The films of Star Wars contain several errors that probably go unnoticed during the first viewing. However, upon closer inspection, these blunders are hard to miss. We show you 10 of the biggest ones.
Star Wars is a film series loved by viewers from all over the world. But as well-made as most of the franchises are, some film errors have slipped in nonetheless.
For this list, we take a look at 10 blunders from the nine main Star Wars films. We have ranked them against each other in a separate ranking on MeinMMO.
We show you mistakes that occurred during filming and somehow made it into the final film for unexplained reasons.

Duck your head!
Let’s start with a real classic that some of you may already know. This mistake is so good and funny that we simply couldn’t leave it out. We’re talking about the poor stormtrooper soldier who walks through a door in Episode 4 of the Death Star and hits his head hard.
At first glance, the mishap may go unnoticed because the focus is on the stormtrooper who is leading the way. The scene, which you can watch on YouTube, is also funny because the situation is actually quite serious. After all, the soldiers are looking for Luke, Han, and Leia and want to stop them. In the heat of the moment, one of the stormtrooper actors bumped his head, and no one seems to have noticed. Good thing he was wearing a sturdy helmet.

The SciFi MMO Star Citizen has broken the next historic crowdfunding milestone, having raised about 10 million US dollars alone in March 2025. A final release is still not in sight.
What is this milestone? On December 2, 2024, MeinMMO reported that the current revenue status from supporters of Star Citizen was at 758 million US dollars. Now, four months later, it has reached 800 million US dollars – as of April 3, 2025, at 8:40 AM, exactly 800,300,803 US dollars have been raised (via robertsspaceindustries.com).
What is remarkable is not just the figure itself, but also the fact that the project leaders can still enjoy strong payments even 14 years after the start of development. In March 2025 alone, supporters are said to have invested about 10 million US dollars in Star Citizen (via nosygamer.blogspot.com).
Since Cloud Imperium Games was founded, there has reportedly never been a month with 10 million US dollars in revenue from cash shop sales.
In total, about 25.5 million US dollars were raised in the first quarter of 2025, which represents an increase of 47 percent compared to the first quarter of 2024.
The crowdfunding revenues do not yet include earnings from other sources like subscriptions or investors. According to a financial report by the developers (via cloudimperiumgames.com), these additional sources are estimated to have generated about 157 million US dollars by 2022.
In total, Star Citizen has therefore had at least 957 million US dollars available so far, plus the revenues from subscriptions, investors, and such that have made their way into the coffers after 2022.

Star Citizen: New Trailer Introduces the 3 Factions from the Event ‘Fight for Pyro’
“Pyramid scheme or cult”
How does the community react to this? On Reddit, the new milestone is being discussed heatedly.
No_Summer4551 critically reflects on Reddit: “Pyramid scheme or cult. I don’t believe Chris [Roberts, the studio head – editor’s note] originally intended to scam anyone. But there’s a reason he has had issues with so many projects: he is excessively ambitious, and once the machine was running, he didn’t want to stop.”
Vahn84 writes on Reddit: “I supported it in 2017 and the game still plays worse than 99% of the early access games I’ve played in my life. Some people enjoy playing tech demos… I respect that. But the game is objectively bad because, after all these years, it is still not a game. I defended Star Citizen until I couldn’t anymore. They improved it. But time passes, and looking at the status of the game from the outside is just ironically sad right now.”
gears19925 defends the project on Reddit: “To build a studio from scratch. To develop 2 games, a proprietary engine, and a new form of seamless network transition that no game has achieved before. And all while providing the community with consistent, somewhat current news, which they often fail to do, but they try.”
Where does Star Citizen currently stand? With Alpha update 4.0, a significant tech milestone for the SciFi MMO was achieved last year. On March 27, 2025, Alpha update 4.1 was finally released, which included the launcher 2.0, dynamic NPC conversations, new fauna, and much more.
You will still not find a release date in the current version of the roadmap (via robertsspaceindustries.com). The pre-production for the ambitious project began as early as 2010. Actual development started in 2011, back then still in CryEngine 3. In 2012, the announcement and the start of the Kickstarter campaign followed.
Fun fact: Duke Nukem Forever, which became a running gag for its incredibly long development, was also in development for 14 years (from 1997 to 2011).
On the evening of April 4, the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” for Path of Exile 2 began. Beforehand, many players had a lot of anticipation for the launch, but it didn’t go as desired. In addition to technical problems, the updates also faced criticism. The developers are mitigating the damage with a total of 6 hotfixes.
How did the launch of “Dawn of the Hunt” go? “Dawn of the Hunt” was supposed to be the first major expansion for Path of Exile 2 that would excite many players again while bringing long-awaited updates to the ARPG. However, many experienced technical issues at the start of the new season of PoE2.
Crashes, sudden FPS drops, and lags caused frustration right at the start at 9 PM German time. While the developers quickly provided workarounds and eventually released a hotfix to resolve the issue, the first gaming hours of the new season were marked by crashes and problems for many.
For those who were able to play without many crashes, the experience was not much better, as they commented.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new season of Path of Exile 2:

“I’d rather go to work than play this game”
How did it go in the game? The players who could play the ARPG without major technical issues were not exactly more satisfied. The developers from Grinding Gear Games had already announced beforehand that they would perform a complete rebalance. Every skill in the game was supposed to receive new, changed values.
While some sadly had to say goodbye to their OP builds, other players were initially excited about the new meta. However, in the game itself, the ARPG felt little entertaining for many after the update. Cooldowns, damage values, and weapons seemed weak.
The most important element in the game, the combat, just doesn’t feel good for many anymore. Instead of nerfs to the overpowered abilities and a buff to the weaker skills, the overall damage level was flattened.
Complaints about the update are piling up in the community. User FreshmeatOW explains in a thread on Reddit: “I wanted to take a day or two off to play this game. But I canceled my vacation that I had planned. I’d rather go to work than play this game.”
User shnurr214 directly addresses the bosses Mark Roberts and Jonathan Rogers on Reddit: “Mark and Jonathan, you really messed it up. I’m not sure what you expect the average player experience to be, but this is such an incredibly unenjoyable experience. […] I have played ARPG games all my life; this is honestly a slower game than Diablo 1 in its current form.”
Even on Steam, Path of Exile 2 dropped from its 80% positive rating to 72% positive in recent reviews. Just looking at April 5 (as of 11:30 AM), only about 30% of the reviews there are positive. On the release day on Steam, things were better; Path of Exile 2 managed to secure 600 positive reviews directly with the release, while only 200 were negative.
On Steam, users rated the game predominantly negatively one day after the release.
How did it go with the new class? The new Hunter class, which many had returned for, also feels too weak. In a clip on Twitch, streamer ds_lily judges her experience with the new class: “This is the worst leveling experience in an ARPG I’ve ever had.”
Others are also complaining on Reddit about the new Hunter. User bedhanger explains: “It turns out that all the spears in the game are not to scale. They are actually toothpicks,” referring to the low damage of the attacks that can be seen in the streamer’s clip. Player EmeHera adds below: “You might as well call them fishing rods.”
What are the developers doing in the meantime? Since the release of the new season, the development team has been continuously working on the issues. While initially a temporary solution for the technical problems was posted, the developers have now released 6 hotfixes by April 5, 2025 (as of 11:30 AM) that address the problems. Among other things, the new expansion class of the Smith has been repaired, which you can see in our cover image.
Although the skills have not yet been boosted, the developers have weakened the hit points of almost all enemies in the game. This will make the characters feel stronger again. It can be assumed that more patches will come to fix current issues. You can find an overview of all hotfixes on PathofExile.com.
“Dawn of the Hunt” is the first major milestone in the development of Path of Exile 2. The ARPG was actually supposed to leave early access within 12 months. The full release is therefore still due this year. MeinMMO asked the head how things are going: Head of Path of Exile 2 explains how secure the full release in 2025 is

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be released in just a few weeks on PC (Steam, Epic Games), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A new trailer introduces one of the characters from the role-playing game. However, the main topic under the video is the price.
In a new trailer, the developers introduce a member of the expedition that is supposed to put an end to the deadly painter: Sciel is a cheerful and calm person, which seems like a real feat considering the dark, death-filled premise of the game.

The new role-playing game ignores full price
What are fans talking about? Even more than about Sciel’s character, there is discussion under the trailer regarding the price of the game: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 costs only €49.99 at release. Given that Nintendo has raised prices for games on the Switch 2, this is seen as a positive signal by many.
thegoldenwithatie comments under the trailer on YouTube: “Bro, it costs $40 and Mario Kart costs $90” and adds three skull emojis at the end.
It is important to add that the $90 mentioned by thegoldenwithatie refers to the price for physical Switch 2 games. Digital versions cost $80. Additionally, Expedition 33 costs as mentioned $50 (or €) and not $40 – the difference in prices is still noticeable.
TheMrGiannisgr also comments: “This game is worth $40 more than any Mario game will ever be worth over $60. The fact that Nintendo has gone up to $90 shows me that going with the PlayStation 5 was the right decision.”
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be released on April 24, 2025, for the following platforms:
World of Warcraft is most fun when played with friends or a partner. A WoW fan now shares his attempt to get his wife excited about Azeroth. Ultimately, the effort was successful. But at what cost?
How did the player manage to get his wife excited about WoW? On Reddit, windsshi reports that his wife did not grow up with WoW. The MMORPG from Blizzard always seemed “too cartoony, too generic” to her. However, she was eventually convinced to give this World of Warcraft a chance.
The couple first tried WoW Classic. That was a mistake. This version felt too outdated and old for her. Next, they moved on to the modern WoW. She found the new starting area and the regions of Dragonflight “okay”. Still, great enthusiasm did not arise. But then the woman discovered something she hadn’t noticed before.
Another story from the World of Warcraft community:
Start video
Player from WoW achieves something that many have set as a goal – “There should be a title for that”
Morally questionable, but …
What excites the player? Windsshi’s wife randomly saw that one could create a class called Death Knight in WoW. It looked so exciting that she suggested to her husband to start over with a new character. It was the first time she wanted to do something in WoW on her own. Windsshi was happy.
In the starting area of the Death Knights, the woman apparently had a lot of fun completing the local quests and “butchering civilians, destroying their cities, salting their fields.” She even found a rather efficient way to torture multiple prisoners at once.
In the end, windsshi asks the community: “Should I be worried? … Maybe, if she runs out of quests for Death Knights. Does anyone have a suggestion for which expansion we should start once she completes the Death Knight introduction?”
How does the community respond? With over 2,100 upvotes and 250 comments. On the one hand, several WoW players recall how it was for them to introduce their wives to WoW.
breads33 writes on Reddit: “I got my wife into WoW. It’s a really fun and wonderful thing to share with someone you love. Be patient. Be understanding. Don’t coach her too much. […] You can experience exploration and learning through her eyes. Congratulations!”
Otherwise_Temporary5 recalls on Reddit: “Ironically, I got my wife into WoW and now she’s better than me. She’s in a mythic raid team and so on. It all started with a small RPG she played, and I said: If you like that, you’ll probably like WoW too. We’ve had many adventures together.”
Many players also have recommendations for the next content that might be worth it if you like morally questionable Death Knight quests.
nosy_goblin mentions his clear favorite on Reddit: “Legion. The content of the Death Knight class hall is fantastic.”
LinYuXie adds on Reddit: “Either Wrath of the Lich King or Legion. Wrath, if she wants to see the progression of the story for Death Knights and the whole plot surrounding the Lich King. Or Legion, if she wants more class fantasy (the weapon skins are cool too).”
Kalandros-X refers to the Horde (via Reddit): “Just wait until she plays Horde and gets the quest where you destroy a village in Stormsong Valley, she will love it.”
From the beginning, there have been voices in the community that Monster Hunter Wilds is way too easy. With the new update from April 4th, 2025, Capcom has obviously taken this criticism to heart.
By the way, there is a little “Easter egg” in the new Great Site:

So findet ihr das flauschige Huhn in Monster Hunter Wilds
“‘MH:Wilds is too easy’, really? What the hell was that?!”
What challenges are players struggling with? With the Title Update, the notorious final boss Zoh Shia returns with a tough challenge. In a second attempt in the story, you can fight against him again and can also hunt him repeatedly afterwards.
Particularly because of his also new armor, many hunters are currently taking on him. Apparently, the new fight raises the adrenaline level, as there are numerous threads on Reddit where fans exchange views on the difficulty of the fight and share their suffering (via Reddit).
Comprehensive_Age998 writes in his Reddit thread: “Zoh Shia has brought you all back to reality, hasn’t he? Isn’t this exactly what we wanted? 15-20 minutes of fighting. Constant pressure. Sweaty hands. This fight is absolutely phenomenal!”
kingzoro112 expresses his suffering and celebrates simultaneously in his thread on Reddit: “Damn Zoh Shia! I told you all. What happens when you tell Capcom that their MH games are too easy? They drop some ‘Fuck with me and find out’ comments and … oh shit, it feels so good.”
Many other comments echo this sentiment. While many hunters are struggling with the new challenge, they also love it and feel that the “Monster Hunter feeling” is finally returning to Wilds. Many also provide tips on how to overcome the challenge more easily.
Many commentators suggest that it is important to deal with the crystals that Zoh Shia creates. To do this, they must be attacked or shot at with slinger ammo. This way, the monster cannot make them explode, and it would be much easier.
It is also important to bring weapons with the “Dragon” element and ideally attack the parts of the monster that are black. The return of Zoh Shia has been particularly desired by many veterans, as he embodies some challenges from past installments.
But it’s not just Zoh Shia that causes sweaty hands. The Leviathan Mizutsune has entirely newly entered Monster Hunter Wilds and presents a challenge with foam and bubbles that is substantial.

EVE Online: Uprising Expansion – Trailer
What is the game about? EVE Online is a sandbox MMORPG that leads you into a vast, persistent sci-fi galaxy where you determine your path as the pilot of your own spaceship. The game is known for its open PvP systems, large alliances, and ruthless power struggles that often span entire star systems.
Starting in a small ship, you can work your way up, join a corporation, and eventually participate in intergalactic wars. Economy, diplomacy, and warfare are closely intertwined. From trade blockades to targeted sabotage, there’s a lot on offer. Those who specialize in PvP can choose between piracy, bounty hunting, or participating in large fleet battles that can determine the fate of entire regions.
Thanks to the open world, there are no fixed factions; instead, players organize themselves into alliances. This political dynamic regularly leads to some of the biggest PvP battles ever fought in a video game.
What major battles are there in EVE Online? EVE Online is the MMORPG known for some of the largest and most expensive PvP battles in gaming history. Fleets with thousands of players clash in monumental space battles where the fate of entire alliances hangs in the balance.
Such fights often arise from territorial conflicts between powerful player alliances, revolving around strategically important space stations and resources. Warfare requires intense planning, as every destroyed unit is permanently lost, leading to the application of real military strategies (via wiki.eveuniversity.org).
If you’re interested in massive PvP battles with economic and political depth, EVE Online offers the right combat experience. Here, not only firepower counts, but also diplomacy, espionage, and tactical skill are crucial to survive in the endless wars of the universe.

In an interview, Globalization Design Manager Daniel “Tico” Lafuente spoke about the expansion “Wilds of Talandre” from Throne and Liberty and how satisfied Amazon Games is with the number of players.
Since the expansion has been live for a while and received its first updates, this time it was about an evaluation of the player numbers. How satisfied is Amazon Games with “Wilds of Talandre” and the current community size? Tico’s answer:
The players of Throne and Liberty are among the most dedicated players we’ve seen so far. We are very satisfied with the current player numbers overall. The launch of Talandre has brought a significant influx of new and returning players, which was an important goal for this expansion. […]
Since the launch of Talandre, we have seen a noticeable increase in player activity. Playtime has increased. Engagement with the content has risen. The response from our players to Talandre has been impressive. We can’t wait to see how they react to all the content we have planned for the rest of the year.

With around 50,000 concurrent players at peak, however, it was still far from the all-time high at the release of the MMORPG in October 2024 (336,300 concurrent players). And just one month after the expansion launch, the daily peak is back around 34,000 concurrent Steam users – trend declining (via steamdb.info).
Unfortunately, the player numbers for Throne and Liberty on PlayStation and Xbox are not known. However, the Steam numbers only partially reflect the satisfaction that Daniel Lafuente speaks of.
Amazon Games may also be less satisfied with the current user ratings on Steam. Overall, Throne and Liberty has only 68 percent positive reviews, with 61,888 user reviews. In the past 30 days, the figure was even only 65 percent positive ratings.
Many Steam users complain about the Pay2Win elements (the real-money currency is linked to the auction house), unnecessary lockouts for certain content, technical issues, and the high time commitment for repetitive tasks.
Others praise the game’s great graphics, the large-scale battles, the accessibility for new players, and the fun gameplay. Nevertheless, the overall ratings remain mixed. This is still far from being enough for the top 10 MMORPGs with the best ratings on Steam.

