"No Compromise On Quality" - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Delayed To August

David Anfossi - Eidos Montreal studio head posted on the Deus Ex website that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is being delayed in order for it to be a worthy successor to Human Revolution, a goal that is certainly not easy to accomplish.
I've mentioned this in the Mirror's Edge delay article but I am more than happy to wait as long as it is needed for a game to be truly finished. As Miyamoto once said "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever".
So in order for Deus Ex: MD to earn its place in the "good game" camp Eidos has delayed its release to August 23rd, 2016.

Back in ancient times, some 10 or so years ago, level editors were commonplace and players were free to create and share their own maps with the world.
These days however its a much rarer sight to behold which is why I'm happy to tell you that the psychedelic shooter/brawler Hotline Miami 2 is beta releasing its own level editor, dated for December 10.
Heroes Of The Storm Introduces Hero That Requires Two Players To Control

Its not often that I deem small patches worthy of an entire article but this time around the concept is so cool I can't not showcase it to you. Cho'Gall, the big bad Ogre from the Warcraft universe, is coming today to Heroes of the Storm, his trick being that two people need to play him at the same time.
What I find especially funny about this is that lore-wise Cho'Gall's two heads are constantly squabbling and arguing with each other so when you put in two random players who have no idea what they're doing in to the same body they're going to be perfectly roleplaying as Cho'Gall!

The Disgaea Steam page went up today without so much as an announcement which is odd considering how popular the series is these days.
According to the store page Disgaea PC will be coming in February 2016 with keyboard/mouse support, updated graphics as well as the usual Steam achievements & cards.
What Fallout 4 Doesn't Tell You But Is Definitely Worth Knowing Anyway

I've been on a bit of a Fallout 4 binge the past few days while working on my review (which should be done tomorrow) and I've come to realize that a lot of my rookie mistakes and problems could've been easily solved if the game even tried to explain things to me.
So to help you guys out I've compiled a small list of things (in video and text form) that Fallout 4 doesn't tell you about, but are definitely worth knowing anyway:
Fallout 4 - Luck Is Not A Dump Stat, It Is The Best Stat
- By Ash

If you're like me you probably ignored Luck on your first playthrough because who wants to hope for random chance to save you?
Well, it might surprise you considering the name but Luck in Fallout 4 is very consistent in its effects. Once you put enough points in to the crit & VATS related abilities you will become a whirlwind of death, constantly refueling your Action Points and Crit Charges while your enemies turn in to dust one by one.
Don't believe me? Allow me to change your mind:
7 Things Fallout 4 Does Wrong And How I Would Fix Them
- By Ash

Allow me to begin this by saying that Fallout 4 is a good game, maybe even a great game. The world, the exploration, the gunplay, the weapons and weapon modifications, its all excellent and it has kept me glued to the screen for over 20 hours now.
But after that many hours of play the numerous issues it has really started bothering me because I know that if they were fixed Fallout 4 would be massively improved. Whether they can or will be fixed at this point I don't know, but its worth a try anyway.
With that said, let's begin with number 1!
