Fans noticed that characters’ had their breasts redrawn into sizes far smaller than what was aired outside the country. In particular, Ilulu, a new character who debuts in season 2, had her massive chest reduced.

[TPGS2023] Wo Long Producers Talk More About The Game’s Three Kingdoms Inspiration

With just over a month to go until the launch of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, we caught up again with the game two producers Fumihiko Yasuda and Masaaki Yamagiwa for an interview to hear about its development and Three Kingdoms inspirations.

                    Fumihiko Yasuda

                    Masaaki Yamagiwa

Both creators are forerunners in the world of Soulsborne games like Wo-Long. Fumihiko Yasuda acted as the director for both Nioh titles which were previously made by Team Ninja, while Masaaki Yamagiwa was a co-producer for Bloodborne.

In this interview, they told us more about Wo-Long’s Three Kingdoms inspiration and how it will play a part in the game’s design and boss battles.

Players have been comparing Wo Long characters to the Dynasty Warriors series. What is the inspiration for Wo Long’s character design and when designing these characters was there a deliberate effort to differentiate them from Dynasty Warriors?
Yasuda: Of course, we understand that Koei Tecmo has released a lot of games based on the Three Kingdoms so far, whether it’s the Romance of The Three Kingdoms or Dynasty Warriors series. In fact, they have already depicted many Three Kingdoms era warriors so far, so we understand that many players will definitely associate with our past works.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

We understand that it is impossible to copy the character designs of the previous series, so when we designed the characters of this game, we focused more on presenting the darker style of the Three Kingdoms worldview. Although not exactly the same as the previous Three Kingdoms warriors, I believe that players can probably see which character is which when they see the personality.
Wo Long is set in the Three Kingdoms. There are so many wonderful stories in the Three Kingdoms, how did you decide which scenes to put in the game? And which scene did you like the most among the ones you chose?

Yasuda: The main reason why the Three Kingdoms background was chosen as the setting for Wo Long is that we know that the Three Kingdoms era has a lot of wonderful stories. The game will still have a lot of Western players however, and they may not be so familiar with what really happened in the Three Kingdoms era, so we chose to set the game during The Yellow Turban Rebellion as it is more suitable for them to enter the setting, being one of the earliest parts of the saga.
This is also why we chose the title ‘Wo Long’ which symbolizes someone who is not yet famous but will be one day, referring to the different Three Kingdoms heroes who are still in their early days and haven’t made a name for themselves yet. There are quite a few stories we couldn’t include since there are so many but we also hope to make use of subsequent DLC to add more.
I think the most bloodthirsty story of the Three Kingdoms is in the Hulao Pass, the Three warriors fight with Lu Bu. This part always felt very exciting every time I watched it. I also hoped that players will look forward to the Three warriors’ fight with Lu Bu in Wo Long will be presented in a similar way.
You recently showed the latest gameplay of the boss battle with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, in which Wen Chou spun Yan Liang like a flail and threw him out to attack the player. May I ask how you came up with this idea?
Yan Liang in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Yamagiwa: The boss battle was designed with the idea that since the two warriors are very famous and their relationship with each other is familiar to many players. We used this direction as our concept, and then we wanted to make an action that is exciting and meets the requirements of the game’s design. The final result is that one of them will throw the other as a weapon, and we believe that such an action can bring players great shock.
What is the difference between the design of the monsters in Wo Long and Nioh, and will we see famous monsters more familiar to Chinese players appear in the game?

Yasuda: The design of the monsters is taken from Chinese legends or historical backgrounds. To make sure they’re accurate, we had to check with Koei Tecmo’s internal Chinese staff and try to find the Chinese players that are more familiar with the demons.
In the Nioh some enemies may be from the earliest Chinese legends, but in Wo long, the base story is from China so the designs will also be closer to the original versions found in Chinese legends.
In Wolong, players can fight alongside or face familiar Three Kingdoms warriors as enemies. So we have the opportunity to get, for example, Lu Bu’s Fang Tian Hua halberd, Guan Yu’s Green Dragon Crescent Blade such weapons?

Yamagiwa: We have designed this system of fighting together with the generals in the game, so players can increase their friendship value, similar to the affinity system while taking them along for the battle. After accumulating to a specified value, you can get the equipment of the general, this is the production team designed a way for players to get the equipment of the general.
Wolong adopts the five phases (elements) from Chinese Culture, but Western players who are not familiar with Chinese culture may need a little time to understand this system. How has the team made this system more understandable when designing it?

Yamagiwa: A lot of Western culture and media have also made use of similar elemental attributes, so I think that although the relationship between the five phases of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth may not be completely familiar to them, I don’t think it’ll be too difficult to understand. What we have done is use the interface to clearly show the relationship and changes between the attributes in the game, so that they can players can visually understand the system quickly.
Could you tell us more about the responses you received from the Wo Long demo and if there is anything, in particular, you want to work on based on player feedback?

Yasuda: The development team has been reflecting a lot on the feedback to the game. In the development process, we have reserved time for this. However, we can’t simply add all of the player’s opinions to the game. There was a lot of player feedback that the enemies were too strong for example, but just making the enemies easier is not the correct approach.
So after receiving the player’s opinions, we will still need to go through an internal evaluation process, why players feel the enemy is too strong, and what aspects make them so strong. We have to think about what way can adjust him so that players will be acceptable. We do a deeper internal evaluation to find the answer and do not just take the players’ opinions as they are. This is the normal development process.
Will the game have any collaboration with other famous characters of Koei Tecmo in the future?

Yasuda: There is no plan for this but the game has a character customization system, so players can use it to create some Koet Tecmo characters if they want. Of course, this is just a look-alike and does not mean that the character has really come to Wolong, but players do love Koei Tecmo’s other characters and they will find a way to share them with players.
Will the game be supported in Steam Deck?
Yamagiwa: Officially, there is no Steam Deck optimization process. We will announce the recommended specifications and minimum specifications of the game in the PC version later.
Is there anything you want to say to the players?

Yamagiwa: The setting of this game is inspired by the Three Kingdoms era, which I believe is relatively familiar to Chinese and Asian players. We have done our best to present the Three Kingdoms era to players, and hope that you can enjoy the experience, as well as the elements of Chinese martial arts recreated in this game.
Yasuda: Team Ninja has done Nioh and Final Fantasy Origin, but this might be the largest response we’ve had to a game from an Asian crowd, especially from those who came to the Taipei Game Show today. There was so much enthusiasm and players did not hesitate to wait in long lines to play this game.
I also feel anticipation for the game. Because the game will be released in about a month, we’re making the final sprint, so that the game is in an even better form when launching, I hope that if you are interested in this game, will try out the final demo on February 24th.

We’re thankful to Fumihiko Yasuda and Masaaki Yamagiwa for telling us more about Wo Long and glad it’s done so well at Tapei Game Show. Hopefully, the anticipation will continue up until its official release.

ASUS Malaysia: Providing options with OLED and beyond, an interview with Lenny Lin

ASUS is quite the ubiquitous brand to say the least. Year after year, the company releases some of the best hardware out there, ranging from home users, professionals to high end gaming. In an email interview with ASUS Malaysia‘s Business Development Manager, Lenny Lin, he answered a number of our questions about the whole business, so let’s dive in.

Lenny Lin, Business Development Manager, ASUS Malaysia
THE OLED MARKET
ASUS has a big emphasis on attracting creators to use your laptops. Why?

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Our market research has shown us that many creators are looking for  strong computing devices with high colour accuracy and stability. The OLED screen is able to deliver the true-to-life colour accuracy for a professional level of visual effects, so it’s suitable for these professionals and creators, or even those who just want to enjoy “true colours”.
Additionally, because of the material used, OLED screens emit 70% less blue light compared to typical LCD screens. This provides a much smoother viewing experience and reduce damage to your retina. When work or study from home is so common due to the pandemic, OLED screens are the best choice for these users.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The OLED product launch also kicked off this contest to reward creativity.
Is it ASUS’ intention to phase out other display technologies for the Zenbook / Vivobook series eventually, in favour of OLED?
While we are introducing the OLED screen to many of our high-end and mainstream models, we will retain the other screen options to fulfill the different needs of our customer base. You can still expect us to provide a huge amount of options for every need.
How does ASUS protect against burn-in for its OLED models?
Theoretically, the OLED screens are easier to burn-in than LCDs, but this is in reality, a very rare issue. A majority of OLED laptop users will not experience such issues throughout the lifespan of their machines. Televisions with OLED technology have also been on the market for many years to great results, providing OLED’s previously mentioned benefits.
To further prevent the possibility of burn-in, ASUS’ OLED laptops have our own self-developed burn-in protection software in the ASUS OLED Care (Pixel Refresh and Pixel Shift) to protect them. The same high contrast images that stay on screen could start the burn-in problems, so our software will kick in if you’ve left your laptop on stand-by for more than 30 minutes. Every pixel will be able to shine and dim at an average performance to greatly reduce the chances of burn-in and prevent colour casts from extended use.
The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED.
In terms of sales and market response, how has the shift to OLED been received in Malaysia?
We’ve been receiving a lot of praise for our OLED laptops, from both professional media reviews and actual sales numbers. The acceptance rate of the laptops has been even better than we expected, clearly showing a very high market acceptance.
As of now, OLED laptop sales carry 20% of total sales, with several models of said laptops currently out of stock. The needs and expectations for the OLED laptops in the market are growing exponentially, as we can see.
We believe that when more customers understand the features and benefits of OLED screens, the need will only continue to grow. Our future goal is just that, to create more OLED laptops to best suit customers.
Will the ASUS Dial or DialPad feature become more common in future products?
For now, what I can say is that when we add these features in our current laptop line-up like the ASUS ProArt Studiobook and Vivobook Pro, we received a lot of praise. We’re still studying the current market trends when it comes to future products. If everything goes well, then you can definitely expect to see them more in upcoming products.
The dial of the Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED.
Will we see more liquid metal cooling technology in future products?
I believe most of you know very well about our use of this technology and the performance that comes with it. Rest assured that you will see it more in the future.
How will ASUS further improve the thermal performance for the laptops?
We’re doing a lot of experiments and research to further enhance the cooling performance for laptops. We know that our customers are always looking for the best possible products when it comes to performance, so we’re trying our hardest to provide. We’re researching a new type of liquid metal technology, so stay tuned for updates.
BUSINESS AND GAMING
When will we see the OLED display featured in the ROG gaming series, or will there be a newer display technology?
From the current standpoint, ASUS is the first brand in the world to have a full line-up of OLED laptop series. Our goal is to utilize the OLED display technology in more product lines, from entry level Vivobooks to professional ProArt Studiobook 16. As for OLED on the other laptops, we’re still looking into it, so please stay tuned for future updates.
Check out our review of the Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 OLED here.
Could you share which ASUS laptop features were the most praised this year?
Of course, it’s the OLED. We always mention the benefits of OLED to our customers and especially to creators, and that results in it being the most welcomed feature this year.
Conversely, what have been your most requested features that you’re looking to implement?
Likewise, the answer to this is also OLED. My answer might mean nothing right now, but when you see it for yourself, you’ll love it. We’re trying to expand the feature into all our products at the same time. I can proudly say that everyone is enjoying the visual perfection that OLED screens can offer on laptops.
Will you consider introducing a corporate VTuber to promote products?
Now, this is interesting. We don’t have any particular plans yet, but we do closely study current trends and explore the possibilities through which we can promote our products.
Pictured: Corporate VTuber Mihoshi Mei. MSI has gotten on the trends, in Japan at least.
Could you hint at upcoming partnerships / collaborations?
We will continue to collaborate with brands from different industries to bring experiences that surpass the products themselves to customers. I don’t want to spoil anything and reveal the industries we will be working with, but do look forward to the many interesting news we will be sharing.

As we close out 2021, the bar is set for ASUS’ upcoming products. We’re all hopefully easing back into the normal we had before, but we can still have the habits of the new normal. How will ASUS keep up with the times in 2022? Let’s stay tuned and find out.

Piecing an oft told story together: The Everlasting Regret review

Tencent Games steps back from an impressive cyberpunk tech demo, to release an understated title in The Everlasting Regret. It’s probably something English speakers are unfamiliar with, so here’s what it basically is:

Chang Hen Ge (長恨歌; lit. “Song of Everlasting Regret”) is an epic poem dated from 809, penned by the famous Chinese poet, Bai Juyi (772-846). It tells of a love story between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his favorite concubine Yang Guifei (719-756). It’s considered a literary masterpiece, one that hails from the Tang dynasty.

The Everlasting Regret, the game, is a very modest title, bringing this poem to a wider global audience. In keeping with its source material, the art style is extremely Eastern, the paintings of the old Chinese masters nestled in your mobile device. That in itself helps it stand out from many other games – mobile or otherwise – in the market, since most of them tend to employ either western, realism or anime-esque art styles.

It would have been a disservice to do it any other way, as another style could arguably not be able to bring out the true essence of the poem. Interacting with the game is simple: you are provided some tools – the first part has you use paints with meanings attached to them (bond, vivify, erase) – and you “paint” accordingly to the highlighted word of the text.

The paints – represented in colour and the characters 生, 情, 灭 for “vivify”, “bond” and “erase” respectively – will be the primary interaction you get for the first and second parts, symbolically breaking off in the second when Yang Guifei dies. The “colour” of life has been lost, and the Emperor is left behind alone in the mortal realm to grieve for her.
The game is available in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. I cannot speak for the other languages, but the English translation can feel a little stilted as it attempts to rhyme while keeping the meaning of the words. I can’t fault it too much there: translation is one thing, localizing is another, much less keeping the rhyme. The English text is also accompanied by the original Chinese, so it’s definitely a bilingual bonus for those who can read multiple languages.

The beautiful artwork is accompanied by simple animations. Just think of The Everlasting Regret as an interactive picture book, with traditional instruments providing the background music. Swipe from scene to scene, or learn more about the references or moments as depicted in the art by tapping on the appropriate buttons to open up the text explanations. There are some humourous moments to be found even in a game like this when you select the wrong action, like how I accidentally erased Yang Guifei from the scene with her attendants looking at the empty space in confusion.

There are achievements you can obtain, both “hidden” ones and regular ones. They’re more for flavour than anything else, really, to encourage you to play around with the effects of the brushes. It’s mostly intuitive, especially when later on you need to roughly draw in the shape or area of the object required. It takes a little bit trial and error, as you might assume to draw in the exact shape of the object in mind, but sometimes it’s just a few taps on the screen. Other times, you need to shuffle objects by swiping at the area as you cycle through the options until you arrive at the right one, signified by a light burst of colour.
Wang Zhiyang and his composition for The Everlasting Regret, inspiring the studio to create this game.
In keeping with the original poem, it faithfully retells the sorrowful love story of an Emperor and his concubine, but it is nonetheless a beautiful work. In the credits, you can read about their inspirations to make this game: a simple, but heartfelt one. The ending song backing the credits is a blend of modern day conventions and traditional, and I recommend you to watch the names scroll by as you listen.

It’s a very short game, which you can breeze through in less than an hour even if you take your time to enjoy the art and the music as it goes through the roughly 120 lines of the original song. It really is just for the experience, the taste of a slice of Chinese culture that has been preserved for future generations and will doubtless continue to impact many more people to come.
A game does not have to be complex. Sit back, relax, and let this story wash over you, in all its happiness, and its sorrow of this love story that has managed to withstand the test of time.

Gamers Hideout is looking to expand into the so-called metaverse, announcing a partnership with Playcoin Asia to launch LEETGuild. LEETGuild is meant to be the first blockchain gaming guild where gamers can experience exclusive support online and offline, metaverse and the real world. Members of the guild will be adopting play-to-earn games “through education, training, and expert advice (online services)”, and enjoy membership rewards and discounts on gaming equipment as offline services.

Provided development roadmap.
Eddy Yap, CEO of Gamers Hideout, is quoted as saying the partnership with Playcoin Asia will be leading their existing gaming community, customers and new gamers into an innovative chapter of gaming. LEETGuild looks to posit itself to be a starting point of entry into the whole blockchain business, acknowledging it can be costly to start. The announcement closes off with a link to register for a crowd funding Zoom pitching session. The gaming store chain established an investment page through Mystartr, offering various tiers of shares and additional rewards for those who decide to do so.

The thing about the blockchain is that many developers and fans alike look to have little to no interest in them, with concerns about scams and environmental impact abound. Whether this can work out, we’ll have to see.

Malaysia the biggest growing region for Facebook Gaming in SEA

Facebook  Gaming as a platform has existed for some time now, merging social media with content creation in one. Today, a presentation regarding various aspects of the platform were further discussed, featuring:

Michael Rose, Head of Games Partnership at Facebook for the Southeast Asian region. Prior to Facebook, he’s worked in a number of gaming companies including Sony PlayStation, Bandai Namco Entertainment and in Google’s Gaming Partnerships team as well as YouTube. His current mission is to develop the gaming video creator ecosystem for Facebook, building up the world’s largest community of gaming creators.

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

Michael Rose
Together with Yana Samsudin, herself an actor, gaming creator and online gaming ambassador, they go through the various points regarding the platform and the app. Yana has been making waves since becoming active in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) late 2019, now an official creator on Facebook, garnering 247K followers on the website and 13.5M followers on Instagram. Not having originally planned to be part of the gaming world, she hopes her involvement now will inspire positive growth for Malaysia’s online gaming and esports industry, especially more so encouraging more women to join her.
Yana Samsudin
Let’s just get straight to it: they want to make Facebook Gaming a viable platform for aspiring content creators to make a proper career on. Gaming is a major phenomenon, especially more so in this time of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so plenty of people are seeking entertainment. The numbers: 2.5B monthly users are already engaged in gaming. 700M+ users are watching streams, playing games or simply engaging in gaming groups. Facebook wants to further build up this community, and content creators are arguably the most important piece in this entire set-up.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Gaming content creators will all go through a program flow from beginner, to Level Up, to Partner. There are three primary ways in which creators can earn money through the program:

Ad revenue: Creators can turn on the option to earn revenue through advertisements
“Stars”: a la Twitch’s “Bits”, viewers can purchase these “Stars” for their favourite creators for them to earn money according to the number of Stars they have
Direct donations: Unlocks when a creator reaches the Level Up tier, for viewers to directly donate a sum to their favourite creator

For Malaysia alone, Facebook Gaming has seen incredible growth in the past 2 years:

In order of popularity, the top 5 most streamed games from Malaysian creators on the platform in April 2020: PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends, Grand Theft Auto V, PUBG Lite, Dota 2
20.7M Stars were sent out in the same month
Over the last year, viewership in Malaysia has grown by 87%

“Southeast Asia has grown into one of the most popular markets for Facebook Gaming, driven in large part by the popularity of gaming video and our gaming creators in Malaysia. Facebook is here in Malaysia to support Malaysian streamer gamers to build strong communities and create meaningful interaction with their fans, while at the same time, providing multiple ways for these creators to build the business that best suits their content and audience.”
Michael Rose, Head of Southeast Asia, APAC Games Partnership.
To further tap into this engagement, there will be a special #BukaGeng event. In partnership with eGG Network, various Facebook Creators on Facebook Gaming will be breaking fast with their viewers every week throughout Ramadhan until Raya. The Global Ramadhan Celebration 2020 had already begun from 23 April, and will last until 23 May 2020. The celebration includes a special overlay and gifts! While the PUBGM Friendly Tournament featuring various creators has passed, Tournaments for Facebook Gaming has launched. Stay tuned for one in June!

Improvements have also been made to Facebook Gaming, now having a dedicated tab where creators can have personalized shortcuts for their convenience. The centerpiece of the update is a feed for a much easier time to find content that matters to you.

The dedicated Facebook Gaming app has already launched for Android, with an iOS version to follow. This app includes casual games and access to gaming communities, but its success will largely depend on how much it encourages people to both watch and livestream themselves. The “Go Live” function on the app allows users to upload streams of mobile games with just a few more buttons. These streams can then be shared onto a user’s personal feed, encouraging the growth of amateur streamers.

Some of you may be skeptical about Facebook Gaming, considering the existence of Twitch, and even YouTube Gaming. Rose says their biggest difference is that they work closely with creators, to bond, work and grow together. If you wish to join the Facebook Gaming program, you’ll need to start off with making a profile. You’ll be recommended to move on to the Level Up stage once you meet the necessary criteria, with the Partner stage requiring further discussions with eGG Network.

Yana’s advice is to always read the comments, since engagement with your fans will be what gets you the views, which would translate into revenue, after all. Having occasions like a Supporter Day, or special days like Women’s Day, also helps with the interaction. It’s also important to upgrade your gear accordingly so that you can improve on the quality of your content creation.
All this sounds like there’s a more heavy focus on livestreaming, so those who might prefer edited content could feel shafted. Don’t worry though, as Rose says:
For FB Gaming overall, currently the focus is on livestreaming, but we do support pre-recorded content, and monetization features that include ads to run on their content. We definitely support that, we encourage all our creators even those who livestream to upload content on a regular basis. For viewers they’d want to see both right, they want to see a mix, of pre-recorded content that’s edited and then livestreaming… ultimately down the line, the destination is to watch all content. We support it now, but later on it’ll be more focused on.
As we maintain social isolation, if you think you’re good enough at a game, why not showcase to the world? Invite some friends, show off your skills, and have some fun. Maybe you’d prefer edited content, providing guides or tips that people haven’t given before. The gaming world is your oyster, and so long we all have to stay home, there will always be that need for entertainment or, say, edutainment, even. Who knows, you might even be able to work with your idol in your favourite games?

Clash of Clans, the mobile game of tower defense war developed by Supercell Oy of Finland, updated its big version several days ago. As the Clash of Clans Town Hall Level 15 comes out, the levels of numerous heroes, buildings, and troops are upgraded.
Besides, there are many other updates, like new defenses “Spell Tower and Monolith,” four new hero pets “Frosty, Diggy, Poison Lizard, and Phoenix,” a new siege machine “Battle Drill,” and a new spell “Recall Spell,” etc. Many regular players call it the biggest content release and find it fun to keep exploring the new version.

The resurgence of “Lightning and Earthquake with Witch Spam”
In the Town Hall Level 15 of Clash of Clans, the level limits of numerous heroes, buildings, and troops are unlocked. These upgrades have led to multiple changes in the tactical regime as well as the attack and defense schools and have also brought back some declining or even disappearing schools. One of the most common is Lightning and Earthquake with Witch Spam, an attack school that is declining in Town Hall Level 14 but very useful in Town Hall Level 15.

“Lightning and Earthquake with Witch Spam” was quite popular in Town Hall Level 13. However, it declined in Town Hall Level 14 when Scattershot’s HP increased and the lightning spell could not quickly clear off the building, posing a serious threat to witches. But the level of the lightning spell has been upgraded in the Town Hall to level 15. The level-10 lightning spell can cause 600 damage while the scattershot is still at level 3 with 4800 hit points. Thus, the full-level lightning spell combined with the earthquake spell can get rid of the scattershot very fast, and that’s also the reason for the resurgence of the “Lightning and Earthquake with Witch Spam” in Town Hall Level 15.

The New Troop “Electro Titan” Has Reached the Summit

The big version of Clash of Clans also brought a new troop, “Electro Titan.” The first impression you get from her is “high HP,” and that really is the case. “Electro Titan,” boasting 8200 hit points at level 3, is a new Golem. Particularly, she emits a ring of thunder and lightning that will continuously damage both ground and air units as long as they are within the range of her effect aura. Though she doesn’t damage the town wall, she is a death blow to the enemies that stall for time by multiplying and will also weaken the functions of invisible troops and buildings. “Electro Titan” could be described as the top troop in the Town Hall Level 15.

Many regular players are also brainstorming to establish various interesting and strong schools of playing “Electro Titan,”  simple as “smash attack,”  or strong as “Electro Titan attack with Lightning and Earthquake,”  “Electro Titan attack with 2 Jump Spells,” and “Electro Titan Super Wizard attack with Recall Spell.” “Electro Titan” has already become the core of the attack in the Town Hall Level 15. We believe more interesting and strong schools will be branching out in the future.

The Town Hall Level 15 Era with a Gameplay Flourish
The offensive had more cards in their hands than the defensive in the Town Hall Level 14. As the Town Hall Level 15 comes out, two brand new defenses, namely “Spell Tower” and “Monolith,” are added, and hitpoint defense is greatly enhanced, enabling the defensive to deploy troops more freely. The pain of being easily broken through is well and truly over.

