The Division 2 Skills Bug Patched, With Another On The Way

18-03-2019 23:42

A bug in The Division 2 has been discovered that prevents proper use of skills, and Ubisoft has assured that a fix is on the way very soon. The bug apparently impacts both the length that skills are deployed and their cooldowns. Players on the Division subreddit say the bug causes skills to deactivate only a few moments after triggering them. Then, in an odd fluke, the cooldown timer resets to 15 seconds, significantly shorter than usual. The community has tried testing the bug and so far hasn't

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter [Remaster] (Nintendo Switch) Review | GamePitt

18-03-2019 22:44 via n4g.com

Rob Pitt writes: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter has returned! I know a lot of people claim Mario and Link are the Nintendo mascots, but back on the N64 I would personally have placed Turok himself within the list of the infamous faces you can relate to a product.
Four main games and a spin-off were released on Nintendo consoles, Turok, Turok 2, Turok 3, Turok: Evolution, and Turok: Rage Wars (which was my favourite) before it was pretty much rebooted into the 2008 edition on the Xbox 360 and PS3.However
