Diablo 4: Player finds one of the rarest items in the content that most ignore

The Mythic Uniques are the rarest items in Diablo 4. You can get them from certain bosses – and with a lot of luck, also outside of them. One player had great luck and received a mythic unique from a content that many ignore.

What are Mythics? The Mythic Uniques were called Uber Uniques until Season 5 in Diablo 4. These are powerful, rare items that make many builds even stronger or exceptionally strong. Mythic Uniques are even rarer than “normal” Uniques. Here you can find an overview of all Mythics.

You have the highest chance of getting a Mythic from the bosses Duriel and Andariel – it is even higher if you fight the bosses in the “Tormented” version at level 200. However, the mythic uniques can also drop outside of that. One player had this luck as he received a mythic ring from a chest in the “Whispering Tree”.

You can also obtain chests in the reputation system in Season 5 of Diablo 4 – even if you have already completed the maximum level there:

Mythic drop from the “Whispering Tree”

What did the player get? In a post on Reddit, “MicRo_Mnager” shows his loot drop, which he apparently received from a chest from the “Whispering Tree”. Among them are several legendaries, boss mats, a compass for the hell hordes, and a mythic ring.

Since there is currently only one Mythic ring, this is the Ring of the Starless Sky, which can be equipped by all classes. The ring increases your resistance to all types of damage, your attack speed, your critical hit chance, your lucky hit chance, and gives you ranks on core skills. It also reduces resource costs and increases your damage.

Which content is often ignored? The bounties for the Whispering Tree allow you to farm gold, mats, and items. However, the bounties are spread across various areas of the map – and are time-limited.

Once you have collected ten points, you also need to teleport to the Whispering Tree to exchange the points for a chest. If you do not exchange them, you will not collect any further points. This back and forth can be time-consuming.

However, with Season 5, another activity was introduced in Diablo 4 that you can farm: the Hell hordes. The more “Burning Ether” you collect during the monster waves there, the more gold, mats, or items you get at the end. You can choose between the rewards and invest your ether only in mats or gold, if you are currently lacking in them. One player exchanged his ether for nearly 150 million gold in a Hell hordes run.

For the amount of gold, you would have to complete some bounties for the Whispering Tree, which would simply take longer than the Hell hordes runs. Also, for the loot, the Hell hordes are generally more worthwhile. There, you can end up opening a chest that drops items with great affixes (1.5x as strong as normal affixes).

Where else do Mythics drop outside of bosses? But other players have also had luck and have randomly dropped Mythic Uniques. One player reported in a post on Reddit that he received the Ring of the Starless Sky from a chest in the Nightmare dungeon.

Also, the “Infinite Reward Chests” of the reputation system in Season 5 are worth it, as another player received a Mythic. In his post on Reddit, he shows the unique “Ahavarion Staff of Lycander” (for Sorcerers and Druids). He writes: “A small reminder! Open these chests regularly to get the great rewards.”

The “Gift of the Mother” reputation system came with Season 5 in Diablo 4 and is a promising way to get loot and mats. With the last level, the grind does not end this time, as you can continue to gather afterwards. You can read more about it here: Diablo 4: Secret change brings more loot for all who like to grind

Instead of hiding a bad review, a gangster film put the rating on the poster – Did you notice it?

For movies and series, reviews are important because apart from the critic’s opinion, a good review can also mean good publicity. Bad reviews, on the other hand, can prevent viewers from going to the cinema. The film Legend creatively used a bad review in a poster instead of hiding it.

What kind of film is Legend? The film is about the twins Reggie and Ronny Kray, who built a crime empire in England in the 1960s. The film is based on the true story of the twins and is a classic biopic, meaning it is a feature film based on a true story.

The special thing about the film is that Tom Hardy plays both twins simultaneously. The film has received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score is 61% (based on 173 reviews) and a user score of 59% (with over 25,000 reviews).

The film did not hide from a bad review, but even included it on a poster with many good ratings – with a clever trick.

