Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet Review – Immersive MMORPG In The World Of GGO

Sword Art Online (SAO) is a popular anime that has seen many games being developed from the IP to provide players the experience Kirito had. However, despite the number of SAO games that was released, none of them actually satisfies players due to the fact that it follows closely towards the story in the anime which means – it’s predictable. As an RPG where players are immersed into a VRMMORPG – the creator, Dimps, has put in their effort which allows us to feel natural and play as another version of ourselves venturing into a new VRMMO game.

That being said, like what we usually do before entering an MMORPG, we create our character either to resemble our fantasy or adorn them with funny decals and attachments to make them as hideous as possible – either extreme. Don’t worry tho, if you dislike your looks, you can always change it in your room later so it’s not like it’s going to stay that way like our PC MMORPGs. Nonetheless, we had our fun time creating our character for meme sake before venturing into the actual gameplay.

Into The World
As we put on our NerveGear or AmuSphere after character creation, we will Link Start and FullDive right into the world of Gun Gale Online (GGO). Then, you will see your character enthralled by the fascinating scenery of SBC Glocken, the main city that you spawn in. You’ll be greeted by your real life girl-friend (sad) Kureha to lead you and teach you the basics you need before venturing further into the game.
Because GGO is a VRMMO, the map is an open world where you can traverse anywhere once you head out into the Wasteland Crossroads. Before you head out into the open world, you can form a party of up to 4 members which is pretty neat as you will get supported with Healing and Buffs. But here’s the interesting part, you will meet up with iconic characters like Kirito, Asuna and Sinon from the original series. If you befriend with them by focusing on single player quests, you will eventually be able to recruit them in your party as a CPU-controlled ally.

ArFA-sys Male

Speaking of ally supports, you will also get a “rare item” as you go through the long tutorial – an ArFA-sys who will be your assistant and support throughout the game. The AI will also provide you an Ultimate Fiber Gun (UFG) which works like a grapple that allows you to get to higher places for a better positioning when situations are needed.

Once you’re out in the open world, you will face robots and mecha-insects where you will grind for EXP and drops. There are a wide variety of guns ranging from handguns, snipers, rifles and machine guns with each to their own strengths and weaknesses. Like the animated series, you can also equip yourself with a photon sword (light saber) just like Kirito! Each of the weapons can also be enhanced and upgraded which allows you to focus on your favorite main weapon instead of a constant grinding MMORPG unless you want new weapons.
The Story (no spoilers)
The game’s story and events follows the ARPG by Bandai Namco for the PC, PS4 and PS Vita – Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. However instead of following fully from the canon version like the second season of the animated series, you as the player will be the “hero” in this story. Not even Kirito could steal that limelight from you! Of course following the series, the Death Gun incident will still take place in the game and you will be going through new events and obtain an element that was not shown in the canon universe which tells the story from a different perspective (your perspective).

While the game’s story isn’t pretty lengthy where you can complete it in about 30 hours, there are side quests which can prolong your gameplay. Like most MMORPGs, there’s plenty of grinding needed but not necessary if you are comfortable with your equipment and enhancing it to take on stronger mobs. Either you are out in the plains shooting random mobs or exploring a dungeon for loots, the game pretty much simulates the GGO world closely. Ammo don’t come cheap and they will deplete if you don’t use them efficiently. Though ammo do drop from the mobs occasionally.
Overall, the game acts as a prelude to the ending of SAO II. However, your journey in the game is mostly going through dungeons and completing quests to complete your ArFA-sys upgrades so that it can perform to its full potential. If you enjoy playing MMORPGs, the game actually plays like one even though it’s actually a Single Player game with multiplayer modes.
The Gameplay
The gameplay experience is just like an MMORPG, where you go around killing mobs, leveling up, defeat dungeon bosses and collecting loots to upgrade yourself. Following the story mode, you’ll go through quests that also rewards you with equipment and gold which you can spend on buying upgrades and better equipment. While the best part about playing MMORPGs are the dungeons, I’d say the fun part about it is always playing and interacting with other players.
There are multiplayer modes in the game like co-op boss raids and a PvP mode just like in any MMORPGs. Players will need to go to the lobby and either look for a room or create a room. When we were trying to check out the co-op mode, it was hard to look for a room because there wasn’t any. Only a couple of times when we tried searching for it were we successful at joining one. Maybe it was just bad timing on our end, or there were hardly anyone online at all – but considering that the co-op mode fighting raid bosses gives quite the reward, I don’t see how it’s lacking in players there. Even if we created a room of our own, we can’t start the raid because there wasn’t enough players to join.

