Quick Links After the Season 3 update and the addition of Rebirth toCall Of Duty: Warzone, lots of assault rifles are starting to see more playtime. The long range meta shifted rapidly, but there’s one gun that still competes among the best within the class, especially for the most aggressive players, the RAM-7. While last year the RAM-7 was the absolute meta across all ranges, right now the game feels much more balanced and this gun only serves the most aggressive playstyles....

Summary I’ve been playingStardew Valleypretty much since it came out; I’ve seen the recipe book in the game expand as update after update dropped for the game. I’ve spent my time in my farmhouse kitchens, slaving away over a hot stove to craft every recipe in Stardew Valley. But which of them, I thought to myself, would Iactuallywant to try in real life? As I prepared my farmer fora day in the Mines, I scrolled through her recipe book and considered what all of the meal recipes in Stardew Valley would taste like in real life....

As is the case with pretty much any fighting game, one of the biggest conversations surrounding Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero iswhat characters are going to be playable on the roster. We’ve seen several eras of Dragon Ball represented already,from Kid Gohan all the way up to Jiren and Kefla, but there are still some parts of Dragon Ball that are notably missing right now....

Summary Earlier this year,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero producer Jun Furutani said thatthe new Budokai Tenkaichi game wouldn’t have split-screen, but the PlayStation Store appears to now contradict that. It’s worth keeping in mind that Furutani also said that the team is trying to find a solution and is keenly aware of the demand. As spotted by ResetEra user stopmrdomino, the page lists optional online play and support for up to two online players with PS Plus, as well as 1-2 players....

Summary Hades 2 was shadow-dropped a couple of days ago,and despite launching out of nowhere two years after being announced, it has already more than doubled its predecessor’s concurrent player record. As reported byEurogamer, its current peak is 103,567 players. As of writing–on a Wednesday morning before half the world has even woken up–59,714 people are battling through the underworld.

Summary Helldivers 2is a live service game, and that title comes with a lot of expectations. It seems like every constantly updated online game has to have a series of crossovers these days, whether it beFortnite teaming up with Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sonic teaming up with Monster Hunter, or Final Fantasy 14 crossing over with itself. Helldivers 2 is an anomaly in the live service space though, and its opinions on crossovers are no exception....

Last week, I said that Operation Swift Disassembly was a suicide mission, and it looks like I’ve been proven right. As I write this, I’ve just watched Ubanea be liberated by Super Earth forces and wrenched from Automaton control. That would be a good sign if there wasn’t just nine hours left to complete the Major Order passed on from high this weekend. SteamDB shows us that it is around this time daily that player count starts to dip to around 100k, way down from the peak player count sitting at around 250k – it’s extremely unlikely that there will be enough players online in the next few hours to reclaim Tibit....
