Next Forza title “Forza Street” might be coming to mobile soon

Some of us may have noticed that the Forza series has never had a mobile version before. So far, the games have always been on either consoles such as the XBox family or on PC. This may finally change as a recent blunder has accidentally leaked the news of a possible mobile version. Apparently, the possible incoming mobile version comes with the title “Forza Street“.

In a recent blog post by Forza community manager Brian Ekberg, he mistakenly inserted a wrong hyperlink. The hyperlink revealed some information about possible mobile game. Though, the hyperlink has been corrected since then. The URL address says, “Developed in partnership with UK-based studio, Electric Square, Forza Street is built from the ground up to support a wide range of Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices.”
The hyperlink highlighted in red that leaked the Forza Street mobile game:

Furthermore, a Forza representative has also officially denied any claims that a mobile game based on the Forza series is currently in development. This could be the third title of the Forza series but who knows? It might still be a console game after all. However, you cannot deny that mobile gaming is on such a rapid rise that it has made them decide to develop a mobile game to test some new things out.

If Forza Street were to launch either this year or the next, as a Forza fan, would you be excited? Of course, we do not have much information right now so stay tuned for more. For more information on games based on the Forza series, you can visit Forza Motorsport’s official website.

Square Enix Reveals Stunning Final Fantasy VI Masterline Terra 1/6 Scale Figure

Square Enix has decided to throw Final Fantasy VI fans a bone with a new Masterline 1/6 scale figure of one of the game’s protagonists Terra Branford.

They even released a new video to their youtube channel to show it off in more detail:

The Square Enix Masterline Final Fantasy VI figure is beautiful, showing Terra riding on the magitek she is shown wielding in the iconic opening of the game. The figure also features a Moogle (likely the game’s playable Moogle Mog) leaning against the armor. The giant magitek mount truly captures the steampunk aesthetic of the game.
At 1/6 scale, this figure is more or less a small statue and while a price has not been confirmed, if the previous Nier figure in this line which goes for $3100 is anything to go by, it’s also gonna be pretty expensive.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

As of right now, the figure is only listed as ‘coming soon’ without a more specific release period.
The design of the figure is a direct homage to the original Japanese cover of Final Fantasy VI with Terra riding the magitek armor among the steampunk city that is implied to be Narshe.

Terra is one of the central characters of Final Fantasy VI. While the game does not tout a single main character like other Final Fantasy games, Terra is often seen as the closest to being one and often represents VI in crossover media.

Genshin Impact Regions To Be Unlocked By 2025, Says miHoYo CEO

miHoYo has revealed their content roadmap for Genshin Impact, stating that they plan for all the game’s 7 main regions to be out by 2025.

At a GDC talk, miHoYo’s CEO Cai Haoyu explained that the company “would like to have all seven regions of Teyvat released by the next four years”.

When you consider the amount of content that launched with the new zone, Inazuma, it’s safe to treat each zone more like what MMOs would describe as an expansion. It’s not too crazy, therefore, to imagine the company would plan to release one new zone a year if it was going to hit that 2025 goal.
All The Genshin Impact Regions

It’s not like we’re entirely in the dark, either. After Genshin Impact launched, miHoYo released a teaser for the Teyvat Chapter featuring short previews of Teyvat’s 7 regions. Here they are, in order:

What Comes Next?
A teaser image for the Cryo Archon, the current major villain for the Teyvat chapter.
No one knows what’s going to come next for Genshin Impact after all the regions are unlocked. Considering how easily miHoYo added a new area to Monstadt (Dragonspine), it’s not hard to believe the developers could easily get by with new mini-zones instead of full-out new continents.
That being said, considering the name Teyvat Chapter, it’s also not outside the realm of possibility we could be getting new worlds altogether. Honkai Impact 3rd, miHoYo’s other title, has also enjoyed plenty of alternate-reality jaunts with their various updates, so should the Genshin community still be as strong in 4 years it wouldn’t be surprising if that was where Genshin was headed, too.

Until it gets more verification check marks, you can find fans wondering if the Neural Cloud English Twitter account is really official in the comments. The account’s creation date is April 2021, so it has at least been around for a while.
If you’re unaware of what Project Neural Cloud is, it is, in essence, a rogue-like, auto-chess kind of game. You’ll be able to field a small squad of units who have their own characteristics, with movement and targetting automated, requiring a level of strategy to placement and when you’ll use their special moves. It launched in China September 2021.

Summoners War Guild Siege Battle Pre-Registration Is Launched!

Summoners War has come a long way and Com2uS has been doing really well in updating the game with massive contents and new features. Now with the previous huge update, World Arena (real-time PvP battle), Com2uS has heeded players’ request for guild-based PvP. With that, Com2uS has launched Summoners War pre-registration for its first Guild Siege Battle. For those who pre-registered, players will receive in-game rewards such as Mystical Scrolls and Rainbowmons.

The newly added Guild Siege Battle is a 3-way-battle between 3 Guilds where both sides will try to defeat the bases of each other. Both Guilds who are faced with each other will have to defend their bases within the stipulated time. Whichever Guild that occupies the most bases will be the winner of the Guild Siege Battle.
As imminent as the power of guilds to create strong bonds is between Summoners War players, Com2uS expects huge responses in participation and coordination between guild leaders and their members to assist their weaker members through this guild event. The stronger the guild members are, the higher the chances of winning the Guild Siege Battle. Players are warned to experience intense competitive Guild Siege Battles but also enjoy the event at the same time among other players.

Players can sign up for the race via the Porsche Asia Pacific Forza Cup website. The competition will be open to all players with a copy of the game on PC or any current-gen Xbox consoles.
The tournament will see Forza Motorsport 7 racers compete for a shot at Grand Finals. It all starts with the first week of Rivals Qualifying Races from 29th September to 4th October. There will be three weeks of qualifiers, each featuring one of Forza Motorsport 7’s real-world tracks and one of Porsche’s cars.

After the Qualifying races end on the 18th of October, the top 16 will be chosen for the Grand Finals race, on October 31st.
The Big Events
Rivals Qualifying Race Week 1 will take place from 29th September to 4th October. This race will take place on the Bathurst track, where racers will compete using a Porsche 918 Spyder.
Meanwhile, the second race will have racers compete on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This track holds some sentimental value for Porsche, as the 918 Spyder previously held the lap time record for this track back in 2013. This round of qualifiers will run from 6th to 11th October.
Finally, the last week of Qualifying will take place on the legendary Le Mans track. This is the site of the 24 hour Le Mans race, and as such, you’ll be driving this one in a thematically appropriate car. For this qualifier, racers will be using the Porsche 919 Hybrid, three-time winner of Le Mans. This round of qualifiers will run from 13th to 18th October.
After this week of fierce competition, the top 16 racers will compete in two final races- Grand Finals, to be exact. The first of these will be on the Silverstone track. You may have seen this track during the F1 British Grand Prix. After that, they’ll compete on the Hockenheimring, home of the German GP. These races will both be completed using the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. This event will take place on 31st October.

The game sees a group of nine teenage camp councilors of Hackett’s Quarry summer camp, staying a night in an old house out in the woods. They’re told to stay inside but of course, they don’t listen. From there, they fight for their lives. Who lives or dies will be based on the choices the player makes.

It’s a classic horror scenario much like Until Dawn had but one that with the right writing and acting, it could be frighteningly fun to play through.
Supermassive has assembled an all-star cast for the game consisting of quite a few well-known Hollywood celebrities. These include David Arquette (Scream), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), Justice Smith (Pokémon Detective Pikachu), Brenda Song (Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior), Lance Henriksen (Aliens), and Lin Shaye (Insidious).
Much like their previous Dark Pictures Anthology games, The Quarry will also feature co-op with up to seven players being able to join the game at a time. Players will either be able to either take control of one counselor each or vote on the decisions the characters make throughout the playthrough.
And for those that just want to experience the story mode, there will also be a movie mode where you can sit back and watch the story unfold without the interactive exploration sections.
The Quarry will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 10th, 2022. The game is open for pre-orders.

FFVII: The First Soldier First Impressions – No parachutes included

The usual launch hiccups aside, the office wrangled together some people to queue up for some games of Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, the battle royale entry into the larger FFVII universe. The basic conceit is that you’re fighting against fellow SOLDIER candidates, so drop down in Midgar and let the fun begin.

OPTIONS
For a competitive genre such as this, ensuring your settings are right would surely be a priority. Auto-fire is available for players who don’t typically play battle royales, while “floating fire” or “fixed fire” is open for the more experienced. There’s aim assist to go with this. Auto pick-up can be toggled for the different items should you need that too.

There’s quite a lot of camera sensitivity sliders for general situations, materia use, firing and scope. Sound sliders are equally quite numerous for sound effects, voices, environmental sounds, and voice chat. I would assume that plenty of these are standard in the other mobile battle royale games, so if you’re jumping in from another battle royale, you should be mostly able to change most things to whatever you’re used to.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

PRESENTATION
The game does honestly look pretty good from what I can see on the small screen, an optimized-for-mobile slice of FFVII Remake. Various spells require some targetting, which shows up as a blue indicator but honestly in the heat of the moment, it’s just yelling and hoping for the best. For the Thunder spell, its area of effect I feel is harder to see than others, which could just be me being rather dense.
Other players are indicated by footprint symbols, while ammo and chests have their own. These symbols will show up in a radius around your character, with different opacities depending on your relative distance to them. It helps if you happen to be playing without sound, as the visual indicator is reliable enough.

The highlights around interactable items could stand to be more obvious, though there’s also the circular indicator around you anyway. There are things that you can destroy that aren’t necessarily highlighted, so it’s something for players to experiment around. You can’t try adjusting your UI in the settings menu if you want to though, so maybe something for another time.
The voices are probably one of the last things you’d really need in a game like this. The English dub is alright.
GAMEPLAY
If you’re familiar with battle royale games, then the basic formula is hardly any different here.
You have a crouch, jump with double taps allowing you to scale some heights, up to 3 spells and 1 summon, 2 guns, consumable slot and a Style (basically a Job / Class) specific skill. You can queue with up to 2 other players for a team of 3, locking in your chosen Style before entering the map. Pick up ammo, Materia (spells), guns and Gil (gold), accessories along the way before you engage other players. All Styles will have their basic Melee weapon so you won’t be completely helpless.

Items go up to Orange rarity, with Orange being the rarest. From what I can tell, there are a decent variety of guns, though I don’t think there are too many models to one ammo type right now. Materia use MP to cast which gradually charges up over time, and picking up the same type of Materia can level your skill up further. You yourself will passively level up during a match even if you don’t fight monsters, gaining incremental stats or levelling up your Style skill.

When on foot, the map feels extremely large and you can often go several minutes without meeting another player. Trying to drive a car with the virtual joystick feels quite horrible, but fortunately, different control schemes are available. As a team, we tried to revive a fallen member, then found we didn’t have enough gil even after his cooldown completed, so that’s too bad. You can try to resurrect a downed member before they die, with the controls not cooperating with me as it breaks me out of the animation and they die anyway due to bleeding out.

Gil seems tough to find if you don’t try to engage anything else, so you won’t be able to use the vending machines for any equipment or upgrades. On occasion, supply drops will happen to offer a chance at rarer items, typically a time you may also find a summon Materia. I broke a Don Corneo statue and found a vault key, but I didn’t manage to find it to see what the fuss was about.
Outside of the matches themselves, you have the shop offering paid cosmetics and the battle pass. Daily challenges are offered for that grind towards whatever fancy thing you’ve got your eyes on. Completing a round gets you EXP towards the Style you played that round, and it’s… probably going to take a long while for me.
CLOSING THOUGHTS

Needless to say, this is one genre I’m not familiar with. There are various allowances for complete newbies like me, but you’ll still need the practice to get any good at it as is typically the case. I think the controls could use some more tweaks, maybe even more varied sliders to get it just right. It’s got controller support, and that’s probably the best way to play it if you’re able.
You’re hardly playing FFVII: The First Soldier for the story. The game is really solid for what it is and has the expected conventions of its genre, so if you like battle royales, by all means, go for it.
Gameplay done on iPhone 13 Pro Max / Poco X3 NFC.

It’ll also be present at BitSummit Let’s Go in July, with a playable build for attendees.
This is a far cry from the game’s initial announcement, where the game was a China-only release for mobile devices.
While Entropy Effect will be available globally via Steam, it’s not currently known if its mobile counterpart will also be releasing outside of China.
Blazblue Entropy Effect is a roguelike adventure title, having you play as various iconic Blazblue characters in ACE, a “consciousness-training system” through the game’s levels.
These characters include series mainstays like Ragna The Bloodedge and Noel Vermillion, as well as newer ones like Es.
It also features a Legacy System, where you’ll be able to inherit skills from other characters to build a unique moveset for your character, as well as Potential Skills and Elemental buffs.
This marks the second non-fighting game spinoff for Blazblue, following the short-lived Blazblue Alternative Dark War which never saw an international release.