The film about Borderlands has very few positive reviews: The film about Borderlands starts with a rating of 0%, breaking negative records on Metacritic

A trailer for the film can be found here:

Legend – Trailer for the mafia film in which Tom Hardy plays two characters

A bad review right on the poster

What can be seen on the poster? Many posters and trailers promote shortly before the release of a film or series with various reviews. Legend did the same. On the poster, you can see the two twins, played by Tom Hardy. In the lower foreground, there is the quote: Essential…. A British classic.

In the upper background, there are several 4-5 star critic ratings. However, if you look at the middle rating from The Guardian, you will notice that it actually only has 2 stars. But this is well hidden on the poster since the 2 stars are positioned between the heads of the two twins. There might be more stars hidden behind their heads. You can see the poster here:

The critic also reacted to the poster. In 2015, Benjamin Lee, the critic who gave the 2-star rating, wrote on The Guardian about the poster. Although he found it a smart idea, he criticized how companies try to re-contextualize quotes and reviews to generate the best publicity.

While my two stars on the poster for Legend were, in my opinion, a fairly clever move, in other cases a careful massage of the truth has often turned into something akin to outright forgery.

Benjamin Lee on the Legend poster (Source: The Guardian)

That was in 2015. Nowadays, film advertising is significantly more prominent on social media. Platforms like TikTok create real hype. For example, a dance video of the evil AI from the horror film M3gan went viral. (via Den of Geek)

The use of negative reviews for Legend also created a small hype on Twitter, as Jim explained in his article. However, there are also anti-hypes. This could be said again about Borderlands. The film is so poorly received that even a German trash director comments: German trash director Uwe Boll looks at the Borderlands film with schadenfreude: “Now you wish I had directed”

If you listen carefully from minute 30, you can discover a reference to a science fiction series in Men in Black

Men in Black is a cult film that depicts an organization dealing with aliens on Earth. The organization also employs aliens. One group of aliens speaks a language that Star Wars fans might find familiar.

What is Men in Black? Men in Black was released in 1997. The action-comedy deals with the conspiracy theory of men in black, who cover up alien projects for the government. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones star in the lead roles.

Men in Black shows that aliens live among us humans, but no one recognizes them. To keep it that way, the Men in Black ensure that no human remembers the aliens and stops the threatening aliens. The film also has many Easter eggs. One of them might have caught the ears of Star Wars fans with good hearing.

Star Wars also has Easter eggs that can be found with a keen eye: Stop your Star Wars Episode at the right moment, and you’ll find a clever Easter egg 

Start video
Men in Black – Trailer for the action comedy about aliens on Earth

Listen closely starting at 00:30:34

What Star Wars reference can be found in the film? In the organization of the Men in Black, not only humans work. The worm-like aliens, who have been there since part 1, also work there. They enjoy many things on Earth, especially coffee. In the first part, Jay, played by Will Smith, meets the group for the first time in the kitchen.

Kay, played by Tommy Lee Jones, shows Jay around and makes a detour into the kitchen. This happens in the Netflix version of the first film around 00:30:34. When Kay enters the kitchen, you can hear the aliens conversing in an unknown language. Those familiar with languages from Star Wars might recognize the language since it is also spoken by Jabba and the other Hutts.

In Star Wars, primarily the Hutts speak Huttese. The language is also spoken on controlled planets like Tatooine. The language has existed since Jabba’s first appearance in Star Wars Episode 5.

Men in Black became a franchise. Men in Black was a successful film that was turned into a franchise. In addition to two sequels, there was also a reboot of the series in 2019 with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in the lead roles. There was also an underrated animated series about the story of Agent Kay and Jay that aired between 1997 and 2000. For Will Smith, Men in Black is one of his most iconic and beloved roles. He almost got the lead role in another cult film, but he chose to be part of a major flop instead: Will Smith talks about one of the worst decisions of his career: ‘Why didn’t you do The Matrix?’

gamescom 2024 opens with Borderlands 4 – Trailer is already better than the movie

The gamescom 2024 kicks off with a bang: Borderlands 4 has been announced. And the trailer was received very well.

The very first trailer of gamescom 2024 is a sensation: Borderlands 4 has been announced. The huge emblem of Lilith tears through the darkness of space. A moon breaks into pieces, comets crash onto the surface, and in a burning crater lies: The mask of a psycho. The hallmark of the Borderlands series.