Once we were successful at joining one as a team of four, we went ahead and fought a boss for better loots. The boss is determined by the host of the raid party where they can choose the level of bosses they would like to fight. Players will need to co-operate with the team to either kill off enemy targets, support with buffs or heal the team. Though it’s already very helpful enough with ArFA-sys around, players would usually just focus on what’s hostile against them. Ammo is also infinite in the co-op raid mode so that’s very helpful in spamming our bullets without any worries of depleting ammo.

Most of the time, we would just run around in circles trying to avoid being aggro-ed and shoot from a distance until the boss dies (run and gun). I’d say, that’s the most ideal tactic there is because the boss is huge, you wouldn’t miss it so it’s not that hard to dodge. Except that there is a timer to complete the dungeon which is within 10 minutes. If you can’t finish the raid dungeon in stipulated time, you fail. When all your teammates die, you fail.
As a PC-pro, I would suggest the game to be played on the PC as it is easier to aim on the weak spots as an FPS game. While there are some who’d prefer the auto system and are comfortable aiming with a controller on the console version, I for one preferred to aim with a mouse and keyboard. To each their own play-style, I liked the concept of the game and Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is one of the closest games to replicate the world of GGO.

The Review

                    Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet

8
Score

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a great game that offers an immersive gameplay like an MMORPG. The story is a bit short but side quests and a bit of grinding for the best gears keeps the game interesting for longer plays. Though there are too many dialogue cut scenes and static characters staring at you during dialogues, the game is still worth investing your time on your own character.

PROS
 Generous auto-aim controls Familiar faces from the original series that accompany you Immersive gameplay of what GGO is like Great character customizations and gear enhancement system that does not require grinding

CONS
 Slow and short story line Static characters during dialogue cut scenes

Review Breakdown

We give SAO: Fatal Bullet a 8 Out of 10

Clip Studio Paint announces subscription plan, and everyone disliked that

Clip Studio Paint has announced a subscription plan in an annual Update Pass, and it has not gone down well with the artist community. To understand why people are upset, Clip Studio Paint has often been championed as an excellent art program due to the lack of subscription fees for Windows and Mac, with the monthly plan being the only choice offered to mobile users.

With the announcement, users will be able to keep their existing license, henceforth dubbed as “Version 1.x”. It will no longer receive free updates, over 80 of which that have since been released.

Starting from 2023, there will be a Version 2.x for Clip Studio Paint. Version 2.0 will be available as a one-time purchase, but any updates from 2.1 onwards will require an annual Update Pass. If you do not renew your annual Update Pass for Version 2.x, you will have to fall back on Version 1.x. The one-time purchase for Version 2.0 will no longer get official support whenever Version 4.0 is released.

There are other concerns that Celsys, the company behind Clip Studio Paint, may be embarking on something related to NFTs via the Metaverse Standard Forums due to the association of the word “metaverse” with said NFTs. However, going by the MSF FAQ, there does not seem to be an indication of the forums’ involvement in the blockchain, at least for now.
In any case, this only adds one more headache to artists currently already voicing their displeasure over their work being fed into a deep-learning technology for AI-generated art. Clip Studio Art’s announcement is experiencing a “ratio”, where there the comments and quote retweets – wherein users can attach their own comments on a retweet, hence “quote” retweet – outstrip the likes.

Being a business, it’s an understandable move. However, considering the fact that CSP’s selling point was the lack of subscription fees, many are seeing this as a “betrayal”, naturally making memes about the whole situation.

— Goth Spood 🔛 Art Fight Team Vampire (@Hell_Yena) August 22, 2022

We will have to see if this backlash is enough to get Celsys to reverse their stance. Until then, people are recommending purchase of Paint Tool SAI, another art program by a solo developer, purchase of which is also the appealing one-time payment for both version 1.x and version 2.x.

Take a spin on the Wheel of Fate: Early Access Review

The whole conceit of turn-based strategy games has given us plenty of incredible games, with its basic rules making players use their noggin to plan their next moves with precision. However, the wrench can get thrown into even your most well-crafted plans when changes happen with every step of the way…

Wheel of Fate is one of the newest turn-based strategy games out there, developed by UDX Interactive and helmed by industry veteran Mike Holmes. This title of his can be considered quite the Kickstarter darling, having its goal met in less than 24 hours! The game is available on Steam Early Access since 27 March 2020, for those eager to jump on the development train. If you’re wondering whether to opt in to the Early Access program, continue on to read our review.
Returning peace to the world as the Avatar of Fate

