Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the most challenging PvE activities Destiny 2 offers. Some are easier than others. However, some were borderline impossible to complete when they first debuted. With that in mind, we’re going over the top 10 most difficult Grandmaster Nightfalls in Destiny 2 ranked by how challenging they were when they first released.
The 2023 Pokemon World Championships event is now in the books, and on the video game championship front, Japan has plenty of reason to celebrate. Sora Ebisawa (Juniors), Tomoya Ogawa (Seniors), and Shohei Kimura (Masters) successfully defended their home turf, with the Japanese players claiming victory in convincing fashion.
Though the Rapid Strike Style of Urshifu is obviously the staple of the metagame, appearing in all six rosters of the finals, the MVP in the end was likely the diminutive Amoonguss. Armed with the dreaded 100% sleep chance of Spore, the menacing mushroom imposed its will — most notably in the Masters Division, where its infuriating defensive play style had the opponent on the ropes early on.
The statistics for BG3’s opening weekend feature a ton of surprising results, from the top choice of the Half-Elf race to the considerable amount of hours spent in character creation. However, one of the most unexpected outcomes is the data for the most-played Origin individual, which is none other than your favorite Human, Gale.
Although many players have chosen to go with a customized Tav, Gale reigns supreme, with 27,784 users selecting his avatar during the launch. This top spot isn’t the only title the character has gained, as Larian Studios indicates his position as the seventh-highest cause of death.
Many players have gotten lost in BG3’s intricate customization system, spending a considerable amount of hours on their character’s hair, body type, and other attributes. While some users have established a warrior of their own, others have been inspired by the entertainment industry to recreate notable figures within the fantasy universe.
So, now that players have had enough time designing their avatars, we’ll go over our picks of the best pop culture character creations in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Moving Out 2 is the kind of game that I really should enjoy. I loved engaging in the culinary chaos of Overcooked and its sequel with my partner, as annoyed bickering turned into strategic streamlining of our coordinated cooking. At times, Moving Out 2 managed to scratch that itch, but in other levels, we just found it leaned towards being more frustrating than fun.
It’s a fine line that these kinds of games have to walk. The whole appeal of them comes from the clever level designs that push you towards a more chaotic multiplayer affair that’s best experienced with friends and loved ones on the couch next to you. But there’s something about Moving Out’s focus on furniture moving that just didn’t quite jive with me in the same regular cadence that Team 17’s other title did.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to jump into the early access build of Overwatch 2 Season 6 and attend a presentation and interview hosted by the Overwatch devs. Season 6 is titled Invasion, and is the biggest content drop in the history of Overwatch 2, bringing PVE story missions, a brand new Support hero, a new game mode, limited-time game modes, new maps, the Hero Mastery and progression system, and much more to look forward to.
I’ve been a dedicated player of Overwatch for a few years now, and I’ve seen the game through the numerous highs and lows. However, if there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that Season 6 will be a lot of fun, and will have something for all players to enjoy.
Baldur’s Gate 3 fans worldwide were stunned when they woke up on August 10 and saw rumors of a lawsuit against developers Larian Studios. Or at least, that’s what they initially thought. It turns out the whole thing’s been a bit of a hoax, and it’s all thanks to a viral, satirical TikTok.
No, there’s no lawsuit being filed against Baldur’s Gate 3 or its developer, Larian Studios.
For those well-versed in the world of professional wrestling, chances are you’ve seen both the wonder it’s capable of creating and the ugliness that’s left many scarred. With all of the information we have available to us, let alone the fact that there is a multi-season documentary series entitled Dark Side of the Ring, it’s easy to get lost in the darkness. Perhaps the loveliest aspect of WrestleQuest, though, is its dedication to the goofiness of it all.
Players are thrown into the fire almost immediately, training for matches while improving their skills on the microphone. There are countless side quests to occupy one’s time, yet this never stops reminding you what professional wrestling is about. Good battling evil; the babyface looking to defeat the heel.
The world of professional wrestling is always changing. Whether it is a blend of differing styles making their way to the forefront; brand-new promotions surfacing with hopes of providing a reasonable amount of competition; or legendary acts returning for nostalgia’s sake—there is bound to be something for every single fan imaginable.
That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to WrestleQuest, the soon-to-be-released wrestling game that utilizes fantasy RPG elements, courtesy of Skybound Games and Mega Cat Studios.
The Marvel Snap meta is in a pretty healthy place right now, but there’s no denying that control and lockdown decks have been running rampant for the past couple weeks. This week, Second Dinner pushed out a major patch for the game, and it comes with a huge change to Spider-Man, who’s been one of the biggest key pieces in the lockdown archetype.
