The latest OTA update “Marvel Snap” brings back the era of Ultron

It never disappoints: Shaun releases a brand new deckbuilding guide for (free), and the next day there is a recent balancing patch. These are simply the rules of the universe, my friends. This is one of the OTA (over-the-air) updates that comes several times a month and due to this fact actually adjusts some values on several tabs. That said, it is a game where adjusting values could make big changes to the way you play. Let’s have a look and see what’s in it, together with a little bit evaluation.

I feel this time we’ll have a look at nerfs first. Lady Deathstrike had a fairly successful makeover last month, and consequently, she’s appearing increasingly more regularly. It looks like it has been too successful, so it’s losing some of its power. Goes from 5-Cost 7-Power to 5-Cost 6-Power, with no change to her abilities. Since her skills largely determine her popularity, I feel she will handle even this loss of power.

Darkhawk’s latest nerf bumped it as much as 5-cost, which apparently still wasn’t enough to stop it. This means he’ll take a success elsewhere, and that can indeed occur this patch. Fortunately, his skills remain intact. It goes from 5-Cost 4-Power to 5-Cost 3-Power, and it’s one other balance change that I do not think will hurt the character an excessive amount of. I imagine we’ll still be eating so much of rocks.

OK, all you lovers here. The first one is a bit of a give and take, but I feel it’s good for the card in query. Leech’s skill change a while ago caused him to lose popularity, and it is easy to see why. Now he only hits cards face-up, and doing it on turn five just is not as world-record-breaking because it once was. With this in mind, Leech goes from 5-cost 3-power to 4-cost 2-power, making it much easier for him to get out earlier in the turn if you happen to want.

Psylocke and Sauron may join hands this time as they each see the previous nerfs roll back. Psylocke is once more a 2-cost, 2-power card, so that you’re now not limited to 1 power. Sauron also regains a Power point, going from 3-Cost 2-Power to 3-Cost 3-Power. offer for either side that will lead to Sauron’s return. Psylocke never really left, but I do not mind if she’s a little bit stronger.

There is little question that Klaw is usually a difficult card to make use of. Its cost is 5 and its power is 4. It has a continuous ability that adds power to the location to the right of it. Before this update, the amount of Power he added was +6. Now adds +8. Will this make individuals who have not used it before give it a probability? We’ll see, I suppose, but I feel he’ll proceed to be mostly omitted in favor of other, more versatile 5-cost cards.

The biggest buff on this update, and the one with the most potential to explode in the Second Supper’s face, is to Ultron. I understand the considering behind it. He is a giant bad player who was played so much, but over time for various reasons his level dropped significantly. I think this can change now. Previously he would summon Drones to fill each location, each with 1 cost 1 power, now he sends out several upgraded models with 1 cost 2 power. These can still be buffed Patriots and Kazars, so you’ll need as much as 4 additional Power points per location in comparison with previous locations. They are still vulnerable to aspects that break 1-cost cards, but it is a big move and I’d like to see the results.

That’s all for this OTA update to . What do you consider these changes? Will these affect any of your decks? Are you considering trying out any of the buffed cards? Let us know in the comments below!

If you want Back With , there are some nice quality of life changes and bug fixes in the latest update that went survive November 21, 2024. I’ll break them down below to let you already know what you are getting into.

Photo mode updates

Photo mode now has filters! And if you happen to do not know where images go in Photo Mode, wonder no more: the file path is now displayed in-game when taking screenshots, and filenames are simplified (with the date appended). You can now also bind arrow keys to input mappings.

Gameplay changes

Gameplay-wise, you’ll be able to now compare the new rings to the currently equipped rings in the slot, and the description for the Flash option is barely different. Some weapons have new icons to make it easier to tell them apart and make it easier to see where your companion’s spells are.

Extended dodge won’t be weirdly buggy with Mage’s Tower either. Some ability texts have been modified to be clearer (and accurate), and Antaam Champions deal barely more damage (as intended) and cases where enemies and teammates would get stuck in inaccessible places. Speaking of fixes, this brings us to the bugs that Patch 3 goals to eliminate.

Bug fixes

All kinds of bug fixes are included, but not all of them can have obvious or significant effects. The overall focus is on fixing issues encountered during cutscenes, interacting with meshes and polygons, in addition to some extremely minor balance adjustments to get certain elements working as intended.

In more detail, Rook will not suddenly change body shape or make strange facial expressions during or after certain cutscenes. Other cutscene issues have also been fixed, including strange stretchy capes and clothes showing through the character. The patch also addresses situations where music randomly stopped playing or incorrect sound effects or songs were playing.

Camera popup and stutter issues have also been fixed, and preferred HDR settings will now (finally) be saved accurately.

Fixed issues with the Codex, skill trees, quests, merchant inventory, quest objectives and cinematics, exploration, autosave loading, really shiny visuals, stat buffs, and weapon modifiers.

As a little bonus, some of the characters and environment textures have been tweaked to look higher.

There’s plenty to do in Thedas, and with this update landing, your journey should go a little smoother. Go back there, Rook, and test out that photo mode for me.

Full patch notes will be found on the website official blog post. BioWare has confirmed that one other patch may even be coming, with more details to be revealed soon.

The latest update for Sony surprisingly good PlayStation Portal adds a feature that individuals have been expecting since before the hand-held gaming device was released last yr. Starting today, PS Plus subscribers can now stream certain PS5 games via the cloud on their devices PS portal without console.

The best news from The Game Awards 2023

A yr ago, we got here across the PS portal and while it looked weird, it felt great and was a great device that allowed people to play PS5 games anywhere of their home via Wi-Fi. The $200 device works like a charm and is quietly among the finest things Sony has produced in a while. However, one big drawback to Portal was that for some reason it couldn’t stream games from the cloud. You needed to have a PS5 console, and when using the Portal, the PS5 console would activate and play the game remotely. This meant that PS Portal was more of an add-on than a console. But that is changing today.

On November 19, PlayStation released its latest update for PS Portal, and while it adds some nice quality of life improvements to audio settings, the true news is that starting today, players can play select PS5 games via the cloud and without a console. Theoretically, you’ll be able to now play PS5 games on the go, assuming you’ve gotten a Wi-Fi connection.

Sony says that with today’s update, you may be capable of stream over 120 PS5 games from the PS Plus games catalog on PS Portal. Games include and

How to stream cloud games on PS Portal

To start streaming PS5 games to your computer PS portal without a console, you’ll need an lively PS Plus Premium subscription, then you’ll need to download the update and follow these steps:

Open the “Quick Menu” and go to “Settings” in your PS Portal.

Select the “Cloud Streaming (Beta)” button.

Enable the Cloud Streaming (Beta) switch (it’s going to be disabled by default).

Right now, Sony is looking it a beta test and never all features just like the capture button and group chat will be supported for games streamed on the Portal. Similarly, Sony doesn’t currently support PS2, PS3, PS4 games or games purchased on PSN.

Hopefully, after testing and more updates, Sony will expand support and switch PS Portal into a nice PlayStation streaming box where you’ll be able to play all of the classic games added to the catalog every month, in addition to games you own. This will make me rush out and buy it PS portal.
