Blizzard Will Crack Down On World of Warcraft “Multi-Boxing”

The era of MMO dominance is long gone, but a lot of people still play World of Warcraft, and external tools that help you climb up the game’s progression rungs faster are still out there. Now, Blizzard has announced that it will soon aggressively crack down on players who engage in “multi-boxing,” a controversial tactic that involves using third-party software to duplicate your key inputs across multiple game clients.

“We’ve examined the use of third-party input broadcasting software, which allows a single keystroke or action to be automatically mirrored to multiple game clients, and we’ve seen an increasingly negative impact to the game as this software is used to support botting and automated gameplay,” a post on the WoW website reads. “The use of input broadcasting software that mirrors keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients will soon be considered an actionable offense. We believe this policy is in the best interests of the game and the community.”

The post makes it clear that Blizzard will soon begin to issue warnings to players that are caught using input broadcasting software. However, there are other forms of multi-boxing other than input broadcasting. For example, some players use multiple World of Warcraft accounts simultaneously, with each character following the path of another. Such action would be a legal form of multi-boxing even under Blizzard’s new rule.

World of Warcraft will soon see the release of a new expansion, Shadowlands, coming two years after the release of 2018’s Battle for Azeroth. It will reduce the game’s level cap to 60, as well as giving players the option to change their character’s gender without a fee. Pre-order sales are very high for this new expansion, which surprised a lot of players and industry observers alike.

NXT’s Johnny Gargano Has Big Plans And Dream Opponent For The North American Championship

At Halloween Havoc, Johnny Gargano became the North American Champion for a second time after beating Damian Priest in a Devil’s Playground match. The newly-crowned NXT secondary title-holder has big plans for his upcoming run though, including who he’d like to defend his title against.

NXT’s Triple Crown Champion–Gargano has held the NXT, North American, and Tag Team Championships–will be doing things differently this time around. “My last reign, I was way too worried and concerned about the climb, than the view from the mountain top,” Gargano told GameSpot during an episode of the Wrestle Buddies podcast. “I couldn’t enjoy the view. You know, I was so worried about getting that title, getting there. I think that’s been the story of Johnny Gargano with his titles. It’s always the fight to get the title. It’s always the rise to get [it].

“With this North American Championship, I want the opportunity to take that and elevate it, make it mean more than it already does; make it more important than it already is. I haven’t had that chance yet to have the true title reign that I’m proud of. So I think that is my goal with this title to take that North American title and make it mean so so so much more.”

And in order to accomplish that, Gargano plans on elevating the status of the title, which made its debut in the spring of 2018. “Growing up, the Intercontinental title was always like the work-rate title,” Gargano said. “There’s always a title you would look at as like, this is the match I got to see. That is my goal with the North American Title is to take that title and make it the most work-rate title you’ve ever seen in your life.”

And looking at the current NXT roster, there are plenty of contenders that can truly help make the North American Championship the title to keep your eyes on for great matches. Gargano himself has a few ideas of wrestlers he’d like to face in the ring. “The first name that pops in my head is Kyle O’Reilly. Johnny Gargano vs. Kyle O’Riley hasn’t happened one on one in an NXT ring. Another guy, I will say it’s Kushida. I have never faced Kushida in my life, it feels like mash up very well. We never crossed paths. So I think that would be a match as well. That could be something very special.”

You can see the North American Champion Johnny Gargano on Wednesday nights on NXT, which airs on USA at 8 PM / 7 PM CT.

For more with Gargano, make sure to tune into the November 12 episode of GameSpot’s wrestling podcast Wrestle Buddies. We will talk to the North American Champion about his feelings about NXT, his brief stint on Raw and Smackdown, and why he loves wheels so much. Additionally, make sure to check out the November 5 episode when we talk to former WWE announcer Lilian Garcia.

Xbox Series S Has 364 GB Usable Space, Leaker Says

The hard drive space of consoles has become a hot-button issue for gamers over the last few years, as the size of games and updates has ballooned into the hundreds of gigabytes. For those who expect to pick up the Xbox Series S in a couple of days, a leaker has revealed some potentially upsetting news: the console only has 364 GB of usable space.

That represents about 73% of the console’s 500 GB solid-state drive, which is around the usual fraction of usable space for consoles. However, since the size of popular games like Call of Duty: Warzone can be over 100 GB–with patches that come in at dozens of gigabytes–that means that most players will have to be very judicious about what games they keep on hand. The Xbox Series X will ship with a 1 TB SSD, with 802 GB in the way of usable space.

