Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Although the official release date for Battlefield 5 is November 20, 2018, early access has already been available since November 8. Thus, the first reviews on Metacritic followed shortly after. Find out here how the game is received by the press and players.

Surprisingly positive mood: Just a few hours after the first players started with the early access of Origin Access Premier on November 8, the first reviews were already in.

Despite numerous controversies, such as the women debate and the sometimes harsh criticism directed at Battlefield 5, the initial ratings are surprisingly positive.

Battlefield-V-Trailer-02

This is what the press says: Battlefield 5 scores an impressive 86 points on Metacritic. The 8 reviews published so far are all positive. For comparison: The highly praised direct competitor Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 scored 87 points on release day.

This is what the players say: Currently, there are no user reviews on Metacritic yet. However, first players are also expressing mostly positive opinions about Battlefield 5 on Reddit.

The reddit user sepltbadwy summarizes the mood there quite well. In his thread, he says he expected a wreck and was surprised in many ways by how good Battlefield 5 is. Not bad for something that people thought would implode.

An overview of the current ratings of Battlefield 5

The following press ratings are currently available on Metacritic (as of November 9 at 14:00):

  • Hobby Consolas: 91
  • Aus Gamers: 90
  • Digital Chumps: 90

Press Opinions on the Release of Battlefield 5

Here you will find some exemplary ratings for the early release of Battlefield 5.

Hobby Consolas – An Impressive Shooter

The highest rating so far comes from the site Hobby Consolas. They awarded 91 points and said:

“An impressive shooter, both in terms of gameplay and technical perspective, which lacks content at launch. However, many new maps, modes, and weapons (free for everyone) are promised for the coming months.”

AusGamers – No More Community Splits

The Australian site Aus Gamers is also taken by Battlefield 5 and rates the latest installment of the Battlefield series a solid 90 points. It states:

“If you are a Battlefield fan who didn’t like that DICE has been playing it safe lately, then Battlefield 5 is made for you. I am one of those people and can hardly wait to dive into the epic sessions of a game that could quickly become my favorite Battlefield title – especially since the community will no longer be divided by future content.”

Battlefield 5 Title Soldier on the Ground

Digital Chumps – More Content than Many Expect

The site Digital Chumps has also awarded a high rating of 90 points for Battlefield 5. They justified it as follows:

“Battlefield V has much more content to offer than many might expect. The War Stories provide meaningful experiences in small doses, the maps of the game are huge and well designed, the modes offer more entertainment compared to Battlefield 1.

The customization and progression system will keep people engaged for a long time and provide additional motivation. It feels like a Battlefield game that should dispel concerns about insufficient launch content.”

PCGamesN – Battlefield 5 Offers the Best Singleplayer Campaign in the Series

PCGamesN also joins the 90-point score. The site states:

battlefield 5 rotterdam

“Battlefield V offers the best single-player campaign in the Battlefield series to date, highlighting the horrors of war from rare perspectives. This tension also extends through the multiplayer, which, through the adjustments, unmistakably reminds you of your vulnerability.”

CG Magazine – A Fantastic Shooter

The CG Magazine gave the lowest rating of all – yet still a respectable 80 points. This is how they view the latest Battlefield installment:

“Despite the bad press at the beginning, I have great confidence in DICE as a developer. After they listened to the community and took its feedback seriously, they delivered a fantastic shooter with Battlefield 5 this year.”

Overwatch: The hero Doomfist is likely to be nerfed soon

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Overwatch continues to tinker with its heroes. This time, it is Doomfist who is likely facing a “nerf” soon.

Game Designer talks about nerfs: At BlizzCon 2018, Game Designer Joshua Noh spoke with pro gamer Lane “Surefour” Roberts from the “LA Gladiators” during his livestream. According to Noh, the team is currently testing some internal changes to Doomfist.

Less Range – Doomfist lives more dangerously

What will be nerfed? According to Noh, two abilities of Doomfist are set to become weaker:

  • The Seismic Slam
  • The Uppercut

The seismic slam will have a range reduced from 20 meters to only 15 meters. The damage of the charge will be lowered from 86 to 65. This should also impact his passively built shield.

The uppercut will only deprive the victim of control for 0.6 seconds, meaning only for the duration of the hit itself. A complete rework of the hero remains unlikely.

Link to the Twitch content

This is what changes due to the nerf: The reduced distance on the seismic slam changes the range within which Doomfist can effectively attack and escape.

He can no longer jump into an opposing team without the risk of not being able to get out or being caught.

The team decided on these changes after the nerf addressed by Kaplan to Doomfist’s Rocket Punch did not go well with testers. The Rocket Punch will retain its range for now, while the other skills will be weakened.

Overwatch Doomfist Fighting

When will the patch come? Noh has not yet specified an exact time. He simply responded with “soon,” which has become a meme at Blizzard. “Soon” often means an indefinite time of several months for Blizzard.

However, since the changes here are already concrete and “soon” in Overwatch usually tends to be shorter, the patch might land on the PTR in a few days or weeks.

First, however, the release of the new hero Ashe seems to be on the horizon, who has been playable on the Overwatch PTR for several days now.

What do you think about the change? Is Doomfist due for a nerf, or should he be buffed instead? Leave us a comment or chat in our Overwatch group and visit us on Facebook for more info and news.

Once Ashe enters the game, a lot could change anyway. With Ashe and Bob, you can have up to 7 Overwatch heroes on your team.