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Wheel of Fate centers around a hero (you) who is tasked to save the world of Providence from the influences of Fateless and Affliction. Your character will be a weedy one to begin with, but will gradually live up to the title of Avatar of Fate as you continuously face and overcome the challenges within the Labyrinth. Your progress will be reflected in the town of Kismet’s Fall, a perhaps ramshackle backwater with the potential to become the center of the world. As Avatar of Fate, you will need to guide and protect this town. Should you be successful, the various residents will be happy and productive, thus be able to help you in a variety of aspects.
A dynamic gameplay experience thanks to the whims of the wheel

Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

As the name of the game suggests, plenty of your game will revolve around the titular wheel, acting as the “lord” of the Labyrinth. With every turn of the wheel, the results of a spin will influence the entire world and changes the way the game plays dynamically. The wheel will basically be capable of “learning”, and will adjust the game, environment, loot drops, enemies and even dialogue choices! Needless to say, any decisions you make in one playthrough are more likely than not going to change in your next run.

Managing your town is important in Wheel of Fate. Kismet’s Fall needs the same care you shower on the Avatar. The most direct analogies you can make are seeing the population of the town as your progress indicator, and the buildings representing your equipment and abilities. With its own backstory, looks and unique purposes as well as having colourful characters, Kismet’s Fall hides its own secrets – what good fantasy town doesn’t? It’ll be up to you to uncover them as you develop the town!
Working the Active Response Battle system
Battles are turn-based, as mentioned, utilizing an Active Response Battle system. It’s easy to pick up, but hard to master, as it works to push your skills. The system needs you to respond accordingly in real-time, with the appropriately flashy effects when you nail it right. You’ll need to be at least competent with using your characters, defeating your foes with a mix of strategic choices, coordination and prudent decision making to maximize the effects from your attacks while simultaneously minimizing your injuries.

You’ll be able to start as a custom Avatar from four races: Ashar, Ikara, Rovar and Veikar. You can play around with the options to create your dream (?) Avatar, while you get flanked with a supporting party of unique races and classes that will act accordingly to your playstyle. Below are the classes currently available:

Champion: A close-range warrior capable of combo attacks and AOE
Arcanist: A mage with long-range attacks to murderize their foes
Chosen: A highly survivable class, the quintessential tank to draw attacks from enemies
Ranger: A specialized hunter in long-range combat to deal massive damage to foes

Throughout your journey, you’ll meet up with your supporting cast that you can add or remove from your party at will. You will also have full control over their growths and equipment! As you get access to these characters, you can choose to shift them into a different specialty to carry a more diverse set of skills to complement your other party members. To ensure they’d be in top shape, you will need to clear Companion Quests. Each of these quests will be able to raise the strength of certain party members permanently, granting them exclusive items or new abilities.
Verdict

Wheel of Fate is a unique RPG with an ever evolving AI working to keep in step with you and challenge you on your journey being the Avatar of Fate. The blend of turn-based with active system allows more active inputs from you, especially if you’re one who’ve found turn-based “too slow”. If you’re a fan of old-school turn-based RPGs, then you’re very likely to enjoy the game. The updates will continue to roll in until launch, so if you’re interested to provide your feedback, then go ahead and get a copy!

Hearthstone: Murder at Castle Nathria Q&A with Cora Georgiou and Edward Goodwin

Mystery settles over the tavern with the arrival of the Murder at Castle Nathria, Hearthstone‘s version of the Whodunnit Murder Mystery. That’s what Cora Georgiou, Game Designer and Set Design Lead for Castle Nathria, tells us in an email interview. Edward Goodwin, Associate Game Designer, also provided some answers, so do read on.

WELCOME TO THE CASTLE: Designing the expansion
Please tell us about the concept behind this expansion.

CORA GEORGIOU: I thought it would be fun to make a murder mystery expansion in Hearthstone, because even though the source material is dark and spooky, murder mysteries are often presented in a silly, comedic way. This transformation of dark and spooky into silly and whimsical is a very Hearthstone thing to do, and I think we nailed it in terms of art, voice lines, and flavour.
What was the idea behind the Location type card?

Tweet to @GamerBraves

CORA GEORGIOU: We’ve been iterating on Locations for several years now. We playtested with Champion minions (Barrens) – later named Mercenaries – that had activatable abilities on board, which didn’t end up sticking. We tried again with Objectives (Voyage to the Sunken City), which also featured in Fractured in Alterac Valley.
From the start, we knew we were going to commit to making Locations as a new card type, and here they are over a year later! The idea was to be able to design these consistent tools for decks to use that players would be able to rely on having at the right time because they can’t be easily destroyed. We also wanted to be able to represent the different settings and environments in Hearthstone, because that’s something we’ve loved ever since Quests in Journey to Un’Goro.

