John Boyega has shared his opinion that Anakin Skywalker is more powerful than both Rey and Kylo Ren.

Boyega, who is reprising his role as Finn in The Rise of Skywalker, took to Twitter to reveal his allegiance on Wednesday, as he publically responded to a CBR article that claimed, “Rey is a better Jedi than Anakin or Luke.”

“I’m sorry guys but Anakin slapping all of us in a pit of lava. Including Kylo,” the actor wrote, making his stance clear alongside a few laughing face emojis.

2K has announced that a new patch is now live for WWE 2K20 that fixes some of the notorious problems that the game has been suffering from.

Issues fixed by the patch include characters “warping” and moving unnaturally around the arena, hair physics, clipping issues, interactions with objects such as tables and ladders, and referee actions. Problems with on screen button prompts, crashes and freezes, and hit detection and aiming are also fixed by the 1.02 update.

Patch 1.02 is now available for WWE 2K20 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This latest update aims to fix a slew of bugs and glitches hampering 2K’s latest pro wrestling game.

The patch notes don’t delve into the nitty-gritty specifics of what was fixed or changed, but it promises to improve upon 2K20’s gameplay, controls, graphics, clipping, hit detection, and aiming. It should also address some of the crashes and freezes that occur throughout the game, characters “warping” or moving unnaturally around the arena, and its online stability.

Update 1.02 Patch Notes

• Gameplay and Controls
• Graphics and Clipping
• Hair Physics
• Hit detection and aiming
• Interactions with tables, ladders, steel steps, and other objects
• Referee actions
• Onscreen button prompts
• Characters “warping” or moving unnaturally around the arena
• Crashes and Freezing
• Image downloads
• Entrances and attires
• Universe mode editing and saving
• Custom and Created Superstars and creation modes
• Commentary and sound effects
• Online Stability, matchmaking, desyncs, and lag

2K says it expects to roll out additional patches in the near future to address other concerns.

WWE 2K20 has scored unfavorably with critics since its release. GameSpot’s review scored it 2/10, saying, “WWE 2K’s annual release schedule has felt superfluous for a number of years now. This has never been more apparent than with WWE 2K20, a game that’s not only riddled with frequent technical issues, but one that’s notably worse than its predecessor in almost every area–whether it’s the dull and unenjoyable combat, the fact half the roster look like terrifying goblin facsimiles of themselves, or MyCareer’s obnoxious and tedious story. This is the moment the WWE 2K series hit Rock Bottom.”

Among the many new things introduced to Destiny 2 this week was another Exotic weapon quest, this one for Xenophage. Starting the quest and seeing it all the way through is challenging, but that didn’t stop some players from quickly getting their hands on it–and finding themselves underwhelmed. As it turns out, the weapon is bugged, causing it to be less effective than intended.

After players began to unlock Xenophage, posts began to pop up on places like Reddit wondering if something was wrong. The weapon was not dealing precision damage and was generally not great–not exactly what you’d expect from an Exotic light machine gun.

In response to some of the feedback that’s been shared about the new gun, Bungie community manager Cozmo23 wrote on Reddit, “I checked with the team on this. The fact that Xenophage does not do precision damage is not a bug and by design. However, the weapon is unintentionally underperforming and we are currently investigating.”

Bungie’s weekly blog post reinforced that this is a bug, much to the amusement of some players due to the fact that Xenophage’s unique design is basically that of a bug gun.

There’s no word on how quickly Xenophage’s problems will be resolved, but there’s no time like the present to work on acquiring it. Alternatively, you can dive into the new dungeon or Festival of the Lost.

Welcome to November, the month that marks the true beginning of the holiday shopping season and exciting leadup to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We’re now just weeks away from the frenzy that is Black Friday weekend, but stores aren’t wasting any time in getting shoppers excited for the biggest deals. That includes Ebay, which is kicking off the first of its holiday deals on November 1.

Ebay’s Black Friday plans include a series of Black Friday “Drops” every Friday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET through December 13. These drops will include “a limited quantity of trending items,” such as the Nintendo Switch and Bose headphones. Ebay will also be offering major deals on its Brand Outlet page, which features items from major brands like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Nintendo, and many more.

Notably, the Nintendo Switch Lite and Pokemon Sword and Shield will be the Black Friday Drops on November 15–which happens to be release day for the new Pokemon games–but Ebay’s press release doesn’t indicate what the sale price will be for either product. We’ve reached out for more information and will update this story when we hear back.

Black Friday deals at Ebay come with the store’s best price guarantee, which means you’ll receive 110 percent of the price difference on eligible deals and top products if you find the same item for less on a competitor’s website. The best price guarantee is available at Ebay year-round, but the offer is sure to come in particularly handy during Black Friday.

We’ll keep this article updated as more gaming, tech, and entertainment deals go live, but for now, check out an overview of the best upcoming deals below, as well as some of the current offers.

The open beta for Nioh 2, the sequel to 2017’s Samurai-souls experience Nioh, is now live on the PlayStation Store.

Nioh 2’s open beta clocks in at 12.51 GB and runs from November 1-10. It’s free for all PlayStation 4 owners to download and can be played either solo or in two- to three-player online co-op. Of course, accessing the game’s online features requires an active PS Plus membership.

The open beta gives you the chance to test out Nioh 2’s revamped combat system, in addition to new weapons like Switchglaive and an extensive character creator. With the new Yokai powers, you will trek through two levels and face-off against two very tough bosses. Completing Nioh 2’s open beta nets you The Mark of the Demon Slayer, a reward which unlocks the Kamaitachi Helmet for use in the full game.

Developer Team Ninja revealed that Nioh 2 launches on March 13, 2020. Pre-orders for the action-adventure RPG are now open on PS4. Picking up the Deluxe Edition scores you the game’s season pass, three separate pre-order avatars, a PS4 theme, an armor set, and a charm–all for $80 USD.

Those who missed the original Nioh and have an active PS Plus subscription can pick up the 2017 title for free as part of November’s PS Plus lineup. You can begin downloading Nioh on November 5 and the deal lasts all through the month.
