The Stand throws the bag of popcorn at the man and tells him; “You can see your destiny through a trivial, little thing.” The task is trivial, yes, but the stakes are high, and the popcorn is emblematic of everything this man is. He’s a corn magnate – as ridiculous as that is – and this symbol of his success is also the harbinger of his undoing. It feels to me like a postmodern Aesopica – Aesop’s Fables – and the untimely undoing of once humble, but often selfish characters within. When a goose lays golden eggs the owners slice it open in search of gold surely hidden inside, only to find nothing. This unrivalled greed has always been an undeniable sin, but it takes on a different flavour when under capital
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
By defeating all four Card Masters, Team Snakemouth can earn entry to the Spy Cards tournament on Metal Island. Winning the Spy Cards tournament will reward Team Snakemouth with a Crystal Berry and an exclusive Card Tro
The Maelstrom is a longsword with a damage characteristic of 58 that grants the Scourge augmentation to its user. While the Maelstrom does significantly less damage than the Master Longsword, the Scourge augmentation gives the player a damage bonus to lawful characters thus greatly benefitting a campaign of ultimate e
One of the many games delayed into 2022, Hogwarts Legacy is unlikely to make an E3 2021 appearance . Despite initially planning to release later this year, it seems like there’s still a ways to go in the game’s development. There is a handful of Warner Bros. games that fans are itching to see including Hogwarts Legacy , Gotham Knights , and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League , but the only game the studio will be showing at E3 2021 will be Back 4 Blood . Some fans might hope for another look at Hogwarts Legacy in the form of a “one more thing”-type announcement, but that seems unlik
Fable has an added layer of depth to it that many other similar RPGs didn’t at the time: its morality system. In reality, the morality system at play here really only comes down to your character becoming good or evil, with some gray area in between. While it might not be as nuanced as the system employed in the Mass Effect series, Fable wants you to think about how your actions affect the world of Albion and its inhabita
The Hammerthyst has a damage stat of 78 which is about 20 damage lower than the late-game Master Hammer, not to mention, the Master Hammer costs about 22,000 gold while The Hammerthyst is absolutely free. If acquired early on, this legendary hammer will enable the player to dispose of foes with ease whilst simultaneously taking less damage from enemies due to the Barkskin augmentation ability of The Hammerth
Atlus has been riding high on the Persona series ever since the worldwide release of Persona 5 in 2017. Since then, it has released several spin-off games including Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight , Persona 5 Strikers , and are rumored to be working on a Persona 5 fighting game . The big rumor surrounding Persona for E3 2021 is that Persona 5 Royal will be coming to Game Pass later this year. It’s possible that a Persona -related announcement might come during the Microsoft show, but it’s likely to be about Game Pass and not Persona
Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become something of a white whale for personalized gaming experience 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
It’s so important to be aware of the Silver Keys prior to starting a playthrough of Fable, because most of the chests you’ll stumble across require a specific number to open. There is a risk and reward system at play with the Silver Keys. Do you use the five keys you have in your inventory to open a chest then and there, or do you wait until you find a more valuable chest later on that demands a higher key count? Think it thro
