Upon completing a certain quest, Team Snakemouth will gain access to the Underground Tavern. This important location allows them to exchange their Crystal Berries for Medals, along with completing bounties for rewa

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

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

Consequences exist, but unlike in Aesop’s fables, the consequences rarely fall upon those who deserve them in the modern world. They just get pushed onto others who are forced to writhe in the background, cursing those that put them there, but never seeing justice. A bizarre adventure indeed, but one that is more poignant than e

Once players defeat the Wasp King in Bug Fables and participate in the concluding celebration, they have beaten the game. However, the game's not over after the credits roll. This charming title has a post-game that offers players a chance to see how the world of Bugaria has changed following the discovery of the Everlasting Sapling and the subsequent fall of the Wasp Ki

While Bug Fables' post-game content is not as robust as some other RPGs, it is supplemented by a large amount of side content that most players may have missed as they pursued the story. With all this in mind, there are still quite a lot of things to do in Bug Fables once the main story is compl

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

Following months of speculation, Microsoft finally announced a new Fable game for Xbox and Recommended Web page Windows back in July of 2020 and even provided a minute-long trailer to get fans excited. Since then, though, there's been very little news on the Playground Games developed title. Many had hoped to get an update at this year's E3, but were forced to settle for a Halo Infinite- centric show inst

A unique feature in the Fable series is the ability to have or adopt children. Unfortunately, they don't grow up to be some of the best characters in the franchise , but they're vital for the Demon Door in Brightw

Despite diminishing interest in recent years, E3 is still the largest event in gaming. With many of the biggest and most anticipated games now being showcased elsewhere, however, some are questioning how much longer that will remain the case. Given the lackluster showing this year, it would not be too surprising if Sony's next State of Play blows E3 out of the water, which may well lead to Microsoft and Nintendo reconsidering their attendance at next year's ev

Many consider Sony to have the edge over Microsoft when it comes to exclusives (at least for the time being), but when it comes to open-world zombie games , the Xbox has a pretty strong lineup. With Dead Rising 5 having been cancelled a few years back, though, Xbox players looking to get their fill of brain-munching monsters have been forced to look elsewhere, with many of them turning to the State of Decay ga