Microsoft has developed some features to help with the limited space. For one, players can store games on an external hard drive, and backward compatible games can be played directly from that drive. For another, games can be 30% smaller on the Xbox Series S by targeting 1440p instead of 4K.

A similar leak revealed that the PlayStation 5 has around 650 GB of usable storage space on its 825 GB solid-state drive. Both consoles support expandable SSD storage, with Microsoft opting to develop plug-and-play SSD cards that slot into the back of the Xbox Series X and Series S. To expand the PS5’s memory, players can theoretically buy standard NVMe SSDs, but Sony needs to approve them, and the company hasn’t yet listed any compatible drives ahead of launch.

The Xbox Series X and Series S release on November 10, and the PS5 comes out on November 12. If you’re still trying to figure out which one to buy, check out our preview of the Xbox Series X and our hands-on impressions with the PS5.

Snag This Steam Game For Free For A Limited Time

Aside from the usual monthly giveaways via PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, and Prime Gaming, we’re not seeing as many free game offers as we were earlier this year, when developers were giving away their games to provide free entertainment for those stuck inside. But you can still find some nice freebies from time to time, and the latest is a great strategy and resource management game from 2015: Kingdom. In honor of the series’ five-year anniversary, publisher Raw Fury is giving away Kingdom for free on Steam until this Friday, November 6, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. If you miss this deadline, you can also claim the game via Humble Bundle, which is giving away Kingdom Steam keys for free until Monday, November 9. To get the game at Humble, you have to be signed up for its newsletter.

Steam is giving away the classic version of Kingdom, which was later reworked and re-released with new content as Kingdom: New Lands in 2016. Kingdom is a 2D side-scrolling game where you play as a king or queen on horseback, moving left or right through the world as you build up your kingdom by enlisting people to join you, gathering resources, and building defenses against the creatures that threaten your land at night. Though GameSpot hasn’t reviewed Kingdom: Classic, it currently has over 13,000 Very Positive reviews on Steam, so it’ll be worth grabbing while it’s free and checking out.

As part of Kingdom’s five-year anniversary celebrations on Steam, other games from the series are steeply discounted this week, including Kingdom: New Lands for only $3 (down from $15). If you try out Kingdom in the next day or so and decide you like it, it might be worth grabbing New Lands while it’s so cheap because of the “abundance of new content” it adds. You can also buy the sequel to New Lands, Kingdom: Two Crowns, for $12 (down from $20) during the sale. Released in 2018, Kingdom: Two Crowns adds a brand-new campaign mode, including local and online co-op. You can check out the full Kingdom franchise sale on Steam.

Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber, An Alien Costume, And More Movie Props Available In Online Auction

What better way to get your mind off the still-pending election than with some early holiday shopping? Prop Store, an expansive operation based in London and Los Angeles whose focus is right there in its name, has announced it will be hosting another auction of entertainment memorabilia across December 1 and 2. The shop has “over 25,000 combined square feet of archived props and costumes,” meaning the upcoming auction’s 912 lots spanning two days will likely have something for everyone who is looking to buy–and also willing to spend. Information on bidding, registering for phone bidding, or registering for absentee bidding can be found on Prop Store’s website.

The catalog for items is available both as a physical print book to purchase for $50 or as a PDF that can be freely viewed now. But if $50 makes you balk, this auction may be too rich for your blood. Also note that as the auction is taking place out of the London outpost, prices will be in pounds, which–in addition to shipping to the US–means prices in North America will be a bit higher.

Just flipping around the 254-page catalog, the highest priced items look to be things that could either finish very specific collections or get you started on amassing conversation pieces: Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber from Revenge of the Sith is on the docket, starting at £40,000/$52,000 USD (estimated to climb to £120,000/$155,000 USD); there’s an Alien 3 xenomorph warrior in complete costume for £25,000 (expected to climb to £70,000); and there’s also Neo’s complete costume from The Matrix Reloaded for £20,000 (expected to climb to £60,000). If you’re the patient type, you could scoop up Neo’s costume, and then wear it while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a console?

Somewhat more modestly priced are Bruce Lee’s outdoor-filming nunchaku from 1972’s Game of Death and Brad Pitt’s red leather Tyler Durden jacket from 1999’s Fight Club–both starting at £10,000. Then there’s also Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bloodied T-shirt from 1984’s The Terminator, John Candy’s bowling ball from 1989’s Uncle Buck, and Pat Roach’s sword from 1988’s Willow–all starting at £2,500.

If you’re not in the market for a random sword or garment, the wolfman mask used for stunts from 2010’s The Wolfman is a comparatively reasonable £1,500 (about $2,000) and two, count ’em, two different listings for flip phones used by Leonardo DiCaprio in movies: Who can forget those classic scenes from The Departed and The Wolf of Wall Street when Leo is placing a call via cellular telephone?

These highlighted entries barely scratch the surface of what will be available. Even if you aren’t in the mood to buy, the catalog is bursting with detailed and deeply researched item blurbs–given the sheer amount of stuff that will be coming on the block, a casual read can yield some great movie trivia. And learning that is far cheaper than buying anything.

What to Expect from Amazon’s Black Friday Sale This Year

With people still cautious about heading out to shop this year, and many places still not fully open yet, online shopping for Black Friday is poised to be bigger than ever. And of course, that means Amazon stands to reap the rewards better than any other online merchant. As for what we can expect from Amazon Black Friday 2020, years past have taught us to expect massive Black Friday discounts on just about everything, as well as aggressive price-matching of other retailer’s sales.

Retail Me Not Cash Back Day

Beginning November 5 and running for 48 hours, Amazon is one of the participating retailers in RetailMeNot’s annual Cash Back Day promotion. If you have an account with RetailMeNot, you can get “up to 20% cash back on purchases” at participating retailers. Amazon is one of many participating outlets, so you can actually start your Black Friday Amazon savings early with cash back on qualifying purchases.

Amazon Black Friday

Prime Day was delayed this year, so instead of a 2-day savings event in the middle of summer, we instead got a 2-day savings event in the middle of October. It was pretty decent, but it felt like Amazon was holding off on a lot of stuff since Prime Day came in so close to Black Friday.

In a lot of ways, Prime Day was the unofficial kick-off of the Black Friday deals season for Amazon. The best deals during Prime Day were, as always, on Amazon’s own devices. Expect to see those prices return for Black Friday. There are also new Echo devices coming out November 15, so there’s a chance we’ll see some kind of deal on the fourth-generation Echo. I don’t imagine we’ll see discounts, but I do think we’ll see some bundled deals on the new Echoes.

Amazon 4KTV Black Friday Deals

This is where the real savings are going to be. Last year there were some great 4KTV deals at Amazon, and they even bled into Cyber Monday. We’ve already seen some great deals on 4KTVs from Best Buy in its Black Friday preview, including a $1399 55″ LG CX OLED 4KTV deal that’s still live, along with plenty of others. That LG set is actually slightly cheaper on Amazon right now, and it includes a free LG XBOOM speaker with purchase.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=lg-oled-smart-tvs-with-alexa”]

Beyond those amazing Black Friday deals already live, expect to see tons more chances to save at Amazon.

Amazon Video Game Black Friday Deals

After 4KTVs and Amazon’s own devices, video game deals will abound. Best Buy dropped its Black Friday deals sneak preview, and Walmart has also given us a glance into its upcoming deals. The $299 Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle is back at Best Buy, and will probably return to Amazon, too. Unlike past years, this time around it comes with the most recent hardware revision of the Nintendo Switch and a 3 month trial subscription to Nintendo Online.

While PS5 and Xbox Series X deals will probably be non-existent, keep an eye on deals games for PS4 and Xbox One. With backwards compatibility being a real thing this gen, you can stock up on games and not have to worry about swapping between consoles to play them.

Also keep an eye out for PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deals.

More Amazon Black Friday Deals

Keep an eye out for old reliables like Instant Pots, Roombas, and Black Friday subscription deals. Deals on LEGO and other toys and collectibles have featured prominently in the past, as well. While we generally don’t feature the category, apparel is a massive force in Amazon Black Friday savings, so if you’re looking to buy some new clothes Black Friday deals are where it’s at.

We’re keeping track of all the best Black Friday 2020 deals as they happen, so keep an eye on this space for more updates.

PS5 Reportedly Has Just Over 650GB Usable Storage Space

The PlayStation 5 launches in just over a week on November 12, but Sony still hasn’t concretely stated just how much of the SSD will be available for you to install games on. According to at least one leak of the system information from a PS5, it’s going to be just over 650GB.

The PS5 ships with a custom 825GB SSD, but not all of that will be free for game installations. The console’s operating system needs some of that space from the get-go. That’s why a screenshot from a video showing the PS5’s system menu, shared by noted leaker Okami13 and reported by GamesRadar, displays 648GB free out of a total 667Gb available, which could include the space required for the free Astro’s Playroom install.

That’s less than the Xbox Series X, but that was always likely to be the case considering the PS5’s smaller SSD overall. The Xbox Series X ships with a 1TB SSD, with its operating system reducing available storage down to 802GB. That means the PS5’s OS is slightly more efficient when it comes to space required, but still doesn’t leave you with a lot of room for large game installations.

Both the Xbox Series X and PS5 support expandable SSD storage but approach the matter in two different ways. Microsoft has partnered with Seagate to develop plug-and-play SSD cards that slot into the back of the Xbox Series X and Series S, with 1TB cards available at launch. Sony, however, is giving players the option to use off-the-shelf NVMe SSDs to expand PS5 storage. These SSDs will need to be approved by Sony beforehand, and right now the company hasn’t listed any compatible drives ahead of launch.

The Xbox Series X and Series S launch on November 10, with the PS5 hot on its heels with a release date on November 12. You can check out our impressions of both next-gen consoles, with previews of the Xbox Series X and hands-on impressions of both the PS5 and its new DualSense controller.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon Review Roundup

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is out next week, bringing with it a brand-new protagonist in the form of Kasuga Ichiban. Reviews have gone live for Sega and RGG Studio’s new franchise entry, which swaps the bare-knuckle brawling of previous games for turn-based action and strategy.

Reviews have so far praised the change of pace and Ichiban, with many critics agreeing that the new face of the story-driven series is an absolute delight and ready to forge a legend on par with the Dragon of Dojima.

In GameSpot’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon review, we scored it a 9/10. Critic Michael Higham said that the game “is a passing of the torch, and a fantastic entry in a beloved franchise that proves that it’s in good hands with Kasuga Ichiban.”

We’ve got several reviews listed below as well, and you can also check out GameSpot sister-site Metacritic to see what other critics have to say.

  • Game: Yakuza: Like a Dragon
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (PS5, Xbox Series X/S Versions Coming)
  • Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio
  • Release date: November 10
  • Price: $60 / £52 / $68 AUD

Eurogamer – No score

“Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a good game – sometimes it’s okay, sometimes it’s great, sometimes it made me groan. It runs the full gamut of emotions, from boredom to disbelief. The will to reinvent itself is there, and that means not everything works – whether you’ll enjoy it or not depends on what aspects you care about the most.” — Malindy Hetfeld [Full Review]

Rock Paper Shotgun – No score

“I’ve spent the last three years or so lapping up the original six Yakuza games, having only recently finished up the last entry with teary eyes. Up until now, I thought Yakuza: 0 would always be my favorite, but the way things are going Kasuga is poised to wrench away its crown. He will no doubt pop it on with a big grin and a triumphant cross of the arms.” — Ed Thorn [Full Review]

IGN – 7/10

“Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s colorful turn-based combat, engaging lead characters, and detail-rich setting make for a refreshingly different and mostly thrilling installment in the long-running Japanese crime series. However, pathfinding annoyances and a number of escalating difficulty spikes in its closing chapters made completing its story feel like much more of a repetitive slog than any of the previous games. While I applaud the developers for daring to transform its established brawling into more tactically complex team-based battles, the grueling progression system it brings along with it means that Yakuza: Like a Dragon ultimately takes some bold steps in a new direction for the series but neglects to completely maintain its balance.” — Tristan Ogilvie [Full Review]

Polygon – No score

“What Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has created is an ambitious new entry in a franchise that has managed to endure for over 15 years. Series veterans might be turned off by this new direction, but it manages to retain the same essence as its predecessors. And by the end, Ichiban Kasuga and Yakuza: Like a Dragon both prove to be a worthy successor to the franchise.” — Kazuma Hashimoto [Full Review]

GamesRadar – 4.5/5

“Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a confident step in a different direction for Ryu Ga Gotoku’s series. An impactful combat system filled with whacky abilities stands tall against the action-based formula RGG perfected over nearly two decades, and newcomer Ichiban Kasuga and his friends come together as an excellent cast to leave a lasting impression. Like a Dragon might fall into genre traps of a prolonged main scenario and pretty lackluster dungeon design, but the ever-charming side stories maintain that perfect Yakuza combination of funny and meaningful.” — Hirun Cryer [Full Review]

Trusted Reviews – 4.5/5

“Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a triumph, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio should be commended for redefining such a seasoned franchise, despite the backlash it might have received. Leaving Kazuma Kiryu behind hasn’t been easy, but Ichiban Kasuga and company have crafted a compelling path into the future that I cannot wait to see continue.” — Jade King [Full Review]

Siliconera – 9/10

“Much like Kasuga’s dragonfish tattoo feels like a quirky but faithful successor to Kiryu’s dragon, Yakuza: Like a Dragon rebuilds the franchise by leaving a lot of it in place. The new protagonist doesn’t feel like he has seven games of story in him, but his eagerness to join the fray could carry the next few entries. And hey, if you want another game with the classic combat style, there’s always a chance of a Judgment sequel.” — Graham Russell [Full Review]
