One of the best moments in the game is the surprise dark moment at the very beginning of the game. Joel loses his daughter, an event that sets him on his nihilistic path. However, the trailer takes this moment away from new players as it shows off the improved graphics for the shiny new
Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become something of a white whale for gaming backlog fans. Every so often, Ubisoft shows some footage or gives a development update on the project, and then it disappears for sometimes years at a time. While it’s unclear exactly when its development started, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in the works for well over ten years at this point but still seems far from being finished. With the September 2020 departure of its director Michel Ancel as well as accusations of abuse in the workplace, Beyond Good and Evil 2 still appears to be struggling in its developm
Bethesda has come forward and said that its main focus is currently on Starfield and that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be taking a back seat until it’s finished. For this reason, it’s all but confirmed that the studio’s follow-up to Skyrim will be absent from E3 2021. Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax last year, plenty of attention has been on Bethesda and what it next big game will be. While Starfield will likely be the star of the show, fans of the Elder Scrolls series have been eager for any updates on the sixth mainline game in the series since its reveal in 2018. Because of how much excitement Starfield is going to generate, it doesn’t make sense that the studio would want to split that up with more Elder Scrolls 6 ne
Most fans won’t be too upset about this one considering Kingdom Hearts has one of the most dragged out and complicated storylines of all time. It would take an expert to even decipher what’s happening in regular gameplay let alone a trai
The world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure focuses on the Joestar family for far too long. It is, after all, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so it makes sense that this titular adventure would follow Jonathan Joestar and his descendants. However, once you’ve caught up to Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable , you start to see that there’s more to the world of JoJo than just one family and a cursed bloodline. Josuke Higashikata , Part 4’s protagonist, starts to take a back seat while his pals and acquaintances step into a more central role. The growth of the initially shy Koichi Hirose into the confident and assertive young lad we see at the beginning of Part 5 is emblematic of that shift. Koichi is, arguably, more of a protagonist than Josuke ever was, with more of the traditional shounen story beats associated with him as opposed to the rest of the cast. This was where it became clear that the world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure deserved to be explored further, away from the Joestar family – and with Netflix’s Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan , we finally get just t
This is when Kishibe Rohan realises that this story, being told to him by the man himself, is impossible. He is dead. Or, should be. And that’s when he reveals that he is alive and well, because he is the same as he has always been: a cheat, with zero empathy for those around him. He used his vast wealth and his legion of servants to quite literally have someone else take his place, forever. The one that has seemingly acted as a corn magnate (sorry I cannot get over this) for years and raised his young daughter is actually a servant that has undergone plastic surgery to look like his master, and the master did the same so he could blend in amongst the servants: a trick so intricate it even had the stupid psychic Stand curse fooled. I also have no doubt that this is where Hideo Kojima gleaned Metal Gear Solid 5 ’s big twist f
Just like Aesop’s Fables, this short, self-contained story has a powerful message, but one that Aesop could never have predicted in a world ravaged by global capitalism. The powerful abuse others, the powerful feel no empathy, and the powerful will use those around them to get what they want, even at the cost of their own happiness. But ultimately, no matter what, the powerful do not feel the brunt of their curse. They do not have to face the consequences of their actions. They just let those around them do it for them, and keep walking forward, living their life. As the man rises from the confessional booth and leaves the church we see the headless servant, bearing the man’s old face, crawl behind him, alongside the homeless man from years before, while the corn magnate himself strolls out, unscathed, with a face that isn’t even his
Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc
