When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir

Some, such as Cephalon Ordis, control a ship’s systems and essentially make it so the occupants needn’t perform any action to maintain the ship.

You should probably do whichever is more entertaining for

Steep is the highlight of January 2019's PlayStation Plus games, partially because it ties into the winter season so well. Developed by Ubisoft, this is a fun snowboarding romp that allows players to carve up the slopes and even take to the skies with a wingsuit. It makes for a fun addition to anyone's PlayStation 4 libra

Jupiter is under the control of the Corprus, so you’ll be fighting heavily armored foes and robotic units. As a defense mission, players will be tasked with holding an area against waves of enemies. This is also an endless mission that allows players to continue defending the area, though the enemies get stronger with each wave. You’ll want to be level 15-20 at le

Zone of the Enders HD Collection and Amplitude round out what's being offered to PS3 owners through PlayStation Plus in January. The former is a complete remaster of one of the most iconic games in Konami's library, featuring giant mechs and intense battles. Meanwhile, Amplitude (which is developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix) is a single-player rhythm title that puts music at the forefront of the experience. It includes tunes from composers like Darren Korb ( Transistor ), C418 ( Minecraft ), Danny Baranowsky ( Crypt of the Necrodancer ), Insomniac Games, Freezepop, Kickstarter backers, and Harmonix’s in-house compos

Most free-to-play online games are social apps (i.e. Facebook), MMOs (i.e. Neverwinter, Star Trek Online ) or competitive multiplayer titles ( MechWarrior Online, Tribes: Ascend ), but not many take the form of a full-on co-op game. That's just one of the many things that makes Warframe spec
