When playing Red Dead Online, players might find themselves wanting to get out of the cities. The wilderness of Ambrino allows for this, giving players plenty of space where NPCs are scarce. This also allows for players to hunt and fish in peace. The lack of NPCs also allows for more animals to hunt. On top of the regular animals, players can potentially find legendary animals in this area. Ambrino is one of the more unique areas in Red Dead II....

The hunting mechanics in Red Dead Redemption 2 are unrivaled, from the realistically graphic skinning animations, to the varied wildlife that can be found in their respective habitats. Animals act the way they do in real life, and die like real animals too. They fetch a good price at the butcher, and they can be cooked in camp to create consumables. However, hunting in Red Dead Onlineis a bit different from hunting in the singleplayer campaign....

Call of Duty: Warzone is the hottest battle royale on the block, and as such players are coming up with ingenious new ways to play the game. The latest highlight involves deployable cover, an item that’s underused and — quite frankly — seen as a pretty useless pickup. That might change in the future, as one Redditor discovered that the cover can be used to boost players up to locations that were previously inaccessible....

Persona 4 Golden’s much-delayed PC arrival has given fans the ability to mod the game, and as expected, players are running wild the possibilities. One particular mod, which restores the Yosuke romance route that was initially cut from Persona 4, has particularly captured the Persona community’s attention. Yosuke’s affection for the player character is obvious in both the original game and Golden. He calls you “partner” nigh incessantly, fawns over you whenever possible, and you even get to share an umbrella with him in Golden, which players familiar with Japanese cultural conventions may recognize as a deeply intimate act....

Following the September 2016 Japanese release of Persona 5, the Atlus-developed JRPG has finally hit North American gaming audiences, and many critics concede that it’s something quite special. Though the title has been lauded for its intense and pulpy story and unique aesthetic design, Persona 5 (like any other game) isn’t without its faults. In particular, the game doesn’t allow the option to choose between a male or a female lead....

Several weeks ago, a teaser website for the mysterious Persona 5 S launched, further fueling a longstanding rumor that a Switch port of Atlus’s acclaimed 2016 jRPG was on its way. Indeed, a number of fans expected Persona 5 S to be shorthand for Persona 5 Switch, but that is now confirmed to not be the case. Earlier today, Atlus revealed the first trailer for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, a new action RPG set to release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on a currently unspecified date....

PewDiePie is no stranger to controversy, but the latest incident involving the popular YouTuber doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. Just days after issuing an apology for a racist remark he made while playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, PewDiePie nearly slipped up on another livestream of the game, but this time stopped himself before saying the word. While PewDiePie managed to prevent himself from using racist language this time, the fact that he was about to use it at all may make his recent troubles that much worse....

The official Astral Chain website has had a strange change made to its copyright blurb, as PlatinumGames is no longer listed alongside Nintendo. Astral Chain is an action title by PlatinumGames, which casts the player as a police officer who fights alongside a spirit. Think Bayonetta meets Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Asral Chain received critical acclaim at launch (despite a dumb attempt at review bombing the game for being a Nintendo Switch exclusive), and it seemingly performed well for PlatinumGames, giving the company its first #1 hit in the UK....

Sceptile is a powerful Grass-type Pokémon, and most trainers would love to have the chance to catch one for themselves. Even Fire-Type trainers can acknowledge the strength of this starter Pokémon, and it’s no surprise because its agility is outmatched by a few other Generation 3 creatures. Although many fans love Sceptile, they may not have seen some of the best depictions that fans have created for the fan-favorite Grass-Type. This list will show some of the most mesmerizing pictures that artists have created of Sceptile that will make every fan’s jaw drop with awe!...

If someone takes the 16 Personalities quiz and comes up as having Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging personality traits, they might wonder which Pokémon team is the best for them. Well, they are in the right place. Myers-Briggs®’s ENFJs are charismatic, natural-born leaders, perfect for becoming a world-famous Pokémon trainer. Players with this personality type need a balanced, dedicated team full of passion and energy to match their own warm, altruistic streak....

