Dragon’s Dogma 2 has ‘The Witcher’ vibes – With new trailer into the launch weekend

In time for the release, there is a launch trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2, which evokes the adventures with Geralt in The Witcher: There are new monsters and an epic story is teased.

What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer is divided into several parts: gameplay scenes and mosaics merging together as if by ghostly hands.

The colorful stained glass pieces tell an epic story of the people’s struggle against monsters, primarily against a large red dragon. The voice-over summons the player character: as the chosen hero, it is now time to take one’s place among the worthy and fulfill one’s destiny.

The gameplay scenes interspersed between the mosaic sequences seem to be a mix of cutscenes and actual gameplay: a character overlooks the land from a bridge, a ruler looks down on his subjects, and a priestess prays before a fire bowl. There are also some combat scenes to see.

Here you can watch the trailer yourself:

Start video
For the launch, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a final trailer

Launch trailer looks almost like The Witcher – Only Geralt is missing

What kind of monsters can be seen? The most prominent creature in the entire trailer is the large red dragon. This one can be seen at the end of the trailer in gameplay, but also as part of the large final mosaic battling the hero.

A Medusa is briefly visible as well. However, in the next frame, another scene is visible, and a player character is thrown by an ogre. Just a few seconds later, said player character is chasing a giant in an ancient-looking loincloth.

In the voice-over, the player character is also referred to as one of the chosen ones with great power and magic. There is even talk of the slayer of monsters. Accordingly, it will presumably be part of your task to slay monster after monster like Geralt of Riva from The Witcher game series.

Who exactly you are in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can test for yourself starting today: The game is now available and playable. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz has checked out the game for you and brought his personal impressions: One feature makes Dragon’s Dogma 2 the ideal role-playing game for those waiting for a new MMORPG

„We are not a studio for DLCs“ – The creators of Baldur’s Gate 3 are done with D&D

Baldur’s Gate 3 was a surprise for many in 2023. However, those hoping for another D&D role-playing game from Larian must brace themselves: there will be no Baldur’s Gate 4.

What does Larian say? Swen Vincke made headlines multiple times last night at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). He used his speaking time for the “Best Narrative” award to address a current crisis in the gaming industry: the rising layoffs.

As if that wasn’t enough, Vincke also announced that there will be no expansion for the role-playing hit Baldur’s Gate 3. There will also be no sequel:

Baldur’s Gate 3 will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will be proud of it forever, but we will not continue it. We will not create new expansions that everyone expects. We will not make a Baldur’s Gate 4 that everyone expects from us. We are moving on. We will move away from D&D and create something new.

Swen Vincke via PC Gamer

Why won’t Baldur’s Gate 3 be continued? As Vincke explains, Larian is simply not a studio that produces DLCs or expansions. They have tried this before and it has always failed, according to the CEO. Instead, they are a “company of big ideas”.

It remains to be seen what big idea Larian will pursue next. Regarding Baldur’s Gate 3, there will likely still be updates and patches. However, what happens beyond that is no longer Larian’s problem: “It’s up to Wizards of the Coast to find someone to carry the torch, as it is their IP. We have done our job […].”

Start video
Middle finger to the AAA industry: Baldur’s Gate 3 was no coincidence

Fans are disappointed, but understanding

How is the community reacting? They are surprisingly accepting of the news. In a Reddit thread, which gathered over 1,000 comments in 13 hours, many fans show understanding for the studio’s decision: after all, D&D is bound to Wizards of the Coast and thus Hasbro:

  • super_alice_won: “I love BG3 and would love to see more of it, but at the same time, I completely understand why a company would want to cut any ties with Wizards of the Coast.” (via Reddit)
  • 1stNow: “I see Larian similarly to FromSoftware, in that the IP is much less important than the studio. Whatever their next project will be, it will certainly be similar to their ‘Original Sin’ games or BG3.” (via Reddit)
  • CertainDerision_33: “Honestly, it makes sense for them. With BG3 being such a big success, it means for Larian that they already have a much larger fanbase for future titles, and it is far more valuable and important for an independent company to develop their own IPs rather than rely on licenses.” (via Reddit)
  • FOXHOUND9000: “… so, did Hasbro screw up and kill the golden goose, or what?” (via Reddit)

Interestingly, despite the disappointment, no one seems to blame Larian for there being no expansions for Baldur’s Gate. Rather, the frustration is directed at Hasbro. The company had laid off 1,100 employees just before Christmas last year – exactly the kind of action Vincke criticized in his acceptance speech.

What do you think about this? Were you hoping for more Baldur’s Gate 3, or can you understand Larian’s decision? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments and discuss with other readers on MeinMMO.

However, Swen Vincke’s statement does not mean that there will be no more games in the D&D universe in the future. Not least inspired by the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Hasbro has already hinted at more titles. A co-op game is already in the works.

So it’s quite possible that one day there will still be a Baldur’s Gate 4, just not from Larian anymore.

Ex-head of the new MMORPG for LoL explains why he left Riot Games

Actually, Greg Street was supposed to develop the new MMORPG in the world of League of Legends . However, in March 2023 he left Riot Games. The LoL MMORPG has now had a restart. Greg Street wishes the team good luck and explains why he is no longer involved.

This is the situation:

  • In December 2020, Riot Games announced that they were developing a new MMORPG in the world of Runeterra. The leading mind for the game was supposed to be Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, who was at the helm during the golden age of World of Warcraft for Blizzard.
  • However, Ghostcrawler left Riot Games in March 2023 to start his own studio and develop his own MMORPG.
  • The head of Riot Games, Marc Merrill, announced on March 20 that they would conduct a restart for the LoL MMORPG and would go “dark” for a few years, meaning they would not talk about the MMORPG while developing it. Greg Street now comments on this.

