Why Crimson Desert’s Steam Rating Keeps Climbing (And Why It May Not Be Over Yet)

It’s been about a week since the release of this open-world action-adventure game, and player reviews on Steam are overwhelmingly positive – over 80% are favorable. Remarkably, it quickly jumped from a ‘Mostly Positive’ rating to ‘Very Positive’ in just a few days, which is unusual for games on Steam. Typically, games that start with lower ratings take much longer to improve after launch. However, there’s good reason why Crimson Desert is getting such positive feedback, and signs suggest it will continue to improve in the weeks ahead.

Gold’s Dance: $4,500 Waltz or Bearish Tango?

Behold, the spot price of gold ascends to $4,550-$4,600, a 1.7% resurrection from last week’s dramatic plunge. Buyers, those eternal optimists, emerge like spring flowers after a frost, lured by the siren call of oversold levels. Analysts, ever the poets of charts, declare, “Short-term demand has bloomed in the exhaustion zone,” as if the market were a garden tended by fickle gods.

I’m Sorry, But 2027 is Way Too Early for Next-Gen Consoles

It’s been nearly six years since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released, and people are starting to wonder when the next consoles will come out. Historically, console generations last between four and seven years, leading many to predict new systems in 2027. While that timing usually wouldn’t be a concern, I believe that seven years is too soon to release new PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

6 Things About Jujutsu Kaisen That Never Made Any Sense

From pointless military conflicts to empty threats, some storylines in Jujutsu Kaisen don’t quite make sense given the established rules of the series. While the show often intentionally plays with expectations, sometimes prioritizing exciting action over logic, these moments still feel confusing, even at the climax.

You Don’t Have to Wait for Launch to Play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Switch

Coming April 16th, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the third game in the Tomodachi series and the second to be released outside of Japan. Fans who enjoyed the original Tomodachi Life on the Nintendo 3DS will find a lot to love in this new version, which is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. The game lets you watch and influence the everyday lives of Miis on a private island, and this sequel adds a bunch of new features to make the interactions and relationships even more dynamic and interesting.

It’s Been 13 Years, & I Still Can’t Forget About Michael B. Jordan’s Best Role

The 2013 film Fruitvale Station was the first of many successful collaborations between director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan. The movie powerfully portrays the story of Oscar Grant, a young Black father in California who was tragically killed by police in 2009. While it was an early breakthrough role for Jordan, many consider it to be his most compelling performance to date.

5 Manga That Had Better Endings Than Chainsaw Man

While many manga wrap up similarly, the ending of Chainsaw Man Part 2 doesn’t quite hit the mark. A thematically focused ending can still be satisfying, but Chainsaw Man felt like it had more story to tell – with characters like Denji and Asa, and the potential of the apocalyptic setting. Though the author, Tatsuki Fujimoto, intentionally ended the series with chapter 232, it’s hard not to feel that other manga have delivered more impactful conclusions.