Nach über 5 Jahren erreicht DayZ den Beta-Status, Fans sind skeptisch

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

In 2012, the zombie survival game DayZ started as a mod for the shooter Arma 2. More than half a decade later, the game is now close to entering beta.

The beta is scheduled to be released by the end of the year and will bring significant changes. For the time being, the team will focus solely on making DayZ a stable game.

The DayZ Beta is Coming!

That’s why now is the right time for the beta: As the development team has announced, it is time to present a stable version of DayZ. They want to ensure that bugs are fixed and that the survival game makes a solid impression.

Hunting in teams with other players…

This is intended to happen so that the team can then focus on building upon and expanding this stable beta. Furthermore, the developers believe that DayZ has now reached a status where all core elements are present. With the beta, DayZ will reach version 1.0 by the end of the year.

DayZ should no longer be a construction site: Many years of work have gone into DayZ. Years that brought about many changes:

The team now wants to show that despite all these issues, DayZ will become the game that fans have been wishing for for years. To do this, the title must first be brought to a state where constant bug fixes due to new content are not necessary.

No New Content for DayZ in the Near Future

A final update before the content stop: Bohemia Interactive has released a final experimental update before the beta with version 0.63, which brings new content. According to the team, these will not all function the same, but will be revised during the now starting stabilization phase. These changes include:

  • Important engine adjustments
  • Improvements in gameplay and network performance
  • Introduction of base building
  • Improved vehicles
  • Optimized AI for infected and animals
  • Major map overhaul to make Chernarus more beautiful and detailed
  • Ability to run personal servers
  • Modding support
DayZ Title 2

Fans Remain Skeptical: Fans of DayZ are disturbed by this announcement. Many believe that the game is still far from beta or even release.

Shuff writes on Steam: “I returned to this game yesterday for an hour and it is far from release… “

Myyrä says: “Holy hell, is it finally happening? I mean, it’s been 5 years of disappointment.”

Fortnite: Marketing-Mann wird Kult-Star und verliert seinen Job

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

With Fortnite: Battle Royale, marketing expert Pete Accetturo unintentionally became a celebrity. This had consequences, and now the man has lost his job.

Who is Pete Accetturo? Pete Accetturo, better known as “VoiceOverPete,” is a former sales expert and has been working as a voice-over artist on the job portal Fiverr since 2009.

There, he voices videos for various marketing campaigns, including home renovations, legal marijuana, and e-learning.

Pete Accetturo impresses with his good screen presence and likable manner. The man can literally sell you anything.

What does this have to do with Fortnite? Basically, anyone can hire Pete’s services to have him record lines, as long as they are not obscenities. Therefore, a cheeky Fortnite fan had the idea to have Pete say the following text:

Attention all Fortnite players! John Wick is in great danger, and he needs your help to eliminate all squads in the Tilted Towers. For that, he needs a golden Scar and a few drinking mugs. To help him, he only needs your credit card number and the three numbers on the back, as well as the month and date of expiration. But you have to be quick so John can secure the bag and achieve the epic Victory Royale!

Fake scam becomes a meme

What does all this mean? The text from Pete sounds like a typical scam, i.e., a fraud attempt to get credit card details. However, the wording and presentation of the message are clearly ironic and meant as a joke. Therefore, Pete also agreed to the request.

fortnite-meh-titel

Text becomes a meme: However, no one expected the consequences of this action. After the video with the fake scam went online, it quickly spread viral and gained many fans.

They all wanted a video like that, and soon Pete couldn’t keep up with the orders.

Meme success quintupled revenue

500 orders per month: Due to this newfound attention, suddenly there were about 500 orders for Pete per month. Previously, he had on average 100 such jobs per month, for which he charged $50 each.

https://youtu.be/dIXwJBC8sA0

Due to his fame as the meme guy, his revenue virtually quintupled overnight! The texts that Accetturo was supposed to record dealt with all sorts of topics and usually had the same theme: Someone has problems and urgently needs your credit card numbers. In one video, however, Accetturo simply said the word “chair” 45 times.

Meme violates guidelines, leads to ban!

Legal department has no sense of humor: Business was booming for Accetturo. But then came the bad news from the platform Fiverr, where he offered his services.

According to their terms of service, one must absolutely not promote fraud schemes. And this is exactly what Accetturo would be doing with his meme videos.

That it was just a joke, Fiverr apparently refused to believe.

“I believe the legal department has no sense of humor,” Accetturo dryly remarked in a video produced specifically for that purpose.

Anyway, the man was basically out of a job because all his orders went through Fiverr. There were even over 200 open jobs there that he was currently working on.

VoiceoverPete goes independent, starts Patreon and Twitch channel

Silver lining: The shock over the dismissal from Fiverr didn’t last long. Because together with his son, Pete is currently building his own web presence. You can soon hire his services cheaper on the Patreon platform and support him financially there.

In addition, Accetturo wants to get into streaming and also stream Fortnite on Twitch. You can find his channel here.

Lord of the Rings Online: Classic server so popular that a second one is coming

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The classic server of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online has launched and has been received so well by players that the developers had to open a second one right away.

The developers did not expect the surge on the now launched Legendary server of LotRO. But they reacted quickly.

Great rush for the Legendary server

What happened? On November 8, the Legendary server “Anor” opened its gates to provide LotRO fans with a progressive gaming experience that should feel similar to the launch of the MMORPG in 2007.

