When The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom began leaking online, Nintendo initially fought back with standard copyright takedowns of screenshots, video streams, and entire Discord servers hosting links to pirated versions of the game.

     Half-Life 2 still has a perfect opening, and we can prove it

It's redundant now to declare Half-Life 2 one of the best PC games of all time. It's like saying, "The Godfather; good movie, right?" Two decades on from Half-Life 2's initial release, this remains as true as it ever was.

Replay it in 2023 - the year in which the FPS game itself is set - and you'll be treated to countless iconic, hair-raising moments and set pieces each underlined by the stunning technical achievement of Source engine, freshly unveiled alongside Half-Life 2. Beyond the groundbreaking advancements, visuals, and gameplay is the story, itself expertly crafted as if created by some master of dystopian science fiction.

Amid all this, it's all too easy to forget that Half-Life 2's opening chapter, Point Insertion, was - and is still - perfect. And you don't just need to take our word for it: we have the evidence.

Being a Black female gamer is no cakewalk. In a realm that, in many spheres, is hyper sensitive towards white women, never mind women of colour, forging your own path can seem destined for failure. Having just completed her work on Forspoken, Square Enix's recent RPG game, PCGamesN caught up with Black Girl Gamers CEO and founder Jay-Ann Lopez to talk about her journey.

     What is the Destiny 2 Lost Sector today?

Are you looking for Destiny 2 Lost Sector locations for today's daily Legend and Master Lost Sector? Before you can take on Legend Lost Sectors, you need to complete all the normal Lost Sectors first. If you don't, the new Legend Lost Sectors will not appear on the map. Each day, the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new.

While many Exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Destiny 2 Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available. It's important to remember that exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through the quests in the free PC game with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only.

     Premier is exactly what competitive Valorant needs right now

Valorant developers are quick to tackle bugs, and I love that. But let's not pretend that ranked is the same as it was a few months ago. The FPS game's increasing popularity comes with a bigger playerbase and more malicious actors, which means more smurfs, cheaters, and trolls. I no longer feel tempted to get up from bed and play Valorant in the middle of the night. That happened a lot back in 2021. But Valorant ranked is just not the same now, in 2023.

Premier, Valorant's new competitive mode, convinced me to log back in, and the experience was absolutely refreshing. It's safe to say that Premier sets a standard that closely aligns with the aspirations of Valorant's ranked players.

"Hell yeah. I cannot even look at ranked anymore. Premier is all I wanna do," one player says in a community discussion.

It's funny how some aspects of game design are so ubiquitous that we stop questioning them, or even noticing them. After decades spent playing video games, I know that if I look behind the waterfall, there's likely to be some sort of shiny goodie to collect. If I head left rather than right at the start of a level, I'm bound to find a juicy secret. There are conventions. Traditions. I can't remember a time when games didn't have giant lifts - and yet, I'm not entirely sure why they're there. I'm not talking about the regular kind of lifts that you pile into, usually at the end of a level, to transition from one part of the game to another; those ones have historically been used to hide lengthy loading times, like the interminably long lifts of Mass Effect.

What I mean is the lifts that are essentially tennis-court-sized moving platforms, usually with little more than a flimsy guard rail around the edge to stop elevator enjoyers from plunging down the shaft. Even more specifically, I'm talking about the diagonally moving elevators that trundle slowly into the depths, often to some nefarious laboratory. There's a good example in the Resident Evil 2 remake, where you fight the final boss on an inclined elevator as it slowly, ever so slowly, descends towards the train that will grant your escape. So where did these giant elevators come from? And why do developers keep putting them in their games? I set out to answer both questions, and went somewhere unexpected.

Last month Rachel made us aware of a life sim called Grave Seasons, a kind of mash up of perennial favourite Stardew Valley and, er, the half-season serial killer arc of a police procedural TV show. Naturally this turned my head, like Tarantino walking past a ladies shoe store, and I emailed the developers Perfect Garbage to find out a bit more. They describe the game as "fun, campy and spooky" and hint at yet more secrets to be revealed. Appropriate for a game where, every time you start a new run, one of the townsfolk starts killing everyone else.

Otaku Lamps Launches Persona 5 Royal Character Acrylic Lamps

There's a new line of Persona 5 Royal character merchandise. Otaku Lamps announced its new collection. There are nine lamps total in the collection. Each one is an acrylic stand based on members of the Phantom Thieves. The normal retail price for each one is $39.99, though they are temporarily on sale for $34.99 each. While they are noted to be based on the updated version of the game, there isn't one for Kasumi "Violet" Yoshizawa.

Eight of the nine Persona 5 Royal character lamps feature members of the Phantom Thieves. You can get Joker, Ryuji "Skull" Sakamoto, Morgana, Ann "Panther" Takamaki, Yusuke "Fox" Kitagawa, Makoto "Queen" Niijima, Futaba "Oracle" Sakura, and Haru "Noir" Okumura. The ninth design features the Phantom Thieves insignia hat with mask, rather than Goro "Crow" Akechi or Violet.

Here's how all of the lamps look both in their packaging and while in use. Each one has 16 different color options when in use. There are also different modes that offer static light or strobe and active effects.

Do Retry Joins Shonen Jump Manga Lineup

Shonen Jump added yet another new manga series, with this one being Do Retry. It is a boxing series by Jun Kirarazaka, who previously worked on Bone Collection. It is also a period piece that takes place after World War II. The first chapter is already live on the Manga Plus and Viz Media sites, with additional ones appearing weekly.

Do Retry stars Aozora Okami, the teenage son of a boxer who was sent off to war. After the bombings, him and his younger sister Akari are left as war orphans doing their best to survive. When its discovered Akari has tuberculosis, Aozora ends up going to confront some men who stole from him. It's then that his ability to get back up after taking a punch and right hook are noticed by a woman who thinks he'd be suited to become a boxer.

This series follows two other debuts in April 2023. Shonen Jump added Tenmaku Cinema at the beginning of that month. It follows a high schooler who's "possessed" by a deceased screenwriter who wants him to get his final work made. Kill Blue, a series about an assassin turned into a kid, is the other.

People can see new Shonen Jump Do Retry manga chapters every Sunday. The second chapter will arrive on May 14, 2023.

VShojo IQ999 lore videos.

VShojo released two new videos following the story of a new possible VTuber labeled as a "genius." Each video has been posted both on both the English and Japanese Twitter accounts with respective narration and subtitles. The company has not shared an official name yet, only referring to the project by #IQ999 on each post.

Check out the IQ999 VTuber teaser videos from the VShojo Twitter account in the thread below.

https://twitter.com/VShojo/status/1655407173118164992?s=20

The animated videos tell the story of a child test subject, acknowledged for her impressive intelligence, who escapes from a secret laboratory where she is being held. From what can be seen, she is referred to as "genius." Among her test results appears that she has an IQ of 999.

Many fans have been speculating this could be some sort of preliminary teaser for a new talent joining the agency. It should be noted that VShojo held auditions for new talents back in August 2021, but since then the Japanese branch only consists of Kson and Nazuna Amemiya.

Moreover, in April 2023 three talents Nyanners, Veibae, and Silvervale left the agency after deciding not to renew their contracts. However, these VTubers will still be active and using their own personas but as independent content creators.

So far VShojo released only two videos related to IQ999 in May 2023. However, it is possible that more animations will be released in the coming days possibly prior to the official announcement of a new project.

Review: Darkest Dungeon II Is as Stress Inducing as Its Predecessor

Cosmic horrors abound in Darkest Dungeon II, a game is bleak as its predecessor. The stress inducing aspects of Darkest Dungeon are back and more nail-biting than ever. But what the sequel offers is a new way to tackle challenges by adding a wealth of new mechanics that will play into whether you walk away from encounters victorious or at the brink of self-destruction. It doesn't necessarily reinvent what makes Darkest Dungeon so good to begin with, but instead builds upon its core strengths to create something more engaging.

Darkest Dungeon II requires the player to fail in order to progress, which feels almost antithetical to the original by design. Yes, you can trudge on through the game with minimal upgrades or even with the four starter characters. This is entirely possible, but I wouldn't recommend it if you want the full experience. Obtaining candles by completing objectives during your runs, such as tackling certain encounters, will allow you to unlock restorative and curative items, accessories for your carriage, and even other characters like the Flagellant and Vestal.

Failure reaps its own rewards, and it helps create an entirely new attitude when tackling the more roguelike elements of Darkest Dungeon II. Thankfully, the game itself does follow a familiar framework, which won't leave those who enjoyed the original game feeling dissatisfied or alienated. Instead of picking a different "size" of map, players will pick a region and explore a generated path where they can pick routes similar to Slay the Spire. Each of these routes features a specific destination point, which then narrows out into a boss encounter as you reach the end.

[caption id="attachment_962071" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Darkest Dungeon II Screenshot via Siliconera[/caption]

After completing a boss, which can be fairly challenging depending on how your run leading up to the encounter has gone, you then progress to the next chapter of the game. The difficulty only ramps up from here, but there is an item you can affix to your carriage to make the journey less stressful. However, it feels negligible and I didn't feel that using it made the game any easier. But maybe that was because I tend to play these games in the same fashion as I do Souls titles, and that's min-maxing and throwing myself at whatever comes my way until I can simply brute force my way through the game. That doesn't really work in Darkest Dungeon, or Darkest Dungeon II, as you will want to strategize and memorize what kind of status effects and enemies appear in each area.

For example, some locales will have enemies who are more susceptible to blight damage, which is a damage over time poison, or others that will generate more stress or even throw back damage over time effects of their own. These can include bleed, burning, and blight. Items unlocked through the candle system can heal these status effects, or character skills. The Plague Doctor is a premium choice as a party member for this reason, since she can increase resistance to status effects and even remove them while healing a bit of damage. That said, characters do feel more balanced overall. Even as you level up their skills as the game constantly provides a challenge and will require you to think over who to heal and when, or what enemies to prioritize over others.

[caption id="attachment_962072" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Red Hook games Screenshot via Siliconera[/caption]

A new mechanic to the game also gives the interaction between characters a bit more texture. Your party can now forge relationships with one another, and raising their affinity can help reduce stress and even provide temporary stat boosts. In early access, this wasn't clearly telegraphed, and it felt like bonds could deteriorate at the blink of an eye. The full release broadcasts this more clearly, so you can actually help build these relationships in a more concentrated effort. That said, you can easily destroy these bonds just as easily as you can build them. And you can face serious repercussions if two party members end up squabbling in the middle of a fight. My Highwayman at one point refused to be healed by my Vestal because they were often at odds with one another, which left him on death's door more times than I could count. You can try to mend these frayed relationships at an inn with specific items, which helps circumvent characters being locked into hating each other until you've completed your excursion. It feels more fair this time around, and wasn't nearly as aggravating as it was in early access.

Obtaining new skills for the individual characters is done through specific segments during which you can unlock memories for individual characters. These sometimes involve stages where certain objectives must be met, but aren't hard enough to actively fail at. Though you will want to tread carefully, as failure means you'll need to give it another shot at another one of these points should it spawn along your journey. I enjoyed the Graverobber's story the most, even though it was effectively elaborated on in one of the short, one-page comics released for the first game. It was interesting to experience the events first-hand, and receiving a new skill as a result was also a good reward. Not that I needed it, because even as barebones as Darkest Dungeon II's story is, I found myself wholly engrossed in it.

[caption id="attachment_962070" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Darkest Dungeon II Screenshot via Siliconera[/caption]

I love cosmic horror, and Darkest Dungeon II brings what was once isolated to a hamlet located in the middle of nowhere to a greater stretch of the world. You see the repercussions of the events of the first game, and every time you start a new run you are greeted with a sliver of new lore as to how the world spiraled into the state it is. Another interesting thing is seeing characters that were allies in Darkest Dungeon appear as enemies in specific stages. The Antiquarian, for example, is now traveling with bandits, and it was exciting but also sad to have to kill a character I had grown familiar with over the span of a hundred hours spent with the first game.

Overall, Darkest Dungeon II expands on the series in a way that brings a new kind of freshness to the core experience. Those looking for something identical to the first game may feel disappointed with how progression tracks, or a lack of a more diverse roster of characters. That said, it is bound to keep you entertained for hours on end, and has plenty of new mechanics to engage in that allow for more experimentation and min-maxing.

Darkest Dungeon II is immediately available on PC.

How to Take Part in Genshin Impact The Recollector's Path Event

Yet another Genshin Impact event kicked off, and The Recollector's Path involves the Bloomguard Sorush. Starting on May 8, 2023, we can start going through six stages consisting of Tranquil Trial protection stages, Intrepid Impulse traveling ones, and Reinforced Reminiscence trials that involve creating a Scene of Significance. As usual, rewards include Hero's Wits, Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Primogems, and Weapon Ascension Materials.

What are the Genshin Impact The Recollector's Path event requirements

As usual, there's an Adventure Rank requirement. You must be at AR 20. You also need to have made your way to the Sumeru region, as this involves the Girdle of the Sands. While many quests involve certain Archon Quests to be finished, this one has a Khvarena of Good and Evil mandate due to it involving the Pari Sorush. You need to have started that World Quest and finished "The Splendorous Sky That Day."

There's also a Quick Start option. It involves another quest in that line. If you opt for it, you can avoid finishing "As the Khvarena's Light Shows."

How does the Genshin Impact The Recollector's Path work?

First, here's the schedule for stages.

  • May 8, 2023: Shelter of Fragrance and Lilies
  • May 9, 2023: Withered Vessel, Hollowed Mind
  • May 10, 2023: A Pilgrimage Upon Blade's Edge
  • May 11, 2023: Silenced Percussion
  • May 12, 2023: That Which Lingers
  • May 13, 2023: Cacophony of the Tunigi Catastrophe

In a Tranquil Trail stage, people take part in essentially a tower defense map. Sorush will fly around and be able to use Nirodha Fruits to cause the Curio items like a bonfire that can act as a lure, a flower that can spit fruits like weapons, and exploding barrels.

