At just 17.9 mm (0.7 in), the new generation of the Predator Triton 300 SE (PT314-51s) allows users to play the latest games on-the-go. The portable 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs) notebook features up to the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 H35-series Special Edition processor that reaches up to 5 GHz for blisteringly fast performance and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30601 Laptop GPUs into its clean and Spartan-like all-metal chassis. A dual-fan cooling system includes the latest 5th Gen AeroBlade Fan and Acer’s Vortex Flow technology to keep temperatures in check during heavy gaming sessions. This generation’s all-metal Aeroblade Fan features wingtips that increase air intake and an innovative wind guide that minimalizes turbulence and redirects airflow to critical components, resulting in a 10% performance increase over the previous generation. Acer’s Vortex Flow is a design concept that serves to create an aerodynamic flow inside the chassis, consisting of heat pipes, exhaust vents and a pair of strategically placed flans that enhance cooling on the CPU, GPU and other critical components, ultimately increasing performance.

Whether playing games or watching films, players will appreciate the Predator Triton 300 SE’s 14-inch FHD display that boasts a 144 Hz refresh rate and is surrounded by three thin bezels. 10 hours of battery life provides players with the flexibility to squeeze in a bit of study between gaming sessions, or to hang out in their favorite stream for a while after a hard day’s work. A backlit 3-zone RGB keyboard enhances gaming, while DTS:X Ultra audio provides a boost in-game by providing crisp and well-balanced sound to help players pinpoint where an enemy is hiding. In addition to Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650, the Predator Triton 300 SE has a wide range of ports, including Thunderbolt™ 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI. Finally, PredatorSense and a Turbo key give players real-time control over their fan speed, enabling them to choose quieter modes when working or editing content and a full-powered one for gaming.
Predator Helios 300 – Fast, Fluid and Future-Proof Gameplay

The Predator Helios 300 (PH315-53) has been refreshed to include the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU and up to 32 GB of DDR4[1] memory to give gamers all the performance they need to conquer this generation of games — and the next. These heavy-duty internals power the notebook’s 240 Hz IPS display with a 3 ms response, allowing for silky smooth visuals, while DTS:X Ultra audio and 3D simulated surround sound allow for an even more immersive audio experience. The notebook is supported by two fans, including one of Acer’s custom-engineered AeroBlade 3D Fans, while Acer’s CoolBoost™ technology enables the fans to adjust in order to keep critical areas continuously cooled.

Acer Nitro 5 — Get Into the Game

The Nitro 5 has historically been about maximizing value per dollar, and this generation takes up the torch with the combined power of the 11th Gen Intel Core H35-series processors, NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs and up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM. These specs provide players with all the power necessary for smooth gameplay across the most popular titles, and a pair of M.2 PCIe / SATA SSDs offer plenty of storage for enthusiasts who play a variety of titles. For situations where less noise or more power would be ideal, the built-in NitroSense app gives users a convenient means to check system temperatures, adjust fan speeds and more.
While this performance can be appreciated as soon as a game is booted up, users will immediately notice the notebook’s cleaner chassis and narrower bezels that allow for an 80% screen-to-body ratio. The device’s screen offers blur-free gameplay with its 144 Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time, and its 300-nit panel brings games to life with colors that pop. Regardless of what’s happening on the screen or under the hood, Acer’s innovations in thermal management ensure the Nitro 5 continues running cool. In addition to a pair of fans and a quad-exhaust port design, Acer CoolBoost™ Technology increases fan speed by 10% and CPU/GPU cooling by 9% compared to auto mode.

In addition, a number of fun and innovative features add finishing touches improve the overall gaming experience of the Nitro 5. The notebook’s charging port has been moved to the back of the chassis so the power cord is out of the way, while USB Type-C™ Thunderbolt™ 4 support and Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) ensure speedy connections. The keyboard has 4-zone RGB, letting users spice things up to suit their preferences.

Corey Bowen Says Commander In MtG Phyrexia Set Is About Toxic Creatures, Not Toxic Plays

Commander is a bit of an oddity in Magic: The Gathering. What started as a fun way to use off-rotation cards has become its own scene within the card game community, allowing players to create unhinged combos with cards years apart in release.

