Rainbow Six Siege Might Remove Friendly Fire

If there’s something to be learned from Overwatch besides the fact that Loot Boxes suck. It’s the fact that no multiplayer game will ever be free of toxicity. At some point or another, a game will suffer from ill-willed users who won’t have qualms about ruining the experience of other players. Rainbow Six Siege is no stranger to this, especially when you consider one of the most controversial aspects: Friendly Fire.

Friendly Fire is one of the most controversial subjects to tackle in the world of FPS games. On one hand, you have the players being more careful and aiming their shots. On the other hand, you have a lot of griefers who don’t really care about team work and just help the other team because it’s cool, I guess.

The developers at Ubisoft noticed that there were a lot of toxicity complaints coming. Considering the fact that Rainbow Six Siege has made a spectacular comeback and became very popular among many. It’s obviously going to be plagued by tryhards or people who just want to see the world burn. The brand director Alexandre Remy thinks it’s important to get rid of the latter.

“Toxicity in Rainbow Six Siege,” says Remy, “as in many multiplayer and social games, is a very tricky one. Clearly, we are still lacking some of the tools that are absolutely necessary for fighting it. We have Battleye and a button to report players for suspicious behavior, but it is not enough, so we need to do more.”

Remy says one of the biggest issues leading to the most toxicity is teamkilling. Tackling the issue will be no easy task, but they are heavily thinking about removing friendly fire altogether. “I think that would resolve a lot of issues and for entry players I think it is a very good way of avoiding those behaviours. Starting next year, we need to start fixing toxicity.” Says Remy

Could they remove friendly fire now that it has been very well established into Rainbow Six Siege? Probably not, but the end goal is supposed to be a healthier environment for the players. Still, this and other measures are currently being tested.

“Yes we will fight toxicity,” he says. “Yes we will put in place some measures like the reporting and potentially removing friendly fire in certain playlists and certain occasions. But before we do, it’s going to go on test servers.” With the upcoming Operation White Noise, it’s going to be interesting to see what steps they take moving forward.

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.
