Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The games for PS Plus Essential in September 2023 for PS5 and PS4 have been officially announced. We briefly introduce the games and show when they will be available.

Which games are available in September 2023? In September 2023, there are again three games that you can get with the PS Plus subscription.

  • Saints Row (2022)
  • Black Desert – Traveler Edition
  • Generation Zero

Already a few days before the official announcement of the PS Plus games for September, there was a leak indicating that the latest “Saints Row” title would be part of the September lineup. This leak turned out to be true (via dealabs).

Massive price increase for PS Plus: Sony significantly increases prices for PS Plus starting in September. When the adjustments come into effect and what you now need to pay for your subscription can be found in our linked article on MeinMMO.

When will the games be available? The “PS Plus” games are always available on the first Tuesday of a month:

Saints Row (2022)

Start video
SAINTS ROW in the gameplay trailer

What kind of game is this? Saints Row is an action game series by Deep Silver, characterized by lots of chaos, crazy gameplay elements, and nonsense, resembling a crazier and more brutal version of Grand Theft Auto (GTA).

The latest installment in the series also knows few limits – especially when it comes to nonsense and flat humor. Additionally, the offbeat title from 2022 brings a large open world and a whole new story that can also be played in coop mode.

However, the latest installment could not convince many fans of the “Saints Row” series. On Steam, Saints Row (2022) has only 60% positive user reviews. The Metacritic score is also rather disappointing. The PS5 version achieved only a 61 rating (via metacritic), while the PC version gets 65 out of 100 (via metacritic).

Black Desert – Traveler Edition

Start video

What kind of game is this? Black Desert is an MMORPG from the Korean developer studio Pearl Abyss. The MMORPG, released in Europe in 2016, offers a variety of different classes and a detailed character editor.

In addition, there is housing, endless possibilities to level up and upgrade your equipment, as well as pronounced PvP. Additionally, you can engage in side activities such as hunting and fishing.

With the Traveler Edition, you also benefit from an increased carrying capacity, an inventory expansion, and receive a mount called “White Mare,” a polar bear that helps you with fishing, and 1,000 pearls.

Black Desert is also among the 15 best MMOs and MMORPGs in 2023.

Generation Zero

Start video
The co-op shooter Generation Zero shows its gameplay in the trailer

What kind of game is this? Generation Zero is a coop shooter that takes place in the otherwise idyllic Sweden of the 1980s. You take on the role of a teenager who discovers that his hometown has been taken over by combat robots.

Alone or in coop with up to three other players, you collect weapons and equipment and fight your mechanical enemies.

As you progress through the game, you investigate the mystery surrounding the missing people and encounter particularly stubborn opponents that can only be defeated with teamwork.

You still have until September 05 to secure the PS Plus games for August 2023, in case you haven’t done that yet:

GTA: Why Rockstar’s Company Logo is Now Hanging in Many Cars in China

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

It looks like a brilliant marketing campaign for GTA 6, it is a curious coincidence: In China, the logo of gaming studio Rockstar Games dangles from cars of a well-known ride-hailing app. The trend is spreading further and further.

What is this phenomenon?

  • As the Spanish site Vidextra reports, a growing trend can be observed in China: In more and more cars, especially in vehicles of the ride-hailing app DiD (“China’s Uber”), the Rockstar logo is dangling beneath the rearview mirror, where otherwise an air freshener would hang, which in our case might be shaped like a green Christmas tree.
  • What might initially be considered a clever advertising campaign by publisher Take-Two is actually a strange coincidence, as explained by a TikTok video.
  • Moreover, the trend continues to spread, having initially only been found in a handful of cities.

Rockstar has an extremely successful game with GTA Online, many are waiting for the successor GTA 6:

Start video
In GTA Online you can finally get to the bottom of the most annoying crew in the game starting next week

Chinese company for air fresheners searched online for a logo

What is the reason for this? As a video on TikTok explains, it is a curious coincidence that has nothing to do with Rockstar Games. When you ask the drivers of the vehicles if they like games, they do not understand the question at all and deny it.

In fact, most drivers are not typical GTA fans, but rather gray-haired middle-aged men.

The TikTok video by Shawn_China_Investor explains the curious story of the Rockstar logo:

@shawn_china_investor the Rockstar Games logo in Chinese ride-hailing cars #chinesebusiness #chineseecommerce #chinesesupplier #businesstok #businesstips ♬ original sound – Shawn_China_investor

The supposed Rockstar logo dangling in their cars is the cheapest air freshener available in China, manufactured in mass and sold for about 20 US cents.

The manufacturers of this mass-produced item simply searched the internet for a suitable shape that they could use for their product and stumbled upon the logo of Rockstar Games. They chose it because it is so clear, has such a large letter and shines beautifully, reports the TikToker.

This seems to be a typical example of “The devil shits on the biggest pile”: Rockstar has a free advertising effect for their logo due to the decision of a company with which they have nothing to do.