Right after that the confirmation: The huge lettering announces the title Borderlands 4. So it is officially the next installment of the main series, not a spin-off like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.

Also added was the release window: Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025. The wait won’t be forever.

Teaser trailer announces Borderlands 4

gamescom audience is excited for a good Borderlands

Here’s how the trailer was received: “The audience went wild for Borderlands 4,” writes our editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski live from the ONL. A good sign, after the just-released movie adaptation of the pest control saga was panned by critics and did not resonate well with fans of the series.

You can get a little impression here in the review by MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes.

What ultimately is in the game remains to be seen. The trailer doesn’t reveal much, and no additional information has been released yet.

One thing is clear: Fans can hope for a game that showcases the strengths of the series. While Borderlands 3 was praised for its gameplay, it failed to resonate with many fans in terms of story and characters – a point where Borderlands 2 succeeded far better.

We are definitely excited to see what Borderlands 4 will bring. If you want to dive a little into the series: Here you can find all Borderlands games ranked.

What’s next at gamescom? Borderlands 4 opened the ONL, which in turn opened gamescom. More exciting trailers and announcements are to be expected. In the coming days, the fair in Cologne will take place, where there are plenty of booths to discover. It will be an exciting week for everyone making their way to gamescom. But also for those watching on screen, as more streams are set to happen – for example, the FYNG show from GameStar, GamePro and MeinMMO.

Diablo 4: Blizzard shows your 4 new best friends at gamescom

At the gamescom, there was finally a glimpse of one of the new features from Vessel of Hatred. There was first footage of the Mercenaries. These are new companions who will assist you in fighting against the demon hordes.

What does the new trailer show? In the new reveal trailer for Vessel of Hatred, the Mercenaries are showcased. It was already known that the companions previously seen in Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 would return in the latest DLC.

In the new trailer, you can see the four companions at the beginning in typical Diablo 4 illustrations. For the first time, you also get a glimpse at the abilities of the Mercenaries, and they look pretty good.

Companions with spectacular abilities

What abilities can be seen in the trailer? Naturally, the Mercenaries are not just presented in illustrations. The trailer shows small scenes of the battles.

The “Cursed Child” seems to be able to transform into a demon that fights with powerful fire attacks. Outside of the demon form, you can see the Mercenary create waves of fire that move forward. Shadow skills are also showcased.

The “Shield Bearer” can charge forward with his shield and create a kind of protective field. A shout is shown that draws the opponents’ focus. Like Captain America, the Shield Bearer seems to also be able to throw his shield.

The “Berserker Crone” looks like the typical barbarian companion. She can pull enemies toward her. Powerful hammer actions can be seen in the trailer along with a mighty stomp jump toward an enemy.

The last one in the group is the “Bounty Hunter”, who attacks at range with a bow. You can see the hail of arrows from the hunter and a kind of fire bomb. In the trailer, a ranged attack is shown, which the Mercenary charges up beforehand.

The highlight of gamescom is a new TV series for everyone who loves video games

Not only game trailers delighted the guests of the gamescom ONL: A new series about video games took the audience by storm.

The Opening Night Live of gamescom was characterized by various game trailers, but the presentation of a new series apparently struck a chord with many people in the audience. Applause erupted when Tim Miller, known for the first Deadpool film and the Netflix series Love, Death & Robots, introduced his new project: the series Secret Level.

Clearly emotionally touched, Miller explained that the series is a love letter to the video game world – and that’s also visible in the new trailer.

Secret Level will take place in various video game worlds, or rather, be inspired by them. Here you can see the trailer:

When does Secret Level premiere? The series will launch on December 10, 2024, on Amazon Prime.

What’s in it? In the official description, Secret Level is described as an animated series for adults that will take place in the worlds of popular video games. It is an anthology series, meaning the episodes will not be thematically connected.

Instead, there will be 15 different, new stories in various worlds. The trailer features a variety of well-known characters, such as Kratos from God of War and Mega Man. The official announcement mentions the following games:

  • Armored Core
  • Concord
  • Crossfire

  • Exodus
  • Honor of Kings

After the new trailer of Monster Hunter Wilds, I know it will be my game of the year 2025

The promo for Monster Hunter Wilds is already in full swing and a new trailer was also presented at the gamescom, showing more of the world and two new monsters. For MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes, that’s enough to ensure he is perfectly equipped for 2025.

What can you see in the new trailer? At the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2024, a new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds was naturally shown. This time, there is not only an overview of the 14 weapon types, but also two new monsters again.

We also see a glimpse of the possible hub, which is reminiscent of a popular part of the series on the 3DS. As a big fan of the series, I know after the trailer that I don’t need anything else for 2025 – not even GTA 6.

Monster Hunter Wilds – Trailer shows new area and new monsters

New area and two new monsters

At the beginning of the trailer, a new spider monster with a rose on its back is shown. The monster can emit spores and spins with its own silk to spread the spores. In the trailer, the monster is fought in an area called Scarlet Forest.

After further combat scenes with the new dog monster from previous trailers, you can see the possible hub area. The area is reminiscent of the hub from Monster Hunter 4 and is a desert area with tents. Here you see lively spots and a building that looks like the kitchen.

It will be an exciting week for everyone who is heading to gamescom. But also at home, as there will be more streams – for example the FYNG show by GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO.

You also get to know an Apex Predator that can shoot lightning and uses the horns on its head, which resemble the Gore Magala in design.

In the trailer, you also see how your Palicos set up a camp in the middle of the desert. This again shows that the game takes a more open approach than before, and you will likely be moving in an open world. This was also indicated by reports from journalists who were able to play it.

In the end, there is the typical food porn when you replenish yourself with dishes for the next quest.

I don’t need to see anything else to know that Monster Hunter Wilds will be my game of the year 2025. Although I started late, with Monster Hunter World, I have caught up a lot since then. The last trailer completely convinced me.

Monster Hunter Wilds promises to mix old strengths with innovations, preferably an open world. I love it. The fantasy of a hunter in an open world and the spectacular fight against large monsters is exactly to my taste.

In Monster Hunter Rise, you had less awe for the monsters due to the presentation, but the weather and the new designs, which mix fantastic elements with real creatures, leave me amazed with each new trailer. Unfortunately, there is still no release date.

Enemies are taken down stealthily

In what way does the gameplay resemble Hitman? The reason for the comparison with Hitman lies in the way enemies are sometimes taken down in the campaign. In the style of the bald assassin, players sneak up on their opponents and take them down stealthily from behind, even though the classic outfit change seems to be missing.

The campaign otherwise takes place in America, especially in Washington during the 1990s. At the time of the story, players find themselves in the midst of the presidential elections or in the primary season of Bill Clinton.

The monetization of the free2play game is said to be as fair as in the first part, with an in-game shop for cosmetic offers and conveniences such as more inventory space.

The developers promise a story campaign for part 2 that should keep you on your toes for about 40 to 50 hours. You can expect a significantly revamped combat experience, plenty of freedom in building your builds, and the exciting choice of twelve character classes. In addition, there will be deep equipment and skill systems and a fresh endgame experience.

Never before has your favorite anime looked so good on RTL2 as in the new game of Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero shows a lot of action between different characters in the new trailer at gamescom, who have never fought against each other in the anime.

What can be seen in the new trailer? A new insight into Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the new fighting game of the anime series, was showcased at the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2024. It’s coming on August 11.

In the trailer itself, you’ll see the usual bombastic action and many different characters. The special thing about this trailer is that you don’t see the familiar fights, but rather opponent combinations that have not been seen in the anime.

Dragon Ball is still one of the most popular anime of all time. This is also confirmed by the MeinMMO community: You chose the best afternoon anime on RTL2, and there is a clear winner.

DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO in the trailer

Which characters fight against each other? In the trailer, you see short snippets of fights in quick succession. The combinations of characters are what’s interesting. At the beginning, for example, you see Goku fighting against his father Bardock after the Namek arc. Cell fights against Hit, and you also see Kefla fighting against Goku Black.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is the spiritual successor of the Budokai-Tenkaichi series. Despite the lack of balance, the series is quite popular, as you could seemingly play every character from the Dragon Ball universe. A funny moment in the trailer is the fight between Mister Satan and Weraffen-Vegeta.

Sparking! Zero also promises an incredible number of characters, this time even including characters from Dragon Ball Super. As already seen in the trailer, you can pit opponents who have never met against each other.

In a new mode, you can create your own story battles. Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero aims to go a step further and allow you to create your own story battles based on the “What If” principle. You should also be able to upload these and share them with the community. The Budokai-Tenkaichi series is also known for actions that push your controllers to the limit.

Maintenance on 20.08. – All times for the server down

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtimes. The servers are scheduled to be unavailable today for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

This is the schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 3:00 PM, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
  • At around 3:45 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • At 7:00 PM, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again.
  • The maintenance will continue in the background until 9:00 PM.
This is to be considered during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be connection issues in the game. In addition, there may occasionally be queues upon login because Bungie will gradually allow access to the servers to avoid issues caused by excessive server load. Therefore, you may have to wait longer before you are back in the game.

Also, keep in mind that third-party applications as well as the official Companion App may not be reachable correctly for a while, so you cannot use them.

What changes with the new update in Echos: Act 2

The following issues are known: There are many problems in The Final Shape that players have to complain about. Bungie has some on their list, but it is not known which of them will be fixed (via bungie.net). The following bugs could, however, be addressed:

  • For PC players with activated 3D audio, the audio output in the game does not work.
  • When crafting class-specific exotic glaives, the error code “Weasel” appears.
  • When playing on PlayStation with activated 3D audio, the audio output does not work.
  • The slam attack with the consecration no longer shatters stasis crystals.
  • Heat Wave is not activated when gliding or mid-jump.
  • The diamond lance no longer shatters stasis crystals.
  • The wish bearer title has been revoked from players who previously received it.

Patch Notes for the update on 20.08. in Destiny 2

What is in the patch notes? A complete overview of all fixed issues and improvements will only be available later today or in the afternoon, after the update has gone live.

We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. Because it is possible that the patch notes will be changed or corrected by Bungie afterwards.

These are currently all the information about today’s update. If there are unforeseen changes, we will of course keep you updated. So feel free to check back. Until then, we recommend this article about Destiny 2 on MeinMMO: There are 3 ornaments from Destiny 2 that you probably have never seen before

Participants of the new season 7 vs. Wild already reveals the concept

The participants of the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild have just been announced, and already one of them has spoken out and revealed details about the new concept of the series.

Who reveals the details? Around the same time as the announcement of the participants on the “7 vs. Wild”-YouTube channel, survival expert Joe Vogel uploaded a video. The video is a sort of interview about his expectations for the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild.

In it, he explains not only that he will be participating but also reveals what information the participants had about a week before the suspension.

LetsHugo is also a participant of 7 vs. Wild this year, you can see more about his success here:

This is how the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild will be

In his YouTube video, the participant has already revealed some information that has not yet been publicly confirmed.

How many participants will there be? There will be 7 participants and one substitute participant. The substitute participant is known to the survival expert through some videos but not personally, so it is unlikely to be Fritz Meinecke himself.

How long will the participants be suspended? The suspension period will likely last 14 days. The total time of absence for the participants had previously been estimated by fans to be three weeks. He himself assumes in the video, one week before the suspension, that it will be 14 days.

How will survival work this time? There will be no teams, but rather a “very special game mode,” as the participant confirms again in his video. Hints of this were already offered in the announcement video by Fritz Meinecke, who mentioned that there would be “new game modes.” More precise information, however, is still lacking.

What do we know about the items? The participant also commented on the items. This year, the candidates were only allowed to choose their clothing themselves. Their equipment will be provided to them on-site. He still did not know before the suspension whether there would be more or fewer items depending on the experience level of the participants.

What do we know about the location? To choose the right clothing, the participants were informed of the temperatures. These are said to range between -4 and +20 degrees Celsius. However, they were not told the location of their suspension, nor on which continent it is located.

What about Fritz Meinecke? The founder of the show is hardly mentioned at all in the long interview. He is mentioned a few times, but whether he will appear as a protagonist in this season remains completely unclear.

What is clear is this: He is not among the official participants this year. Even though everything was filmed and designed in secret this year, the seven participants hardly surprised anyone. However, all are now confirmed: 7 vs. Wild Season 4 without Fritz Meinecke – These are the participants of the new season

Among the highlight features of Janthir Wilds is the warclaw mount already known from WvW, which you can earn in adjusted form through the story of the expansion. The creature feels wonderfully mobile with its multiple jumps, can sniff out treasures, and can engage offensively in battles.

Pokémon GO accidentally reveals the title of the new season while announcing an event

The title of the new season in Pokémon GO is known. In an event announcement, the name of the new season was briefly shown.

What is happening in Pokémon GO? A new event called “United Triumph” has been announced, the last major event of the current season. However, in the originally shared infographic, the “Shared Skies” logo of the current season was not shown as usual, but a new one.

This is the season title: As users in a subreddit about Pokémon GO noted, the new season logo was briefly visible. And it shows the name “Max Out”.

In the meantime, Niantic has deleted the post and uploaded the updated graphic online (via X.com). The name was obviously published too early.

The official reveal shouldn’t take too long either, as the start of the new season is scheduled for September 3, 2024. The current season “Heavenly Teamwork” will then come to an end.

What does the name mean? The name and the design of the logo, including clouds and lightning, is the next clear hint at the Dynamax phenomenon. This transforms Pokémon into gigantic forms of themselves. How this will be implemented in Pokémon GO should be clarified by the time the season starts.

There has also been a small video teaser for the new feature:

This is the event: The actual graphic announces the event “United Triumph”. Here, global challenges are the focus. It starts on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 12:00 AM and ends on Saturday, August 31, at 8:59 AM.

The challenges must be solved by all trainers together around the world. If successful, bonuses will be unlocked. The challenges are as follows:

  • Bold Challenge: Defeat 75,000,000 GO Rocket members

Additionally, there will again be a paid, limited-time research available in the shop, as well as showcases with various event Pokémon. This time, however, the main aspect will be the challenges that must be solved together by all trainers. Then it will slowly move towards the new season.

Hotly anticipated strategy game reportedly won’t release even 1 year after announcement – is said to run on the weakest console

Civilization 7 is, for many, the next hope in the turn-based strategy realm. It hasn’t been long since the game was announced, and the release date is reportedly not as far off as a recent leak suggests.

What kind of game will Civilization 7 be? It has been 8 years since Civilization 6 was released on all possible platforms. The game is a turn-based strategy game where you, with various civilizations, attempt to build your civilization while paying attention to resources, other civilizations, and victory conditions.

At the Summer Games Fest 2024, it was finally revealed that a new title in the series is in the works. According to current leaks, the 7th installment of the series will not take long to arrive. The title is expected to be released on major platforms in the spring of 2025. Even the current weakest console, the Nintendo Switch, is expected to receive a port.

If you are looking for an alternative until then, MeinMMO editor Schuhmann recommends Humankind: It was criticized at its release, but now Humankind is a strong strategy game on Steam.

Start video
HUMANKIND – Official Launch Trailer

The game is set to be released for PC and major consoles

What are these leaks about? On x.com, the leaker @billbil_kun, who has proven to be a reliable source in the past, posted new information about Civilization 7.

The leaker mentions February 11, 2025, as the release date. There will supposedly be two versions. Those who purchase the Deluxe Edition will be able to play it as early as February 6. The standard version of the game for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S is expected to cost around €70. The Switch version is supposed to be €10 cheaper.

It remains exciting to see how well the Switch version will perform. Civilization 6 was also released on the Switch, where it ran solidly. However, newer third-party titles on the Switch have shown that the technology is not always perfectly optimized. A good example is Mortal Kombat 1 from 2023. Even the trailer drew criticism back then. On the other hand, the turn-based strategy genre is certainly well-suited for handheld gaming.

How trustworthy are the leaks? In the past, the leaker has proven to be credible several times, consistently getting leaks about prices and release dates right. Civilization 7 was also leaked before its announcement. However, keep in mind that this is just a leak. There is still no confirmed information about the release date or the various editions of Civilization 7.

During gamescom, we may learn more about the release of the strategy game. Civilization 6 is popular among many players. Many spend countless hours in the game: After 21,136 hours with a single game, he judges on Steam: “I think the first 20,000 hours were okay.”

The success of Black Myth: Wukong on Steam is celebrated by the wrong people

The new action-adventure Black Myth: Wukong is a triumph on Steam. But the wrong people are celebrating, believes MeinMMO author Schuhmann.

Who is currently celebrating the success of Black Myth: Wukong?

  • First and foremost, Mark Kern is currently triumphing. He is a game developer who played little role for years after leaving Blizzard and WoW in 2005 and failing as game director of the MMO Firefall. Kern was fired as CEO in 2013. Employees criticized his leadership style.
  • For several years, Kern has been active on Twitter as “Grummz”. In 2016, he became a pioneer for private servers for WoW. In recent years, he has criticized other game developers and the alleged “woke, leftist gaming press”. He complained about the Starfield launcher and called for a boycott of Blizzard due to the Blitzchung affair.
  • Now he presents himself as an advocate for Black Myth: Wukong and celebrates the success of the game on Steam. Kern is often flanked by gaming streamer Asmongold, who responds to his tweets and gives them additional reach.

Kern claims. The western press wanted to ruin the reputation of the studio behind Black Myth: Wukong

This is Mark Kern’s thesis: Kern believes the success of Black Myth: Wukong justifies him. He claims that the “western press” has banded together to sabotage the game in advance because it is not “woke” enough.

As evidence, he cites an IGN article from November 2023, which critically examined the history of the studio Game Science.

Additionally, he pointed out a review from ScreenRant that rated Black Myth: Wukong at 60% and cited a lack of diversity as one of several criticisms. This sparked a wave of hate for Kern on X, formerly Twitter. When the site anonymized the report, Kern rejoiced: Neither the author nor ScreenRant would “stand behind their report.”

Kern now believes: The immense success of Black Myth: Wukong on Steam proves that a game without “political correctness” can be a huge success – despite the western press attempting to tarnish the game.

Kern represents a purely US-centric view that has nothing to do with reality

What speaks against his thesis? On one hand, the “western gaming press” did not attempt to bring down Black Myth: Wukong. The review from Screen Rant was one of 54 reviews listed on Metacritic at the time of the discussion.

Other sites gave scores in the 80s, including IGN itself, which Kern claimed wanted to sabotage the game. To conclude from one voice to “the entire gaming press” is generalizing and reckless.

Additionally, the great success of Black Myth: Wukong on Steam is based on Chinese players, as current numbers show. This has nothing to do with the supposedly “anti-woke sentiment” claimed by Kern. Here, a current debate from the USA is seen as decisive for the global success of a game.

This is a US-centric and false view.

What is his point? Kern says:

  • The studio behind Black Myth: Wukong loves its players and games
  • Western “AAA” studios hate their audience

The success of Black Myth: Wukong is apparently largely based on China

Where does the success of Black Myth: Wukong really come from? According to Google Trends, interest in Black Myth: Wukong in China is 25 times higher than in the USA and 33 times higher than in Germany. The last 7 days were measured.

The breakdown of reviews by languages shows that Black Myth: Wukong (via tgeproductions)

  • received 72,107 reviews in simplified Chinese – with a 97% positive ratio
  • got 2,893 reviews in English – with a 93% positive ratio
  • received 58 reviews in German – with an 84% positive ratio

So yes, Black Myth: Wukong is a great success. However, it has little to do with everything Kern says. The western press as a whole neither attempted to ruin the studio’s reputation, nor does the West have any significant influence on the success of Black Myth: Wukong.

It may be hard for an American to believe, but the USA and its debates are not the center of the world for Black Myth: Wukong. The currently great player numbers of Black Myth: Wukong do not have the causes claimed by Kern.

Kern defines: “If Black Myth: Wukong is successful, then that shows that I am right and the western gaming press is wrong,” without any rational basis for that.

Black Myth: Wukong is a Chinese game that processes one of the most important Chinese themes at all and is a huge success among Chinese players. Forcing the political culture war in the USA into it and framing Black Myth: Wukong as a “victory” for one side creates engagement on Twitter, but the numbers simply do not support it.

