I Played Metroid Prime 4, and I’m Not Worried About Samus’ ‘Annoying’ Sidekick

by

I was surprised to see that other early reviews of the game were somewhat divided. A lot of the current discussion actually centers around a single character, Myles Mackenzie, who provides voice-over dialogue. For example, IGN’s preview of Metroid Prime 4 focused heavily on Mackenzie, suggesting his inclusion is a bad sign. Video Games Chronicle agreed, publishing an article claiming Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t feel like a traditional Metroid game, and they blamed Mackenzie for this. This seems to have resonated with players, who are expressing strong disapproval on social media about having a voiced character in a Metroid game. While I respect the opinions of other reviewers and players, I’m surprised by the amount of negativity towards Mackenzie and I don’t feel the same way.

Olive Locations In ARC Raiders

by

If you’re looking for Olive in ARC Raiders, the best place to find it is the Olive Grove on the Blue Gate map. Because of this, it’s a very popular spot, and many players are competing for the same resources. To make things even harder, the area is heavily guarded by ARC drones like Wasps, Hornets, and Rocketeers. You also have to watch out for Leapers that patrol the area, ready to attack if you make a mistake. And if that wasn’t enough, some players like to camp on the roof of the Ancient Fort to the south and snipe anyone collecting Olives.

XRP’s $2.26 Tango: Double Bottom or Double Trouble?

by

The daily chart? A somber descent since breaching $3.05, with price clinging to $2.30 like a moth to a flame. Candle bodies shrink, signaling either indecision or the market’s attempt to build a base while pretending it’s not nervous. Volume spiked on a red candle-capitulation, perhaps? But follow-through? Nowhere to be found. The market yawns. 🤐

The Sims’ Project Rene Criticized for Ripping Off Roblox Game

by

Project Rene, the next iteration of The Sims, has been in the works since at least 2022. Since announcing the project in October of that year, the developers at Maxis have held several private playtests, giving players a sneak peek at how the game works. Despite the tests being exclusive and under non-disclosure agreements, information has consistently leaked online, as often happens with fan-accessible projects. Because of this, screenshots and details from almost every Project Rene playtest have appeared online since the game was first announced.
