Thronebreaker: How To Forfeit
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales utilizes the CCG formula for its gameplay, as you take on an opponent’s deck with one of your own. Sometimes matches will last three rounds, while others will be limited to just one. It’s often easy to tell when things aren’t going to end well for you, and that is when you want to forfeit and try again rather than finishing the whole match.
Forfeiting is actually very simple to do in Thronebreaker, and you can do it as soon as the match begins. All you have to do is bring up the menu and flick through the tabs until you reach the forfeit tab, which is all on its own. It’s accompanied with a cute little chicken icon, which seems to be the developer’s not-so-subtle way of letting you know what they think of the act you’re about to commit. Just click the button and the match is over.
Thankfully, you don’t have to live in shame for too long upon forfeiting a match. Options will come up shortly after your defeat that will let you either retry immediately or restart from your last checkpoint. Hitting retry will get you back in a match in no time, allowing you to get your next attempt in quickly.
While forfeiting is obviously a great way to save time when you know that you can’t possibly win, there are also times when you can use it to help you win certain matches. The game features puzzle matches that limit the cards you can use, though you’ll still be choosing at the beginning which ones you start with. Seeing as what you initially have at your disposal is random, you can just keep forfeiting until you get the perfect deck that will allow you to win the battle. It ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done if you’re really stuck!
Thronebreaker is available now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Be sure to check out our review if you’re debating on picking the game up, as well as our guides on how long it is and how saving works.
Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?
Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.
Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