The Lord of the Rings Online

The surge was so great that there were long queues and lags. The developers therefore opened a second server, “Ithil”, on the same day. Those who started on Anor can transfer their character to Ithil.

What the Legendary server offers: The Legendary server of The Lord of the Rings Online is not a typical classic server, as it also includes newer features that were added after the release of the MMO.

  • The adventure begins right at the start, like at the release of the game
  • The “progression server” guides you through the content step by step. Not all content is available from the beginning
  • It is necessary to subscribe for the Legendary server
  • All bug fixes as well as newer classes and races are included
The Lord of the Rings Online: Helm's Deep

Not a true classic server

How the Legendary server is received by players: Generally, the new Legendary server is very well received in the LotRO community. Many are returning now because they want to experience the gameplay of “back then” again.

But some veterans feel the server does not go far enough. Some had wished for a truly classic gaming experience, without all the new features of recent years.

  • Joetzim writes in the official forum: “The Legendary Server is as close to a classic server as we will ever get.”
  • aldarinondb says: “Feels like the first day of school. Fantastic!”

This is how Bungie plans to fix one of the most annoying time-wasters in Destiny 2

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Bungie is finally addressing one of the biggest fan complaints about Destiny 2 on consoles – the incredibly long wait times.

Since the release of Destiny 2, long loading times on the PS4 and Xbox One have been a sore point for many Guardians – even on the top models PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. But as Bungie stated in its latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, the studio is working to significantly reduce the annoying wait times for Guardians.

Soon you should spend significantly less time in loading screens in Destiny 2

What is the problem with loading times on consoles? Even at launch, the wait times in Destiny 2 were comparatively long. Especially when loading the initial character selection screen, it could take what felt like an eternity.

Forsaken ships

With each update, the wait times have continued to increase. Since the release of the Forsaken expansion, they have become particularly annoying. In some cases, it can take more than three minutes for the game to load the character selection or to arrive in the Tower.

But even when “approaching” various activities and using the fast travel function at a location, one often sits annoyed in front of the screen due to the sometimes enormous loading times.

So far, according to numerous fan reports, only switching from a hard drive to an SSD has been able to reduce these times.

This is the reason for the problem: Bungie stated that recently they have released many new content, bug fixes, and patches – and that at much shorter intervals than originally planned.

These shorter intervals have led to the code responsible for loading the respective data into the game being unexpectedly heavily burdened. This ultimately results in the longer wait times.

destiny_2_e3_2017_ps4_exclusive_ship

What is Bungie doing about it? This situation is not new and is one of the most annoying problems on consoles, but only now has Bungie officially addressed these complaints for the first time.

In the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, the studio announced that they are closely monitoring reports of long loading times on the PS4 and Xbox One. Additionally, the developers are already working on improvements to shorten these loading times, according to Bungie.

Currently, the developers are primarily focused on the following performance issues:

  • Long loading times when starting the game, logging in, and character selection
  • Long loading times when loading activities and fast traveling within a destination
  • Long loading times when opening the inventory and switching between the individual pages (tabs) of the user interface

Each of these problems is influenced by different additional factors.

d2 ship screen

When can we expect an improvement in performance? Bungie has surprisingly announced that players will already notice significant improvements in loading times with the upcoming update for Destiny 2 for Season 5. For example, instead of taking over two minutes, it should only take about one minute to travel from the Orbit to the EDZ.

When this update will be released is still unknown. However, the Season 4 ends in less than 3 weeks, on November 27, 2018. If the start of Season 5 does not take place immediately after Season 4, it should at least not take long – just like the corresponding update.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Players cannot use revolvers from GTA 5

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The double-action revolver was unlocked in GTA 5 for Red Dead Redemption 2. But now it cannot be collected. What’s the reason?

With a treasure hunt, a great adventure started in GTA Online. Long before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5 players were supposed to go on a scavenger hunt that ended with a golden revolver.

The special thing about the revolver: Players could then use the revolver in GTA Online. Additionally, Rockstar promised that the weapon would also be available in Red Dead Redemption 2 and that the treasure hunt would unlock it.

However, many players cannot collect the Colt. A bug is interfering.

Unlock double-action revolver – Location

After players unlocked the double-action revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2 with the treasure hunt in GTA 5 Online, they now search for it in the game.

Not unlocked yet? Here’s how to unlock the double-action revolver in GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 gunsmith

Where can you find the GTA revolver in RDR 2? You will find the revolver in the standard version at any gunsmith in RDR 2. Just go into the shop, talk to the merchant, and select the option to browse the catalog. On the second page under the revolver category, you will find the double-action revolver.

The double-action revolver is also supposed to be found during the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 in a mission.

Do you only unlock the skin? It seems that by completing the challenge in GTA Online, you unlock a special version of the double-action revolver.

GTA Revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2

The mentioned revolver seems to be just the standard version that you unlock through the treasure hunt in GTA 5 Online. After completing chapter 2, you will receive the standard version. But not the mentioned golden revolver from GTA.

Why is the revolver not available? The community is confused. Players are asking: I unlocked the revolver in GTA Online. Why is it not available in RDR 2 now?

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur character

The answer is a bug. Even though players meet all the requirements and have technically unlocked the firearm, they still have no access. Rockstar states:

We have identified an issue with the double-action revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2 and are working to resolve it.

