One of the largest companies in the world has a problem that every gamer knows – therefore has to close for a whole day

Hardware and Tech: The Japanese manufacturer Toyota has to close its plants for a whole day. The reason behind it is a lack of storage for new data.

Toyota is among the world’s largest car manufacturers and considers itself to be one of the 10 largest publicly traded companies in the world. This places the Japanese manufacturer (in production numbers) ahead of the German company VW.

What exactly was the problem? In its Japanese homeland, all assembly plants of Toyota Motor had to halt operations for an entire day.

There was no storage capacity left available on the servers. The company explained this in a statement (via asia.nikkei.com).

Servers were full after maintenance

Why can’t production continue? The servers were used to process orders for spare parts. Since these did not function properly due to lack of space, all Japanese plants had to halt operations.

The problem was then simply solved by transferring the data to a server with larger capacity. The company itself stated: The issue arose after a regular maintenance of the servers.

But many gamers are probably quite familiar with the annoyance of overflowing storage. But then it is at most the installation of a new game that is postponed and not the production of thousands of vehicles.

Storage hunger is growing in gaming

The problem with full storage is well known to many gamers. Many modern games are getting larger and therefore require more free storage space:

Storage space is, however, a component where people tend to save money. It is only later that a larger hard drive or SSD is purchased afterward. Because upgrading a gaming PC with more storage is often not a big effort. The majority of players are still not prepared that games will become larger and more comprehensive in the future.

At least: A new SSD or hard drive is not very expensive, especially when compared to an expensive graphics card. Many games now require an SSD, which has various practical reasons. If you want to upgrade, go for an SSD or M2.SSD, provided your motherboard has the appropriate slot.

However, other users experience a big surprise when they buy a new SSD. One person recently found valuable data on a new SSD:

Pokémon GO: Trainer receives over 70,000 XP with just one throw – Here’s how he did it

In Pokémon GO, you can currently collect a lot of XP. A trainer took it to the next level with a brilliant throw.

What is happening in Pokémon GO? Currently, Pokémon GO is running the Paldea event with a very strong bonus: Currently, you receive four times XP and Stardust.

Anyone on the road to Level 50 needs a lot of experience points for that. That’s why the event is very worthwhile right now if you’re trying to boost your XP account. With fabulous throws, you can currently collect XP very well.

But one trainer achieved something truly impressive: User akajaykay (via reddit) earned a whopping 71,360 XP with a single throw and shared this success via screenshot in the Pokémon GO subreddit. We embed the post here:

How do you get so many XP in Pokémon GO at once?

This is how it worked: Crucial for the amount of XP is, on the one hand, the quadruple XP bonus that is already provided by the event. In addition, the user also activated a lucky egg, which doubles the bonuses again.

This resulted in an eightfold multiplier for the XP amounts generated by the throw. An example: The fabulous throw normally yields 1,000 XP. However, with the bonus combination with the lucky egg, it resulted in a whopping 8,000 XP.

But there were also additional bonuses for the throw:

  • 800 XP came from the catch itself
  • 2,000 XP was given because it was a new Pokémon, meaning one that the trainer did not have yet
  • A total of 12,000 XP was given for the first catch of the day
  • 160 XP for it being a curveball
  • 400 XP for the catch being successful with the first throw
  • And, very importantly: A total of 48,000 XP was awarded to the trainer for achieving the streak bonus. This is given for the first catch on the seventh day, if you have caught at least one Pokémon on each of the previous six days.

Together with the 8,000 XP for fabulous throws, the total ultimately amounted to 71,360 XP. Everything matched perfectly: The strong throw, a new Pokémon that stayed in the ball, and the fact that the seventh consecutive day had been reached.

By the way: Currently, you should not only pay attention to XP for fabulous throws, but also for the second master ball.

Pokémon GO brings the first Paldea Pokémon

Is there more to come? Already, there are plenty of XP that result from the throw. In theory, though, even more could have been possible. For instance, there are extra XP for an active Mega Evolution of the same type when catching.

Another possibility would have been to catch the monster in AR mode – that also brings extra XP if done correctly. If you manage to sneak up on a Pokémon in AR mode without it noticing and then catch it, you receive the Expert Handler Bonus, which also provides a few extra XP.

Interestingly, one trainer managed that way back in 2021 – and earned even more XP for a single throw.

Thanks to an “allowed” bug, you can have fun in an unpopular mode of Destiny 2 right now

Now and then, there are crazy moments in Destiny 2. This time it’s a bug that allows you to run over your enemies with your Sparrow. Normally, Bungie would quickly fix this. However, since it is so celebrated by the Guardians, the developer has decided to let you have fun with it.

What kind of bug is this? This week, the Iron Banner is running in Destiny 2 with the “Fortress” mode. It is considered one of the less popular modes by some players. But this time, something is different.

Thanks to an unexpected bug in Season 22, Sparrows suddenly take center stage.

  • On the PvP map “Multiplex” in the “Fortress” mode, you can currently eliminate your opponents not just with weapons but also by running them over with your Sparrow.

The reaction of the Destiny 2 community to the unusual bug has been nothing short of enthusiastic. Instead of getting upset about the bugs, the Guardians have decided to enjoy the fun to the fullest.

And this new Guardian enthusiasm even prompted Bungie to overlook it.

Select a MMO video…

This is how Bungie reacted to the Iron Banner bug: Many players expected an immediate disabling of Sparrows in the Iron Banner once the bug was known. The consensus is that things that are particularly fun for the Guardians are often quickly turned off by the developers. Especially in PvP, where it is player versus player.

But this time, the bug is not unfair and Bungie is letting it be. They communicated the following via Twitter/X:

Sparrows in Multiplex, huh? Life… well, it seems to find a way, we would say. Even though it wasn’t intended, it appears that some PvP players are enjoying the chaos, so we’re going to keep this bug around for a while. Stay tuned to Bungie Help for updates on the timeframe. Good luck and have fun, go for it!

commented Bungie via Twitter/X on the new bug in the Iron Banner of Destiny 2

This officially means the “Multiplex” racetrack is open.

“It’s a sign: Bring back ‘Combined Arms'”

This is what the community says about the fun kill race: Those of you who have played Destiny 1 may remember a mode in PvP where Guardians were allowed to zoom around on their agile Sparrows across the PvP map. These races always brought fast action to the Guardian battles.

  • In “Combined Arms,” Guardians faced off in two game modes on maps using vehicles and even fought from them.