It has been a great two decades for the Pokémon franchise. When the series came to America, I was barely a junior high student with dreams as high as the cloud. Now, I am an old man and still, the series remains fresh and one of the most popular franchises in the world. Not counting the Mega Evolutions and Alola variants, there are 802 different species of Pokémon. If the franchise maintains its popularity, there will be even more in the near future....

Raids are some of the most confusing and complicated new features of Pokemon Sword & Shield, bringing a titanic cooperative battle to the Pokemon series. Through the Raid Dens and the Crown Tundra’s Dynamax Adventure, four players can take on one massive opponent for several items and high-level captures. Despite the depth of this new format, there’s a lot that’s still oddly unknown about this new form of battling, as well as the Dynamax phenomenon in general....

If there are any battles most Pokemon fans have seen in the anime, it’s probably between Ash and his many rivals throughout his adventures. From the original condescending Gary to the ambitious Gladion, we’ve seen all sorts of characters face off against our favorite Pokemon trainer with their own battle styles and personalities. What we’ve never really seen, though, is how these rivals would face off against each other. Ash’s rivals have rarely ever met, and given their unique teams and conflicts against Ash, it’s worth wondering how these characters would stack against each other, as some of them would surely come out victorious over the others....

Psychic-type Pokemon have a reputation for being some of the most overused and overpowered Pokemon in the franchise. They have access to some incredibly powerful moves and their attacks can be effective against a wide range of types. Like any other Pokemon, they also have their weaknesses, but these are usually far outweighed by their strengths. The likes of Alakazam and Mewtwo helped to lay the groundwork for the dominance of psychic-types right from the get-go and each new generation has brought with it yet more fantastic additions....

The big weekend is here for Detective Pikachu, which means that tons of Pokemon fans will be heading to the movies to see if this film can really break the video game movie curse. In addition to enjoying the new film, Pokemon GO players also have an exciting tie-in event to participate in for a few more days. The Pokemon GO Detective Pikachu crossover event is already underway and players have a handful of bonuses, tasks, and special spawns to keep in mind while playing throughout the event....

Veteran Pokemon players are well aware that the game has tons of matchup variations to master if a trainer wants to be the best there ever was. This variety and challenge is part of what has kept the franchise fresh and engaging over the years. That still holds true in Pokemon GO, where counters and weaknesses are incredibly important to Battle Raids and PvP matches. One of the downsides of the complicated move-type system is that it can be near impossible to memorize each of the strengths and weaknesses of the many different types....

After a year of random Gen I Pokemon and repeats of old shines, I’m pumped for Pokemon Go Community Day. That’s because in June, Gible will be the featured Pokemon, fulfilling a fan wish from 2019. It feels like a sign that the pandemic-induced restrictions are coming to an end, and that Pokemon Go’s monthly event can actually be a big deal again. For the longest time, Community Day was a celebration of the most popular Pokemon....

While many Pokemon fans were excited for the announcement of Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, as well as new gameplay information on New Pokemon Snap, the star of Pokemon’s most recent direct was the reveal of a new open-world Pokemon game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Taking place during the establishment of the Sinnoh region, the player is sent back to a time long before the events of Diamond & Pearl and is tasked with creating the first Sinnoh Pokedex....

It’s a new year and a Pokemon milestone anniversary, which means it’s time for a fandom tradition: predicting that Diamond/Pearl remakes are TOTALLY CONFIRMED. It makes sense for fans to clamor over 4th gen–it evolved underpowered favorites, debuted online trading, and gave us the Underground. This expansion of features and transformation of old Pokemon laid much of the groundwork for the post-Game Boy era. But it was the follow-ups–the 5th gen Black & White games–that truly pushed Pokemon in a bold, new direction....

It seems like all the upcoming movies and shows, from the new Witcher Season to the reboot of the Mortal Kombat movie are being delayed due to the coronavirus. Thankfully, there is still entertainment out there for those locked up at home; SyFy is releasing the first episode of the new series Vagrant Queen for free. Based on a Vault comic by Magdelene Visaggio, Vagrant Queen is a story of a long-lost queen whose throne was stolen by revolutionaries....