Once the problem is resolved, players who have completed the challenge in GTA Online will receive the double-action revolver in RDR 2 as part of the regular single-player story progression.

So you will have to wait for a fix before the golden revolver becomes available. It seems that the double-action revolver will simply be assigned to you then. We will report on this once the issue is fixed.

Rockstar Games is also working on this camp bug.

MyMMO asks: Will you play Diablo Immortal?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The new game from Blizzard will be a mobile game. Therefore, we want to know from you if you will give Diablo: Immortal a chance.

Almost a week has passed since Blizzard presented its next big title at BlizzCon: a mobile game called Diablo Immortal.

The game is being developed in cooperation with NetEase and visually resembles many other action games on mobile.

DIablo immortal Necro Intro Title

The announcement of Diablo: Immortal faced strong resistance from fans, who were expecting a completely different game, and also resulted in numerous negative comments on YouTube. The cinematic has more than 90% negative ratings and is likely Blizzard’s least popular video ever.

However, there are also fans who are looking forward to it and would like to play a mobile Diablo when they are on the go. For them, the announcement was a win, and there were certainly interested and enthusiastic fans at the BlizzCon “Q&A Panel”.

DIablo Immortal Monk Intro Title

A large portion of players, however, want to wait and see how Blizzard and NetEase will implement the game and especially how the monetization will proceed.

What the editorial team thinks about Diablo: Immortal

Diablo: Immortal is also being hotly debated in our editorial team, and opinions are sharply divided.

Cortyn says: Although I likely have the option to play Diablo: Immortal on a smartphone like most people these days, I will not do so. I don’t like the “fiddling around” on a small display at all. When I play an RPG, even if it is just a “hack & slay action RPG,” I want to be able to immerse myself in the world. I simply cannot achieve that on a smartphone.

DIablo Immortal Barbarian Intro Title

Moreover, NetEase leaves a rather unpleasant taste for me, and I cannot comprehend why Blizzard is outsourcing “its baby” to others. That all holds me back a lot. While I do not think Diablo: Immortal will be as horrible as it is being foretold, I also do not think it will be good enough to convince me.

Robert says: I cannot understand the extent of the reactions. Blizzard has always emphasized that they are working on more Diablo projects. This includes Diablo 4, which will come sooner or later. I do not see Diablo Immortal merely as a stopgap to bridge the waiting time for the next big release, but also as an opportunity to reach new audiences.

One thing is certain: Diablo Immortal will attract players who have never played a Diablo title. Let’s welcome them!

I am concerned about the typical pay-to-win mechanics and microtransactions common in mobile titles. I hope Blizzard is aware of this responsibility and will create a player experience that positively distinguishes itself from other mobile games.

But now let’s turn to you! We want to know if you will give Diablo: Immortal a chance or if you will reject the game out of principle. You can cast your vote (only one vote).

 

If you want to elaborate on your answer, please use the comments and discuss actively.

Black Ops 4: Here are the 5 best weapons after the new patch

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 4 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has patch 1.04 changed all weapons. See here which setups are now particularly effective: We show you the 5 best class setups with the right weapons.

What did patch 1.04 do? The latest update 1.04 for Black Ops 4 arrived on October 30 and has shaken things up in Black Ops 4. Broadly speaking, SMGs have become stronger and some assault rifles have been slightly nerfed. Overall, practically every weapon has experienced changes.

Which setups are now the best?

With these 5 setups, you will be at the top: YouTuber TheXclusiveAce has deeply engaged with the new weapon changes and has compiled five recommended loadouts.

You can find his top 5 in the embedded video above. Here in the following paragraphs, the 5 top guns are explained again in detail with all mods and perks.

As for perks, unless otherwise specified, the following options are recommended:

  • Gun-Ho: This perk is a must. With it, you become much more mobile, can shoot and reload while running, and transition faster from sprinting to aiming.
  • Dead Silence: This makes you quieter and less easily detected.
  • Scavenger: Ideal if you use weapons that consume ammunition quickly. This allows you to loot ammunition from dead enemies.

Maddox

While the Maddox is an assault rifle, according to TheXclusiveAce, it is better suited as an SMG – for close-quarters combat. To optimally equip it for quick skirmishes at short distances, you need the following attachments:

maddox

Attachments:

  • Stock: This makes you move faster while aiming. Ideal for gliding around corners.
  • Quick-Draw 1 & 2: This allows you to aim much faster through sights.
  • Extended Mags: Increase your magazine capacity, as the Maddox reloads rather slowly.

VKM 750

This light LMG is rarely used but surprisingly effective with these updates. Add a launcher and take Engineer as the perk instead of Scavenger to find enemies more easily.

VKM

Attachments:

  • Reflex Sight: This sight is more of a novelty, the regular sight works too.
  • Quick-Draw: This compensates for the LMG’s disadvantage and allows you to aim faster.
  • High Caliber I & II: With this, two hits to the upper body are enough for a kill.

Auger DMR

With High-Caliber, this weapon is a real killer. You can manage longer corridors well and also excel in close combat because you can take down opponents with 2 shots. In skilled hands, the Auger DMR is even better than SMGs in close combat!

Auger

Attachments:

  • Reflex Sight: If you can aim well with the small red dot, it is better than the regular sight.
  • Fast Mags: This allows you to reload this weapon much faster, allowing you to take down enemies more quickly.
  • High Caliber I & II: This deals extreme damage, making this weapon a true killer. 2 hits to the upper body are enough for a kill.

