Successful Shooter on Steam does not want to be called Hunt 2 despite engine upgrade – Because of Destiny 2 and Overwatch 2

Cortyn says: I mainly deal with Asmongold professionally, mostly in the context of World of Warcraft. Watching him for a full four hours is something that you wouldn’t typically find in my leisure planning – at least so far.

Seeing Asmongold approach one of my favorite games of the year with relative impartiality and the necessary seriousness for a story game was refreshing to see – and incredibly entertaining. Even his community (which you can always see displayed in the chat) becomes quieter and more open to the game as the duration of the gameplay increases.

For me, this was an interesting and welcome side of Asmongold – which I simply found entertaining.

However, “The Coffin of Andy and Leyley” is also accompanied by a very disillusioning story. The developer of the game completely withdrew from the public eye after a doxxing incident and now only works offline – she has cut off all contact with fans and critics.

The shooter Hunt: Showdown is one of the big winners of 2023 on Steam – introduces new weapons in the trailer

Linda Knabe 19. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In a trailer that once again impresses on a graphical level, the popular horror shooter on Steam presents the new battle pass content. You can find out what weapons and items you can now obtain here on MeinMMO.

Why is this horror shooter a winner? Hunt: Showdown definitely counts as a winner on Steam in 2023. At least when you look at the player numbers compared to the previous year. They have significantly increased (via steamcharts.com):

In 2022, the average player count fluctuated between 10,000 and 12,000 players.
In comparison, the average player count in 2023 is mostly at least 16,000 players.
Twice, Hunt: Showdown even managed to exceed 20,000.

That a game significantly picks up after years is relatively unusual, and even more remarkable is how well Hunt: Showdown has developed overall.

It is also nice to see that a German studio in Frankfurt achieves such a performance with its game. Recently, Crytek also announced that they are working on a new engine for Hunt: Showdown.

New content and battle pass for horror shooter presented

What new content is being presented? A new battle pass is now available for you, giving you the chance to get your hands on new weapons, items, and a new hunter early.

What new content you can expect in the current DLC besides the battle pass, our colleagues from GameStar have summarized here for you.

A short trailer introduces you to the rewards of the battle pass. We have embedded it here for you:

Autoplay

The trailer impresses with its graphics, pacing, and overall atmosphere and has received high praise in the comments once again (via YouTube). For a while now, players have been excited about the work of the team behind the trailers and some describe it as “divine”.

This trailer introduces you to some new weapons that you can unlock from now on:

Ancestor’s Wrath – Legendary Katana
Fossil Tooth – Legendary Double Barreled Pistol
Pupil Brine – Legendary Dagger 96 Deadeye
Last Line – Legendary Caldwell Pax Trueshot
Veil Slasher – Legendary Dagger 96 Claw
Razor Spate – Legendary Double-Bladed Axe
Sullied & Sworn – Legendary LeMat Mark II Carbine Marksman

In addition to these seven new weapons, the trailer also introduces the two weapon attachments Abyssal Anchor and Bitter Honey.

The Facebook CEO is building a bunker for a lot of money – Reminds of a video game villain and is more secretive than GTA 6

Benedikt Schlotmann 19. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The founder of Facebook is allegedly building a large bunker for around 100 million US dollars. The description resembles famous games set in the apocalypse or a villain from a video game.

Mark Zuckerberg is considered an eccentric billionaire who likes to spend money on special things. After his last billion-dollar project, a strange metaverse game, has been rather unsuccessful, there are now reports that he is having a huge bunker facility constructed.

This is reported by the magazine Wired, which recently published an investigation into the building plans, local politics, and the turmoil of NDAs and confidentiality. Many immediately think of a video game villain whose underground complex must be battled through. With the secrecy, one probably thinks more of the legendary GTA 6.

Facebook CEO’s large bunker resembles a video game villain

What is this project about? Mark Zuckerberg bought the property known as Koolau Ranch in August 2014 and has been investing a lot of money there for years. Meanwhile, besides two villas, facilities for a gym, a swimming pool, and a tennis court are being built on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

However, much more exciting is that a huge protection bunker is supposed to be built underneath the approximately 1,400-hectare site. The facility is reportedly equipped with:

several elevators.
Soundproof walls.
Secret entrances and its own water tanks.
A self-sufficient power and food supply is also said to exist.

The entire complex is supposed to cover a total area of 5,000 square meters and cost more than 270 million dollars along with the property prices. Other sources suggest that the entire bunker facility should cost around 100 million US dollars.

However, not much is really known about it, as there are strict regulations that the workers must adhere to.

Strict regulations and no one is allowed to talk about it

What is the “problem”? No one working on this project is allowed to talk about what they are currently working on or building. Pretty much every person working there is bound by a strict confidentiality agreement. And this is strictly enforced, with violations being harshly punished.

Employees are said to have already been fired when they posted individual pictures of the construction site on social networks. According to Wired, it feels like half the island is bound to an NDA, and it is almost like GTA 6: everyone knows about it, but no one is allowed to talk about it. Allegedly, several residents have already complained about the huge project.

Many workers have already stated that it would not be worth risking their job for a “leak” about the construction project. And that is likely to remain the case for the time being.

In contrast to GTA 6, however, Mark Zuckerberg will not release a video or a trailer about his property. Because while we can eventually play GTA 6, the huge bunker facility is likely to remain a secret for the foreseeable future:

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Schneppke and development XP

Max Handwerk 19. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the spotlight hour with Schneppke takes place today, December 19, 2023. Here you will find all the information about the bonuses and times of the event.

What kind of event is this? The spotlight hour is always on Tuesday evenings. In these 60 minutes, you will encounter a specific event Pokémon that spawns significantly more frequently during this time.

In addition, you will always receive a bonus that is also active for one hour. Niantic sets which combination of Pokémon and bonus is available at the beginning of each month. You can find the dates also in the overview of the December events 2023 in Pokémon GO.

This evening you will encounter the ice Pokémon Schneppke from the third generation of Pokémon.

Spotlight Hour on December 19 – Start, Shiny, Bonuses

When does it start? As always, the spotlight hour starts at 6:00 PM. The event will end at 7:00 PM, then it will continue with the spawns from the current winter holidays event.

What bonuses are active? During the spotlight hour, you can encounter Schneppke all over the wild. If you activate incense, you can get additional Schneppke spawns.

Moreover, you will receive double XP when you evolve Pokémon. Important: This applies not only to Schneppke but to everything you have in your storage. So check the search bar from 6:00 PM and select “can evolve”. This way you will see all the Pokémon that you can evolve and gain some extra XP.

You can find all other spotlight hours in December here:

Can you catch Shiny Schneppke? Yes, the shiny version of Schneppke is in the game. However, the chance to encounter it is not increased during the spotlight hour. You will need a lot of luck to find it.

Is the spotlight hour worth it? Schneppke itself is not particularly strong, and its evolution Firnontor is not necessarily a top attacker – however, it has a Mega Evolution that can be quite convincing as an ice attacker. It also boosts your other ice attackers in raids. The other evolution of Schneppke, Frosdedje, can compete in the Great League meanwhile.

The winter holidays event is currently running, but it is not the only interesting date this week. The “Winter Wonderland” event in Pokémon GO is starting.

New MMORPG on Steam looks like Skyrim, sounds like The Witcher, starts test – Here’s how you can participate

Sophia Weiss 19. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG Reign of Guilds on Steam is entering open play tests. There is also a new trailer showcasing gameplay scenes. We have gathered all the information for you.

What kind of MMORPG is this? Reign of Guilds is an Old School open-world MMORPG that has been in development at Atlan Games for about 6 years. The game plays in a medieval fantasy world where the western and eastern countries are in constant conflict.

At the beginning, you create a character but do not choose a class. You can distribute your attribute points as you wish. Later in the game, you can choose from 14 different classes.

The core of the game is the guild system: It is your task to bring a guild together and specialize with it. Depending on your preferences, you can focus on trade, diplomacy, or combat.

Crafting is also important in the game, among other things because items become weaker over time. So you always have to stay on top of it and create new equipment.

The combat system is not based on tab-targeting. Instead, you aim with mouse and keyboard like in many role-playing games. According to Steam, the game offers player-versus-player battles, as well as player-versus-environment in dungeons and against world bosses. PvP and friendly fire are always on – starting from the first level.

You can see how Reign of Guilds currently looks and is played in the trailer:

Autoplay

The showcased gameplay is reminiscent of Skyrim, released in 2011. The soundtrack and the snow-free landscapes could be inspired by the region of Velen from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Additionally, there is a death notification similar to those found in Dark Souls.

How do you participate in the gameplay test? The gameplay test of Reign of Guilds runs from December 21 to January 8, 2024. To participate, you must request access on the Steam page of the game.

It should be noted that the game is currently pay-to-play. With the final release, it is expected to switch to a subscription model. Those who purchased the game beforehand will receive the price credited towards the subscription fees. Therefore, participation in the upcoming gameplay test is not free.

Nothing is currently known about the extent of the gameplay test. However, since limitations were specifically indicated during previous tests, this could be a test of all game content.

When will Reign of Guilds be released? The release of the game is currently announced for the first quarter of 2024. In the middle of the year, the developer already held a gameplay test and an early access was originally planned. The original release was scheduled for 2021.

Whether Reign of Guilds will be released on time is currently uncertain. However, increased gameplay tests are a generally good sign: work is being done on the game and the developers seek feedback from their community.

WoW Classic: The gold problem is growing and players are finally demanding consequences

Cortyn 19. December 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

The gold issue in WoW Classic is becoming increasingly serious. Many feel unheard – and Blizzard’s penalties for streamers are a joke.

Gold in World of Warcraft is a fine thing – you can pay for just about anything with it. Potions, repair costs, special recipes – but increasingly also loot in dungeons and raids. Especially in the various versions of WoW Classic, so-called “GDKP runs” are the order of the day.

What are GDKP runs? Simply put, during such dungeon or raid visits, bids are placed on rewards, using gold. The highest bidder gets the respective item. The gold is then distributed among all participants in the raid group at the end. In theory, this is a fair system – those who have earned a lot of gold can afford many items. The others benefit from this and receive gold for future runs.

What is the problem? A large portion of the gold in these systems has now been earned through illegal means. In most cases, bots are behind this, farming gold with numerous accounts in a fully automated manner and then selling it.

Technically, the purchase of gold is allowed – namely through the WoW Token – but using bots and buying gold on external sites is prohibited.

The fact that Blizzard has not been able to rein in the bots and providers has had dramatic effects on many realms. Often, items are sold for several million gold – it is obvious that these amounts cannot be farmed legitimately.

There is even a petition in the WoW Classic subreddit aimed at urging Blizzard to take action – although the support is still muted.

Streamer incident makes everything worse: Just a few days ago, an incident caused quite a stir. The well-known streamer Sodapoppin had bought gold with real money and was sanctioned by Blizzard for it. Instead of an actual account penalty, he only received a warning, and the illegally purchased gold and the items obtained with it were removed from his account.

Link to the YouTube content

For many players, this has been clear evidence that Blizzard simply does not take strong enough action against such offenses. At the same time, many believe that other gold buyers feel encouraged. If the biggest penalty is that the gold is just taken away – is it even a penalty?

Gold buying is often legitimized: On the other hand, there is an ever-growing group of players who apparently believe that buying gold in-game is perfectly fine and is essentially “part of the game.” A large part of the economy now works this way. More and more people believe that it is perfectly legitimate to simply exchange real money for gold, as they simply do not have as much time to play as they used to. They want to spend the little time they have on real character progression, not spending days or months farming gold.

Pokémon GO: Community Day with Forgita – How to make the most of the event

What solutions are there? One idea from the community is to ban all users of “GDK runs” and those who buy and sell gold illegally to a kind of “shadow realm,” where they only encounter other players who also engage in these practices. Anyone who has been caught once should simply be excluded from the “normal” realms.

Many find this approach very drastic, but others believe that only a drastic solution can help prevent the various versions of World of Warcraft Classic from continually sinking into the downward spiral of gold buying.

Would you know a better solution to eliminate the problem of gold trading once and for all?

Elsewhere, there is at least something to laugh about – because the dumbest death in WoW Classic HC has its own cinematic.

Pokémon GO: Trainer collects almost 30,000 Stardust with one throw

Paul Kutzner 19. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a trainer has collected an enormous amount of stardust with just one throw. We will explain how he did it.

What’s happening in Pokémon GO right now? Pokémon GO is currently fully under the sign of the Season Timeless Journeys. This season also brings a whole host of bonuses into the game. This includes a bonus for stardust, which a trainer has now cleverly combined with additional bonuses.

As the trainer reports on Reddit, he collected a considerable amount of stardust with just one single throw. It is the incredible sum of 29,437 stardust. We will break down exactly how he did it and which bonuses he combined here.

By the way, from today there is another event waiting for you, where you can receive an increased amount of stardust for catching Pokémon. The Winter Holidays-event is just around the corner, and with it a free limited research, which allows you to receive double catch stardust.

How does one get so much stardust with a single throw?

This is what the trainer did: As the trainer reports, he combined the following bonuses to make this remarkable throw.

Whiscash as Pokémon: 2,100 stardust
Star Piece: Multiplier of 1.5
Community Day Bonus: Multiplier of 2
Timeless Journeys-bonus: Increased stardust for the 7-day catch streak
Bonus from the Egg Access-pass: 3 times stardust for the first catch of the day
AR+ Expert handler bonus: +25 stardust

The combination of these bonuses brought the trainer the total of 29,437 stardust with just one single catch. By the way, he also collected 55,180 experience points with this throw.

