It’s no secret to anyone that eSports are becoming part of the mainstream culture. In 2016 alone it was a fact that eSports were taking audience numbers from other conventional sports. Now, a new study has presented the fact that men and women alike love to watch eSports events more than any other program of conventional sports.

CDN Limelight Networks has made a report on the latest findings on an ongoing survey regarding consumer habits. This survey has been conducted on over 4000 people from different countries, including France, Germany, India, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, United Kingdom, and United States. With some of the variables considered being age, gender, salary and education level.

There are many results that can be taken from the full report available here. However, we’re going to be focusing on the results by the male and female statistics in the 18-35 age groups.

While globally, people reported watching movies most often, followed by TV shows, news, sports, user generated content, and online video gaming and eSports. It’s important to note that eSports is more popular than sports themselves in younger groups.

As such, when you see the results of the survey. Online gaming and eSports proves to be an increasingly popular category with younger men, with 22 percent of American male millennials watching eSports. 18-25 Y/o males prefer watching eSports more than conventional sports, TV shows, news and any other type of program, with the exception of movies.

You can also see an increase of interest in women when it comes to eSports over traditional sports. However, it only happens at the age group of 26-35. However, the 18-25 group also shows an increased interest on eSports over conventional Sports as well.

This pretty much explains why so many companies are looking to the eSports scene more frequently than before. It’s obvious that a massive spike of interest has shown for the scene and the fact that eSports are on the cards for the Olympics (Although, it’s just a possibility) it become a norm to see eSports tournaments soon.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

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.
