Okay, so the jetpack in Crimson Desert is seriously easy to miss – you can actually beat the whole game without ever finding it! But trust me, you want to get one as soon as you can. It lets my character, Oongka, fly all over the map, and honestly, it just looks awesome.
You’ve likely collected some items along the way that you can sell for a good price. But you’ll need your friends to help you with the trading.
Many longtime Pokémon fans first experienced the games with FireRed and LeafGreen as children. Because of this, they likely didn’t focus on strategy like type advantages, powerful moves, or status effects. They usually just chose their favorite Pokémon and battled using their strongest attacks until they were victorious.
Okay, so if you’re trying to romance someone in the game, you really need to get on their good side and follow their personal story. Keep an eye out for a little heart icon that pops up during chats – that means what you say can actually change how much they like you! Out of all the companions, you can actually romance four of them: Nilan, Ludwig, Alvida, and Sybille. Just a heads-up, once you pick one, you’re kinda locked in, but you can end things before you go all-in.
In Monster Hunter Stories 3, defeating Barrel Felynes earns you experience points, making them valuable targets. However, they’re protected by surrounding barrels that significantly boost their defense. While Barrel Bombs are effective against these barrels, throwing knives are a great substitute if you don’t have any. Throwing knives deal a set amount of damage, allowing you to quickly break the barrels and defeat the Barrel Felynes.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 was a hit, building on what fans love about the series – especially its unique focus on monsters and engaging turn-based battles. If you’ve enjoyed previous Monster Hunter Stories games, you’ll likely enjoy this one as well.
Many people know Cyberpunk from the video game Cyberpunk 2077 or the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, but it actually began as a tabletop role-playing game. This original game created a rich history that goes back much further than the more recent versions of the story.
The Game Boy Advance was selling incredibly well, so many developers started making games for it. While some were marketed as spin-offs, they were often entirely new games. Because of this, several Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) series that didn’t appear on the PlayStation 2 found a new audience on the GBA, either to keep their classic pixel art look or because they wanted to work with Nintendo.
These games are among my all-time favorites, and I think they come from one of the best series ever created. Unlike most games, I find myself returning to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night every few years – I just can’t stop playing it! I believe it’s a truly exceptional game that has remained enjoyable over the years, and I’d like to share some of the reasons why it’s such a fantastic experience.
I researched the Crusades using several sources to prepare for this review, including Thomas Asbridge’s scholarly book The Crusades, James Reston Jr.’s engaging Warriors of God, and the How the Crusades Changed History lectures. Despite a slight delay in receiving the game itself, these resources gave me a solid understanding of the historical period to assess its accuracy.
