For Honor’s Tournament is an Embarrasment; Ubisoft learned NOTHING

Tournament

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.

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.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