How challenging was it to implement the “Infuse” keyword into the gameplay?
CORA GEORGIOU: Implementing “Infuse” wasn’t difficult, but deciding what it would do, was. For months, we tested a version where Infuse would transform mana into anima, with you spending anima for bonus effects. It was interesting but not very consistent, and didn’t feel any different from the normal mana system. The version of Infuse today is thematic, incentivizes minion combat that’s important to us this year, and is fun to play with!
Since this is the first expansion that ties directly into Shadowlands content, how was the experience working with the World of Warcraft team?
CORA GEORGIOU: We’re super privileged to have them as a resource! Being able to run the set by them occasionally to get their opinions on characters, mechanics, or lore is really helpful. It was actually the WoW teams idea to have Artificer Xy’mox as the Demon Hunter suspect, so thanks to them for that!

Following the reveal, fans seemed to really love the “Infuse” keyword. What’s the design philosophy behind it?
CORA GEORGIOU: One of our overarching goals for this year was to incentivize board-based gameplay and minion combat. “Infuse” is intended to encourage decks wanting to play wide boards of minions to benefit from powerful “Infuse” effects on cards like Sire Denathrius and Imp King Rafaam.
It’s a bonus that we get to capture our intended direction for gameplay and the story and theme of Revendreth and all of Shadowlands.
“Prince Renathal” and “Murloc Holmes” gives the impression of the developer team going more “extreme” and fun in designing cards. Is this a new approach or just something that aligned with the expansion’s theme?
CORA GEORGIOU: Hearthstone and us as game designers continue to grow and develop over time. We’ve established a wonderful baseline for card design and expansions that we feel comfortable breaking established rules assuming gameplay warrants it, taking appropriate risks if it means our players will have fun.
What was the most challenging part of this expansion?
CORA GEORGIOU: Finding the right execution for Locations and Infuse. We spent many months iterating on various designs for both mechanics with the final being very different from where we started. Ultimately, having ample time to iterate and playtest brought us to a final product with a good mix of theme, gameplay, and clarity that we’re very satisfied with.
Can you share any fun facts about how the team designed this new expansion?
CORA GEORGIOU: I’ll share one about everybody’s favorite Murloc Detective, Murloc Holmes!
Murloc Holmes would shuffle Clues into your deck. When playing a Clue, he would replace your hand with 10 suspect cards and give a hint to who the killer was that game. You would have to gather evidence and accuse a suspect of being a killer. If you were correct, you would get some awesome reward, though we didn’t actually figure out what that reward would be…

If you know how Murloc Holmes worked, he was really fun to play with. Otherwise, it was easily the most confusing card we have ever made in developing Hearthstone. Ultimately, it was too wacky and confusing, but it was fun.
SO, WHODUNNIT?: Gameplay Talk
How will Locations affect gameplay and strategy?
CORA GEORGIOU: They’re designed to be consistent tools players can depend on having at the right time because they’re difficult to destroy. We want players to commit to having some mana early on to play it since they’ll know it will be ready and waiting for when they can use it. We also want them to be careful on using their active abilities since they’d go on cooldown.
We think there’s tons of room to grow to develop Locations in the years to come, so we’re excited to see what they’d look like in the future.
“Prince Renathal”‘s 40 HP and 40 cards in a deck can disable some Archetype cards. What is the plan to resolve the possible problem of him having a huge impact on the game?
EDWARD GOODWIN: His effect on the live game is intended! While we didn’t  want every deck to get better by including Renathal, we wanted to give players a chance to opt in to longer-lasting, slower games, as the option for players to play Hearthstone the way they want to. We’ll continue to monitor how Prince Renathal decks perform relative to the rest of the decks in our constructed formats, but we’re currently happy with how players are using him.