Here are all the card balance updates and changes for the week:
Fairy Tail has been a significant name in the anime world, renowned for its thrilling story arcs, well-developed characters, and captivating magic systems. Created by Hiro Mashima, the series follows the adventures of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, and their friends in the Fairy Tail guild as they take on various missions and challenges. Let’s dive into the top 10 best story arcs that have captivated audiences around the world.
We’re approaching the 22nd Season of Destiny 2 very soon, so it’s safe to say we have a lot to go off of. With 21 Seasons come and gone, the game has seen many changes and adjustments with them—some good, some great, and some that could have been better. So today, we’re ranking the top 10 Seasons of Destiny 2 from worst to best as of the Lightfall DLC and Season of the Deep.
PSA: While we say “worst to best” in the opening, this only refers to the top 10, as those that make it into the list are all very good and much better than those that don’t.
Dead by Daylight has seen its fair share of collaborations with established horror franchises, and developer Behaviour Interactive has finally announced its newest one. After a previous tease, it was announced today that Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror film series, Alien, would be the next established franchise to cross over with Dead by Daylight.
Fittingly titled Dead by Daylight: Alien, this next expansion’s announcement came alongside a CGI trailer giving players an idea of what they can expect to see when the new content drops. As you’d probably guess, Ellen Ripley serves as the lone new survivor, while the iconic Xenomorph will be the new killer as players get to explore the Nostromo spaceship.
Epic Games have given manga and Fortnite fans another epic (pun intended) crossover to set their sights on, revealing a ‘Break the Curse’ event as part of the a collaboration with Jujutsu Kaisen, coming in the ongoing third season of Chapter 4.
The crossover was revealed previously but, on August 7, Epic unveiled a brand new look at the upcoming event which promises to let players exorcise their curses in truly awesome fashion.
Nintendo has just added two more classic Pokemon games to their NSO libraries. Pokemon Trading Card Game and Pokemon Stadium 2 are now available to play on the online service.
In Pokemon Trading Card Game, which was originally on Game Boy Color, you search for legendary cards while battling trainers. It’s basically a video game version of the tabletop card game.
Today during the Pokemon Presents showcase, we got a much more in-depth look at the upcoming DLC expansion for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC is split into two parts, both of which will be released this year.
The first part of the DLC, the Teal Mask, will release on September 13. Players will go on a school trip to the land of Kitakami. This is a base of a mountain outside of the region of Paldea. New characters, such as students Kieran and Carmine and the teacher Briar, will accompany the player.
Because Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 is such a detailed and intricate title, players have barely started to uncover all the secrets it holds. There’s bound to be easter eggs galore, many of which will be a delightful treat for the Dungeons and Dragons players among its community.
It’s fair to say one uncovered easter egg is not from that category, fitting into the meta and downright bizarre category instead.
Baldur’s Gate 3, since its PC launch on August 3, has been captivating players with it’s wealth of customization options, huge expansive regions to explore and blood-soaked missions to complete. There’s hours and hours of Dungeons and Dragons-esque fun to immerse yourself into. While that’s how most will see it, one player has ignored the sublime for the ridiculous, naming their character in order to set up one line.
On August 8, one Baldur’s Gate 3 player ascended through the subreddit rapidly, all because they gave their in-game character the name Groot.
It’s Monday. Life is overwhelming. Every day feels the same as the last, and you find yourself floating along on the wave of life, barely able to thrive because all you’re focused on is trying to survive. Desperately, you could use any kind of pick-me-up; anything to boost your mood and distract you from the existential dread you find yourself faced with on a regular basis.
Sometimes, a good laugh is what you need when the stress of Monday has kicked you to the ground so hard that your only other option is a 30-minute cry in the shower. So let’s do that, and turn some of those tears into cheers. Here are 10 video game memes that hopefully make your Monday a little brighter:
Activision have officially unveiled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as the annual instalment coming in fall of 2023. It had long been rumored as the upcoming title; a successor to 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 that originally began as a premium expansion.
However, it’s now confirmed as a full release, developed by Sledgehammer Games and set for release later this year. While the news won’t surprise fans who’ve not been living under the proverbial rock, they also confirmed a release date and revealed the official branding and logo for the next instalment in the rebooted MW series, which began with 2019’s Modern Warfare.
