If you can’t have one, take three

New World: Aeternum is an MMO video game that invites players to immerse themselves in an open world full of adventures and exploration. While not all critics have had the opportunity to experience this title, it is recommended that those interested try it as soon as possible, given that the dynamics of an MMO often depend on the community and the time available to play.

On the other hand, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is described as an exciting action title in the Musou style, similar to the Dynasty Warriors series, but with characters and elements from the One Piece universe. Many players have enjoyed the experience and fun that this game offers, considering it an excellent way to relive the adventures of their favorite manga characters.

However, for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 fans, it is important to note that around 70% of the game’s content is related to downloadable content (DLC), which can result in considerable spending if one wishes to access most of the characters. Despite being a love letter to the franchise’s followers, players should be prepared to make additional investments if they want to experience everything the game has to offer.

Therefore, it is advisable to take advantage of this free offer, but players should be alert to the possible hidden traps related to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, so they can enjoy each experience to the fullest without financial surprises.

Is the Xbox 720 coming?! Of course not, but the fans want to believe

It seems that people aren’t satisfied with the fact that next year most of the attention will be focused on GTA 6 and the Nintendo Switch 2, and they want even more excitement in the world of video games.

There are no consoles!

This is what happened to the Xbox channel in the UK, which, with the video of a green meteor entering the atmosphere, has hinted “Something small is coming…” and the hashtag “ScoreMoreWithXbox.” Normally, anyone would think it’s just a regular promotion they’re trying to hype up a bit, but on the Internet, we’re never completely satisfied.

There were those who took the opportunity to point out that they were announcing an Xbox portable, those who claimed this was a mini version of the original console, as they had already done with NES or PS1 and, of course, those who claimed to know firsthand that Microsoft was thus preparing the launch of… Xbox 720. If your heart skipped a beat at the mere idea, you might want to listen to the poor community manager, who explained shortly after, “People, please, click on the hashtag and take a look before guessing it’s the Xbox 720.”

And indeed: the hashtag ScoreMoreWithXbox leads to a giveaway of FC 25 where they will give away a controller and a personalized jersey. And it’s great, no doubt, but of course, the community, which was already expecting the surprise of the century, has been somewhat disappointed by the result. What’s the good part? That Xbox already knows there is some interest in a 720. Now they just need to design it, test it, make it, and await its -sure- success. What could go wrong?

Xbox is fed up with you not using your avatars and has made a drastic decision

In 2006, the Wii entered the world of casual video games with a bang, and both Microsoft and Sony were left bewildered. And the concept was very simple: have fun at any cost. In fact, one of the great innovations that the Nintendo console introduced to the public, and which has since been copied extensively, was the ability to create your own avatar by choosing everything from the eyes to the mouth, clothing, or facial expression. At the time, the Mii characters were an absolute hit that have continued to […]

Avatar? The one by James Cameron?

The most memorable attempt was probably by Xbox, which introduced avatars on the 360, first appearing in 2008 after a major update to the console’s operating system. And I know many of you think they were born and died there, but nothing could be further from the truth: they evolved and even in 2018 they had a reboot with a “new generation” for Xbox One.

But one thing is what they announced and another is reality: avatars have been set aside, relegated to mere cameos, and next year, they will directly disappear. Specifically, on January 9, 2025. And the reason? Logically, they are of little use, which is why the application to edit them will also disappear. The world’s smallest violin plays in their honor.

And what happens if you have purchased extras for your avatar – because yes, you could do that -? Well, if it was after November 1, 2023, Xbox will refund your money without any problem. However, they will still be alive, but in another way: those from Xbox 360, that is, the so-called “original avatars” will continue to exist and can be used in games and applications and games where they appear. For now, at least. If I were an Xbox avatar, I wouldn’t be very relaxed, to be honest.

More Xbox games are coming to PS5 and PC. And no, it’s not a rumor

Although Phil Spencer announced that other larger games, like ‘Starfield’, would never make this shift to multiplatform, it seems they are indeed considering it.

Old school gamers were amazed not only the first time a ‘Sonic’ game came out on a Nintendo console, but also the first time the two mascots, hand in hand, competed in an Olympic video game. That was in 2007, and since then cross-overs between exclusivities seemed to have taken a break until recently when Xbox announced that ‘Sea of thieves’, ‘Grounded’, ‘Penteniment’ and ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ could be played on PS5 and PC. And, oh surprise, there will be more.

Selling by pieces

If it weren’t for the fact that not long ago they assured us that the company is doing great, one would think they are selling Xbox piece by piece to the highest bidder. Although Phil Spencer announced that other bigger games, like ‘Starfield’, would never make this change to multiplatform, it seems they are considering it.

According to insiders, Satya Nadella, current CEO of Microsoft, has asked the Xbox division to consider giving more exclusive games to other platforms. And not just indies, but absolutely all of them. It hasn’t been well received internally, but they have even been forced to make a list of games that could and could not be ported.

It’s not a rumor: several media outlets like Eurogamer or Windows Central have confirmed it, although that doesn’t mean, of course, that we will end up playing Halo on PS5. A strange era begins for Xbox, which it had not experienced until now. And frankly, if you are fans of the company, I wouldn’t expect a new console after Xbox Series. It doesn’t seem like things are going great for them.

Which four Xbox games are going to become cross-platform? We have our suspicions

They have found the exact balance between fans’ anger and winning back their audience with an approach that blends charity and necessity. But there remains a lingering question in the general atmosphere: those four games… Which ones will they be?

The Apocalypse has loomed over Xbox Series X/S users through a podcast… And, truth be told, it hasn’t been that bad in the end. They have hardly suffered. Microsoft has assured that it continues to bet on the brand, that the Game Pass stays at home and that -oh no!- four games that have already finished their Xbox cycle are going to be ported to other platforms. They have found the exact balance between the fans’ anger and winning back their audience with an approach that is both charitable and necessary. But one question remains in the general atmosphere: which four games will they be?

Games, games, dubidú, if you don’t play them, it’s up to you

Indeed, we have some ideas, since they will be next-generation games and, frankly, there aren’t that many exclusives. Probably one of them will be ‘Hi-Fi Rush’, which may have the love it has only garnered from a small portion of the audience on PS5. In fact, it’s likely that it hasn’t even made a profit to this day, so betting on it makes sense. Just like ‘Sea of Thieves’, which has been sailing on Microsoft consoles since 2018, gaining a small (but consistent) fan base and would contribute to expanding its community. We’ll see if a game from six years ago still interests next-gen users.

Of course, ‘Starfield’ is a possibility, but Xbox probably doesn’t want to burn this cartridge until they see if their (a bit desperate, it must be said) strategy works. We see smaller games like ‘Pentiment’ or ‘Grounded’ as more likely, as they are the ones that are currently being rumored the most. If things go well, it’s likely that ‘Halo’, ‘Gears of War’, or even ‘Indiana Jones’ will become multiplatform. That’s how it is. With such a large investment from Microsoft in obtaining exclusives -bordering on monopoly- they have to give in somewhere. There’s no other way.

Los fans más fervientes de Xbox están rasgando sus ropas y perdiendo la fe… por un tweet.

It doesn’t prevent rumors (fueled by a simple tweet from Phil Spencer) from causing sadness and frustration among the fandom.

Doom! Sadness! Apocalypse! There may not be many die-hard fans of Xbox, but those who are, continue to fuel the “console war” even now, when it should have long been over. No, we are not in a time where being a Sega or Nintendo fan defined you as a gamer, and exclusives are not as important as to make a big fuss and fight over them. However, that doesn’t stop the rumors (fueled by a simple tweet from Phil Spencer) from causing sadness and frustration among the fandom.

It’s normal, mind you: when you base your entire personality on a very specific thing (in this case, Microsoft consoles, but it could be Nintendo or Sony consoles, or any other niche), if you feel like it’s about to break, getting nervous is logical. On February 3rd, the rumor came out that ‘Starfield’, ‘Gears of War’, ‘Indiana Jones’ and other Microsoft exclusives could be released (and continue) on Sony consoles. And, far from thinking “We will all be able to play the same thing”, Xbox fans have thought that a piece of their soul was being taken away from them.

