Relayer Review: Tactically Getting in The Robot

Starting as Project Stella, and going through development hell, Kadokawa Games has finally released their new RPG strategy game, Relayer. Developed by the team behind the God Wars franchise, the game carries the “New Age Space Opera” mecha theme with gameplay that fans of Super Robot Wars and similar franchises will immediately feel familiar with.

Regardless of its status as a new IP, who would have thought if Kadokawa immediately targeted the global version released simultaneously, including an English dub option. They clearly want to make Relayer a game that can be immediately recognized by many gamers around the world. So does Relayer live up to these expectations? Well, it has a few kinks in its mech armor but I’d say it has a lot of potential.

Storyline
The game takes place in the year 2049, an important period when humanity encounters an ancient alien civilization called the Relayer who intends to destroy the universe and cause a Gravity Loss disaster on Earth. The disaster results in many buildings and people being sucked into space. The main character Terra is one such victim of the disaster, losing her sister Luna and all of her memories before the tragedy.

Two years have passed since the tragedy, now Terra, who lives his life as a traveler, finds Luna is still alive. This might be a touching reunion, but Luna has become part of the Relayer squad, wanting to take revenge on humanity, and has stolen the Original One, the first mechanoid robot made by the Relayer and was used as a template for humanity’s mechs when it crashed into Antarctica.
Terra, who was accidentally dragged into these events, meets a mech pilot named Himiko, a talented Starchild from GT Lab who then invites her to join the Asterism squad to reclaim the Original One and fight the Relayers. Terra decides she will bring her sister back and defend the Earth from the relayers.

There’s actually a lot going on throughout the plot. Terra’s personal story to save her sister, the secrets of dark forces who want to destroy the universe, the power of the Original One, and also stories from the point of view of several other factions such as the military industry and space pirates. The fact that the developers are able to balance all of this and connect it in one big story is commendable, as it really makes the whole plot is much richer and not just focused on one character.
Even so, there were some inconsistencies with the writing. For example, some characters make jokes or cheerful expressions in the middle of serious or tragic situations. There’s also the fact that a character who “betrayed” GT Lab by handing the Original One over to the Relayer is still welcome back into Asterism, when they really should be transported off to space jail.

Speaking of characters, there are quite a few that you will meet in the game, especially the troops that fight alongside Terra in Asterism. Most of them are basic stereotypes but the big exception to this is Himiko, who manages to be the badass warrior of the group while still being super chilled and friendly. She was just fun to be around, like a real-life co-worker.
Tactical RPG Gameplay with Few Twists
The combat system offers tactical gameplay that is easy to understand, especially if you are already familiar with the genre. Before starting each battle, you are given several options to prepare yourself such as changing equipment and unit positions. In battle, you can control each unit by selecting several options from the Command menu such as Attack, Skill, Item, Defend, and Standby (this is especially useless as you can always use Defend when positioning units without SP cost).

The main key in combat is to always use the Stellar Gear that is best suited against a certain type of enemy. There are four different types of mecha in the game, namely Assault, Sniper, Tank, and Scout. Here is a brief description of each type:

Assault: An active fighter on the front line who relies on a two-handed sword weapon. There’s nothing really special about it other than the fact that they can do massive damage, but in some moments they can anticipate enemy attacks without getting hit while launching super-strong counterattacks (as long as the enemy is still an Assault and Tank type).
Sniper: Midfield fighter armed with a ranged rifle for maximum damage. If lucky, sometimes Sniper can launch Overkill which is a one-hit kill attack, regardless of how much HP the enemy has.
Tanks: Tanks are a very good type, they can fill the role of bait to attract enemy aggro while dealing solid damage. A very strong type and you must pair it on the front row with Assault. Not to mention that you can launch Backstab, a special attack that involves the roles of Assault and Tank that must lock the enemy from the front and back to launch a follow-up attack.
Scouts: They’re not that great in combat and are more of a support unit, but there was a battle where we were able to take down 5 enemies solo using just Mercury. Because of that, we think Scout could be a pretty potential alternative DPS.

After knowing the differences between each type of Stellar Gear, you need to know how to attack effectively without being hit by a counterattack. Counterattacks can occur when you pit Sniper against Sniper, where the enemy will always counterattack because both units are fighting from a distance, so the right way to handle each encounter is to attack the Assault or Tank type with the Sniper and vice versa.

Each unit also has Physical and Gravity attributes, where the damage given when attacking is determined by the attributes of each weapon you are using (Yellow is Physical and Purple is Gravity). This scheme should be very important for maximizing your battle tactics, but we ended up not really paying attention to it because there is almost no difference in terms of damage potential.

Overall, this game has a pretty good depth of combat system but is a little too simple at the same time. We think the most surprising part is the Turn Order design where characters have to attack in a set order based on each character’s AGI stat. It felt unnecessarily limiting for a strategy game and I would have preferred being able to set units in any order.
The best part of the gameplay for us is the epic cutscenes of each battle. All the attack animations look really cool, smooth, and packaged in good choreography. The impression may not be as crazy as in Super Robot Wars games which sometimes seem to be supported by special transformations and plot armor, but the battle scenes in Relayer feel purer because each unit is only equipped with experience and weapons that have been set from the start. The design of each map also looks stunning and feels like placing yourself in outer space, which of course makes each battle feel a lot more immersive.
Customization and Side Content
Customization in Relayer includes the option to change Weapons, Shields, Armor, and Custom Chips to maximize the stats of each unit. You can buy all the equipment in the shop you enter the intermission section before starting the mission, including the additional option to upgrade lower-class weapons so that they can be turned into completely new weapons. This can be very useful so you don’t have to throw away old weapons just to buy new ones.

Increasing the level of each unit is very important, but you should always upgrade their equipment and skills as long as there is a chance because the difference in the difficulty level of each mission can be quite large. Not to mention that your units can only level up by performing special actions and don’t die until the end of the battle, so having one or two units weaker than the others can be quite natural.

Apart from strengthening your units, there is also a Job system called Star Cube and it gives access to 5 different potential jobs for each type of mecha. To reach a higher job, you must unlock all perks in the skill tree from the first job using JP (simply skill points). Each unit will always be given a considerable amount of JP at the end of each mission, so make sure to always check the Star Cube regularly, especially when you know that there are various perks and important skills that you can access from it.

In addition, every time you are in intermission you can relax by visiting various facilities such as the Asterism ship and interacting with the characters to get to know them better. There’s also the Space Science Library which is basically a huge glossary to check back on the story recaps, character profiles, weapon descriptions, viewer models for each mecha.
Conclusion
Relayer managed to hold my attention throughout the entire game thanks to its interesting storyline and strong characters. The game is not too comfortable following one conflict but tries to give a wider picture of the world setting which is full of conflicts from various factions with different motivations. All of this adds to the mysteries of its’ world, such as the secret of Terra’s past and, the reason behind his sister’s strong hatred of humans.
Unfortunately, our impressions on the combat part are quite mixed, especially because of how the system can feel so simple and the turn order design is more suited to a pure turn-based game. Leaving that part aside, the developer managed to present the battle segment with slick 3D animation without compromising the quality of the graphics.
If you’re a fan of mecha games and anime, this is a game to look out for.

Pros
Cons

Surprisingly enjoyable story
Hard difficulty is still too easy

Combat is really easy to get used to
Some inconsistencies with the story bits (mainly character interactions)

Solid customization system
Turn Order feels to limiting

 Relayer itself is planned to be released globally on March 24, 2022 tomorrow, exclusively for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

This attraction’s a little more elaborate than USJ’s other VR rides in that you’ll be able to walk around with up to three of your friends as you explore the Hoarfrost Reach- the icy locale from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
You’ll be able to search for tracks , as well as gather resources to craft items while you look for survivors of the camp- all while building your score to compete with your friends.