You should not rush the main story of Starfield, otherwise you will lose your valuable possessions

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

If you rush through the main story of Starfield, you’ll miss out on a large part of what you’ve worked hard for throughout the gameplay.

On September 6th, the official release of Starfield takes place, but some players have already explored space – either as one of the first testers with early access or through the early access of the premium edition.

Especially the early testers have already gained a significant impression of the game and even completed the main story. Some of them are now giving tips for your gameplay to ensure you have the best possible experience.

One of the most important tips is: Take your time when playing through the main story.

Here you can find all the information about the release of Starfield on September 6th and here’s a trailer:

Start video
Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer

The end of the story also means loss of progress

Why shouldn’t you rush through the main story? As gaming journalist Paul Tassi explains in a post on Forbes, you shouldn’t rush through the main story of Starfield, as ending the main story also means deciding to start a new game (New Game+/ NG+).

With the start of an NG+, you will lose a large part of your progress. While your levels, skill points, and skills remain, your purchased and especially self-built ships, as well as your bases and credits, will be gone.

Additionally, the start of the NG+ resets your progress from side quests. So if you have been engaged in a long faction quest for days, you should finish it before completing the main story.

Furthermore, you will need to reacquire weapons, armors and resources, as well as explore the planets again. Already completed quests will have to be tackled once more.

Are there more reasons to take your time with the main story? Yes, generally you’ll miss out on really good quests if you just rush through the main story while completely ignoring side events. This is especially frustrating if you don’t want to play Bethesda’s sci-fi epic a second or third time.

Furthermore, according to Tassi, it’s not how Bethesda RPGs are meant to be played. He argues that you would have a worse gaming experience if you try to finish the main story as quickly as possible than if you thoroughly explore the universe and search for secrets.

Among the things you can discover in Starfield are various companions:

Diablo 4: A timer for world bosses, hell floods, and legions in overview

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4 offers many events with its world bosses, hell floods, and legions that you can complete in between for great loot. However, these events are announced shortly before they start and are often missed by many players. We now show you timers that will always tell you when exactly an event takes place.

Why do I need timers? The events of Diablo 4 are only announced shortly before they start. But since not every fan can be online 24 hours a day to not miss a moment, there are many reliable timers that count down to the start of each event.

This is very convenient if you want to play something else in the meantime, so you can grab the loot at the right moment. We now show you a source with which you will never miss one of these events again.

Update, September 5: We have updated our article.

Do you want to see what a fight against a world boss looks like? Then we have the right video for that:

Tips for fighting a world boss: World bosses are tough and not meant for heroes who are barely leveled or have poor gear. So if you want to challenge one of these beasts, make sure that:

  • You have a decent build in which you are survivable
  • Improve your healing potions, we show you how
  • Be at least level 20, because from there you have more options to help your teammates
  • Make sure that other players are also participating in the event, because killing a world boss alone is a tough job
  • Reduce your world level to 1 – This increases your chances of survival

Otherwise, pay attention to the movements of the boss. Attacks are usually announced with markings. So dodge and try to attack at the right moment. Just hammering away does nothing and will get you killed.

That was everything you should know about the timers. With this guide, you can also quickly push your heroes to level 100.

3 years after release, the Xbox Series X finally has its system seller – current numbers from Amazon say

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Xbox Series X was released worldwide on November 10, 2020. So far, there hasn’t been a real exclusive title to boost console sales. But with Starfield, the Xbox Series X seems to have finally found its system seller.

Why is Starfield the system seller now? In the past, there haven’t been many titles that made Xbox Series X sales surge. The exclusives that have been released for Microsoft’s console so far include, for example, the following games:

  • Halo Infinite
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator
  • Forza Horizon 5

But with Starfield, that has changed. In the USA, the shipping giant Amazon records a sales rank increase of 1,056 percent. Just in time for the release of Starfield, which will take place tomorrow, demand is rising for the only console platform on which the title is released (via vg247.com).

Apart from Starfield, MeinMMO has also come up with eight other reasons why the Xbox Series X might be preferred over the PS5.

User Peter Ovo writes on X (formerly Twitter) that he has discovered how much sales have increased recently. We have embedded his English tweet here:

https://twitter.com/PeterOvo5/status/1695082516665733260

In the United States of America, the Xbox Series X ranks fifth. In Germany, it ranks seventh, and that only when “Xbox Series X” is selected as a category (via amazon.de).

Some of the sales likely come from players who were able to play the title early thanks to the early access phase. The Xbox Game Pass offered a premium upgrade that allowed fans to start the game earlier. Alternatively, there was the premium edition for 109.99 euros.

The positive test scores have likely contributed to this. Starfield is well received in international reviews. Among other things, the faction quests, colonies, and jetpack battles are praised.

What players can expect in Starfield is seen in the following trailer on MeinMMO:

Start video
Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer

Xbox Series X: Sales Rank Does Not Indicate Sales Figures

What does the sales rank increase mean? The sales rank increase should not be confused with actual sales figures. The 1,056% only means that the console has climbed that much percent in the ranking.

So, the Xbox Series X doesn’t necessarily have to have been sold 1,056% more.

