Dishonored 2 Karnaca

Dishonored 2 was confirmed at Bethesda’s E3 press conference last week, and now the first details of the long awaited sequel to the stealth hit Dishonored are coming in. Dishonored 2 will take place in Karnaca, an entirely new city in an entirely new region. With Dishonored 1 taking place within the streets of Dunwall, fans are excited to see more of the empire.

Dishonored 2 takes us to Karnaca, the capital city of Serkonos at the southernmost end of the empire. It’s known as a cultural hub, a metropolis where people from all over the empire, with all of their cultures and customs, mix together. The city is a popular tourist destination for the upper classes. It’s also got some pretty tough police, called the Grand Serkonan Guard, that will likely serve as the main enemy force in Dishonored 2.

As for Serkonos, the country where Dishonored 2 will take us, it is known as the “Jewel Of The South.” Famous for its vast beaches and warm climate, it’s where wealthy of the empire go for a relaxing getaway. It’s also famous for its spicy cuisine and traditional dances, which children learn early in life. Remember the blood sausages Corvo could eat throughout Dishonored 1? That’s actually a Serkonan recipe. Sounds delicious.

While many fans of Dishonored 1 may not have even heard of Serkonos or its capital Karnaca before the announcement of Dishonored 2, the choice to use this land as the next game’s location is no coincidence. Both Corvo and Daud, the only two playable characters from Dishonored 2, were born in Serkonos. In fact, Corvo is the first person ever to hold the position of Royal Protector who was born outside of Gristol (of which Dunwall is capital).

Dishonored 2 may also reveal some interesting details about the events of the first game. There’s an old Serkonan poem called “Death in the Month of Songs” that strongly alludes to the rat plague that wreaks havoc in Dishonored 1.

Fans of Final Fantasy 16 disagree as new debate over the squeeze gap begins

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list.  The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:

  1. Sony Interactive Entertainment
  2. Paradox Interactive
  3. Activision Blizzard
  4. Focus Entertainment
  5. Take-Two Interactive
  6. Capcom
  7. SEGA
  8. Annapurna Interactive
  9. Humble Games
  10. Devolver Digital
