Lately, as Overwatch beta has been released, I’ve highly complained about its lack of competitiveness, because I was expecting something near the level of the most competitive games there are. By considering the amount of skill needed to be a great player, I’ve compiled a top 5 competitive games in the gaming industry in 2015.

5.World of Warcraft: Arena

Although World of Warcraft is not necessarily a competitive game but its Arena gained a lot of popularity and started to be played at major championships. This may be a boring game to watch on any streaming service but if you want to pay the subscription fee and raise a character to level 100 or level 110 which will only be available in the next expansion, you’ll see that the amont of skill you have to use in the Arena completly erases the boring factor. The Arena is truly acknowledged in the competitive scene as this year’s 1st place prize was $120.000. Maybe with the next expansion World of Warcraft Arena might get more popular.

4.League of Legends

Although highly criticized, even by myself, and always compared with other MOBAs, League of legends has made a name for itself in the gaming industry. With a widespread competitive scene, the game gathers over 30 milion online viewers for major tournaments and has managed to give some of the highest prize pools in the gaming industry. This year’s World Championship has reached a total prize pool of $2,130,000, the same as last year’s.

3.Counter Strike: Global Offensive

When it comes to competitive FPS games, you can’t compare Counter Strike with any other game. There was a time when Call of Duty managed to go head to head with Counter Strike but after Call of Duty started to release a game per year, Counter Strike quickly took the lead and became the most competitive FPS game of all time. It’s no joke that Counter Strike requires a lot of skill, aim, tactics to have a chance at winning a game, making it also the most hard FPS game to ever play. We can see from time to time in some tournaments that Counter Strike can be as frustrating as every other competitive game.

2.Starcraft 2

Starcraft is by far the most competitive game when it comes to skill, the amount of skill you need in this game is definitly over 9000. The amount o time it takes to actually start learning something about this game is too damn high. But people are still playing it eventhough the game is probably the most frustrating competitive game there is. Popularity wise, Starcraft 2 is the top choice for most people but from time to time, people get sick of this game and decide to take a break from it and this is the reason why this game is not my top choice in this top 5.

1.DOTA 2

Finally, the top choice for this top 5 is DOTA 2, for obvious reasons. The prize pool, which this year was over $18 million, the skill needed to defeat your opponents while helping your team mates, the competitiveness, DOTA 2 has it all. When you think about DOTA 2, it’s safe to say that it is the most competitive game there is, it may not require the same amount of skill as Starcraft 2 does but in this game you still have to help your team mates, and sometimes that is the hardest thing there is, because it requires a lot of trust.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