Notably, the trend applies only to the Xbox Series X. There has been no such increase for the Xbox Series S. Since the console does not have a disc drive, Starfield can only be played either in the console’s shop or via the Xbox Game Pass.

But the Game Pass drives Starfield boss Pete Hines crazy: The head of Starfield explains: ‘The Game Pass drives me crazy’

New survival game on Steam aims to combine the best of RimWorld and Mount & Blade – Expected to launch in 2023

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, there are survival games like sand on the beach. However, only a few achieve a major breakthrough and become huge hits. A upcoming survival game wants to draw elements from great representatives of the genre and create its own hit.

Rimworld, Medieval Dynasty, and Mount & Blade are all games that have gained greater popularity on Steam. A upcoming survival game on Steam also wants to become a hit and takes successful elements from the aforementioned games.

Bellwright is set to be an open-world sandbox game that focuses mainly on one’s own settlement. The focus is on building one’s own settlement, liberating the land, and ultimately rebelling against a great enemy that has conquered your homeland.

If you want a Medieval Dynasty with a different setting, you can check out the successor since August:

The best of many worlds

On paper, Bellwright does not have any innovative ideas at first, but it aims to continue and improve the elements that inspired it. In an interview with PCGamesN, Florian Hofreither, the CEO of Donkey Crew, talked about the inspirations and elements for Bellwright.

Thus, the management elements from RimWorld are to be mixed with the relationships of the residents from Medieval Dynasty. The team aims to emphasize the building of buildings. According to Hofreither, the decision to build a building should become more significant, as you may need several in-game days to construct in Bellwright.

This means that for a certain time, residents and the city’s resources need to be planned differently. Therefore, residents should also have multiple jobs and not just one. Fighting and defending one’s own settlement should also become a central element. The fighting is based on elements from Mount & Blade.

In the interview, he also emphasizes that the game should be beginner-friendly, similar to Subnautica back in the day, as he believes survival games were “very chaotic” before the game was released. MeinMMO editor Benedict also sees potential in Bellwright:

Survival game on Steam flops due to PvP, even the boss thinks it’s bad – new project fully focuses on PvE, looks really good

When will Bellwright be released? Donkey Crew has told PCGamesN in the interview that early access is set to start in December 2023. However, it could also fall into early 2024. Both would not be a long wait to see how the various elements in this survival game will fit together.

Pokémon GO includes Community Day in September with Mabula and strong XP bonus

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO, you can expect a Community Day with the bug Pokémon Mabula in September 2023. We at MeinMMO will show you when the event takes place and what content awaits you on that day.

What event is it? In Pokémon GO, a so-called Community Day is held every month, where a selected monster is highlighted and spawns particularly frequently. The Shiny chance for this Pokémon is also increased during the event.

There will also be such an event in September, where you can encounter the bug Pokémon Mabula. This little larva Pokémon will again be accompanied by various bonuses. We have summarized what they are for you below.

When does the Community Day take place? The Community Day with Mabula runs on Saturday, September 23, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM. It is thus the second in the current season Reichlich Abenteuer after the Community Classic with Glumanda.

All bonuses for the Community Day with Mabula

What bonuses are there? During the Community Day with Mabula, you can expect not only numerous spawns but also some bonuses. You can particularly look forward to a lot of XP. Most bonuses are only active during the event period from 2 PM to 5 PM, but there will also be content that you can use for longer.

The following bonuses will be available between 2 PM and 5 PM:

  • 3x XP for catching
  • Double candy for catching
  • Double chance of XL candy for catching (from Trainer Level 31)
  • Lures and incense last 3 hours
  • Surprises from snapshots
  • PokéStop showcases with Mabula and Donarion
  • Event field research on Mabula
  • Event stickers from gifts and PokéStops

You can also use these bonuses beyond the event until 10 PM local time:

  • one additional special trade, so a maximum of 2 on this day
  • halved stardust costs for trading
  • Time-limited research on Mabula
    • Reward: Magnet Lure Module

Exclusive attack: In addition to the numerous bonuses, the event also brings you an exclusive fast attack when you evolve Akkup, the first evolution of Mabula, into Donarion. This way, Darion can secure the electric attack Voltwechsel, which deals the following damage:

  • Trainer battles: 12 damage
  • Raids & Gym battles: 14 damage

Shop content: In the in-game shop as well as partially in the web shop of Pokémon GO, selected event content can also be purchased for a fee:

  • Special research Community Day: Mabula rasa around Mabula for about 1 Euro
  • Event stickers for Mabula
  • Community Day Hyperbox

Is there Shiny Mabula? Yes, Mabula can also be caught for the first time in the game as Shiny. You can recognize it by its red body. Due to an increased shiny rate, your chances of encountering one or the other specimen are particularly good on this day. You can see how the new Shinies look in the following Reddit post by TopAssistance2:

Special Level 4 Raids

What are those raids? As you are already familiar with from other Community Days, there will also be special Level 4 raids after the actual Community Day with Mabula. In these, you can encounter Akkup.

When do the raids take place? The raids take place on September 23 from 5 PM to 10 PM.

What is special about the raids? Unlike most other raids, you can only play these on-site. However, after victory, you will be rewarded with additional Mabula spawns that will appear for 30 minutes around the gym. These spawns also have an increased shiny chance.

Which contents are particularly worthwhile? Particularly interesting on this day is the XP bonus for catching. If you’re on the way to level 50, you shouldn’t miss out on this. And shiny hunters will also get their money’s worth on this day, as Mabula will make its shiny debut.

Furthermore, Mabula has a strong evolution in Donarion, which is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. For this reason, you should secure a strong specimen. The candy bonus also provides you with enough candies to level up your monster.

What do you think of the content for the Community Day with Mabula? Which bonus do you definitely want to use? And which Pokémon do you hope for in the next C-Day? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

In the coming weeks, there will be a lot happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you all events in September 2023 and which are worthwhile.

WoW Classic: Twitch streamer shows the dumbest way to lose a HC character at level 60

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In WoW Classic HC you can easily lose your character. However, playing a second character during a dungeon run takes a lot of courage.

WoW Classic Hardcore has been live for a few weeks now, and numerous players have already found an unexpected end on their way to the maximum level. Alone in the first weekend countless heroes of Azeroth met an ignoble death.

But while such early deaths are still bearable, a later demise is much more bitter. Especially at level 60, where you have invested many days into the character, dying hurts particularly.

It gets even more painful when death results from one’s own mistakes, like in the case of the streamer Graysfordays.

Twitch streamer is on the second account when it happens

What happened? The streamer Graysfordays was apparently not occupied enough with just one character in WoW Classic HC. While he was with a group in the dungeon “Upper Blackrock Spire,” he was also playing a new night elf on a second account on the side.

Suddenly panic sets in. While he plays his night elf, he hears the dreaded sound of hatching dragon whelps and switches to his main account. He sees how the hunter pet has entered the dreaded dragon egg room, which also produced the legendary “Leeroy Jenkins” meme.

Druid panics as the hunter pet draws aggro

Graysfordays transforms into a bear to increase his chances of survival and fight against the whelps. However, the whole group is not in the same room as him and is excluded.

Panic slowly builds as his health points tick down.

While the group tries to support Graysfordays, they fail to cast spells through the closed gate or intervene in the fight in any other way. In panic, he shouts, “DO SOMETHING” – meaning “Do something!” Graysfordays dies – just a few hours before he wanted to participate in the first “Molten Core” hardcore run.

Especially bitter: If Graysfordays had simply remained in stealth, he would probably have survived the incident, as until then only the hunter pet had attracted attention. Only the transformation into a bear revealed Graysfordays and caused the dragon whelps to attack him as well.

“Disrespectful to teammates”

This is how the community reacts: The general mood in the community can best be summed up with “He deserved it.” Most can hardly believe that someone would still play a second character during a dungeon visit. That would not only be negligent and dangerous to one’s own character, but also simply disrespectful to the other 9 players. Some opinions from the corresponding Reddit post:

  • “The best part is that it looks like everything would have been fine if he had just stayed in stealth.”
  • “Tabbing out to level a character below level 10 while running a dungeon? Deserved.”
  • “Looks like both of his characters died. DO SOMETHING!”

A lesson that the streamer apparently learned – because in retrospect, he realized that it was solely his fault.

So it turns out: Buckets make you master thieves in Starfield – But a little different than in Skyrim

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

In The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, buckets are the tools of master thieves, and in the new Bethesda RPG Starfield, items also facilitate your heists.

Lockpicks and sneaking – that’s essentially the mechanics for stealing in Bethesda’s games. This is no different in Starfield, even if “lockpicking” works a bit differently.

Ah yes, the new name for the lockpicks is also a highlight: Digiditich. Sounds like the username of an older gentleman who has just discovered X.com.

But Skyrim provided another tool for master thieves: buckets, deep bowls, or even baskets. As long as the items were big and deep enough for an NPC’s head to fit in, you could commit the worst crimes before the concealed eyes of the witnesses.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work in Starfield. But that doesn’t stop players from trying the nonsense anyway. And indeed: buckets are also the tools of master thieves in Starfield – any other item works too.

Here you can watch an atmospheric trailer for Starfield:

“Bethesda games require Bethesda solutions”

What kind of trick is this? If there’s an item lying around that is well-guarded but too valuable to leave with its current owners, grab a larger item that’s light enough to lift:

  • Keyboard: Y
  • Controller: Hold A

You can rotate, flip, and place the item on heads, cabinets, or planet surfaces. With this mechanic, you can also decorate your ship – the items stay in place. This way, you can store many additional items in the ship.

Now you can use the item in your hand to maneuver the object of desire out of the sight of annoying witnesses:

Baldur’s Gate 3: You have probably missed one of the most important scenes of the “dark urge”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

As Dark Urge, you can quickly miss something in Baldur’s Gate 3. One of the most important scenes belongs to that – because it can be easily skipped.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is quite a large game. No matter how thoroughly you explore the world, it is simply impossible to experience everything on your first run. This is not only due to the decisions made but also often because of many hidden “triggers” that can trigger a cutscene or deny it forever.

A particularly important scene, if you’re playing the “Dark Urge,” most of you might have skipped – and did so without noticing.

Spoiler Warning: This article is about the entry of the “Dark Urge” in Baldur’s Gate 3.

What is the “Dark Urge”? The “Dark Urge” is one of the origin stories you can play in Baldur’s Gate 3. It is special because you can customize your character individually, but still experience a very specific story. Your character has amnesia and has forgotten much about their past. However, their thoughts often drift towards dark deeds that end in bloody atrocities and murders.

The exploration of the reasons behind this dark urge and understanding who or what you actually are or were is the essence of this story, which spans all three acts.

What kind of scene is that? During the first rest in the camp, your character takes some time to reflect on their own past. The interesting part: there are individual selection options depending on the chosen race and class. Those who think (rightly) that “Dark Urge” and “lawful paladin” do not match will be taught otherwise here.

The scene is not particularly long, but it puts you in the right mood to understand what your character is actually going through and what they have experienced in the past.

What prevents the scene? Your progress. Once you have done “too much” in Baldur’s Gate 3, the aforementioned scene will no longer take place. Because then it is overwritten by other events during the night.

One of these “triggers” is collecting Lae’zel. Once you have freed her from her predicament and she joins the group, it is already too late. Other companions, like Gale, Shadowheart, and Astarion, do not seem to cause this problem.

The problem here is that right after the crash, there is hardly any reason to take a long rest early on. After all, you are rested and can set off full of energy to experience adventures. Thus, many “Dark Urge” players unintentionally skip this scene.

So those who want to experience this scene should take a long rest as soon as possible after the crash to ponder their past as Dark Urge.

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Felino and XP bonus

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on September 5th, the Spotlight Hour with Felino starts in Pokémon GO. We show you everything about the bonuses, the shiny, and the times of the event.

What kind of event is this? During a Spotlight Hour, a Pokémon with a bonus is the focus for 60 minutes, which applies to all trainers. Everyone can participate. At the beginning of each month, the developers determine which Pokémon along with which bonus (more XP, Stardust, or candies) will be active at the upcoming dates.

Today, the Spotlight Hour revolves around the Pokémon Felino, which comes from the second generation of the game.

Spotlight Hour on September 5th – Start, Bonuses, Shiny

When does the event begin? As always, the Spotlight Hour runs from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.

What bonuses are available? During the event, you will receive double the amount of experience points for evolving Pokémon.

In addition, you will find significantly more Felino in the wild during this time. If you want to collect even more of them, you can use incense to increase the spawns.

Today marks the first Spotlight Hour in September 2023. An overview of what to expect in the coming weeks can be found here:

Is there a shiny form of Felino? Yes, you can catch the shiny form of Felino in Pokémon GO. However, keep in mind that the chances of finding one are not increased during the Spotlight Hours. So, you need a lot of luck if you want to find a shiny Felino.

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? If you enjoy PvP, today’s event might be worth it for you. Morlord, the evolution of Felino, can rank among the top mid-tier attackers in the Super League. However, this is the only strong use case.

Aside from that, you can use the event if you are still on the way to level 50. With the bonus, you earn additional XP.

At the same time, today also marks the start of the “Paldea Adventure” event, which brings you many exciting bonuses and new Pokémon into the game. Even if the Spotlight Hour today doesn’t appeal to you, you should take a look at the event.

Starfield: The 3 Best Backgrounds for Your Start

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

In the SciFi RPG Starfield, you decide who you want to be. A first step in this is choosing your background, which provides you with a backstory and skills. What is worth taking at the beginning, you can find out here on MeinMMO.

What does the background provide? The selection determines what life you led before the space adventure. This directly influences the gameplay at the start and the dialogue options available to you:

  • 3 skills from the background
  • Special dialogue options

The initial skills significantly shape the first hours of the game, but become less important over time as you can activate the skills yourself later.

In the medium term, the backstory is more important, as you’ll gain new dialogue options with like-minded NPCs. Think about who you want to be and where you want advantages. If you prefer to be a pirate, you shouldn’t choose the background “Pilgrim.” You might miss out on cool conversations with criminal colleagues.

Our list focuses more on the skills that provide you with the greatest value at the start. If you are leaning towards “role-playing” and want others to react to your character accordingly, then choose a background that fits your story.

Start video
The Shipbuilding of Starfield – Segment from the Deep Dive

Starfield: Background for Start – Diplomat

What skills does “Diplomat” bring?

  • Persuasion
  • Trade
  • Well-being

What does it provide? A typical starter mix for Bethesda games: “Persuasion” opens many doors early on that require weapon-assisted persuasion for other players. “Trade” ensures that the few credits in your pocket are worth a bit more.

“Well-being” gives you higher health and is thus a generally strong skill that helps you in every fight.

What alternative suits? Industrial – Also comes with “Persuasion,” but gives you “Security” instead of “Trade,” which is the thief skill for lockpicking. Additionally, with “Research Methods” you get a small bonus on research.

Starfield: Background for Start – Soldier

What skills does “Soldier” bring?

  • Fitness
  • Ballistics
  • Boostpack Training

What does it provide? As a soldier, your weapon is at the ready, and you are specialized in ground combat. “Fitness” improves the efficiency of your oxygen supply, and “Ballistics” increases the damage of ballistic weapons. You can engage in longer battles, and with the increased damage, battles take less time. This provides security.

The whole thing is rounded off with “Boostpack Training,” which allows you to use the boostpack right from the start and significantly increases your mobility.

What alternative suits? Bounty Hunter – If you see yourself more in space combat, then opt for the Bounty Hunter. Especially if you are keen on the extensive shipbuilding options.

Starfield: Background for Start – FILE ERROR

What skills does “FILE ERROR” bring?

  • Well-being
  • Ballistics
  • Flying

What does it provide? Do you want to avoid committing to a background and prefer to create your own story? Choose FILE ERROR. There is no information about your life, and you receive a balanced mix of skills focused on combat.

But keep in mind: You will miss out on the additional conversation options that a defined background offers. Bethesda-typical would be if you find a specific quest during Starfield that investigates the mysterious origins of “FILE ERROR.”

What alternative suits? Rogue – you are a bit of a trickster, but do not let yourself be categorized as “good” or “bad.” Here too, you get a balanced skill mix, but with “Persuasion” in the portfolio. Additionally, you get “Pistol Certification” and “Flying.”

Starfield: How to secure a brutally strong weapon right at the start

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

Shooting is not uncommon in the new sci-fi RPG Starfield. If you want to get a nasty piece right at the beginning, then get the “Elegance”.

What kind of weapon is this? The Elegance is a rare pistol that you can buy early in the game.

The US site PC Gamer discovered it in a shop in Akila City and swears by the strength and handling of the pistol (via pcgamer.com). For the start, there is hardly a better alternative among rare weapons with only one perk – but this perk is significant for the Elegance.

What the pistol can do and where to get it, you will find out here.

Start video
Gamescom ONL 2023 Trailer Starfield

What can the Elegance do? It is a pistol focused on medium combat distance. The Elegance offers little recoil, combined with a decent rate of fire. However, the small magazine holds the pistol back a bit.

The perk really hits hard:

  • Shattering: Breaks even the strongest armor

If you are somewhat good shooters, the Elegance should easily carry you through all the battles of your first space adventures. If you increase damage through skills like “Pistol Certification”, you should have no problems for now.

PC Gamer recommends a silencer – it gives extra damage to enemies who have not spotted you yet.

More on the topic
Starfield: The 3 Best Backgrounds for Your Start
von Maik Schneider

Where do you get the Elegance? At the shop “Rowland Arms” in Akila City in the Cheyenne star system:

  • After the tutorial and your first visit to New Atlantis, open your star map
  • If you have Alpha Centauri in the middle, move the cursor up to the right and look for the system “Cheyenne”
  • In the system screen, you will find the planet “Akila”
  • Select “Akila City” as the landing point on the planet
  • Walk into the city and stay on the main street – you will find the shop “Rowland Arms” on the left side
  • Here the Elegance can be bought for around 18,000 credits

If you have already collected enough cash, you will get a very strong weapon right at the start. PC Gamer even calls the pistol “overpowered”.

Destiny 2 weakens popular Super, so that a class can finally play something different

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 3 minutes

In the world of Destiny 2, changes through adjustments are inevitable. But this time, they are not just ordinary balancing changes. Bungie plans to overhaul one of the most popular support supers so that Warlocks are finally free.

What has Bungie announced? The online shooter has received numerous updates and expansions since its release to keep the gaming experience fresh and interesting. Now, Joe Blackburn, the Game Director of Destiny 2, has revealed his plans for the next update in a recent interview with PCGamer.

A primary focus for Bungie right now seems to be a skill that many players consider to be the strongest healing option in the game: the “Well of Radiance” from the Solar Warlock.

  • This ability has proven to be extremely useful for keeping teams alive in dangerous PvE fights.
  • However, the Well has long led to discussions about game balance, particularly concerning the Warlock class.
  • Many players see hardly any other option in the endgame than to rely on the Well as a healing and buffing option, partly because there are currently few other strong options.

The planned changes could finally free Warlocks from their “super handcuffs” in the endgame and allow them to try out other abilities and explore different playstyles.

“The Final Shape” will be the last DLC of a major saga in Destiny 2:

Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape – The last DLC of the first saga

How strong will the nerf be? Currently, the Warlock super “Well of Radiance” still dominates significantly in combination with some Destiny 2 exotics like “Divinity”, although this one has also just been nerfed recently.

More on the topic
Destiny 2 confirms the most unpopular nerf proposal – Also has 26 more exotics on the list from season 19
von Britta ♤ BeAngel

The combination is still considered the best endgame support and thus remains a solid part of the DPS meta in Bungie’s loot shooter. However, this also makes it rather boring over time.

Blackburn emphasized that the rework is not meant to weaken the Warlock class overall. Instead, it should open up new possibilities for players.

We had to do this before, like with “Divinity” and automatic reloading. At some point, you think: ‘Hey, this super ability offers utility that many people like, but it also handcuffs many of our players. So, what version of this can we say: Okay, the time when everyone feels they have to do this is over.’ We know we need to make some changes before the raid of “The Final Shape.”

explained Joe Blackburn

Previously, experienced elite players like Datto and this year’s Worlds-First winner Saltagreppo had voiced their opinions on the impact of the Well and called for changes.

saltagreppo-destiny2-worldsfirst-2023-crotasende-titel
The 4-time Worlds-First winner Saltagreppo has long called for an adjustment to the Well

His reasoning: The Well restricts the build crafting and creativity of the players in endgame too much.

The changes I propose would actually improve the gaming experience for those who play less, as I always ask for a balanced game with more difficulty options to meet everyone’s needs. If anything, you should be pleased. In my ideal game, you can play with any setup for 3 hours a week and get by well.

explained Saltagreppo on Twitter

Thus, Saltagreppo wishes to reduce the dominance of a single ability, in this case that of the Well, to promote more diversity.

How this new diversity could look in the future is shown in the current Season 22, in which Titans support their teammates with a powerful new strand aspect, the “War Banner”.

  • The strand aspect “War Banner” emits energy that regularly heals nearby allies and increases melee and sword damage, which is extremely effective.

Other Destiny streamers like Gladd, however, fear that this may overly impact the experience of casual players if they lack this strong option in a raid.

von Dariusz Müller

When is the Warlock’s solar super supposed to be nerfed? According to current plans, Bungie seems to be aiming for the Well nerf with the upcoming expansion “The Final Shape.”

The Destiny 2 community is now eagerly waiting to see how Bungie will implement these announced changes in practice and how it will affect gameplay and strategies.

Do you agree with the views presented, or do you believe that the Well, as the strongest healing option in the game, should remain unchanged? Leave us your opinion and what you think in the comments.

Currently, players in Destiny 2 are defeating Crota, who returned to the game at the beginning of September:

Twitch: xQc (27) says his relationship failed when he was feeling bad and wrote a will

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer xQc has become a multimillionaire after years on Twitch and a lucrative deal with the competing platform Kick. However, a legal dispute with his ex-girlfriend Adept could cost him a part of his fortune. He now explains when he had doubts about the relationship. He felt reduced to his wealth and possessions in a moment of weakness.

This is the situation:

  • The former Overwatch professional xQc has been the most successful streamer on Twitch in recent years, because he appealed to a young audience and streamed obsessively, disregarding his own health. xQc switched to the competitor Kick in June 2023 for an alleged $100 million, but remains active on Twitch.
  • For several months, he has been involved in a legal dispute with his former girlfriend and partner Adept. She claims to be married to him under a special arrangement that applies in Texas. He denies this.
  • A legal dispute involves a lot of money. The separation is taking place publicly and the situation is becoming increasingly tense.

What xQc says now: xQc has engaged in a kind of therapeutic online session with Dr. K on Twitch: Alok Kanojika (40) is a psychiatrist and hosts live sessions for streamers on the HealthyGamer_GG channel, where they reflect on their lives.

In the conversation, xQc says that he had a phase some time ago when he was very unwell. He does not want to elaborate on that:

  • During that time, he wrote his will together with his mother.
  • xQc told the person he was with at the time (apparently Adept) that he wanted people to “get stuff” when he checks out, i.e., dies.
  • The person was not included in the will.

According to xQc, that was a key moment from which he began to understand things.  He was very shocked afterward, calling it a very hard statement. From that moment, “things fell apart”.

xQc suggests that he felt he would be reduced to his possessions even at the moment of his death.

Dr. K confirms xQc’s assumption. According to him, in a situation where such a young man fears for his life, it would be more expected for the partner to ask what he has, how she could help him, and not to ask where she stands.

xQc says that after this incident, he noticed that behavior pattern more frequently.

How is this being discussed? This story also fuels a certain narrative that has developed in the Twitch community around xQc.

Adept is increasingly being demonized and portrayed as a “gold digger” who is only after xQc’s fortune. Since the incident with the sports car, this has become a popular narrative that is further fueled by xQc, who repeatedly suggests: Adept is only interested in money.

Fans strongly identify with xQc, whom they watch for hours daily.

But it doesn’t seem so “crazy greedy” when the partner asks why she is not considered in the will. The question seems quite understandable.

In 2021, Adept once shared how hard life was beside such a successful Twitch streamer:

Brit criticizes Bethesda for a tiny detail in Starfield: Going viral

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A rage speech by a YouTube streamer is going viral on Twitter against Bethesda. He is upset that in Starfield , players can choose the preferred pronouns of their character during character creation. He says it ruins the whole immersion, claiming that with this ideology, Bethesda is ruining his fun. The speech lasts 2:37 minutes and is going viral.