Indeed, many players don’t mind it if Sparrows could remain active in Destiny 2 – without it being a bug in the game.

On one hand, there are maps, like “Separation” in Savathun’s Throne World, which are immensely large. Some Guardians have already wished they could take their ride back into the fight on the long way back.

rift-pvp-map-trennung-2022-destiny2-season17
The PvP map “Separation” in Savathun’s Throne World

On the other hand, Guardians think the idea isn’t so bad that maybe this old mode could be revived.

  • So Veilfire writes on Twitter/X: “Definitely one of the most entertaining moments in the Crucible ever. Vehicles [with “Combined Arms”] in the Crucible in Destiny 1 and now here in 2 are so much fun. Honestly, I’d love to see more of that.”
  • Kirainian Gaming thinks: “Vehicles in the Crucible would be great… Bungie, give me 8v8 and large maps with vehicles.”
  • And CyberPhoenixstrims even wishes for more: “This makes me wish for a car-Sparrow mode. But I believe PvP could still use some more silly rotating game modes.”

How cool it looks was also shown by countless videos on social media, where players captured their unexpected collisions with other Guardians.

How long can you exploit the bug? At the moment, it only works in the Iron Banner on the “Multiplex” map. This means you have to be patient until chance leads you there, and you can only experience it until next Tuesday. Because then Lord Saladin will pack his things again, fly back to the Cabal, and take the Iron Banner event with him.

If you’re lucky enough to land on the map, then don’t hesitate. Grab your Sparrow, chase your enemies, and let chaos run its course.

Sometimes bugs also have unexpected moments and are celebrated by the community instead of being hated. And who would have thought that it would be a bug that leads to an unpopular mode becoming an exciting experience in Destiny 2?


Tell us: Have you had the pleasure of being run over by a Sparrow in the Iron Banner on “Multiplex” or have you done the running over yourself? And what do you think about the desire to make a feature out of this bug to be more mobile on larger maps? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.

Other things in Destiny 2, however, are not as well-received as this announced nerf:

The storyteller in Baldur’s Gate 3 was supposed to really finish you off originally

In Baldur’s Gate 3 the narrator accompanies us step by step, mostly as a neutral observer. However, the narrator Amelia Tyler was originally much more malevolent. MeinMMO reveals what lies behind it.

What happened? In Baldur’s Gate 3, the narrator plays a significant role by accompanying players through their adventures, whether in moments of triumph or failure.

Most of the time, she remains a neutral observer who comments on the events. But it could have taken a completely different direction. The narrator Amelia Tyler was originally much more ruthless and malevolent.

Here you will find 5 helpful tips for your journey in Baldur’s Gate 3:

5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3

Cruel narrator would have been “too exhausting” for players in the long run

In a recent interview with TheGamer , Amelia Tyler, the voice behind the narrator and game master of Baldur’s Gate 3, revealed that her original interpretation of the narrator was much meaner.

Originally, she accompanied players on their journey and commented on their actions with a certain degree of malice, similar to Scar from “The Lion King”. She was meant to watch players fail and take delight in it.

Tyler explained to TheGamer:

The version in Early Access was more like an outside Dungeon Master. The direction I received was: “Think of Scar from The Lion King” – I enjoy watching you fail. That will be great.

Amelia Tyler

Why was it changed? However, this vengeful approach was discarded in the Early Access of the game and replaced with a gentler narrator. This narrator and game master felt less like a separate entity challenging players, but more like an inner voice in their heads.

Amelia Tyler emphasized:

[…] I am in their heads all their lives, and I know how they think, and I fully agree with every decision they make. […] Unless they roll a 1, then I am merciless.[…].

Amelia Tyler

The decision to soften the narrator’s cruelty allowed players to make their own choices without constant judgment. Amelia Tyler explained that she wanted the narrator to feel like an inner voice in the players’ heads. Accepting their decisions until a critical failure occurs.

Tyler explained that the decision for the change also stemmed from the fact that the cruel version would have been “too exhausting” for players over a long gaming session and would have diminished the fun.

Although the original cruel version of the narrator did not make it into the game, players still have the opportunity to hear Tyler’s outtakes from the recording session on her TikTok channel. The outtakes offer a humorous glimpse behind the scenes.

German Twitch streamer gets locked in supermarket at night

The vlogger Ronny Berger organized a cycling trip from Hamburg to Copenhagen. There are 8 other German content creators along, including Twitch streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler. A curious incident occurred in a supermarket.

What kind of action is this? Ronny Berger started on September 2, 2023, together with some colleagues from the German Twitch and YouTube scene on a cycling tour. Over the 350 kilometers from Hamburg to Copenhagen, the chaotic crew was almost continuously live.

This resulted in nearly 100 hours of streams, providing plenty of entertainment for the viewers. Already in the first minutes, one of the participants lost his bicycle, and after a few meters, the group accidentally left the first participant behind.

A particularly curious incident occurred in a Danish supermarket: Ronny Berger took a bit too long in the restroom and was promptly locked in.

Streamers constantly come up with crazy actions to entertain their viewers.

How did he manage that? The group took a break at a Danish shopping center after a long day on their bicycles. At Netto – the one with the black dog – they stocked up on snacks and consumed them in the parking lot.

Before they mounted their bikes again, a few people went to the restroom, as one does. However, Ronny Berger took a bit too long on the white throne, as in the meantime the store was closed, with the Twitch streamer on the wrong side of the door.

The employee who had locked the store was already on her way to go home when she was caught up by Ronny’s buddies. As the gate slowly goes up, one can hear the content creators whispering: Who has a few crowns to give the savior as a tip?

Ronny Berger shared the incident on Twitter/X:

The group is visibly embarrassed by the action and they apologize multiple times to the employee. However, Ronny takes the matter with humor: That would be an idea for a video as well, 24 hours in the supermarket.

On September 6, the content creators actually made it fully and relatively unscathed to Copenhagen (via Twitter).

Such IRL streams are currently extremely popular on Twitch, but a lot can go wrong:

Is cycling slowly becoming the new meta on Twitch? For Ronny Berger, this is not his first tour of this kind, and other influencers also like to pedal for content – or a good cause:

EA Sports FC 24: All leagues, licenses and competitions for the new FIFA successor

In EA Sports FC 24 you can once again rely on numerous stars from leagues around the world. EA Sports also retains the licenses for the most important European competitions, which will remain an important part of Ultimate Team.

Which new leagues will be in FC 24? In addition to the women’s leagues in the USA, France, and England that were already present in FIFA 23, the top teams from Germany and Spain will now also be playable. This represents a significant innovation for Ultimate Team, as all female players will be added to the player pool of the most popular game mode.

Below, we provide an overview of all the leagues and competitions that will be included in FC 24.

All Leagues and Licenses for EA Sports FC 24

Will there also be new men’s teams? For the men’s leagues, no changes have been announced. Initial leaks of teams and players suggest that EA Sports will retain all licenses of the international top teams for FC 24.

However, it is possible that EA Sports may surprise us with one or two new international teams. We will learn more, when all player ratings are released and we get a look at the complete database.

We have compiled tables with all countries and their respective leagues for you. Bolded are the leagues that will be new in FC 24. We obtained our information from the official EA page:

So, you see all leagues compactly compiled. The Brazilian league remains, despite many hopes and wishes from fans, still just a dream for now. Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the Ukrainian and Russian leagues have also not been found in FIFA, and it seems that will also be the case in EA Sports FC 24.

All Competitions in EA Sports FC 24

Which competitions are included in FC 24? Alongside the licensed leagues, major competitions, especially at the international level, will once again have their place in FC 24. New to the game is the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

In the context of the release of the Champions League Heroes for FC 24, we think it is likely that the women’s Champions League could also play a role in Ultimate Team.

Let’s take a quick look at the competitions for which EA Sports holds the licenses.

European Competitions:

  • UEFA Champions League
  • UEFA Women’s Champions League
  • UEFA Europa League
  • UEFA Europa Conference League

South American Competitions:

  • CONMEBOL Libertadores
  • CONMEBOL Sudamericana

We hope you are now well informed about the licenses of all leagues and competitions.

We want to know from you which leagues or competitions you feel are missing in EA Sports FC 24? Feel free to write it in the comments.

If you can hardly wait for the launch of the new FIFA successor, we have a forecast for you on when you could at least get started on the Web App.

The survival game Conan Exile rolls back all servers by several days because players lost their companions due to a bug

The players of Conan Exiles are losing several days of progress because a game bug made their companions disappear.

What are companions in Conan Exiles? In Funcom’s survival game Conan Exiles, human NPC companions play an important role. You can capture them as slaves and turn them into so-called “Thralls”. They are, in a way, serfs who take on certain tasks and assist you.

Thralls can take on different roles within your group depending on their profession. There are craftsmen like carpenters and blacksmiths, priests and artists, as well as fighters and archers.

To make an NPC your serf, you must knock them unconscious with a club, drag them to your base while bound, and then break their will with a torture device. However, you should not forget that you need to provide food during the torture.

Start video
Conan Exiles in the introductory video

In the day-to-day life of Conan Exiles, your enslaved companions play an important role and are a considerable help. It is especially tragic when players lose a number of thralls – possibly even high-level ones – due to a bug.

Game bug becomes the liberator of the oppressed

What kind of bug was it? On September 2nd, there was a bug in Conan Exiles that reduced the decay timer of the thralls to one day – regardless of how much time was previously left on the timer.

If the timer expires because one has not logged into the game for 15 days, the companions are gone.

The bug and the reduced timer led to many players losing their thralls according to “Conan Exiles” developer Funcom (via forums.funcom.com).

Why did the players lose their progress? Although Funcom was able to fix the bug by the next morning, they decided to perform a rollback on the evening of September 3rd due to the lost thralls.

As a result of the rollback, the developers reset the game state of all 780 servers to a backup from September 1st. All players thereby lost the progress they made in Conan Exiles in the meantime but got their valuable companions back.

Additionally, Funcom promised compensation for the inconveniences and the losses incurred over the weekend. Accordingly, from September 4th to September 11th, 2023, the XP gain, gathering speed, and conversion rate of thralls and pets will be increased.

Valorant: Riot admits to a mistake under high pressure from fans, changes tough decision

In the tactical shooter Valorant, there is trouble in e-sports: The team “The Guard” had actually qualified for the 1st league, but Riot Games withdrew “The Guard’s” opportunity for promotion due to management issues within the team. Much to the dismay of the fans, no team would be promoted in 2024. Now Riot is backtracking.

This was the conflict:

  • The e-sports team “The Guard” had qualified for promotion to the 1st league of Valorant during 2023.
  • However, Riot Games decided on August 29 that the team would not be allowed to be promoted – and also no other team. “The Guard” had failed to sign a specific agreement over several months. However, Riot did not want to simply promote the second-place team in the promotion battle because one should earn promotion within the game, not outside of it.
  • However, the decision not to allow a team that fought so hard to be promoted sparked much protest among the fans.

Valorant is an up-and-coming e-sports title:

This is Riot Games’ new decision: On September 1, Riot Games reversed the decision. 10,000 people had signed an online petition advocating for The Guard to be allowed to be promoted to the 1st league (via change.org)

The e-sports chief, Leo Faria, stated that they acted too quickly with the original decision and quickly realized that a mistake had been made. The feedback from the fans made that clear.

The new decision states: The players of The Guard could either separate and look for new teams or they could stay together and be promoted to the 1st league if they find a new organization that signs them.

xQc expresses interest in taking over the team

Who is now the hope? The Twitch streamer xQc has expressed interest in signing the players of “The Guard” and letting them compete in 2024 under a new organization.

However, there are some catches:

Additionally, xQc said it could be expensive to buy the team, as a Tier-1 team like that costs a lot in terms of accommodation and salary. Building all of that also takes time.

But it’s probably more about xQc failing to execute a project consistently rather than the money.

WoW: With this trick I farmed all Dream Jump rewards in one evening

The new rewards from the Dreamsurges in World of Warcraft can be farmed quickly – if you know how to do it. With this trick, you’ll be done in one evening.

The Patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath is live, and one of the new features is the so-called Dreamsurges. Each week, an area of the Dragon Isles is plagued by strange occurrences related to the Emerald Dream. There’s bonus reputation and a new currency called “Dreamsurge Coalescence”.

With this currency, you can buy not only loads of equipment for alternate characters but also cool mounts, pets, and toys. What was originally meant to be a farming effort over several weeks, you can accomplish in just a few hours with a simple trick.

Farming Dreamsurge Coalescence – up to 200 pieces in 5 minutes

What is this trick? The primary source of income for Dreamsurge Coalescence is world quests and rare enemies. However, there is another very fruitful source: green clouds that you find everywhere in the currently active area. When you fly through these clouds with your dragon, you will receive some Dreamsurge Coalescence and also Welpling fragments.

