The outrage started when players first discovered players who played longer and similar events they would earn less XP. You would earn XP for bright engrams after hitting the level cap. For example repeating public events would yield the same number of XP but the bar itself would go up slower. They announced a change to their XP system to stop the throttling but all they did was double the amount of XP it takes to level.
In a dev blog update the Destiny team has indicated changes are coming to Destiny 2. Such changes are going to be a new tier of weapons, private pvp matches, and better rewards for Strikes, Adventures, and Lost Sectors. Some changes are coming December 5th, others are coming December 12th, and the rest is later in January.
The new tier of weapons are called Masterwork weapons. “stat trackers, random, re-rollable stat bonuses, unique item tooltips, and item details screens.” These will be elite versions of legendary weapons. You can upgrade current legendaries and find them in the wild.
Adding armour ornaments.
Xur is going to start selling three of coins again and also a Fated Engram which will give you an exotic you don’t already have. Better emote interface. Will be changing the XP system. Their previous change to 160K XP is too slow.
“Going forward, Destiny 2’s post-launch game systems, features, and updates are being designed specifically to focus on and support players who want Destiny to be their hobby – the game they return to, and a game where friendships are made,”
“We want Destiny to be a game that fits into your life, providing you with reasons to log in and play with your friends, clans, and families. We want Destiny to be a world you want to be a part of.”
Mother has written a letter to the Honorable Malcolm J Howard about how Epic Games has no grounds against pursuing a minor.
Super Mario Cereal is coming to the US with an added amiibo. You can scan the box itself for amiibo functionality.
Tencent has announced that they will be making a PUBG port for smartphones with Bluehole. This port is being released to China first and no word on releases outside of China or a release date.
Demon’s Souls Turning Off Servers
PSA: Online services are being shut off on February 28th 2018
It’s not dead but the last game didn’t sell well. They are working on other games at this time and investigating what the new direction for the Deus Ex future is.
Hideaki Itsuno has announced the existence of DMC5. These leaks come from someone on ResetEra. Devil May Cry 5 is going to continue the story where Devil May Cry 4 left off. A reveal trailer has been made for some time now and they are just waiting on a time to reveal it. The trailer is set to be released during a Playstation event/conference. Will have open spaces and action sections similar to Bayonetta. Estimated release date is April 2018 and March 2019.
This week Thomas, Lo and Justin figure out who's a pretty girl. Turns out, it's Lo.
Thomas and Ben don their superhero outfits and get ready to take on the Justice League in their spoiler-filled review.
This week Thomas and Lo focus on their oral fixation while trying to talk about video games.
Thomas, Ben, and Lo bring on Jacob McCourt from LeftBehindGame.Club to talk wrestling and how old media still view streaming as something that is easy to accomplish.

ESRB Requires Ratings on Physical Indie Releases
The new rule itself requires games to obtain an ESRB rating before being published on Sony platforms. Previously, only games seeking a retail release had to receive an ESRB rating.
While digital games can be rated for free through the board's short form process, any title seeking a physical launch is now required to go through the long form rating process before being cleared for release. That means devs are required to pay a fee and submit details about the content of the game both through an online questionnaire and a physical DVD capturing "all pertinent content" for ESRB review
Special Reserve Games has cancelled a planned physical release of Ruiner because it “tipped production costs”
The new mandate introduces a valued tier for under $1 million production budget for being rated digitally but physical copies will require $3000
SAG-AFTRA Voice Actors Strike Over
90% of those striking voted to accept the tentative agreement.
EA Acquires Respawn For $455 Million
Total is made from $151 million cash, $164 restricted long term stock, and possible bonus of $140 million
Patrick Soderlund EA executive vice president said that they have a good relationship and the acquisition will help with publishing. For example last year, TitanFall 2 and Battlefield 1 came out too close together. October 21st compared to 28th.