The video game series “Devil May Cry” by Capcom, which started in 2001, has received its own series adaptation, which you can watch on Netflix since April 3, 2025. Fans had been waiting for 7 years since the announcement of the anime and are now excited about the adaptation.
What is the anime about? The anime is based on the eponymous Capcom video game series and was produced by Studio Mir. It follows the professional demon hunter Dante, who wants to take revenge for the death of his family. As a dark force threatens to open the gates of hell, he finds himself in the midst of a conflict between humans and demons and is responsible for the fate of both worlds – all with a proper dose of coolness and style.
You can stream the first season of the anime, consisting of eight episodes, on Netflix. So far, it seems to be well-received by both critics and fans.
On IMDb, the anime scores an 8/10, and on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a critics’ score of 98% and an audience score of 80%.
Here you can see the teaser of the anime Devil May Cry on Netflix:

What do the reviews say? On IMDb, some people share their opinions about the adaptation on Netflix:
taru_massey (via IMDb): “There’s something magical about a world you once controlled with a gamepad coming to life in such vibrant, animated details. The animations are absolutely stunning, fluid, and full of character. The energy is relentless yet focused. The creators knew exactly what made the original game so special.”
urikasei (via IMDb): “Some dialogues might be cheesy at times, but the animation itself is solid. I give the film an 8/10 on the scale of ‘Invincible’ to ‘Arcane’, as some CGI shots look strange. But the 2D fights look damn good.”
sicar-08555 (via IMDb): “It is a triumph with style, heart, and respect for the franchise.”
What role does nostalgia play? What many reviews highlight is the effect of the franchise’s nostalgia and the tone of the early 2000s that the anime understands and employs effectively.
zamanktz (via IMDb): “I am a die-hard fan of the original game series. I had no great expectations for the adaptation and watched it purely out of nostalgia, and I was not disappointed. Pure euphoria!”
Twi12 (via IMDb): “The series is absolutely badass, with emotional moments and action sequences that shine with stunning animation and reach a whole new level with the sixth episode, perfectly matching the tone of the series that comes from the game and the culture of the early 2000s.”
Is there also criticism? However, there are indeed fans who feel that the core of the game was missed. In a post on Reddit, some points are mentioned that did not resonate well with some people: among other things, the adaptation of another important character and a narrative that tries to build sympathy towards the demons.

The strategy game Dwarf Fortress is one of the most popular games on Steam. For many players, simulating a dwarf culture provides a unique and special gaming experience. The secret, explains developer Tarn Adams, lies in the dwarvesthemselves.
Because the game gives its players hardly any templates, but allows them to act freely in the world and solve problems. The developers rarely intervene in the game. They trust that players will grow fond of their fortress and the dwarves within it, captivating them with the game.
In 2022, we reported on MeinMMO about an incident in Dwarf Fortress where players developed a completely absurd factory-like method to breed mermaid babies, launching them against walls with catapults and grinding them to bones. In that case, developer Tarn Adams did intervene – otherwise, he usually stays out of things.
But why are players of Dwarf Fortress so fascinated by the dwarves?
Start video
Dwarf Fortress on Steam Announcement Teaser
Dwarf Fortress benefits enormously from the image we have of dwarves
What is the secret? In a conversation with PC Gamer, developer Tarn Adams explains that the dwarves are the secret of Dwarf Fortress.
Because the image of dwarves, shaped by fantasy novels and films, fits perfectly with the NPCs in the game. They do all kinds of things that one would not attribute to or forgive a human or elf.
If a dwarf locks himself in his workshop and decides not to eat or drink until the player finds him that one extremely rare metal to forge a magical artifact, then that is “typical dwarf behavior” and the player accepts it.
If a dwarf walks past an attacking goblin army because he is determined to go fishing, players do not complain about the “stupid AI” but think: That’s just how he is, the dwarf fisherman. He doesn’t care about goblins.
And if a dwarf falls into a murderous rage because his most beloved goblet was stolen – typical dwarf behavior.
Adams states:
Dwarves are allowed to embody bigger emotions. They are allowed to make bigger mistakes. They can be stubborn – they can do anything.
This is how the community reacts to dwarven nature: The community fully embraces this ideal of “dwarvenness”. For them, it feels dwarven to devise a complex plan to redirect magma to bury enemy armies under a flood of hot lava.
Tarn Adams states:
“Dwarven – we see this adjective all the time. Whenever something goes terribly wrong, we say: Oh, yes. That fits a dwarven story. Dwarves have it all: They can be drunk, but also very honorably delusional. All of that exists. Dwarves allow us to explore these different aspects of ourselves. If they were human, we would judge them much more harshly for it.”
For Adams, this also has very practical results: A dwarf acts like an AI NPC. If the AI NPC has thirst at the top of its agenda and it wants a beer, it will do that, even if it endangers its own safety. It might walk through toxic sludge for a beer. No human would likely act that way, and neither would an elf, but a dwarf would:
This is how players express their enthusiasm for dwarves on Steam: The unique role dwarves play on Steam and how much players have embraced them is also evident from the fact that players insisted in February 2024 that “Dwarves” receive their own day on Steam. Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic had teamed up and gotten their way at that time. Because a dwarf always gets what he deserves. For 20 years, two brothers have been working on a fantastically deep game – now coming to Steam because they actually need money

