![]() The entity attempted to take over Justice, but when that failed, it mutated the people of Japan in order to materialize from inside the Backyard. However, during her activation test in 2074, Justice's body and consciousness were compromised by the Universal Will. In 2073, Aria Hale underwent conversion into a Gear, " Justice", and was given the ability to control all other Gears so that she could stop the Gears' deployment as weapons of war. Following the fusion, she remains in an unstable state due to Aria's consciousness within her, and may start acting child-like again if her emotions get the best of her to keep her composure in check during battles, she continues to use her mask. ![]() Initially, not having "established" herself in this plane of existence, Jack-O' needs some candy as a supplement, or wear her mask, but as days pass and she stabilizes, she is able to forego their use. Unable to accept herself, she doesn't reject herself either, falling in love with Sol despite herself. Though she claims otherwise so that others won't notice, Jack-O' knows she has emotions, even if she may not fully feel them. Yet, while thinking of herself as disposable, Jack-O's ego starts to become independent, refusing to take off her halo after becoming human. Although she finds unsettling that "nothing" is all she has, she is nonetheless well aware of her destiny or purpose -protecting the world -and is willing to fulfill it despite what that may mean for her own existence. Being "a piece of Aria", Jack-O' doesn't consider herself to be Aria, whom she has called the "original owner" of her body, thinking of herself as a temporary, replacement personality with artificial emotions. Inside her remains the portion of Aria's soul that loved Frederick, and related memories at first, not quite able to recall information of him or his name, she was created with a complicated feeling of nostalgia towards Sol. Despite the changes, Jack-O' does not actually become a child on the inside. The way she refers to others changes as well: her child voice using the honorifics ちゃん ( -chan ?) and くん ( -kun ?), while her adult voice drops them almost entirely and uses a more neutral tone. This instability has resulted in the side-effect of a split personality of sorts: That of a cool and collected adult woman, and a child-like one that is playful and cheerful, with her voice changing accordingly. Guilty Gear Strive Review - Burning Like A Roman Cancelīecause she was awakened in an incomplete state, before she could download half of her soul from the main body, her memories and personality data are fragmented and unstable. ![]() In Strive, Jack-O's design remains mostly the same, with the only differences being that her hair color changing to being predominantly red with white highlights on the underside, her eye color changing from red to green, as well as her halo becoming cracked. At the end of Revelator, her hair becomes fully red. ![]() Both are black in color and give off a light green lantern effect in their skull-themed eyes, nose and mouth. She also wears black and red gloves and matching heels. She also wears a Jack-o'-lantern-esque removable mask and prison weight chained to her left ankle. She wears an ankh pendant, a black belt with a gold skull buckle on her waist, and her arms are decorated with similar belts. Jack-O's main outfit consists of a white skin-tight one piece that loosens up and has slits at her forearms and calves. Her most prominent trait is the compass-like pale yellow halo hovering above her head. Jack-O' Valentine is a slender young woman with fair skin, red eyes and long white hair with red highlights on the underside that goes past her hips. ![]()

![]() On October 26, 2021, during a development stream celebrating the 40th anniversary of Koei Tecmo president and CEO Kou Shibusawa's career, it was announced that Team Ninja were currently developing a new action game based on Luo Guanzhong's 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. ![]() Set in the Later Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, a nameless militia soldier uses the swordplay of the Chinese martial arts to battle demons in a dark fantasy world. Stay tuned in the meantime.The story of a militia soldier fighting for survival in the chaotic Three Kingdoms. Multiplayer is also confirmed and though more details have yet to be revealed, it will be at least similar to Nioh’s. There’s still a large variety of weapons but the team wants “the player to be able to focus on the action more easily.” Also, Three Kingdoms fans can expect the various warlords to have their weapons (though whether the player can earn them remains to be seen). ![]() Players won’t have to keep upgrading their weapons and armor, and all enemies won’t be dropping items. Expect to be attacking way more in Wo Long than in Nioh.įinally, loot is getting some changes over Nioh. In that sense, I guess you could say it is more down to earth.” Think of it as a middle-ground between Nioh and Ninja Gaiden in terms of speed. That being said, we did want to maintain that feeling of being in control of an actual human being, so there won’t be too many flashy jumps or wire action. The action is speedier than Nioh, and you can do things such as jump into an enemy and then launch over them. With Soulslike games becoming more and more popular, this kind of design gives Team NINJA an opportunity to display what we do best.” IGN saw some development footage from the PS5 version and noted that the areas within the level seem larger with an “almost wide-linear approach.”Ĭombat is much faster than Nioh with the developer wanting to provide the freedom to “seamlessly switch between offense and defense. ![]() That being said, at its core, Wo Long is a linear structured game just as Nioh was. Since the player character can now jump, there’s a lot more room for verticality and exploration in general. Yasuda said, “We do have more freedom in our stage design though. The balance between strength changes whenever someone dies.”Įxploration is still level-based like Nioh but there’s more freedom thanks to one important addition: Jumping. You gain something by defeating a strong enemy, but the same can be said for when an enemy kills the player. “We wanted to create a type of strategism with adversity as its theme. Further details weren’t provided, Yamagiwa says this will “lead to new strategies within the Soulslike genre.” Interestingly, it ties into mechanics where the enemy can gain something from defeating the player. Combat also benefits from a new Morale system for the player and enemies. The main character is a military volunteer (with an important role in the story) and players can customize them fully. In that regard, players can look forward to a type of satisfaction that wasn’t present in earlier Team Ninja titles.” There’s no doubt this will be an extremely challenging and demanding game, but we’ve come up with new ways to approach that difficulty. “The same can be said for the difficulty. Being set in China, Wo Long is more massive in scale compared to our previous games set in Japan, which allowed us to show a more severe and dark world. It was a dark period in which people were constantly fighting, which is a great match for a Soulslike game. Yasuda notes “It was a time of war and devastation. Set during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms period, the title focuses on the end of the Han Dynasty in China. ![]() To that end, Wo Long will be a challenging game. After leaving Sony’s Japan Studio, he joined Team Ninja in October 2021. While it seemed to resemble Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors, the overall gameplay and vibe are more akin to Nioh, as revealed in a recent IGN interview.įumihiko Yasuda, who directed both Nioh titles, is a producer on this project along with Masaaki Yamagiwa, known for Bloodborne and Déraciné. Team Ninja unveiled its next big title Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty during the recent Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, to be released in early 2023 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PS4, and PS5. ![]() ![]() ![]() Read on to find out where it's available, what comes in each edition, and what preorder bonus you can expect.

