    MindsEye is a GTA/Cyberpunk-ish game about shooting AI robots, and its co-ceo claims there’s “concerted effort” involving evil bots to make people think it’s rubbish


    Yesterday, Build A Rocket Boy – the studio helmed by Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies – showed off some gameplay from the GTA-ish, Cyberpunk-ish, FarCry map editor-ish action thriller MindsEye, which is set to let you shoot a bunch of evil AI robots. Now, BARB’s co-ceo has claimed that there’s a real life “concerted effort to trash the game and the studio” going on, involving evil bots.

    Yep, he seemingly just suggested these things were the case via some responses to players on the game’s Discord server, as you’d expect an exec to casually do.

    Mark Gerhard, the co-ceo in question, goes by the handle MMG in the server, and was asked during a bit of back and forth about the game with fans: “Do you think that all the people who reacted negatively were financed by someone?” He responded: “100%”

    Naturally, folks were a bit taken aback by an exec at a studio seemingly suggesting negative reception for a game had been paid for in some fashion, but Gerhard went on to add: “doesn’t take much to guess who”. A user in the server was quick to comment: “a co-CEO for a studio implying another studio is paying previewers to talk negatively about your game is an absolutely wild comment to make in a public environment in any situation”, to which the exec replied: “Not wild when it’s true…..”

    Fans and content creators in the server who’d expressed criticism of MindsEye or Build A Rocket Boy then started to question whether Gerhard might be talking about them, leading the co-ceo to respond to such questions being asked about a user with the handle Cyber Boi.

    “Folks I never said Cyber Boi was being paid by anyone,” Gerhard wrote, “I just said that there is a concerted effort by some people that don’t want to see Leslie or Build A Rocket Boy to be successful that are making a concerted effort to trash the game and the studio. Its pretty easy to see the bots and the repeated replies to any content that we put out.”

    GTA YouTuber GameRoll then asked him directly: “So just to clarify – you believe that individuals, be it content creators or otherwise, have been paid off to criticise Mindseye?” “No I never said that,” Gerhard responded, “I do KNOW that there are bot farms posting negative comments and dislikes.”

    VG247 has reached out to Build A Rocket Boy and MindsEye publisher IO Interactive for comment.

    Are you keen to give MindsEye a go when it arrives on June 10? Let us know below!

  • All Potions in Dead Rails – Tier List and How to Make Them

    All Potions in Dead Rails – Tier List and How to Make Them


    In the current update of Dead Rails, the developers introduced a liquid system that lets players mix different liquids to create Potions. You can then drink these Potions to gain various buffs and perks that will help you on your journey. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to get all Potions in Dead Rails, where to find the ingredients, and what each potion does. Whether you’re looking for healing, fire damage, or full-on necromancy, this is your starting point.

    All Potion Effects and Recipes in Dead Rails

    Angel Potion, Devil Potion, Holy Water and Primordial Soup Potions from the Dead Rails Roblox experience
    Few, but very strong.

    The table below lists all the potion recipes in Dead Rails, along with the ingredients you’ll need to make them. Crafting is simple: combine the right substances on the ground, then use an empty Glass Bottle to scoop up the mixture. Be quick, as they evaporate fast once exposed to the air.

    Potion Potion Recipes Effect
    Unicorn Blood
    +
    Blood
    Angel Tears can heal all injuries almost immediately.
    Unicorn Blood
    +
    Kerosene
    Once ignited, it rapidly engulfs the entire area in flames.
    Best used by the Arsonist class.
    Unicorn Blood
    +
    Water
    It very quickly kills all enemies around you with green flames,
    while allied players remain unaffected.
    Primordial Souop Potion from the Dead Rails Roblox experience Unicorn Blood
    +
    Milk
    Corpses soaked in Primordial Soup will come back to life and
    fight on behalf of the player.

    As we can see here, all Potions in Dead Rails require you to have Unicorn Blood. Once you have Unicorn Blood, you will have to combine it with different liquids to produce different Potions. We will explain in detail how to acquire all of these materials and liquids in the section below.

    How to Make Potions in Dead Rails

    There are four potions you can find in Dead Rails: Angel Tears, Devil Tears, Holy Water, and Primordial Soup. To make them, you’ll need to mix different ingredients and store the result in Glass Bottles, which you can collect while exploring.