Who is this?

  • He is a British YouTuber who is active on the channel “Heel vs Babyface” on YouTube and Twitter. Both are terms from wrestling: a Heel is a “bad wrestler”, and “Face” is a fan favorite.
  • The Brit mainly streams on YouTube, where he has 339,000 subscribers. He has already completed 5 live streams on Starfield.
  • One of his rage speeches recently went viral on Twitter, also because some well-known Twitch streamers like HasanAbi commented critically on it.

Brit reacts due to pronouns in Starfield

What is the man upset about? A detail makes the streamer explode: In Starfield, players can determine their character’s “pronouns.”

In previous games, players decided the gender of their character through appearance and body shape. In Starfield, players can play with a male-coded body shape but assign female pronouns to that character.

Specifically naming preferred pronouns and thus how one wishes to be addressed is considered “politically woke” in some circles – DrDisrespect has also voiced his annoyance about it.

Streamer claims Bethesda ruins escapism for him with their agenda

What the streamer says: He says he loves nothing more than to sit in a comfortable chair in front of his PC and start a new role-playing game. He falls completely into this foreign world, dreaming of visiting planets, thoroughly immersed in the game.

But Bethesda has ruined his experience by bringing contemporary issues into this fantasy world.

In a raging speech, he almost yells into the camera for 2 minutes, expressing his anger that Bethesda, with their “ideology,” ruins all immersion and ultimately the game for him.

F*** pronouns, f*** gender ambiguity, f*** Californian crap.

Bethesda allows no escapism but has to “shovel” their agenda down everyone’s throat.

Here is the clip that has now gone viral:

Clip receives much criticism, but also agreement

How is this being discussed? The clip of the streamer has gone viral across various sources on Twitter and is currently one of the biggest topics of conversation there.

Critics like HasanAbi can only shake their heads at it. The Twitch streamer suggests that the man should be surgically tranquilized through a brain operation. He should rather be upset that the menus and maps are not optimized (via twitter).

Others lament that precisely such appearances get so much attention while calmer, deeper discussions fall on deaf ears (via twitter).

The German influencer, Maurice Weber, speaks of “eternally backward” people who find games like Starfield too woke, even though the success of the games proves otherwise (via twitter).

However, there are also some who agree with the Brit and find it disturbing to be confronted with things like “pronouns” in a sci-fi universe.

The topic of “pronouns” is currently becoming a political issue in the English-speaking world:

Fortnite: Austrian became world champion and millionaire at 17 – Ends career at 21

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The 21-year-old Austrian David “aqua” Wang was already at the peak of success at 17: He won $1.5 million at the World Championship in Fortnite when he became World Champion in Duo. In recent years, he added several hundred thousand euros. Now, at 21, he casually announces that he is done with eSports in Fortnite.

That was the big moment for David Wang:

Benijfishy had so much success with Fortnite that his mother took him out of school early:

After the World Championship, there were more victories, then the prize money dried up

What happened next? After 2019, Fortnite never held such a big “live event” as the World Championship again. As a result, during the Corona pandemic, Epic continued to downscale eSports, focusing on online tournaments in individual regions and for the various platforms instead of a grand spectacle in New York.

However, even in these online tournaments, Wang was at the forefront:

  • In 2019, he won $160,000 at the FNCS: Season X Finale
  • In 2022, he secured another $150,000 in the FNCS: Chapter 3 Season 2 Finale

Earnings dropped from $1.8 million to $940 a year

But in 2023, he has only earned $941 in prize money so far. That’s nothing compared to the $1.8 million he earned alone in 2019.

Since May 2022, aqua has only achieved smaller successes in tournaments, placing somewhere around 26th and taking home $300 (via esportearnings).

Aqua also made negative headlines in his career: He was once banned from a tournament.

This is how he now announces his career’s end: With a brief Twitter post on September 3, it was over: He says he is quitting Fortnite, without any further information.

Many Fortnite pros switch to Valorant

This is what’s behind it: Like Aqua, many once “big names” have withdrawn from Fortnite in recent years. Several factors surely play a role:

  • With Fortnite, there is simply not as much to earn anymore as during its peak in 2019. Players like Benjifishy have pointed this out early on
  • Furthermore, Fortnite is extremely dynamic; the conditions are constantly changing. It is hard to “stay at the top,” especially since many young talents are pushing in
  • Ultimately, Fortnite was never an acknowledged eSports title like CS:GO, LoL, or Valorant. It was never designed as an eSports title with its “every man for himself” format. Even regarding the competitive integrity of the World Championship, there were some doubts afterwards: It is rumored that the winners had reached agreements on running paths with a shared coach to increase their chances of winning.
  • Many are drawn to “real” eSports titles like Valorant

As early as 2020, one of the big winners of the Fortnite World Championship had already switched from Fortnite to the new cool competition:
