Why I love Injustice 2’s story mode

Injustice 2 features a darker narrative where Superman has established a regime called The Regime after the death of Lois Lane at the hands of the Joker, leading to Batman's rebellion. Superman is imprisoned for his actions, and characters like Green Arrow and Gorilla Grodd experience significant changes. Green Lantern transforms into a Red Lantern due to regret over his past choices. While the game showcases various characters effectively, Wonder Woman is given a lesser role.

Arc Raiders players have been trading guns for binoculars, and it’s making for some incredibly cinematic on-field reporting that’s hauntingly good

Arc Raiders is a multiplayer game that features thrilling encounters with terrifying robots, fostering both camaraderie and betrayal among players. The game creates a cinematic atmosphere, with players documenting their experiences using binoculars and framing their recordings as in-world reports. These recordings mimic war correspondents' styles, utilizing claustrophobic angles, shaky camera work, VHS noise, and retro color correction to enhance the 70s sci-fi aesthetic. Players capture intense battles against robotic foes and other players, with notable moments including a massive Matriarch and a stealthy Leaper. The trend of cinematic storytelling is also seen in other games like Helldivers 2. There is excitement for future Arc Raiders documentaries, with suggestions for unique press costumes and 35mm film cameras to enhance player storytelling.

I became a full-time paramedic for strangers in Arc Raiders, and ended up showered with more rare loot than I could carry

A player in Arc Raiders adopted a pacifist approach by becoming a paramedic, focusing on reviving downed raiders instead of engaging in combat. Initially facing challenges due to players not waiting for help, the player developed a strategy that involved positioning near the center of the map, focusing on smaller maps, investing in mobility skills, and announcing their role to encourage cooperation. This approach led to multiple successful revivals and a more engaging gameplay experience. The player also received appreciation and valuable items from those they helped, although maintaining the supply of defibrillators was costly, amounting to over 50,000 coins per night. The player faced risks from other players while attempting to save others and refined their skills in danger detection and situational awareness. Their efforts fostered connections within the gaming community, including a memorable interaction with a player they revived after a kill.

How a Schedule 1 “investigation” kicked off a battle over Drug Dealer Simulator

Byterunners, the developer of the Drug Dealer Simulator series, is in a dispute with its publisher, Movie Games, regarding withheld profits from console sales and contractual obligations. Byterunners claims that Movie Games has not paid them profits from the console versions of Drug Dealer Simulator 1 and 2, while Movie Games argues that Byterunners is not entitled to these profits based on their contract. The disagreement intensified after Byterunners alleged that profits were contingent upon compliance with new production plans, which they believe deviated from their original contract. Byterunners has made attempts to resolve the dispute, including a settlement proposal and a formal demand for compensation, but communication has broken down. Additionally, Movie Games fined Byterunners 4.5 million Polish złoty for alleged failures to address bugs in Drug Dealer Simulator 2. Both parties acknowledge that clearer communication could have potentially alleviated tensions, but neither has taken steps to re-establish dialogue since the public statements were made. Legal confrontation appears likely as the situation remains unresolved.
