Lies of P is the latest Souls-like to capture the hearts of fans, letting you play as the famous Pinocchio in a cruel, dark Belle Époque world. The team at NEOWIZ have been supporting the game greatly since its launch last week, with the title’s 1.2 patch now going live – adding support for the DualSense on PC alongside dozens of other changes.

Releasing the patch notes onto its Steam page, the Lies of P developers officially detailed update 1.2, which brings with it:

  • Field Monster Balance Changes
  • Decrease the HP of all 3 types of Dimensional Butterflies
  • Adjusted the rewards for some monsters
  • Boss Monster Balance Changes
  • System Changes Related to the Character Progression Reset
  • Players will now be able to carry more weight for each point spent on Capacity
  • Successfully performing the Fable Art ‘Guard Parry' will now break the monster's stance
  • Now supports the DUALSHOCK 4 & DualSense controllers on Windows OS devices

This is but a short list of the dozens of changes brought about thanks to patch 1.2, with some of the most significant adjustments being done to certain enemies and their difficulty levels. While some may see it as a nerf, many SoulsBorne fans seem to agree that the changes made were necessary – and so it is good to see the team at NEOWIZ listening to the community.

Following the release of the demo back in June ahead of launch, NEOWIZ conducted many changes to Lies of P based on fan feedback. It seems as though they are continuing to keep an eye on the community and their thoughts – ultimately making for a better overall gaming experience.

Overwatch update nerfs Mercy following major changes https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/overwatch-update-nerfs-mercy-following-major-changes/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/overwatch-update-nerfs-mercy-following-major-changes/#respond Thu, 05 Oct 2017 11:11:22 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=349146 Back in August, Blizzard announced that it would be making some major changes to one of its Overwatch characters.

Back in August, Blizzard announced that it would be making some major changes to one of its Overwatch characters. The balance update focussed on Mercy and made major changes to her skillset. Now that these changes have been out for a while, it is time for further balancing tweaks, which will nerf Mercy’s resurrection ability.

During the August balance patch, Mercy’s resurrection ability was changed from an ultimate ability to a regular ability. Rather than resurrecting all dead players in a 15 meter radius, the ability was retooled to only target one player at a time within a 5 meter radius. A 30 second cool down was also attached to this ability.

With resurrection turned into a regular move, Mercy needed a new ultimate ability. Valkyrie is Mercy’s new ultimate move and it allows her to fly and makes the staff more effective for a certain amount of time. It also allows the staff to chain across nearby players to boost/heal them all at once.

That’s not all Valkyrie does though, it also reduced Mercy’s resurrection cool down from 30 seconds to just 10 seconds, allowing for lots of resurrections in quick succession. Over on the Overwatch Public Test Realm, a change has now been made. While Valkyrie is active, Mercy’s resurrection range is now doubled to 10 meters but the cool down remains the same at 30 seconds.

KitGuru Says: I haven’t had a chance to try the new changes to Mercy just yet but I can see how that reduced cool down could be a bit of an issue balance-wise. I imagine that made Mercy a favourite pick for the last month or so. The nerf is currently only live on the test servers, so things could still change but don’t expect Mercy to remain as effective forever.

Valve has patched the CS:GO R8 Revolver https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/valve-has-patched-the-csgo-r8-revolver/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/valve-has-patched-the-csgo-r8-revolver/#comments Sat, 12 Dec 2015 14:00:12 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=278069 This week, Valve really shook up the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community with a new gun, the R8 Revolver.

This week, Valve really shook up the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community with a new gun, the R8 Revolver. The gun was swiftly discovered to be insanely powerful and accurate, with massive base damage and the ability for one shot kills. Now after much feedback, Valve has patched the gun to make it slightly less overpowered.

The revolver's damage has been reduced from 115 to 86 and it now takes 0.4 seconds longer to fire on its left click mode. The revolver has two modes of fire, a slow shot which packs more power using the left click, or rapid fire using the right click, which is less accurate and less powerful but useful if you need to ‘spray and pray'.

r8_revolver.0.0

Valve gave some details in a CS:GO blog post, which said: “While it typically takes more time to generate enough data to drive an update (and gameplay updates are always a bit disruptive), in this case it’s clear that we got the damage wrong and can respond immediately”.

“So today we’re updating the R8 Revolver to bring its values to be more in line with other weapons: among other changes, its damage has been reduced and it takes slightly longer to fire.”

KitGuru Says: I had a chance to play around with the CS:GO revolver and while it was fun to experiment with in its overpowered state, I'm glad Valve has taken it down a notch. Have any of you had a chance to try the new revolver in CSGO? What did you think of it?

The Halo Needler is now a real dart gun https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/brendan-morgan/the-halo-needler-is-now-a-real-dart-gun/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/brendan-morgan/the-halo-needler-is-now-a-real-dart-gun/#comments Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:51:51 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=235935 There are many iconic guns in the Halo series, but perhaps one of the strangest was the Covenants Needler (or Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher as you may know it).

There are many iconic guns in the Halo series, but perhaps one of the strangest was the Covenants Needler (or Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher as you may know it). It fired piercing needles that embedded into a target and then after a second or so each dart exploded with predictably bad results for the target. Now as much fun as a real version of this would be, I'm not sure it would be legal at all, so we have to settle for the next best thing, a replica Needler that shoots foam darts at the target/co-workers/friends/Covenant.

The replica is being made by BOOMco, a subsidiary of Mattel. It was shown off at the 2015 New York Toy Fair and is a fully licensed product from the Halo series and while not an exact replica, it does fire foam darts and it won't cost you $600 and a lot of time and effort to put it together. So maybe we can cut it some slack, for not looking quite the same as the in-game version.
Needler
Sadly the darts from this Needler are also not going to hone in on enemy targets like the real Needler, but they will stick to some surfaces and probably surprise whoever or whatever they are fired at. If the specs are the same as BOOMco's other dart guns, such as the aptly named “Spinsanity 3X”, then this should be able to fling darts up to 70ft and dish out 10 round battery-powered clips at around the same rate as most Nerf guns.

While this hasn't been released on the market just yet it should be coming soon as the model on display was fully functioning and ready to go. The Spinsanity 3X as well, should be coming soon and as the name suggests, it features three battery-powered clips with 10 rounds in each, for a little extra firepower.

KitGuru Says: In one of my previous workplaces there were various massive Nerf guns all around the offices and most Friday evenings involved large battles between different teams, fun times! One of these would probably go down pretty well there. Anyone else want to get their hands on one of these Needlers?
