Yeah yeah, this is going to become old really fast. But what can I say? Seeing video game chracters in commercials that are pretty good is kind of interesting. Video games have started to integrate to diverse aspects of various cultures. This is a very cute thing when it happens in my opinion. Because that means other companies are made aware that games are popular and. Of course, they can be profitable and coexist. And Guile from Street Fighter V joins in on the fun!

Guile and his Gravity Defying hair use a very strong Japanese Gel.

Which leads to Japanese company Yanagiya, which has been linked to the cosmetic industry since 1615. Recently, they have taken the decision of having a flag character that fits their line. And what better pick than the Street Fighter American personification of hair gel Guile? Yes, the US badass that has impacted everyone’s hearts with his Sonic Boom now promotes J-gel.

In fact, his presence as a Yanagiya mascot is so prominent that the official site has a humorous interview with Guile in which he says nuggets like this: “Disheveled hair is connected to losing one’s composure. It’s not cool.”

I’m kind of bummed that there isn’t a direct Japanese translation of the interview. I’m leaving the link here for those interested who know Japanese. But even still, it’s kinda nice and hilarious to see a character like Guile being a flagship for a Gel product.

I mean. The dude is very strong, and would make a nice model for the product himself without really trying. He also is the definition of Hair products galore, with his hair that defies gravity when he does his attacks. Would anyone be surprised if Guile said that he used a very strong variation of J-Gel for himself? That’s what I thought.

The gaming industry sure has some odd ways of entertaining people. Seeing Lightning and Snow promoting a Nissan car was a surreal experience, but not a very odd one. However, I want to start seeing American commercials having video game characters in them. Don’t disappoint me, Corporate America!

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

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.