WoW Dreamsurge Bubble Green
You can find the green clouds everywhere – and they can be collected quickly.

You can find these “green clouds” everywhere – especially in towers or natural “rock arches” that you can fly through beautifully.

I spent a good two hours just collecting these green clouds – and while my dragon’s energy was recovering, I wrote this article.

That was enough for me to be able to buy all the rewards from the vendor that I want.

How much do you collect? That depends on how much is going on in your realm and how well you can handle the dragon. When I was out yesterday around 10 PM in war mode, where there are hardly any players on my realm, I was able to collect about 8–10 of the green clouds per minute.

Each of these green clouds gives 1–5 Dreamsurge Coalescence, so you will average around 27 Dreamsurge Coalescence per minute.

WoW Dreamsurge Rewards
There are many rewards – but they are quickly farmed.

The calculation above is, however, very conservative. Once I knew where the clouds spawn and had a route that suited me, I was able to get around 150 – 200 Dreamsurge Coalescence in 5 minutes.

Even if you do not farm all the rewards this way, you can still save a lot of time or simply kill a few minutes during the wait for a dungeon or a battleground.

An additional tip to finish: Use an “Ink Black Potion” or the toy “Shadow Scales” to set the sky to night. This makes the surroundings darker and the green clouds are bright and visible even from a great distance.

Have you farmed all the rewards yet? Do you know of an even more effective method?

You can also farm another mount quickly – the “Krustiger Kriecher” in under 2 hours.

DOTA 2: Player holds 9 others hostage for 3 hours because he is hungry

In the MOBA DOTA 2 (Steam) there was a bizarre situation last week: A player paused a match for 3 hours because he was hungry. The other 9 players had to remain idle in the match, as they were not nice enough to lift the pause. Players are now demanding that Valve revise the newly designed pause function.

This was the situation:

As reported by the site 3D Juegos , a bizarre situation occurred in a match in DOTA 2:

  • After about 10 minutes in the match, the player SergaSpos went afk on the character “Ember Spirit”. He was probably hungry and wanted to eat something.
  • Through a special feature that he had unlocked by good behavior, he was able to pause the game. A system that regulates this function was only introduced on August 30 (via hawk.live)
  • The man stayed away and only returned after 3 hours. Until then, the other 9 players could not continue the match and could not leave without penalty.

Dota 2 – The New Frontiers Update

Player abuses new pause function

What is the reason? This pause function has not been available to every player in DOTA 2 since August 30, but only to players who have an impeccable reputation and have a “Behavior Score” over 5,000. If a player falls below this value, they lose the ability to pause a game and lift the pause.

The player of Ember Spirit was the only one of the 10 players in this match who had achieved such a high behavior score.

Only he could use the pause function – all others were excluded from it. And anyone who leaves the match too early would continue to drop in their behavior score.

  • One says: ‘He deserves it, he’s a good boy.’

Science fiction film with dystopian setting attracted only a few moviegoers – For critics one of the best films of 2022

Vesper Chronicles was released in theaters last year. If you can’t remember the film, you’re not alone: the film performed well below expectations and attracted only a few viewers. However, it is considered promising by critics.

What is the film about? Vesper Chronicles is set in a dystopian future where a lab-created organism wiped out all edible plants, animals, and a large part of humanity.

After the event, the environment has become so inhospitable that survival on Earth is challenging. Dangerous plants lurk around every corner, which could mean death. Moreover, people are suffering from hunger, as there are hardly any seeds left to grow enough food.

Some of humanity found refuge in citadels, while another part struggles to survive in the brutal nature. Among this group is 14-year-old bio-hacker Vesper, who lives in a small cabin with her paralyzed father.

One day, a citadel spacecraft crashes. Vesper finds the young woman Camellia, who survived the crash. From this fateful encounter, a bigger drama unfolds than it initially seems.

The official trailer for Vesper Chronicles can be found on the KinoCheck YouTube channel:

How successful was the film? The film underperformed at the box office. It was released in theaters about a year ago but could only attract a few visitors. Despite a modest budget of 5 million US dollars, the film only grossed 1.576 million US dollars.

The few people who saw the film in theaters are also divided in their opinions. The film has a rating of only 59% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it scores only 6 out of 10 on IMDb.

However, the film received exceptionally positive reviews from professional critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the press gives it a score of 91%.

The positive points of Vesper Chronicles include:

  • An original story
  • Great performances by the actors
  • Convincing special effects
  • Not as overloaded as many sci-fi blockbusters

Even jeuxvideo.com believes that Vesper Chronicles is one of the best productions of 2022. They highlight the original and charming, dystopian setting. Moreover, the actors deliver a more than convincing performance.

Cinema-goers explain what they didn’t like about the film

On Rotten Tomatoes, viewers explain what they didn’t like about the film. Many criticize the film’s length. At times it felt like the film was artificially stretched to fit the movie theater format.

Especially the middle part of the film is said to be unnecessary at times. MeinMMO has gathered some of these critiques to capture the mood:

  • Edward H: ‘So boring, I can’t believe I made it to the end. But I needed a few breaks to get there.’
  • Luis S: ‘It started well, but ended without any answers.’
  • Badgerryan 1: ‘I liked the world and atmosphere of the film, but everything else was boring to me. Maybe I’m not smart enough, but I just didn’t like it.’

In the comments, there are also some voices that report only positive things about the film. Since the film not only divides humanity in the story, but also in reality, you should see for yourself if the sci-fi film is something for you.

Quantum Knights MMORPG Knights with firearms

From the gameplay, you can expect the use of various weapons and items. You will see in the trailer, among other things, machine guns, shotguns, and grenades that you can use to smash the monsters.

At least in the trailer, the battles seem very interesting and balanced. Effects are used throughout to presumably emphasize the magical aspect, but they are not overwhelming. On the contrary, they add a bit of color to the otherwise rather gloomy world.

Graphically, Quantum Knights is definitely eye-catching. The cutscenes are also worth seeing and contribute to the overall atmosphere of the trailer, making it enjoyable to watch until the end.

Recently, we introduced you to another MMORPG from South Korea that is planned for release this year.

Players hope for playable characters of non-human races

And right at the end of the trailer, something is teased that makes players attentive and curious in the comments (via Youtube).

Non-human, ogre-like allies slide into the scene, ready to assist you in battle. Whether this means that you can also create a character of another race is not clear, but it is definitely something players hope for.

