‘I’ll catch this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy…’ See that beastie in the picture above? That’s a newly-discovered species of shark paleontologists believe existed almost 70 million years ago. The sea creature was discovered after its teeth were found embedded in sedimentary rock, left over from the dig that uncovered the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex “SUE,” now on display in Chicago’s Field Museum. But what does this have to do with video games?...

Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Patch 8 is expected to be a big one in the game’s cycle, and we now have confirmation about the release date. As of this writing, the patch will end its stress test soon after months of Larian drip-feeding the upcoming content. The patch will revolve around 12 new subclasses, and we already know what they are and how they will play inside the game. You won’t have to wait for too long now....

Good luck While it’s all well and good to look back onSkyrimand have a laugh at all the silly bugs (some weretoo fun to fix) those of us who didn’t experience game-breaking issues may forget it wasn’t all backwards dragons and horse goat climbing. “It probably took us a month or two before we really had a handle on it,” bethesda’s Todd Howard told Game Informer. “All of the updates we did on Skyrim, and all of the DLC – once we sorted [the bugs out] we had a different process for how we checked the content out....

Videogame character praised by gay rights association As Dtoid’sGame of the Yearfor 2013,The Last of Usis a title that hit all the right notes for players, and will likely go down as one of the most memorable games of the last generation. It was earnest, brutal, and uncompromising in its view of a world gone sideways. And now it seems that GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has taken a liking to it as well....

Well, good Street Fighter Vcame in under expectationswith 1.4 million sales. The general consensus seems to be that what was there at launch just wasn’t enough — it needed more time. That’s certainly how I felt as a dormantfan of the series who never gets too deep into the competitive scene. Even Capcom has also admitted as much. Speaking to investors, CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto noted thatStreet Fighter V“needed more polish, such as the lack of content and server issues at launch....

Sexy cats wherever you go! If you love cat ladies and are a fan of visual novels,Nekoparais basically your heaven. The game is an H-Game from Japan where you take in some catgirls and then have sex with them. It is certainly a thing that exists in this world and we’re all the better for it. The only problem is that the games have been relegated to PC, meaning you’re able to’t experience them out in public for the world to see…until now!...

Don’t worry, it’s not your eyes: Cryptic Studios or Atari turned up the contrast to eleven in this latest batch of screenshots for MMOChampions Online. Prepare to have your eyes melted by the vivid colors, especially if you’ve been busy playing an earthy game likeRed Faction: Guerrillaor the especially drabPrototype. By the way, Destructoid is not responsible for eye meltage or any other side effect of looking at images of a game that doesn’t prominently feature the color brown....

Mario Kart 8.5 I’m not sure ifMario Kart 8 Deluxeis going to be a system seller (especially sinceThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildalready had such a strong opening for the Switch), but this is from the perspective of someone who poured tons of hours into the Wii U version and released DLC. Then again, it’s not like it has to move systems anyway. For those wary of what exactly makesMario Kart 8 Deluxea “deluxe” version, Nintendo has helpfully released a trailer detailing all of the new additions....

Launching on June 18 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the “Ghost Face” DLC pack will include the killer, three new perks, and two new items. Those items will be the monochrome mania body and silvery steel tactical knife weapon, obviously inspired by the films that Ghost Face comes from.

Beach volleyball Costco no longer sells its bulk chicken breasts in individually wrapped two-breast packs. Now it’s just a giant plastic sack full of chicken breasts. Imagine: me, you, and some friends. We each grab a couple breasts and proceed to have an infectious little slap fight with them, slimy and smacky and still cool from the fridge. That’s all I can think about seeing this powerful display of PS4 physics and disgusting booty bump sound effects....

This new opening movie trailer and demonstration for upcoming Square Enix titleDemon’s Scoreis crazy. There’s haunted castles, talking teddy bears, machine guns, demons and knitted caps. That’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a videogame! A good game also needs good music.Demon’s Scoreis all about music, as its touch and swipe battle mechanic is tied directly to the beat of tunes that come from some of gaming’s best musicians. Square Enix confirms that Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts) Keiichi Okabe (Tekken, Nier), Zuntata, Naoshi Mizuta, Ryo Yamazaki, and Kohei Tanaka are on the roster, and more announcements are coming soon....

While the new weapons ofDestiny 2’sEchoes Episode have been the main highlight, some of the returning weapons are also intriguing.The Perfect Paradox, for example, has quickly returned to its place as a mainstay in most arsenals and a capable shotgun for both PvE and PvP content. One such returning weapon takes on a rather new form of grenade launcher, but one that is surprisingly great for ad clear. Here’s the god roll for the Martyr’s Retribution grenade launcher inDestiny 2....

Destiny 2players who moved over toWarframein the last month or so have been praising the game’s community for being so welcoming and helpful when they hit a roadblock and don’t know where to go or what to do. Warframe‘s player base is well known for beingfriendly and welcoming, andDestiny 2players are seeing this firsthand as the latest group of displaced MMO players in need of a game with a developer they feel they can trust....
