The tactical first person shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, is following up on what they promised in their mid season reinforcements update. In the update notes there was a focus on their Health Program. The purpose of this Health program is all about maintaining game quality. This means they want to keep a steady flow of updates and other content being added to the game, so players won’t stop playing.

A large part of the Health Program is their Technical Test server. This serves the same function as the PTR in Overwatch. The server is an insulated environment where they can test new features separate from where it can actually do harm. If they add something new to the game it will go the the Technical Test Server first. This means that only the test server will be in danger of breaking. The test server will only be available for PC players in West Europe. The reason for this very specific area being chosen was said to be because “data suggests that they offer us the greatest amount of variables to get the best information possible from this initial test. This will also allow us to monitor the status of the Technical Test Server live, and maximize our reactivity.” There are plans to make the Technical Test Server available globally in the future. It will be accessible in Uplay when added.

This is where the extra good news comes in. Anyone familiar with Rainbow Six Sieges’s matchmaking knows that it is dreadful. It takes abnormally long to get into a match. So this comes as a relief that the first goal of the Technical Test Server is to help test and improve the matchmaking. It will be called One Step Matchmaking. They will just take ten players, split them in half, and then start the game. The matchmaking will also no longer cut you off from the rest of the game menus. While you’re searching for a game you would be able to customize an operator, or whatever else you would want to do. If the Technical Test Server helps fix the matchmaking then its utility will be proven.

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.