It should also be noted that he faced a challenge with the throw. He needed the Community Day bonus to further increase the amount of stardust, but at the same time he also needed a Whiscash for the high base amount of stardust.

However, Whiscash did not appear during the Community Day, so he clicked on Whiscash just before the start of the Community Day and then waited until the C-Day started to take advantage of the bonus.

For MMORPG Black Desert there is a ton of fresh content: Even 2 new classes and a new region

Sophia Weiss 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

For a long time, the MMORPG Black Desert Online was quiet, but at this year’s Calpheon Ball, publisher Pearl Abyss announced new content: besides a new region inspired by Seol, you can look forward to many updates and quality-of-life changes. The highlight? The new class Scholar.

The MMORPG Black Desert Online launched in 2014 and will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year. Publisher and developer Pearl Abyss is far from finished with development:

During this year’s Calpheon Balls, a live stream about the game and its community, a whole lot of updates were announced. We have the details for you.

2 new classes and a new region bring fresh air to Black Desert

What new classes are there? During the Calpheon Ball, the Scholar, announced in German as Gelehrter, was presented. In the trailer, the class is represented by a red-haired woman with glasses and a beret. Here you can see the trailer:

Start video

Autoplay

As a Scholar, you fight with intellect and much muscle power. Unlike the similarly named class in Final Fantasy 14, you are absolutely hands-on here:

Your character summons two oversized hammers with which you can smash your opponents in close combat. For particularly heavy attacks, the two hammers merge into an even larger hammer. While you fight with the class up close and personal, the focus is on intense area-of-effect attacks.

Here you can see how exactly you fight with the Scholar:

Is there another new class? Indeed, a second class was announced: a male class that uses a sword, a pipe, and the power of Do, Black Desert Online’s version of magic.

Currently, there is no further information on this class. It will only appear in 2024 with the second part of the update.

What kind of new region can you expect? The new region belongs to The Land of the Morning Light (translated: Das Land des Morgenlichts) and is supposed to be a historical version of South Korea’s own capital, Seoul. Most influences are supposedly taken from the royal main palace of the Joseon dynasty.

In addition to the external influences, the new lore will also be shaped by Korea’s history. So you can look forward to historical references.

There should be fewer loading screens
Inventory management is to be simplified
Old quest lines will continue to be updated with new cut scenes, voice-overs, etc.
A new quest search function has been announced
Monster grind zones will be buffed

When can you play the changes? The new update and thus the new content will be released in two parts. Part one, featuring the Scholar, has been in testing since December 17th. The official release date is December 20th. Part 2 is expected to go live only in 2024.

3 new games from famous studios that should have been like Destiny, but flopped and died in 2023

Schuhmann 18. December 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

The year 2023 has taught us one thing: A studio known for single-player games cannot simply develop a service game like Destiny. This is a bitter lesson that some of the world’s most successful developers had to learn in 2023.

This is the problem: Service games that function for over 10 years are seen by many publishers as “the holy grail”: They guarantee overflowing, secure revenue over many years through microtransactions or DLCs.

That’s why studios that have only created single-player games so far are being forced to switch to “multiplayer service games”: Sony alone planned 12 new service games for their PlayStation 5.

Bungie is considered a prime example of a studio that successfully made this transition, having turned their “Halo” franchise into a service game with Destiny that has been running for years.

Yet it has become clear that exactly this model is a recipe for disaster. Bioware already suffered catastrophically with Anthem, failing to transform patterns that worked as single-player games for years into a service game. Square Enix also got a bloody nose with Marvel’s Avengers.

We will show you 3 more games from 2023 that fared even worse than Anthem and Marvel’s Avengers.

Do something like Fortnite, but with vampires

This is the studio: The “Arkane Studios” is a French development team that has impressed with games like Dishonored or Prey for Bethesda.

This was their flop: In 2023, they were supposed to create a service game with “Redfall”, but the vampire game in comic style failed miserably and is considered by many as one of the biggest flops of 2023.

A report from Bloomberg revealed that the development of Redfall was under a bad star from the very beginning, leading to team members leaving during development. The pressure from parent company Zenimax to incorporate microtransactions didn’t help either.

Note: Officially, “Redfall” is still “alive”, but with an average of 57 active players on Steam, it’s just barely alive – certainly, Redfall is far below the expectations of Bethesda and the studio.

Do what you always do, but as an online game

This is the studio: The studio “Naughty Dog” is known for the series “The Last of Us” and Uncharted. They are regarded as one of the best studios delivering consistent quality – especially in storytelling and presentation, they are considered top-tier.

This was their flop: For many years, Naughty Dog was supposed to develop “The Last of Us Online” as a multiplayer service game.

But even that, despite 4 years of development time, did not come together.

The big The Last of Us Online is dead: “We would no longer be able to make single-player games”

von Cortyn

The project seemingly came to an end after Sony allowed the Destiny studio Bungie to have a look at the game, and they saw numerous issues.

Ultimately, “The Last of Us Online” was canceled before even more money and time went down the drain.

Make one of those cool extraction shooters that everyone loves

This is the studio: The studio “Creative Assembly” has been around since 1987. They are mainly known for the strategy game series Total War, which is considered a milestone in the genre.

This was their flop: The studio wanted to develop Hyenas, a sci-fi shooter as a long-lasting title like Destiny, but this game was also under a bad star from the beginning.

Already during development, it became clear that the team had difficulties finding the right approach to Hyenas – and quickly here too, the project was shelved. Shortly after the beta, the development of Hyenas was canceled.

It is said that “the most expensive game Sega ever financed” was thrown in the bin. The game reportedly cost between 40 and 70 million US dollars (via escapistmagazine).

Ultimately, publisher Sega came to the realization that Creative Assembly should focus back on real-time strategy games.

And forever calls the formula of the infinite money cheat service game

This is what’s behind it: This is a pattern we see repeatedly: These “service” titles, whether called MMOs or not, are titles that promise high returns but also carry high risks.

Every publisher dreams of a successful service game that generates substantial profits each quarter and thus provides a stable factor in the hit-driven gaming business.

In the past, such titles have often started well from inexperienced studios, but then quickly faded because the developers ran out of content: This was the case for WildStar or Anthem.

The new generation of these titles, however, barely makes it to launch, but fizzles out during development. Yet even much experience with service titles is no guarantee. Established MMO studios like Blizzard or Daybreak had to cancel their upcoming MMOs like Titan or Everquest Next prematurely:

In Pokémon GO there is currently a secret event with Kecleon. It has now also started in Germany, but it only lasts a few hours.

Update, December 18, 5:00 PM: The event “Hidden Surprise” has now also started in this country at 5:00 PM. Until 8:00 PM, Kecleon will appear more frequently at PokéStops. Additionally, it will also be a showcase Pokémon that you can have compete against each other in competitions.

The event was not announced, but a corresponding hint was shared earlier by trainers in the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” for Pokémon GO (via reddit), where the event had already started due to time zone differences.

Here continues with the original article.

What kind of event is this? Kecleon is usually very rare and can only be found through indirect means. This Pokémon can camouflage itself and hides on PokéStops. You first have to find it and click on it before it can be caught – it does not simply appear in the wild like other Pokémon. We will show you how to catch Kecleon here.

The surprise variant fits well with the Pokémon: Its original release following a Community Day at the beginning of the year occurred unexpectedly.

Is the Kecleon event in Pokémon GO worth it?

Kecleon is not a particularly powerful monster in Pokémon GO. However, the opportunity to get it with a greater chance should be seized if you do not yet have its Pokédex entry. Catching the camouflaged Pokémon is usually a difficult endeavor.

Especially, the event is worth it for trainers who still have the Masterwork Research of the GO Tour Hoenn open. There, page 3 of the tasks presents the challenge of catching a total of 10 Kecleon. The event should be a very good opportunity to get closer to the rewards from the research.

Currently, for example, the event “Winter Holidays Part 1” has begun, bringing you the debut of Flaniwal. More events will follow in the coming days: For example, you can look forward to a raid day featuring the new Damythir.

A new series on Netflix turns out to be a sci-fi thriller that makes you feel damn clever

Schuhmann 18. December 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Since October 19, the British series “Bodies” is streaming on German Netflix: What at first glance seems like a police thriller or historical crime drama turns out in the course of the first episode to be a science fiction thriller that is well thought out and clever, guiding viewers through the nearly six-hour plot with many twists and puzzles. A well-composed plot is just right for the Christmas season, says MeinMMO author Schuhmann – and you feel so clever while watching when you realize where the story is heading.

Thus starts Bodies: The story undergoes several rapid changes in the first episode, giving the impression that you are watching three series at once:

a modern cop thriller
a historical crime drama
a nested SF story

At the beginning, you accompany a Muslim policewoman through her workday in modern London. She monitors a right-wing demonstration, discovers a suspicious young man, engages in a heated chase with him, and finally finds the corpse of a naked man in a back alley.

