PCGamesN Saturday, August 31, 2024 3:00 AM  As my first hour with Pearl Abyss's new action game Crimson Desert at Gamescom 2024 came to a close, I wasn't sure how to feel. A large chunk of my time was spent in frustration, hammering the respawn button as I tried to wrap my head around its distinctive control system. Yet between those moments were glimmering sparks of potential, and so I did the only reasonable thing; I booked one of my only remaining free hours at the show to come back for more. As my demo ran out for the second time, my mind was much clearer - Crimson Desert has the potential to be one of the most exciting games I've played in a while, but it's not quite there yet.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, August 31, 2024 3:00 AM  Time to set the record straight! I wasn't too busy playing Black Myth: Wukong to write up last weekend's Playing This Weekend. I'd never fail you all thus! Instead, I had one of the worst flu illnesses I've ever had, followed by a nice bout of tonsillitis, for which I'm still on antibiotics. Thankfully, I can now look at a monitor screen for more than an hour before feeling sick, so gaming is no longer out of the question for this weekend. Let's see what we're all going to be clicking on! |

In a twist that sounds like something from the Battle City arc of Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters, Zayn Malik of One Direction was revealed on August 29, 2024 that he was the inaugural Shadow Duelist in the Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel tournament. During the event itself, he took on the persona of Nocturne, hiding his face underneath a horned mask.
Zayn's participation in the tournament had nothing to do with his surname sounding like the first name of Marik Ishtar, who was one of the main antagonists of Battle City. He's actually a huge Yu-Gi-Oh fan himself and talked about his passion for the game after the unmasking. Zayn shared his binder of cards, as well as the fact that his favorite card is the Shooting Star Dragon, which is also one of his best cards. The winner of the Master Duel tournament, Fictinium, won a signed copy of the Nocturne mask as part of the prize package.
Zayn Malik was part of One Direction, a very big and popular boy band from the early 2010s. He left the group in 2015 to begin a solo career. His lead single was "Pillowtalk," which was one of the clues that the tournament organizers dropped when teasing the true identity of the mysterious duelist Nocturne.
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The world championship of the game will take place in Seattle on September 7 and 8, 2024.