The life simulation inZOI currently excites many fans on Steam. It especially appeals to fans of The Sims who want to see what the new competitor has to offer. The building mode presents players with unprecedented challenges.
What’s the deal with the building mode? A flexible building mode was promised for inZOI, allowing players to place objects without a grid. This has pleased building experts from The Sims, who repeatedly struggle with limitations in the Sims games and therefore have to resort to cheats (via Gamerant.com).
While players can truly express their creativity with the furniture in inZOI, allowing each object to have its own textures and colors, the building mode seems unnecessarily complex for basic building elements like walls and roofs.
Here you can see the trailer for inZOI:
Start video
inZOI: The new trailer for the Early Access of the life simulation on Steam
“It’s unnecessarily complicated”
How do the players rate the building mode? Players have had enough time since the release of the life simulation on March 28 to compare the building mode of inZOI with that of Sims 4. YouTuber “TomTheSimmer” has dedicated a video on YouTube to this task.
In the video, he built a house as similar as possible in inZOI and Sims 4 and timed how long it took from start to finish. He concluded that the two-story building in Sims 4 was built in 40 minutes, while in inZOI it took about 90 minutes. To make the games more comparable, he used only the base game without expansions in Sims 4.
In his experiment, he mainly had difficulties with the walls of the life simulation in inZOI. These simply could not connect due to the different heights. In Sims 4, everything “sticks” together, which simplifies building.
What do the reviews look like? There are also some users on Steam who criticize the building system of inZOI. One of them is user big bungo, who has written a detailed critique specifically about the building mode. He concluded that “the building mode is unnecessarily complicated and should be simplified.”
He criticizes the following points in the review:
Walls do not connect automatically, causing clipping
Individual wall sections cannot be deleted separately
Foundations require a cumbersome detour through rooms
Floor tiles are bulky, not freely formable, and interfere with furniture
The floor is a tile, not real terrain – complicates gardens
Overlap restrictions for windows, furniture, and tiles are too strict
Fences cannot be placed on floor tiles (e.g. grass)
Rooms on different heights cannot be connected or covered
Handrails are visually incorrect – large gap to the floor surface
Only very simple buildings are easily possible – creative builds are frustrating
Many users below the review agree with him and hope that the developers will continue to work on the building mode during the early access on Steam.
In the building mode, inZOI actually aims to surpass The Sims 4, with a variety of textures, colors, and the grid-free building mode allowing creative players to fully express themselves. That experienced builders currently have issues with the mode likely dampens the mood among the target audience. With currently 83 % positive ratings on Steam, the game is received well despite missing features.
If you’re into stylish action and spectacular combos, then the “Devil May Cry” series is just right for you. The latest installment is getting rave reviews on Steam and currently doesn’t cost much.
What kind of game is this? In March 2019, Devil May Cry 5 was released as the latest part of the action series surrounding Dante, the legendary demon hunter. On Steam, the game is offered at its lowest price until April 16 (according to steamdb.info): €7.49 for the Standard Edition.
You can watch a trailer for Devil May Cry 5 here:

Devil May Cry 5: Trailer for the Stylish Action Game
What is the game about? The story takes place several years after the events of part 4 and follows three characters: Dante, Nero, and V. The city of Red Grave City is threatened by a demon invasion, and V hires Dante and Nero to eliminate this danger.
In addition to his mission, Nero also has a personal goal: He is on the hunt for the demon that severed his demonic arm “Devil Bringer.” In its place, he now carries a mechanical prosthesis.
The “Rule of Cool” is Intent Here
Devil May Cry 5 is loved by players on Steam: Out of over 92,000 reviews on Steam, 96% are positive. Many love the game for its outrageous humor and extravagant action. You don’t even have to be an expert to take out the demon spawn in style.
oreoshank describes the game as follows (via Steam): “You press a few buttons. Things explode. The music starts. Suddenly, you’re in the air, pulling off 12-hit combos and taunting before you land again. […] The game wants you to shine.”
Gqdziila finds (via Steam): “A really entertaining game with great game design and features – plus plenty of absurd scenes that make it wonderfully funny and enjoyable.”
Akito Otogame writes (via Steam): “The gameplay? Phenomenal. If you like swords, spectacular combos, and stylish action, this game is made for you.”
However, the focus on combos can also be off-putting for some players. “If I wanted to play a game to learn combos, I would play a fighting game,” writes Derek (via Steam).
Unfortunately, there is no free demo for the game. However, the entry hurdle is at least lower due to the discount. If you buy the game and don’t like it, you can still take advantage of the return policy on Steam.

Which is the best build for Gun Lance? For the Gun Lance, the best build should primarily focus on high damage rather than affinity while you overwhelm the monster with quick thrusts and shots. Elements such as paralysis or explosion are also secondary and should not be prioritized.
Weapon
Righteous W. Bros or alternatively Argenesis (Artian Weapon)
Armor
W.-Vulcan Mask B Blangonga Armor B Dahaad Armguard B W.-Vulcan Waistband B Dahaad Leggings B
Charm
Chain Charm
How to Craft the Best Artian Weapon for the Gun Lance
What do I need for crafting Argenesis? For Argenesis, when crafting, make sure to choose three attack infusions in your materials. The element doesn’t matter in this case. You can experiment freely and choose either paralysis or explosion, as they currently offer the most benefit in combat.
As a secondary weapon, two options for ranged combat are available:
Death Trigger (Heavy Bowgun from Gore Magala)
Rathling Phoenix (Light Bowgun from Rathalos)
What enhancement bonus should I focus on? When enhancing your Artian weapon, the following bonuses are especially important in priority:
Sharpness
Attack
What decorations are important? With decorations, you can be more flexible and choose the following options:
Magazine/Wall-Jwl 3
Guardian/Wall-Jwl 3
Artillery-Jwl III 3
Gun Lance Build: Armors and Decorations
Which armors are important? For our armor selection, we focus on the following equipment and effects:
Armors
W.-Vulcan Mask B
Blangonga Armor B
Dahaad Armguard B
W.-Vulcan Waistband B
Dahaad Leggings B
Chain Charm
This is what the setup with armor for the Gun Lance looks like