Vapr

This weapon remains a superb SMG for wild close combat. With the adjustments presented here, it is even better. But watch your ammunition consumption. Without the Scavenger perk, the Vapr is not a good idea.

Vapr
  • Reflex Sight: A good sight for this SMG.
  • Stock: This allows you to move faster while aiming. Thus, you remain highly mobile with this weapon.
  • High Caliber I: Headshots become very dangerous.
  • Rapid Fire: Increases the fire rate of the Vapr even further.

Titan

This light LMG is currently one of the most feared weapons in the meta. Professionals regularly take out noobs with it. With the following adjustments, the weapon unleashes its full strength. Here, too, you should take Engineer as the perk.

Titan

Attachments:

  • Stock: This allows you to move faster while aiming. This makes this cumbersome weapon more mobile.
  • Quick-Draw: This allows you to aim much faster through sights. Always a good idea for LMGs.
  • Extended Mags: Increase your magazine capacity. This means you have to reload less often, which takes a long time with the Titan.

World of Tanks developers venture into the hack ‘n slash market with Pagan Online

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Wargaming.net has announced a new game with Pagan Online, which competes with Diablo. The hack ‘n slash puts you in a war against gods.

Pagan Online aims to be more than just a classic action role-playing game but wants to spice up the battles with MOBA elements.

Pagan Online Artwork 1

A new action RPG from the creators of World of Tanks

Here’s what it’s about in Pagan Online: The new game from the creators of World of Tanks is inspired by classic dungeon crawlers, where you face hordes of monsters.

  • You explore numerous dungeons overrun by monsters
  • The battles are supposed to be inspired by MOBAs, but without neglecting the action aspect
  • You confront powerful ancient gods in the story, who unleash their wrath against humanity
  • During your adventures, you find plenty of loot and improve your hero
  • It is possible to craft your own items
  • “Battle Chapters” are supposed to regularly expand the single-player campaign
  • In multiplayer mode, you face great challenges together
  • The title offers unspecified game modes
    Pagan Online Artwork 2

Many questions remain unanswered: Wargaming.net has not revealed much about Pagan Online yet. Therefore, some things are still unclear:

  • What about quests?
  • Is it an open world?
  • How exactly will MOBA elements be implemented?
  • What game modes are there?
  • What do the online features look like?

We are waiting for details

When will Pagan Online be released? The new role-playing game is planned for release next year. It will initially be available only on PC. There are currently no further details.

However, you can already register on the official website for the “pre-launch tests,” which do not have a date yet.

Here’s why Pagan Online is currently hard to assess: The developers have not revealed much and leave many questions open. Furthermore, no gameplay material has even been shown. There are neither screenshots nor a gameplay video. Only a cinematic trailer has been released.

It is therefore difficult to assess what direction the hack ‘n slash is going, what it looks like, how it plays, and what long-term motivation it offers. However, Wargaming.net has already proven with World of Tanks and also World of Warships that they can develop online games with long-term motivation. Therefore, we will have to wait for further details on Pagan Online.

Investors ask Take-Two: Is Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC?

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

Fans are hoping for a PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2, which has only been released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles so far. Whether this wish will ever come true is something Take-Two didn’t even want to reveal to investors.

There have been some hints for a PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2: A placeholder for a PC version of RDR 2 was found on the website of an electronics retailer, while a former programmer claimed to have worked on a PC version. Recently, during an earnings call, even the CEO of Take-Two did not want to reveal whether the game will still be released for PC.

CEO dodges questions about PC release

What happened: Every quarter, Take-Two holds a conference call with their investors to inform them about the business. In the current earnings call, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the upcoming Red Dead Online took a special role.

Red Dead Redemption 2 title horse

When the CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, was asked by an investor whether Red Dead Redemption 2 would also be released for PC, he evaded the question and either didn’t want to or couldn’t give a straight answer.

CEO dodges the question: The investor asked whether Strauss Zelnick could say anything about the frequency with which Red Dead Online will receive content updates and whether the release schedule will vary between Red Dead Online and GTA Online.

Thirdly, the investor wanted to know whether Red Dead Redemption 2 would also be released for PC, since Red Dead Redemption 1 was not released for that platform.

There was a long pause, during which Zelnick eventually asked the investor to repeat the question and began to respond:

At Rockstar, we usually bring everyone up to date on upcoming releases, and that would answer all your questions. However, it is still too early to talk about content updates for Red Dead 2 Online, as it obviously has not yet launched. In the past, we have of course updated content for our online offerings.

Regarding ongoing releases, Rockstar will discuss what their intentions are regarding all upcoming products, and the same goes for the platform. In this specific case, I really can’t enlighten you too much, I apologize.

Although many indications suggest that Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be released for PC, the Italian site “multiplayer.it” reported that Rockstar supposedly said that RDR 2 “will never” be released for PC. However, this was said to have been a translation error.

Destiny 2 with disappointing numbers – This is what Activision wants to do

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

The online shooter Destiny 2 is apparently selling worse than Activision would like, despite the Forsaken expansion. The publisher already has a plan for how to generate more revenue from Destiny 2.

Expectations not met: As Activision stated in the recent earnings call, the sales of Destiny 2: Forsaken did not meet the publisher’s expectations. It was stated literally: “Some of our other franchises like Destiny are not performing as well as we would like.” However, no specific numbers were provided.

