Some players felt the pacing in The Last of Us Part 2 was uneven. That got me thinking – what video games consistently nail their storytelling, keeping you hooked from start to finish? I’m looking for examples across different genres, and don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything!
Gaming can be a costly hobby, especially with the price of consoles and games. Despite this, people are still buying – the Nintendo Switch 2, for example, has seen incredible sales. However, high console prices can be a deterrent, making the current PlayStation 5 discount particularly appealing.
For the past 40 years, Ubisoft has created many shooting games, including popular series like Tom Clancy and Far Cry. However, Rainbow Six Siege is their only major hit in the competitive multiplayer shooter scene. With other companies like PlayStation/Bungie and EA also entering this market, a recent leak suggests Ubisoft is planning its own entry. Now, details are emerging about what that game might be, and it appears to be a science fiction shooter set in space.
JPMorgan Chase, a name synonymous with prudent banking and, let’s be honest, rather a lot of money, has seen fit to launch JPM Coin (JPMD). One presumes they felt left out of all the digital shenanigans. It’s for their institutional clients, naturally. One wouldn’t want the hoi polloi getting their hands on it.
Okay, so the mid-Season 19 update for Overwatch 2 is finally here! I’m super excited about the new Story feature – it looks like a cool way to dive deeper into the game’s lore. They’ve also tweaked a bunch of hero balances, which is always good. But the biggest thing for me? The Cyber Fuel Junkrat Mythic skin is awesome! And there’s a new game mode called Spirit Showdown, which is totally chaotic. Basically, you randomly switch heroes every time you get a kill or die twice. It’s wild, but a lot of fun!
In ARC Raiders, you’ll find the Ancient Fort at the very southern edge of the Blue Gate map. It’s a good place to find decent loot, but be prepared to encounter other players and some ARC machines. Once you get there, look for the locked cellar door on the west side of the fort – it has three light bulbs, just like the one at Raider’s Refuge.
Completing the Pokedex is already a big challenge because there are so many Pokemon to catch or trade. But some players go even further, trying to find Shiny Pokemon – these are just differently colored versions of regular Pokemon. Shinies don’t make you any stronger in battles, but they’re visually appealing and many players enjoy collecting them.
As a huge fan of open-world shooters, I’m blown away by the kinds of battlefields they’re creating now! You’ve got incredibly realistic military settings where you’re really tested against other players, then these totally immersive, destroyed post-apocalyptic worlds that are genuinely scary. It feels like developers are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this genre.
Few anime series reach the same level, but whether something is ‘better’ is always a matter of personal taste. There are definitely other shows that some people might even prefer over Naruto.
Bloomberg’s sage of ETFs, Eric Balchunas, proclaimed on Tuesday that Canary had submitted a Form 8A to the Securities and Exchange Commission the night prior. 📜 This, dear reader, is the bureaucratic equivalent of a trumpet blast announcing the commencement of the show. Balchunas, ever the optimist, suggests the launch could be imminent-“tomorrow or Thursday,” he says, with a wink and a nod. “Not a done deal,” he adds, with a shrug that speaks volumes, “but all boxes being checked. Stay tuned.” 🎭
