New MMORPG Shows Brutally Good Gameplay Trailer and Excites Fans – „No MMO Has Ever Looked This Epic“

Jakob Gerden 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

With the release of a gameplay trailer for the upcoming MMORPG Chrono Odyssey, the developer NPIXEL is currently delighting its fans. Since the announcement of the cross-platform MMORPG in 2020, there has been a long silence about the game. Now, many voices regarding the gameplay material are very positive and make gamers’ hearts race. We summarize the reactions for you.

What kind of game is this? Chrono Odyssey aims to be a next-gen MMORPG for PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox. It brings the necessary conditions with the Unreal Engine 5. At its core, you follow the story of Idraiginn, a member of a special unit dedicated to fighting the 12 gods.

Check out the gameplay trailer here:

Chrono Odyssey – Gameplay Trailer

Autoplay

How is the gameplay trailer received? According to the colleagues at mmorpg.org.pl (via mmorpg.org.pl), the game leaves a great impression just like the competing PC MMORPG Bellatores. The author writes: “No MMO has ever looked this epic.”

Not only the graphics but also the shown gameplay mechanics in combat are praised. Comments from other users under the Polish post confirm this view and read as follows:

User dreedzik writes: “Black Desert 2 on the Unreal Engine 5.”.
User Metal69 says: “It actually looks very good, let’s see what comes of it.”.

The gameplay trailer for Chrono Odyssey also pleased user SaikoDC on MeinMMO.

User SaikoDC says: “I really liked the Chrono Odyssey trailer. With Unreal 5, very nice graphics, and I really liked the style of the landscapes and the buildings. […]”.

The colleagues from 3Djuegos go even further (via 3djuegospc.com):

Alberto LLoria admits: “The most epic presentation of an MMO I have seen in years was released [..] hours ago.”.

Is there negative criticism as well? Some users express concerns about the developer, as they had previously focused on mobile games. Some criticize the action-heavy combat system. Others feel that the graphic style goes too far. In particular, some effects seem to divide opinions.

User Gumiaczek (mmorpg.org.pl) writes: “Why do these new games have to shine so brightly? An armor or even ordinary dirt looks like it has been coated with some kind of oil. Soon you will have to play these games with sunglasses.”

Furthermore, the fanbase expresses concerns regarding the technical aspects amidst the offered graphical spectacle. One user raises a suspicion about the design of the game:

User dzienciou (mmorpg.org.pl) warns: “100% pseudo-MMO with hubs restricted to a few people.”.

In the end, it will only be apparent with the release where Chrono Odyssey will actually be classified.

It is also a matter of personal preferences. Regarding the combat system, some users prefer the classic tab-targeting system with hotkey bars, while others love action gameplay like Black Desert Online.

It is similar with the offered graphics. Whether Chrono Odyssey applies too much polish to armors, discarding the rest within the landscape, or whether that is exactly what pleases one’s personal taste visually, everyone must decide for themselves in the end.

Pokémon GO: How Niantic is now reacting to allegedly poor revenues

Max Handwerk 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

According to a report, Pokémon GO has seen declining revenues in April. Now, developer Niantic has responded to the figures.

These were the numbers: A report from the portal “mobilegamer.biz” indicated that Pokémon GO had to face losses in revenue in April 2023 – so significant that the game allegedly had its weakest month since February 2018.

Now, a spokesman for developer Niantic has commented on the matter to the portal Eurogamer. “We generally do not comment on third-party estimates of our revenues, as they are often inaccurate, which is the case here,” the statement said.

Niantic speaks of higher revenue than 2022

This is what Niantic says: In fact, revenue in the current year 2023 during the same period is even higher than last year, according to Niantic. However, the claim that April was a weaker month is not explicitly denied.

Regarding Eurogamer, Niantic stated that they do not focus on monthly trends, “as these fluctuate due to large live events.”

The original report caused a stir as it came after a difficult month for Pokémon GO, during which changes to remote raids caused significant unrest in the community. Some players subsequently announced that they no longer wished to invest money or even set the game aside completely.

Niantic also briefly refers to the changes: “The changes this year have already led to an increase in in-person raids, and we look forward to introducing exciting new features in the coming months,” the statement said.

How does the community react? In the subreddits for Pokémon GO, Niantic’s statement is already being discussed. Some are surprised at how quickly Niantic responded, as when players openly voiced their concerns about the changes to remote raid passes, there was no response from Niantic.

This leaves some players dissatisfied, who had hoped for more answers from the developer to their concerns, but received none, while a quick reaction was made here (via reddit).

“I am sure that it can be financially manipulated to appear in a certain light, regardless of whether it is negative or positive,” says a user (via reddit): “What is more interesting is that they felt the need to respond to it.”
“So they heard about this,” comments another (via reddit).

Other players simply express their frustration in the comments about the changes and the lack of feedback. Many users still wish for a reversal of the changes or an adjustment, but as of now, there are no signs that anything of the sort is forthcoming.

The discussion surrounding the remote raid changes has been ongoing for over a month now. You can find out more about the troubles regarding remote raid passes in Pokémon GO here.

Pokémon GO: Why you should definitely not pick up 4 field research tasks right now

Max Handwerk 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Some research in Pokémon GO will bring you encounters with various Pokémon. However, you should pick up some of these later.

Which research is it about? May has begun in Pokémon GO, which has also shaken up the field research a bit in Pokémon GO.

In some of the field research, you can earn rewards with certain Pokémon. Important: You do not need to complete these encounters immediately; you can also escape from the catch screen.

