The King Has Fallen, Billy Mitchell’s Donkey Kong Records Are Erased

Published

Mitchell

For years, Billy Mitchell was known as the highest scoring player in Donkey Kong. The amount of hype and inspiration that came from this person has been incredible. However, it seems like this legend is actually a fake. As quite recently his records were discovered to have been achieved through illegitimate means.

As such, TwinGalaxies, the organization that’s been keeping track of Mitchell’s records has made their decision of completely erasing his record official. This is a rather dark day for gaming as this represents another gaming legend falling from the heights for cheating their way to the top.

“Based on the complete body of evidence presented in this official dispute thread, Twin Galaxies administrative staff has unanimously decided to remove all of Billy Mitchell’s scores as well as ban him from participating in our competitive leaderboards.” Says the Summary Decision posted by TG this morning.

Of course, other organizations that kept track of Billy Mitchell’s “Achievement” were notified of his transgression. Like the Guinness World Records, who is probably going to retire the record as well. Not only that but Steve Wiebe is now the new record holder with his 1,006,600 score.

For those who still have their doubts about the authenticity of TwinGalaxies’s claims. This was a meticulous investigation performed by TG and at least two different third parties that all arrived to the same conclusion. With the help of experts, hobbyists and casual observers.

“Hopefully it is becoming more and more obvious that we care very much about our scoreboard integrity and will continue to improve it step-by-step, no matter how painful or public it might occasionally be.” The blog post makes clear that they want a clean playground.

The truth is what matters the most. Even if a lot of people want to cry about the status of the ex-record holders, it’s always going to be said that they have cheated in some way. However, this will lead towards a cleaner future for gaming recordholders worldwide.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Published

on

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Published

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