The Red Dead Redemption community has been in a frenzy for quite some time, with rumors of a remaster or remake floating around regarding the journey of the great John Marston. And now, our lingering questions have finally been answered with Rockstar Games’ re-release announcement of the original that started it all.
Although it won’t be the remake that fans had wished for, Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare will debut on the Nintendo Switch for the first time ever, along with a relaunch on the PS4. The package will be available on Aug. 17, 2023, for $49.99 via the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation stores, and you can already place your order down or add it to your wish list (physical copies will release on Oct. 13, 2023.)
I’m neither the most talented nor the luckiest shiny hunter when it comes to collecting these in-game rarities, but I’ve always enjoyed the unique color palettes of shiny Pokémon and how badass or horrifying they can make a beloved species look. Because of this, I was naturally excited to see that shiny Pokémon were included within Pokémon Sleep, knowing that there was a slim chance one may someday appear during my slumber.
The shiny odds in Pokémon Sleep are lower than the mainline games, much like Pokémon GO. However, If my Pokémon GO days were any indicator, I knew not to expect anything, and to presume that I wouldn’t come across one of those sparkly critters for a very long time, possibly for as long as I manage to hold interest in the game.
It may be hard to believe, but 2023 will mark 25 years since the Pokemon anime first premiered in the west. That’s a quarter century of battles, exploration, and boneheaded decisions by Ash Ketchum.
To commemorate this momentous landmark, we’re taking a look back by rewatching the earliest days of Pallet Town and beyond. Join us on this most marvellous trip down memory lane, and remember to stock up on Super Potions for the journey ahead!
The Game Boy Advance (GBA) is a handheld gaming console developed by Nintendo that was originally released in 2001. It is the successor to the Game Boy Color and the third installment in the Game Boy line.
The GBA features a 32-bit processor, a vibrant color screen, and a wide library of games that includes classics from previous Nintendo consoles and a variety of new titles. Its compact design, long battery life, and backward compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games contributed to its immense popularity and established it as one of Nintendo’s most successful handheld systems.
The first Darkness element, Stasis, was introduced to Destiny 2 almost three years ago, and since then, Stasis has undergone many changes since its debut. With buffs, nerfs, and changes to the weapons themselves, Stasis holds much value in endgame content. So today, we’re going over the Top 10 Stasis Weapons in Destiny 2 as of the Lightfall DLC and Season of the Deep. Also, as a quick PSA: This list is in no particular order.
Kicking off the list is one of the newest Exotic Stasis weapons to join the fray, the Wicked Implement Scout Rifle.
Have you ever wondered how far the rabbit hole of video game collectibles goes? The world of video game memorabilia is more expansive and expensive than many realize. From limited edition consoles to factory-sealed games, these precious gems can command exorbitant prices, often becoming an investment rather than a simple hobby. For some people, the thrill of the hunt, the pleasure of possession, and the prospect of selling a rare item for a hefty sum in the future are irresistible. Let’s delve into this universe and explore some of the rarest and most valuable video game collectibles in the world. Beware, these are some of the rarest video game collectibles you’ll need to take out a loan to buy!
Remnant 2 has proven to be a massive hit since launch, and players are scouring the game to find all the secrets. While the game is rather unique, players who are finishing it up and looking to move on to the next game have quite a few options. We have gathered a list of video games similar to Remnant 2 that might scratch a similar itch.
This one might feel a little bit like an obvious choice, but there’s a definite chance that not everyone was aware of the first one before the sequel blew up. There’s a decent amount of crossover between the two games, as the Ward 13 characters are in both.
The fortnightly OTA updates are easily the best part of Marvel Snap; these are small number changes and tweaks to the most and least played cards in the game, allowing for little meta shakeups that keep the game feeling fresh. And this week’s OTA update is pretty exciting, as it comes with significant buffs for various cards that have seen little to no play for months.
Here’s the full breakdown:
Dave the Diver’s Dev Interview has revealed a much-needed change for the game regarding the QTE moments that have caused some concern for many players. And, if you haven’t guessed yet, it’s none other than the button-mashing mechanic, which has awoken many sleeping family members during those late diving sessions.
Jaeho Hwang (Game Director) and Nolan King (Game Designer) discussed the matter in the interview, announcing a new option to turn on ‘Automate button mashing’ in the Settings section. With this feature, you will no longer need to exert yourself during the challenging fish captures, where you can easily hold down the button.
Season 5’s newest vehicles have changed the dynamics of Warzone and DMZ as we know it, cultivating fun and challenging elements for the two modes. While the MRAP has become an unstoppable force in DMZ, the Dirt Bike allows you to try out a few nifty tricks in the heat of the battle.