If you do this, the Pokémon encounter will be saved, and you can pick it up later. Furthermore, you can save multiple encounters to collect them all at once.

And this is exactly what a trainer is currently recommending in the Pokémon GO subreddit. Because: If you save the right Pokémon, you can earn a lot of stardust.

Save for the bonus stardust on Community Day in May

Extra stardust with the right timing: Pokémon GO has revealed the Community Day in May 2023. It not only brings the Pokémon Fynx but also a popular bonus: triple stardust for every catch you make during the event.

The Community Day takes place on May 21, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. And this is exactly when you should redeem encounters from certain field research.

Which field research should I redeem? The user “g47onik” in the Pokémon GO subreddit points out that some Pokémon yield increased stardust when caught. Some of them can be found in field research.

These are two research tasks in the current event “An Intuitive Hero”:

“Hatch 2 eggs” – provides an encounter with Palimpalim, which gives 1,000 stardust.
- This task can also yield an encounter with Chaneira.
“Hatch 3 eggs” – provides an encounter with Magneton, which gives 300 stardust.

In addition, there are two more research tasks available throughout May:

“Walk 3 km” – provides an encounter with Zobiris, which yields 750 stardust upon catching
“Battle in the GO Battle League” – provides an encounter with Maschock, which gives 300 stardust upon catching

The tip: If you complete these research tasks, save the encounter until C-Day and catch the Pokémon during the event to get triple the amount of the increased stardust. You could also activate a star piece to gain additional stardust.

The user also refers to another research task, “Redeem 3 Crypto-Pokémon,” which brings Nidorina or Nidorino, which also gives 300 stardust upon catching. However, you must spend stardust to perform the redemption. Therefore, the other tasks are more worthwhile.

von Paul Kutzner

In general, it is always a good idea to collect stardust. After all, you need this resource to give Pokémon power-ups or to learn new moves. Therefore, you should accumulate as large a supply as possible – and bonuses like these are perfect for that.

Currently, the new Pokémon Ignivor can also be obtained at the Spark event, which you can evolve into Ramoth. However, the chances of getting the new Pokémon are not high.

Head of a tough PvP game on Steam reveals: 40% of players have never killed anyone

Ramona Kiuntke 5. May 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Hunt: Showdown is difficult and almost half of the players do not manage to get into the competitive PvP part of the shooter. While the developers see the strong veterans and Free Weekends on Steam as reasons, players blame the poor server performance and cheaters.

Is Hunt: Showdown not suitable for beginners?

Just over half of the players achieve the “Debut” success in Hunt: Showdown, for which they have to kill their first enemy hunter. 40% of the players lack this success.
Consequently, these players have never really experienced the PvP part because they leave the game beforehand or have never played further.
If few new players remain, it also poses a problem for the current player base, because customer retention is also a topic in hardcore shooters.
However, players see other problems and criticize the lack of server stability and too many cheaters.

Hunt: Showdown is known for its hardcore demands, but also for strong events:

Start video

Hunt: Showdown – “The Inferno”

What is Hunt actually about? Hunt: Showdown is among the hardest competitive PVP games on Steam. You start as a hunter in the world of a twisted Wild West, defeating monsters and escaping with the bounty as quickly as possible from the map.

In the process, you encounter other players who also want the bounty and will walk over your dead body. Nevertheless, almost half do not make the jump into PvP. Recently, Hunt: Showdown announced an important engine update.

But why? As in most PvP games, knowledge of the environment, weapons, and situations is important. With time and practice, players learn what the best hiding spots and tactics are, giving them an advantage over new players who still have to learn a lot. With a veteran as an opponent, the newcomers have almost no chance. Small successes and improvements are also missing, even though there is PvE content.

von Ody

The new update of Hunt: Showdown causes so many problems that the developers have to pull the emergency brake

von Ody

Is that a problem? Newcomers and experienced players sometimes meet, and in most cases, the beginners will not survive this encounter. If this happens often, new players quickly lose interest in Hunt: Showdown because it is frustrating to die constantly and lose their own progress.

Unlike in CS:GO or other shooter representatives, where the entry is significantly easier and achievements can be achieved faster and better, some players in Hunt: Showdown come up empty. Players who test Hunt during one of the free weekends are therefore less likely to purchase the title and leave the shooter before they really start.

What are the consequences? The player counts for Hunt: Showdown are not growing or are reduced in the worst case, as frustrated players who wanted to try the PvP shooter may never return. For a competitive game, this is a problem, because if there is no one to compete with the veterans, they also lose the fun.

I played over 700 hours of Hunt: Showdown in 2021 and that’s why you should too

von Mark Sellner

What does the developer say? David Fifield, General Manager of Hunt: Showdown, reveals that it is difficult to find the right balance. There is already a very extensive PvE part where newcomers can celebrate their first successes. In the “Trial” and “Training” modes, the only nasty opponents are the PvE mobs and bosses.

If 40% of the players can never really experience the most important and exciting part of Hunt: Showdown, it is a serious issue for Fifield and his team that they have to address. Even though there are players who continue to have fun and play Hunt: Showdown despite poor K/D statistics.

Players see other problems

The Steam reviews for the shooter are mostly positive, but some players note other problems and lose interest in Hunt: Showdown (via Steam). However, it is not the well-playing veterans who take away their fun, but much more the cheaters and the faulty technology.

Players report nightmare rounds in which they can hardly deal damage, hits do not count, or mobs that they have not shot suddenly attack them instead of the shooter. At the same time, opponents deal full damage or shoot through dense vegetation at hundreds of meters – and hit while doing so!

A major problem for players is that there is only quick play for solo players. Solo players often face 2 or 3 player teams in the normal mode, making it even more difficult for beginners. The server stability is often criticized by players as well.

The developers of CoD Warzone 2 have already addressed the cheaters for their shooter and ban them even in spectacular moments.

Xbox boss explains new reality in console war with PS5 – “We lost the worst generation that one could lose”

Maik Schneider 5. May 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Phil Spencer is the head of Microsoft’s Xbox division and gave a refreshingly candid interview with the YouTube channel “Kinda Funny Games”. In it, Spencer explains why Xbox currently has little chance against the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo’s Switch and how they plan to change that.

The more than 40-minute YouTube video mainly revolves around the blocked deal with Activision Blizzard and the poor release of the new co-op shooter Redfall.

In the end, the host wants to do a “quick questions” round. Spencer is addressed about some members of the Xbox community feeling that the console division is being neglected – with PC and cloud being more in focus.

Spencer then launches into a sort of fundamental monologue and explains: It is no longer enough to release good games for a console. Those days are over. However, they have their own vision of an ecosystem and do not want to continue trying to outshine their competitors.

The new shooter Redfall was supposed to be one of the major Xbox hits of 2023, but it was not well received. Here you can find the trailer:

Start video

Redfall – Official Launch Trailer

Autoplay

Spencer: Digital libraries are the key

What does the new reality look like in the console market? Phil Spencer explains that there were once clear distinctions between console generations. Back then, in the days of physical storage media like CDs or cartridges.

Nowadays, that is different. One should only look at games like Roblox, Minecraft, or Fortnite. Such games run over years and generations – Minecraft could already be played on the PlayStation 3, even though a version for the PS5 is apparently on the way.

Many games are now available as digital downloads, and old versions can also be used on the new devices. They have “lost the worst generation that one could lose” – namely with the Xbox One.

During this time, many players have built their digital libraries. If one switches consoles in the new generation, these investments are lost: “90% of people go into a store to buy a console and are already part of one of the three ecosystems [Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo] and have their digital libraries there”.

According to Spencer, new games would change little about that: “There is no world in which Starfield gets an 11 out of 10 and people start selling their PlayStation 5 – that won’t happen”.

Spencer says that nowadays one needs their own vision, an individual strategy to continue being successful with Xbox in the future.

Xbox is not a better PlayStation, but something of its own

How does Xbox plan to continue to keep up? They do not want to be overshadowed by PlayStation’s strategy: “I know there are people who want us to become a better, greener version of what the blue people are doing. I can tell you: That would not be a ‘win’ for Xbox.”

Rather, they are focusing on inclusive solutions, wanting to give players the choice of which device to play on at any moment and continuing to focus on the strategy with the Xbox Game Pass.

Spencer says: “We need to go out and do our own thing – with the Game Pass, the stuff we are doing with XCloud, and the way we build our games.”

Destiny 2 will in future require 20% more money for new seasons – Fan groans: “This game is already damn expensive”

Britta ♤ BeAngel 5. May 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

In yesterday’s “This Week at Bungie” blog, Destiny 2 announced a price increase for the season pass, which immediately caused discontent among fans. The increase of 20% is criticized as “an additional charge for practically nothing” and it is said that Bungie does “not deserve a single cent more” after a season filled with bugs.

Destiny 2 has been under criticism since Lightfall: The current DLC Lightfall and the ongoing Season 20 in Destiny 2 not only had a bad start but also faced several persistent bugs afterwards. All of this led to many criticisms from the community.

The quality of the game is declining and the content hardly offers any diversity or variety.
The developer is only quickly fixing those bugs that provide an advantage to players. Bugs that disadvantage players, such as invisibility in PvP or the annoying sound bug, are not prioritized enough.

Now, the criticisms have reached a new level, as Bungie announced in its yesterday’s blog post that the price for the Destiny 2 season pass will be increased by 20%.

The decision for this price increase has been disproportionately criticized by many fans as they do not believe that the new Season 21 will offer enough new content to justify such an increase.

Start video

Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer to the Guardian Games 2023

Autoplay

This is how much the season pass will cost: Starting with Season 21, the “Season of Depth,” the season pass will be 20% more expensive. At the same time, these changes align with broader price increases for video games across the industry.

Instead of 1,000 Silver as before, the 3-month pass will cost 1,200 Silver starting with Season 21.
Anyone purchasing the season pass in the +10 rank bundle will pay 2,200 Silver instead of 2,000.

This means that the new Season 21 will now cost €11.99 instead of the previous €9.99, or in the bundle, instead of €19.99, now €21.99.

This price change only affects players who purchase the season pass separately every 3 months.

For every player who purchased the Lightfall Standard Edition (which had access to the current live season at the time of purchase) or the Lightfall + Season Pass Edition for Season 20 to 23, nothing changes.

It is also worth mentioning that there is currently no way to acquire these amounts of Silver. In the Silver shop on Steam, only bundles of 500 Silver for €4.99, 1,100 Silver for €9.99, 2,300 Silver for €19.99, 3,500 Silver for €29.99, and 6,000 Silver for €49.99 can be purchased.

There is currently no suitable Silver offer for the new Season 21 unless Bungie changes something here.

This is why the pass is getting more expensive: Bungie justified the decision to raise prices by stating that they want to continue investing in the development of engaging seasonal experiences for the DLC year of Lightfall. Additionally, they will be “evaluating new approaches for post-launch content in the year of the DLC ‘The Final Shape.'”

“Damn, doesn’t Destiny 2 already have enough money?”

Despite the prospect of more seasonal experiences, many fans are disappointed that the season pass, which was already considered expensive, is now getting even more costly. Their frustration and disappointment about this adjustment have been expressed accordingly on Reddit.

One player, SenpaiSwanky, finds the following words regarding the price increase:

No word about the […] audio quality, the quality of the game, which literally declines every week, and if the last seasonal story was anything, I can’t imagine a single reason why this should cost more money. I don’t know how other Destiny players feel, but I’m about to change my entire perspective on this game.

I’m waiting a month for a season before I decide whether to buy it. […] The quality of the game has since changed drastically in every conceivable way. […] The amount of problems lurking beneath the surface of this game and the price/quality of the last DLC and the season is absolutely [bad].
writes SenpaiSwanky on Reddit

Overall, the criticism of the price increase of the Destiny 2 season pass shows that players are still willing to pay for high-quality content. However, if these new content does not meet expectations, it could also lead to a decline in player numbers.

It is currently unclear how the price increase of the season pass will affect Destiny 2. However, Guardians have made it very clear that they want more and, above all, better content without annoying bugs for their money.

It is now up to Bungie whether they can meet these expectations in the future.

What do you think about the price increase of the Destiny 2 season pass? Are you willing to pay more for upcoming seasons or perhaps even expansions, or do you think that the higher costs are for “practically nothing”? Then feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.

One of the best RPGs of all time is available for under 5 €, offers over 100 hours of gameplay

Benedict Grothaus 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Dragon Age: Origins is an absolute classic and is regarded as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Additionally, it is one of the favorite games of MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus. Right now, you can get it for less than €5 on GOG.

What kind of game is this? With Dragon Age: Origins, the studio BioWare established the famous fantasy series back in the day. The RPG was released in November 2009. You play a legendary “Grey Warden” who is supposed to protect the world of Thedas from a great evil.

The Dragon Age games are classic role-playing games where you choose a class, level up, learn abilities, and improve your equipment. However, battles take place in real-time, not turn-based.

In addition, you have companions available to interact with and even engage in romances. What makes Dragon Age so special are the stories surrounding the individual characters and the world. There are details everywhere that provide unexpected twists and more depth.

The great uniqueness of the Dragon Age universe is the famous “tapestry”: All your decisions are recorded when you play with your profile. Every decision has an impact, not only on the current game but even on future games.

Dragon Age has a rating of 91 on Metacritic, while the Ultimate Edition on Steam has a score of 89% since release. According to How Long To Beat, you can invest 106 hours until you discover everything.

This is the deal: On GOG, Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition is currently 75% off and available for only €4.69. On Steam, you would normally pay €25 for it. The Ultimate Edition includes, in addition to the base game:

the expansion “Awakening”
all 9 DLCs that have been released since launch
here’s the deal for Dragon Age on GOG

By the way, Dragon Age is also available on Netflix and if you have 3 hours to spare, you should definitely check out Absolution. Here’s the trailer for the series:

Dragon Age 4: The latest installment is already in the works

Dragon Age: Origins is the first part of the series. After that, two successors, Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, followed, and Dragon Age 4 has been in development for some time now. However, when it will be released is still uncertain.

According to earlier rumors, Dragon Age 4 was supposed to contain live elements, but due to the flop of Anthem, a lot appears to have changed. There is still not much information about the latest installment, except that a familiar character from Inquisition is likely to return.

BioWare loses 2 of its key people – What will happen to Dragon Age 4 and Mass Effect?

von Andreas Bertits

I personally can recommend Origins to everyone. In my opinion, it is by far the best part of the series, where I have even spent well over 100 hours just to see as many stories and different endings as possible.

This is currently a point of contention between the former writers of Dragon Age and the video game industry. One reason why Dragon Age: Origins is worth it for every story fan:

Twitch bans its biggest streamer – She actually wanted to behave well

Nicole Wakulczyk 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

With over 6 million followers, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (29) is one of the most successful female streamers on Twitch. She has now been surprisingly banned; the reasons are unclear but may be related to current conflicts.

Why was Amouranth banned? This is still unclear. She has already received six bans on Twitch (via Streamerbans), each lasting no longer than a few days. A visit to her widely-followed channel shows the familiar message displayed after bans on the platform:

“This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion

Autoplay

The ban came just days after her last stream

What is surprising about Amouranth’s ban? She last streamed on May 1, and the ban occurred just three days later. It is speculated that her suggestion to Adriana Chechik to resolve their conflict in a boxing match could have led to this. Chechik has previously publicly disparaged her streaming colleague.

The Community Guidelines of Twitch state that expressions of violence and threats of violence may lead to a ban.

Previously, Amouranth was particularly known for her bikini streams and ASMR content on Twitch. However, she also has a significant reach on OnlyFans and Twitter.

How large is her social media reach?

Twitch: 6,000,000 followers
Twitter: 3,600,000 followers
Instagram: 637,000 followers
YouTube: 979,000 followers
Snapchat: 235,000 followers

In the past, Amouranth has been careful with her content while testing the limits repeatedly. Thus, she appeared scantily clad and exposed herself multiple times, apparently without realizing it.

In October 2022, revelations occurred during a livestream. She tearfully reported that she was married, but her husband forbade her to reveal this. Her marriage was toxic; her husband blackmailed and controlled her. He forced her to stream excessively and threatened her.

What impact has this had on Amouranth? After her separation, she was pleased to be able to shape her streams and free time according to her own designs. She planned to get more sleep and stream gaming.

In which categories has Amouranth streamed, among others?

ASMR – 10,000 hours
Just Chatting – 7,000 hours
Pools, Hot Tubs – 2,800 hours
Just Dance – 312 hours
Mario Kart 8 – 188 hours

Amouranth plans content changes

Older clips of the streamer show that while she broadcast gaming content, she was also in her pool. This way, she streamed two categories simultaneously, while only one was listed.

However, this was not the only planned change. Most recently, the successful streamer has been reconsidering a content refresh. She announced that she is in talks with OnlyFans about “family-friendly” content for an offshoot of the platform.

How has Amouranth reacted to the ban? So far, not at all. There has been no statement on any of her public social media platforms regarding the Twitch ban. Her last tweet was posted after the ban, showing a photo of the streamer. Above the photo, she asks: “Hey?”.

The Twitch competitor Kick responded with a “heyy”. A Twitter user commented: “I see what you are doing here.” On Kick, streamers showcase content that has now been banned on Twitch.

Valorant: Professional team has to give up because a 23-year-old is too engrossed in a new online game

Schuhmann 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In the shooter Valorant, the team “Ghost CommandoS” had to forfeit a match because they were unable to field a full team. A 23-year-old player from Taiwan was so busy with the new gacha game “Honkai Star Rail” (PC, Mobile, coming soon to PS4/PS5) that he couldn’t manage to install the Valorant client in time. Other players seem to understand this, and the 23-year-old is somewhat proud of himself.

What kind of match was it?

On May 2nd, a Valorant match between S2 Esports and Ghost Commandos was scheduled in an Asian tournament; the pick and ban phase had already taken place, but since one team wasn’t complete, they forfeited the game without a fight.

This team forfeited: The team Ghost Commandos is having a hard time in the VCL Taiwan/Hong Kong Split anyway: They have played 6 matches and haven’t won a single one. They were only able to win 1 out of 14 maps played.

Currently, the team is in 8th place out of 8 and has received $500 in prize money.

Player failed to install tournament client in time

What happened to the player? In a Japanese news article about the incident, it was noted that the match was scheduled for 7 PM, but even after an hour it had not yet started. It is stipulated that all players must be in a lobby 30 minutes before the start.

The eSports journalist Selugi then clarified: One of the players was so busy playing Honkai Star Rail that he didn’t manage to install the Valorant client in time.

Why do you need to install a client specifically? In Valorant tournaments, it is required to install the tournament client with all enabled skins. Since a new map was added to the pool of playable maps, a reinstallation was necessary.

When news sites reported that the match had to be forfeited because one of the players got lost in Honkai Star Rail, the 23-year-old Taiwanese Keynes proudly tweeted, “That’s about me.”

„It is too embarrassing“ – Football star admits to being a gamer, but he is ashamed of his favorite game

Dariusz Müller 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Professional footballer Erling Haaland revealed in an interview that he plays video games. However, he is embarrassed about his current game.

Which footballer is being talked about? Erling Braut Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who has been playing for the English football club Manchester City since summer 2022, after spending 2.5 years hunting for goals at Borussia Dortmund.

In what context did Haaland talk about video games? In the English Premier League, Haaland has been scoring goals one after another since his transfer – including on May 3, against the London club West Ham United, when he scored the interim 2-0 (final score 3-0) in the 70th minute.

This was Haaland’s 35th goal in 31 “Premier League” games. He sets a new goal record that was previously shared by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, each with 34 goals.

After the match, there was an interview with the broadcaster “Sky Sports”, where further records and video games were discussed.

“I will go home, play a few video games”

What does Haaland say about gaming? When asked about another goal record he could break, Haaland said he doesn’t think about it, as it would drive him crazy. Instead, he will go home and play video games.

We cannot constantly think about these records, then […] I would go crazy. So I don’t think about such things. I will go home, play a few video games, eat something, and then sleep.
Haaland via Sky Sports

Subsequently, in the interview, he was asked which games he is currently playing. Laughing, Haaland replied: “I can’t say that, it’s too embarrassing.”

Unfortunately, the football professional does not reveal later in the interview which games he plays. Of course, the internet has some theories.

You can watch the post-match interview with Haaland on Reddit; we will embed the post here. The gaming topic starts at 03:43.

What is suspected, could Haaland be playing? Both on Reddit and Twitter, numerous tips are circulating about which game Haaland might be playing – even though most of them are meant to be humorous.

On Reddit, the suggestions like Farming Simulator, Stardew Valley, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and The Sims received a lot of upvotes. Gacha games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail were also mentioned. League of Legends was also a topic.

On Twitter, some users are also guessing Call of Duty and FIFA 23, where he could potentially play himself in the latter. Other games mentioned include WoW, Minecraft, and Fortnite.

Other stars also enjoy gaming in their free time. However, his enthusiasm for gaming is not shared by all, as we have come to realize. You can read the full story on MeinMMO:

A brilliant idea for office, Twitch, and gaming raised more than 2 million euros on Kickstarter

Benedikt Schlotmann 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

A manufacturer combines 2 monitors into a set and wants to make everyday life easier with it. The simple but brilliant idea raised 2 million euros on Kickstarter.

In everyday life, many people rely on multiple monitors. Whether for work or gaming, two monitors make many tasks easier or more comfortable. This was also thought by the company Mobile Pixels Inc. Why attach two monitors to a mount when you can just connect 2 monitors into one?

The exciting idea was successful after just half an hour and raised more than 2.1 million US dollars (around 2 million euros) on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

Two monitors are combined with a hinge

What initially looks like a large monitor is actually a system of two individual display units. Geminos and Geminos X are screens with a hinge in the middle. The system consists of two 24-inch monitors arranged one above the other.

The stand also includes a USB hub. A webcam is also built in. The multifunction system is then connected to a computer or laptop via an HDMI cable.

The areas of application are incredibly diverse:

Twitch streamers can play games on the upper monitor while monitoring their chat or controlling their streaming software on the lower display.
Creators can arrange their important projects directly on top of each other and keep everything in view without having to change their angle of view.
Gamers can play on one monitor while having Discord open on the other.

What does such a model cost? The price is reportedly around 1,000 US dollars. The better and higher resolution X variant is expected to cost 1,300 US dollars. However, those who want to order this item in Germany should remember that import fees will apply.

The price of the Steam Controller has been leaked and many are now hoping that the Steam Machine will not become an expensive affair

Great success on Kickstarter shows high demand

The project of the company Mobile Pixels Inc. seems to be in high demand. The project raised more than 2 million euros from over 3,000 supporters. Meanwhile, the first buyers can enjoy their new “toy”. A tiny console on Kickstarter was also a huge success back then.

Alternative to 2 monitors: MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has now parted ways with a dual-monitor setup and switched his 2 monitors for a large display. He now believes that he will not need any other setup for everyday life. You can read all the details directly on MeinMMO:

Company claims ARK 2 will only come out in 2025 – spreads nasty error, scares fans

Dariusz Müller 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

A partner company of ARK developer Studio Wildcard has spread the information that ARK 2 will be released only in spring 2025. Now the developers clarified how this information came about.

Who made the claim? The company “Digital Domain” specializes in the representation of special effects in various media, including films and video games. For the horror title “The Quarry,” the company, for instance, created numerous recordings of bodies and faces.

Additionally, Digital Domain is collaborating with Studio Wildcard, the developer studio behind ARK 2 and the team working on the survival title.

What error did the company spread? In an annual report from Digital Domain, the company talks about the ongoing collaboration with Studio Wildcard and mentions in a parenthesis that the game is supposed to be released in spring 2025 – this would mean another delay (via hk.digitaldomain.com). Currently, the release of ARK 2 is dated for the end of 2024.

Has ARK 2 been delayed again? No, the last delay of the ARK 2 release happened on March 31, 2023, when the survival game was postponed to the end of 2024. There was no official delay to spring 2025.

Moreover, the online magazine gamesradar reported that a spokesperson from Studio Wildcard said regarding the statement that ARK 2 will be released in spring 2025, that he has no idea where this information came from.

In another email, the Wildcard spokesperson added that it was probably just a typo. Therefore, the release of ARK 2 is still planned for 2023.

How did the players react? Shortly after the publication of Digital Domain’s annual report, the information also circulated in the ARK community. A Twitter account that posts news about the survival game shared the information before it turned out to be false (via Twitter).

Overall, over 220,000 users saw the tweet, which was shared over 300 times. Many users reacted in the comments with memes expressing a kind of despair. The community seemed shocked, although many wrote that they would not be surprised by another delay.

In any case, ARK fans will have to wait a while for the release of the successor. In August, a remaster will first be released, which has been controversially reviewed by many players and received a new price shortly after the initial announcement.

Diablo 4 restricts what you can see from the world – but there is a good reason for that, explains someone who should know

Benedict Grothaus 5. May 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Since fans have been able to play the beta of Diablo 4, numerous improvement suggestions have come to the table at Blizzard. Many of these concern features that are different in the new installment compared to its predecessor. In a particularly heated case, players are demanding a zoom factor, but one fan explains why it’s not as easy as many think.

What function is being discussed? In a large thread on Reddit, a fan is calling for Blizzard to allow further zooming out in Diablo 4. This means: the camera should be able to be pulled further away from the action.

Compared to older installments, the camera in Diablo 4 is a bit closer to the action, but automatically zooms out further during battles against a world boss. However, much more happens there, and significantly more players are involved.

The problem with the current zoom factor is that relatively little is displayed on the screen, but in greater detail. If you want more information, such as which enemies are shooting at you from far away, you have to move closer to that direction.

In our hub, you will find all the information about Diablo 4. In the fight against Ashava, you will see how the camera zoom changes:

Start video

Autoplay

Why is it not that easy? The frustration about the zoom is quite high, leading to reactions such as those suggesting that enemies should just leave others their wish. One user explains in detail why this feature probably won’t come.

Hawkwise83 claims to be a level designer himself and has been in the gaming business for 16 years. He states that a fixed zoom ensures that the game is fair for everyone – especially since Diablo 4 has PvP, even though it will be inherently unfair. However, this is not the only factor:

The entire world was designed around this camera. Camera view, distance, field of view, all of this has a huge impact on level design. The maps are built around this camera. Also content recognition, the visual understanding of players, and so on. […]

Maybe it’s okay to zoom out a bit here; I didn’t make these levels. But I suspect that leads to problems. I’ve worked on RTS games, and damn, everything depended on the camera. […] Diablo has a similar camera to an RTS.
Hawkwise83 on Reddit

The user receives a lot of support with hundreds of upvotes and comments agreeing with him. Whether Blizzard will decide differently and indeed add a zoom feature remains to be seen.

Some features of Diablo 4 cause confusion

Since the open beta tests, players have found some criticism regarding Diablo 4 or decisions made by Blizzard that no one really understood. Besides the zoom, the map overlay is also a topic. Blizzard has already stated that the map overlay will not be coming.

However, one of the biggest criticisms was the design of certain characters, specifically druids and necromancers. While the necromancers look oddly but somehow suitably sickly and frail, many fans simply find druids too fat. Blizzard has already answered questions about this:

Blizzard explains to us why druids in Diablo 4 are “thick” and necromancers are so skinny

von Maik Schneider

An important point was also the font, which bothered fans. Here, Blizzard has already responded: at release, the font will be somewhat more suitable. This brought a lot of relief to the community.

Otherwise, the tests were received extremely positively overall, and many fans are looking forward to the release, despite small flaws. Some even claim that they have lost the joy of other games between beta and release. Fortunately, there is still one last test for everyone, during which there will even be new rewards:

WoW is currently giving you better loot in simple dungeons than in the hardest content

Cortyn 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The best loot comes from the simplest content. Every character in World of Warcraft should seize it quickly – it’s worth it.

With Patch 10.1 Fury of Neltharion, the loot system of World of Warcraft Dragonflight has changed significantly. Almost all items can now be upgraded, so even weak quest items can turn out to be really useful gear in the end.

But one quest rewards you with such strong gear for minimal effort that even current mythical raid rewards pale in comparison.

What quest is that? The quest “Fighting is Its Own Reward” can be accepted in Valdrakken, from the NPC Kemora at coordinates 35 / 28. It replaces the previous weekly dungeon quests where you had to obtain items from end bosses.

The new quest asks you to complete 5 current Dragonflight dungeons on heroic difficulty.

You heard right: Heroic. Heroic dungeons are comparatively easy and do not even require a full group of 5 people with current gear. Tanks can probably handle the dungeons alone. With a full group, it should take no more than an hour to sprint through the dungeons.

What reward is there? For completing the quest, you can choose between 2 different rewards. You can:

Choose a random champion item at level 415 that can be upgraded multiple times.
Alternatively, you will receive a “Shadowflame Insignia of the Dragon” that you need for upgrading items.

For most, the champion item will be interesting. Because you can easily upgrade this item to item level 424. In the coming weeks, you can even increase the upgrade to item level 437.

This item is already as strong in its base version as loot from the still-current raid “Vault of the Incarnates” on mythical difficulty. With enough upgrades, this item level will be significantly surpassed.

Due to the high reward, this quest is also perfect for equipping alt characters immediately with powerful items, giving them a good start in season 2, which begins next Wednesday.

You should make sure to complete this quest by Tuesday evening at the latest – the item could provide a really strong boost to ease your start into the season.

New MMORPG is coming exclusively for PC – Focuses on great graphics, but the new PS5 MMORPGs are also focusing on that

Jakob Gerden 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG with the picturesque name Bellatores targets PC enthusiasts with its medieval world in the new trailer. Here, the developer boasts about PC exclusivity and the presumed advantages in graphics. Whether it outshines the (upcoming) competition, which has now established a firm foothold in the console cycle, you can find out here.

What makes the PC MMORPG Bellatores special? The new MMORPG is set in the Middle Ages and begins its story with the death of the mad King Heinrich. The kingdom plunges into chaos, much to the delight of those who now vie for power in bitter wars.

Graphically, the game resembles MMORPGs like Black Desert Online or Throne and Liberty. However, Bellatores aims to surpass its predecessors.

See for yourself if it can succeed and watch the trailer that focuses on the graphical finesse:

Graphically, the PC MMORPG Bellatores is of high quality

How does Bellatores fare in graphic comparison? At first glance, the game really looks damn good. Especially the flora and fauna are impressive. In the end, however, it will have to be shown whether the trailer and reality match.

But even if that is the case, PlayStation 5 and others have no need to fear Bellatores, as the competition is already on the starting blocks. For example, there is significant competition in the form of Chrono Odyssey, which also looks just as good.

The creators of this MMORPG have also released gameplay material.

For comparison, here is the trailer for Chrono Odyssey:

Start video

We can definitely expect some powerhouses in the MMORPG section, like Chrono Odyssey, Throne and Liberty, or Ashes of Creation. In the end, competition famously stimulates the business – one has to wait and see whether Bellatores can establish itself here.

What is your opinion on this? Do you think that system exclusivity creates advantages and often also automatically a prerequisite for prettier graphics?

What else distinguishes Bellatores? Besides its pixel splendor, the game also aims to impress with other features. These include:

A great focus on the medieval setting and outfits
Multiple races
A dynamic world
Open PvP with the possibility to attack players from other factions
Diverse activities in PvPvE
Arcade gameplay without auto-function
No class selection (at the beginning of the game)
A player-based economy
A system for taxes and duties
Dungeons and raids within the open world
Your character develops by training corresponding skills

The past has often proven that graphics are not everything. Thus, World of Warcraft continues to be one of the most successful games in its genre despite some problems.

Other titles, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, have also held a special place among players for years. Furthermore, the graphic style, despite all graphical features, can ultimately be the decisive criterion for players to give it a chance.

LoL: 23-year-old Dane makes unusual champ popular on his own – Now even Faker trains with him

Schuhmann 5. May 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends , the Dane Rasmus “Caps” Winther (23) has recently been on an unusual run with the champion Nautilus. He plays the support champ in the midlane and has had much success: In SoloQ, he has a win rate of 92%, having already won 2 games with him at the MSI tournament. Now, allegedly, the biggest midlaners in the world, like Faker, are practicing the pick to showcase it at the MSI tournament.