Of course, it’s not a Monster Hunter game if you’re just wandering around in the cold. The highlight of the experience is a climactic showdown with the icy Elder Dragon Velkhana, flagship of Monster Hunter World Iceborne.
It looks like the ride will have some sort of haptic feedback, as it’s described that the weapons you use for the attraction will give you a sense of impact when you swing them at monsters.
It looks like Universal Studios Japan is really doubling down with the Anime and gaming themed rides, following the inclusion of Super Nintendo World as well as an upcoming Pokemon Park in the Osaka-based theme park.

Unlike previous events, this one has no new gametypes, only giving you rewards for playing the game regularly. Compared to other events like their Lunar New Year ones, this might be a little underwhelming, but it’s definitely fun to see Overwatch go the silly route again.

Pachimari is the cute mascot area that you can see in the arcades of Overwatch’s Hanamura map. It bears quite a resemblance to the Taiko no Tatsujin mascot, having the same cute expressions on its face. Arguably the sprays are the big prize for this event, since you can see various Overwatch characters interacting with the Pachimari-styled Zenyatta.
Admittedly, the lack of content is likely due to Blizzard’s continued work on Overwatch 2, which has yet to have a release date.

SINoALICE That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Collab Announced

Square Enix has announced a SINoALICE That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime collab for their popular gacha game.

Details on the collaboration are sparse, other than that it will be happening. SINoALICE is no stranger to crossovers, however, as they’ve previously had collaborations with fellow Yoko Taro stories Nier and Nier: Automata.

However, the SINoALICE That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime collab would mark the first time the game has crossed over with this IP in particular. The game has also previously crossed over with Higurashi When They Cry.
The game’s Twitter confirms that it will be releasing simultaneously on both the longer-running Japanese servers for the game as well as the newer English ones.

Assuming this collaboration is the next big one and that it’s coming to EN servers at the same time as JP, that would put it before other Japanese events like the Code Geass crossover, so fans waiting for that one would have to wait even longer.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime has a pretty self explanatory title, about a main character who gets reincarnated into a fantasy world as a Slime, and the adventures that follow. The series’ second mobile game recently got an English release, and its second season is out now.

HUAWEI Mate 20 X: The 5 Shooting Games You Should Play On It

Early on, we did a review on the HUAWEI Mate 20 X. The latest flagship in the HUAWEI series and yes, it’s still awesome as always. With its unparalleled specifications, technology and design, HUAWEI has brought their flagship phones into a whole new level as if this phone’s existence is for the sole purpose of gaming. There are even more for me to go on about but I’ll be focusing on shooting games that every HUAWEI Mate 20 X owners should play!

Before you get all excited, let’s just stop you right there because I’m going to explain why it’s so great about gaming on this phone.

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

First off, there’s the Massive Display that’s an advantage for shooting games, then the specifications that make the phone insanely powerful. Moreover, with technology that super cools the phone for longer gaming. There’s even an incredible sound system for immersive gaming and a huge battery-life on the phone for long sessions of gaming.
PUBG Mobile

Now, let’s talk about the shooting games that should be played on the phone. First off, there’s the PUBG Mobile, everyone’s favourite battle royale mobile game. By playing this game on the phone, it allows you to spot enemies very easily because the screen is so massive. Besides that, with specifications like GPU Turbo 2.0 technology, it allows you to play it on the highest graphics setting which helps maintain a stable FPS.
Modern Combat 5
Modern Combat 5 is a game with immersive storylines. So, having this played on the phone is a must. With the huge massive display along with narrow bezels, players will get to fully experience the game. In addition to that, pairing the display with Dolby Atmos-powered speakers will give you your own mini private theatre.
Free Fire: Battlegrounds

