Rocket League is Going to Step Up its Report System

It’s incredible how long it’s been since Rocket League released. Since July of 2015, the community has grown to a very astounding 34 million players worldwide. While this is an impressive feat by Psyonix, the duty doesn’t end there.

Psyonix took the numbers into account and prioritized the need to ensure that Rocket League is a consistently-safe, harassment-free place where players of all ages and backgrounds can come together and execute the sweetest of aerial goals and backflip saves. This means that there will be new efforts put into the “Player Mute” and “Report” Systems.

The Rocket League Tweaks For A Safer Community

The player report system will now add a new layer of automation for offenders who use Racial Slurs. This ban system will automatically ban players from online matches when certain words are seen in reports filed by the players.

The list now has over 20 words and variants of these words, it obviously means it will not be made public. Considering the fact that people can easily make workarounds about these words (Just look at Smash 4’s racial slurs.) it’s for the best.

Each word has its own threshold, and once a threshold for any word has been reached, that player will be automatically subject to a ban. These bans will typically start at 24 hours, then escalate to 72 hours, one week, and finally, a permanent ban.

Psyonix encourages players to report and mute players who are using abusive language is the games. This is a good choice considering the fact that some games are defined by the community. And Rocket League’s community matters to Psyonix more than anything.

There has also been a minor update in regards to cheaters who tried to play the system in order to rank up in Season 4. The rewards for players who were found to be cheating have been completely denied. When the Reward Trails were issued last month, players who were found abusing the matchmaking system to increase their rank, were not rewarded for their actions.

Like I mentioned before, a game is only defined by its community, and it certainly is important to note that companies need to take care of those as well. Psyonix shows a step in the right direction by improving their report and ban systems, and with the system organically becoming better. The Rocket League community certainly can step up as one of the cleanest gaming communities.

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.
