This selfish man sitting in the confessional booth is here not because he truly feels guilty, or sad, but because he wishes to escape the fate he has created for himself. He felt no empathy for the homeless man he swiftly worked to death, and he never thought twice about the servants he had in his charge. In fact, he didn’t even seem to care for his wife much; he just wanted a supermodel, because men are supposed to want these things. This man is the epitome of desire, using any means necessary to get what he wants, or what he should want - and the means here was c

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

One of the more visually stimulating western RPGs from the sixth generation consoles, Jade Empire is still a fascinating RPG to jump into, albeit a bit dated. Still, the game is a lot of fun and uses Ancient Chinese mythology to build a compelling world filled with interesting charact

However, if you’re one of the readers who knows all about Fables but nothing about Batman? I’m not sure such a creature exists, but if you do, I’ve tried my best to make the essential Batman as understandable as can be. We’ll see if I’ve succee

SR: This miniseries is being released under DC Black Label, the imprint set aside for mature readers. Did that play a role in deciding the story you wanted to tell, or what is and isn't "off limits" once this narrative starts taking sh

Given the systems present in Death Stranding , as well as the overarching narrative of connecting the world and connecting with others, any character interactions should be given the chance to have positive effects. Even the incentive not to kill the Mules and Demens that try to kill or stop the player could be maximized on with the ability to recruit them, though there may be a give and take with some of them. Then, aside from the new ways that this could allow for NPC interactions, recruitment could completely remake the development of new gear in Death Stranding 2 Stranding

The current system for gearing up for a delivery in Death Stranding already feels like it's been stripped straight out of MGS5 , with a blank void to prepare weapon, vehicle, and additional equipment loadouts. It's a great way for players to get ready for missions and adventures through Metal Gear Solid 's open world , and translates perfectly into attempting to travel through dystopian America. However, one benefit that MGS5 has over Death Stranding in this way is that the player has more control over what they can bring thanks to the ability to research and develop their own g

BW: Yes, we do keep new readers into account, and thank you for asking this important question. I believe, in addition to the continued counting, starting with 151, we’re going to count each issue with Black Forest 1 of 12, and so on. We plan to work hard to get the word out to everyone that this is a self-contained story. You don’t need to have read the previous hundred or so issues to know what’s going on. If you have done so, that’s great, but it isn’t necess

The Rising Sun weighs in with a damage characteristic of 61, which again, is slightly worse than its master-tier cleaver counterpart making it a decent early-to-mid game option. This axe should be acquired if the player plans on becoming a true hero of Albion, although its augmentation, Righteous Violence, is quite niche and only works against a handful of truly evil enem

**SR: On a similar note, how did you approach the fact that there will be readers who know Batman backwards and forwards, but will pick up this story knowing little about Fables , or have this as their first exposure? (And vice versa.

One change that should definitely be made to how MGS5 handles this system, however, is the removal of the Fulton recovery balloons that makes capturing enemies very easy. Instead, players should have to physically take Mules and Demens to different facilities, possibly to a specific few that have the ability to rehabilitate these enemies, making each recruitment a much more intimate encounter. Given that the entire narrative of Death Stranding involves connecting Sam to the other characters around him as much as connecting the United Cities of America, having the chance to rescue people would really help drive those themes h

**Screen Rant: With the announcement that Fables is returning, there are going to be a lot of fans breathing a sigh of relief, followed by some serious excitement. Would you say those same feelings extend to you and your team, as well

Throughout the marketing leading up to Death Stranding 's release, and within the game itself, Kojima Productions made it perfectly clear that the themes of the narrative are meant to be focused around making connections. In this case, it comes off as strange that players are told to leave the Mules behind due to them becoming addicted to delivering and impulsively trying to steal cargo. Players really should be given the option to help at least these people by taking them back to a city and working them through their addiction before transitioning them towards reintegrating into soci