What do you think of this concept? Will you continue to follow Quantum Knights? Feel free to share your opinion with us.

A new and interesting concept is also promised by this game:

Pokémon GO: In just 17 days to the first form of Zygarde, this is how you find 50 cells easily

  • Odd-Substance9040: I have personally completed a total of 23 routes, two different tracks, I did the restart trick, the trick of stopping and ending the route, and going back, and still, no Z cells have appeared for me. My partner did all these routes with me on her phone and got exactly the same results. For some of us, the route function is more than faulty.

More tips: Some players also give additional hints about the cells in the comments. For example, Birphon recommends that before starting the route, one should catch all Pokémon in the area, then activate the route and catch all monsters on the route.

Accordingly, a maximum of 3 so-called route spawns can appear, which you can recognize by the corresponding symbol above the monster. If you could catch 3 of these Pokémon, then there should be no cell on this route.

Other trainers also report that they were able to secure more than 3 cells per day. So that could motivate to complete a few more routes. However, one big question mark remains whether there are cells to be found on round routes where the start and end are the same.

Experiences with route submissions: Regarding route submissions, other trainers also share their experiences in the comments. They have also noticed that some routes appear immediately in the game while others take weeks to approve.

For this reason, some trainers suggest that it may not depend on the number of routes, but their location. As seen in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • SnackOnMe: I had a similar experience during my vacation in a remote mountain area, there were 0 routes and only two gyms nearby. I created 3 routes and all were available immediately after creation. (I was basically able to walk in one direction, submit the route, and follow my own route back)
  • stevewmn: I received 2 instant approvals in a city where there are routes, but they are a bit further away. I would estimate it’s about a mile away in a straight line from the nearest one. The way Niantic analyzes its map, I suspect that an S2 cell is in play, not a village boundary. Maybe S2 level 11? Just a guess based on the routes I know.

  • OutRagousGameR: I wasn’t aware that some routes don’t spawn cells. I thought that if a route gives a cell, it would always do so. It was frustrating when the routes, which were giving me cells, stopped doing so. I think I will try a few routes before I give up.

Accordingly, a maximum of 3 so-called route spawns can appear, which you can recognize by the corresponding symbol above the monster. If you could catch 3 of these Pokémon, then there should be no cell on this route.

Other trainers also report that they were able to secure more than 3 cells per day. So that could motivate to complete a few more routes. However, one big question mark remains whether there are cells to be found on round routes where the start and end are the same.

Experiences with route submissions: Regarding route submissions, other trainers also share their experiences in the comments. They have also noticed that some routes appear immediately in the game while others take weeks to approve.

For this reason, some trainers suggest that it may not depend on the number of routes, but their location. As seen in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • SnackOnMe: I had a similar experience during my vacation in a remote mountain area, there were 0 routes and only two gyms nearby. I created 3 routes and all were available immediately after creation. (I was basically able to walk in one direction, submit the route, and follow my own route back)
  • stevewmn: I received 2 instant approvals in a city where there are routes, but they are a bit further away. I would estimate it’s about a mile away in a straight line from the nearest one. The way Niantic analyzes its map, I suspect that an S2 cell is in play, not a village boundary. Maybe S2 level 11? Just a guess based on the routes I know.

What are your experiences with the Zygarde cells? Have you been able to secure the 50% form of the legendary monster as well? Or are you also struggling with issues in the game? Let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments.

You can secure the legendary Pokémon independently of the cells in a research task. We show you all tasks and rewards for the special research From A to Zygarde.

  • medellia44: It’s a shame that the last update has completely ruined the route function for me. The game completely freezes when I even try to open this tab.
  • OutRagousGameR: I wasn’t aware that some routes don’t spawn cells. I thought that if a route gives a cell, it would always do so. It was frustrating when the routes, which were giving me cells, stopped doing so. I think I will try a few routes before I give up.
  • Odd-Substance9040: I have personally completed a total of 23 routes, two different tracks, I did the restart trick, the trick of stopping and ending the route, and going back, and still, no Z cells have appeared for me.

Accordingly, a maximum of 3 so-called route spawns can appear, which you can recognize by the corresponding symbol above the monster. If you could catch 3 of these Pokémon, then there should be no cell on this route.

Other trainers also report that they were able to secure more than 3 cells per day. So that could motivate to complete a few more routes. However, one big question mark remains whether there are cells to be found on round routes where the start and end are the same.

Experiences with route submissions: Regarding route submissions, other trainers also share their experiences in the comments. They have also noticed that some routes appear immediately in the game while others take weeks to approve.

For this reason, some trainers suggest that it may not depend on the number of routes, but their location. As seen in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • SnackOnMe: I had a similar experience during my vacation in a remote mountain area, there were 0 routes and only two gyms nearby. I created 3 routes and all were available immediately after creation. (I was basically able to walk in one direction, submit the route, and follow my own route back)
  • stevewmn: I received 2 instant approvals in a city where there are routes, but they are a bit further away. I would estimate it’s about a mile away in a straight line from the nearest one. The way Niantic analyzes its map, I suspect that an S2 cell is in play, not a village boundary. Maybe S2 level 11? Just a guess based on the routes I know.

In Pokémon GO, the Zygarde cells drive trainers to despair. Now, one player shows how he reached the 50% form in just 17 days and explains how he managed it. We at MeinMMO have summarized his tips for you and show the reactions of the community.

Which cells are we talking about? Since the end of July, there has been a new route feature in Pokémon GO, where you can encounter so-called Zygarde cells. However, many trainers are still having great difficulties more than 6 weeks after the release.

While some still have no routes at all, others are despairing over the Zygarde cells because they simply do not appear. A Reddit user has now achieved a first milestone and managed to secure the 50% form of Zygarde within 17 days. How he did this is summarized for you below.

Trainer explains how he found 50 Zygarde cells

What did the player achieve? Like most other trainers, the Reddit user EmreSwiss1987 set out to search for the Zygarde cells. And he succeeded, as he reports in his post.

He was initially delayed in starting his search for the special cells due to the lack of routes but managed to reach a significant milestone in a short time. So, within 17 days, he was able to secure enough Zygarde cells to transform the legendary Pokémon into its 50% form. With his experiences, he now wants to help other trainers.

He writes (via reddit.com):

I wanted to share my experience on how I got 50 Zygarde cells in the shortest time, i.e., in 17 days, collecting 3 cells each day. I wasn’t able to play routes right after the release of Zygarde, but once I was able to access routes, it went pretty quickly.

I know that probably most of the information is already known, but here is my experience, maybe it’s helpful for some.

How did he do it? According to EmreSwiss1987, he walked several routes daily for 17 days until he found 3 cells each time. In the further course of the post, he summarizes his experiences around the Zygarde cells to help other players (via reddit.com):

  • He was able to collect a maximum of 3 cells per day; after that, no more would appear.
  • On most routes, he could secure only one cell, and on one route, even 2.
  • A route counts as the same track even if you walk it in the opposite direction or a second time on the same day. It thus does not yield further cells.
  • The majority of his cells appeared in the last 100 meters.
  • 80% of the cells could only be seen by restarting the game.
  • Not every route spawns cells daily.

He also noted that the approval of his submitted routes in areas where there were already routes took longer than in areas without routes.

How does the community react to the tips about the cells?

Frustration among other trainers: Although other trainers have already given these tips and been successful, there is one prevailing sentiment in the community: frustration. Many have been trying to find the Zygarde cells for weeks and regularly walk routes, but without success. Even with the tips, they are simply unable to achieve it.

It seems that the game is still buggy in many places, as general problems with routes are repeatedly mentioned. Nevertheless, players are grateful for all tips. Here’s what they write in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • stevewmn: I received 2 instant approvals in a city where there are routes, but they are a bit further away. I would estimate it’s about a mile away in a straight line from the nearest one. The way Niantic analyzes its map, I suspect that an S2 cell is in play, not a village boundary. Maybe S2 level 11? Just a guess based on the routes I know.

  • Odd-Substance9040: I have personally completed a total of 23 routes, two different tracks, I did the restart trick, the trick of stopping and ending the route, and going back, and still, no Z cells have appeared for me. My partner did all these routes with me on her phone and got exactly the same results. For some of us, the route function is more than faulty.

More tips: Some players also give additional hints about the cells in the comments. For example, Birphon recommends that before starting the route, one should catch all Pokémon in the area, then activate the route and catch all monsters on the route.

Accordingly, a maximum of 3 so-called route spawns can appear, which you can recognize by the corresponding symbol above the monster. If you could catch 3 of these Pokémon, then there should be no cell on this route.

Other trainers also report that they were able to secure more than 3 cells per day. So that could motivate to complete a few more routes. However, one big question mark remains whether there are cells to be found on round routes where the start and end are the same.

Other trainers also report that they were able to secure more than 3 cells per day. So that could motivate to complete a few more routes. However, one big question mark remains whether there are cells to be found on round routes where the start and end are the same.

For this reason, some trainers suggest that it may not depend on the number of routes, but their location. As seen in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • SnackOnMe: I had a similar experience during my vacation in a remote mountain area, there were 0 routes and only two gyms nearby. I created 3 routes and all were available immediately after creation. (I was basically able to walk in one direction, submit the route, and follow my own route back)

Gamer buys Nvidia graphics card directly on Amazon, instead receives a part that is almost worthless

A gamer ordered an RTX 4080 on Amazon. But when he opens his package, he finds out that it doesn’t work properly.

A player wanted to save money and ordered a used RTX 4080 directly through Amazon. But instead of the graphics card, he receives only the air cooler. The board with the graphics chip is missing. This is reported by the user on reddit.com.

Why can’t he do anything with it? Important calculations or rendering of data are handled by the graphics chip. The entire cooling system is only there to keep the graphics chip cool so that it doesn’t overheat under heavy load. Normally, the cooling element is the cheapest component of the graphics card. And the cooling system can’t really be used outside of a GPU either.

Buyers remove the graphics chip and return the cooler

What is the problem? Some users order a graphics card for their computer on Amazon. However, those who want to equip their graphics card with a water cooler don’t need the air cooler. They then return this air cooler to Amazon. Some users believe: Amazon only checks products for their external appearance and not whether they actually work. Therefore, it goes unnoticed if the board with the graphics chip is missing upon return.

Another user on reddit adds that many sellers or shipping employees at Amazon probably cannot distinguish a cooler from a complete graphics card. He explains:

Most people don’t even know what hardware is supposed to look like. A random Amazon employee probably doesn’t know what they are looking at, let alone what should be in the packaging.

He himself once bought a power supply on Amazon and found a completely different model in the box. He noticed that when unpacking.

Such fake products on Amazon are indeed not unusual and it happens regularly, that gamers order a graphics card and instead receive a wrong product.

Scams and fraud with graphics cards are increasingly common on Amazon

What is the problem with such fraud? At first glance, the purchased product and the seller seem reliable. The next buyer might only notice the exchange in the box under the worst circumstances.

And this person has a problem if the purchased product doesn’t work or isn’t present at all. Because in the worst case, the seller considers this buyer to be a fraudster. This happened to a father who wanted to report a fake graphics card on Amazon.

Can one protect oneself against such things? Many people now recommend making a video when unpacking particularly expensive hardware:

  • Because if you then hold fake goods or simply the wrong product in your hands, you at least have the evidence on your side.
  • Moreover, you can prove that you did not swap the goods, but that someone else must have been the villain before you.

But there is also good news about Amazon. One user, for instance, reported that he managed to get a high-end graphics card on Amazon for surprisingly little money. How he did that, you can read in the following article on MeinMMO:

A gamer got very lucky and bought an RTX 4090 for 913 euros with a trick on Amazon – How did he do that?

Blizzard CEO says Asmongold is too bad for hard raids in WoW

At World of Warcraft there is a discussion about whether WoW has become too difficult for “normal” players. Blizzard’s president Mike Ybarra believes that Twitch streamer Asmongold’s criticism of WoW comes from his inability to succeed in heroic and mythic raids. The Twitch streamer, who has not raided for 7 years, responds to this.

This was the situation:

  • The Twitch streamer Maximum, a World-First-Raider, watched a video by Asmongold in which he spoke about the situation of WoW (Why World of Warcrafts Needs a Reset). In the video, Asmongold demanded that Blizzard completely redesign WoW in the next 3 expansions and streamline it.
  • Suddenly, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra appeared in the streamer’s chat and said: “The problem is that he cannot successfully raid Mythic and Heroic.” This is an accusation that many players make against Asmongold: the most famous critic of WoW does not participate in high-level raids, so he is not an expert and cannot contribute to the discussion.
  • Twitch streamer Maximum shared this criticism: Asmongold plays too little WoW and is no longer up to date. Asmongold has a “doom-and-gloom” audience that believes everything he says, which gives him an extreme amount of self-confidence: however, he is often wrong in his views.