Activision COO Cody Johnson further stated: “We have not yet observed that the vast majority of players are increasingly turning back to Destiny 2. This has led to expectations not being met so far.

Some players are still in the “wait and see” mode. Those who are currently playing are already deeply involved. For those who are not, we see the time has come to bring them back.”

Activision is unhappy with Destiny 2 sales

Destiny 2 Forsaken barone uldren Title

A strong September did not help: The release of the Forsaken expansion gave the online shooter a strong boost in digital revenues in September 2018.

The poor performance of Destiny 2 was already indicated: Already during an investors call from Activision in spring 2018, it became apparent that Destiny 2 struggles to convince players and sell well.

In a shareholder communication, it was stated that Destiny 2 was a complete success on consoles in 2017 and had a good PC launch. However, in the following financial report for the first quarter of 2018, Destiny 2 was only mentioned in passing when comparing the performance to other Activision titles, with even Candy Crush being prominently listed there.

Also, the fact that Destiny 2 was already available as a free PS Plus title for PS4 in the fall and is currently being given away on PC was seen by many as an indicator of weak numbers.

Now the publisher Activision confirmed the negative trend.

How Activision plans to boost Destiny sales

This is Activision’s plan: Activision has already answered some of the questions themselves. In response to the poor sales, the publisher has now promised its investors the following:

  • Destiny 2 will receive new content faster
  • New forms of monetization will be introduced

This is intended to boost sales again.

Destiny 2 Forsaken Uldren X1

What does this mean for the players? 

Changes to microtransactions? After long criticism of the Eververse, the in-game shop of Destiny 2, the microtransactions in the game are currently in a state that most fans perceive as fair. Items that can only be purchased with real money are rare. Most items can be earned in-game with some time and effort.

Since Activision has now announced new forms of monetization, the question arises as to what these will look like. Obvious are further or new forms of microtransactions. Fans probably have no choice but to wait. Because there has been no concrete information from Bungie or Activision on this yet.

Whether the recently introduced Eververse feature Temporal Wave, which allows players to directly purchase cosmetic items from past seasons, already embodies one of these new models, is also unknown.

D2_Forsaken_Cayde6_03

Will Destiny 2 change again? There is also the question of whether Bungie can actually satisfy all players – both hardcore fans and casuals – equally, and how the game will be oriented in the future. Because Destiny 2 was primarily geared towards a broad audience of players at launch. It seems this was the wrong strategy.

Forsaken has addressed almost all of the core problems of the base game and made it more attractive again for core players. However, this reorientation apparently was not enough to sell enough units and satisfy Activision with rising numbers.

Will the game change again as a result? And if so, how?

Pokémon GO: These baby Pokémon now hatch from 7-KM eggs

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

The 7-KM Eggs in Pokémon GO have received new Pokémon! Several baby Pokémon can now hatch from the eggs.

In the Pokémon GO community, 7-KM Eggs have been unpopular so far. Except for one event exception, you could only hatch Alolan Pokémon. Additionally, the amount of Stardust was the same as from 5-KM Eggs.

Now it is more worthwhile to hatch the 7-KM Eggs. With Pichu, Magby, Isso, and Togepi, there are now four baby Pokémon as potential catches in the eggs.

We will tell you why these Pokémon are important to hatch and give you insight into the community’s opinions.

Why do you need baby Pokémon?

Baby Pokémon can only be obtained from eggs. Therefore, they are even rarer to find. With the 7-KM Eggs, players now have a greater chance of getting the babies.

Pokémon GO Baby

Babies can be Shiny: Previously, the Shiny versions of baby Pokémon were very rare. When you hatched a baby, it was mostly a Normal type. Now, the baby Pokémon are common in the 7-KM Eggs. The more you hatch, the faster you can encounter a Shiny.

How to get 7-KM Eggs: You do not get 7-KM Eggs from PokéStops, but only from gifts. When you open a friend’s gift, make sure you have a free spot in your egg list. Only then might a gift drop a 7-KM Egg.

What are the chances of baby Pokémon?

There are no exact values for the probabilities yet, as too few 7-KM Eggs have been hatched so far. However, it can be noted that baby Pokémon hatch very frequently from the new eggs.

7 km Egg List Pokémon GO

High probability: The YouTuber “TrainerTips” put the 7-KM Eggs to the test. He hatched eight of the 7-KM Eggs and got six babies and two Alolan Pokémon. Many players also reported high probabilities on Reddit.

How likely is a Shiny Baby: TheSilphRoad wrote several months ago about the probability of shiny baby Pokémon. They concluded that about every 50th baby Pokémon is Shiny.

If we convert this now, we can conclude that you need to hatch about 70-80 7-KM Eggs to get a Shiny baby Pokémon. This is just the pure theory and you also need some luck.

How the community reacts

The new 7-KM Eggs were also hotly debated in the community. Many players came to the conclusion that the probability of baby Pokémon in the 7-KM Eggs is definitely high.

Reddit user “iSpanD_” shared a picture of his last nine 7-KM Eggs and wrote, “I got six babies from nine 7-KM Eggs.”

User “Bozlee2u” responded and wrote, “I got four babies from seven eggs. The probability seems to be really increased!”

What is your yield? Have you also gotten more baby Pokémon?

New record – 8.3 million played Fortnite when the cube exploded

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The game Fortnite has set a massive player record. When the cube exploded on Sunday, 8.3 million people were playing Fortnite simultaneously on all platforms. That’s more than double the previous record.