Greg Street introduced his own MMO Ghost:

Ghostcrawler presents his new development studio in the video

This is what the former head says: On March 20, Greg Street commented on Twitter. He wished the Riot MMO all the best and said: they have a great world and a truly top-notch game. He will definitely play it a lot.

“Two of the reasons I started my own studio: 1) I didn’t want to spend 10 years developing a game. 2) I wanted to develop a game openly and take the players on the journey.”

LoL MMORPG goes dark – Ghostcrawler stays bright

What does he want to do differently? Ghostcrawler hints at how important it is to him that his new MMORPG “Ghost” does not go dark, but stays in the light and develops together with the players.

This also has drawbacks, as a game often does not look good in the early stages of development, as he noted earlier. But an open development corresponds more to the strengths of his studio. No strategy is right or wrong here.

He also knows that too much information during development can tire players. Some just want to hear when the game is done and do not want to hear about every obstacle in development.

What does he say about the length of the project? Street doesn’t seem to be a fan of long production times. He says there is also a significant risk involved. You don’t want to develop a game for the PS4 when the PS6 is just coming out by the time you finally publish it.

Modern engines would significantly accelerate development. But if you expect high-resolution content, that could slow things down again.

His new MMORPG is supposed to come out faster than others

How long does he want to take for his own MMO? He does not give an exact timeframe, but he says: “We will bring it out faster than most big developers.”

He does not understand why the development of a game should take 7 years or longer, unless there are technical issues or poor management. And in his opinion, management is often the problem.

This is what lies behind it: It was not quite clear why Ghostcrawler left Riot Games. Now it is clearer:

  • He does not want to develop in the dark without involving the fans
  • He probably wants a faster schedule than Riot Games desires
  • Apparently, a third reason was that he wanted to return to his home because he lost family members during the Covid pandemic – a generous home office regulation was probably a problem for Riot

However, Ghostcrawler already mentioned this on March 16 – on March 17, his former boss announced the delay of the LoL MMORPG.

“Stop giving me money against my will” – How confused Gronkh was by his first donation on Twitch

The Twitch streamer Gronkh was extremely surprised when he received his first donation in 2015. Especially since he never set up this feature. This excerpt is currently experiencing a revival on TikTok and many viewers are indulging in nostalgic memories.

How did it all begin? Since his beginnings in 2010, Gronkh, one of the most well-known German content creators on YouTube and Twitch, has built a massive and loyal following. Many of his viewers have accompanied him since his first Let’s Plays on YouTube. Others joined his community over time.

The streamer became particularly well known for his engagement with the game Minecraft, for which he produced 1,278 episodes of Let’s Plays over a span of more than 3 years. With an impressive total length of over 21,000 minutes of gameplay, it captivated many viewers.

In 2014, he also began streaming on Twitch and quickly gained a large fanbase there as well. On January 17, 2015, Gronkh experienced an unexpected turning point when he received his first donation.

Here you can learn more about the streamer:

Start video
Gronkh, the man with the voice – Career and life of Germany’s most famous Let’s Player

“I didn’t set that up at all!”, the streamer explained

How did his first donation go? When Gronkh started his stream in January 2015 and told his viewers about his previous recordings for “The Forest”, he had no idea what to expect. In the midst of his stories, he suddenly received his first donation.

“nekkode” donated €1, and Gronkh’s first reaction was a mix of surprise and confusion: “What? How is that even possible? Huh? I didn’t set that up at all!”. He asked the donating viewer in astonishment how they managed to donate since he had neither set up a donation link nor activated the corresponding alerts.

The streamer admitted that he had been asked for a donation link before, but had not cared about it until now. Although he was familiar with the function from other streamers, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with it.

As a fresh Twitch partner, he was still very inexperienced

What did Gronkh know about the function so far? However, his inexperience regarding the topic became particularly evident when a viewer named “Captainsinasparrow” asked him this question: “Does the money go to you, or also to Twitch?”.

Gronkh confessed that he didn’t know exactly how the earnings were distributed. As a freshly minted Twitch partner, he had simply signed the contract without thoroughly reading it, assuming that the terms would be similar to those on YouTube, where there was little room for negotiation.

“I feel so bad,” Gronkh said

Just as Gronkh was about to tell his viewers that he had been thinking about how he wanted to deal with donations, he was interrupted again by a donation. This time, the donation from “LurchLiebe” came in for €1. But instead of continuing his thoughts, he was overwhelmed by a flood of further €1 donations that kept pouring in.

Gronkh had hardly any opportunity to complete a full sentence before he was interrupted again by an alert. In the midst of this flood of donations, he confessed to his viewers that he felt uncomfortable due to the sudden money donations. But then a donation from “Toxinator84” arrived for €150.

The streamer stared in disbelief at the screen and could hardly believe what he saw. “I hope this isn’t serious. I hope this isn’t true, what it says right now. Toxinator84, I hope this isn’t true! I hope this is one of those things that will be refunded in the end,” he explained, while holding his finger in the camera. However, even after this remarkable donation, the monetary contributions did not stop.

https://www.tiktok.com/@thefunclubbb/video/7343972746470214944?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7303524894736844320

Gronkh wants to donate half of the earnings

Given the overwhelming number of donations that kept pouring in, Gronkh increasingly felt overwhelmed. At some point during the stream, he made a decision: he wanted to donate a part of the earnings. He emphasized once again that the donations shouldn’t have been activated at all. Still, he was so overwhelmed by the generosity of his viewers, that he decided to split the donations.

