Battle Royale’s Struggle In Esports

Battle Royale has taken the world by storm due to the nature of being the most consistently fun and challenging game modes to play. It has attracted hundreds of thousands, more than likely millions, of gamers away from other modes. The reason for its popularity is obvious. Battle royale forces players to be tactically smart, resourceful, and have just the right amount of luck to win. It’s extremely fun to play with the added effect that it IS challenging. When a player wins they feel that satisfaction that they effectively out thought or outplayed the other team. It offers that rewarding feeling one can only gain by conquering overwhelming odds.

One of the problems Battle Royale faces as an Esport is less it’s popularity and fun and more the sheer logistics of it. The maps are huge, and the required number of players is also huge, the games are rather long and less action-packed than your usual team deathmatch shooters. Of course, these are not insurmountable circumstances. They can reduce the map sizes, create games that require fewer players. How a developer can do this and still maintain a balance I’m not completely sure but there it is a possibility at least.

The popularity of Esports continues to rise along with the popularity of Battle Royale expect to see attempts at bringing it into the Esport industry.  This adds a bit of a conundrum because only PUBG has really delved into the arena that is Esports. It seems obvious that other developers would at least attempt to bring their games into the esports arena but no one else has stepped up to do it.

Esports fandom is steadily growing as video games continue to rise in popularity. Compared to eight years ago (When finding a stream for the MLG Halo tournaments was near impossible) Esports has grown massively. Video games aren’t just for nerds now. An entire generation has grown up with advanced digital technology in every area of their lives much. Gaming is one area that has consistently grown with technology. Video games have the advantage of attracting individuals at a young age and keeping them interested for life. Battle Royale will likely see a more competitive version of itself step onto the platform that is Esports. What this iteration will look like, no one can tell yet. As with Esports when it was in its first stages we will just have to see what it becomes.

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.
