Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Promises Infinite Action and Heroes

The Infinity War, the event the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has built up for the past several years, is finally here. Well, at least the trailer is, but it’s still as awesome as we hoped.

Thanos, The Mad Titan, takes center stage for the trailer and will (obviously) be the main antagonist of the movie. He has grown tired of his underlings failing to retrieve the Infinity Stones (objects of pure power that have been in the MCU since the beginning), so he plans to just take them by force. And what a force he is, as Thanos easily plows through everything and everyone in the trailer. You might wonder why Thanos wants the stones if he’s already so powerful, but I’ll get to that in a bit.

Since Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of all the previous MCU movies, every hero from those films will take part in the action. Obviously, characters such as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Steve Rogers/Captain America, and Bruce Banner/The Hulk will play key roles, and so will those who have crossed paths with The Avengers, including Dr. Strange, T’Challa/Black Panther, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and even The Guardians of the Galaxy. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if Deadpool makes an appearance, because he’s just that kind of guy.

The trailer doesn’t reveal much about the plot of Avengers: Infinity War, but we already know enough: Thanos travels to Earth to find the Infinity Stones, and The Avengers have to assemble once more to stop him. I would say it’s a simple premise; however, we all are wondering the same thing: why does Thanos want the stones? In the comics, Thanos sought the stones to become the most powerful being in existence and win the affection of Death — as in the literal (and female) personification of death. And, how does Thanos proclaim his love for her? By using the stones to kill half the universe’s population. While I doubt Thanos’ plans in the movie involve wooing a robed skeleton (who somehow still manages to have sizable breasts, because comic logic), in the trailer, he mentions “balancing the universe,” which probably means he still plans to kill off a large chunk of life in the universe. But, that’s just a theory, and we will have to wait until the movie is released to learn Thanos’ true intentions.

I have watched nearly every movie to date and am excited to see how all the plot threads tie in to Avengers: Infinity War. If the movie is even half as exciting as the trailer, it just might be the best Avengers movie yet.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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.
