Xbox Game Pass didn’t stop Gears 5 from outselling Gears of War 4
https://www.pcgamer.com/xbox-game-pass-didnt-stop-gears-5-from-outselling-gears-of-war-4/
Gears 5’s inclusion on the Xbox Game Pass service didn’t stop it from outselling Gears of War 4, said Microsoft executive vice president of gaming Phil Spencer at the XO19 event this week.
In a wide-ranging interview with Eurogamer Spencer said that “Gears 5 sold well for us. It sold better than Gears 4. And we feel good about it.” Specifically, Spencer indicated that having the title available at launch on both Game Pass and standalone didn’t detract from Microsoft’s view of the title’s success. It’s a notable data point for those who want games to stay available as standalone releases rather than be pushed into exclusive subscription service models—showing that the demand for standalone is very much there.

GOG has three new week long sales:

Steam has two daily deals:

And Fanatical there are two new deals:

https://www.pcgamer.com/amds-latest-radeon-19112-gpu-driver-is-tuned-for-star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/
If you own a Radeon graphics card and plan on playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, there's a new driver update you may want to install. AMD's new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition (19.11.2) adds support for the game, which basically means its optimized to deliver the best experience.
(...)
It's a fairly minor driver update. Other than adding support for Fallen Order, the 19.11.2 driver package squashes a bug related to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds—specifically, it addresses stuttering and performance drops on certain map areas and cities.

Terminator: Resistance has just been released and it appears that it is fully moddable from the get-go. What this basically means is that modders can overhaul the game’s low-resolution textures. They can also replace the red lasers projectiles that the some Terminators fire with purple ones.
Now the first mod for Terminator: Resistance is a bit simple. This mod basically removes emission from side of M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle aka Endo Rifle. According to modder ‘WyRuZzaH’, this will make the game a bit more authentic than before.
>> This mod is available from Nexus Mods.

The Elder Scrolls: Total War mod releases its big 2.0 update
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-elder-scrolls-total-war-mod-releases-its-big-20-update/
After months of teasing (and work), the modders behind The Elder Scrolls: Total War for Medieval II: Kingdoms have released their 2.0 update. It now includes the fourth era of the Elder Scrolls world, the setting for the civil war in Skyrim that defines The Elder Scrolls V. The update also adds the Stormcloaks and the dark elf Great House Sadras as playable factions. This is the “last big update” for the mod, which has been in development since 2015, and therefore uses the objectively superior old Total War naming scheme. It also has a launch trailer.