This is how a “normal” contemporary crime drama or thriller might start, as seen frequently from England: Culturally charged, with a diverse cast and an exciting beginning featuring a central, unresolved mystery: Why is there a naked man lying there, with no clues? Why can no bullet be found?

This is exactly how series from the island begin.

Start video

Bodies – Official Trailer for the Netflix series

Autoplay

“Know that you are loved”

This is how Bodies surprises: But now “Bodies” takes a wild turn and sends the viewer to London in 1943: The Nazis are bombing the capital, and a Jewish cop is sent by a mysterious voice to exactly this alley where a naked man’s corpse lies, which he is to make disappear. In every scene, you can feel the distrust and aversion directed at the Jewish cop.

However, we do not stay long in this temporal level. Shortly afterward, we are in historical London 1890. Again, we accompany a police officer and he takes us to the alley where the corpse is.

The police investigate, and you watch excitedly. Quickly, you get the feeling of recognizing parallels:

For example, the whispered “Know that you are loved” – which must be the sign of a secret society somehow connected to the murders. And isn’t that always the same corpse that is found in this alley in London?

Now you have reached a historical mystery thriller. You puzzle along with the police about what connections and parallels there might be between the present and the two historical time levels.

But just when you feel like you understand what the series is showing and how it works, there comes a final time jump to the year 2053, where a mysterious power has seized control of London and assures the population through large overlays: “Know that you are loved.”

An “18+” series on Netflix offers intrigues, brutality, and naked skin like Game of Thrones

The new Netflix series “Bodies” is reminiscent of Cloud Atlas

This is what makes the series appealing: The individual time levels are interesting in themselves and display exciting conflicts. Each of the investigating police officers is an outsider in their time and carries some kind of stigma with them:

The policewoman Shahara Hassan from 2023 is a Muslim and wears a headscarf.
The police officer Karl Weissmann aka “Charles Whiteman” is, in 1943, an outsider as a Jew in the British police.
Alfred Hillinghead appears in 1890 as a clean-cut bourgeois man with a wife and daughter, but hides a secret that will cost him his head and neck.
In the future, the policewoman Iris Maplewood investigates, who can only walk thanks to advanced technology. And she has to deal with a annoyingly talkative neighbor in the future.

Bodies gives a great feeling when you understand what it’s really about

The real appeal arises when you realize how cleverly the plot is constructed and how individual characters play similar roles and pursue similar goals in each epoch.

As in Cloud Atlas, each part of the plot functions on its own, but the larger whole has its own appeal. When you understand during the course of the story how the individual characters and narrative strands are really interconnected, it’s already a very satisfying feeling to hear the penny drop.

Particularly outstanding are Kyle Soller as the tight-lipped police officer Alfred Hillinghead and Stephen Graham as the nebulous figure who plays a crucial role in all four time levels.

One of the best weapons from Gambit returns in the new update to Destiny 2 – Here’s what you need to do to get Neckbreaker

Christoph Waldboth 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The top weapon “Neck Breaker” is back in the game with the latest update for Destiny 2. You’ll find out what the weapon can do and how to get it here.

What can the weapon do? The automatic rifle with the telling name “Neck Breaker” was originally introduced with Season 5. It is considered to be very precise and conveniently comes at the maximum upgrade level of 10 as a masterpiece weapon.

The two main perks:

Fury – Kills with this weapon temporarily deal increased damage. Stackable 3 times
Onslaught – Stacking Fury increases the weapon’s rate of fire

Neck Breaker was removed from the game shortly after Season 5. Now, with the update “Season of the Wish,” the weapon makes its return.

Here you can see the trailer for Season 23:

Start video

Destiny 2: Season 23 sends the Guardians for a Last Wish to the Dragon’s Lair

You can get Neck Breaker much easier in 2023 than before

How do you get Neck Breaker? Unlike Season 5, the weapon is now much easier to obtain. Specifically, through earning engrams. There’s neither a quest nor hours of grinding needed. That was different in Season 5.

Back then, the weapon was tied to the Gambit mode. Specifically, you had to complete 40 Gambit matches. Additionally, you needed to achieve 500 automatic rifle kills, complete 100 automatic rifle multi-kills, and defeat 150 challenging enemies.

Since the introduction of Gambit with the DLC expansion “Forsaken,” two teams of four players compete against each other in separate arenas. The team that first collects the required number of particles (dropped by defeated PVE enemies) to summon and defeat the final boss wins the round.