The Intrepid Impulse part is a flying challenge. Our goal is to help Sorush collect Valiant Corollas. People will fly through an area to collect the items. There will also be Glowing Wreaths. Going through them speeds the Pari up and makes collection easier.

The third type of stage is the Reinforced Reminiscence. Sorush will be flying around a scene. You'll be able to see a few pieces of the view. Your goal is to make sure you match up the parts you know with the actual environmental set pieces at the proper angle. When you do line things up properly, you complete the puzzle.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and The Recollector's Path runs until May 22, 2023. We can also participate in the A Parade of Providence event in-game until May 15, 2023.

Honkai: Star Rail Xianzhou Luofu Inspired by Pre-Qin Dynasty Myth, Golden-era Sci-fi

HoYoVerse took to HoYoLab to detail the inspiration for the Honkai: Star Rail Xianzhou Luofu, citing Golden Age of Science Fiction authors and Chinese architecture, history, and mythology as references for the flagship's design. It referenced details about the people who live on the ship. The goal was to make it feel "retro" and futuristic all at once. The official site's page also showed concept art from the location.

HoYoVerse's announcement noted the goal is to convey the idea of an enduring culture. It specifically noted, "the inspiration for the Xianzhou Luofu comes from the pre-Qin Dynasty myth of 'seeking immortality.'" This influenced the races that appear there, as we see people with long lives, the Foxian race with animalistic traits, and the dragon-like Vidyadhara. It also noted at the end of the article that all designs follow the concept of "In what way would a society completely led by long-living lifeforms express themselves." Authors like Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s work were all cited when discussing design directions as well. HoYoVerse specifically noted the realism mixed in with their stories' lore.

The Honkai: Star Rail Xianzhou Luofu HoYoLab piece also mentioned the idea of "warmth" alongside "technological development." The developer used elements of Huizhou Architecture to design the different areas of the ships. It also noted the starskiffs people will use to travel between different areas of the larger ship are based on floating rafts in the Jin Dynasty author Zhang Hua's "Floating Rafts in the Eight Month."

Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PC and mobile devices, and PS4 and PS5 versions are on the way.

Splatoon 3 Zelda Splatfest Winner

Nintendo revealed the winner of its The Legend of Zelda Splatfest in Splatoon 3, and Ganondorf won. Team Power swept the board, as the winning team of the Sneak Peek, Open and Pro contests and the Tricolor Battles. This means that the Splatfest ultimately handed a victory to the Gerudo king.

https://twitter.com/SplatoonNA/status/1655396316925644801

The Splatfest took place over the weekend of May 5-7, 2023. It was a crossover event with The Legend of Zelda ahead of the release of Tears of the Kingdom. Players were asked to choose between Power, Wisdom and Courage, representing the three parts of the Triforce. The Tricolor Battle portion of the Splatfest took place on a special Triforce-shaped variant of Scorch Gorge.

Ganondorf and Team Power started strong as the winner of the Splatoon 3 Splatfest Sneak Peek, based on the number of conch shells won by players who'd chosen the team in the week before the event. The half-time results also showed a strong lead for Power, with 34.23% victories over 33.7% for Wisdom and 32.07% for Courage. They also won the Tricolor Battle with 34.47%.

Power also turned out to be the most popular team, with 36.9% of players choosing the team over 32.08% for Wisdom and 31.02% for Courage.

Splatoon 3 is out now for Nintendo Switch. Courage and Wisdom players can console themselves by fighting back against Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom when it releases on May 12, 2023.

VShojo VTubers Ironmouse and Zentreya Getting New Models

VShojo announced Ironmouse and Zentreya will both be getting new VTuber models. For Zentreya, this will be a 2.0 model. That will show up on May 20, 2023. There's no exact time for its first appearance. As for Ironmouse, this is just a new model for her. That will show up first at 12pm PT/3pm ET on May 11, 2023.

It's been quite some time since a new Zentreya model appeared, as the VShojo VTuber's last look showed up in July 2022. That's when she got a 3D cyborg design. Prior to that, she had a 2D version of that look from earlier that year. Some of her past designs involved one where she wore a military uniform and another in which she looked like a dragon.

Here's the first teaser for her new design, which only features her eyes and face.

Meanwhile, Ironmouse gets new models fairly regularly. For example, we saw her new Race Queen model back in February 2023. She's been using it rather regularly since then. Prior to that, she ended up getting a Demon Queen model in November 2022. This new model for her comes not long after she passed 1.5 subscribers on Twitch.
