Pokémon Pokopia Players Are Sharing an Important PSA for Anyone Just Starting: No, You Don't Have to Manually Water All the Grass

Image
Pokémon Pokopia players are speaking out to save others a whole lot of time and bother — because no, you don't actually need to water every single square of the game's world. When you first start playing Pokopia, your character wakes up in an arid wasteland that was once a lush Pokémon utopia. There are no humans anymore, the world is in ruins, and other Pokémon are few and far between. On top of that, you've likely seen screenshots and trailers showing the possibilities in store when you do revive Pokopia's world — and so when you gain the ability to water the ground and bring back its green hues, many players' first instinct (including my own) is to do so everywhere. For hours. Every. Last. Square. Well, it turns out you don't need to do that. As many players are now taking to social media to point out (and also, very mildly spoil) there will soon come a time when all of this is handled for you. And if you'd prefer not to read more about what happen...

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake Review

Image
Since the earliest cave paintings, human beings have used art to recreate the world around us. But while the painter’s limit is imagination, the photographer can only capture what actually exists. They can use their tools to increase exposure, change framing, or apply filters, but they cannot create something entirely new; only preserve a moment in time. It’s telling that Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is getting its moment now. A game about twin sisters haunted by the past with a camera as their only salvation, Crimson Butterfly Remake is similarly bound to its predecessor while also being charged with modernizing it. In many ways, it succeeds. I cannot deny that I enjoyed revisiting Minakami Village, but I also fear that constantly bending a knee to the modern and adding more complex mechanics has added an artificiality that is at odds with the captivating story it tells. By the time I reached the end of my 20-hour journey, I was deeply satisfied with and impressed by this remak...

Master Chief Actor Steve Downes Hits Out at the White House for Use of His Voice in ‘Disgusting and Juvenile' Social Media Video

Image
Steve Downes, who plays Master Chief in the Halo series, has demanded the White House remove his voice from a social media video he described as “disgusting and juvenile war porn.” In a video published to the official White House X / Twitter account, now viewed over 63 million times, Master Chief is seen and heard issuing his iconic line, “Finishing this fight.” But Halo is not the only world-famous intellectual property used in the video, which was published last week amid the war in the Middle East alongside the text, “Justice the American way.” Also included are clips of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mel Gibson in Braveheart, Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Keanu Reeves as John Wick, and many more, all saying iconic lines of their own. The movie clips are spliced with war footage showing explosions.

Project Motor Racing: ‘We Let You Down, and We Let Ourselves Down’

Image
The team behind Project Motor Racing has acknowledged the game did not meet expectations upon its initial release in November. The admission comes via a new newsletter update from developer Straight4 Studios, which also announced a major update is set to arrive at the end of March. “When we launched Project Motor Racing in November, we set out to build a racing sim that captured the intensity, immersion, and discipline of real motorsport,” the studio wrote. “So let’s start with the simple truth: we didn’t hit the mark. Not on the stuff that mattered most. We let you down, and we let ourselves down.” Conceding “more than one thing” went wrong, the studio explained it has been focusing on working “tirelessly to right the ship.” “Patch by patch, we’ve listened closely to your feedback – the good, the bad, and the blunt – and we’ve acted on it,” the studio continued. “We’re now seven patches into making PMR the experience you want. Are we there yet? No. Not yet. But we’re moving clos...

Slay the Spire 2 Early Access Review So Far

Image
On its Early Access launch day, before I'd unlocked anything, I was struck by how much Slay the Spire 2 felt more like a remake of the original Slay the Spire than a sequel. The tutorial didn't tell me – someone with over 1,000 hours in the original – anything I didn't already know. The map where you choose your path and whether to aim for riskier battles with higher rewards or potentially lower-stakes encounters (which can still turn wild on you) is exactly the same, and the turn-based combat follows basically all the old rules of how you spend your allotted energy points to play cards that build up your armor and hack away at the enemy's defenses and health until one side or the other is dead. That's not a bad thing when your starting point is one of the all-time greats – just a few months ago I lavished praise on another deckbuilding roguelike sequel, Monster Train 2 , for a similar approach. And as I've progressed and unlocked some of the new content over...

