Dark Souls II has suffered from a pretty terrible bug caused by the higher frame rate the game can hit on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, and it's still in the game today. Weapon durability in Dark Souls II is tied to frame rate, so getting 60 frames-per-second means weapons degrade much faster than they would when playing with 30 frames-per-second. Only recently did publisher Bandai Namco say that it's working on a fix for this issue. "The fix will be issued for PS4, Steam and Xbox One, and will be apparent for people running the game at 60fps as the durability decrease rate is linked to the frame rate," Bandai Namco told Kotaku. "We are still working on the exact release date for the patch, which will also fix additional issues not just durability, and will follow up with the date as soon as possible." Hopefully Bandai Namco releases the patch sooner rather than later, because Dark Souls II is great otherwise, and worth playing at the higher frame rate.

 Valve has introduced a new policy that aims to reduce cases of spam and phishing on Steam by limiting what users can do before they spend at least $5 on the digital games distribution platform. "Malicious users often operate in the community on accounts which have not spent any money, reducing the individual risk of performing the actions they do," Valve said. "One of the best pieces of information we can compare between regular users and malicious users are their spending habits as typically the accounts being used have no investment in their longevity. Due to this being a common scenario we have decided to restrict certain community features until an account has met or exceeded $5.00 USD in Steam." Users will now need to spend at least $5 on the Steam store before they can: - Send friend invites
- Open group chat
- Vote on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
- Participate in the Steam Market
- Post frequently in the Steam Discussions
- Gain Steam Profile Levels (Locked to level 0) and Trading Cards
- Submit content on the Steam Workshop
- Post in an item's Steam Workshop Discussions
- Access the Steam Web API
- Use browser and mobile chat
This isn't the only security upgrade Valve has introduced recently. Earlier this week, Steam added a Mobile Authenticator beta group, where users can test a new two-factor authentication. If you don't already use two-factor authentication on your other online account (you should), it sends you a text with a new password every time you log in, making sure that it's the actual account holder trying to log into the account. If Steam's previous beta groups are any indication, this feature will roll out to all users soon.

Bloodborne is a challenging game even under the best conditions, so imagine how hard it would be to finish using nothing but a Rock Band guitar controller. That's just what a player named Benjamin "Bearzly" Gwin recently accomplished. You can watch his entire "Guitarborne" run archived on his Twitch channel, or you can just watch him take on one of the most challenging fights in the game in the YouTube video above. "I used a 'Titan One' to use my Xbox 360 Rock Band 1 guitar on a PS4 and remap the controls," Gwin said. "There are a couple issues with PS4 support but overall I was very impressed with it! If this all sounds a little familiar, it's probably because you've seen Gwin pull off a similar stunt before. Last year, he used a Rock Band guitar to beat Dark Souls as well. According to the latest report from the NPD on physical video game sales in the US, Bloodborne, which is exclusive to the PlayStation 4, was the second best selling game during March. It came in right behind Battlefield Hardline, which was released on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

NetherRealm has released patch 1.02 for its fighting game Mortal Kombat X, the developer has announced. The patch includes new costumes for a few fighters, including a classic skin for the ice-wielding ninja Sub-Zero. More importantly, the patch makes a few gameplay changes, which are listed below. - General - Throws (regular or command grabs) will no longer sometimes connect on a grounded reacting opponent off a counter hit
- Shinnok (Impostor) - He can now control the location of a stolen Goro Stomp.
- Subzero (Grandmaster) - Combos on a grounded opponent frozen by the Ice Klone will now scale properly.
- Takeda (Ronin) - Added a new move "Quick Kall" (Down, Towards, Front Punch) which quickly returns a dropped blade without doing an attack.
- Takeda (Shirai Ryu) – He will now always teleport to the other side when doing the Air Shirai Ryu Port
In case you missed it, yesterday NeatherRealm released a patch on PC that fixed several issues, and granted an extra 10,000 Krypt Koins to all PC players for their patience on launch day. On Twitter, NetherRealm creative director Ed Boon said that the patch should also improve performance on PC. Mortal Kombat X launched earlier this week, and though he didn't share specific numbers, according to Boone it was the biggest launch in the franchise's history. Mortal Kombat X is currently available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and mobile devices. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game have been delayed and will arrive this summer.