For those who might be new to MtG, Phyrexia: All Will Be One returns a lot of older mechanics to wreak havoc on the battlefield among your friends. Poison Counters let you bypass your opponent’s defenses, winning the game with an alternate win condition by stacking them up. Meanwhile Oil Counters give creatures effects as long as they can hold their oil counters, so you’ve got to manage your resources well.

We caught up with Corey Bowen, Lead Designer for the Commander format in MtG Phyrexia: All Will Be One to talk how the latest chapter of Phyrexian shenanigans were improving old mechanics by putting them front and center.
Corey Bowen, Lead Designer (Commander) MTG Phyrexia: All Will Be One
I think one thing of the most glaring things any Commander player might notice is the use of Toxic as a keyword instead of the previous Poison Counter-based keywords, making it harder to synergize with older Infect cards. Was there a version of the development where you tried to use the older keywords?
Corey: When the ONE Commander team started its work, Toxic was already pretty stable and decided upon in the main set, so we used Toxic and didn’t look back. You’ll also find through playing the deck, that toxic synergizes cleanly with infect and the two mechanics don’t have a hard time fitting in the same deck.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Considering how many other Phyrexian-centric expansions we’ve had in the past, were there any old cards you wanted to make relevant with this set?
Corey: Smaller, evasive infect creatures were made more relevant with the Toxic deck. Those cards are typically weak in commander, but efficient ways to run out three poison counters on your opponents is the entire game plan of Ixhel. The RW deck also has a legendary creature in it that is trying to get players interested in building a Rebels deck if they want, or even an experience counters strategy.
Image Credit: Wizards of the Coast
Proliferate in particular seems to be a really interesting ability, working well with both Poison and Oil counters. Could you talk more about fitting that in to Commander?
Corey: Proliferate has been long-loved in Commander and is one of the most popular way to synergize with any counter-centric strategies. For us, proliferate was an awesome tool to help make our cards more relevant in more decks. We’d design a proliferate card designed for the poison deck that also happens to be good in a +1/+1 counters deck or a Planeswalkers deck.
With Commander being as all-spanning a format as it is, could you talk about concerns like accidentally making older cards too powerful or also powercreeping old, dominant cards?
Corey: We have a team that tests our cards against older commanders or potentially dangerous combinations of cards. There are enough cards in Magic that we can’t avoid them all. My main philosophy is to avoid making legendary creatures that have an unfun combo with a single other card, or avoid making cards where they are only useful or fun if you’re doing a problematic game pattern.
Image Credit: Wizards of the Coast
Are there any potential Commanders you’re really excited to see get some use in this set?
Corey: I’m a big fan of the new RW phoenix in the RW tokens deck.

With Phyrexia: All Will Be One launching this week, there’s a lot to look forward to. Standard players and Commander players will both have plenty of new cards to sift through, building either entirely new playstyles or reinforcing old staples.
Out thanks to Corey Bowen for taking time to chat with us about what Commander players can look forward to in the new set.

Family Trainer, a Fun-For-All Exercise Game, Announced for Nintendo Switch

Family Trainer is the latest entry in the  Nintendo Switch’s growing exercise catalogue, letting you exercise along with your family when it releases September 3rd.

The game seems to bring an almost theme-park level of activity into your living room, letting you do events like snowboarding, obstacle courses as well as kayaking.

The game makes use of the same leg band as used in Ring Fit Adventure, keeping one Joycon strapped to track your leg actions like running or jumping. The rest of the controls are assigned to the other Joy Con,with what they do tied to the event at hand.
The key selling point of Family Trainer seems to be that it’s more group-oriented, with the idea being that you pass the controllers between the rest of your family to try out the different events. Bandai Namco Entertainment confirmed as much with their description of the game’s target audience:

Simple controls and intuitive play make the game easy to pick up and play, and let players of any age get physical while having fun. The game also features a multiplayer mode* that will let players go head-to-head to see who can get the highest score or work together as a team to achieve a common goal.
There’s also a multiplayer mode, but that requires an additional pair of Joy Cons as well as a leg strap, basically meaning you’ll need a second Switch and copy of the game.

