Do you know what’s better than watching an episode of Game of Thrones on HBO? Watching it on the day it airs, of course. Although that’s the norm in the US, people from other parts of the world don’t have this luxury as they have to wait for as much as a few weeks sometimes before being able to watch the latest episode. Needless to say that’s a bummer, because by the time people from outside the US are able to watch a certain episode, stateside Game of Thrones fans are already talking about the next ones. Since this is the internet, people are very vocal when it comes to these things and you’ll really have to try hard if you want to avoid the inevitable spoilers posted everywhere.

Luckily, this won’t be the case for much longer because earlier today HBO announced that the fifth season of Game of Thrones in its entirety will air on the same day and at the same time all over the world. Well, perhaps “simultaneous” is a better word here than “at the same time” since we also have to account for those pesky time zones. Each episode of season 5 will air at 9 PM Eastern Time, so go ahead and check this time zone map if you want to see the exact time at which Game of Thrones airs in your country. Depending on your region, it may be too late at night or too early in the morning for you to watch it, but at least you can record it and watch it the next day. Waiting a single day definitely beats waiting for a few weeks that’s for sure.

HBO has reportedly decided to take this course of action in an attempt to fight back against piracy. Given that Game of Thrones is one of the most popular series around, it’s no surprise that it’s also one of the most pirated ones. Sure, some people will also resort to piracy no matter what, but others only do it because they want to watch the show as soon as it airs and if HBO doesn’t provide that option in their country, then torrenting websites certainly do. In any case, that won’t be a problem anymore, so presumably the show should get pirated less from now on. Presumably. Game of Thrones season 5 airs on April 12th at 9 PM Eastern Time.

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

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.

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.
