Bobby Anhalt — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 02:31:11 GMT

The Finals developer Embark Studios has commented on the recent cheating issues that have been plaguing the new free-to-play shooter and promises that a fix is on the way. In the past few days, the problem has reached a boiling point in the community as fans have even asked The Finals devs to region-lock China since many of the reported cheaters have been using Mandarin names. Of course, this proposed solution isn't one the team at Embark Studios is likely to move forward with, as The Finals' community manager explained that many of these players aren't actually Chinese; rather, these players use Mandarin names so they will be more difficult to report.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet May Have a Trainer Who Could Beat Gold and Silver’s Red

Andrea Trama — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 01:58:07 GMT

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC is a great example of what future games in the series can achieve even before expansions or third games are introduced, and it should be used as the foundation of what's to come rather than a generation's apex. One of the reasons why The Indigo Disk succeeds where base Gen 9 games failed is difficulty. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's level scaling approach meant that players could theoretically explore Paldea as they pleased, but every Gym or major encounter was still set at a specific level, and overleveling any of those would make the game a breeze. The Indigo Disk brings difficult battles back into the mix, and one trainer may now compete for the title of strongest of the series, even more so than the legendary Red or Cynthia.

Though Starfield has a mixed rating on Steam, with more negative than positive reviews left by its players in the last 30 days, Bethesda's latest sandbox features a few aspects that received near-universal praise at launch, with its ship builder in particular standing tall above the rest. From making original concepts to recreating their favorite starships, Starfield players sunk countless hours into the feature, and while the outpost system isn't as refined by comparison, it still managed to attract the same kind of creativity.