Everything you need to know about Gambit is summarized on MeinMMO.

von Lydia

Is the weapon worth it? The fact that Neck Breaker deals more damage after kills and also gets faster with each kill makes the weapon a real DPS monster.

Season 23 also introduces a new, crazy weapon type.

The YouTuber Datto (via youtube) came to the conclusion after extensive testing that Neck Breaker is especially well-suited for PVE. While the weapon quickly decimates smaller groups of enemies, its effectiveness decreases at longer ranges. In PVP, however, you shouldn’t expect any great miracles.

Have you already tested Neck Breaker in Season 5? Or do you want to give the weapon a chance now?

The Winter Event 2023 is currently running. Here you will get an overview of the best weapons.

Nintendo secures trademarks in Europe, leaves fans hoping that PokéParks will open here soon

Paul Kutzner 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Nintendo secures 3 trademarks in Europe. Can you play Pokémon GO in PokéParks soon?

What is a PokéPark? A PokéPark is an amusement park that primarily revolves around Pokémon. Here you can find all kinds of attractions designed in the style of your favorite Pokémon. Throughout the entire facility, you can find Pokémon and have a strong Pokémon experience.

What is a trademark? With a registered trademark, a company secures the right to use the registered brand and protects it against use by other companies. This is one of the first steps before a company releases a new product or similar.

Nintendo Europe has now registered 3 trademarks in Europe to protect them. These are the names PokéPark Kalos, PokéPark Paldea and PokéPark Galar, as reported by Serebii on X.

Following last week’s announcement that a new Pokémon Park named PokéPark Kanto will open in Japan, this could indicate that Nintendo is pursuing similar plans in Europe.

PokéParks planned in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom?

Where could these PokéParks open? While there is currently no official information from Nintendo on this topic, there is already speculation about where these parks could open.

It is speculated that the PokéParks Kalos and Paldea could open in Spain and France, as these regions serve as rough templates for their respective in-game regions. The United Kingdom could serve as the location for PokéPark Galar, as a separate trademark for that term has been registered here.

Will the PokéParks definitely come to Europe? So far, it is only certain that the corresponding trademarks have been registered. However, this does not necessarily mean that the PokéParks will ever come to Europe. It could also be that the names were registered only as placeholders without concrete plans.

However, PokéParks in Europe would be a nice thing for trainers and fans in Europe, as the barrier to visiting the parks here is considerably lower than for a visit to Japan.

What do you think? Would you be happy about PokéParks in Europe? Would you visit them? If you are still looking for local events, check out what events in December in Pokémon GO are waiting for you.

Former Blizzard employee breaks world record on Twitch twice in one week

Sarah 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Former Blizzard employee Jason T. Hall breaks the hype train record multiple times on his Twitch channel “PirateSoftware”, achieving impressive levels and collecting record amounts of subs and bits.

Which streamer is it? Jason T. Hall is a former Blizzard employee who is now also active as an indie developer. The talented developer not only shares insights from his time at Blizzard but also from the gaming industry in general, by regularly streaming on Twitch.

This week, he particularly drew attention by breaking the hype train record on Twitch multiple times.

Sometimes it’s not a good idea to stream on Twitch alongside the actual job:

Start video

Autoplay

What is a hype train? The platform Twitch offers its streamers a reward feature called hype train. This is triggered when support events, such as gifting subs or bits, reach a certain value that the streamer has predefined on a channel. Once the hype train is started, a countdown begins, during which the community can show their support to level up.

Even the renowned streamer Gronkh has experienced how a massive hype train overwhelmed all limits and overloaded the technical functions. Some users received incorrect displays of the train levels, and he read out the names of the donors for 33 minutes.

9,665 subs and 1,318,607 bits are the new world record

What did the developer achieve? In the world of the highest hype train records on Twitch, names of huge streamers like Kai Cenat or EliasN97 are ubiquitous. But now Jason T. Hall, with his channel “PirateSoftware”, is also making a strong impression.

On December 13, 2023, he broke EliasN97’s record during a 13-hour stream and reached the impressive hype train level 51. An extraordinary achievement, especially for a channel the size of PirateSoftware.

With 206,000 followers and currently averaging 6,000 viewers, “PirateSoftware” is not exactly a small channel, but far from the previous record holders Kai Cenat and EliasN97, who each have several million followers and tens of thousands of viewers.

Simply breaking the record was apparently not enough. The chat of PirateSoftware showed generosity and brought the hype train to level 55. Overall, the community collected an impressive 7,321 subs and 1,825,696 bits.