Free Fire: Battlegrounds is also a game of battle royale. Games like this will normally make mobile phone heats up easily but not for HUAWEI Mate 20 X. This phone is equipped with a SuperCool Technology that will cool your problems away. Rest assured as you play games on this phone. Then there’s also the battery life, a whopping 5000mAH Battery that allows a hardcore gamer to play until that heart’s content.
Call of Duty: Mobile

We were able to test the alpha version of the game on HUAWEI Mate 20 X and we weren’t surprised to see it running on high settings. Since the graphic for the Call of Duty mobile version is pretty high, having the latest Kirin 980 Octa-core processor on the phone helps run the game very smoothly. Moreover, with high settings mean huge consumption of battery life and that is not a problem for this phone because of the huge battery life. Aside from that, if your phone really does run out of battery, you can SuperCharge the phone for more hours of gaming.
Gameplay recorded on HUAWEI Mate 20 X:

Rules of Survival

Also a battle royale game, players can hope to play it on the phone really well because of the sound system. It has the Dolby Atmos-powered Speakers that allow clear hearing on enemy steps. Moreover, players can immerse themselves into the game because of the sound produced by it. Like the other two, players will play long hours on it. So, having a 5000mAH Battery life can be a huge help to gamers that want to play longer hours with their friends.
These are the 5 games that should be played on the phone but that doesn’t mean only these 5. There are still a lot more game types that should be played on it. What are your thoughts? HUAWEI Mate 20 X is now available in Malaysia at RM2,899. For more information regarding the phone, you may head over to the official HUAWEI website or Facebook page.

Luxury Bunny Costume Gacha Might Cost Around USD60 Which Has The Community Dissatisfied

Following the release of the latest update in Goddess of Victory: Nikke, the game added in a new featured called The Luxury Bunny Costume Gacha which has Rupee’s Bunny skin as part of a reward. This skin can only be obtained by spinning a wheel using premium currency which costs roughly USD10 (MYR48.99) for six tickets.

For those who are unlucky, the cost could potentially go higher with even some citing it to be at least USD60 (MYR273.15) due to the fact that the number of tickets required to spin the wheel gets progressively higher as more draws are made. This has caused the community to take their grievances online and share their frustrations with other Commanders.

One such member who disapproves of the Luxury Bunny Costume Gacha is Facebook user Bryant Rawls who commented, “neat bait and switch, why didn’t you tell everyone it would cost them $60?”.
Twitter user Karres23 states, “This is crazy in the past it was $20 to get a costume…. Now it’s $10 for six tickets to potentially maybe get first prize at least if each role (sic) was one ticket but it’s not….I love this game but this is the biggest money grab I have seen and I don’t like it one bit. Do better”

Technically you could get the skin through the single free draw, but locking a skin behind a gacha element instead of allowing players to purchase it directly makes one question the motives behind the pricing decision.
This is not the first time that characters have gotten paid skins. In the past they have come from the battlepass mechanic or as a direct purchase from the in-game store. However, the Luxury Bunny Costume Gacha is the first time that a skin is locked behind a separate gacha, let alone one that could only be entered with premium currency purchasable via real world money only.
Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available now on iOS and Android and you may find more information at their official website.

Monster Hunter Riders: A more comprehensive review

It’s been a little longer now, so perhaps it is time to give Monster Hunter Riders a more deeper review than the initial first impressions. The game is a strategy RPG that launched for mobile devices in Japan, if you weren’t aware, using the Monster Hunter IP as its base.

Overview
First thing’s first, it is a free to play title compared to the premium console games featuring gacha and various mechanics common to mobile games. Spend energy to play the variety of quests on hand, be it grinding out materials or advancing the story. Riders itself is based off a Monster Hunter spinoff, namely, Monster Hunter Stories. Riders has its fair share of story and accompanying cutscenes, which you’d definitely enjoy more if you understand Japanese.