“Infuse” comes with minions, but in terms of spell features, there seems to be no difference with “Upgradable”. What are the differences between these keywords?
CORA GEORGIOU: “Infuse” essentially translates to “Upgrades in hand after X friendly minions die.” It’s a version of upgrading with a specific set of conditions done in a thematic way. The idea of upgrading cards over time has been in Hearthstone for years now in many different forms (Spellstones, Galakrond, Corrupt, etc), but they all feel different and unique to their own expansions.
Some players are concerned about Evolve Shaman becoming the main archetype for Shaman again. What can you tell about the Shaman’s design philosophy?
CORA GEORGIOU: Like with any class, we’re looking to provide new and interesting decks to utilize Shaman from expansion to expansion: new archetypes, or revisiting old ones. Evolve Shaman is a contentious deck historically, so we knew we needed to be careful to make it strong, but not too strong. I think that because the overall meta around Evolve Shaman is very different from previous iterations, we managed to land in a good space.
That said, it’s not fun when a single archetype crowds out others, so we’re keeping a watchful eye on Baroness Vashj and her Muck Pools.
CASE CLOSED?
Are Location cards launching only in this expansion, or should we be anticipating more Location cards to be included in upcoming expansions as well?
EDWARD GOODWIN: We’ll be making more in future expansions. Locations are where all of the story takes place and tell an awesome part of the story of expansions that was hard to capture in other card types. Locations allow us to include these iconic landmarks and structures from all over the Warcraft universe while still being tons of fun to play with.
Players seem to be having fun guessing who murdered Sire Denathrius. Do you have any clues you can share with us?
CORA GEORGIOU: I will just say that a lot of great mystery stories have surprising endings. We thought it could be fun to have multiple endings, but ultimately, we decided just one would suffice. I think some may see it coming, while others yet will be surprised.
He’s alive enough here at least.
What do you have to say to returning players who may check out this really fun Murder at Castle Nathria expansion?
CORA GEORGIOU: It goes for any player who plays this game: I hope you enjoy your time in the tavern! At the end of the day, we’re making a game that is supposed to serve our players, and it’s supposed to be fun.
Returning to a live service game after time away can be really daunting, so we hope the free decks we’ve started giving away can make that process easier. We have lots of game modes for people looking to experience Hearthstone, and I hope that one – or many! – click with you.

Murder at Castle Nathria is, simply put, really one of the most flavourful expansions in Hearthstone yet. As Cora puts it, the team have tried to include many elements of the classic murder mystery and apply them to the equally flavourful cast within Shadowlands.
Thanks to both Cora Georgiou and Edward Goodwin for their time answering the questions, and we’ll see you next mini set!

[Guide] Cookie Run Kingdom – Should You Use Affogato Cookie

Cookie Run’s latest character is the illusive Affogato Cookie, a new epic cookie launching alongside the ancient Dark Cacao Cookie.

What can this cold, coffee-flavored cookie do? What toppings are best for him (yes, he’s a him). Find out below.

The Skills of Affogato Cookie

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Affogato is a bomber-type cookie that fights in the middle row, meaning that he is meant to cause a large amount of damage to a wide area of enemies from the safety of the middle row.
His skill is called ‘sweet scheme’. Affogato curses the enemy with the highest attack (and will prioritize cookies). The curse will inflict the target with a severe poison that causes damage over time and amplify debuffs. The poison will also spread to nearby enemies and cause them damage as well. During this time, the primary target will also not be able to receive any stat buffs
Here are the stat details of the skill:

Curse: Target can’t receive buffs for 10.0 sec
Amplified Debuffs: 30.0% for 10.0 sec
Poison: DMG every 0.6 sec for 10.0 sec, a total of 500.4% DMG (+6.81% per level)
Area Poison: DMG every 1.0 sec for 10.0 sec, a total of 150.1% DMG (+2.04% per level)
Poison dispelled: 300.2% DMG (+4.09% per level) to nearby enemies

The Best Use of Affogato Cookie?

Please note, that as with every new Cookie added to Cookie Run Kingdom new strategies and uses are still being formed by the player base but this is what we found based on first impressions:
Affogato cookie can best be described as a dark version of Eclair Cookie and Poison Mushroom Cookie. His skills give him the ability to prevent buffs and he defeats enemies via passive poison damage. This poison also spreads easily making him useful for hitting a number of enemies at once, especially alongside units like Latte Cookie which can bring the enemies closer to each other.
He is particularly useful for boss battles as his poison can cause them a great amount of chip damage for long periods of time while also nullifying any buffs they might receive and spreading to damage any minions they may summon. If you need someone to help beat that Dragon in Guild Battle, Affogato may be the cookie you’re looking for.
Speaking of Eclair Cookie, these two fabulous men make a pretty good team with one another. Eclair’s debuff skills combined with Affogato’s buff nullified and debuff amplifier means that they can slowly eat away at enemies’ health during PvE.
The biggest downside of Affogato Cookie is that he’s not so good in PvP arena mode as well as against cookie fights in general. Arena mode requires players to hit hard and fast and Affogato’s slower passive damage simply takes too long to affect enemies especially when an enemy Pure Vanilla or Cotton could easily restore their allies back to full HP before the poison can rack up enough damage.
Best Toppings

Being a cookie primarily used for dealing damage, Affogato would work best with a tried and true blend of searing raspberry and switch chocolate toppings in order to buff his damage and quicken his cooldown period.
Which would of these you should use more off is up to you depending on what you need him for and your party dynamic.
Who is Affogato Cookie