Due to the MRAP’s heavy armor, many players have expressed their concerns over the overpowered vehicle, in which they have countlessly succumbed to its deadly attacks. One user has noted an experience where the tank completely annihilated them, despite having a fully equipped 6-man team.
If fans could pick only one aspect that defines One Piece, most would pick its cast of characters. Running the gamut of quirks and motivations, they fill out the sprawling world made throughout the series and keep viewers coming back again and again to see how they’ll bounce off each other. Of the hundreds of pirates, marines, and wildcards found throughout the epic franchise though, some stand out as superior, and these are our picks for the top 30 best One Piece characters.
Last week, Second Dinner announced their first officially sanctioned tournament for Marvel Snap, the popular digital card game that released late last year. Named Conquerors, this was meant to be a tournament that brought together all of the game’s most popular content creators and see who could win the most number of Infinity Conquest runs in a specified period of time.
There’s no prize money for the tournament; all creators were given an appearance fee, and this was meant to showcase Conquest mode itself to promote it. At the time of writing, the tournament is still underway, and it’s been a bit of a mess so far. Let’s go over all the missteps.
It’s been a while since Second Dinner last sent us a development roadmap, detailing all of the new bells and whistles they were planning on adding to Marvel Snap. Most of the features have since been added to the game, and a new roadmap update gives us an idea of what else is to come in the future.
You can check out the roadmap for yourself down below:
The Aug. 2 release of Warzone Season 5 brought countless changes to the battle royale, DMZ, and MW2 annual installment. It might have also fixed the dreaded ‘dev error’ issue facing players in the extraction mode.
For a number of weeks now, Warzone’s DMZ mode has been plagued by a developer error affecting players when they travel to Building 21 and the Koschei Complex. There’s been a lot of silence from the devs too, but with Warzone Season 5 it’s finally been addressed.
Those who enjoyed the chaotic adventures of Roblox’s Slide House Tumble will undoubtedly love Slide Down a Hill, the latest destructive game that continues to rise in popularity. Like other installments, you’ll find yourself on a long track, and the only way across it is through a vehicle of your choice. But if you want to start your adventure with a few goodies, you’ll want to know all of the available codes for Slide a Hill.
Currently, Slide Down the Hill has one available code to use:
No matter what alignment you choose, Dungeons & Dragons is almost always going to be a chaotic game. When you sit too many like-minded individuals at a table for a few hours at a time, there’s bound to be some sort of mayhem that wasn’t in the session notes. Baldur’s Gate 3 is nearing its official release on PC and PS5, but as the date nears, I find myself wondering if the digital rendition of D&D is going to hold up to my personal level of chaos, or if I’m gonna have to begrudgingly adapt to Larian’s house rules.
As excited as I am, there’s a couple of reasons that I’m somewhat skeptical of the way the game’s gonna play. When it comes to D&D, there’s a certain amount of flexibility that comes to be expected among players, regarding not only their actions during their turn, but their interactions with the world around them. After all, players are solely using their imagination to create this world. On top of that, interacting with NPCs can go any direction imaginable depending on the DM for your real campaign, so how will that be reflected with pre-recorded voice lines in Baldur’s Gate?
After I rolled credits on the first three episodes of The Expanse: A Telltale series, it hit me that this isn’t the same kind of experience Telltale Games was once known for.
To be sure, all of the usual elements are there. The episodes had choices that impacted the outcome of a longform narrative, and brief gameplay segments broke up the dialogue dumps to keep the experience breezy. There were even some scant moments where it was unclear what the best course of action would be, and I had to step away in order to weigh the consequences of what I could do.
The hype is real for Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation that’s just been teased via the One Piece Official Youtube Channel. Dubbed as being the peak of Luffy and the most powerful ability in the world, fans are ready to see the official unveiling on August 6, 2023. In the meantime, artists have bestowed the fans with a plethora of fantastic desktop wallpapers to satisfy Luffy fans for the time being. So get ready to pick your favorite from these Top 10 Best Luffy Gear 5 Wallpapers.
If you frequent the OG realms of Azeroth, you’ve no doubt seen the buzz surrounding the venerable “HC” (amidst the LFG and innuendo posts that otherwise flood the general chat channel).
Since it was first revealed in June, the notion of a hardcore version of World of Warcraft Classic has got everyone prepping themselves for the devastation of permadeath, plying their trades in the PTR (public test realm) servers while they wait for the real thing.