The streamer explained to his viewers that he intended to split the amount 50/50: one half was to be donated, while he wanted to “steal out” the other half to buy new lighting for his setup, as he put it.

Although Gronkh is often referred to as the “old hand” of the German gaming community, he repeatedly proves that his time is not over yet, despite claims to the contrary from critics.

“Mobile gets everything we want on console” – Fans of CoD Warzone are jealous of Warzone Mobile

Some fans of Call of Duty: Warzone are enviously looking at the new mobile version of the battle royale – specifically, there is one detail that they have long wanted.

What is Warzone Mobile?

However, Warzone Mobile also has two details that some fans of the regular Warzone for PC and console are now envious of.

Here you can see the launch trailer for Warzone Mobile:

Start video
Activision presents CoD: Warzone Mobile in the launch trailer

Mobile has more players and the community’s favorite map

Why are CoD fans envious of Warzone Mobile? In Warzone Mobile, the map “Verdansk” is available right at the game’s release. Verdansk was the map that started Warzone in 2020. However, in December 2021, the map was completely replaced by the “Caldera” map and left Warzone. Since then, many players have wanted Verdansk back in classic Warzone – so far in vain.

Moreover, some Warzone fans have noticed that in Warzone Mobile, you can play with up to 120 players on a map. In the PC and console version of the game, you are only on the battle royale map “Urzikstan” introduced in Season 1 of MW3 and Warzone with 100 players.

Players judge harshly: “Mobile is currently better than console.”

What exactly are players saying? Players are making it clear on social media that they wish Activision would give Warzone on PC or console similar treatment to Warzone Mobile:

  • scoobasteve562 via X: “Mobile has better maps than regular Warzone. And more players than regular Warzone.”
  • andr3w_tx via X: “Mobile gets everything we want on console.”
  • CreatedByEric via X: “120 players for Mobile. 100 players for consoles and PCs. That makes sense.”
  • Dawituchiha via X: “Mobile is currently better than console.”
  • ytchqser via X: “Mobile has everything that PC and console players have been begging for months, but what we get is a new battle rifle.”
  • bLiTz_990 via X: “They [Note from the editor: Activision] want Mobile to succeed compared to console/PC so badly that it’s actually crazy.”

Some Warzone fans are certainly considering whether to play a round or two of Warzone Mobile and compare the title with the console or PC version of the game.

If you also want to check out Warzone Mobile, you can even use your controller. You can find out how on MeinMMO: How to play CoD Warzone Mobile with a controller

How to play CoD Warzone Mobile with a controller

In CoD Warzone Mobile, you play the Battle Royale shooter from Activision, but this time on your mobile phone or tablet. Although the controls are acceptable, many fans prefer to play with a controller. We show you how it’s done.

CoD Warzone Mobile launched on March 21, 2024 and lets you compete against up to 120 players on the maps “Verdansk” and “Rebirth Island”. Despite the touchscreen of mobile devices, fans prefer to face their enemies with a controller, and the good news is that such an option is possible.

Start video
Activision presents CoD: Warzone Mobile in the launch trailer

How do I play CoD: Warzone Mobile with a controller?

Here’s how: To play CoD Warzone Mobile with a controller, you first need a compatible controller that you can connect to your phone or tablet. The connection is handled by the Bluetooth of your device. The following console controllers can be used for this purpose:

  • Xbox Wireless Controller
  • Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
  • PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller
  • PS4 DualShock 4 Controller
  • Backbone One Controller

To connect the PlayStation controller to your phone, you need to press and hold the PlayStation and Share buttons at the same time. This puts your controller into “pairing mode”, and it will then appear on your phone.

For Xbox, you need to press and hold the pairing button, the side button with three arrows, for three seconds until your controller appears in the Bluetooth settings of your phone.

Now you just need to connect your phone or tablet to the controller, and you can immediately start playing with your controller as if you were on the console.

What should I keep in mind? The setting is not permanent and can be changed to touchscreen at any time if the controller bothers you while playing. The good thing is that your device will immediately recognize the controller. So you don’t have to select it separately in the settings.

However, you should adjust some settings such as the fire mode in the settings before starting a match. Otherwise, you might experience a rude awakening and won’t be able to control your soldier as you’d like.

Will you play with a controller or would you prefer the console version of CoD: Warzone? Let us know in the comments!

The new MMORPG ArcheAge 2 is coming for PC, PS5, Xbox – Provides new update on the release

The new MMORPG ArcheAge 2 was supposed to enter beta in 2024: The MMORPG is set to focus on PvE and will be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox. However, the potential timeframe for the planned release has now been postponed.

What was known so far:

  • The publisher Kakao Games intended to make ArcheAge 2 especially appealing to us players in the West in November 2023. Therefore, they are forgoing the typical Mobile port common in South Korea and instead plan to bring the new online role-playing game to PC, Xbox, and PS5.
  • Additionally, the new MMORPG was supposed to offer more content for PvE and story fans than the original ArcheAge. There were talks of dungeons and a campaign mode.
  • PvP was supposed to focus on small groups. For this, they wanted to abandon the large-scale PvP of the predecessor.
Start video
ArcheAge 2 – Trailer

Grand presentation was planned for gamescom 2024

What was known about the release? Kakao’s plan was actually to start a beta in 2024. They wanted to offer us a grand presentation at gamescom 2024 – another sign of the focus on the West, in addition to the console port and PvE emphasis.

A release was then likely planned for 2025.

Release postponed to “After 2025”

What has changed: In a new investor conference, it seems the plans have shifted. ArcheAge 2 is now only marked as “After 2025”.

Thus, this doesn’t quite align with the schedules for presentation and beta start already in 2024.

Now it sounds more like presentations and beta are planned for 2025, with a release at the earliest in 2026. However, more precise details are still lacking.

ArcheAge was part of the last major MMORPG year in the West

What is the history of ArcheAge? The free-to-play MMORPG ArcheAge was released in Europe in the last major MMORPG year, 2014, along with The Elder Scrolls Online and WildStar.

ArcheAge generated huge hype and filled servers at release: The game began with a “land rush”, the fastest players could secure plots of land and build here.

However, a multitude of problems, hacks, cheats, and an intrusive pay-to-win model abruptly ended ArcheAge’s triumph. In the following years, the game still had its fans, but typically could only draw attention from players outside the core community with “Fresh Start” servers for a while.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Start a new game without deleting the save file – We will tell you how to do this on PC

In Dragon’s Dogma 2, it is currently not possible to use multiple save files or playthroughs in parallel. At least not in the official way. However, there is a workaround on PC that you can use to play multiple characters on a Steam account.

What is the problem? In Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can currently only create one save file. This save game is updated through your manual saves and the regular automatic saves. As long as this save file exists, you cannot start a second playthrough.

If you only want to delete the current save file to start a new playthrough, we have already shared how to do that in this article:

More on the topic
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Delete Save Game on Steam, PS5, and Xbox
von Sophia Weiss

With a Trick to a New Save File – Thanks to Community Tips

So what to do if I want to play multiple playthroughs in parallel? This is where MeinMMO reader Erzkanzler has the solution:

You don’t have to DELETE the save file, just rename it, and voila, you can also play two, three, or countless characters. Depending on which save file bears the original name of the file (i.e., win64_save), the corresponding save/character will be loaded by the game at startup.

Erzkanzler on MeinMMO

We tried Erzkanzler’s tip right away on the PC and can confirm: It works! So, as described in our linked guide above, we searched for the folder “2054970” under the Steam folder “userdata” and moved the files in the “win64_save” folder to a safe place.

More on the topic

After that, we started Dragon’s Dogma 2 and were able to begin a fresh playthrough. After creating our second hero, we finished the game, swapped the files in “win64_save” again, and thus gained access to our save file from the first playthrough – only the system settings were reset to default.

The launch trailer of Dragon’s Dogma 2:

For the launch, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a final trailer

Note that Capcom will certainly not officially support such a workaround if any issues arise. After all, the developers have since responded to the criticism – they want to implement a way to start a new game while a game is currently running.

When this feature will come is, however, unclear. Until then, you can pass the time, for example, by unlocking the Illusionist – Here’s how to unlock the Trickster in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Why delete a save game? Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a very large role-playing game that offers you many possibilities. Unfortunately, you can only have one save file at a time. So if you started an initial game to check the performance on your device or to play once, a restart may be desired.

For PC players via Steam, we now have our own trick on how you can restart without deleting a save game:

Once you have deleted the old save file, you can restart the game. You will now be prompted to start a new game.

Ruffy must face numerous villains in One Piece. Some of them have realized over time that perhaps what they are fighting for isn’t that good after all. As a result, they have sided with Ruffy or helped him realize his dream. MeinMMO lists five of these villains.

Which villains have been considered? This list includes all characters who were initially seen as enemies of the Straw Hat Crew. However, over time, they have shown good intentions, which is why they made it onto this list. Therefore, some villains like Buggy the Clown and Kaido do not appear in this article.

What was he like as a villain? Okta is an octopus fishman. He first encounters the Straw Hat Crew when he is still part of Arlong’s gang. He was under the command of the bloodthirsty fishman, who oppressed numerous residents.

When Ruffy and his crew rescued Nami’s home from the clutches of Arlong’s gang, Okta fought Zorro in a sword fight. With his numerous arms, he thought he had the advantage. However, he had to concede defeat to Zorro’s sword skills.

Why could he now be part of the crew? Later in the series, there is a reunion between Okta and the Straw Hat Crew. The fishman regretted his crimes and apologized to the Straw Hat Crew. Ruffy’s crew helped not only him but also his girlfriend Kamy.

Okta would have been a great addition to the Straw Hat Crew. With his arms, he could have been versatile on the ship and could have primarily supported the crew in the water.

Bon Curry

One Piece Bon Curry
He sacrificed himself for Ruffy.

What was he like as a villain? Bon Curry was part of the Baroque Works in the Alabasta Arc. His name there was Mr. 2, and he had the ability to imitate other people’s faces once he touched them. Thanks to this ability, we have one of the most beautiful scenes from One Piece: Ruffy and Co. drew crosses on their arms to recognize each other.

Thanks to his ballet skills, he had toned legs that he used in battle. This led to a duel with Sanji, who also only uses his legs in combat because, as a cook, he cannot injure his hands.

Why could he now be part of the crew? Ruffy and Bon Curry met again during the breakout from Impel Down, the high-security prison. Along with some other villains, they fought their way through the prison floor by floor.