Por otro lado, Spencer ha intentado calmar el fuego usando gasolina, declarando en Twitter “Estamos escuchando y te oímos. Hemos planeado un evento para la próxima semana donde esperamos compartir más detalles contigo sobre nuestra visión para el futuro de Xbox. Mantente atento”. Para muchos, fue un llamado a la calma. Para otros, el símbolo del Armagedón. Lo que está claro es que algo está sucediendo, sea lo que sea, y no a todos les va a gustar.

Microsoft ha hecho una apuesta fuerte comprando exclusivas, pero el retorno no ha sido inmediato ni grande: claramente Xbox Series X/S se está vendiendo menos que PS5 y Switch, y estas son decisiones lógicas para salvar el negocio, pero hay fans en Twitter que afirman cosas como “Me equivoqué todo este tiempo. Xbox no se preocupa por nosotros, hemos estado luchando esta guerra en vano”. Esta guerra. Estos términos. Tremendos.

There are even Youtubers who have cried in front of the cameras and influencers who have claimed not to be able to sleep after finding out that exclusives may not be such if the rumors are confirmed. It is certainly a hill to die on. And all this without having received any explanation yet. Possibly nothing they are thinking is so serious as to cry or worry beyond a “Well, let’s see what happens”, but we live in the age of exaggerated reactions to mundane problems. And the Xbox Apocalypse was not going to be any different, of course.

Pokémon with machine guns: on January 19th, a game destined to bombard the Internet arrives

‘Palworld’ is a twist on the classic game but much more violent, much more capitalist, much more terrible. And we only have to wait until January 19 to try it.

When Game Freak made the first Pokémon, they forgot something that could have changed everything: giving machine guns to Pikachu to take out the rest of the creatures to the rhythm of “Pika Pika”. Now, many years later, we finally have the solution: ‘Palworld’ is a twist on the classic game but much more violent, much more capitalist, much more terrible. And we only have to wait until January 19th to try it out.

The downside, depending on who you ask, is that it will be an exclusive for Xbox One that will go straight to the Game Pass from day one, so not everyone will be able to play it. But it’s worth it: your Pokémon, called “buddies” here, can do everything from working to dying in your factory to being enjoyed as a delicacy or sold to the highest bidder.

No one knows if this game will be good, but we do know one thing: the bugs will have guns and machine guns to use during combat because they can kill each other. Goodbye to the “fainting” of the originals: here we go all out. But, in addition, you will not play alone, but in a multiplayer of up to 32 people with whom you can build bases, enter dungeons and fight against gigantic final bosses.

At the very least, there is no doubt that upon its release it will be a huge success that may continue over time, when they add even more “colleagues” through DLC. There are only two real possibilities: either it is a fantastic satire of Pokémon or it is completely incomprehensible and we will forget about it in two days. Personally, I want to believe… but they don’t make it easy.

The gigantic Xbox data leak has been the fault of… Microsoft itself

They should have put a mirror in front of them.

Not even if they had announced the release date of ‘GTA 6‘ would gamers have been talking about anything other than the massive Xbox data leak, through which it has been revealed everything from joking (but every joke has some truth) about buying Nintendo to their plans to release the tenth generation of consoles in 2028 or a new version of the Xbox Series next year. Immediately, Microsoft started to find out who was to blame for the leak. But, it seems, they should have looked in the mirror.

And it turns out that these documents were only for the eyes of the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, an agency of the US government, which has been accused by fans of being responsible for the leak after it happened. But no. According to the judge overseeing the FTC’s case against Microsoft, “Microsoft provided the link on September 14, and the Court uploaded the evidence to the website established for this case.”

The judge continues, in a case that will go down in history for its clumsiness, “The parties have notified the Court that the version of the evidence that has been provided contains non-public information, and the Court has removed them from the internet.” On September 22, Microsoft must prepare a secure link to resubmit the evidence.

To summarize: when providing evidence in a lawsuit, Microsoft forgot to mention that it was confidential, and as is customary in the United States, the evidence was posted for anyone to see. If anyone is to blame, it’s themselves. In a prominent way because it has been an unparalleled disaster.

On September 21, Spencer and his team will do a livestream from the Tokyo Game Show where we will see what happens. For now, he has stated that “it’s tough to see our shared work showcased this way because there’s so much that’s changed and so much to be excited about now and in the future.” Oh no, the leopards ate my face.
