Ah, Thursday, January 16th, and what a delightful day it is. Our dear friend Liam, the sports betting influencer extraordinaire, has just reviewed the latest “NFL Divisional Round Bets” from The Favorites Podcast, a show with a staggering 70,000+ subscribers. How quaint. Liam, in his infinite wisdom, took to X and tweeted his reactions: But, … Read more
One fascinating element of Skull and Bones lies in its ability to engulf players within its storm-ridden settings, as demonstrated by Mostly_VP’s post. The stormy aesthetics infuse life into the murky depths and towering waves, creating an authentic maritime danger sense for the players. Hefty-Career-7692’s comment perfectly captures this appeal: “The storm ambiance is just so engaging…” This sentiment highlights the exhilarating mood that pervades the ominous and tempestuous skies; it transforms every sea moment into a heart-pounding, high-risk expedition.
To successfully overcome La Peste, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with her attack patterns and strategies. This boss isn’t just an airborne target; she’s equipped with a variety of harmful abilities. As numerous players have noted, her signature move is releasing toxic clouds that can cause substantial damage if you’re not prepared. A user named Platinum_God_Games underscores the significance of maintaining a safe distance. They recommend staying at least 600 meters away as a minimum safety measure, highlighting the importance of defensive positioning. Instead of charging in recklessly, players should focus on mastering their position and timing their attacks. It might take several tries to determine when to attack and when to retreat, but navigating carefully can significantly reduce the risk of dangerous confrontations with La Peste.
The chase after the “First Come, First Served” trophy can feel like traversing an expansive ocean of doubt, particularly for novice players. It seems from posts on the subreddit that to earn this trophy, players must seize control of a settlement through a hostile takeover. Although this might sound simple, it comes with its own hurdles. There’s some confusion about whether a single player can successfully complete the takeover or if it requires a coordinated group effort. One user suggests, “For the trophy, do a hostile takeover. A solo one may work, I’m not sure.” This leads us to wonder if the developers intended for one individual to accomplish such a substantial feat alone. However, it’s evident that perfecting these takeovers is crucial in earning the trophy.
The original post ignited an unexpectedly intricate debate regarding the speed of ships in Skull and Bones. User SamuelWillmore made a compelling argument for decreasing ship speeds slightly, stating that the existing velocity diminishes the game’s immersive aspects. He suggested that the global sailing speed appears unrealistic, even for a game featuring mythical creatures and extraordinary elements. The comments on the post mirrored these thoughts, with players such as Palanki96 expressing frustration over the incongruous feeling of chasing enemy ships that seem to dash away at high speeds while their own vessels appear to be moving through treacle. This viewpoint is echoed by Intelligent_Ad_9138, who expressed a desire to avoid wasting precious gaming time on uneventful travel—an age-old challenge in game design: achieving the right balance between realism and the exhilarating pace players seek.
Although I’m not a fan of the term “Metroidvania,” the developers Binary Haze Interactive refer to their game as such, and they use it on their marketing materials and Steam page. Essentially, this game is an anime-style Metroidvania, but unlike any I’ve played before. Since I haven’t had a chance to play the original _Ender Lilies_, rest assured that _Magnolia_ is set supposedly thousands of years after it, so you won’t need to have prior knowledge or experience with it.
Let me remind you about what happened last time: Gary, Daisy, Keith, and Chase hit the clubs with some guests. Glenn made it clear that if they exceeded the two-drink limit, they’d lose their share of the tip. Well, Gary drank ten, Keith and Daisy four, and Chase only one. So logically, Chase should be the only one to get a tip. However, this week Glenn admits he didn’t expect to have to enforce that rule. As a result, the captain reconsiders the penalty for Gary, Keith, and Daisy. He argues they were still good hosts, so it seems fairer to dock them each 500 euros instead of withholding their tips entirely. Glenn asks: “What do you think about that?” And me, shouting at the TV: “Glenn, I totally disagree with you!
The cast is completed by Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati, Jon Pointing, Ellie de Lange, Adrian Greensmith, Ellie Henry, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Annette Badland, Ingrid Oliver, Maeve Courtier-Lilley, Finty Williams, Joe McGann, and Amy Gledhill. (This version maintains the original order of names but uses simpler, more conversational language.)
In response to a fan’s query regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong’s development, Team Cherry’s marketing and publishing head, Matthew Griffin, confirmed that the game is indeed genuine, ongoing, and scheduled for release. However, he did not disclose any additional information.
According to Reflector Entertainment CEO and Bandai Namco Europe CCO Herve Hoerdt, as stated on LinkedIn, this decision is closely linked to the disappointing results of their initial project, a bold and innovative intellectual property (IP) with a vast transmedia universe. The launch didn’t meet the company’s expectations despite several delays and substantial investments in finances and resources, and there was no justification for continuing exploration in this particular universe.
