<br>It’s been five years since Commander Shepard closed the book on the Reapers. Even if Mass Effect 3 ’s ending left a bad taste in your mouth, there’s no arguing that the world of Mass Effect is one the most detailed and beloved science fiction universes in gaming. Helmed by Bioware Montreal, Mass Effect: Andromeda is set 600 years after the original Mass Effect trilogy and transitions us from the Milky Way Galaxy to Andromeda. The newest installment is poised to build on everything we loved about the dialogue systems and combat of Mass Effect 2/3. It also hopes to finally deliver on the exploration elements of the original Mass Effect game — taking cues from Dragon Age: Inquisition to build out its Open World Games Survival Guide wo<br><br> <br>South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut shocked movie theaters worldwide over 15 years ago. We’re happy to know Trey Parker and Matt Stone haven’t lost their passion for farcical pun titles. In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, the kids in town have quit playing make-believe as high fantasy adventurers and graduated to superheroes. We’re already sold on the premise, as the kids can’t agree on how to structure their cinematic universe, starting a civil war between them. Priceless. South Park: Fractured but Whole builds on the open-world exploration and classic role-playing combat of 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth , adding a wrinkle of tactical strategy to fights. With the series’ creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone coming back to work on another video game —bringing their wit and voice talent along with them— The Fractured but Whole is a sure <br><br> <br>Few video game conspiracies go deep enough that they warrant more than a single thread on services like Reddit or Discord. Fewer still get an entire subreddit devoted to unraveling a series of increasingly complex mysteries that all seem to be connected to one in-game location's mural. That's the Mount Chiliad mystery for you, though. This is a good conspiracy theory to talk about early, because very nearly every other myth and legend in the game has some connection to this single, lone mountain. The theory simply purports that Mount Chiliad, the northern-most mountain in GTA V , is a focal point for supernatural activity, a claim supported by the numerous occult-related images smattered about the mountain. Those images include links to the Illuminati's All-Seeing Eye, as well as hints about where to find various supernatural phenomena on the <br> <br>The Outlast games make you understand why you should be afraid. There are jump scares, the levels are tense, but more than any other horror game they let you confront evil before making you run away from it. In the tradition of phenomenal games born out of Montreal, the original Outlast was a surprise hit that oozes style. Like the first game, Outlast 2 puts you in control of a journalist investigating a derelict rural local, piecing together a larger mystery. Outlast 2 takes a lot of inspiration from classic horror movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and REC . The focus of the new game is a fanatic religious cult who believes the end is nye.

The theory, from Reddit user alejcho , starts with a diagram that looks eerily familiar to an in-game poster that is the focal point in the overarching Mount Chiliad Mystery. The diagram actually has links to Cahuilla Native American mythology, which has its own godly pantheon of sorts. According to the conspiracy hunters, that pantheon lines up neatly with certain creatures and NPCs found in GTA V , not least of which being Goatman, a half-man, half-goat hybrid long rumored to secretly plague the Grand Theft Auto universe, who has been equated to Taqwus, a trickster god who comes out at night and causes mischief. The theory even posits that Ursula, the handicapped lighthouse operator, was victim to a god's obsess<br><br> <br>There are really eerie sounds that can be heard inside the sewers in GTA V . There's been a longstanding myth that Ratman inhabits the sewers. This seems pretty far-fetched until players realized that when they shot the rats in the sewers, it would cause large splashing noises and the sound of a man(?) yelling out. A loud heartbeat can also be heard throughout the sewers, along with footsteps as if the player is being followed. There were many hoaxes in GTA IV where players created mods and claimed that they'd found "the real" Ratman, but maybe Rockstar Games is trying to keep the urban myth alive.

Depending on which version of the game you own, you may be able to get inside–any explosive will clear the way (entering the mineshaft is only supported on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of the game, while Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will find a brick wall blocking their path). A thorough exploration of the mine (as seen in this video ) leaves much to be desired. While players have reported hearing voices and footsteps in the mine, typically all that can be heard are the sounds of bats and the creak of the shaft's weathered supports. That hasn't kept GTA V 's mystery-seeking community from rampant speculation, though, as some still believe the mineshaft is haun<br>