The criticism from the Blizzard chief prompted Asmongold to respond, who justified himself. More about Asmongold:

Start video
Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”

Asmongold says: Raids in WoW have become too hard since 2010

What does Asmongold say about this? Asmongold fundamentally agrees with the allegations. If you play too little WoW, you lose touch. But even if you play WoW as a job, you can no longer relate to the perspective of the average player. Because the average player does not play WoW that much.

Ultimately, everyone has their views and one is as good as the other.

Asmongold believes that raids in WoW have become too difficult for most “normal players” since Cataclysm (2010):

  • During Wrath of the Lich King (2008), groups for Heroic runs were constantly being sought in the trade chat on his then server.
  • With Cataclysm, the search for random groups in chat stopped: raiding in a random group became too difficult from then on.
  • Even his mother suddenly stopped raiding in WoW with Cataclysm because it had become too difficult.

Mike Ybarra.

According to Asmongold, WoW players at that time also began approaching the increasingly difficult raids with increasingly sophisticated addons.

As Asmongold explains, the steadily increasing difficulty of the raids is a visible problem for Blizzard: because participation in raids statistically continues to decline. WoW Hardcore is now a reaction to the fact that hardly anyone wants to play the new, difficult raids.

Asmongold assures: he has no problem with Mike Ybarra and does not take the criticism personally. In fact, he likes the man.

Why did Asmongold stop raiding? Asmongold says his main reason for stopping raiding 7 years ago was that the raids and the raid preparations conflicted with his Twitch stream. When he had to handle guild and raid items, he had to turn off or mute the stream, which bored his viewers and ultimately harmed his stream.

Today, he does not want to invest time in raiding anymore because raids do not feel rewarding: every 4 months, a raider has to renew their gear, which devalues it.

How does Asmongold perceive his criticism? The streamer presents himself in the video as notably humble and says he is willing to change his opinion if someone provides him with convincing data that contradicts his views. He states that he strives to articulate his criticism based on data and is willing to reconsider.

But at the moment, Asmongold seems to maintain the view that the “hard raids” in WoW are made for too few players and that he enjoyed raiding during the Wrath of the Lich King much more than now.

WoW: So easy to earn 1,000 Travel Points and unlock the cool mount

Do you want the “Crusty Crawler” mount in World of Warcraft? We will show you how to unlock it in under 2 hours.

In the trading post of World of Warcraft, there are great rewards every month. Especially the final reward for completing the travel journal is always eye-catching. This time, there is the “Crusty Crawler” – a stylish blue crab that moves sideways.

We will reveal how you can unlock the crab in less than two hours.

Why is the crab so worthwhile? Crab mounts are a special feature in World of Warcraft. This model has only been available once before, hidden in Vash’jir behind weeks or even months of farming, which also required a lot of luck. Therefore, it is worth getting the blue crab from the trading post while you have the opportunity.

Below, we show you the simplest and most efficient tasks to unlock the “Crusty Crawler” in just a few hours. We have considered synergy effects, allowing multiple missions to be completed at the same time.

What do you need to do to unlock it? To unlock “Crusty Crawler,” you must collect a total of 1,000 travel points in the travel journal in September 2023 and pick up the reward at the trading post (Stormwind or Orgrimmar) afterward.

Complete 30 quests

Reward: 200 travel points

The task is self-explanatory. You simply need to complete 30 quests during the month. Since there are some new quests at the start of a new patch, this should be no problem at all. Particularly rewarding is that world quests also count towards this.

Complete 15 world quests

Reward: 150 travel points

Together with the mission to complete 30 quests, you can quickly accumulate 350 points, which is already a third of the necessary travel points. Keep in mind that you can also be active in the Zaralek Caverns for world quests. Also, for the new dream jumps, completing world quests is necessary – just connect these tasks.

Gain reputation on the islands

Reward: 150 travel points

You need to gather a total of 4,000 reputation points to complete this step. You can wonderfully do this “in the background” while completing world quests or following the new story missions. Be sure to accept the quest from Therazal in Valdrakken beforehand, for which you also need to gather reputation. Once you have collected 3,000 reputation points here, you can turn in the quest and receive another 2,000 reputation points, which will immediately complete this task.

Create Shadowflame emblems

Reward: 150 travel points

This mission is also very easy. You just have to create 3 Shadowflame emblems – at any level. Since you receive the Welplings emblem fragments during world quests and while opening treasures, this should also be easily completed “on the side”.

Complete weekly crafting quests

Reward: 100 travel points

You will receive 100 points if you complete 2 of the weekly crafting quests. You get these quests in Valdrakken. They usually require you to craft some items from your profession – sometimes you just need to turn in resources, such as herbs, ores, or enchanting dust. You can also complete this step on an alternate character and grab the 100 points in just a few seconds.

Collect 100 Dreamjump Unions

Reward: 100 travel points

You are simply showered with flight stones for almost everything in the endgame. Whether story quests, world quests, killing rare enemies, or looting treasures, you will collect flight stones naturally while fulfilling the other assignments.

However, be careful not to hit the cap of 2,000 flight stones – otherwise, you cannot collect any more. If in doubt, spend flight stones in the village of Loamm to free up space.

Collect 400 flight stones

Reward: 100 travel points

You should take a look at the new dream jumps feature at least once because there are also mounts, pets, and toys there. Just check the world map for where a dream jump is currently active. If you defeat rare enemies or complete world quests in that area, you will receive “Dreamjump Unions.” You can farm 100 of these in just a few minutes and often combine them with other tasks (like completing 15 world quests).

Complete a time rift

Reward: 50 travel points

At every full hour, a time rift starts northeast of Valdrakken. You just need to successfully complete one of them to receive this reward. It is important for completion that you defeat the final boss that appears behind the portal at the end – everything before that is not relevant. The portal opens exactly 9 minutes after the start of a time rift.


Of course, you can also complete other tasks and save some missions you don’t want to do. However, the missions presented here ensure the fastest progress and should get you the crab in less than 2 hours.

However, if you visit many dungeons or raids, you can also take it slow – because you will also gain plenty of travel points there.

Have you already picked up the crab?

Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to get rid of Sylvester Stallone, but 10 years later he realized how silly that is

That Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were rivals for years is no secret. In the 90s, they set aside their disputes. After 10 years of rivalry, they realized: This is ridiculous.