Just two days later, on December 15, 2023, Jason T. Hall surpassed his own performance. This time, he collected an incredible 9,665 subs and 1,318,607 bits and commented: “Two days after the world record hype train was set on Twitch, the community broke it again. This is absolutely wild. For the second time in a week, I feel honored by all of you. There are no words for how great you are.”

A new MMO on Steam lets you explore its open world together and solve puzzles

Linda Knabe 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In February 2024, a new MMO will be released on Steam, which focuses on entirely different things than most games in this genre. What you can expect from it, you’ll find out here at MeinMMO.

What kind of game is this? Island of Insight is a new MMO on Steam, which is scheduled to be released in February 2024. The game has currently completed its open beta phase.

The game focuses on entirely different aspects than most MMOs. Island of Insight attracts players by completely forgoing combat and instead offers an open world full of puzzles and mysteries.

We have the latest trailer for the game here for you:

Start video

Autoplay

This is what to expect: Island of Insight initially reminds you of “The Talos Principle” in the trailer and could also be described as an MMO version of this puzzle adventure upon closer inspection.

In this open world, you explore the various areas on foot or in flight and find new puzzles around every corner. And this is exactly where the focus of the game lies: solving puzzles and uncovering the ancient secrets of the world.

The puzzles appear to be quite diverse, as seen in the trailer. You can expect a variety of puzzles, mazes, logic puzzles, challenges that require you to use different perspectives, and the search for hidden objects. With some puzzle quests, you can also unlock new areas.

A relaxed MMO for anyone who enjoys spending their time exploring a world

The developers promise you that you can achieve all of this at your own pace. Due to this and the different difficulty levels of the puzzles, Island of Insight should be interesting for both beginners and experienced puzzle solvers.

Therefore, Island of Insight seems to be just right for all players who enjoy spending their time exploring an open world. Because there is no linear order in which you have to solve the puzzles. You decide whether and when to take on each challenge.

How much the MMO aspect affects the gameplay is only briefly touched upon in the trailer. What is clear is that as players, you share a common world, allowing for seamless interactions. As mentioned in the trailer, you can also get tips from other players. However, it is not clear whether you can solve the puzzles together directly.

What do you think of the concept behind Island of Insight? Are you looking forward to a relaxed MMO without combat? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.

Chinese alternative to WoW breaks Pay2Win promise – announces changes, but many players find them insufficient

Jasmin Beverungen 18. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The team behind Tarisland removed all indications of missing Pay2Win content after several critical voices were raised. Now the developers at Tencent have taken the players’ feedback to heart and presented a solution aimed at mitigating the Pay2Win aspect.

What were the accusations?

Tarisland claimed to be a Free2Play MMORPG without Pay2Win, but players discovered equipment items with advantages in the in-game shop during an initial testing phase.
The shop encourages players to exchange their real money for gold or silver. With these coins, they can then purchase the equipment items on the marketplace.
The shop also has advantage packages that can only be purchased with real money. A package for 5.99 euros, for example, reduces taxes at the trading post, provides a portable warehouse, and decreases the Elan costs by 10%.
After the accusations arose, Tencent deleted the mention that the MMORPG would be without Pay2Win everywhere.

The development team had then promised changes. Tencent had heard the negative feedback from players. Besides the Pay2Win accusations, the gender lock was also criticized. Many of these points have now been addressed by the development team, promising some changes in the future – some of them more far-reaching than others (via Tencent).

In a trailer, you can see the areas and battles from Tarisland:

Start video

Autoplay

These are the solutions Tencent is working on

What does Tencent plan? After the now second closed beta, Tencent is drawing its conclusions. The probably biggest change is that the development team wants to remove the gender lock. This way, all classes can be played in both female and male variants.

However, this step will take the most time. The team wants to ensure that the animations and the art style of the characters meet players’ expectations.

Additionally, certain equipment items can no longer be crafted but can only be obtained through raids. This is meant to ensure that the equipment receives the high status it deserves.

Furthermore, the development team wants to ensure that players in Tarisland can only obtain the newly introduced “Inscribed Stone Energy” through daily activities. This way, all players will start from the same point.

They present their promises on their Twitter account:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

And what about the gold/silver? Regarding the in-game shop, there will only be one change. Players should now also obtain the gold used as a currency in the in-game shop through daily in-game activities.

This means that Tencent will make it easier for players to get gold and thus the items with improved status values.

However, the team does not currently want to remove the items with status improvements from the shop. The actual problem is therefore not resolved.

Further adjustments to the “commercial contents” are still under discussion.

In the past, there were several accusations against Tarisland. The MMORPG from China is said to have copied the aesthetics and some features from World of Warcraft:
