Overwatch’s newest hero was introduced to the world of consoles two days ago. We’ve covered Orisa in some capacity here and were aware of her anchor tank advertisements. She was suppose to give Reinhardt a run for his money in a tank character a whole team could get behind. Was that design successful in its goal? Well, the community appears to be split at the moment. Some want her buffed and others say she’s currently fine, it’s just that people aren’t using her properly.

One player made this comparison. “Orisa is D.VA with 200 less health, no DM, and no mobility.” While this may look bad at a glance, others were quick to reply. “Orisa survivability isn’t her health or even fortify. It’s her positioning which she can do because of range and precision on her gun.” Unfortunately, more points where made. Some believe Orisa suffers from D.VA’s biggest drawbacks as well which includes slow movement, big hitbox and big critbox. While others point out that Orisa is an anchor tank and her playstyle should dictate moving gradually with the team.

Then there’s the debate on her counters. A lot of gamers feel Orisa has a ton of counters like Reaper, Tracer, Soldier, Sombra, Widow, Hanzo, Genji, Mei, Bastion, and even Symmetra can easily kill the new tank 1v1. A PS4 user even said, “Soldier just walks right up to her and can duel her basically. Lol.” A few players supported that notion and offered that Orisa’s movement speed while shooting needs to be increased or it will be “like D.VA all over again.”

However, the best argument we found for Orisa is below.

 Unlike D.VA though, Orisa has far better long-range damage, two defensive abilities, one of which prevents her being CC’d and neither stop her doing DPS like DM, an ability which can rip enemies off high ground and off maps (far more reliably than D.VA’s boosters) and a far more reliable ultimate. She can toss her shield out to save someone from an ability. She can block a charge from Reinhart – which is HUGE IMO. She can do a group buff which is pretty damn strong. She has a weapon that has a good rate of fire and damage spread. In the sense that she’s a bulky tank with a huge critbox. And they both act as spearheads and anchor points.

From our glances, the new character is a toss up at the moment regarding what the community wants. Only time will tell in what Blizzard will do with Orisa, whether significant buffs or slight nerfs. Have you played as the new Overwatch character? Do you agree or disagree that she should be buffed? Let us know in the comments below!

Helldivers 2 has quickly become one of Sony’s top-selling games in the US

Published

on

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Published

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Will Stellar Blade be available for PC?

Published

on

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.

Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