Affogato Cookie will be appearing in the newly released chapter 13 of the main story mode. He is a seemingly shifty character that appears in the Dark Cacao Kingdom after King Cacao Cookie has disappeared following his fight with Dark Enchantress Cookie at the start of the game. What could he be plotting? You’ll have to play and find out.
Here is more about him as seen in his game bio:
“One piping hot cup of dark roasted coffee and a frozen scoop of the sweetest vanilla ice cream! Born of two desserts—so different yet so delicious—Affogato Cookie’s flavor is unparalleled! Neither coffee nor ice cream, Affogato Cookie spent restless years without a place to belong until he came up with a simple solution: to create a land of his own once and for all! He appeared out of nowhere on a frigid night in the Dark Cacao Kingdom and has been busy earning the trust and favor of the locals with the help of his strange concoctions and mysterious chants. These are troubling times for the Dark Cacao Kingdom and the throne is empty… What sinister intention is Affogato Cookie hiding behind his snide smile?”
Will you be using this mysterious sinister cookie?

According to Good Smile, the figure will be available for preorder soon, though no specific timeline has been given.

Hololive EN Figures by Pop Up Parade
Similar to the Hololive Gamers generation, the Hololive EN figures will be part of the Pop Up Parade line, which produces high quality figures at a more affordable price.
Each of the 5 members- Calliope Mori, Takanashi Kiara, Amelia Watson, Ninomae Ina’Nis and Gawr Gura will be getting their own figures. No release date has been given for them, however.
While all of them got recent redesigns, the figures are based on their original debut outfits.
These announcements were made at Anime Expo Lite, an online anime convention that featured a panel by the girls of Hololive EN. The event has also released a host of Hololive EN merchandise such as Lenticular coasters, a smartphone stand as well as a T shirt featuring the talents.
Hololive EN
Hololive EN is the English-speaking branch of the Vtuber agency Hololive, featuring primarily English streams as opposed to Japanese. That being said most of the talents are also bilingual, having done collaborations with their Japanese counterparts. Considering the group only debuted less than a year ago, this marks the shortest time between a Vtuber’s debut and them getting their own figure.
Gawr Gura has skyrocketed in popularity, recently overtaking Kizuna Ai to become the number one most-subscribed Vtuber.

Overwatch
Winter Wonderland returns to Overwatch for this festive season. Starting from today until January 3, 2019, players can expand their collection of items through 2 classic winter brawls. For this year, Blizzard brought back two fan-favourite arcade maps, Yeti Hunter and Mei’s Snowball Offensive.

In addition, players can unlock new seasonal skins including legendary skins and winter gear for a reduced credit price. Furthermore, Blizzard has released 3 new epic skins for Overwatch which are Gift Wrap Bastion, Festive Reinhardt, and Winter Ashe.

On the other hand, inaugural season home and away Overwatch League team skins now come bundled for 100 OWL Tokens. Previously owned Overwatch League team skins will be granted their home or away counterparts for free. Meanwhile, more expansion skins will arrive in Overwatch prior to the new season on 14 February next year.

For more information, you can check it out in the Overwatch League website.
Heroes of the Storm

The festive season has brought a slew of updates to Heroes of the Storm. For the festive season, the game will run an exclusive Toys Event. Players can unlock various toy-themed in-game items through a Toys event quest, guided by The Kid. In one of Heroes of the Storm’s most extensive event quests to date, players will embrace their inner child and unwrap tons of items including:

Cuddlebear Stitches Skin

Cosmic Force Valeera Skin

On the other hand, the latter received a rework to make most of the Meat Hook as well as refreshing other skills.
Furthermore, the experience and armor update mentioned during this year’s BlizzCon has gone live as well. The update results in armor no longer stacking, making it more consistent with movement speed buffs and debuffs. The experience system was also refined to make games more competitive and closer than ever.
Stitches got both new cosmetics and rework for the festive season
Lastly, Blizzard added in a new skin for Leoric and a mount to go with it. They have also launched the Cloaken announcer featuring game developer Kevin “Cloaken” Johnson.

Path to Nowhere Closed Beta Impressions – Chief’s Legal Obligation to Say Fxck

It feels like it’s a running joke at this point wherein I somehow end up playing some game that is highly reminiscent of Arknights, because that is clearly my only game ever. Today, I’m trying out Path to Nowhere, currently accepting pre-registrations with a limited beta test running up to 30 September 2022, 16:00 UTC +7.

WELCOME TO THE MBCC
The game employs a somewhat more realistic, gritty art direction that already makes it stand out from the typical anime-style fare available. The characters definitely give off the more sultry, sexily dangerous vibes as befitting their status as your effective prisoners who each have their own incredibly powerful abilities. Dubbed “Sinners”, your power is the capability to bind them and have them obey you. Spicy power dynamics there.

