For Honor’s Tournament is an Embarrasment; Ubisoft learned NOTHING
Remember For Honor? That game that got a lot of flak and lost 95% of its playerbase? (Only not really because Ubisoft said so.) Well, it just so happens that there has been a tournament hosted by Ubisoft for the game. You know, to drive up interest in the game and such. However, For Honor players met with an embarrassing experience that was plagued by exploits and cheaters.
The disaster waiting to happen in the Season 3 Tournament
Let’s start with something simple, one tactic on a particular hero (Raider) is so effective that there’s essentially nothing one can do to counteract it (regardless of character.). Surprise surprise, there was a lot of players and matches who used said tactic.
How about game breaking bugs that are altering players’ flow in the game? One of the biggest instances being when a player lost a match due to a bug. Here, a player is repelled from a grapple attempt and falls down, a bug which occurs on inclined terrain, and certainly can be used against other players.
And to top it all off, the biggest failure of them all. The winner of the whole thing admitted to use an exploit called “Unlock Tech”. This is a technique that changes certain properties of the abilities and moves in the game if preformed at particular times (for instance, it can make certain attacks bypass one’s block, or make attacks faster, etc.). It doesn’t help with the creative director giving the guy a thumbs up in this clip.
This blatantly shows how much Ubisoft has learned from their mistakes on the game. Or rather, how they have learned NOTHING in regards of a competitive game. People are questioning a lot of the changes made to heroes in Overwatch and Ubisoft thinks they can get away scot free with their buggy gameplay and overpowered heroes?
Community and Outsider backlash. When are you fixing this?
The community is downright embarrassed about this as well. Since these issues have been discussed since even before the tournament began. For Honor is theoretically supposed to be a fighting game, but this tournament has potentially shown to thousands of people just how thin the game is when it comes to prize money, fame and glory.
I mean, who can blame the contestants? They have a very easy access to a win and they have to use it. It’s not like it’s their fault for not using a way to win. However, that means I’m placing everything on Ubisoft. Because these issues should’ve been dealt with from the beginning. The stupid game already has enough of a bad press (I didn’t even touch it and I’m glad I dodged that bullet). And they want to keep pretending like they aren’t losing players? I’m sorry, but that’s not how this works. Fix your game Ubisoft.
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.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
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.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

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.
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.
