In the vast deserts of Dune: Awakening, I find myself wandering alone, a ghost in a game that once felt alive. The thrill of PVP has dulled, replaced by an overwhelming sense of grief. The recent changes have left us feeling betrayed—boxes once filled with promise now echo with disappointment. Every encounter feels hollow, every victory bittersweet. As players find new ways to grief, I can't help but feel the weight of solitude pressing down. Where once there was camaraderie, now lies a chasm of isolation. The Deep Desert is not just a battleground; it’s a reminder of how quickly joy can turn to sorrow. 💔 #DuneAwakening #PVP #GamingCommunity #Isolation

Dune Awakening fait parler de lui en ce moment. C’est un peu le jeu qui attire l’attention, surtout après le succès des films Dune. Funcom a donc décidé de surfer sur cette vague pour lancer le jeu. Mais bon, comme d’habitude, il y a des critiques. Le PvP, apparemment, ne plaît pas à tout le monde. Des joueurs se plaignent d’un équilibre qui laisse à désirer. Pas très surprenant, en fait. Funcom a promis qu’ils allaient travailler là-dessus, mais on se demande si ça va vraiment changer quelque chose. On est un peu fatigué d’entendre des promesses qui ne mènent à rien. Le jeu cartonne, donc on pourrait penser qu'ils ont quelque chose de solide entre les mains. Mais là, on a juste l’impression qu’ils essaient de gérer une situation qu’ils n’ont pas prévue. Les joueurs parlent beaucoup, surtout sur les forums. Les avis sont partagés. D'un côté, il y a ceux qui kiffent le jeu, mais de l’autre, il y a une bonne partie de la communauté qui n’est pas du tout satisfaite du PvP. C’est un peu ennuyeux, franchement. La promesse d’un équilibre, on l’a déjà entendue dans d’autres jeux, et on sait comment ça finit. Souvent, c’est juste du vent. En résumé, Dune Awakening est en train de devenir un gros titre, mais les critiques sur le PvP pourraient freiner son élan. Funcom a du pain sur la planche pour satisfaire tout le monde. Pour l’instant, on attend de voir s’ils vont vraiment agir ou si on va juste rester là, à attendre des mises à jour qui ne viennent jamais. #DuneAwakening #Funcom #PvP #JeuxVidéo #Critiques

In a crowded field full of online survival sims, Dune: Awakening is kicking up storm. The adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novels lets players build bases, rid sand worms, and smash Ornithopters into one another. That last part has become a problem, and the developers are already looking into a fix.

In Dune: Awakening, they’re one of the many vehicles players can build that serve as both a resource and an end-goal of sorts. They require a lot of equipment and resources to craft if you’re playing solo, which is why most of them belong to players working in groups. It turns out that they’re pretty indestructible too, making them lethal weapons for ramming enemy players with in PVP. Reddit user Bombe18 shared his run-in with Dune: Awakening’s man-made scourge in a recent clip that blew up on the subreddit showing him repeatedly being accosted by multiple Ornithopters. Shooting at them does nothing. They’re unscathed by constantly smashing into the ground on top of him. At one point, he tries to wall-jump off a ledge and stab one. “Yeah sorry about this,” wrote game director Joel Bylos. “We have people working on fixing the goomba stomping ASAP.”Players have been debating the role of Ornithopters in Dune: Awakening since its beta tests last year. On the one hand, they’re a lot of fun and a cool reward for players to build toward. On the other, they sort of trivialize trying to travel around the desert and survive, the two things the game is supposed to be about. They can also shoot missiles, completely dominating the ground game. Now that’s real desert power. In terms of stopping players from griefing one another with Ornithopters, there are a few different suggestions. Some players just want the vehicles not to be able to be used as weapons at all. Others want them isolated to specific PVP areas. Another solution is to make it easier to destroy them. “Seems like they should just make guns deal more damage to them,” wrote one player. “They’d think twice about doing this if their orni could get wrecked by gunfire.” Another wrote, “Make Deep Desert crashes do significant damage. Two crashes or something past a certain physics threshold should disable the vehicle.”However the developers decide to address the recent outbreak of Ornithopter “goomba stomping,” Dune: Awakening is having a great launch so far. Out earlier this week on PC, it’s nearing a 90 percent positive rating on Steam with almost 20,000 reviews. The concurrent player-count is very healthy, too, peaking at just under 150,000 heading into the weekend. Unfortunately, console players will have to wait a bit to build Ornithropters of their own. A PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S release isn’t planned until sometime in 2026. . #dune #awakening #helicopters #are #039goomba

Image: Ollie Reynolds / Nintendo LifeLast year, we were kindly sent a sample of 'The Most Relaxing Video Games' from Ryan Janes, a lovely book that delved into a collection of games handpicked to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now, Janes is back with another book, this time looking at some of the best PvP games ever made – in fact, it's straight up called 'The Best Competitive Multiplayer Games', how about that! Much like the first book, this one doesn't merely list out a bunch of games and have done with it, but instead incorporates a lot of Janes' own personal history and anecdotes, making for a pleasant read from start to finish.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube814kWatch on YouTube It also happens to be chock-full of Nintendo titles; obvious choices like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Land, and Splatoon 3, but also games that might fly under the radar in the modern age: Pikmin 3, Warioware, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, and Kirby's Dream Course, to name but a few. Other platforms are represented too, mind you, with classics like Tekken 3, The Typing of the Dead, and Marvel Snap all featured. If you picked up Janes' first book and enjoyed it, then this is more of the delightful same. It's got lots of interesting facts that you might not have known before, plenty of cool choices that we perhaps won't have considered ourselves, and the product itself remains high quality and pleasantly big; a lovely coffee table book, then.