There’s no option to change it to an alternate dub if you wanted to right now, with everyone fully voiced in English in the story beats. They’re actually quite good too, even if the text doesn’t always match the voice. The soundtrack didn’t particularly stick out for me in the early stages, but it has this jazz, noir feel to it.

The homescreen.
Characters have Live2D motion, so it makes them that much more lifelike. The overall presentation is quite nice if a little on the dark side. In your inventory, the characters are posed like their mugshots before more you see more details on opening up their profile. Right now, I can’t seem to find any artist info or voice actors, so I’d hope this will be updated upon launch.

You can choose how your player character looks like between the male and female options. I presume there’s more lesbianism in store for the female PC (granted there are male characters as well).
By the way, you kinda have amnesia. Have fun.
CHIEF’S COMMAND SEAL
The core gameplay has you pre-deploy units from basically your entire roster, so you’re only limited by the actual deployment slots. As you might expect, each character has their own skills, traits and class that are tailored to certain mechanics. The ones with the red gradient would be the more desired units I feel, as they are the ones capable of breaking enemy “cores”.
“Cores” grant enemies more stats, and breaking them will make them vulnerable and take more damage. Depending on the enemy, you might need to time when to break the core, as they may not appear right away.

Since your units are pre-deployed, you don’t need to adjust their orientation; so melee characters will often have a one-grid range in the cardinal directions, and ranged characters can more or less cover half, if not the entire map depending on their position. What’s different is that you are given a limited amount of times to move your units to any valid tile during combat to protect your player character who does appear on the field.
Character growth has you raise their levels, promote them, upgrade their skills, and basically improve their potentials through duplicates or tokens. I feel that regular levelling feels extremely expensive even for the initial level 20 cap, not even mentioning the materials for later promotions. There’s nothing too unusual here, besides collection bonuses for getting members of certain “factions”.

GACHA
At a 2% rate for SSR characters, it’s something I’ve come to expect in games like these. There’s a “spark” system at 80 pulls for the standard banner, though I can’t tell if this will get carried over to other rate up banners.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
In trying to be a grittier world of dubious power dynamics and broken systems, the way the characters swear so much makes it sound more childish than anything. Besides that, the art style is definitely fetching. There’s nothing in particular that stands out for me, personally, which is highly subjective.
It’s only censored in text.
The fully voiced story can be more engaging instead of reading lengthy texts even if it doesn’t fully capture my interest in the opening. I suppose I’m still a weeb and fully entrenched in Arknights to consider something similar, but by all means, if anything here interests you, keep an eye out for it.

Kalimba To Be Released Today!

Kalimba is a game developed by Flashbulb Games. Their upcoming game Kalimba is a novel puzzle platformer that was first released in 2014 for the Xbox One. However this time the developers are bringing it to the mobile platform for some mobile multiplayer fun!

The game emphasizes its cooperative multiplayer system which sees players controlling little totems in the game individually and working together to move past obstacles. The devs are porting that element into the iOS version, the iPad, which features same-device co-op for two players. That means, players can play on a single device and both players will take either the top and bottom of the screen to control their totem. However this feature cannot be present for the iPhone as there is no screen space for it. Instead, the game offers single-player campaign mode for players to play through!

Fans won’t have to wait long for the end of the current season of Guilty Gear Strive, as they’ve announced the planned dates for DLC character 8 and DLC character 9.

While most DLC characters tend to be months apart, this doesn’t appear to be the case- today’s Developer’s Backyard reaffirmed that DLC character 8 would be out in April, while also announcing that Character 9 would be ready by May- only a month later.

“While DLC Character #8 was regrettably pushed back to Early April, our team is hard at work ensuring that DLC #9 will be ready on track for scheduled release in May”, the update reads.
Arc System Works has done something a little interesting, having teased DLC character #8 months in advance, as opposed to the surprise reveal for most of the characters.

The teaser included footage from the game’s Another Story episode, which revolved around the character Delilah- leading many to believe she would be joining the roster of Daredevils.

They’ve also confirmed they’d have a special demo featuring the new character at EVO Japan- which is where the character is expected to be revealed to the world.
“Tournament entry is not required to try out the demo build, so everyone in attendance is more than welcome to stop by and experience the hype in person”, they said.
This isn’t the first time they’ve released DLC characters for Guilty Gear Strive close to each other- Happy Chaos and Baiken were also released with a similar pattern.

Genshin Impact: It’s time to go fishing

Fishing will be one of the newest additions coming to Genshin Impact with the version 2.1 update! Details about it have been provided through the official forums.

To start your fishing career in Genshin, you’ll first need to have unlocked your Serenitea Pot, and complete the “Exploding Population” quest. You will need to make bait; the Fruit Paste Bait, for example, uses Sunsettia and Wheat. Then, select the rod of choice and attach bait. You will only be able to use certain bait in the body of water you are at. Cast your line, and try to reel your catch in!

Ripples in a water body indicate a Fishing Point. You can simply interact with it to start fishing. Fishing Points refresh every 3 days, upon which the day and night cycle will influence the appearance of said fish.

Accordingly, different bodies of water will have different species of fish. You will be able to check the species available and accordingly select an appropriate rod and bait. Bait can be made at Crafting Benches. Examples of bait and species they attract are:

Fruit Paste: Medaka, Dawncatcher, Crystalfish
Redrot: Stickleback, Betta, Venomspine, Akai Maou, Snowstrider
False Worm: Shirakodai, Angelfish
Fake Fly: Koi, Pufferfish

Each region will have their own Fishing Association where you can exchange caught fish for rods, blueprints and more. Hold down the Cast Rod button to aim, and let go. Too far from a fish, and they’ll be less likely to hook, but too near will startle them. Keep your line in the Ideal Tension zone to catch the catch!
There will be places with more obvious ripples, indicating the presence of Ornamental Fish. These can be raised in a pond in your Serenitea Pot, on redeeming the blueprint from the Liyue Fishing Association.

The Division Resurgence Preview – Crossing the Divide Into Mobile

After The Division 1 and 2, comes the third game in Tom Clancy’s third person shooter RPG series, The Division Resurgence, a mobile title. We had an early look at the game thanks to our friends at Ubisoft, so here’s everything that we know so far:

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Story and World
Once again, players take on the role of an agent of The Division, having to save what’s left of the collapsing society in Manhattan, New York City. The game will first take place at the very beginning of The Division 1 with the First Wave. The meat of The Division Resurgence however, happens right after the events of The Division 1, with players being able to experience the next chapter of The Division universe.
Newcomers and The Division veterans alike can rediscover the world of post-apocalyptic New York. There will be new villains and factions in the game, such as the Freemen—a faction that consists of scientists, craftsmen and engineers who are trying to survive in a collapsing New York City. From scavenging to looting and building their own weapons, the Freemen are one of the forces in the city that players can go up against.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

On top of the new story, the city of New York has also been redesigned into an open world map for mobile devices. Players can roam and explore the city at their own pace as they face new and unique enemy archetypes, with some even capable of using drones which can be a challenge to take down.

Gameplay
Fans of previous The Division titles will be pleased to know that Resurgence retains the meat and bones of the series’ gameplay. Combat is promised to have the same tactical feel as the console titles, with the cover system making a comeback in the game. The looter shooter aspects as well as Specializations from The Division 2 are also present, offering customisation in terms of skills, weapons and equipment for players to play around with.
This time around, Specializations can be chosen at the start of The Division Resurgence. Vanguards can scan and spot enemy targets while Demolitionists have access to seeker mines which seek out enemy targets. As players progress in the game, new Specializations can be unlocked and swapped on the fly while keeping progression in each Specialization. This opens up greater room for experimentation, letting players choose their playstyle and adapt to the different challenges of the game. Furthermore, new gadgets and new signature abilities that have never been seen in earlier The Division titles will make their debut in Resurgence. According to Ubisoft, six Specializations will be available during the official launch, with additional specializations being added in future updates.

The gameplay has also been revamped to fit mobile users, especially in terms of time spent per game session. The time needed for missions, activities and encounters has been reduced, giving players the flexibility to be able to play in short bursts such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes or longer sessions up to 2 to 3 hours.
Besides the main story missions, the Dark Zone will also make a return in The Division Resurgence. Just like in earlier titles, the Dark Zone is a completely separate area where players can find the best loot. However, it is also regarded as the most dangerous region as it is both a PvE zone containing the most dangerous NPCs and a PvP zone where players can go Rogue and attack other players to sabotage item extractions and claim their loot and rewards. Players can venture into the Dark Zone solo or with friends, with no time limit or limited lives. Loot acquired in the Dark Zone must also be extracted and decontaminated before it is usable. For a more competitive experience, Skirmish and Domination modes will also be available.
In addition, controls in the game will be fully customizable, with players being able to change them according to their preferences. The game will also support controllers and gamepads.

Social Aspect
Ubisoft also claims that The Division Resurgence will also have MMO elements where players can explore the world, meet strangers, team up and complete challenges together. Should players wish to play the game entirely in co-op, they can do exactly that. The game will also have a Clan system for players to gain strength in numbers.

Closed Alpha
While there is no fixed release date for The Division Resurgence yet, a closed alpha test for the game will take place soon. Players can sign up for the test through the game’s website.
To stay updated with developments on the game, be sure to follow The Division Resurgence on Twitter.