Bind Counter I: Temporarily increases attack after recovering from ensnared, frostbite, power struggle, or being pinned down
Vulcan-Odogaron’s Power
Extends the duration of the salvo ability; and attack +3 when the salvo is active.
What decorations should I use? For armor, it mainly focuses on selecting decorations that support your frenzy, affinity, and raw damage. You should equip the following:
Helmet
Counter-Jwl 2
Chest Plate
Raid-Jwl 2
Armguards
Raid-Jwl 2
Leggings
Counter-Jwl 2
Figure-Jwl 1
Armor Shoes
Counter-Jwl 2
How Does the Strength of the Build Unfold?
Always try to start your hunt with a sneaky attack to activate the “Raid-Jwl” and temporarily increase your damage against large monsters. Follow up with a wide attack and a Wyrmstake Full Blast to maximize the salvo effect. It is also important to actively counter attacks from monsters and follow up with a counter-attack to benefit from the “Bind Counter I” effect and receive more raw damage.
Once you have built up your buffs, you just need to react to the monster and either counter attacks or attack with Wyrmstake Full Blast or Burst Fire Combo depending on the situation – that’s how you can deal the most damage. Also, be sure to always maintain the salvo effect; otherwise, you lose the strongest buff of the build.
Season 3 has started in Call of Duty: Warzone and is celebrating the return to Verdansk with a limited-time event. Find and open vaults on the map during the event to receive event rewards.
What are these vaults? In Warzone, you can currently find and open blue vaults as part of the “Return to Verdansk” event. In each zone, you need to find a safe to receive exclusive event rewards. Additionally, each vault has the chance to contain an exclusive event operator skin.

Possible Vault Locations in Verdansk
Where can you find the vaults? In each zone, there are various spots where a vault can be located. At the prison, for example, there are some locations in the courtyard and on the roof between the four towers. At the Gora Dam, there is at least one location in the middle of the dam, and at the Superstore, on the roof of the building and in front of the entrance. At the airport, the roof of the tower is worth a visit.
To give you a rough idea of where you can find vaults, I have marked some possible locations on a map that I either visited myself or discovered during my research.
Look for the vaults especially on roofs and at well-known POIs.
Note: The overview of vault locations is still a work in progress. There may be additional locations for the safes that I have not yet discovered. I will continuously add the missing locations to the overview as soon as I learn about their existence.
If you can also add locations or have tips for the search, feel free to write them in the comments – after all, the event only runs for a few days and we want to help as many players as possible in the search.
These tips might help you: Finally, here are a few short tips that might make your vault search easier:
The “Plunder” mode is great for opening vaults because you can respawn easily if you get eliminated.
As usual, keep an eye on your surroundings – especially nearby roofs. I often encountered campers near the vaults who were watching them.
Consider bringing the HDR so you can take out a camper with their own weapons without having to get close – that just costs time.
Try not to sweat too much over the vaults and only start a match for them. Instead, casually collect them while you’re playing anyway. Otherwise, the search might ruin the fun of returning to Verdansk.
If you want to arm yourself with strong weapons before searching and get your own loadout so you don’t suddenly find yourself with mediocre ground weapons against an opponent, here are some recommendations: CoD Warzone: Meta – The best weapons with loadouts at a glance

Since The Witcher 3, the series has become one of the most well-known in gaming. However, the creators, CD Projekt RED, had a very specific inspiration for the first installment: Gothic, the dark RPG from Germany, which still impresses today with its iconic voice lines.
The Witcher 3 is considered one of the best role-playing games of recent years, and for many, it is the best before Baldur’s Gate 3. Even now, over 9 years after its release, there are still players discovering almost completely unknown content in the game.
For many gamers, the third installment may be the first and perhaps even the only point of contact with a world that is much larger. The underlying books by Andrzej Sapkowski were already published in the early 90s, and there are still new novels. The first Witcher game was released in 2007.
The studio, CD Projekt RED, had already gained experience with video games before. The company translated games into Polish at the time and distributed them in Poland. However, one game from Germany left a particularly strong impression.

