To be incredibly brief, the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is about one incredibly lucky man who deserves absolutely nothing, and tells Rohan all about it whilst sat in a confessional booth. This man meets a homeless person, then promptly treats them like garbage, putting the starving man to work, and swiftly killing them with some literally back-breaking labour. The only upside to all of this is that he is now forever cursed by an antagonistic Stand that swears to take revenge at the happiest point in the man’s l
Getting to Sunset House is actually a lot harder than opening the Demon Door that resides there. Players first need to spawn in Mourningwood and head to the right of its Demon Door through the water. Eventually, they'll get to an area with wooden walls, keep following it to arrive at a huge tree. Then go right again, and there should be a gate; that is the entrance to the Sunset House a
If you played Fable III for the first time at a young, impressionable age and were horrified by the opening cutscene, in which an ambitious chicken leaves home to explore the city but it's implied he's killed by the ending, then there is good n
Consequences exist, but unlike in Aesop’s fables, the consequences rarely fall upon those who deserve them in the modern PC gaming 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
Just last week, Square Enix held a Dragon Quest- centric live stream celebrating the series' 35th anniversary where it officially announced Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate . It's been known since 2020 that Square Enix has been working on a follow-up to Dragon Quest 11 , but now it's received an official title. Because of its announcement last week, it's unlikely that Dragon Quest 12 will get any time at Square Enix's E3 showcase . The games it has confirmed to be showing include Babylon’s Fall , Life is Strange: True Colors , Life is Strange Remastered, and Marvel's Avengers . Unfortunately, Dragon Quest didn't make the list it se
Fast forward many years and the man becomes absurdly wealthy thanks to an inheritance from a relative and, um, becoming a corn magnate. As in, he sells Corn Flakes, popcorn, and corn chips thanks to the corn he grows on the land he owns through his inheritance. I told you it was bizarre. He lives in a huge house, has a small army of live-in servants, is married to a supermodel, and has a daughter he loves very much. One day while walking the streets of Venice with his young daughter, he sees her smile and earnestly believes it to be the happiest he has ever been. That’s when the Stand stri
The world of Albion, as featured in Fable 3 , is a large and dense place filled with a lot of different things to find. The most unusual of them are the Demon Doors. These mysterious, rock-faced structures serve as portals to other wor
Thankfully, most of them are simple to find as they're marked on the game's map. But it's not possible to simply stroll through them. A person has to fulfill special requests to get the doors to open. Unfortunately, most of the requirements are very vague, which is why they are often regarded as one of the more annoying things in the game . But players who do get through them are rewarded with some useful goodies and an achievement. Here is how to open them
Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc
As a tie-in with the release of Fable 3, a novel was released, written by Peter David, and published in 2010. The book, titled The Balverine Order, garnered a fairly respectable score of 3.72 stars on GoodReads.
The Demon Door in Mourningwood is situated next to a small village. Before approaching it, players need to make sure they have the level 5 melee or level 5 ranged skill. Once they do, they need to stand in front of the door and get either their melee or ranged weapon out (depending on which level 5 skill they have), and it should open. It can take a few tr
It's located in the snowy area just up from the lake. Players have to either marry their friend there (requires the Lover Expression pack) or go through all of the different positive expressions with them until the door opens. It can be fiddly, so if going for the expression method, the Joker expression pack might be nee
Stand users - those who can harness the abilities of mysterious personified psychic entities - are attracted to one another, and are certainly not limited to those friendly with the Joestar family. So, it’s about time that we are finally seeing more from this odd world of hostile psychic beings that isn’t related to a tiny cast of characters and their extended relations. Kishibe Rohan’s absurd antics make for a good way to tell those stories - and that brings me to the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, which is everything I wanted from a JoJo spin-
