A little advice. How do I plan for a future that’s so uncertain? Will AI take my job? If I go back to school and use AI to cheat, will I graduate and work for an AI boss? We can’t help you with any of that. But what we can do is provide some tips for Helldivers 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Oblivion Remastered, and other great games. So, read on for that stuff, and maybe ask ChatGPT about those other things.Previous SlideNext SlideList slidesDon’t Rely On Ex Pokémon In Pokémon TCG Pocket AnymoreImage: The Pokémon CompanyDuring the initial months of Pokémon TCG Pocket, ex monsters dominated the competitive landscape. These monsters are (usually) stronger than their non-ex counterparts, and they can come with game-changing abilities that determine how your entire deck plays. In the past, players could create frustratingly fearsome decks consisting of two ex Pokémon supported by trainer and item cards. However, unless you pair together very specific ex Pokémon, you’ll now find yourself losing nearly every game you play. - Timothy Monbleau Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesPlease, For The Love Of God, Defeat All Illuminate Stingrays In Helldivers 2Image: Arrowhead Game StudiosYou know what? Screw the Illuminate. I played round after round trying to get the Stingrays, also known as an Interloper, to spawn at least once, and those damn Overseers and Harvesters kept walking up and rocking me. In the end, I was victorious. A Stingray approached the airspace with reckless abandon, swooping in with practiced ease as it unloaded a barrage of molten death beams upon my head, and you know what happened? I died. A few times. But eventually, I managed to pop a shot off and I quickly discovered how to defeat Illuminate Stingrays in Helldivers 2. - Brandon Morgan Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesDefeating Monster Hunter Wilds’ Demi Elder Dragon Might Be The Game’s Hardest Challenge So FarScreenshot: Capcom / Samuel Moreno / KotakuAlthough Zoh Shia is the thematic boss of Monster Hunter Wilds, other beasts can put up a tougher fight. Gore Magala (and especially its Tempered version) are easily in contention for being the most deadly enemies in the game. Not much is more threatening than their high mobility, powerful attacks, and unique Frenzy ailment that forms the basis for your Corrupted Mantle. - Samuel Moreno Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesDon’t Forget To Play ‘The Shivering Isles’ Expansion In Oblivion RemasteredScreenshot: Bethesda / Brandon Morgan / KotakuWhether you’ve played the original Oblivion or not, chances are you’ve heard tales of the oddities awaiting you in the Shivering Isles. This expansion—the largest one for the open-world RPG—features a land of madness under the unyielding control of Sheogorath. It’s a beautiful world, yet so immensely wrong. But that’s why this DLC is one of the best in the franchise, so no matter how many hours you may have already put into the main story and the main world, you don’t want to miss this expansion. - Brandon Morgan Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesHow Long Of A Ride Is Mario Kart World?Screenshot: NintendoThe Mario Kart franchise has been entertaining us all for decades—even with sibling fights and fits of rage over losing a race from a blue shell at the last second—but Mario Kart World is the first game to go open world. There hasn’t been a truly new entry in the series since 2014's Mario Kart 8, so being stoked to dive into this exciting adventure is perfectly reasonable. Equally reasonable, especially given the game’s controversial price tag, is to wonder how long it’ll take to beat and what type of replayability it offers. Let’s talk about it. - Billy Givens Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesMario Kart World Players Are Exploiting Free Roam To Quickly Farm CoinsGif: Nintendo / FannaWuck / KotakuMario Kart World is full of cool stunts and lots of things to unlock, like new characters, costumes, and vehicles. The last of those requires accumulating a certain number of coins during your time with the Switch 2 exclusive, and while you could do that the normal way by just playing tons of races, you can also use the latest entry’s open world to farm coins faster or even while being completely AFK. - Ethan Gach Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesOblivion Remastered’s Best Side Quest Is A World Within A WorldScreenshot: Bethesda / Brandon Morgan / KotakuIt’s been a long time since I kept a spreadsheet for a video game, or even notes beyond what I need for work. I had one for the original Oblivion run back in my school days. Back then, I knew where to find every side quest in the game. There were over 250. Still are, but now they’re enhanced, beautified for the modern gamer. One side quest retains its crown as the best, despite the game’s age. “A Brush With Death” is Oblivion Remastered’s best side quest by far, and here’s how to find and beat it! - Brandon Morgan Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesDiablo IV: How To Power Level Your Way To Season 8's EndgameImage: BlizzardWhether you’re running a new build, trying out a new class, or returning to Diablo IV after an extended break, (a break in which you were likely playing Path of Exile 2, right? I know I wasn’t alone in farming Exalted Orbs!) Whatever the case, learning how to level up fast in Diablo IV should help you check out everything new this season, along with hitting endgame so that your friends don’t cruelly make fun of you! - Brandon Morgan Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesThe 5 Strongest Non-Ex Pokémon To Use In Pokémon TCG PocketImage: The Pokémon CompanyIt’s official: ex Pokémon no longer rule unchallenged Pokémon TCG Pocket. While these powerful cards are still prevalent in the competitive landscape, the rise of ex-specific counters have made many of these monsters risky to bring. It’s never been more vital to find strong Pokémon that are unburdened by the ex label, but who should you use? - Timothy Monbleau Read MorePrevious SlideNext SlideList slidesSome Of The Coolest Monster Hunter Wilds Armor Can Be Yours If You Collect Enough CoinsScreenshot: Capcom / Samuel Moreno / KotakuIt goes without saying that Monster Hunter Wilds has a lot of equipment materials to keep track of. The Title 1 Update increased the amount with the likes of Mizutsune parts and the somewhat obscurely named Pinnacle Coins. While it’s easy to know what the monster parts can be used for, the same can’t be said for a coin. Making things more complicated is that the related equipment isn’t unlocked all at once. - Samuel Moreno Read More