What kind of champ is Nautilus?

Nautilus, “the Titan of the Depths,” is actually a relatively cumbersome supporter who runs around with a huge anchor.
With his ability Q, he can throw out his anchor: If he hits an opponent, he pulls the opponent towards him and throws himself at them. If he only hits terrain, Nautilus pulls himself towards the ground.
Normally, Nautilus is played as a supporter on the bot lane, where he stays close to his ADC, absorbs damage, and sets up kills. In the hands of a weak supporter, Nautilus is an immobile punching bag who constantly dies, but in the hands of a master, he appears as strong as a tuna – and they are known to be able to kill lions (via youtube).

Start video

A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is

Autoplay

What’s going on with the midlane? In 2019, the Chinese team “FunPlus Phoenix” played an outstanding tournament at the Worlds and became world champions. In the final, they defeated Caps with G2.

The Chinese team had the standout player of the tournament in the midlane with “Doinb”, who was known for playing “crazy picks”.

Doinb was able to collect many kills with offensive champs but could also play defensive champs like Nautilus and act as a setup for his brilliant jungle partner Tian, who would then play more offensively.

This is so unusual because in the midlane, mages and assassins are usually played. Defensive characters or supporters belong in the top lane, jungle, or bot lane – just not in the midlane, where usually “the killers” of a team play.

In 2023, Caps is now copying this style from 2019 and is enormously successful:

Caps plays Nautilus as a mage and builds the champ in such a way that he lowers the magic resistance of opponents (via dexerto)
His jungler Yike plays an AP carry like Nidalee, who deals even more damage when Nautilus weakens the opponents and sets them up

A supporter as a midlaner – Caps gets 30 assists in 2 games

How is he being successful with that? Caps has already dominated the solo queue in Europe with Nautilus as a pick. Out of 12 games as Nautilus, he won 11 – a win rate of 92%.

Now at the international MSI tournament, Caps has played “Nautilus Midlane” in 2 games and has garnered an incredible number of assists with the champ. In Match 1, Caps went 1-3-20, in Game 2 1-3-10.

In both cases, Nautilus operates like before with FunPlus Phoenix: Nautilus is the assist generator, his jungler gets the kills.

Doinb has already noticed this. He sees it as a homage to himself and his playing style from before and says that when he is no longer playing professionally, he would like to train G2. They remind him of the good old days.

A fantastic play by Caps:

“I taught him everything!”

This is how his supporter comments: The supporter of G2, Mikyx, says that they have now trained with Nautilus and oriented themselves towards Doinb and his 2019 World Championship. Nautilus recently received buffs, Caps is dominating with him and the pick has worked in scrims.

In all modesty, Mikyx completely takes the credit for Caps’ current success with Nautilus. Caps initially struggled quite a bit, but he then showed Caps how to play Nautilus correctly, he says with a smile, and now it works.

What consequences does that have? As Dexerto reports, some midlaners who will be playing at MSI have actually been caught training with Nautilus. Among them are Nisqy, Yagao, and even Faker himself.

Perhaps Caps has managed to set a strong trend all on his own here.

By the way, from the old G2 team of 2019, only Caps and Mikyx are still around, and even that has a strange reason:

New coop survival game on Steam is “like Minecraft, but adult” – Lures with insane movement and creative building system

Nicole Wakulczyk 5. May 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Enshrouded is the new survival action RPG title from the creators of Portal Knights and is set to enter early access on Steam later this year. The game is particularly interesting for co-op fans, but also friends of creative building and crafting might get what they are looking for.

In Enshrouded, it is possible to explore the vast world alone or in a group of up to 16 players, fight monsters, or just build an entire village. The setting is a continent shrouded in deadly fog with safe spots. At these, it is possible to gather, build, and most importantly: survive.

The first, 2-minute trailer visually reminds one of Valheim. An adventurer awakens in shorts with “nothing but his will” before embarking on his journey.

Here you can see the first trailer:

Start video

Enshrouded: Trailer

Autoplay

This is what Enshrouded offers:

Character Development: with the help of a detailed skill tree, it is possible to develop and enhance various abilities
Survival: to survive, it is necessary to protect oneself from the deadly fog, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets
Dynamic Battles: magical attacks, spells, various weapons, and shields aid the character in the fight against different types of monsters and bosses
Mobility Options: by using wingsuits and grappling hooks, it is possible to reach special areas
Biome Diversity: deserts, mountains, caves, and dungeons encourage exploration of the open world
Crafting: an extensive crafting system offers creative possibilities for voxel-based base building and equipment upgrades based on recipes and blueprints

The “Flameborn” hunts in the trailer with a bow and arrow, chops down a tree, and grills his food by moonlight at the campfire. It becomes clear that this is not the end, as the character soon acquires additional armor and weapon types and encounters various foes. Besides block and evasive techniques, he uses magical attacks as well as his surroundings in combat.

The described “rough beauty of the game world” is reflected in various biomes, which the adventurer utilizes in the gameplay. He mines stones to access further areas and sneaks through the mysterious fog. In between, the “Flameborn” flies through the air with a wingsuit and swings with a kind of grappling hook through ruins.

To build a base, recipes, blueprints, or a block-by-block construction method can be used, which one is familiar with from other survival games. According to the developers, creative possibilities like in Minecraft are possible – but with a mature look.