Players review bomb PUBG after game goes free to play

The PC and console version of PUBG suffered a review bomb from angry players in response to the game’s transition to a free-to-play model. On Steam, the game is currently sitting at mixed reviews after a slew of negative reviews filled its store page.

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

Since it was a paid game priced at $29.99 prior to its free-to-play transition on January 12th, many players have voiced their displeasure, demanding refunds. While developer Krafton has implemented bonuses and various additional features for owners of the game prior to the transition, these have done little to assuage the player base’s ire.
Besides players demanding refunds, another issue raised by players includes the increase in the number of cheaters. Players are worried that with the game being more accessible than ever, the game’s cheating and hacking problems will also become more rampant.

It’s also worth noting that ever since the game went free-to-play, the game has doubled its Steam player count in the past month, according to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad.

PUBG hit 670k peak concurrent players on Steam today, after going free to play.
This is double its usual concurrent user figure in the past month.
However, the game also received 13x the usual number of negative reviews from people that previously paid / annoyed by cheaters. https://t.co/kX1jmpjawu
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) January 12, 2022

The current predicament surrounding PUBG isn’t the first instance of players getting upset at a paid game going free-to-play. Back in December 2018, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive suffered the same problem after it went free-to-play.
Realistically, the review bomb seems unlikely to affect PUBG in the long term. The PUBG franchise’s popularity and success are simply too immense, with its mobile version and its successor, PUBG: New State going strong.

Capcom Collab Quests
This announcement was part of Capcom’s previously announced roadmap for Monster Hunter Rise, which involved multiple Capcom collaborations. The first one was with Monster Hunter Stories 2, wherein both games received the starting armor set from each other in their games.
Three more Capcom Collab Quests are planned on the roadmap, with Collab Quest 3 due out in August while 4 and 5 are slated for the fall.
Looking back, Amaterasu is a perfect fit for a collaboration with Monster Hunter Rise- aside from being a wolf, the game itself focuses on a lot of traditional Japanese aesthetic, similar to Rise’s own focus on Japanese folklore.
Monster Hunter Rise hasn’t gotten new Monster content since the major 3.0 update which saw the addition of monsters like Crimson Glow Valstrax to the game, as well as wrapping up the main story.

Reliving My Awkward Teenage Life in The Sims 4 High School Years – Preview

The Sims 4 High School Years expansion pack is EA’s upcoming DLC to the Sims franchise, and we got the opportunity to preview it.

Relive your teenager years, or in my case, an entirely new re-imagination of an ideal one in an alternate universe that wasn’t filled with embarrassing moments and anxiety inducing experiences.

For most of us, high-school is a time filled with trying to get to know yourself better through self-discovery and carving out your own-life path, and the High-school expansion pack manages to encapsulate that high school spirit.
Players get to live out their dreams of making the most out of their high school lives as a teenager, exploring their teen’s identity and even testing out the boundaries full of choices and personal growth.

Just like how I tested the boundaries of how much I can skimp out on food so that I can save up enough money to buy those damned Pokemon Ancient Origins booster packs. You can
One day I will get that Mega Tyranitar EX card, one day…
Here in Copperdale High where your Sims will attend, they will be able to attend classes, hang out with friends at Thifty which a combination of a boba tea/thrift shop, and even go out on dates downtown.
Something that I didn’t quite experience back in my time at high school. But hey, at least I get to experience that virtually!
The High School Experience^TM
Follow your Sims as they go on with their lives of attending classes, having lunch with friends, hanging out, and take those weekly exams that contribute towards their overall grade.
You do this all while experiencing the social drama of high school including dealing with crushes, figuring out who you are as person, dealing with the messy relationships that come with being a teenager after school. Man, teenagers sure do have it rough.
Students are also able to mingle around and socialise with the others by participating in clubs after school, like the football team, the cheerleading club, the chess club or even the computer club. The choices are yours to choose!
Just like any other teenager, your Sims will also have a rebellious streak where they might wind up in detention. They can skip classes, get into a fight with other students, and even find ways to cause mischief and pranks.
Your Sims will face the consequences of their actions though, so it’s up to you to steer them into the right direction, or just don’t let them get caught.
Just like that one time I skipped class to go on trip to the Cybercafe with some of my mates, we coincidentally walked pass our Headmistress who just so happened to be off-duty and was on her way to school.
We got chewed out a lot and I will never forgive you for that Puan Tee.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the full high school experience without attending prom and graduation. Players get to customise every aspect of the prom event, all the stuff from planning the event itself, to preparing for the night, and even engaging in Prom activities such as dancing and voting for Prom King & Queen.
The high school experience culminates in the Graduation event, a ceremony that marks the pinnacle of your time in Copperdale. The decisions that your Sims make through their time in high-school will directly impact how their graduation will play out, which makes the perfect bookend for their high school lives.
The highs and lows of Highschool, Lowschool
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
The teenage years are important, it’s a time to find friends and figure out budding relationships. Players will have the opportunity to navigate through these challenges. The joys of young love, whether it be the blissful and ignorant crush stage, the “promposal”, and the difficulties of a breakup.
Rather than reliving that painful experience that happened to you in your real life, now you have the luxury of reviling that same exact painful experience, but virtually while you mess up your Sim’s life!
A word of advice from the devs, Plumbite Pier is a great place to bring people on a first date. The place is packed with rides, a haunted house, the tunnel of love and even a Ferris wheel.
Along with those amusement rides, there’s even a photo booth and an ice cream stand that you can visit. Though I would recommend going to the photo booth first, before you stuff your face with ice cream.
They got that drip though
The Sims 4: High School Years expansion pack has a variety of outfits that your Sims can rock. Not only do they have varying outfits, but also different bedroom styles.
EA has put a lot on emphasis on the bedroom styling so that everyone can carve out their own identity, the bedroom are as much characters as the characters are.
The expansion pack has added in a large catalogue of objects to decorate the room with, such as gaming chairs, wall lights, mirrors, and all sorts of cool new decor. Decorating your Sim’s room in a certain way can also unlock different types of actions that your Sims are able to make.
Sims can do their hair, do personal grooming, sitting cross-legged in bed while chatting, being able to do pillow fights, be able to use your phone or even just read in bed.
Going back to the extensive fashion variety available in the game, the development team had worked together with Depop – a community-powered circular fashion marketplace, in order to bring in some clothing made in the real-world by depop and influencers alike to add a little bit more of pop authenticity.
A lot of this is tied with the new shop that is available in the expansion pack – Thrifty, which is a mix between a Boba Tea place and a Thrift shop, as well as an app called “Trendy” where players can hype up and sell outfits that you can create and make your Sim as a style influencer.
With the creative style that is available in the expansion pack being so broad, it doesn’t matter if you’re a geek, jock, skater, hipster and emo, there’s something for everybody.

Who anyone who are interested in pre-ordering the Sims 4: High School Years by September 8th, the pre-order will include some digital Sim items such as the Groove Tube Wireless Speaker, Spine Reticulating Gamer Chair, and Tri Hard LED Panels.
The Sims 4: High School Years expansion pack DLC is scheduled to release on July 28th, 2022 on Steam, Origin, the EA App, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X & S.
For more information about the DLC pack and pre-orders, do check out the official Sims 4 website. We would also like to thank EA for letting us preview the expansion pack.

Cyberpunk 2077 to add epilepsy warning

With Cyberpunk 2077 on the horizon for many users, reviewers – us included – can finally try out the game and inform people of what we think of the game. There’s another layer to that: we get to find out about any potential issues, and Game Informer has one serious PSA for those who may be prone to epilepsy, and even those who may have an undiagnosed condition.

Rapidly blinking lights are a common trigger, which is one thing. Another is having a device in game that, if not directly modelled by, is very accurate to a real life device that is designed to trigger epileptic episodes. This device plays a large role in the game, as a Braindance is what allows players to interface with memories in the title. Here’s what Liana Ruppert says of the device:

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

When “suiting up” for a BD, especially with Judy, V will be given a headset that is meant to onset the instance. The headset fits over both eyes and features a rapid onslaught of white and red blinking LEDs, much like the actual device neurologists use in real life to trigger a seizure when they need to trigger one for diagnosis purposes. If not modeled off of the IRL design, it’s a very spot-on coincidence, and because of that this is one aspect that I would personally advise you to avoid altogether. When you notice the headset come into play, look away completely or close your eyes. This is a pattern of lights designed to trigger an epileptic episode and it very much did that in my own personal playthrough.
CD Projekt Red have responded and will be working to add an additional warning as well as a more permanent solution to come:
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Thank you for bringing this up. We’re working on adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the EULA (https://cyberpunk.net/en/user-agreement/). Regarding a more permanent solution, Dev team is currently exploring that and will be implementing it as soon as possible.
Accessibility in gaming has increasingly gotten more traction, and definitely, everyone deserves to play games. The warnings and options do not harm anyone and in fact, will help a lot more people than we may realize, which is honestly a topic worth discussing. In any case, should you be prone to epilepsy or even just sensitive to light, proceed into Cyberpunk 2077 with some caution.

Cyberpunk 2077Publisher: CD Projekt RedDeveloper: CD Projekt RedRelease Date: 2020-12-10Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Play as V, wanting to make their mark in Night City. Tech is a lot of things, and there'll be plenty to find here. With immense character customization and many story branches waiting for you to discover, what will your Cyberpunk experience be?

“In the Interview I had with Ryozo the other day, he confirmed that the PC version is in development”, Arrekz said in his latest video. “He confirmed people are pretty excited for it to come to PC so they’ve started work on a PC version of the game and that is slated for early 2022”.

That being said, the title would not release simultaneously with the Switch version next month, instead scheduled to launch some time in 2022. No dates had been confirmed for the PC release outside of the 2022 window.
Monster Hunter Rise marks the series return to portable consoles, after the series brief stint in home consoles in Monster Hunter World and its expansion Iceborne. Prior to the announcement it was coming to PC, it also marked the series’ return to Nintendo exclusivity, since most games prior to World had been on the WiiU and Nintendo 3DS.

According to the description, this “game” will allow you to wander the halls of the ROG Base, where you can find out more about ROG’s products. It’s meant to coincide with ROG’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Exhibit, and is a great alternative to a crowded event hall.
Despite being a first-person event, the showcase is not listed as supporting VR headsets, so you’ll have to rely on normal mouse-and-keyboard controls to look around the base.
Of course, similar to a real booth at an event, there’s plenty of other things to do, as the trailer also shows off fun mini games, as well as ROG mascots to interact with. These mascots even have voiced lines, welcoming you to the ROG base.
ROG Citadel XV was developed by Moonshine Creation, along with Asus Global.

The sheriff of Vestige on the harsh frontier planet of Gehenna has issued a bounty on the violent, beast-riding Devil Riders gang, and it’s time to collect. The townsfolk are tough as hell and will do what they can to help, but it falls on you to take the fight to the Devil Riders. Put them in the ground so the town can be rebuilt and folks can get back on their feet.

Traverse the open plains of Gehenna on the new, heavily-armed Jetbeast vehicle! Four new interactive objects will be adding the spice of life to your run and gun encounters. Enjoy the company of an unseen narrator as you tackle new story and side missions. Rebuild the town of Vestige, where each of your successes has a tangible impact. Take on a host of additional Crew Challenges, like tracking down treasure or claiming bounties on beasts and bandits alike. Last but not least, there will be, of course, the collection of new Legendary loot and cosmetics pried from the cold, dead hands of rowdy gang members and feral critters.

“With a new performance hybrid architecture in addition to industry leading I/O, memory and connectivity support, 12th Gen Intel Core H-series processors deliver the blazing fast performance and platform capabilities that today’s gamers demand. The new Acer lineup of gaming notebooks with 12th Gen Intel Core feature incredible designs that gamers of all levels will be excited to play on.“

Predator Triton 500 SE — Thin Gaming Laptop
The Predator Triton 500 SE (PT516-52s) is a “special edition” laptop for gaming and work. On the inside, up to a 12th Gen Intel® CoreTM i9 processor, an NVIDIA® GeForce RTXTM 3080 Ti Laptop GPU and 32 GB of 5200 MHz LPDDR5 memory dish out the extreme performance necessary for the latest games. On the outside, its all-metal spartan-styled aesthetics let it blend perfectly into the workplace or lecture hall. Just 19.9 mm (0.75 in) at its thinnest point, the laptop can go wherever users do, while up to 2TB of high-speed PCIe Gen4 storage offers plenty of space for games and files.
Backing up this powerful hardware is state-of-the-art cooling technology. The laptop utilizes a triple-fan system, including two 5th Gen AeroBladeTM 3D fans with 89 metal blades each. Acer’s Vortex Flow technology redirects the airflow those fans generate to critical components, while strategically-placed thermal foam, liquid-metal thermal grease on the CPU, and four heat pipes further improve cooling. Performance boost aside, this means that users won’t be feeling the heat while making the most of the long battery life granted by the laptop’s large 99.98 Wh battery.

Content looks great on the Triton 500 SE’s 16-inch display. Gamers will appreciate the industry- leading WQXGA (2560×1600) panel’s 240Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time, topped off with support from the frame-syncing power of NVIDIA® G-SYNC® technology. Content creators will appreciate 500 nits of brightness, 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and a productivity-boosting 16:10 aspect ratio—plus an SD 7.0 card reader for offloading content.

This hardware muscle powers up to a 15.6-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a 165 Hz refresh rate—and with a revamped, cleaner chassis, the outside of the laptop looks great, too. A thin light bar below the palm rest (configurable via PredatorSense) lets the device retain its gamer aesthetic in a slightly more subtle fashion.

A dual-fan layout that includes one 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fan helps the keep the system running cool, further supported by liquid metal thermal grease and Acer’s CoolBoostTM technology. A single press of the built-in PredatorSense button offers users control over the fan speed via four preset operating modes, while a single press of the built-in Turbo key instantly maxes out these settings for improved gaming performance. Upping the cool factor, the laptop’s mini-LED backlit keyboard features per-key RGB.

Running Windows 11, the laptop comes with Killer DoubleShot Pro (E2600+1675i) and WiFi 6E connectivity in addition to a healthy range of ports, including an HDMI 2.1 for connecting to external monitors or consoles, a ThunderboltTM Type-C port, and two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, one of which allows users to charge a mobile device even if the laptop is turned off.

Disgaea RPG – A dood’s interview with Sohei Niikawa

It’s been a bit since the world at large received Disgaea RPG, the mobile spin-off of the titular Disgaea series. We take a little time with Nippon Ichi Software’s President, Sohei Niikawa, for an email interview regarding Disgaea RPG.

Nippin Ichi Software President, Sohei Niikawa
Is there a particular reason why Disgaea RPG uses an active-time turn-based system instead of the main titles’ strategy RPG system?

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

Disgaea RPG is a mobile game, and I think that the fun of playing Disgaea series is based on developing characters. During the development process, we focused on the mobile experience and unique control gestures of mobile players. We hope that fans will enjoy it regardless, as the fun will never change.
Ed. note: The previous games are SRPGs which were console releases, though a number of them have since seen mobile ports themselves.

What about Disgaea RPG‘s crossovers / collaborations with other IPs?
We’ve had a number of famous IPs in the Japanese version, including non-Disgaea ones from other studios. We’re always listening to our audience and finding more chances to work with others in the future!
One of the aforementioned collabs.
In the Disgaea series, one of its unique features is having a character upgraded all the way up to Lv. 9999. It can be pretty shocking to newcomers, so what would you say to them?
Lv. 9999, and dealing unthinkable amounts of damage is one of the most exciting things in the series, where players can build their character whichever way they want. I can give one tip: persistence is gold, so just focus on raising your favourite character every day and you’ll hit that target!
Will there be original characters coming soon?
Yes, we have designed some and are planning to show them in future updates. Most of them will be announced during a regular story event. Besides that, there’s the Main Story and raid events where you can see these original characters be part of the story, so please stay tuned.
What other classic gameplay elements will you be bringing to the mobile game?
We’ve already implemented a number of them, and we’re still working on refining and adding on to them. The mobile game system’s doesn’t just bring in the familiarity from the series, but we’ve put in a lot of effort so that existing fans and newcomers will be able to fully enjoy our “most evil RPG”.