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

Entering the battle sections.
While the name may be Riders, the players aren’t strictly able to mount the creatures except when executing certain moves. The battle is very similar to Monster Hunter Stories, except even further simplified. Commands consist of Normal Attacks, and other skills you have equipped beforehand. 30 SP is recovered every turn, which is then used to perform skills. As you might expect, striking the opponent with their weak element will deal extra damage.
If you’re looking for something meaty in strategy, Riders is perhaps too simplified with lots of game effects or toned down even after comparing to Stories, which was one of my original concerns. Fans of the series won’t be seeing the breadth of techniques from the mainline games, and Riders and Monsters will always share their HP pool.

Riders
It’s in the name, so this would be one of the key features of the game. Various unique riders are available, bringing their own set of skills. The characters have a certain energy injected to them thanks to the voice overs, and you can hear more of it by giving gifts to the Riders to deepen their trust. The armour designs in Riders are different from the main series, like how Mary sports Rathalos goggles.
Shino sports a Zinogre-themed set, but the main game doesn’t have those ear accessories.
As is typical of gacha games, Riders are available in differing rarities, from 3- to 5-stars (highest). The higher rarity Riders will have better base stats, as well as having more skills to unlock. The lower rarity Riders can’t be promoted into higher rarities, and their upgrade materials are accordingly different. At the very least, you don’t have to worry about spending too much on lower rarity Riders once you get higher rarity ones. The gacha system is the only way you can recruit new Riders.
Monsters
Comparatively, Riders doesn’t have many monsters available to start. However, we’d expect Capcom to gradually add them in as events, as with how the start of the game offers Rathalos and Lagiacrus egg events. You can obtain most of your monsters through events and quests, with a couple of them exclusively through gacha. The monsters also have various rarities, from 1- to 5-stars, as well as having their own skills. As usual, the higher the rarity, the better the skills available to learn.

Riders will have their base stats, amplified by their partnered monsters according to level, and changing their elemental resistances and weaknesses. This element of gameplay brings a little twist, as you juggle your stable of monsters from Rider to Rider. Riders can have some innate bonuses, that can get boosted with a monster with a relevant skill. Monsters will be bonded to a rider, but if you want to move them, you’ll need a Transfer Ticket.
Pros
To start off, without spending money, it is most definitely possible to start off right with a few 5-star Riders and monsters, with Capcom offering decently generous gems through quests, rewards and gifts. You can also try to get the best start possible with the first rigged 10 draw, where you’re allowed to reroll as many times as you like before you confirm. With how common rerolling is within gacha games, more games should have a similar system.

The game already has an auto play function that can also automatically redo quests, handy if you just want to leave the game on while you do something else. You have a variety of methods to farm up Rider and monster shards, such as through event trades or expeditions, for upgrades.
Cons
There is presently no PVP format, for the more competitive players. Rider equipment cannot be changed, so they’ll be stuck with whatever look or weapon they have, which might irk those who like their customization. The trailer for the game has showed off quite a few monsters, but the starting selection is quite poor compared to the Riders. We’d be expecting Glavenus, Zamtrios, Barioth, Ivory Lagiacrus, Pink Rathian, Azure Rathalos, Rajang, Deviljho, and Teostra in the near future.
Conclusion
Say hi to your homescreen.
For the Monster Hunter fan who also enjoys gacha games, Riders could be something for you to spend time on. For those of you who have favourite voice actors play some of the Riders, you can select them on your home screen to listen to them talk. The monsters will also be in the background, and you can watch them sleep on occasion just for some flavour. Definitely temper those expectations some with the game just starting out.

The statue was erected as part of a relief effort for the Kumamoto Prefecture after it was hit by a series of earthquakes back in 2016, one of which reached 7.0 on the Richter scale. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece who was also native to the prefecture, donated 800 million yen (about 7 million USD) to help rebuild the prefecture. To commemorate it, the government of Kumamoto erected statues of the Straw Hat Pirates, with Zoro being the ninth one.
Oda himself drew a special illustration for the unveiling. It’s also featured on a PokéStop in Pokémon GO.

