Red Dead Redemption 2 Comes with Timed Exclusive Content and New Changes

The special editions for Red Dead Redemption 2 were announced yesterday by Rockstar and it looks like that’s not all. The company also revealed that the game will get some time exclusives on PlayStation 4. Now, we all know that timed exclusivity has been one of the most unpleasant trends in the video game industry. This is what happens when a console manufacturer decides to pay a certain amount of money to a publisher, just in order to not allow content from other platforms to be available for a specific period of time.

Unfortunately, it seems that Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to be part of this as well. So far, there have been no details about what exactly this timed exclusive content will involve, but it’s definitely going to be quite irritating for Xbox players.

The reason why timed exclusive content is one of the most infuriating trends in gaming is basically because people pay the same money for a game, but the content they get depends on the platform they’re going to play the game on. And that’s totally crazy.

We all know what happened when Sony had an arrangement with Destiny. The developer of the PlayStation 4 paid Activision to keep all kinds of things away from Xbox gamers, such as maps, guns and even full strikes. Then Sony did the same with Destiny 2 and quite a few Call of Duty games. Destiny usually has a habit of holding a lot of content back from Xbox players. But not only Sony. Microsoft has done exactly the same for Dragon Age: Inquisition and some other games, including Call of Duty.

Much to our disappointment, it looks like Rockstar decided to follow in both Sony and Microsoft’s footsteps.

Clash of Clans’ Town Hall 12 Newest Update Brings Bug Fixes

A few days ago, the new Town Hall 12 update of Clash of Clans was revealed. Now, thanks to a post on Supercell’s forum, we are able to review all the balance changes that are included in the update.

Similar to all defenses in Clash of Clans, Town Hall 12 has five different levels that change as you start gaining experience in the game. The balance adjustments that will be implemented can be divided into three main categories: fixing exploits, buffing troops that were underused, increasing rewards and loot. Also, the most important gameplay change is hidden into the patch notes. It looks like upgrading the levels of the game now requires players to place the buildings. This will make it very hard for the manipulation of war weight needed for engineering bases to be accomplished.

As we know by now, Supercell doesn’t like to spoil anything for their fans, most probably because they have various things to work on in the same time and they want to make sure they reveal only final ideas regarding update changes. However, one thing has been already confirmed. It seems that we will get more than one update this year, maybe as much as three or four of them.

The first big update was expected to launch in the first half of the year, so we should have some official news soon.

What has been unsatisfactory for most players up until this point, is the situation with Clan Wars, as engineered bases can handle much higher adversaries than their war weight. So we do hope to see some significant changes made by Supercell when it comes to the matchmaking queues for engineered and non-engineered bases.

You can download Clash of Clans on iOS and Android. We do not have an official release date for the Town Hall 12 update yet, but hopefully, it will be announced not far from now.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Update – What We Know So Far?

If you are an Assassin’s Creed fan you probably already heard about Odyssey, the upcoming game in the franchise. Nonetheless, Ubisoft did not reveal too many details about the game until now. We do know that we will receive more information during the E3. Before that happens, we are here to share with you everything we know so far, including rumors and speculations.

What will we see at E3

The official name of the installment is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It is not too likely that we will get the game anytime soon, as Ubisoft already released Assassin’s Creed Origins last fall. Nonetheless, we were told that there is something which will be revealed during the press conference, so we can hope for a sneak peek. There is also a chance that Odyssey might come out sooner than expected, as Assassin’s Creed had a tradition of releasing a new installment every single year.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey details

The news about the game was leaked by Walmart Canada, which has become a trusted source when it comes to game leaks. Another report which was posted by JeuxVideo revealed a collectible keychain. On the packaging we can see the name “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey” and it comes with some visual clues as well.

For example, the keychain looks like an Ancient Greek helmet. If we think about the name of the game as well, it is not hard to guess that Ancient Greece will be involved in the next game. There is also a small teaser video which has showed up online, in which we can see someone being kicked off a cliff. For most viewers, this appeared to be a reference to the 300 movie, which would confirm the Ancient Greece theory.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition 1.5.0.7 Update Download Available with Invincible Mode

Minecraft is a unique game that manages to combine fun and creativity. The fact that Minecraft allows players to use their creativity to create buildings, weapons and armor is what makes it so popular. However, there are multiple editions of Minecraft and this helped the game’s player base grow and Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a great example of that.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition

The original version of Minecraft was released for PC, but not everyone has a high-spec PC to play the game and the developers decided to release a mobile version of Minecraft as well. The game is available on both iOS and Android, and it comes with the same unique features as the original game. Another amazing thing about Minecraft: Pocket Edition is that the game is constantly being updated, thus giving players a reason to keep coming back.

The Latest 1.5.0.7 Update

Talking about Minecraft: Pocket Edition updates, fans of the game should be glad to know that the developers have just released a brand-new one. The new update changes Minecraft: Pocket Edition’s version number to “1.5.0.7” and it introduces lots of cool features. With that being said, let’s see what this latest update contains.

Invincible Mode

The new update is focused on one thing and one thing only, introducing the invincible mode. As the mode’s title implies, players who decide to enable it will not be able to die. Things get even better than this since the mode can also be enabled in survival mode which means that players will be able to fight off against all types of monsters such as the infamous Creeper and never lose.

The main reason why this mode is being introduced is because the developers want to make it easier for creative players who are simply looking to create cool looking buildings and don’t want to worry about enemies.

Pokémon Quest Update – New Release for Nintendo Switch

Just a few days ago Nintendo released Pokémon Quest for Switch and it looks like the game has been already downloaded more than one million times. Unlike other games of the popular series, the process of collecting creatures requires real patience and luck. This game will not demand your total commitment, but instead, it’s best to enjoy it over the shorter time spans.

The starting point of the game is a base camp, where you will have a chance to choose your own pokémons. You can decide to stick to your old friends known from Pokémon: Let’s Go, so Eevee or Pikachu, or opt to befriend others: Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur.

Once you select your three new companions, you’ll be ready to start your expedition. While exploring new levels, you’ll encounter countless wild pokémons, against whom you’ll have to fight. The battles in Pokémon Quest don’t require any special strategy, but they’ll give you a lot of fun. Every creature you own has only two moves available but using the right combination of stones, which you can find on the battlefield, you can turn your pokémon into a real fighter. There is an auto mode in the game, allowing you to advance faster through levels, but of course, you’ll have more fun if you control the battles yourself. Another interesting part of Quest is the fact that you can attract new pokémons by simply cooking in your base. Different types of food will appeal to different creatures and it’s only up to you to figure out the exact way it works.

Since Pokémon Quest is a free-to-play game, there are some limitations included in the gameplay, but you can overcome them by using real cash. Anyway, as mentioned before, this game wasn’t designed to keep you engaged for hours on end, but to give you maximum fun whenever you have some spare time. Soon, you’ll also be able to play Pokémon Quest on your phone, as a mobile release is expected to follow shortly.