Pokémon TCG's 151 Cards Continue to Skyrocket in Value After 30th Anniversary Celebrations

Image
This week has been historic for Pokémon, as we celebrated the franchise’s 30th anniversary with a Pokémon Presents that gave us our first look at Pokémon Winds and Waves. With the reveal of a new region based and our first look at the Generation 10 starters , we bid a fond farewell to Paldea. This ‘see you later’ to Generation 9 has definitely been reflected in the Pokémon TCG , as Scarlet & Violet - 151 has become the market's hottest focal point this week. Using data from TCGPlayer, the gold standard for secondary market pricing, we’ve analyzed the biggest movers of the week to see which cards are capturing the anniversary hype. 7. N's PP Up - 262/217 Weekly Spike: +$6 Current Market Price: $14 Investment Velocity: 75% Increase Perhaps not a card you’d expect to see spiking, it hardly follows the typical chase cards we’ve come to expect. This Trainer-Item card is from the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together set (153/159). This week, it’s ju...

Nintendo Sues U.S. Government Over Trump's 'Unlawful' Tariffs That Led to Last-Minute Switch 2 Pre-Order Delay, Demands Refund With Interest

Image
Nintendo has sued the U.S. government over “unlawful” tariffs, demanding a refund with interest. Aftermath was first to report on Nintendo’s lawsuit, which was filed in the United States Court of International Trade today. Nintendo is focusing on refunds of tariffs that were struck down last month by the Supreme Court, which said President Donald Trump’s unprecedented use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was illegal. Following the Supreme Court decision, Trump introduced a new 10% global tariff rate. In early April last year, Trump held up a chart while speaking during a “Make America Wealthy Again” trade announcement event in the Rose Garden at the White House, and declared “Liberation Day.” The announcement confirmed additional tariffs targeting goods imported to the U.S. The U.S. Customs and ‌Border Protection agency ‌said it collected ​about $166 billion in duties and deposits under the emergency tariffs imposed ‌by Trump. According to Reuters , the ...

Elden Ring: Nightreign Players Are Begging For Another Major Update... or Just Everdark Heolstor

Image
It's now been three months since Elden Ring: Nightreign received its paid Forsaken Hollows DLC, which added two new Nightfarers, a new map, two new end bosses and a bundle of other new bosses, enemies, and events. And players are starting to get real antsy, wondering when, if ever, another update will arrive...or at least when they're going to finally get Everdark Heolstor. Multiple popular Reddit posts this week have expressed frustration at not just no updates, but no news of future updates, coming out of FromSoftware for Nightreign since Forsaken Hollows. As u/Chance_Drive_5906 put it , "It has now been three months since the DLC came out. The last piece of content we got for Nightreign. I think it's safe to say we aren't getting anything else and Fromsoft has moved on. The last patch for this game came out almost two months ago as well, so I'm not sure we'll even see any further balance updates." The comments below are full of individuals expres...

Diablo 4’s New Warlock Class Lets You Turn the Power of Hell Back on Itself | Hands-On Preview

Image
No matter how much time goes by, the gory, loot-filled embrace of Diablo 4 is something I always seem to return to, and with the Lord of Hatred expansion right around the corner it’s only a matter of time before I lose myself for dozens of hours once again. That’s especially true now that I’ve had the chance to check out the second of two new character classes coming alongside the expansion, the Warlock, who uses the power of Hell against itself to become an unstoppable, demonic magic user that even Mephisto himself should have reason to fear. This summoner of satanic sigils and swarms of sinister spawn has numerous distinct builds that make it an interesting option for different types of players, and make it less likely that you’ll end up in a party filled with identical demon summoners when going toe-to-toe with the Lord of Hatred, and I truly cannot wait to see what insane builds people come up with. Combined with the new region of Skovos, an overhauled endgame experience, and a w...

Pokemon Pokopia's Lore Has Huge Implications for the Pokemon Universe

Image
Pokemon Pokopia is out now, and I loved it. I gave it a 9/10 for IGN , and one of the things I praised most highly about it was its story and the ways in which it leverages nostalgia for emotional impact. In the review, I didn't talk much about the specifics of that story, because I didn't want to spoil it for anyone. But Pokopia has been released, and I have been unleashed. I need to tell someone about this story, because it's kind of unhinged! Pokopia, despite having a cute and wobbly exterior, is hiding (not very subtly) an extremely grim story, one of the darkest in the Pokemon universe so far. So if you're prepared to delve deep, deep into spoiler territory with me, get ready. We're gonna discuss Pokopia's full plot and ending and why it has massive implications for the franchise. WARNING! I AM HOLDING NOTHING BACK. This article delves into full spoilers for the entirety of Pokemon Pokopia's story! Do not read unless you either do not care about ...
