Here at PC Gamer I think it fair to say that we really, really didn’t like the Borderlands movie, calling it ‘an irredeemable mess’ that had us ‘longing for 1993’s Super Mario Bros’ film. Yes, it really is that bad. In fact, the Borderlands movie is so bad that someone has made a 3-minute song just from the bad reviews. Needless to say, the film, which reportedly cost $120 million to make, has been a box office megaflop, recouping so far just $25 million worldwide.
However, just when it looked like another video game movie adaptation was about to take the top spot for biggest flop of the year, as reported by Variety the reboot of gothic superhero film The Crow has somehow gone and outflopped Borderlands, generating just $4.6 million over its opening weekend on a budget of $50 million. In contrast, the Borderlands movie raked in $8.6 million over its opening weekend.
The reaction to The Crow reboot’s release has been supremely negative among both critics and the …
Patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3 is releasing sometime this week—though if you asked the community around 24-48 hours ago, they’d say it’s slated for Valentine’s Day. Those of you with an eye on your calendar may notice that date is long-gone, with nary a patch note to be spied.
That’s because Larian Studios never actually confirmed the date. Instead, the community simply hallucinated one based on what I can only describe as vibes. Now in fairness, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Twitter account did tease us with the phrase “love is in the air in Faerûn”, but still.
The great wheel of conspiracy was grinding a full day before that, however, when one dyingome on Twitter made a bold prediction that Patch 6 would hit on February 14. Larian Studios would later reply with a well-placed picture of beloved children’s television mascot (and meme icon) Pingu the Penguin.
Pingu’s second appearance occurs in a reply to SergeantDaynes, with Larian making use of a gi…

Cities: Skylines 2 didn’t have a great start last year. When it launched in October, the sequel to the best city builder around garnered a mountain of criticism thanks to its wonky simulation and significant performance issues. There were a plethora of great ideas buried inside it, but it definitely didn’t put its best foot forward. Improvements have been made since then, but this week’s launch of the first bit of post-launch DLC, Beach Properties, has just riled players up again.
Beach Properties is a weird DLC to lead with. It’s an asset pack, so it doesn’t introduce any new features, instead throwing a waterfront zone, a bunch of new growable buildings, six signature buildings and, erm, four trees into the mix. Despite the name, it doesn’t actually include beaches, and the assets have been criticised for mostly being a bunch of regular houses.
Granted, at $10/£8.49, this was not going to be a beefy expansion. And it’s probably better for Colossal Order to …
The subject of one big change is Scratch, a dog (an actual dog, not a disguised demon from the Nine Hells) who can be recruited into your party as a loyal and trustworthy pet. You can pet Scratch and play fetch with him, and following the update he’ll also be able to sniff out good spots to dig for treasure himself, which will hopefully lead him to discover more and better things to bring to you.
The update also fixes a problem with spell slots that was preventing multiclassed players from leveling up, a cross-save issue that was causing games to become stuck while syncing, a crash that could occur “when selecting a summon without a hotbar while a deck in the hotbar was maximised” (I’m guessing that one didn’t affect a whole lot of people), and another “edge case issue” that was preventing people from taking a Long Rest.
As with the previous hotfix, this one contains a number of spoilers, which are covered up in the full patch notes on Steam, and let me emphasize even mo…
If there’s one thing Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker will be remembered for, it won’t be its excellent conclusion to a decade-long story. Nor popularity so immense that Square Enix pulled the game from sale for six entire weeks to save the already-buckling servers from folding entirely. No, it will be remembered for its beautiful low-poly grapes that were so rudely “fixed” after they took Eorzea by storm.
Memes around the grapes have persisted 18 months after the expansion’s release, and it even caused director/producer Naoki Yoshida to go and quality check the grapes in Final Fantasy 16 to make sure they were up to snuff. Long may the low-poly grapes live on, especially now Square Enix is immortalising them as a physical goodie for the upcoming Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Las Vegas.
Those who are attending the festival will be privy to some lovely Final Fantasy 14-themed gifts. There’s a 10th-anniversary crossbody bag, an adorable carrot-shaped pen topped with a …
Samtsirhc Yrrem! As they say during the festive season in Gloomwood’s Mirror Realm. Actually, I imagine they say things like “What was that?” followed by “Argh!” much as they do in regular Gloomwood. What is the Mirror Realm, you ask? Why, it’s part of Gloomwood’s just arrived Christmas update, which adds bugfixes, new areas, and a whole host of festive doohickies alongside mysterious alternate dimensions.
If I seem evasive about the true nature of the Mirror Realm, that’s because it isn’t entirely clear what it is. Publisher New Blood Interactive is being decidedly cryptic about the whole affair. On the website formerly known as Twitter, New Blood posted a video of Gloomwood’s Doctor stepping into a fetching magenta portal, writing “The Mirror Realm of Gloomwood is now open to you, Doctor! Come and go as you please, discover inexplicable ways back to areas you’ve previously been, and maybe even a new surprises!”
It sounds like some kind of portal-y, fast-travel-y system…
