• Corrected a rare issue with NPCs no longer calling V if A Like Supreme quest was abandoned mid-way.
• Fixed an issue with Nix not going into his default state in Spellbound and KOLD MIRAGE.
• Fixed issues blocking progress in I Fought The Law if the quest area is left.
• Fixed inability to find Delamain in Epistrophy.
• Fixed issues related to remaining in the second phase of the quest after finishing Pacifica fight with Ozob if played after Finals.
• Fixed an issue with Nomads no longer present if V leaves the quest area mid-combat in With a Little Help from My Friends/Queen of the Highway.
• Adjusted mappings and re-enabled quest tracker in M’ap Tann Pèlen/I Walk the Line/Transmission.

• Fixed issues with time and space resulting from leaving the quest area or abandoning the quest inFollowing the River.
• Fixed an issue with conversation with Johnny not starting after leaving the hotel in Tapeworm.

• Fixed the objective “Go into booth 9” not completing if the room’s entered too fast in Automatic Love.
• Fixed Jackie’s issues with sitting still in The Ripperdoc.
• Other quest fixes

Gameplay

• Fixed the preview in weapon crafting.

Visual

• Reduced vehicle appearance pop-in.
• Speeded up switching first person perspective to third person perspective in a vehicle.
• Fixed issues with animations missing from important quest NPCs during cinematics.

Performance & Stability

• Improved stability, including various crash fixes.

Miscellaneous

• Modified the flashing effect on braindances to reduce the risk of inducing epileptic symptoms. The effect has been smoothed out and the flashes reduced in frequency and magnitude.
• Removed copyrighted songs incorrectly present in the game with “Disable Copyrighted Music” feature toggled on.

PC-specific

• Switching language to default in the in-game settings now correctly sets it to the language of your Steam client.

Console-specific

• Improved reflections quality on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to eliminate the smudge effect.
• Fixed “The Wasteland” achievement being stuck on 97% after completing all relevant missions in The Badlands on Xbox.
• Fixed an issue with missing PT-BR VO for Xbox players in Americas.

We were holding off reporting on this until the patch was released on all platforms. The patch did release yesterday for PC and PS4, but the Xbox One version didn’t release until a few hours ago. Hopefully this update cleans up the game’s poor visual quality on console. Personally, we’ve had nothing but issues with the game’s visuals on Xbox One X, but the Stadia version looks great.

Cyberpunk 2077 is out now on PC, Stadia, PS4 and Xbox One. It is also compatible with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Making of Marvel’s Avengers Part 3 November 30, 2020

I honestly didn’t think more of these videos were coming after the release of Part 2, but low and behold this morning, we got the release of Part 3. Here’s a closer look at Marvel’s Avengers. Don’t worry, while the game has been out for a while, there aren’t any spoilers.

Honestly, I was disappointed by this video. It comes off more as a game overview than a deeper look behind the scenes. The game is out, there isn’t much reason to continue to produce game overviews, the game pretty much speaks for itself.

Marvel’s Avengers is out now for PC, Xbox One, Stadia and PS4. It’s coming next year to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Universal Studios Japan Announces Launch Date for Super Nintendo World November 30, 2020

Super Nintendo World was officially announced almost one year ago, with a release date of this past summer. It looked incredible, a way for tourists to step inside the screen of their video game system and really interact with the world of Super Mario. However, due to the current world events, that opening was postponed, and other than some food and merchandise information, we only had a vague idea of what would be coming when Universal Japan finally gave the okay to open.

Today, we have our first real, tangible, official look (no CGI) at what is coming at Super Nintendo World, AND we have it’s official opening date. Buckle your seat belt, we will be racing Mario Kart, and this time it is for reals.

Super Nintendo World is planning to open at Universal Studios Japan on February 4th, 2021.
