After Nintendo essentially had the Switch emulator Yuzu shut down last month, Discord is seemingly banning creators of other emulators and their servers. Last month, Nintendo and the creator of Yuzu, an emulator specifically for Switch games, settled the former's lawsuit with the latter agreeing to pay $2.4 million in "monetary relief." As a result, you can no longer easily download Yuzu, making Switch emulation much less accessible, and it set a precedent for future emulator developers - one that essentially says "try to do this, and you'll be a whole lot poorer." Now, as reported by The Verge, it appears that Discord is taking action against other Switch emulators by outright banning the creators of Suyu and Sudachi, two new emulators that are based on Yuzu. According to a statement from Discord's director of product communications Kellyn Slone provided to The Verge, "Discord responds to and complies with all legal and valid Digital Millennium Copyright Act requests. In this instance, there was also a court ordered injunction for the takedown of these materials, and we took action in a manner consistent with the court order." Read more View the full article
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has received a small patch fixing the menu for the final boss' ****** screen, and I am overwhelmed with joy and jealousy. Slight spoilers ahead for the final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It's a bit of a staple for a Final Fantasy game to have a multi-phase final boss ******, each with their own unique ******* patterns and annoyances. That's all well and good, and with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth I didn't have all that much trouble. Except, on the very last phase of the final boss, even though I was maybe two hits away from winning, it got me with a one-hit-KO move. After that point, I was met with a retry menu that was worded so confusingly, I ended up having to do every single phase again. Read more View the full article

Prime Video's Fallout show has mostly gone down well with fans, though there are some that are wondering if New Vegas is still canon. The Fallout show finally released earlier this week, and in general it's been received very positively by both critics and fans - our own Alex enjoyed the show so much he installed both Fallout 4 and New Vegas, which should tell you how he feels about it. However, some story beats have left certain fans wondering if the beloved and Obsidian-developed New Vegas is still canon. It's somewhat understandable as the show doesn't make it the clearest just when it's set, and there is a moment that I won't spoil (it's not even been a week, we can hold off on spoilers) that at first glance seems it might have radically changed the canon of New Vegas. If you're a New Vegas lover, though, you don't have all that much to worry about. Bethesda design director Emil Pagliarulo was asked pretty directly by a fan on Twitter whether the RPG was canon or not, with the developer responding quite plainly "Of course it is. We've never suggested otherwise." In fact, Pagliarulo even outlined the key dates of when each of the games are set, and the show is set furthest in the future. New Vegas is set in 2281, but the show is set a ful 15 years later in 2296, meaning anything that might have happened in that time should make sense. Read more View the full article
Helldivers 2 players who have switched to the western front this week to deal with the Automaton uprising are getting ***** and tired of dealing with their character’s major weakness, *****—which the bots are more than capable of dishing out across the system. Players flocked to support one Diver who sparked discussion on the game’s subreddit on April 13, calling the constant barrage of ***** tornados and burning to ****** “ridiculous,” demanding Arrowhead devs make a fix. “It’s just silly and not fun,” the player said.

Destiny 2‘s newest mode Onslaught has landed well with guardians following the Into the Light update. Onslaught is simple: ***** the enemies, throw the batteries in the base, earn rewards. But a few clever players have found an unintended interaction with the batteries that have made life so much easier. Instead of throwing the ADU batteries into the ADU, you can instead throw them at the defenses you helped construct—and in doing so, repair them if they are damaged. A clip of the interaction from Twitch streamer Onpam was shared on April 13, and already the community is taking notice. Even better, the battery can be picked up, meaning that with enough time, you can use a single battery to fix all of your defenses before depositing it into the ADU for that all-important scrap.

Fallout: London is an ambitious project, a Fallout 4 overhaul set it what probably isn't be a "green and pleasant land" in the post-apocalyptic times. I mean, it might still be green but only because it's glowing. It's a big project, one that will feature Baldur's Gate 3 voice actor Neil Newbon, but it's had to push its planned April 23 release date back due to Fallout 4's next-gen update, which is set to go live on April 25...

It’s the age-old question: What good is an amazing *****-to-****** ratio in Call of Duty if you lose the game? At the same time, you’ve got to flex on the lobby with your supreme gunplay—so which is most important? Modern Warfare 3 players were split over the two metrics as discussion was sparked in an April 14 thread on the MW3 subreddit. One player questioned the point of getting ****** if you can’t close out your matches. “Every time people rant (or more rarely, brag) about the game, they cite their K/D ratio. No one really seems to cite the W/L ratio,” they wrote. While many players favored the win-loss ratio being a true stat to judge a player’s skill, others supported the *****-to-****** ratio simply because the main factor an individual can control.

The upcoming PC and Xbox game Manor Lords seems well-prepared to deliver an interesting strategic experience, but whether it will be possible to experience that gameplay in multiplayer isn't as immediately clear. Manor Lords has a big focus on medieval city-building, but it pairs this prerogative with a side helping of tactical combat gameplay. This ambitious vision is being carried out by solo developer Slavic Magic, and from everything that's been shown so far, Manor Lords actually stands a good chance of delivering on its core promises in a satisfying way.
