Explaining Why Tarkov Might Not Feel Fresh Anymore
(Intro) Raise your hand in you think that Tarkov doesn’t feel fresh anymore. And when I say that I mainly refer to not having the feeling of excitement for opening the game up and playing it. It has become such a part of your gaming cycle that you just kind of open it and go about whatever you primarily find yourself doing inside the game. Or you find yourself staring at that play button in the client, before simply closing the whole thing and looking for something else to play. Now there’s a lot of reasons for why you might feel this way. The most obvious is that for many of us, we’ve just been playing for so long. Even if we take breaks or skip entire wipe cycles, when we do inevitably return to the game, not much has changed. We might’ve missed an event or two, some new quests, but nothing that was so impactful across the entire ecosystem that we feel bad for missing it, or that EFT feels like a new game somewhat. In the last couple of years, that feeling of stagnation has only magnified as the launch of the game gets closer. It feels as though the game has somewhat felt neglected in favor of getting 1.0 ready, which I somewhat understand. But it still sucks that even things like the hardcore wipe sanctioned by BSG didn’t land the way we all hoped it would. Other than time played, there are other reasons why the game doesn’t feel fresh or even exciting in the slightest. For those that are new or still get enjoyment out of the game, I’m glad you are still having fun, and I hope that doesn’t end for you anytime soon. But for everyone else, let’s have a conversation about why Tarkov just doesn’t hit the way it used to anymore.

RW or ST? Which one to Take the Marcus Rashford SBC in FC 26
The Ultimate Scream promotion has brought another high-profile Squad Building Challenge: 86-rated Marcus Rashford. Players now face a choice: Right Wing (RW) or Striker (ST). Both versions share similar stats, but subtle differences in playstyle make them fit distinct roles on the pitch. With 5★ skill moves and a 3★ weak foot, Rashford sparks plenty of discussion in the FC community.

Medal of Honor (2010) is Intense
So, I've done a couple of Call of Duty reviews recently, and I've had an absolute blast with them so far - yes, that pun was intended. As fun as that has been, however, I wanted to cover a game that doesn't really get much attention anymore. This is Medal of Honor!

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
When Assassin's Creed II was released in 2009, it was a huge success. Gamers loved the Italian setting and the charismatic, lovable new protagonist and they couldn't wait for the next chapter in the Assassin's Creed saga.

The "Cod-ification" of Battlefield 6 is Ruining It
(Intro) Since its release, Battlefield 6 has proven to be a competent return to a series that has been missing for quite some time. 2042 did everything in its power to push people away, and even after they resolved many of the issues players had with the game years later, the damage was done. People assumed battlefield as a series was gone forever. But with this entry, even though it’s far from perfect, the bones and foundation are absolutely solid and a proper return to why people enjoy this franchise so much. And recently, with the release of season one, their take on a battle royale has also been added; free to play for anyone who would like to try it. And after owning the game and putting a little over thirty hours into it, I’ve been enjoying my time. And this battle royale has something for a lot of people too. However, even after just a few days, I already have noticed some issues that if not addressed properly or at all, will quickly spiral this mode and arguably the entire game out of control and create something that nobody wants. So today, let’s go over the battle royale mode, my general thoughts on it, the positives and negatives and then talk about season one as a whole package and why people are worried the “Cod-ification”of Battlefield 6 and how it’s potentially seeping its way into this game.

Why Are Fans Divided Over the Future of the Overwatch League?
It is weird to imagine that one thing that was once crowned as the future of esports may be at the crossroad now. The Overwatch League (OWL), which once was the jewel of the competitive gaming, has turned into the subject of discourse among fans, commentators and even former players. And others, just hope that the promise of a new era by Blizzard remains, others are also concerned that the spark that made the league very special is gone forever.

How Edge Servers Enhance Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
Individuals live-stream lectures, catch matches, post pictures, and make phone calls throughout the day. They do not want pages to take time to load with hiccups and prolonged delays since slow applications distract attention and waste time.

How I feel as a typical consumer playing online games
I've said it about business over and over again and yet I feel like I'm the only one who really cares about the value of money when it comes to salesmanship and customer service. What good is any product or service or item available for purchase or sale, if it does not have customer service to go along with it? This is how I as a typical consumer feel when being bombarded by app advertisements coming to view at Playstore or when I'm surfing online. I don't know the new "whatever" they are talking about and they expect me to fork over my money when I don't even know if there's a person to talk to about whether I like the product or service or if I need a refund for a bad deal.

Tarkov’s Season One Update is Somehow Even Crazier
(Intro) For anyone who has looked at the brand-new season one battle pass for Tarkov Arena, is anyone else slightly concerned with what they are seeing? Not only in the contents of the pass itself, but how things are now being obtained by players. The tone feels much different from season zero where it was kind of just hey, here are some cool cosmetics and some crates you can unlock if you want to. But it didn’t feel like there was this pressure to grind the whole thing out. I guess the biggest upside was that the pass lasted for what, three months? It felt like a long time, so anyone who wanted to engage with it had plenty of time to do so. But with this new pass, we or at the very least I am unsure from what I’ve read online if it will go away come 1.0s launch or if it’s going to stick around for as long. But let’s get into now both the free and paid passes and see what about them creates this slippery slope that I think a lot of us expected, but not in the way it was implemented.
