Any new online game is bound to have some bugs and glitches when it launches, but Genshin Impact seems to have had more than its fair share in the few weeks since release. This could be especially frustrating to players who only want to play it as a single-player experience but run into errors related to the game’s requirement for online connectivity. That’s exactly the case with error code 4206. If you’re seeing this error when trying to connect to Genshin Impact, here’s what you need to know about it and how you can fix it to get back to playing....

The fan-made GoldenEye remake has been shut down thanks to MGM and the James Bond license holder. Why haven’t we had a new James Bond video game in years? Maybe it’s because MGM Studios and Danjaq LLC, the James Bond IP holder, don’t want one. We can’t imagine why not, but it would make sense given how they’re actively stamping out developers that were going to remake GoldenEye 64 in the Unreal 4 engine....

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5 was easily one of the most impressive games of the previous generation when it released in September 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Since then, the game has been steadily evolving as itx expanded to PC and the current-gen consoles, adding game-changing features such as a first-person mode and Online Heists. It was a huge game to begin with, but it’s also offered a continually changing and expanding experience for loyal players....

At a glance, one of the most striking characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses has to be Petra Macneary. If her purple hair and tattoos are not enough to catch your attention, her unique way of speaking will certainly do the trick. As a foreigner of Fodlan who came all the way from Brigid, she makes a strong effort to learn the new language and culture while also staying true to her roots....

If you’re playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses then there are a couple of decisions to make before you begin the game. One is which house to choose, and the other is setting the difficulty level, which isn’t as straight forward as it first seems. Here are the differences between the difficulty levels. Normal Or Hard? The first choice you’ll have to make is between normal and hard mode. Your choice here will depend on if you’ve played the game before, how much you want to be challenged and if you’d rather just focus on the story....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the latest in Nintendo’s long-running strategy series, and it’s spicing up a lot of defining elements. The dating sim stuff from the newer games is back, along with even more same-sex options. The weapon triangle is gone like it was in Gaiden/Shadows of Valentia, giving you more combat options. Perhaps the most prominent feature is the splitting of story into three routes, forcing you to pick a favorite among three distinct houses....

It’s almost here! The long promised Black Adam movie, starring Dwayne Johnson in a role that the actor has spent over a decade preparing for, has finally screened for critics and a handful of fans. And the response so far? Well, we’ll call it mixed but positive. Early viewers (including this writer…and you can spot my reaction tweet later in this piece, as well) are praising Black Adam as an action-packed spectacle, one that is packed to the absolute gills with DC Comics and DCEU lore, and Johnson’s performance, while singling out the writing and pacing something of a mixed bag....

Today’s Xbox indie showcase brought with it a bunch of game announcements, including Rust for consoles, Moonglow Bay, and Nobody Saves the World. Another game that caught our eye was Loot River, a game where you float down a river collecting loot. There’s actually a little more to it than that. To start, the river is full of monsters that are all trying to eat you. On top of that, the river is constantly shifting through alternate realities, making it really hard to keep track of where you’ve been....

With the next week of Fortnite’s Season 5 firmly established, players are rushing to complete challenges. These are not quite as violent as fighting Ruckus, but these scavenger hunts grant XP nonetheless. Each of the new challenges for this week of Fortnite are Epic or Legendary. These do not give a new challenge upon completion, unlike the newest incarnation of regular challenges, but they do grant a bunch of XP. One of this week’ challenges is a search and destroy mission that tasks players with finding and destroying dog houses....

Cross play between various platforms has been a hot topic with this generation of consoles and PCs. Phil Spencer, the VP of Gaming over at Microsoft, has been a major proponent of this feature, even trying to get Sony on board to no avail. While Rocket League has been at the forefront of the cross play movement, Epic Games has also positioned its wildly popular shooter Fortnite to also become another leading title for this functionality....

How Predator will look in Fortnite has been revealed via today’s update, and one of the emotes to come with it is terrifying. Fortnite has reached a point where there is pretty much always at least one active crossover event on the go. In fact, one of its biggest to date starts today in the form of the Pele Cup. Epic has teamed up with more than 20 football clubs around the world and added all of their official kits to the game....

Demon’s Souls is the type of game that is rife with opportunities for online content creators to use for self-imposed challenges. For example, one Twitch streamer has already beaten Demon’s Souls without getting hit a single time. Now, one YouTuber has made another template for Demon’s Souls challenge runs that would make for quite the entertaining watch. YouTuber Super Louis 64 has remapped two DK Bongo controllers to be able to play through Demon’s Souls, minus a few key inputs, of course....

The squatters Cloud is tasked with defeating in honest competition in Final Fantasy 7 Remake are named after real-life bodybuilders. The global pandemic has made it feel as if things that took place at the start of the year actually happened about three lifetimes ago. In actual fact, Sonic the Hedgehog was only released in theaters back in February, and the world was gripped by Tiger King fever a month later....

You don’t have to be a fan of Genshin Impact yourself to know that those who are take choosing a main very seriously. Even KFC couldn’t pass up the opportunity to brand their buckets with Genshin guys and gals and cash in on Genshin-fever. The reasonable balancing of said characters, however, reveals an ironic incongruence between fan culture and the actual gameplay: any character can be viable with the right items, therefore choosing which character to invest in is far less important than spending time gathering gear....