A true expert is taking care of the story of The Witcher 4
“Our dream was to take what we know from Gothic”
In 2001, the German studio Piranha Bytes released the first part of Gothic. As the “nameless hero,” you are thrown into a magically sealed mine colony and attempt to make your way through it somehow.
One of Gothic’s biggest unique features at the time was full voice acting. Every dialogue, even conversations happening around you, has its own text lines – and iconic phrases like, “Put the damn weapon away!”
CD Projekt, at the time without the RED, translated Gothic into Polish and engaged well-known actors to meet the quality. With success: Gothic was so well received in Poland that even the German studio co-founder Björn Pankratz was surprised (via YouTube).
In an interview, the studio head of CD Projekt, Adam Badowski, explains that the developers at the time wanted to emulate Gothic with their first own game, The Witcher (via YouTube):
Our dream and goal was to take what we know from Gothic. It is a legendary series, at least for us.
Adam Badowski
Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, who was primarily responsible for creating the quests in The Witcher 3, explains that Gothic 2 is one of his favorite PC games of all time (via TechRadar). Some reasons are the NPCs and the immersive world.
Gothic is smaller than other RPGs, but that’s what makes it better
Compared to the recently released The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall or the later released Morrowind, Gothic does not rely on a huge world full of randomly created interactions. For reference: Daggerfall is 600 times larger than GTA 5 (via GameStar).
Instead, you play in a relatively small area with special locations and follow a fixed story that the game wants to tell. The Chief Designer of The Witcher, Michal Madej, explains in an interview with IGN: “Gothic, although it had open endings, was story-driven. Oblivion had no story at all.”
Gothic is considered a masterpiece by many, robbed me of my youth, and came with revolutionary features for its time, such as:
Full voice acting for all dialogues, including those of the player character – something that The Elder Scrolls still does not have and that not even Baldur’s Gate 3 offers
NPCs who follow a daily routine, with work, leisure, and sleeping places
an AI that “remembers” what you do: if you hit one person, another might be pleased, whose friends may not be
a game world where you can move seamlessly and (almost) without loading screens
In Gothic, you can explore the entire world at any time, but you have to expect to venture into areas that are not meant for your level. The Witcher has already incorporated many of these features in the first installment and has expanded upon them over the years.
To this day, Gothic has a massive fan base in Poland, which often humorously claims that Gothic is the best Polish game ever made. What is certain is that everything around Gothic draws more attention in Poland than here.
A live-action roleplay of Gothic, short LARP, has been taking place in Poland for years and has had over 200 participants at times (via Reddit). A comparable German project is currently struggling to find even 30 participants for it to take place (via WorldOfGothic), while another is planning with 70 players and NPCs (via Facebook).
The first two parts of Gothic are still regarded as the best, and Part 1 is even getting a remake, which is set to be released in 2026 after several delays. Some of the sequels, such as Gothic 3, ArcaniA, the later Risen titles, and Elex, never reached the popularity of the first parts.

What kind of Pokémon is Mega-Ohrdoch? It is the Mega Evolution of Ohrdoch and combines the types Normal and Fairy.
When does Mega-Ohrdoch appear? Mega-Ohrdoch will debut on April 5 in Pokémon GO, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This is its own Raid Day. During this time, it will appear in most gyms, and you will receive a total of 5 free Raid Passes when spinning gyms. You can find all information about the Mega Raid Day with Mega-Ohrdoch here.
We will show you here which counters you should use against Mega-Ohrdoch, which types it is weak against, and how many trainers you need.
Defeat Mega-Ohrdoch in a Raid – Use these counters
Necrozma Dawn Wings with Metal Claw / Steel Beam
(Shadow) Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
Anego with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb
(Mega) Gengar with Shadow Punch and Sludge Bomb
(Shadow) Stalobor with Metal Claw and Iron Head
White Kyurem with Steel Wing and Frost Breath
(Mega) Beedrill with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb

Agoyon with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb
Weaknesses of Mega-Ohrdoch: Mega-Ohrdoch is a Normal-type and Fairy-type Pokémon. Therefore, it is weak against attacks from Steel and Poison types. So use attacks of these types to defeat Mega-Ohrdoch quickly.
Is there a Shiny Mega-Ohrdoch? Yes, since you can catch Shiny Ohrdoch, the Mega version is also available as Shiny. You actually have an increased chance of getting Shiny Ohrdoch if you catch it from a Mega Raid during the Raid Day with Mega-Ohrdoch.
How many trainers against Mega-Ohrdoch? As of now, you will need at least three trainers for Mega-Ohrdoch, but it will still be a tough battle. This only works if you have the right counters. It would be better with more trainers. Definitely remember to use the team play feature. This can increase the damage you deal together.

The first major title update of Monster Hunter Wilds has just gone live a few hours ago, and now the servers are down. What this means for you and when it will be back up, you will find out here.
What is the problem? To play Monster Hunter Wilds in multiplayer and use the online features, you need a connection to the servers. Unfortunately, the servers are currently unreachable and players are encountering the error message “EW_30D43”.
Therefore, you can only play in offline single-player mode now. We will keep you updated on when you can play online with other hunters.
Here is the current status:
Friday, 04.04.2025
3:35 PM
The server maintenance has officially been lifted, as stated in the post via x.com: “The previously reported online connection issues and game outages in Monster Hunter Wilds have now been resolved on all platforms. Thank you for your patience!”
So we will temporarily sign off from the ticker and wish you happy hunting!
3:25 PM
Still no official announcement. However, many players seem to no longer have connection issues. If you can’t get in, just try again after some time.
For many players, the servers seem to be reachable again. Some are hanging out in the lobbies once more. An official announcement is still pending, so the connection could drop at any time.
2:55 PM
The servers still seem to be reachable. Feel free to let us know in the comments if you can get in or if you’re still having issues. There is still no official announcement.
2:40 PM

We will update you as soon as there are any news or at the latest in about 15 minutes.
2:20 PM
Now there has been a report from Capcom about the server down via x.com. It states:
“We are aware of issues with online connectivity in Monster Hunter Wilds across all platforms. We are investigating the cause and working to restore normal functionality.”
The team is working to restore the connection as quickly as possible. We will stay on top of it for you and report back as soon as there is something new.
2:10 PM
So far, there are no reports regarding the server down from Capcom. However, it seems likely that this could be a spontaneous hotfix. We will keep you updated.
1:54 PM
The servers for Monster Hunter Wilds are currently unreachable for unknown reasons. Therefore, you cannot use the online functions and must resort to the offline mode. We will report back to you in about 15 minutes – if there are any news in the meantime, we will update sooner.
A millennial shares that he works three jobs at the same time. He does not feel guilty about it, as his employers could dismiss him at any time.
Our title image is a symbolic image.
The English-language magazine Business Insider spoke with a millennial who reports that he is employed at three jobs simultaneously. With his three jobs, he currently earns $368,000 a year (around €350,000). The individual wished to remain anonymous, but Business Insider verified their authenticity.
He explained that he does not feel guilty about having multiple jobs as long as he performs all three jobs diligently. However, he also mentioned that he does not feel any loyalty towards his employers because he does not believe they would protect him from being dismissed. “They can dismiss you at any time.”