To prove his gratitude, Bon Curry sacrificed himself to allow Ruffy a way out. He transformed into Magellan and ordered that the Gate of Justice be opened for Ruffy to escape. But suddenly the real Magellan appeared, and Bon Curry bravely stayed behind. He would have been a humorous addition to the team.

Players of Red Dead Redemption 2 beg for content crumbs after new update

The cowboy game Red Dead Redemption 2 was for many thousands of gamers the gaming highlight of the last years, until Baldur’s Gate 3 was released. However, the development of the online mode “Red Dead Online” is weaker than hoped. This disappoints and frustrates players of the Wild West epic. Now the new update 1.3.2 has arrived, but players are literally begging Rockstar for content before GTA 6 is released.

What is the status of Red Dead Redemption 2?

  • Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge success for Rockstar at its release in 2018 on PS4 and Xbox One and in 2019 on PC. It received rave reviews (97% on Metacritic) and sold very well.
  • The game was supposed to be developed like GTA 5: it would not receive single-player DLCs but instead offer a growing, vibrant online world: Red Dead Online.
  • But this development never quite worked out for Red Dead Online, and in July 2022 it was said that Rockstar was now focusing on the development of GTA 6.

A new update for RDR2 is coming and brings … bug fixes

This is the latest development: Now on March 19, a new update for Red Dead Redemption 2 has indeed been released, patch 1.32 (via rockstar).

But the update did not bring any new content, only some stability improvements and bug fixes. The update is 1.52 gigabytes in size, as seen in a screenshot.

I just want to shoot cowboys in their houses

This is how players react: In the comments on reddit regarding the new patch, one can see how much players desire new content for their favorite game and how great the interest in Rockstar’s masterpiece still is.

“It’s frustrating to see that they keep the game alive but don’t bring any new online content or stories.”

People are wishing for something, anything from Rockstar, any crumb of content would be fine:

“Please, I just need more horses and a hunting rifle. I would even pay for a DLC crap package if that excites you,” says one user.

Another one complains: “They leave single-player players alone after the release. It’s so annoying. I just want to wear a sweatshirt and shoot cowboys in their houses.”

This is what it’s about: This has been a frustrating situation for Red Dead Redemption 2 for a long time.

Clearly, Rockstar has made the tough business decision to invest their resources in GTA 5 and GTA 6 instead of putting more work hours into Red Dead Redemption 2, even though the game is so much better than many other online games out there that continue to be developed.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is indeed a wonder machine, where you put in a coin and get out five coins on the other end. But GTA 5 and GTA 6 are even better investments, where even more coins drop for every doubloon you put in at the top.

For cowboys, this is very hard to understand. They just want a new horse or to shoot a different cowboy. That can’t be too much to ask for.

New survival game starts in a few days on Steam, could be just right for fans of Palworld

Omega Crafter will launch in a few days with Early Access on Steam. The game impresses with a colorful world and companions that you can program yourself. MeinMMO reveals the details.

What kind of game is this? Omega Crafter is an open-world survival crafting game set in a video game world affected by mysterious glitches. Players are invited to embark on an exciting adventure together with their Grammi companions and other players. The goal is to build a city, defeat powerful bosses, and advance the development of the video game.

You can play Omega Crafter solo or team up with friends in multiplayer mode to face the dangers together.

In the game, you will fight against various monsters and bosses that try to sabotage the game’s development. In the world, you will find a variety of resources, from simple stones and wood to unexplored materials. You can automate your work processes with the help of your Grammis.

Here you can take a look at the launch trailer for Early Access:

Program your own companions

What are Grammis? In Omega Crafter, you have companions called Grammis. Grammis are loyal companions that remind you of the Pals from Palworld. Your Grammis assist you with various tasks to make survival easier:

  • Collecting resources
  • Building
  • and also fighting

Each Grammi can be programmed by you to perform specific tasks. For instance, you could instruct it, according to GamesRadar, to mine a rock until it breaks and then move on to find another resource.

Alternatively, a Grammi could be tasked with harvesting crops, gathering them, and storing them safely. It is possible to combine multiple instructions and save them to have precise control over what the Grammis do.

When will the game be released? Omega Crafter is planned to go into Early Access on March 29, 2024. The game will be available on Steam for PC.

The game is expected to remain in Early Access for at least a year and will be continuously updated during that time to incorporate player feedback. According to the development team Preferred Networks, the full version will be expanded with additional content such as new biomes, equipment, monsters, and boss fights – based on player feedback.

Path of Exile 2 deliberately avoids the success formula of Diablo 4 – Only those who really want to pay will pay

Path of Exile 2 is set to be released this year. Now the Game Director from Grinding Gear Games, Jonathan Rogers, has commented on the monetization of the ARPG.

What does Path of Exile 2 want to do differently than Diablo 4? The Game Director from Grinding Gear Games has now spoken about the monetization of Path of Exile 2. In a conversation with PCGamer, the director was asked whether the developers had considered the business model of Diablo 4 for Path of Exile 2.

Diablo 4 has achieved high revenues through the sale of the game as a full-price title, while Path of Exile 1 is practically free to play.

Jonathan Rogers gave a clear response: Path of Exile 2 will be “just like” Path of Exile 1 regarding monetization. So you will once again be able to experience the game for free, but there will likely be a shop where you can spend money.

You can watch the teaser for the “Necropolis” expansion of Path of Exile here.

Start video
Path of Exile: The teaser for the Necropolis expansion

Path of Exile 2 does not orient itself to Diablo 4

What does the Game Director say about Diablo 4? The Game Director states that Path of Exile 2 will not become an MMO. He does not like MMOs and sees no benefit for his game in that.

I don’t think that shared game space offers a lot of value. There are many theoretical advantages, such as ‘you can meet someone and become friends and have adventures’, and I am sure that sometimes happens, but the vast majority of players do not experience this. I find it a waste of time since most players spend their time in instanced dungeons anyway.

Jonathan Rogers in conversation with PCGamer

What exactly is now the opposite of Diablo 4? Path of Exile wants to convert happy players into paying customers. Those who like the game should spend their money on cosmetic items or inventory space. Those who are not so fond of the game will be able to play through to the end without spending money. In Diablo 4, it is the exact opposite; players pay first and then find out if the game is for them.

If you want to play Path of Exile, you will have to wait a bit longer, as the beta of the game has recently been postponed. You can find out more about it here: Path of Exile 2 postpones the beta, but promises to be of “release quality,” says the director

New update in Destiny 2 is set to bring back some of the best weapons in the history of the loot shooter

The new update “Into the Light” is supposed to bring back some of the most iconic weapons from the history of the loot shooter in Destiny 2. You can find out which ones they are and why they are so good with us.

What kind of update is this? This is the free update “Into the Light,” which is set to launch on April 9. In this update, a new horde mode will appear where Guardians will fight against the Witness’s warriors in the Last City.

Additionally, many weapons that long-time players have at least seen once will be thrown into the loot pool with a new finish. We will show you which iconic weapons you can expect.

Start video
Destiny 2: Season of the Wish – Guardian Games All-Stars Trailer

Four iconic weapons are already known

Which weapons were revealed? Bungie has released key art and a screenshot of the new horde mode in its TWaB. This shows the three fighting classes, which carry a new armor as well as different weapons.

Players have closely examined the images (via reddit.com) and were able to discover the following weapons:

  • Falling Guillotine – A Void Sword with Vortex Housing
  • Midnight Coup – A kinetic hand cannon with a 140 rate of fire
  • Oven – A kinetic pulse rifle with a 450 rate of fire
  • Luna’s Howl – A solar hand cannon with a 140 rate of fire

Why are the weapons iconic? The Falling Guillotine is one of the best legendary swords that can deal excellent damage to regular enemies as well as bosses. Many used the sword to defeat Riven, the raid boss from the “Last Wish” raid.

The Oven was considered the top choice for the kinetic weapon slot during the time of the black armory. The weapon behaved like a Häkke pulse rifle with 4-burst fire but had the stability of a laser. Unfortunately, the weapon fell victim to Sunsetting and can no longer be used in higher difficulties.

Finally, the Midnight Coup and Luna’s Howl come into play. While the Coup was considered an excellent weapon in PvE during the vanilla times of Destiny 2, Luna’s Howl terrorized PvP for several months after its release.

This hand cannon was tied to a tedious quest, in which players had to achieve many kills and a rank in the competitive mode to earn the jewel. However, once the weapon was unlocked, PvP matches were no longer a problem.

Will the weapons be worth it? This is still hard to estimate. For many newcomers, the weapons will surely be interesting to chase, but for long-time fans, grinding for the same weapons is no longer a reason to boot up Destiny 2.

New firearms with unique designs and effects that justify the grind for a Godroll are missing. Newly lacquered weapons do not suffice.

Will you indulge in the weapons or just test the new mode? Let us know in the comments!

Pokémon GO: 4-fold candies in team play? New find gives hope for strong boosts

According to a new discovery in Pokémon GO, you can soon look forward to strong bonuses in Team Play. We will tell you what these bonuses are.

What is Team Play? Team Play is a feature in Pokémon GO where you can play together with your friends. You can form groups of 2 to 4 players and embark on adventures together. While using this feature, you can see each other on the map.

In Team Play, you can complete various challenges together and receive rewards for them. Additionally, you will receive a damage boost on your charged attacks when you are on raids. Here you can find all information about Team Play.

According to a finding by the Pokéminers, shared by a user on Reddit, you can soon look forward to strong boosts when using Team Play.

Start video
Pokémon GO: This is what the new season ‘World full of Wonders’ looks like in the trailer

More Candies and Experience Points, Advantages when Trading

What kind of changes are involved? According to the finding, the number of candies and experience points you receive when catching Pokémon will be significantly increased. We are talking about an increase of up to four times the amount. Also, you are supposed to earn candies twice as fast when you are out with your buddy Pokémon.

Furthermore, when spinning PokéStops with your friends, you will not only receive more experience points but also additional goodies that are not described in detail.

What are the advantages when trading? There are also supposed to be significant changes when trading with your friends who are in Team Play. On one hand, the stardust cost when trading can be reduced – by double or even quadruple the amount. A special trade with a Pokémon you do not yet own could therefore cost only 20,000 or even just 10,000 stardust in the future, instead of 40,000 stardust.

On the other hand, the number of candies you receive when trading Pokémon is also supposed to be increased. We are talking about double or even triple the amount when you are in Team Play.

When and in what form these changes will be implemented in the game remains to be seen. There is currently no official information from Niantic regarding this. So far, these are just discoveries found in the game’s data.

What do you think about these potential new boosts for Team Play? Would you make use of the Team Play feature more often with these changes? Are you using it in its current form? We look forward to your opinions in the comments. If you want to know which events await you in March 2024 in Pokémon GO, you can find an overview with us.

„I calculated it out, okay?“ – Twitch millionaire explains why he preferred to buy new T-shirts rather than wash them

Félix “xQc” Lengyel was the absolute number 1 on Twitch for years. He streamed almost daily and often for many hours at a time. That didn’t leave much time for leisure activities like doing laundry, which is why the streamer quickly stocked up on new T-shirts.

Which streamer are we talking about? Former Overwatch pro Félix “xQc” Lengyel was long the undisputed number 1 on Twitch. Since his million-dollar deal with the rival site Kick, however, he has been splitting his time between the platforms.

On Twitch, the Canadian has since suffered quite a bit. xQc is currently ranked a distant 68th among the most-watched streamers worldwide (via SullyGnome). Nevertheless, his streams still attract tens of thousands of viewers – and they could hardly believe what they heard in a recent stream.

From Overwatch professional to number 1 on Twitch to 100 million $ – Who is xQc?

Better to buy 100 new T-shirts than to do laundry once

What was it with the T-shirts? In a conversation with a friend, xQc admitted to having bought T-shirts in bulk before, so he wouldn’t have to do laundry. He bought 100 new shirts at once and simply kept switching them. However, some of them he ended up wearing for up to a week straight.

While this doesn’t quite compare to his colleague Asmongold, who wears his T-shirts until they practically fall off him, it still raised some eyebrows – but don’t worry, the streamer had a reasoning behind it:

I calculated this, okay, and based on the price of T-shirts and how much time I had to spend on that damn laundry, I thought it would be mathematically cheaper to wear a different T-shirt every day and not wash laundry.

What happened to the T-shirts? Here xQc puts worries to rest: Instead of just throwing away the worn shirts, he of course donated them. However, his buddy is only partially convinced: “Wait a minute, you wore a T-shirt for seven days and then donated it? You probably made someone sick.”

The streamer couldn’t quite understand this accusation: “What, they wash them, don’t they?” You can check out the whole stream clip here – provided you understand xQc.

xQc explains why he doesn’t do his laundry

Does the math work out? This can only be estimated since xQc doesn’t go into the underlying mathematics. However, the streamer seems to assume that the time he would have to spend doing laundry is better invested in streaming.

At his peak in 2022, xQc had between 80,000 and 90,000 subs on Twitch consistently. This means he likely earned over $200,000 a month just from subscriptions. He streamed six times a week for an average of 11 hours a day (via Twitchtracker).

This results in an approximate hourly wage of $725 – with that, you can certainly buy quite a few T-shirts.

By now, however, xQc has come to realize that one can also pay someone else to do laundry for you. He didn’t know that back then.

So one has to give him credit for not simply trading in his smelly mess of a room with rotten chicken for a new one but rather hiring a cleaning crew. However, the content creator seemed to immediately regret this decision when the cleaning staff appeared on stream. The usually loquacious xQc was immediately rendered speechless, so embarrassing was the whole situation:

The new role-playing game that everyone has been waiting for launches with weak reviews on Steam – Capcom promises improvement

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is celebrating its launch today, on March 22, 2024. However, there is no festive mood to speak of. Many players are already leaving negative reviews on Steam on the first day. We summarize what the community criticizes about Capcom’s highly anticipated role-playing game.

What is the current rating of Dragon’s Dogma 2? At the current moment (10:50 AM on March 22, 2024), the user barometer on Steam is balanced – only 40 percent of over 7,100 reviews give a positive rating.

The trend is slightly upward. An hour earlier, the average judgment was even at “Mostly Negative” – with 39 percent positive ratings. The developers at Capcom cannot be satisfied with either judgment.

Attention: The responsible parties at Capcom have now commented on player criticism. The most important points from the post are summarized below.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Steam reviews launch day
This is what the Steam reviews of Dragon’s Dogma 2 looked like early in the morning.

The main criticisms of the players are microtransactions and technology

What do players criticize about Dragon’s Dogma 2? We have already reported on the paid DLCs introduced with the launch. Parts of the community are upset that these were not presented to the public beforehand.

On the other hand, the DLCs also include items like the target crystal for another fast travel point, which are very rarely found in the game but can greatly increase convenience.

The launch trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is here:

For the launch, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a final trailer

Furthermore, the game’s technology is a focus of criticism. We have also written an article about the partially mixed performance of Dragon’s Dogma 2. Players are also frustrated about the AI, faulty assets, or the fact that there is only one save file.

Some users also report crashes. V3nom writes on Steam:

The enjoyment of the game is severely impacted by the constant interruptions. Instead of immersing oneself in a world full of adventures, one finds oneself in a frustrating cycle of restarts and error messages.

What does Capcom say about the criticism? The developers have now commented on Steam regarding the community’s feedback. They apologize for the inconveniences and address the individual points of criticism as follows:

  • Crashes and bugs: All reported issues are being examined and will be fixed with upcoming patches. The developers are prioritizing particularly comprehensive problems first.
  • Only one save file: The developers have heard the request and want to implement a feature to start a new game while still in progress.
  • Paid DLCs: Capcom points out that players can also earn all the items from the DLCs alternatively.
  • Frame rate and performance: They are aware of the issue and are looking for solutions to improve the performance, especially when many characters appear near the player at the same time.

That it can go smoothly is demonstrated by my gaming experience. I, Karsten from MeinMMO, have had no crashes or significant bugs in my nearly 21 hours of gameplay so far. More about my experiences in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be found here:

„This is damn shabby“: Dragon’s Dogma 2 introduces microtransactions at launch – Capcom responds to criticism

Just in time for the launch of one of the most anticipated role-playing games of the year, there’s a letdown for many RPG fans. With the launch of Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom has revealed a series of paid DLCs to the public for the first time. We’ll reveal what the developers want more money for.

What’s the problem? On the night of March 21 to 22, 2024, one of the most anticipated role-playing games of the year, Dragon’s Dogma 2, was released. The price for the fun? On Steam, you will have to invest a smooth 65 Euro for the standard edition and 75 Euro for the deluxe edition.

Further expenditures were not communicated to the public by Capcom representatives ahead of the launch. However, there was a review guide for all testers that broke down the planned DLCs. The information was under embargo until March 20, 2024.

And these DLCs are now visible to all players for the first time with the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Attention! Capcom has now commented on the criticism. You can learn more at the end of the message.

The gameplay of Dragon’s Dogma 2 received much praise in reviews:

What microtransactions are there? For the following DLCs, Capcom wants more money:

  • Explorer’s Camp Equipment – Camp Equipment for 2.99 Euro
  • Sound Collection – Custom Sounds for 2.99 Euro
  • Heart Charm – A thoughtful gift for 1.99 Euro
  • Harpy Luring Smoke Signals – Bait for Harpies for 0.99 Euro
  • Ambiguous Incense – Changes the nature of pawns for 1.99 Euro
  • Fractured Dungeon Key – Escape from the dungeon for 0.99 Euro
  • Art of Metamorphosis – Modify your character for 1.99 Euro
  • 2,500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (A) for 2.99 Euro
  • 1,500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (A) for 2.99 Euro
  • 1,500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (B) for 2.99 Euro
  • 1,500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (C) for 2.99 Euro
  • 1,500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (D) for 2.99 Euro
  • 500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (A) for 0.99 Euro
  • 500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (B) for 0.99 Euro
  • 500 Rift Crystals – To spend beyond the rift (C) for 0.99 Euro
  • Lazarus Stone – Bring the dead back to life (A) for 0.99 Euro
  • Lazarus Stone – Bring the dead back to life (B) for 0.99 Euro
  • Lazarus Stone – Bring the dead back to life (C) for 0.99 Euro
  • Lazarus Stone – Bring the dead back to life (D) for 0.99 Euro
  • Lazarus Stone – Bring the dead back to life (E) for 0.99 Euro
  • Target Crystal – Target marker for fast travel for 2.99 Euro

By the way, Capcom currently wants 15.03 Euro for a bundle that includes many of these items. The bundle is also part of the deluxe edition.

Right to the launch the first shitstorm

How is the community reacting? Many players are showing anger and disappointment. After all, some of the DLCs noticeably increase comfort. Moreover, items like target crystals are very rarely found in the game.

  • Mokadelic writes on Reddit: “Most of the things don’t care about me, but that they put fast travel crystals behind a paywall, that’s pretty shabby.”
  • Killu announces the direct consequence on Steam: “A single-player game where you have to pay for character modifications? Good luck, have fun. Enjoy my refund.”
  • Some players like GxyBrainbuster also note on Reddit: “It was like that in the first part too.”

A look at Steam is enough to see that the majority of the community views this type of communication and monetization critically. Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received “Mostly Negative” ratings from the first 5,500+ reviews – only 39 percent of the reviews so far are positive.

Not a good start for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

What Capcom says about the criticism

In a post on Steam, Capcom representatives have now responded to the criticism of the DLCs (and other areas) – and apologized for all inconveniences. Regarding the microtransactions, they only point out that players can alternatively earn the paid items.

However, the developers do not comment on the fact that many players refer to the sudden, inadequately communicated release of the DLCs in their criticism, nor do they mention that, for example, the large portal crystals are only very rarely available.

How do you evaluate the freshly released DLCs of Dragon’s Dogma 2? Does it hold you back from purchasing now? Let us know in the comments!

By the way, there are more points of criticism for Dragon’s Dogma 2 that are currently causing bad vibes and negative user reviews. You can learn more here:

Destiny 2: Players insult developers on Steam – feel safe, but Bungie targets them

Some players of Destiny 2 have received a permanent ban in the shooter. They thought they could insult a developer in the safety of anonymity. But Bungie tracked them down through Steam and judged them.

This was the situation:

  • During a livestream on March 19, 2024, Bungie presented the new free update “Into the Light”, which was to come to Destiny 2 on April 9.
  • The developer Noah Lee, an activity designer, showed gameplay from the “Onslaught Horde” mode.
  • In the stream, his Steam menu could be seen, and therefore his profile name was recognizable. The name was visible for only a short time, but it was enough for some viewers of the stream to go hard on him.

People Send Hate Messages via Steam

How was the designer attacked? The Destiny 2 developer received hateful and racist messages via Steam. These included messages such as the universally condemned “Kill yourself” – which also became the downfall of a German content creator.

The haters changed their own names on Steam so that they could send the developer hateful messages in the form of their own names.

Haters Also Send Their Steam ID

What didn’t they consider? The guys apparently thought they were safe and that their actions would go unpunished. However, they did not expect that they were also sending their Steam ID directly to Bungie along with the hate messages.

This is what Bungie says: In a statement on Reddit, the team states:

“It was disappointing to see these notifications, but we know they come from a handful of terrible individuals and do not reflect the entire community.

We were able to track down these accounts and have banned several individuals who sent hurtful notifications from Destiny 2.

We are taking additional measures to ensure that this does not happen again and look forward to sharing more information with you all in the next stream.”

Destiny 2 has struggled increasingly with hate in recent years and has drawn hard consequences from it:
