Another month means another round of freebies for PlayStation Plus subscribers. January in particular signals a new year for PlayStation owners, and Sony is kicking things off with a handful of games that may or may not excite them. The latest batch of free PlayStation Plus games will be available from January 1, 2019 to February 5, 2019 and it consists of Steep , Portal Knight , Zone of the Enders HD Collection, Amplitude , Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion , and Super Mutant Alien Assau

These titles are present across PS4, PS3, and PS Vita platforms, ensuring that consumers are looked after across a wide range of Sony consoles. The offering overall is "meh," but there is value in what's being given away in January 2019. Despite being lackluster, it can be argued that it's still better than December 2018's PlayStation Plus lineup – thanks to Ste

When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir

We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg

In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat

The Kuva Grattler is the only weapon on this list that could be classified as a "lackluster" weapon. This Archwing weapon is effectively a flak cannon, firing explosive shells at targets that deal moderate damage. At least, they're supposed to. For whatever reason, Digital Extremes decided that the Kuva variant's base damage should be halved. A Kuva progenitor bonus offsets this negative, but is the farm for a 60% element worth

These games will appeal to new PlayStation 4 owners that only just got their consoles during the holiday season, although the range of software isn't as appealing as November 2018's PlayStation Plus offering. Sony also wants Warframe News|https://warframebase.Com/ fans to know that they can secure the Warframe: PlayStation Plus Booster Pack III until January 15, 2019. This comes with 100 Platinum, 100,000 Credits, Quanta (a Corpus laser rifle), Quanta Obsidian Skin, 7-Day Affinity Booster, and a 7-Day Credit Booster to add further value to the PlayStation Plus members

For a Mastery Rank 15 weapon, the Kuva Ogris is a solid workhorse weapon that can also serve as a primer for Condition Overload weapons. Every shot deals 687 radial Blast damage and has a 47% status chance, although the Ogris has a low 9% critical chance and three-round magaz

Known by some as the "dubba Stubbas," the Kuva Twin Stubbas is a textbook example of what a bullet hose secondary looks like. They have a moderate fire rate of 10, great status chance, solid critical stats, and good base damage for an archetype that fires dozens of bullets a sec

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore

In either form, the Equinox Prime is meant to function as a support frame, so she’ll be suited to join groups. Like any frame, she can function on her own, but the Equinox Prime thrives when empowering others in battle and throwing her crowd control abilities aro

With the right build, this gun can deal over one million burst DPS without accounting for Hunter Munition's Slash procs. All of this plays nicely with this gun's unique Exlius Mod Fomorian Accelerant, allowing the gun's projectiles to ricochet four times. A single charged shot is enough to clear a hallway with this gun and leave tougher opponents with multiple Slash pr