EA and Origin Access Updates With MORE FREE GAMES!

The Electronic Arts Access (EA Access) was launched back in August 2014 for the Xbox One as a subscription service with a couple of free games. Since then, the platform has included dozens of games along with the launch of Origin Access for the PC.

The list of games have been updated over the years and EA has no intention of removing any games that they have included in EA and Origin Access. In a statement by Peter Moore, he said “I think one of the key things is that once a game goes into the Vault it stays there, it’s not going to be taken out, that’s a commitment we’ve made.”

Currently there’s no version of EA Access available for the PlayStation 4. Though the PlayStation 4 has the PlayStation Plus subscription which is pretty similar to the EA Access, EA has raised the bar for their competitors out there with permanent free games on their list. That being said, Sony is open to having a dialogue with EA to bring EA Access to the PS4 as well in the future.
For those who would like to know more about EA or Origin Access, a subscription fee of $5 per month or $30 per month is incurred upon subscription. EA or Origin Access members will have access to all the games in the list for free and some upcoming new games ahead of launch with a 5-day headstart. Other than that, subscribers will also be able to save 10% on all EA digital content as well.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Demo Impressions: Does not include overdramatic Mind Palace

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

A story of a hundred years needs to start somewhere, and start we did with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Demo Version. The demo contains only a single chapter of the mystery-adventure, live action game, wherein you follow protagonist Haruka Kagami to investigate murders and uncover the truth.

AS YOU KNOW…
Famous mystery novelist Haruka Kagami has been invited by her friend, Eiji Shijima, to his family’s estate. The storied Shijima family has spent generations in medical research, investigating a so-called “Fruit of Youth”, one that has been inherited by members of the family. This research comes with baggage, where a skeleton has been uncovered in the estate’s garden.
This is the first incident that occurred in 1922. They have a novel from that year, believed to be the real story to solving the murder. The “time travel” is done through Haruka Kagami placing herself and Eiji Shijima as the characters of the novel, and the investigation goes from there.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE
The live action ‘movie’ makes the game. Not only do you watch the story unfold, the clues and details you need to solve the case are sprinkled in here. Fortunately, there is no need to actually memorize every single clue you may have found: the game will help you collect them and mark the scene where it’s found. It’s like a handy dandy Q-Class notebook! (Okay, that was forced, but I will not take it back.)
As this is a key feature in finding the answers, you will be able to pause and rewind these scenes. Whenever any relevant information is obtained, it will show up at the bottom of your screen. You can then pause and digest this information as needed.

The game can be fully controlled using the keyboard with the occasional mouse clicks if needed. Having all the clues labelled with their respective keys and functions is incredibly helpful simply for ease of access, more so if you find it hard to remember a lot of information at once. Additionally, any important decisions require a long press, so you avoid any accidental taps to wrong answers.
IN THE NAME OF MY NOVELIST’S PRIDE
Once you obtain enough clues, you will then enter Haruka Kagami’s mind. The deduction process is separated into Mystery, Clue and Hypotheses. The Mystery section is your case in hand, so you will need to link it to clues and place it in the correct columns to bring up the hypotheses.

The hypotheses could also lead to more mysteries, which could prompt you to double-check your clues. Revisit the relevant scene at the top of the screen; since the clues are already tagged with their respective scenes, it’s easy to refresh your memory. Should you have enough hypotheses to make a conclusion, you will be allowed to “complete” your deduction.
You can still continue the process to get even more possibilities if you so wish. You will require these Hypotheses to ascertain the truth, so it would be beneficial to get them all, unless you’re absolutely confident of your answer. After all, some hypotheses can lead you to a red herring.
During a scene, you may be prompted to make a decision. For at least the first chapter, this choice does not appear to make any impact, but it is nice for interactivity’s sake.
Q.E.D.?
If you enjoy dramas, The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story should be on your radar. I enjoy mystery stories, so this is up my alley too. The whole setting, acting, props, etc. are all executed well, which only strengthens the story telling and suspense required for this genre.

Letting you into the mind of Haruka Kagami is also a visual treat besides being a cool concept: her process is depicted as a ‘road’, with hypotheses branching out from clues, and any doubts further pushing her along the path of the truth. It’s laid out very cleanly and colour-coded (red for the mystery, gold for the clues, and white for the hypotheses), making for a beautiful equation, of sorts.
On obtaining the hypotheses, the game grants you a summary section for you to review your literal road to the truth. All this backed with Yuki Hayashi’s music that truly immerses you in the whole deductive process.

As wonderful as the presentation is, The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is not completely flawless. While your ‘material’ is colour-coded, the clues must be placed in their precise columns, or you won’t be allowed to. There is a triangle mark on the clue piece that gives a hint to the correct column, if you’re really stuck. This in itself is both a positive and a negative: should you make mistakes, this trial-and-error gameplay means you can brute force a case. The game is intended to be easy to pick up, which is great, which unfortunately comes at the cost of challenge when that is arguably one of the selling points of a mystery title.
Then again, overall, The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is an experience that is well worth trying. The demo notes that some elements may differ from the full version, and there are yet more stories to pursue. Will you be able to shine the light on skeletons long buried? There is only one truth, as they say.

                                        PROS

                                        CONS

                                        Great presentation, in aesthetics and user interface

                                        Trial-and-error gameplay allows for brute force solutions

                                        Easy to follow deductive process

                                        Still room for improvement in UI

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective HD Remaster Preview: A Slick Puzzle Game With A Thrilling Mystery Story

Despite being a big fan of Ace Attorney, I never actually played the original Ghost Trick for the Nintendo DS, a puzzle game published by Capcom and directed by Pheonix Wright’s creator Shu Takumi. As such, I was very excited to hear that Ghost Trick was being ported to modern consoles via an HD remaster.

Now having played a demo of the game’s first two chapters, I can safely say that while it scratches that itch for more Ace Attorney with a similar style of humor and character writing, it’s also uniquely its own beast with an interesting gameplay loop and dashing animation that holds up well today. It’s an overall good time if you’re into the more quirky side of gaming.

Your Dead
Image Credit: Capcom
That’s certainly a way to start a sub-section but it’s actually how Ghost Trick starts. You turn on the game and you’re instantly greeted with the main character dead on the floor. His spirit however finds that he’s still drifting among the world of the living and with the help of a sentient lamp, he realizes that he can manipulate objects in the physical world and reverse time for a few minutes. He quickly uses this ability to help save a young woman being hunted by an assassin.
From here he realizes that his name is Sissel and that the young woman was a detective named Lynne who was investigating his death. From here he decides to follow Lynne and learn more about why he died before he eventually dissipates at dawn.

I haven’t played enough of the game to judge to plot too far, but it certainly is intriguing. It hits the ground running with the fact that you’ve died and gives enough breadcrumbs that you want to see where the mystery is going.
I do also like what I’ve seen of the characters with Sissel, Lynne, Ray The Lamp, and even the assassins you stop at the beginning all having fun quirks that make them stand out much like the characters of Ace Attorney. My only real complaint is that the game also starts somewhat slow like Ace Attorney with the tutorial being a little more wordy than it probably needed to be. It’s a minor complaint but I would have preferred it if it went by a little faster.
Ghost In The Machines

The gist of Ghost Trick is that you as a spirit can travel between different objects and interact with them like turning on a fan or getting a wrecking ball to drop on someone. What makes this tricky is that you can only pass from one object to another when they’re touching, meaning that you’ll have to manipulate different items to move them into the right spot or influence one of the living characters in the puzzle room to move them for you.
The puzzles are done in real-time, meaning that human characters will be moving, speaking, and interacting with the world as you do. When you want to possess an item, you go into a phantom mode which will briefly freeze time but the object won’t actually change and start moving until you are back in real-time. This is important as many of the puzzles are timed or require correcting timing to have a certain character in a certain place to get to the solution.
I did find myself getting a little stuck at certain parts but nothing in the game is too difficult, it just requires a bit of thinking outside of the box and considering just how different items can interact with their surroundings to create new areas to travel. It can be quite fun seeing what you can do with the different environments and creating some funny slapstick gags with your wacky furniture shenanigans.
These were all done with the touch screen on DS but here they’re done with the controller and it works completely fine. Nothing in the game is so specific that it requires touch controls so console players should have no problem getting into the title.

So one thing that people always told me about Phantom Trick back when it was on the DS was that the animations were incredibly smooth and expressive, especially for a DS game and they really weren’t kidding.
The HD remaster really shows just how much the animation of the game oozes with style. A lot of that comes down to some perfectly timed, animations that really bring each character to life. There’s a real sense of theatrics in each person’s body language, assassins have sharp, precise movements while Lynne and Missile have more spirited and slapstick-filled movements. Each character feels unique not just in design but animation and it makes each interaction and visual gags pop out all the more.
I’m also a big fan of the game’s soundtrack. This is one of the big changes with the HD Remaster the entire soundtrack has been rearranged soundtrack by Yasumasa Kitagawa (The Great Ace Attorney) and you can swap between it and the original soundtrack at any time during gameplay. Both soundtracks are bop with plenty of catchy synth tunes, especially the main theme which really gets you into the mood of being a detective on the trail of a mystery.

After missing out on its original release, I’m pretty happy to be giving Ghost Trick a shot and finding out why so many people consider it a classic. The puzzles are fun to solve and further bolstered by the high amount of character expressed in the writing and dialogue making for a fun adventure mystery.
While the tutorial area did feel a little long and hand holds, I’m still left wishing I could see more and learn more about the plot which goes to show how effective the game is drawing people in. If you like Shu Takumi’s work with Ace Attorney, this should be written up your alley but Ghost Trick succeeds at being far more as a unique take on the puzzle genre that is complimented by its snazzy aesthetics and a killer soundtrack.

Gaming Disorder Is Now In The International Classification of Diseases, But Is It Necessary?

We all knew that “gaming disorder” is a thing now ever since WHO has included it in the International Classification of Diseases 2018 just yesterday. It was announced and later confirmed that “gaming disorder” will be included in the big book of diseases January this year.

However, before we begin talking about this “gaming disorder”, first let us visit the definition and origins of what “game(s)” is. Game(s), was a man-made activity which was a form of entertainment when man had free-time on their hands and they were looking for something to entertain themselves. The invention of games have existed way before we were born, just like our Malaysian “congkak” or “batu seremban”.  But the oldest game that ever existed on this planet was found in 2600 BCE, over 4600 years ago, The Royal Game of Ur (further explained by Irving Finkel, if you are interested). It was created then when there’s probably less distractions or activities compared to current century, so a man’s gotta entertain themselves right?

So games, don’t just entertain people, they can be used to help people as well.

It’s not like mankind has changed much. We’re still walking on the same earth, going on our daily lives and trying to drown our misery with some form of entertainment, hoping to gain some happiness out of it or at least a cheer-up. Thus games as an entertainment has never been wrongly existed. Though some might argue that we don’t need games as an entertainment. True, but sports was never just a sport though – it started off as a “game” because just like sports, there’s always a winner.
As games or sports have goals, rules, challenges and interaction, it usually involves mental and physical stimulation. Most games actually help develop practical skills which serves as a form of exercise. Some may even use games or sports for educational purposes – to simulate or invoke the psychological part of the brain, i.e. art, creativity, critical thinking and so on. So games, don’t just entertain people, they can be used to help people as well.

However, because games have evolved over the years into electronic games, the perception towards games have changed as well. Games existed way back 4600 years ago, so was addiction – but probably longer than what we know. Till now, the issue with addiction still exists, so it’s not uncommon. Addiction is a disease that latches on like a parasite that leeches your life away as you spend most of your time on a particular object, substance or activity. It robs away our life, sometimes literally if you don’t have control – like how a workaholic could die of exhaustion if they don’t take a break once in a while.

 “Too much of anything isn’t good for anyone.” – Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man.

So with the understanding of where addiction can put their foot on, self-control is the keyword. There are many disorders that are already recorded in the International Classification of Diseases. Just like Impulse-Control Disorder (ICD), which is a class of psychiatric disorder that is characterized by impulsivity such as failure to resist a temptation, an urge, an impulse, or even the inability to not speak on a thought! So if you found anyone that just can’t keep their mouths shut before they draw someone’s last straw, would you categorize them as someone who has ICD?
Think about it, this “gaming disorder” is just a combination or impulsivity and lack of self-discipline or control as they mentioned it is a “manifestation in long periods of social isolation and there is a rigid pattern of behavior which the addict finds hard to break.” So wouldn’t the cure for it be not spend too much time on one activity?
As the saying goes, “Too much of anything isn’t good for anyone.” – Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man.
Time management and the ability to measure what is important, to put certain things first before something else, is the ability that some or even many of us are lacking. It exists and it’s not a disorder – it’s just a behavioral thing which has manifested to become a bad habit or a bad behavior. Or just some bad decision making skills.

But unfortunately, there’s no apparent measure to know if these certain unhealthy behaviors actually stem from gaming.

In an Irish times article, Dr. Colman Noctor, a child and adolescent psychotherapist said, “It is incredibly difficult to measure the impact of any gaming behaviour,” he said. “If there is violence or misbehaviour, do we know that is caused by gaming? A lot of pro-gaming people would challenge that.” – So how did “gaming disorder” come to exist if you can’t measure its existence?
This is not debating the fact that other mental illnesses and disorders actually aren’t real, they actually do exist. But the question is, how serious should a disorder be before it is recognized as an actual disorder. To my concern, an illness is something that is usually curable, except for cancer of course – but in some cases it was cured with medication, chemotherapy, a whole lot of family support and the will to live. So is “gaming disorder” curable though?
The answer is a hard “No.” Dr. Colman said, “…there was “no evidence base” that any medication would work in the case of gaming addiction.” Granted that there’s no actual “cure” for mental illnesses, only some medication to suppress the “disorder”. So is “gaming disorder” so serious that it needs medical or psychiatric attention? The point of bringing this “gaming disorder” into existence is to highlight the fact that people have succumb to games, making them anti-social, disrupting their not-so-healthy daily life, and igniting some violent behaviors.
But unfortunately, there’s no apparent measure to know if these certain unhealthy behaviors actually stem from gaming. So how is gaming necessary to be a “gaming disorder”?
All these could be coming from a pro-gaming person, but let’s all pause and think about it for a second. Is “gaming disorder” serious enough to be necessarily made into existence?

Auto Chess Mobile English open beta starts

Last month, Auto Chess Mobile’s beta went live in China and now the English version open beta has begun.
Based on a Dota 2 mod of the same name, Auto Chess Mobile features Dota 2 heroes being played like pieces on a chess board. In addition, the heroes will have more or less the same skills like the ones they have in Dota 2.
You start with a Preparation phase, where you get to select different heroes from a randomized list. Next, you need to choose where you want them placed on the chess board.
The heroes’ skills, how they move and where you place them will all play an important factor. Once you’ve completed your placements, the game proceeds to battle automatically.

Auto Chess Mobile is proving to be a simple game to pick up but requires lots of practice to master its strategy. It’s surprisingly engaging, though it can also be time-consuming.

Those who want to try the game can now download it to their Android smartphones through the game’s Google PlayStore page.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novel where the protagonist joins the literature club and bonds with and can eventually fall in love with one of three girls in the club: Sayuri, Satsuki, and Yuri.
Monika is the club president and while you can’t date her, she’s a helpful guide that’s always willing to go the extra mile to put you on the right path. That’s probably why she’s the most popular character in the game.
DDLC was originally released in 2017 on Steam for free by Team Salvato. In 2021, an enhanced version of the game called Doki Doki Literature Club Plus was released for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. This version came with a number of side stories and bonus content.

Microsoft In Talks To Buy Discord

Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy Discord, the popular community messaging app. The company had previously acquired Skype ten years prior, back when it was the go-to platform for online calling.

Previously, VentureBeat had reported that Discord was in talks for a USD 10 Billion deal, though they hadn’t disclosed who they were talking to. Sources have told Bloomberg (via The Verge) that Microsoft was the interested suitor, joining the list of high-profile acquisitions by the mega company.

According to VentureBeat this deal is already in its final negotiations, with multiple sources telling them that paperwork had already been signed regarding the deal.
Discord has been the premier platform for cooperative games like Watch Dogs: Legion’s online mode.
It’s no surprise Microsoft would try to buy Discord, the app previously reported over 140 million active users in December, and the company itself is valued at about USD 7 Billion. While many users jumped onto newer platforms like Zoom after last year’s pandemic, Discord already had an install base, as the app had been used by gamers and streamers thanks to its ability to host large calls.

Although Discord is free, it has a subscription based premium option, Discord Nitro. This doesn’t affect the core functions of Discord, but allows for more premium features and acts as the only source of revenue for the app, since it doesn’t serve ads.