    Some key ingredients you’ll need are Water, Milk, Blood, Kerosene, Zombie Blood, and Unicorn Blood. Most of these can be found while scavenging, though Zombie Blood and Unicorn Blood must be collected from the bodies of the undead or unicorns. Here is a list of all ingredients:

    Ingredient How to Get
    Water Obtained in a bottle during Rainy Weather.
    Milk You can get it by searching houses in the Urban Town Areas or by choosing the Milkman Class at the start.
    Blood You can collect it by killing non-zombie NPCs and drawing their blood.
    Kerosene You can extract Kerosene by carefully draining it from a Molotov.
    Zombie Blood Obtained by killing any zombie and draining its blood.
    Unicorn Blood You can get it by either striking a liquid puddle with lightning or by collecting blood from a dead unicorn.

    To collect liquids in Dead Rails during draining or other specific events, you’ll need a Glass Bottle. This new item lets you store liquids in the game. You can find Glass Bottles all over the map, either empty or already filled with something. Just pick them up and toss them in your sack, then use them whenever you need. Once you’ve got empty bottles, just head over to any liquid puddles like Unicorn Blood, Normal Blood, or Rain, and press the LMB to fill them up. When you want to pour the liquid out, simply press F to spill it onto the ground as puddles.

    Dead Rails Potion Tier List

    Below is a Tier List of all Potions in Dead Rails, ranked by usefulness and split into the best for solo runs and the best for group gameplay. It goes well with our DR class tier list.

    Best with a Group Best when Alone
    Dead Rails Potions Tier List for group gameplay

    Angel Tears are, sadly, just a big Heal. They do not offer much more than that, and you can already heal with bandages. Holy Water is good, but its effect is just a worse Devil Tears, so it is near the bottom. The Primordial Soup is amazing for dealing with hordes of mutated and non-regular zombies, alone or with a group. And lastly, the Devil Tears are amazing for destroying large groups of zombies fast, and the Potion itself is not hard to craft.

    And that is all for my Dead Rails Potions Guide. Check out our Dead Rails Codes for goodies that can help you get potions faster. Lastly, check out our challenge guide for DR.

  • Monopoly like game with parents and children (with parents that make children), live and die, and take turns at being the parents and the children


    I am looking for a board game along the lines of Monopoly, but, where people in the game can make children and take turns being the parents and the children.

    In the middle of the board is a "year clock", that ticks forward one year with each go.

    In each go, people take cards like in Monopoly to see what happens as they move around the circuit.

    There, could be, many variations of this game.

    Where can I find such a game?

    Thanks.

    EDIT: I could have made this a really nice game, but, didn’t, have time, to write down all the ideas.

    People could also collect ideas, teachings, changes, lessons learned, desires, and other things, as gadgets (in the game), which may affect how people move through the game.

    There could also be an AI-powered board fate controlled, smartphone, placed in the middle of the board, so that players could play a large infinitude of games with the same board and pieces (the center AI could be powered through an app (and there could also be custom apps for given boards, and users not having a board and pieces could copy them at home with material based on standard board compendium descriptions provided on websites).

    Thanks.

  • Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Nintendo Switch 2 edition will make you fork out for DLC separately, but hey, it’s not like you’ll already have spent a lot on other Switch 2 stuff

    Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Nintendo Switch 2 edition will make you fork out for DLC separately, but hey, it’s not like you’ll already have spent a lot on other Switch 2 stuff


    Since Nintendo revealed its new console, the prices of Switch 2 itself, Mario Kart World and the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour have all discourses.

    There’s even been some spamming of ‘DROP THE PRICE’ by fans in Treehouse livestream chats and some subtweeting by Reggie Fils-Aimé about the Welcome Tour not being free. It’s ok though, it’s not like if you get the Switch 2 edition of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll have to buy the DLC/expansion pass separately. Oh no, hang on, you do.

    Nintendo has confirmed as much in a statement to IGN, saying: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition does not include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass DLC. That DLC is available as a separate purchase.”

    Very to the point, but what it’ll mean for you depends on your current Breath of the Wild ownership status. If you already own the game on OG Switch as well as all its DLC, and opt to buy the $10 “upgrade pack” that turns it into the Switch 2 edition on that console, you’ll not need to buy the DLC again.

    However, if you don’t already own the DLC, just upgrading isn’t gonna hand it to you for free. The main folks affected by this are people who don’t own the game at all, and buy the Switch 2 edition, which will costs $70. Since it’s not included, they’ll end up paying $90 in total for Switch 2 Breath of the Wild plus DLC, since the game’s expansion pass costs $20.

    Is it that egregious a decision on its own? Not really, even if it’s kinda taking p**s with a game from 2017. However, when taken alongside all the other stuff I mentioned earlier, it does seem like Nintando kinda bumbling into kicking itself in the dick again from a PR perspective.

    Are you currently staring at your bank account wondering how you’re going to send half of your lide savings to Nintendo and still afford unimportant things like rent and food? Let us know below!