In the 80s, there was real competition for the best projects between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. The Terminator actor tricked the other action hero and attached a really bad movie to him.

The argument really started with a thrown flower pot. 10 years later, the two actors sat together and found out how silly it actually is. Nowadays they shoot action movies together.

Start video
“Sarah Connor” thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger was just a bodybuilder pretending to be an actor

Performance Comes from Competition

This is what it was about with the flower pot: At the 1977 Golden Globe Awards, the two met. Schwarzenegger grinned in Stallone’s direction when the Rocky films came up empty at the event. Stallone then lost his cool: He threw a flower pot in his direction. More about this you can find out from our colleagues at Moviepilot.

This is how the two feuding actors came together: In an interview with Forbes, Arnold Schwarzenegger says that the two actors realized in the 90s that it was all actually silly:

But he just saw me as an enemy, just in his own little vision, and I saw him as an enemy, and I had to get rid of him, and he had to get rid of me, and that was it. Then, in the 90s, we came together and said, this is ridiculous, let’s just work together, and we became really good friends.

Arnold Schwarzenegger via Forbes

Sylvester Stallone describes the situation in an interview with Variety on YouTube similarly: “We couldn’t stand existing in the same galaxy. Now we realize: We are the same person.”

Today they co-star in action films like The Expendables and Escape Plan.

In principle, it was good that there was this competition between Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Schwarzenegger said in May 2023 to Forbes that performance arises from competition (via forbes.com). They wanted to surpass each other. “That drove our performances and our success at the box office […] up,” said Schwarzenegger.

Sylvester Stallone stated in November 2022 to Forbes that the competition was not healthy at all. They truly “disdained” each other.

While Stallone excelled with films like Rambo, Schwarzenegger was able to catch up. Filmstarts reports on how Stallone put it succinctly: “He wanted to be number 1 and unfortunately he succeeded.”

In Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger also wanted to surpass his rival Sylvester Stallone. The screenwriter and director of the film had the idea that Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear this time not as the villain, but as a good machine.” However, the actor was skeptical.

Because actually, Arnold Schwarzenegger had quite different, more brutal plans for his character:

Starfield: Companion can pronounce hundreds of player names – But the selection was apparently created by immature teenagers

Your first companion in Starfield is Vasco, a faithfully programmed robot. He can even pronounce your name if it’s on his list. Or you can call yourself Captain ‘Boobies’.

On the discussion platform Reddit, a user searched through the data of Starfield and found a list of names that the companion Vasco pronounces when you use that name.

My East German ‘Maik’ version he does not know, but at least ‘Mike’ is possible.

And I am still well off. Because although the list shows hundreds of entries, many common and well-known names are not included: like Greg or Michelle.

Which immature names made it into the game is hard to believe. But there are videos clearly showing that Vasco has an immature side.

You can tell from the list that it was created based on English names. But many popular German names are also included, such as Maria, Lea, Thomas, or Philip.

WoW: Patch 10.2 brings new Legendary – and everyone hopes that it is for their class

The patch 10.2 of World of Warcraft has been teased. It also concerns a new Legendary – and every class hopes it’s for them

The patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath is just live, but at Blizzard there seems to be no pause. Because the next adventure of World of Warcraft is already in planning. The next update is currently being deployed on the PTR and should be available in the next few hours, but Blizzard has already released a small teaser.

On X (formerly Twitter), Blizzard announced that they want to present the patch 10.2 named “Guardians of the Dream” today (09/07/2023) in more detail.

  • A new Legendary

Legendary causes discussion: The last point is already causing a lot of discussion. The last Legendary was exclusive to the Callers and was not announced in advance. Instead, it was “secretly” hidden in the game data and was unlocked through the first mythical kill of Sarkareth.

The fact that the Legendary is being discussed in advance this time is a different approach.

In the forums, players are already actively discussing who the Legendary might be for.

Which class is likely? Even though Blizzard hasn’t commented yet, the most likely class for a Legendary seems to be the Druid. This is mainly because patch 10.2 revolves around the Emerald Dream and its defense – the perfect place for Druids to get a bit of additional story and a powerful artifact.

However, other classes would also be possible. A “Legendary for all,” such as the cloak in Mists of Pandaria or the ring in Warlords of Draenor, would also be conceivable.

Exact details about the new Legendary will be revealed tonight, as Blizzard plans to present the patch with significantly more details and specifics.

The highly critical creator of God of War explains what he thinks of Starfield

David Jaffe is regarded as the creator of God of War. Now, the 52-year-old commented on Starfield and praised the role-playing game despite criticism.

Bethesda’s latest role-playing game Starfield celebrates its release today, but buyers of the Premium Edition were already able to play Starfield 5 days earlier during the early access launch and form an opinion about the sci-fi epic.

Creator of “God of War” David Jaffe has already spent several hours in Starfield and is visibly excited about the game.

Who is it about?

  • David Jaffe is a 52-year-old game designer from the USA, known as the creator of God of War, who launched the game series on the PlayStation 2 in 2005.
  • In addition to God of War, Jaffe also created the racing game series Twisted Metal, which received a TV series in summer 2023.
  • Currently, Jaffe is not involved in game development. He also did not work on the fan-favorite new GoW installments for PS4 and PS5.

Recently, Jaffe has repeatedly made headlines with statements about successful games such as the latest “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)” and received severe criticism for it. He initially criticized the graphics of Zelda: TotK, before he wrote in a Twitter post that he had the game fixed by an AI.

What does Jaffe say about Starfield? In recent days, Jaffe shared some thoughts on Starfield on Twitter. The 52-year-old did criticize the graphics and loading times on Xbox Series X (via Twitter), but emphasized in further posts that he loves the role-playing game after almost 20 hours of gameplay (via Twitter).

In another post on Twitter, Jaffe added that anyone who loves games should try Starfield. It is “casually” one of his “top 3 games of all time”.

A great game is a great game. I say that because if you also love games and don’t have an XBOX, you owe it to yourself to get a Game Pass for a month and try Starfield (even if you only use the cloud). It’s simply one of my top 3 games of all time.

David Jaffe via Twitter

How should Jaffe’s statements be interpreted? Jaffe’s statements are very positive when considering his criticism of Zelda, which has been generally highly praised.

Many players praise Bethesda’s latest role-playing game but criticize certain aspects of the title, such as the reliance on fast travel, loading times, and the sluggish intro.

Starfield appears in many reviews as a game that can be fun, but is not perfect and may suffer from high expectations.