A safer expectation was always 12, which is how things turned out. However, the lifelike graphics and darker threat elements made this a little less relevant. It was just about possible that Hogwarts Legacy could have been given an age rating under a 12. ![]() The most recent Harry Potter is the Lego collection, which is rated 7 and above. There is no sign of this for the open world witchcraft and wizardry release, but with the darker spells they’ve both got the same certification. But then even there melee attacks with Sora’s Keyblade were a big part of the combat mechanics. Perhaps a better comparison would be with Kingdom Hearts 3, which also has an age rating of 12. This had a 16 certificate, but with a guns and melee style of play compared to Hogwarts Legacy’s reliance on wand magic to fight, which could be one of the reasons why the age rating is lower, despite the fact that you can perform the Avada Kedavra killing spell. It’s a 3rd person action adventure, so it was already easy to compare it to the likes of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The ESRB equivalent in North America is T for Teen, which recommends 13 years of age and over, so sort of comparible. With the release date done, we that the Hogwarts Legacy age rating in the UK from PEGI is a 12+ certificate.

![]() ![]() On Metacritic, the PC version of Gollum has an aggregate score of 43, while the PS5 version sits at 40. Not only is this the worst-reviewed game of 2023, the final release has drawn some hilariously unflattering comparisons to its pre-release screenshots. And besides, I think those masks that “are for pussies” are actually really cool.The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has finally gotten into the hands of players, and the results aren't pretty - in more ways than one. There’s very little you could get out of Crime Boss that you couldn’t get out of Payday 2 next time it comes around in a Steam sale. And customisation is either limited or random in a way that makes it feel like you never quite have control of your loadout. Meanwhile, the characters and writing that surround these missions feel painfully stuck in 2011. All three modes offer something, but none of them does their specific thing that well. "Overall, Crime Boss is a game at war with itself. ![]() However, using a voice cast of Hollywood talent past their prime is a choice that doesn't add anything to the game, and it's not enough to distract me from the shallow gameplay that was already done much better ten years ago." - Tarran Stockton TheGamer - 2/5 There are good ideas buried deep within this game, and the roguelike/Payday combination is a genuinely novel concept I'd love to see explored in a project with more focus. "Crime Boss Rockay City is a cautionary tale for how to effectively budget a video game, and a prime example of how games need to feel and play well first and foremost. Still, in its current state, Crime Boss: Rockay City feels like a low-level wannabe criminal trying to get rich quick on a street populated with multiplayer shooters who already do better." - Jason Hon GG Recon - 2/5 There is fun to be had with a team of four friends completing missions together. With the game planned to be a live service experience, with more time, developer InGame Studios will hopefully add more features and gameplay mechanics to help the game stand out in the multiplayer shooter genre. "The limited time to play the review build of Crime Boss: Rockay City felt unfinished and needed more gameplay activities and depth. Frankly I’m surprised Christopher Walken didn’t show up." - Lucas White ScreenRant - 2.5/5 It’s neither a cynical corporate cringe like Sharknado, nor is it a low-budget dud you’d expect to see a crew of robot puppets heckle. It’s a massive swing and a big miss, with enough force to crack the sound barrier while the ball stays in the catcher’s mitt. ![]() All snark aside I don’t think I’ve ever played a game quite like Crime Boss: Rockay City. "If the idea of playing a shooter crammed on top of a modern edition of Drug Wars, full of pseudo ironic stunt casting and roguelike gimmicks sounds like a good time, boy do I have a game for you. Crime Boss: Rockay City might not have the most versatile activities, best gunplay, or first-class writing, but it does provide an interesting experience that, like a cheap B-movie, has that certain kind of charm you can’t help but enjoy." - Noah Nelson ShackNews - 5/10 "It’s not every day we get a new studio taking a big swing by taking a genre that has been executed perfectly for years and giving it a unique twist.