Several people secretly have a second job for better income
He is not the only person secretly working multiple jobs in everyday life. Business Insider reports that the magazine claims to have interviewed more than two dozen people in the USA who all work for multiple jobs.
While there is always a certain risk of getting caught, many of those working two jobs explain that the financial benefits generally outweigh the disadvantages and risks.
The person interviewed by Business Insider also added that he does not have to work more than 40 hours a week on average, even though he has multiple jobs. And he hopes that this will continue to be the case with his third job.
He says that he is fortunate not to have many meetings. Occasionally, he has two meetings scheduled at the same time. In such cases, he uses two headphones simultaneously: AirPods in one ear and over-ear headphones in the other.
With the return of a popular monster in the second major Title Update for Monster Hunter Wilds, the solution to a puzzle that has occupied fans for 16 years is also on the horizon. Because there is one point that distinguishes Wilds from its predecessor Monster Hunter Tri, released in 2009.
Which puzzle will finally be solved? Fans have always been particularly concerned with the name of the monster. Not because it is unknown, but rather because it is not quite clear how to pronounce it. Until now, there has been no official voice-over for the name.
This seems to ignite discussions in the community, which have flared up again with its return (via Reddit). In the summer of 2025, the 2nd Title Update is set to finally see the return of the popular Leviathan and ruler of the seas Lagiacrus. And with it, the hope for a solution to this old puzzle.

“The guild empowers you to hunt this La (mumble, mumble, mumble) to protect this ecosystem!”
What does the community say about this possibility? User swagboyclassman opens their thread on Reddit with the words, “I just realized that with Title Update 2 we’ll finally get an official pronunciation of Lagiacrus! How do you pronounce it? I’m Team Lah-Jya-Crus and I would be heartbroken if I’m wrong.”
Below are numerous comments from users who ask the same question, and others who make a joke out of it:
TheHopeflame jokes: “Just to annoy us: Every character that says it, says it differently.”
themightypetewheeler writes: “The guild empowers you to hunt this La (mumble, mumble, mumble) to protect this ecosystem!”
Hyero mocks: “I pronounce it Lagiacrus.” To which DeusIzanagi replies: “That’s a really strange way to pronounce it… I say Lagiacrus,” and Lenku concludes: “I never thought I would see two incorrect pronunciations for Lagiacrus.” Many other commentators jump on this bandwagon and extend the joke further.
A German comment from Betonmischael states: “The good old Lagillencrust.”
Redemption after 16 years
Why is this puzzle only being solved now? So far, there has been little to no proper voice acting in parts of the Monster Hunter series. Especially the older games came without much voice output and only a few sounds – the majority of conversations had to be read.
So it was in Monster Hunter Tri (2009 / Nintendo Wii) or Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (2013 / Nintendo 3DS). Since then, Lagiacrus has not appeared in a Monster Hunter, which is why the pronunciation of its name remained a mystery – until today.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, the quests around the introductions of monsters are mainly voiced. The likelihood is therefore very high that we will finally receive an official pronunciation of the name “Lagiacrus” this time.
GTA 6 is currently one of the most relevant games in the industry, even though it hasn’t even been released yet. However, a new game on Steam that takes advantage of this hype raises suspicion.
Which game is being talked about? It is the game “Paradise,” developed by the studio Ultra Games. With its graphics and promised gameplay, it apparently aims to compete simultaneously with titles like GTA 6, as well as InZoi.
At first glance, it shines with beautiful graphics and a modern cityscape and promises gameplay that ranges from shootouts to social interactions with NPCs.
Paradise was briefly available in Early Access on Steam on April 2 – but the emphasis is on was.
At the time of writing this article, the game has been made inaccessible again, and its release has been reset to “coming soon.” A strange situation that makes players suspicious.
Here you can see the game’s trailer with which it wants to compete with Paradise:
Start video
Rockstar Games shows GTA 6 for the first time in the trailer
Paradise makes players suspicious
What makes the game so suspicious? The game promises great things that combine various aspects of other major games, but the trailer for Paradise shows that this is meant more literally than it initially appears.
As already reported in an article by GamePro, some players have noticed that content from the trailer has been “stolen” from different games and the UE5 asset store or generated by artificial intelligence. The incorporation and highlight of crypto mechanics in the game, with which you can finance real estate, also comes off as alarming.
Welcome to the city of endless possibilities. Where your dreams come true. Welcome to PARADISE. The most realistic world simulation – powered by AI. (…) Earn money and crypto to build your empire! Live the life, buy properties, businesses, cars, stylish clothes, and more.
The fiasco surrounding the once most desired game on Steam has likely made gamers more suspicious when a new title looks too good to be true. They sense a scam.
Two content creators (JetroYT and Cyber Boi) were already contacted by the game’s creators for partnerships in November 2024. When they became suspicious themselves, one of them used a fake disposable email address, which then became a victim of phishing attempts (via Jeuxvideo).
Ultra Games itself warns on X about fake links that have been circulating. Therefore, it may be that the origin of the phishing is from a completely different source. Nevertheless, the story does not create much more trust in the game.
The proximity to the story surrounding The Day Before cannot be ignored, but whether the players’ fears will prove true is yet to be seen. So far, there are no further news about a release date for Paradise.
