If you digitally purchased Far Cry 4 for Xbox One, you might have trouble playing the game right now. As first reported by Videogamer.com, some players are having difficulty launching the game, due to a bizarre issue where the game currently isn't listed on the Xbox Marketplace.
We already knew that Far Cry 4's level editor was an open invitation for masterpieces to be made. That much was evident after this goat butt stabbing video surfaced. But, some people are making more serious playgrounds.
One of the finer examples is this fairly faithful recreation of the opening area of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes . It still has all of Far Cry's animations and mechanics strapped to it, but picking off guards with a silenced pistol looks so wonderfully Metal Gear.
A few days ago, I got an e-mail from someone who said he was a customer service agent for PlayStation. He asked me—and, really, all of Kotaku's readers—to cut Sony a little slack in the wake of a DDoS attack that took the PlayStation Network down for several days. Have some sympathy for the people who work there, he begged.
I haven't bothered to change my 3DS theme despite Nintendo's nags to do so but that changes today. The Official Best 3DS Theme, Pokémon: Slowpoke, is now available outside of Japan.
For $1.99, we're getting a beachside Slowpoke background and an instrumental version of the song "Donai Yanen Yadon" which you should already be deeply familiar with.
To download it, tap the Home Menu Design button on the top left-hand corner of the 3DS touch screen, hit Change Theme, then go to the Theme Shop and search under New Themes.
Be sure to read this short story while downloading for maximum potency.

Don’t let the name fool you -- this is by no means a Batman game. The Dark Knight may grace the box, but underneath its bat-enameled shell lies a Justice League game at heart. A menagerie of DC heroes and villains combined steal the show in this installment and take us far away from the streets of Gotham.
Despite this identity shift, the game still manages to provide a decent amount of content, features, and unlockables -- perhaps at the expense of more crucial mechanics.
I'm downloading Swery's Dark Dreams Don't Die right now. You should do the same, assuming you have an Xbox One and an Xbox Live Gold membership. The quirky adventure game is free throughout January as part of Microsoft's Games with Gold program. Queue her up!
On the Xbox 360 front, MX vs. ATV Alive is available for free now through January 15, followed by The Witcher 2 from January 16 through the end of the month. I'd consider grabbing the former out of curiosity but I don't have the hard drive space to spare. Blasted thing.
Even though Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in November, we have a teaser for Five Nights at Freddy's 3 . The developer, Scott Games, just posted a super creepy image, suggesting the mechanical creatures are lurking. I'm ready for another jump scare, despite these games tarnishing my memories of Chuck E. Cheese.
Look, it's great that the folks at Man at Arms got around to making Dante's fearsome sword from the old-school Devil May Cry games. But if you're not putting on a trenchcoat when you're swinging Rebellion around, you're doing Son of Sparda all wrong.
Calling all Far Cry fans: we've been hearing about a survey Ubisoft sent out recently that has some crazy-sounding hints about the shooter's future: zombies, vampires, dinosaurs, Spaghetti Western dramas, you name it. Did you receive this survey, or do you know anyone who has? If so, I want to hear from you.
Just playing Destiny as the shooting-grind it can often amount to won't tip you off to some of its cooler details. You might never guess the connections to the Dark Souls series or the impacts of some of its other lore.
