The strangest things will just drop onto the internet's collective lap. As highlighted on Twitter by MegaDriveShock, a whopping 272 page PDF of classified Sega of America documents from the mid-90s has simply materialised on the Sega Retro wiki, a community-ran database full of info that aims to "cover everything possible about Sega from the 1940s to today."
>> That statement didn't age well.

Counter-Strike 2 introduces the feature we've all been waiting for: grenade inspections
https://www.pcgamer.com/counter-strike-2-introduces-the-feature-weve-all-been-waiting-for-grenade-inspections/
The limited beta for Valve's upcoming Counter-Strike 2 has been slowly cycling through maps, with Dust 2 and Mirage having come and gone in competitive mode, and the latest is another OG, Nuke. Main takeaway from the new version: where have all the cars gone?
(...)
Most important of all, however, is the addition of a new animation. For the first time in Counter-Strike history, the player can now inspect their grenades. If you don't play Counter-Strike, the guns, knives and gloves all have an in-game inspection button, whereby the avatar will hold the item at various angles so you can see how lovely the paint job is.

Terraria is gearing up for its 1.4.5 patch, the latest major update in 12 years of continued support from developer Re-Logic. If you're thinking to yourself, "Wait, I thought this game got its final update" already, you would be right⁠—Re-Logic has been considering moving on to its next project for around eight years now.

Starfield having only four romanceable NPCs is 'a good thing', says Dragon Age veteran

Starfield will have over 1,000 planets to explore but only four souls to romance. (...)
"I'd say this is a good thing," Gaider tweeted, referring to the four romance options, "and hopefully speaks of a 'quality over quantity' mindset, at least on the narrative side." He was replying to a tweet of our own, which pointed out the whole 1,000 planets with four romances contrast.

Diablo 4 players stumble on rare and impossibly large Butcher, the game's real Lord of Terror

As a wise man once said: Bigger. Any school child can tell you that the worth of a thing is directly commensurate with its size, and that expands to Diablo 4 too. How else do you explain the fervent interest generated by Reddit user Ironheart_777's discovery (via Icy Veins) of the world's biggest Butcher, a recklessly large version of one of Diablo's most infamous and deadly enemies?

Final Fantasy 14's new minion is so horrendously underpowered, players are wondering if it's bugged
https://www.pcgamer.com/final-fantasy-14s-new-minion-is-so-horrendously-underpowered-players-are-wondering-if-its-bugged/
Final Fantasy 14's new seasonal Make it Rain Campaign event has dropped. The event lets players earn 50% more Manderville Gold Saucer Points (MGP) from the Gold Saucer for its duration, which can be used to buy a bunch of cool rewards including emotes, hairstyles, and a 4-seater airship. However, its quest reward has people scratching their heads on the game's subreddit.

Even though they're smaller, Overwatch 2's story missions still won't be seasonal

The hits just keep coming for Overwatch 2's PvE ambitions. Its initial plans—which included talent trees and long-term progression—were scrapped in May. Then we found out they'd be charging $15 for a less elaborate version of its promised story campaign. Now, as reported by Gamesradar, they'll be released at a snail's pace.

Persona 3 Reload's all-new English voices have me worried about my favourite boy
https://www.pcgamer.com/persona-3-reloads-all-new-english-voices-have-me-worried-about-my-favourite-boy/
The Persona series has a rich tradition of suddenly replacing its English voice actors. Kanji Tatsumi got a new voice in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Tae Takemi got one in Persona 5 Royal, and we were forever deprived of this absolutely divine reading of "Aha! Is this our chance? " when Chie's voice actor changed in Persona 4 Golden. Now, Persona 3 Reload—the upcoming full-blown remake of Persona 3—is replacing its entire dang English voice cast, and we got our first listen to the new line-up in the game's new English Gameplay Reveal trailer. Bad news, everyone: Fuuka no longer sounds old enough to draw a pension.
