Bleszinski: “Destiny Season” Doesn’t Let People Enjoy Lawbreakers
This will be the last news piece I’ll do on Cliff Bleszinski and Lawbreakers until a major development comes out. The very reason being that Cliff just seems to be enjoying the media attention he gets even while his game is still struggling to gain users. It seems like we have reached this sort of inverted Nirvana where Cliff just blames everything on everyone else.
Once again, I must remark that Lawbreakers isn’t a bad game. It has some great elements and competitive settings, however. It’s a game that died on arrival and people simply won’t play on it due to the low playerbase. It’s a very noticeable vicious cycle where Lawbreakers loses all the time.
However, it seems like Cliff is bent on blaming other games for the lack of success in Lawbreakers. I talked about the fact that the game released in an oversaturated market dominated by Overwatch.
This isn’t the “Real” reason why the game is struggling according to Cliff. In an interview with GameSpot the man responsible for designing Gears of War pinned the blame on Destiny 2. “Yeah, I mean, so the thing is, is we’re now officially in Destiny season.”
The designer then proceeds to talk about the game and how good it is in his eyes. “God bless Bungie for the fantastic job they did. The first one I played for about a week and I was like, “Okay, I get the idea.” But, it looks like the second one addresses a lot of those issues and is a, really, knock it out of the park.” Said Cliff.
When addressing the player base the game had, he decided to respond with the following: “it’s one of those things that there’s a situation where players look at numbers on Steam, that doesn’t happen on PlayStation 4. And I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but in regards to, you look at PC CCU health versus PS4, PS4’s doing fine.”
I think all of us get it, even though the chances of looking at the actual PS4 numbers are very slim. Lawbreakers is doing better on consoles than on PC, well, according to Cliff’s statement that is. Cliff speculates that the reason behind this is that players on PS4 just shell out the money without a second thought. – Which, what a respectful way to see your consumer base, Cliff. – And that PC users just want to see things triumph or bomb.
If this is the case, this adds to my argument in the Console VS. PC article in regards to money spending. PC gamers are being complimented for being cautious with their money while console players just recklessly spending without thinking. But that’s Cliff’s logic, not mine, at least I have respect towards both sides.

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.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
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.