Monster Hunter Board Game Kickstarter Raises Over USD 2 Million In First Day

 Monster Hunter the Board Game has officially kicked off their Kickstarter campaign today, raising over USD 2 million within 10 hours of its launch.

The campaign’s goal was to raise USD 210,000 within 9 days, according to the site. Unlike other Kickstarter campaigns, Monster Hunter The Board Game doesn’t have any stretch goals, instead using the campaign as a sort of pre-order for the base game and its different expansions.

The Kickstarter page has also updated with more information , such as a trailer showcasing the basics of the game. Monsters behave similarly to Dark Souls The Board Game, using a deck of actions to give the monsters a sense of pre-programmed moves, that players will then have to memorize when it loops back around.
Meanwhile Hunter combat is made using a card-based system, where players will spend Stamina to build combos using their weapons. This means no dice, and just pure strategy determining how you’ll take down the monster.

The game also includes an adventure booklet, as you and your party will have to make decisions while tracking the monster. These decisions can even affect the monster’s moveset, and you can even explore for additional resources. Just like in regular Monster Hunter though, you’ll have to be aware of the Quest Timer, and take care not to spend so much time gathering that you fail to clear the hunt in time.
They’ve also shown off in more detail the game’s various miniatures, faithfully recreating the games based on their appearances in Monster Hunter World. These include weak monsters like Pukei-Pukei, all the way up to staples like Rathalos and Diablos, and finally going up to the Elder Dragons Nergigante, Teostra and Kushala Daora.

Update on the NieR Re[in]carnation English release

As the Japanese release of NieR Re[in]carnation approaches on 18 February 2021, the English release had no substantial updates, until now. In a letter released on the official English Twitter account for NieR ReIn, director Daichi Matsukawa said the following:

NieR Re[in]carnation Director Daichi Matsukawa here. My apologies for the lack of updates – please allow me to expain the current development status of the English version of NieR Re[in]carnation to those who are awaiting its release in North America and Europe.

We are currently in the process of localizing the English version and recording all character voices in English. We also plan to fix bugs following the game’s Japanese release so we can launch the English version in tip-top shape.
Once dates are confirmed for preregistration and launch, we will send out another announcement to let everyone know.
I apologize again for the long wait and any inconvenience this may cause, and ask for your understanding and patience.

Director Daichi Matsukawa
Localized gacha games from Japan, or from other countries for that matter, don’t typically receive English or multiple language dubs, so the fact that NieR ReIn would be receiving the whole works treatment like how it would for console games is quite impressive. As for the bug fixes, we’re sure everyone’s keenly familiar with launch day hiccups, with servers crashing from the sheer number of people trying to get into the game, bugs aside. Hopefully the fixes and the localization won’t be taking too long, but honestly, better they delay it instead of pushing out a half-baked product.

Honkai Impact 3rd Censored Old Valkyries With Minor Outfit Updates

Honkai Impact 3rd has censored two of the older valkyrie characters in the game, with minor alterations to each of their outfits in the Chinese version.

— Honkai News Network (@marisahonkai) April 21, 2022

According to trusted source Marisa Honkai on Twitter, the 5.7 version of the game will see Kiana’s White Comet battlesuit as well as Himeko’s Scarlet Fusion receive slight alterations.

In the case of Kiana’s battlesuit, her cleavage has been reduced, while Himeko’s sports a new piece on her chest covering the area up as well.
It’s not currently known if the same update will be rolled out to SEA and Global versions of the game, but it’s an overall minor change to the characters outfits.
Honkai’s Censorship Woes
Unlike Genshin Impact whose censored outfits came in the form of partial redesigns, Honkai has had a much more subtle battle with censorship.
The game had previously removed its controversial touch feature, where you could grope the playable characters on the bridge for affection points.
Interestingly enough while the Chinese government is usually the suspect whenever Genshin or Honkai Impact 3rd is censored, it’s not always the case- Chinese fans reacted very negatively to a previous anniversary event, which saw many of the Honkai girls dressed in bunny girl outfits.

“Shaman” webtoon to receive drama and console game adaptations

Shaman, a webtoon by Seok Jeong-hyun, will be adapted into both a drama and a console game. While the Shaman webtoon itself appears hardly known outside of South Korea, drama fans may be interested to know that Park Jae-Bum – of Good Doctor and Vincenzo – is billed for the series. Lee Hong-Nae and Heo Sung-Tae are named to be part of the game.

Shaman features a futuristic reunified Korea, where what brief English summary is given says a lone special agent is tasked to protect an idol group known as ORDO. The webtoon appears to have completed its run, having first been published in 2018. EVR Studio is supposed to be developing a “AAA console game” based on the IP. They’ll be working in collaboration with AStory, with the drama looking to build up hype for the game’s release. A promotional image can be found below, pretty much a 1:1 render of the original webtoon art.

MODES
TRICKS BATTLE
As briefly touched on, this multiplayer mode sees two teams of 6 facing off in arenas to outscore each other utilizing teamwork, strategy, tactics and of course, tricks. These arenas will have areas dubbed districts that you can capture for your team, which will provide huge score multipliers. Areas and modules get coloured blue or red depending on whether you’ve captured it or not.
PVP
Go up against other players in Free for All playlists featuring hand-picked career events, each themed to styles of play and thus will vary greatly. These playlists may feature trick-focused events, racing or air sports, and are described as a mode where you’ll be able to improve as you compete with others around the world.
There will also be Private PVP where you can invite your friends to play through career content. You’ll all be able to progress through your career tracks, gain stars, complete challenges and unlock gear.

CAREER
Each sport will have their dedicated career progression paths, with sponsors and big events along the way. When you hit certain milestones after going through races, competitions and the like, you’ll get your chance to participate in events based off real outdoor sporting events as organized by brands. Find Burton, Santa Cruz, Rossignol, Canyon, Salomon, and Red Bull to be among the selection.
EXPLORATION
Take a break from all the high octane sports and simply explore with the lovingly rendered open world of these US National Parks and their corresponding landmarks. The devs do point out it’s not a precise recreation, as tweaks have been made to accommodate various purposes. You’ll have many opportunities to leave the tracks and look for the hidden stuff, accompanied by a trusty snowmobile or paramotor to get to those collectibles and relics.

Hope that preview sated your appetite for now for Riders Republic! Check out our interview with Lead Game Designer, Manfred Neber here!

Demon Slayer Malay subs go viral due to crude “penis” translation

Demon Slayer Season 2 is now met with controversy in Malaysia after the Malay subtitles on Netflix used a rather contentious translation.

In episode 2, “Infiltrating the Entertainment District”, there is a scene of Tengen Uzui dragging Zenitsu Agatsuma away. The Sound Hashira then states, “It’s still too early for you.” Reddit user u/fez_up93 on the r/Malaysia subreddit posted two images of the same scene, comparing both the English and Malay subtitles.

Note that the line Tengen says in Japanese is “お前にはまだ早い”, which literally means “it’s still too early for you”. The problem is the Malay subtitles, which when translated to English, reads:
“Your penis doesn’t even have hair, yet it’s already itching.”
Understandably, netizens in Malaysia have responded with both disdain and humour. u/Excalibro_MasterRace commented:

Another user responded with:

Twitter user @_amrlfhmi also gave his take:
In English, it reads “The Malay subtitles for Demon Slayer on Netflix is a real masterpiece.”
u/EnvBlitz shared a more serious take on the matter with:

Another reddit user gave a hilarious response:

In English, it reads “Remember kids, you must have hair first.”
Demon Slayer Season 2 is no stranger to controversy. When the first episode aired, the series was criticised for depicting a polygamous relationship involving Tengen Uzui.
