While it was bad for everyone, I can bet that it was particularly annoying forMonster Hunterfans....

We all go through highs and lows with our favourite live-service games. Bursts of enthusiasm, usually tied to new content launches, balance out the low periods of feeling like you’re treading water. I’ve been stuck in myFinal Fantasy 14rut for a couple of months now, and my usual tricks to snap myself out of it aren’t working anymore.

Summary If there is one thing that could’ve been handled better in the last year, it was the rollout of thePlayStation 1-themed anniversary collection,specifically the PlayStation 5 Pro modeled after the classic PS1. Unfortunately,only 12,300 of those consoles were made, and evenwith Sony’s best efforts, including a minimum of 30 hours needed in Japan to even have a chance to buy one, it sold out instantly. Fortunately, in the time since,a few restocks of the non-PS5 Pro-themed items, including a restock of the digital PS5, PlayStation Portal, DualSense and DualSense Edge, have happened....

Split Fictionlaunched on my birthday, which felt like a little gift from game director Joseph Fares to myself, handed down through the malevolent corporate gods we know as Electronic Arts. I therefore spent my afternoon playing it with a writer friend. It felt like an apt thing to do – we’re both gamers and writers, though one of us is actually successful and the other has a folder in their email inbox with, like, a hundred literary journal rejections....

Despite this small catalog, Blizzard has redefined multiple genres with its innovations in game design and player connectivity. Blizzard began modestly, creating basic platformers for the SNES before evolving into a juggernaut of PC gaming. Its games have reshaped the MMORPG genre and spearheaded the global E-Sports movement....