Against the defensive’s superiority, the offensive exhibits a trend of various battle arrays. Attackers need to think more to crack the array of the defensive, working out many solutions like the “Electro Dragon smash attack” of the air school, the “Electro Titan Healer attack” of the land school, the “Queen Charge Hog Miner Hybrid attack” of the Queen-Healer school, and the “Electro Titan attack with Bat Spell” of the array removal school. No doubt, strategy enthusiasts will find pleasure and excitement in such situations.

As a mobile game in the war strategy category, Clash of Clans has been in operation for ten years, and each of its updates is full of sincerity. Especially this time, the Town Hall Level 15 is an update with the richest content in history, bringing an overall renewal of gameplay and schools and striving for more fun on the basis of the balance.

Bravely Default II New Details Revealed Showing New Jobs And Characters

Square Enix has put out a new trailer for Bravely Default II, showcasing new characters, job classes as well as the new area.

The new area is called Rimedhal, and is a snowy city full of devout followers of the Lord of Dragons. The area also introduces two new Asterisk users, bringing back classic Final Fantasy jobs to the game.

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

One of the new characters is Martha Pendragon, the holder of the Dragoon Asterisk. Her family are the defenders of the Serpent’s Grotto, where the Lord of Dragons is believed to dwell.

Defeating Martha will get you the Dragoon asterisk, allowing you to use the class. This class specializes in long spears, being able to do powerful jumping attacks for big damage.

Gladys Llewelyn is the holder of the Swordsmaster Asterisk, whose family looks to punish fairies with the Lord of Dragons’ judgement. She works for Chief Inquisitor Helio, looking to avenge her parents with her crusade.
Defeating Gladys gets you the Swordmaster Asterisk, which lets you use different stances for a variety of powerful attacks. You can also use powerful counters, giving you all sorts of tactical options.

Chief Inquisitor Helio is the holder of the Spiritmaster Asterisk, leading a quest to persecute Fairies with the Lord of Dragon’s judgement. He serves Archbishop Domenic, with characters like Gladys serving under him to this end.
You can get the Spiritmaster Asterisk off of Helio, which acts as this game’s variant of the Summoner class. According to Square Enix, you can use it to summon “ethereal beings” to cast status effects on groups of enemies.

Archbishop Domenic is the Archbishop of Rimedhal, acting as the will of the Lord of Dragons. His prayers are allegedly responsible for the warming of Rimedhal, though not much else is known about him.
Domenic is the holder of the Oracle Asterisk, which when used by your character will let you “Control space and time” via “Esoteric” abilities.
Glenn Brennan is the final new Asterisk holder Square Enix showed off, and he uses the Salve Maker Asterisk. According to Square he’s looking for an item to help his brother, who’s been grieving for seven days straight.
With the Salve Maker Asterisk, you can combine items to create deadly combinations. Considering how wild you could get with previous Bravely games, this looks like a great Job for the adventurous players.
Card Games

A common trope in big RPGs is the addition of some sort of card game, similar to Triple Triad in Final Fantasy 8 or Gwent in The Witcher. Bravely Default joins this list with Bind n Divide, a card game where you aim for control of a board against your opponent.
You’ll also have Job cards which will allow you to cast various abilities, allowing you to better control the board against your opponents.
Bravely Default II will be out February 26th, 2021.

Dota Dragon’s Blood Season 2 announced for January, Marci in Fall

As The International 10 heads into finals Sunday, Dota Dragon’s Blood Season 2 AND Marci’s addition to Dota 2 has been announced! Dota Dragon’s Blood season 2 looks to feature Lina Inverse, and possibly even Chen – at least, until the trailer gets released for proper combing – as Davion’s saga continues. The anime will be available on Netflix come January 2022. It seems to promise a lot of dragons, to say the least.

However, you don’t have much to wait for Marci’s playable appearance! The silent powerhouse will be arriving to the game in the Fall, looking to have her fists imbued with bone-shattering power. She probably won’t make her competitive debut for a while yet as new heroes don’t immediately get added to Captain’s Mode, so stay tuned for that.

The Last of Us HBO Series Episode 1 First Impressions – It Does Justice To The Game

The first episode of The Last of Us Series has premiered on HBO Max giving fans a taste of how PlayStation’s big-budget cinematic first-party games can be turned into actual cinema/television (or at the very least do it better than Uncharted did).

To be honest, that was probably the biggest thing I was wondering about the series going in. The Last of Us, with its hi-resolution character models and top-notch voice acting, The Last of Us already felt like a fully told blockbuster and didn’t really need an adaptation. So now that said adaption has spread throughout HBO, does it do anything to stand out? Well, only one episode has been released so far, but yeah, it stood out quite a bit.

More Time In The World
The first episode set itself apart pretty fast with a greater focus on setting up the world. We see more of the fungi outbreak that slowly caused the collapse of civilization, from a talk show host discussing a hypothetical worst-case scenario to Joel, Tommy, and Sarah racing through the burning streets with infected sinking their teeth into their former neighbors, that worst case now being proven true.
Perhaps it’s because we’ve all sat through a viral pandemic, but hearing radio reports of the infection coming to Jakarta and people thinking “ah well it’ll never come here” as they go on with their day feels almost nostalgically naive. It builds a sense of dread knowing that’ll be the last time they’ll experience peaceful days like these. Seeing this ordinary neighborhood turn to violence and death likewise is done with a heart-pumping sense of panic, especially when it settles in that there’s no escape and solution.

20 Years Later
This course leads to the time skip to 20 years later. The zombie apocalypse has taken its toll with most of America a ruined wasteland and the remaining survivors grouped into quarantine zones run under martial law by a military that’s just barely hanging on. This is where I felt the show really stood out.
When playing The Last of Us, I didn’t actually spend too much time in the quarantine zone, as I quickly went to take Joel and Tess to get their car engine and eventually start smuggling out Ellie but here the film really takes its time to synch in what the new normal is for these people.
You see, the decrepit state of the FEDRA regime. They kill infected children via lethal injection all while calmly reassuring them good food and toys, then having their bodies burned like they were little more than garbage. You see people being executed for breaking quarantine and the overall grime and claustrophobia of the people forced to live here. It really weighs on you just how bad everything is. This is enhanced by the top-notch production value that brilliantly captures the desolate atmosphere, even the rations they use for money look crumbled and worn.
Joel and Ellie

This brings us to our leading duo, Joel Miller is contracted by the rebel group known as the Fireflies to bring a young girl named Ellie to their base because she may just hold a cure to the infection.
Pedro Pascal has shown a wide range of acting chops from The Mandolorian, to The Unbearable Weight of MAssive Talent to even Wonder Woman 1984 and he brings it here. He’s able to bring out the different sides of Joel, the mundane everyman of the beginning and the broken man of the wasteland who’ll do anything to get by. I especially liked the scene of him tossing the child’s corpses into the bomb fire. While he stoically does the job, you can see the sadness in his eyes.

As for Ellie, I actually thought she was kinda bratty but hey, I thought game Ellie was a bit bratty too when I first met her so she’s got the character down right. Bella Ramsey gives a lot of life to Ellie, portraying the character’s fiery bad attitude but still maintaining a bit of childlike wonder. There’s this great scene where she tricks Joel into telling him a radio code and her smug face was lovably cheeky. It not only showed her resourcefulness but also that she’s still a kid (kids love one-upping adults like that).
We have to watch more of the series to see their relationship evolve together but for now, it’s a good start for the both of them.
The Last of Us

I’ve mainly been going over the Last of Us TV Series as someone who played the game but I should clarify that it works perfectly well as a standalone series, in fact in some way it works better since many of its creative choices seem to be made for new-time viewers.
In a game, you’re free to explore the world as you please see for yourself how decrepit it is. In a series, however, you can’t, any of the implied cruelty needs to be shown upfront, which the show is more than happy to provide. You see the harsh reality of this world firsthand, how the normal world is ripped from them and what they now must face surviving. This is delivered perfectly through the performance of Pascal who goes the full range with Joel, capturing each aspect of the character from his best to his worst.
I’m not sure I’d say The Last of Us HBO Series is the best video game adaptation ever made but it is up there. Whether you are a fan or a newcomer, it shows the best of the game’s story in a way that feels faithful but still a unique entity in its own right.
