AI is the bane of my existence. That much could've been deduced from so many opinions I've shared on the tech thus far. And it's not my fault, given how it's being used. Now, fake GTA 6 "leaks" are spreading, using AI-generated videos that deceive people into thinking they're seeing Rockstar's upcoming title. So one can understand the frustration. As per IGN, an account called "Zap Actu GTA6" on X has shared a supposed "leak" of GTA 6 that allegedly initially appeared on and spread throughout TikTok. The video depicts one of the presumed protagonists of the game, Lucia, walking down a waterfront, which, as the account suggests, highlights the realism and groundbreaking nature of GTA 6. The only issue? It's entirely fake. The video is fully generated using AI, and though you can clearly see it's neither super realistic nor quite close to what we've seen of GTA 6 thus far (including both leaks and actual trailers), many people were fooled. The faked leak can easily trick any person who isn't paying attention and just saw the video on their feed. Lucia appears in the faked AI "leak." Image via Rockstar Games In the time it took me to write this article, the video was deleted, and the account changed its name to Actuzz Mag, though it did first admit the leak was entirely faked. IGN captured some of the response before it too was taken down, where Zap Actu apologized for tricking people, as they were only having some fun, before adding that 50 percent of people took the bait, whereas the other half saw through it. While the technology is certainly not up there as a means to full, realistic, seamless video generation, it's certainly getting there. The fact that it fooled half of the people is incredible, and it's going to keep improving as the likes of Sora 2 (OpenAI's audio-visual generative AI tool) continue to develop. Countless celebrities, governments, and other persons and institutions have been copied, misappropriated, and used for, as I've said in the intro, nefarious means. They get placed in AI-generated ads supposedly "endorsing" products, other tools, financial decisions, crypto, and so on. I would say this never tricked anyone into forking over hard-earned cash, but unfortunately, that is not the case. At least in the case above, it's just a meme, but the implications of having a strong, accurate, and realistic AI are grim at best. I've even seen the prime minister of my country, alongside members of his cabinet, placed on ads advocating for Ponzi schemes, pyramid investments, and other clear scams, with the government barely able to do anything about it. People using these tools will stop at nothing, and it's only going to get worse.

Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive puts a lot of focus on Sung Jinwoo as the series' main protagonist, and you can build him as per the meta to make it easier for you to clear all the content. There are four archetypes to pick from, and all of them can be effective if you use the correct build. However, this guide will discuss a specific build that I have been enjoying a lot, and explain how to set it up in Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive. Best Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive Jinwoo build Out of the game's four classes, Duelist feels like the strongest option. Its attacks, when used right, can shred single-target enemies. However, the Duelist class is tough to master since you'll have to be good with your evasions. I instead went with the Ruler class. The Ruler class is arguably the most entertaining choice, and you can clear all the content on your own. The Ruler class is also the only lore-correct option as you use magic to raise Shadows to do your bidding. Here's how I have been personally distributing my stats. CategoryPrioritySplitAttack PowerMid30%DefenseHigh40%Magic PowerHigh45%SpeedLow/Ignorable5% If you're going for the Ruler class, you can almost ignore Speed. You won't have to move much on the field, as you won't be fighting alone. Investing in Magic Power is extremely important. It's your primary damage stat since almost all the abilities will scale accordingly. Screenshot by Destructoid You can also go for equal weightage for Attack Power and Defense. The key aspect is not to overspend on either area since you'll want to have a good balance between the two. Moreover, your key attack stat for the Ruler class isn't Attack Power (it's Magic Power, where you'll be investing most of your points). Best skills Here's my list of the best skills to pick if you're going with the Ruler class. Sustain Efficiency is vital when starting, as it will automatically boost your attack as long as your HP is above 80%. Keep the distance to avoid taking excess damage, and the additional attack will help you to eliminate enemies quickly.Gravity Drain: A Ruler build relies heavily on the Power Gauge, and Gravity Drain enhances its recovery rate.Shadow Exchange: Since this build has low emphasis on mobility, having Shadow Exchange allows you to reposition quickly. Finally, use Blessing Stones that will improve your Magic Power and Defense. You can also go for options that reduce the cooldown time of your skills, as it's essential for casting the Shadows.

Microtransactions are often argued to be one of the worst aspects of modern gaming. They are the primary drive behind "games as a service," and a way for publishers to rake in billions without actually adding to games. And it's fundamentally a good thing, or so Ubisoft would say. Assassin's Creed: Shadows has just received its first batch of Isu-related content in the form of a new quest, A Puzzlement, that ties into the game's main story. And, what's most important, the content is free, added to Shadows with no extra charge as an expansion to the overall narrative. This, apparently, would not have been possible without microtransactions, which Ubisoft argues help enable these content expansions. "Microtransactions, for all the flak it gets, it allows us to do the Isu stuff, the quest stuff, the parkour updates, all of it," said Simon Lemay-Comtois, AC: Shadows' associate game director (via IGN). Post-launch earnings, which are obtained via microtransactions (usually cosmetics that most Assassin's Creed games of the last 10 years have had), seem to be fundamental to the creation of these free updates and expansions, as well as keeping the games alive for longer than usual. AC: Shadows, much like other recent Ubisoft games, has skins and other microtransactions. Screenshot by Destructoid So it would seem microtransactions can be good after all, despite many players, myself included, holding a grudge against them in almost every way, shape, or form. I'd even argue microtransactions in the form of paid DLC or expansions, like Phantom Liberty in the case of Cyberpunk 2077, are a much better way of utilizing additional paid content and accumulating extra funds for expanding the game's content and size. Though, in that case, we would just call them transactions, since they are by no means micro. It's a divisive topic, and one that's been at the center of discussion regarding all of Ubisoft's outputs over the past however many years. Do cosmetics and skins have a place in single-player games, especially paid ones? Should someone who forked over $70 be asked to give more money lest they be barred from that cool-looking armor and weapons? Lots of questions, few answers, but it seems that, no matter what, they do play a significant role in ensuring these games get post-launch support. Alas, such are the ways of quarterly-oriented developers. The post Microtransactions are good, actually, Ubisoft claims appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
