, or if you prefer, bring your strongest gear. The Arbusto Farmacia has some good rewards, so it’s a good idea to be well-equipped to claim them all.