What significant influence Chinese players can have on the success of a game on Steam, we saw in another direction in June 2024 with Elden Ring: DLC for Elden Ring apparently has such bad reviews on Steam just because Chinese players are not allowed to cheat

A singer who is not allowed to have a boyfriend accidentally showed her boyfriend – now she will be punished harshly

Members of Japanese bands have strict guidelines regarding relationships that they must adhere to. A Japanese idol has now failed to follow these rules and must post a selfie every evening as punishment.

Note: The title image is merely a symbolic image and does not represent the actual woman of the article.

Who is it about? This is about Momoka Tojo, a member of the band KATACOTO*BANK. The band consists of seven women and was founded in 2021. The songs are exclusively in Japanese and mostly convey a cheerful mood.

Only a month after Momoka Tojo joined the band, she had to defend herself after a mistake.

Japan also plays a role in this video game. In Yakuza Kiwami, it is about the Japanese mafia:

Accidental post causes uproar

What exactly happened? On July 23, 2024, Momoka Tojo celebrated her 20th birthday. Her boyfriend was also present, with whom she took some selfies. When the band member posted information about her upcoming performance, she accidentally uploaded a collage of these selfies as well.

What are the consequences? The idol officially apologized directly on July 27, 2024 on her X account. In the apology, she asked her fans for forgiveness and promised to reflect on her behavior. Such a situation would not happen again and she would work on regaining her fans’ trust.

As punishment, Momoka Tojo must now adhere to two rules:

  • She must maintain a certain distance from her boyfriend.
  • Every evening, she must post a selfie in which she is alone.

Additionally, fans are allowed to express any suspicion of rule violations.

Why is Momoka Tojo’s behavior bad? In Japan, most stars are discouraged from entering into public relationships and keeping their love lives completely secret. The reason for this is that often the image of “purity” and “innocence” is to be maintained.

Moreover, the fan connection is very important, which is why the members should be seen as “available.” Some fans are very passionate and may see a relationship of their favorite idol as a kind of betrayal. Whether these rules apply to every Japanese band is unclear.

The hype around Asian bands has increasingly spilled over into Germany in recent years. A particularly popular genre is K-Pop, that is Korean Pop. Fans of the band BTS can also be very passionate: BTS fans find it totally unfair that LoL stars like Faker are treated better than their favorites

7 vs. Wild Season 4 without Fritz Meinecke – These are the participants of the new season

For a long time, there was silence about the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild. Now it’s known which participants will join the new season.

How were the candidates announced? With one day’s notice, the official Instagram account of 7 vs. Wild announced a YouTube video featuring the participants for 4:00 PM on August 20. However, at 4:00 PM, the YouTube channel was silent.

Shortly after, an announcement followed that the upload of the video would be delayed. At 4:10 PM, however, the video indeed went live on YouTube with all the candidates.

This year, the candidates were not officially nominated but were selected behind the scenes, just like in the first season.

One of the seven participants is the streamer LetsHugo, you can learn more about his success here:

These 7 candidates are participating

Which participants are taking part? The fourth season of 7 vs. Wild will feature seven candidates instead of 14 like last year. These seven participants are:

  • Survival expert Joe Vogel
  • Comedy influencer Selfiesandra
  • Outdoor expert Joey Kelly
  • Twitch streamer LetsHugo
  • Outdoor influencer Stefan from Survival_Deutschland
  • Fitness influencer Flying Uwe
  • YouTuber Julia Beautx

This year, there is no wildcard participant, as in previous years. The candidates are mixed as in the past, ranging from seasoned professionals to complete beginners.

Leading up to the announcement, all of the now revealed candidates were already under discussion. Some candidates were considered more certain by the community than others. However, other potential candidates were also discussed. You can learn more about this here: 7 influencers are currently missing, and fans believe it is due to the new season of 7 vs. Wild

New season without founding father Fritz Meinecke?

When the participants were announced, the founder of the series did not count himself among the participants. He may not be participating this year. However, as further information about the season is still lacking, it is unclear whether he will appear in another role in the series.

It is clear: He is officially not a participant of 7 vs. Wild and hence for the first time in history not taking part. The reasons for this are not yet known, but in the past, there were already many conflicts with the new production company that has acquired the rights to 7 vs. Wild.
