Hard to believe it, but it’s September already, which heralds a brand new fall season. This month on MMOCO, we’ll be looking at the console release of a new piece DLC for Elder Scrolls Online, a new raid for Secret World Legends, and a new water powerset for DC Universe Online....
Listen, you guys don't need me to tell you what most of the Co-Opticrew will be up to this particular weekend. Bungie's latest co-op loot shooter has arrived in the form of Destiny 2, so you know we'll be playing it until our eyes bleed. I will say, though, that I honestly wasn't expecting it to just barely edge out a loot shooter that's half a decade old. I guess that just goes to show that you can never truly escape the siren call of better loot.
Dead Rising 4 has been out for a while on Xbox One and PC, but what about PlayStation 4 owners? Come December 5th they need wait no more as the game is getting a release on Sony's console, but Frank's Big Package offers more.
Fresh off its official release, ARK: Survival Evolved is already aiming to one-up itself with the "Aberration" expansion. I didn't think things could get much wackier in the dino-ridden survival/crafting/exploration game, but it turns out I was hilariously wrong.
Everybody's favorite Irish Samurai, William, will be reaching the end of his fantastical journey later this month. "Bloodshed's End," the final piece of DLC for Nioh, arrives on September 26 and brings with it a new game mode in addition to the usual new weapons, enemies, and missions.
Though it's been out for roughly a year on PC and PlayStation 4, Lichthund's spear throwing action title, Lichtspeer, is getting a Nintendo Switch release today, and it's got a little exclusive bonus. Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition lets you and a local buddy team up to take down Penguin Vikings and Hipster Ice Giants.
With the holiday in the U.S. this week, our usual Monday night crew opted for a Tuesday night stream instead. With Phoenix Labs' forthcoming action-RPG title, Dauntless, recently entering the closed beta phase, Tally and Jason decided to take it for a spin and show off their fine Behemoth hunting skills.
Imagine just standing around, minding your own business and being a dinosaur, when all of a sudden a squad of jerks pop out of the trees and cut off your tail. Such is the life of the digital prey that permeate Monster Hunter: World. To be fair, it's probably good to thin their numbers a little. I imagine having a ton of huge carnivores running around has to be at least a little hard on the ecosystem.
Following on the success of their last title (the excellent Neon Chrome), 10tons has a new twin-stick shooter coming out soon that is set in the same universe and uses many of the same mechanics, but with a few notable differences. JYDGE is all of the aesthetics and style of Neon Chrome, minus the randomness, plus a whole lot more customization.
A new week (I know, we're off by a couple days) is here which means we've got a new bunch of co-op releases. Destiny 2 is the big one here, but we've also got a stylish Zelda throwback title in Songbringer, the sequel no one thought would happen in Knack 2, and LEGO Worlds and Neurovoider both make their way onto the Switch.
SteelSeries was kind enough to send over a pair of the Arctis 5 USB headset along with their recently released Sensei 310 gaming mouse. I've been using both exclusively for the past week, switching from a Razer Chroma mouse and a Astro A40 headset. Here's how they compare.
The Co-Opticrew has been hard at working sowing the seeds of co-op gaming for weeks on end. We've made the populace aware of as many announcements, patches, and dev videos as humanly possible, and now we reap our just rewards. At least, that's what caused our upcoming extended weekend in my headcanon. It's also possible that this holiday comes pretty consistently every year and our work has extremely little impact on it.