What a number is that? The 8.3 million is the number of concurrent active players in Fortnite at a specific time. That is the number of “concurrent users.”

Where does this number come from? It comes from an interview with the head of Epic Games Korea, Sung Chul Park, with the Korean site Inven. He gave the interview at the launch of the Korean version of Fortnite.

Fortnite is now launching in Korea after PUBG dropped its copyright infringement lawsuit.

The number of 8.3 million concurrent players in Fortnite has now also been confirmed by Epic to Western media.

Fortnite-Oh title

The cube event had as many viewers as Austria has inhabitants

That’s why 8.3 million is so enormous: 8.3 million people is approximately the population of Austria. That may not seem so large for a global game like Fortnite, which runs on so many platforms. But the number is huge for a video game.

For comparison:

  • Fortnite’s last record was 3.4 million concurrent players in February 2018. Back then, the servers collapsed under the load. There were prolonged outages.
  • Before that, PUBG with 3.2 million players in January 2018 was still a massive number.

Clearly, Fortnite has reached new dimensions here.

von Robert Albrecht

That’s why so many were watching: The number comes from the big “cube event.” Epic Games announced it long in advance. It was a one-time event that only lasted for a few minutes and required being on-site, in the game.

The Space Cube was present in Fortnite for over two seasons and regularly made headlines. Recently, it unleashed zombie-like creatures on the players of Fortnite.

Did the servers handle it? No, the event was too much for the Fortnite servers. After a cutscene played, Fortnite was still running for a few minutes, but then the game crashed on some platforms.

After the collapse of the Fortnite servers, numbers on Twitch rose to 1.5 million viewers.

Fortnite is currently “big in Korea”

Chris-Pratt-Fortnite

Big launch in Korea: Currently, Epic has focused its attention on South Korea. For the entry into the eSports-crazy country, Epic is coming up with special things:

  • There are special challenges for South Koreans
  • a dedicated building in the game, a PC internet café, is dedicated to South Korea
  • and Hollywood star Chris Pratt (Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy) is the brand ambassador

What 8.3 million saw: You can follow the cutscene and the cube event here:

Das solltet Ihr in Destiny 2 noch erledigen, bevor Season 4 endet

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the fourth season is slowly coming to an end. There is only a little time left to complete some seasonal objectives. We show you which activities you should hurry with.

The release of the Forsaken expansion marked the start of the fourth season of Destiny 2 in September 2018. But when exactly it ends was previously unknown. Now Bungie has made a concrete statement about it.

When does Season 4 end? The fourth season, the season of the Outlaw, will end on November 27, 2018 – just over two weeks from now. The studio announced this in their current “This Week at Bungie” blog. Presumably, the season of the Forge will begin immediately afterward. However, more detailed information is still pending.

Destiny Titan Iron Banner

Why is this important? For players, this means they have only a few weeks left to complete specific objectives that are specifically linked to Season 4 or generally with the seasons. You should hurry in the following areas:

Iron Banner

Here’s what to watch out for in the Iron Banner: The end of the current season has two significant consequences for the Iron Banner:

  • The Iron Banner armor from Season 4 will be removed from the loot pool
  • Some Iron Banner Triumphs associated with Season 4 will no longer be fulfillable

So when Lord Saladin and the Iron Banner return for the last time in Season 4 on November 13, you should take this last chance to complete missing armor pieces from the Iron Banner and complete the corresponding Triumphs.

By the way: The Iron Banner weapons from Season 4 will also remain available beyond the end of this season.

destiny-3-lunas-howling

Weapon Quests in the Crucible

This is why the end of the season is important for these quests: Many players are still hunting the special weapons Luna’s Howl, Not Forgotten, and Redrix’s Claymore, which are exclusively available through lengthy quests in the Crucible. Here too, you should hurry.

While the quests for Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten remain available year-round, the required Crucible ranks are tied to progress within a season and will be reset at the end of Season 4. So if you haven’t completed the necessary rank milestones by season’s end, they could be lost.

The following steps are not season-dependent: The remaining quest steps are not affected by the end of the season. So if you are still working on completing Rumble matches or getting precision kills for the quests – all this progress will remain with you even after the current season ends.

Destiny 2 selfie emote

Triumphs

These are the Triumphs you should still complete: There are also some Triumphs that are tied to seasonal conditions. Although these do not require a specific score, you should still complete them by November 27 if you are a collector and want to have them all.

This includes, for example, the seasonal rank in the Vanguard. But even if you are currently working on climbing to the Famous and Legendary ranks in the Crucible, you should hurry.

Because the seasonal Glory and Valor ranks in the Crucible are season-dependent as well. If you do not reach the desired rank by November 27, you will be reset to the Guardian rank at the start of Season 5 and will have to climb the rank ladder in PvP anew.

Have you already collected all the seasonal Triumphs? Or do you need to hustle in the last weeks of Season 4?

The Hunter Group Skin has landed in Fortnite – This is the Special Thing

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the secret skin from the Hunt Group Challenge is finally in the game. Surprisingly, it is a robot named AIM. It has actually landed in the game and is fueling speculation about the further story.

What is the new skin? Those who have diligently completed all challenges in Season 6 can unlock the secret skin of the Hunt Group Challenge today, with Week 7. However, the new skin is not another monster hunter and not a horror figure.

Rather, it is a martial robot named AIM. Furthermore, it seems the robot has jumped directly into the game world.