Due to the different release dates, content schedule can be expected to differ. How do you decide update schedules and improvements?
We’ve made changes to match the playstyles of the regional players, taking in their suggestions. We’re working to keep to an update frequency of 1 to 2 months, with new events every week for players to enjoy more stories from the Disgaea series. Be sure to not miss out!
How is balancing done, so that F2P players and spenders don’t have a wide gap?
The design follows the Japanese version, so most of the time we adjust based on how much time players take to complete a level. We also consider that players will spend different amounts of time on the same game, so special goodies will be provided to ensure players can have a good experience in Disgaea RPG while they build their favourite character.
Speaking of which, the Disgaea series also achieved 5 million sales worldwide, with a celebratory message from Sohei Niikawa himself to commemorate the milestone. What else is there to say except congratulations, and here’s to more evil goodness? The Japanese release of the game is steadily approaching its second anniversary – global players best keep an eye out to see what they can look forward to!

Firefox Down: Browser fails to Connect to the Internet and How to Fix It

A new Firefox update caused the browser to go down today, as it wouldn’t connect to the internet and in some cases even crash.

Currently stuck with @firefox.Sites won’t load. Not even a status on the bottom left. Can load sites after refreshing FF but will revert back to this after a few minutes. Refreshed, reinstalled, restarted (pc), still nothing. Already reported. pic.twitter.com/D74PNDR4JY

— Ced 🚲🖥🎮 (@smithees) January 13, 2022

Users report that the outage is similar to not having an Internet connection- though the effect was localized entirely to Mozilla Firefox, meaning other browsers could still access the Internet, and more importantly, tweet about it.

“Didn’t even know it was possible for a browser like this to go down centrally. Are we routing through a Mozilla server every time we load a webpage in firefox or something? What the heck”, writes one redditor.
In more extreme cases, trying to load anything would prompt Firefox to straight-up crash, or become non-responsive.
The official Firefox Twitter account hasn’t officially commented on the issue, although the community seems to have tracked down the issue.
For those who enjoy technical information, it looks like the bug causes an infinite loop in one of the processes, making the browser eat CPU while not loading any pages.
How To Fix The Firefox Down Issue
As someone who uses Firefox, I had the issue as well, and managed to fix it by simply refreshing the browser, though several users report that it doesn’t work for everyone.
The community seems to have pinned the fix as follows (thanks to Twitter user @Aussermayr for the fix).:

 Type ‘about:config’ in Firefox search bar
 Search for ‘network.http.http3.enabled’
 Switch to ‘false’
  Restart the browser

“While browsing, pages suddenly stopped loading. A look with htop showed the main process’ socket thread eating 100% CPU and a look with perf top showed it jumping around Http3 ReadSegments and OnReadSegment code.”, writes Jan Alexander Steffens, who reported the bug to the database.
“It’s not related to a specific version, we’re getting reports ESR is even affected. Suspicion is around some long existing HTTP3 bug that’s being triggered by an external service updating.” writes user Gian-Carlo Pascutto.
Users are also saying that it’s affecting the auto updater, so there’s no word on how Mozilla plans to get a fix out.

King of Fighters XV Team South Town DLC First Impressions

The fiendish fowls of Team South Town: Geese Howard, Billy Kane, and Ryuji Yamazaki have made their way to The King of Fighters XV.

They are the second team of DLC fighters following Team Garou (which coincidentally includes Geese’s son Rock Howard). The team costs a hefty RM75/$15.99 but for that price, you get three popular fighters with both default and alternate costumes. So, can Team South Town face the fury of The King of Fighters XV?

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

I’ll be honest, reviewing DLC characters for fighting games can be tough as ultimately players are still experimenting with what can be done with these guys but I’ll give my impressions on how I’ve found each of them as a more casual KOF player.
Geese Howard

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

Let’s start with the main man himself, the powerful crimelord, the archenemy of Terry Borgard with a pension for falling off his own tower: Geese Howard. I’ll have to start by saying that while Geese looks pretty sharp in his suit and tie, I’m glad SNK bundled in his iconic kimono as an alternate costume. The world’s strongest weeaboo just isn’t the same without it.
Preditaburi, Geese’s strengths as a fighter lie in his powerful combo grabs. With one quick flip, he can quite literally turn the tides of battle. He’s a very versatile fighter, with great normal game. His reppukens make for fast zoning projectiles, he has good jabs, and his standing D, crouching C, and Raging Storm make for reliable anti-airs.
It’s also very easy to string together strong combos with him. His fudou ken serves as a reliable straight palm from which he can combo further or go into multiple stances.
I initially picked Geese out without looking at his moveset, yet I could easily pull his normals and specials into combos for a decent chunk of damage. It made him fun to play as and by the end of my session, I really wanted to learn how to use him better.
Overall, you don’t simply include Geese Howard in your fighting game and make him strong as hell itself. Hail to the King Weeb of South Town.
Billy Kane

The brutish brit that brought a bow staff to a fist fight. Billy Kane has been Geese’s right-hand man since the original Fatal Fury and is still fighting with him to this day. Like his boss, I actually prefer his alternate costume to his default with the leather jacket giving him that London punk look that suits him all so well.
Billy fights with a three-segmented staff that gives him a good amount of range and anti-air abilities. Someone gets too close: poke them with the poll. That being said he’s also got more than keep-away tools. His Senpuu Kon spinning staff and Tsuigeki Kon counter moves are good for punishing those that get too close.
I also really liked his pole vaulting moves. These launch him into the air and can allow him to slam down on opponents from above. They were his most fun moves but they can be risky. He’ll be vulnerable when launching himself so they need to be timed well.
If I’m being honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Billy’s playstyle. While it was fun to bonk guys with the poll, I found that his moves didn’t flow into each other quite as well as they did for Geese and Yamazaki. I’m sure with more practice I could make more effective use of him but for now, he’s probably why least favorite of the South Town Trio.
Ryuji Yamazaki

The man that really should have guest-starred in a Yakuza game by now, Yamazaki. I actually like both his costumes equally. He looks slick with the white jacket, he looks slick without the white jacket. Yamazaki’s unhinged aura of danger remains regardless.
This guy is a pure rush-down character, full of offense combined with even more offense. He has fast attacks with good range, meaning that he can easily pressure opponents with his great mixup potential. His serpent slash in particular is a fast jab and great anti-air that be lead to some high-damage combos. I have to give SNK credit for making the guy’s playstyle feel so very in character.
All this comes at a price though. He may have high offense but Yamazaki is far from a unga bunga fighter; he is very execution heavy and requires a lot of precision to use. You need to know stance cancels, special cancels, and the exact timing to do them right or it’s game over.
He also doesn’t have any fast reversals. Combine this with his rather weak okizeme and corner carry and you do have to be more careful with Ryuji or the tides of battle can be easily turned on him. While he can give a good amount of punish, you have to make sure he doesn’t take any himself.
Team South Town

As a whole Team South Town are three classic characters that more than deserve a place in King of Fighters XV. Of the three Geese was by far my favorite and the one I had the easiest time learning. That’s not to say Billy or Yamazaki are bad, they just require more time to practice with or might just not be for me.
One thing that might harm most people who want to learn this team is their price. Team Southtown is priced at RM75/15.99. Even for three characters, that’s almost half the price of the full game meaning it may not be worth getting if you’re only interested in one of the characters.
With that being said if you’re serious about competing in The King of Fighters XV, I would ultimately say they’re worth picking it up. I can see all three of these guys getting a healthy amount of screen time online and they have a lot of potential to spice up your team.
Learn to use them right and when you’re against an opponent, you’ll be staining your hands, with their brood.

Medal of King: Operation Rainbow – A Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege clone for mobile to launch soon?

We have seen a lot of ‘PUBG clones’ recently, and now here is a mobile game from China that appears to be cloning Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege! Titled Medal of King: Operation Rainbow (王者勋章：彩虹行动), the game recently has its official site going live with a countdown timer showing about 2 days left.

Developed by InFunGame, Medal of King: Operation Rainbow is a Third-person shooter that really looks like Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. It features 5 vs 5 battles where you can choose between a roster of characters (with different roles) to complete the mission.

You can use grapple hooks, drones and more in the mission, destructible environments exist in the game too. You can check out the gameplay demo video to know more about its gameplay.
No release date of the game is revealed yet, but we might be getting the game when the countdown timer ends. What is your opinion on this Rainbow Six Siege clone? Leave your comment in the comment section below!