Here you can find AIM’s landing spot

Parachute on the toilet factory: Unlike the relatively unremarkable executioner from Season 5, AIM is better integrated into the lore of Fortnite. Because the robot seems to have landed directly on the map.

fn-fallschirm-aim

You can easily see this if you check on the roof of the factory at Flush Factory. There is a parachute hanging from a chimney, fluttering in the wind. The symbols on the parachute match the insignia on AIM’s chassis.

Hint about an airplane? Additionally, some players report that they may have heard a noise reminiscent of a passing airplane today. Shortly thereafter, they noticed the parachute.

It seems to be the suspected airplane in the game.

Data mining leaks have already reported such a mysterious new vehicle. However, it seems to have been the sound file for the robot and not a new vehicle that one can control.

Will robots and science fiction be the new theme?

Since the robot does not fit at all with the monster, mystery, and Halloween theme of the last weeks, many fans speculate that the next story will revolve around robots and science fiction themes.

fn-woche7-s6-battlestar-fundort

The cube seems to be history now, after it was constantly present for almost two seasons. So it is time for something new. So why not killer robots?

Robo-Christmas? Why not! Perhaps all of this will mix with the theme of Season 7, which will be holiday-themed according to previous speculation. So robots and Christmas? Stranger things have happened in Fortnite.

Pokémon GO: 70-year-old is half human, half Pokémon robot

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

With his professional gameplay in Pokémon GO, this grandpa has already made a name for himself. Now he has also acquired a fancy hip holder for his 15 smartphones and is becoming a Pokémon cyborg.

You may have heard of Chen San-yuan, as he made headlines in the summer of 2018. At that time, he rode his bicycle through Taiwan, attaching his smartphones to the bike. Now he is taking his playstyle to the next level and is giving up his bicycle.

The holder on his hip: He attaches his smartphones with a robot-like construct directly to his hip. He no longer needs a bicycle.

The probably coolest Pokémon grandpa in the world

This is the Pokémon grandpa: Chen San-yuan is 70 years old and has a passion for Pokémon GO. He plays simultaneously on 15 smartphones. For this, he has a backpack equipped with valuable power banks so that he doesn’t run out of juice on the go.

Pokémon GO Grandpa

Popular in the community: When we reported on San-yuan in August, there was a lot of positive feedback from the readers.

User Bodicore wrote that he hopes to still be able to be excited about something at such an old age. However, he noted that with the bicycle and 11 smartphones, traffic safety might not be guaranteed.

With the upgrade to the hip attachment, it should also go better in road traffic. Although on the sidewalk, one probably has to make room when the player comes towards you.

His grandson got him into Pokémon GO: In an interview, San-yuan explained that he plays Pokémon GO because of his grandson who showed it to him. Now he spends about $1300 a month for his playstyle. By the way, his favorite Pokémon is Snorlax.

Fortnite: Here you can find the secret star from week 7 (S6)

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is again a hidden star to find in week 7. For that, you need to visit the location of the cube explosion.

The seventh bonus: If you have completed all challenges up to the current week 7, you can not only score the new bonus skin – you will also get the chance to find a bonus star again.

Here is where to find the hidden star

Where do I need to search? Again, you will find the hint in the bonus image that you receive in week 7. There is currently a final battle against the cube taking place. So you need to go to this location by Leaky Lake.

There, on the right edge of the image, a stranded boat can be seen. Those who look closely will recognize a star inside it.

Where is the star? The star can be found directly southwest of the main island in grid square E4. Search there for the stranded boat and if you have completed all challenges so far and collected all previous trophies, you can grab the star.

Black Desert fulfills fans’ tiny but big wish

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 2 minutes

As part of the weekly update, some changes have been made to Black Desert. However, one adjustment stands out in particular. Players can now carry more silver.

Players in Black Desert are dependent on their weight capacity when carrying items. Due to the change in the maximum weight of the currency silver, players can now carry more money or items.

Strong players can carry more

That’s why weight is important: Those who want to organize their inventory in Black Desert must keep track of both the inventory slots and the weight of individual items. Once the carried items exceed a certain value, various restrictions affect the character.

Improving strength in Black Desert

Inventory management is cumbersome: While the weight you carry can be trained by having your character carry trade items around, thus increasing their strength, beyond a certain strength value, the maximum weight capacity only increases slowly.

In addition to training weight capacity with trade items, there are other ways to increase carrying capacity:

  • Certain belts increase carrying capacity
  • There are items in the Pearl Shop that increase weight capacity
  • The pet Polar Bear passively increases carrying capacity. You can obtain the Polar Bear after buying a starter package and then giving the code to a friend. Once they reach level 30, you can choose between 1000 pearls or the icy pet.

Silver now weighs only half as much

Increased carrying capacity for all: For all these ways, you need to take action. They either cost real money in the form of pearls or you need to acquire certain items. However, the reduction of the currency silver’s weight to half of its original value benefits all players, especially allowing new players to carry more in the future.

Black Desert Valencia Update

This also means that the storage maid can now carry 1 million silver instead of 500,000. The storage maid can be placed in your own residence and used as a storage location.

What fans think: Fans are reacting quite positively to the reduction of silver weight. Along with the weight reduction of gold bars, an alternative way to store silver, it has become easier for players to manage their inventory.

Finally, there have been issues with private servers in Black Desert. Black Desert mimics WoW and takes action against private servers.
