34 Best Anime Fights of All Time https://twinfinite.net/entertainment/best-anime-fights/ https://twinfinite.net/entertainment/best-anime-fights/#respond Tue, 23 May 2023 13:58:08 +0000 http://twinfinite.net/?p=326859 It's time for an anime throwdown!]]>

By fist, blade, or fighting spirit-fueled drill, there’s something enthralling about a good fight in anime. Oftentimes representing the climax of an arc or storyline, it culminates everything the viewer has invested themselves in, with wills and ideologies on the line along with the characters’ lives. Common sense goes out the window as each new attack tears through the air, sometimes as the swing of a sword and other times as a cataclysmic laser meant to rend the planet in half.

Since the medium was first created, we’ve seen a number of great fights, but these ones in particular are among the best anime fights of all time.

25. Jujutsu Kaisen

Does Sukuna Take Over Megumi in Jujutsu Kaisen? Answered (Spoilers)
Screenshot by Twinfinite via MAPPA

As far as anime with an upward trajectory go, Jujutsu Kaisen is one to watch. It’s also one to watch in the literal sense, because it’s really quite fantastic. Here, we meet the humble Yuji Itadori, an average albeit overwhelmingly powerful boy who becomes embroiled in a war between jujutsu sorcerers and the curses they hunt.

By consuming a piece of the villainous Sukuna, Itadori has been deemed a threat and sentenced to execution. The only way he can postpone this fate is by tracking down Sukuna’s remaining body parts to remove the menace from the world.

Have a Nice Death Review – Death Is Its Own Reward https://twinfinite.net/reviews/have-a-nice-death-review/ https://twinfinite.net/reviews/have-a-nice-death-review/#respond Thu, 16 Mar 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=926938 Have a Nice Death is absolutely to die for if you're a roguelike fan. ]]>

Have a Nice Death on PC

It will never fail to be impressive how the roguelike genre manages to incentivize dying. You take a core part of the gameplay that everyone is trying to avoid and make it vital to progression in a way that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out. Amazingly, Have a Nice Death has managed to iterate on that concept in a refreshing way despite the bar being set so high.

In Dead Cells, there’s a crazy amount of weapons and items to unlock and find. Cult of the Lamb makes players want to go on crusade runs with the sole objective of building up a certain stat or collect important resources. Hades combines a flurry of stackable abilities with an ever-progressing narrative.

Dead Island 2’s Narrative Lead Talks Bringing LA to Life Through People, Environmental Storytelling & More https://twinfinite.net/features/dead-island-2s-narrative-lead-interview/ https://twinfinite.net/features/dead-island-2s-narrative-lead-interview/#respond Mon, 13 Mar 2023 15:55:16 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=924845 Dambuster Studios' Khan talks about Dead Island 2 in this exclusive interview. ]]>

It’s been nearly a decade since Dead Island 2 was announced at E3 2014, so there’s been a lot of questions regarding what the game is going to be when it does finally release later this year. Is it just like the first title? What will the gameplay focus be? Will it be campy or serious?

To help answer those questions, I had a chat with Khan, Dambuster Studios’ Lead Narrative Designer, who detailed how the studio has been bringing Dead Island 2 to life and what fans can expect from his long-awaited sequel.

The time has finally arrived. Almost a decade after its original announcement at E3 2014, Dead Island 2 is finally coming out, with its official release date set for about two months from now.

But the question is: after waiting all this time, can this sequel to a cult classic live up to the hype? Thankfully, after about six hours with the game, it is safe to say that Dead Island 2 has taken everything that was fun with its predecessor and cranked up the voltage.

War is officially coming to a close in GTA Online, as Rockstar Games announced that Los Santos Drug Wars: The Last Dose is officially launching next week. In a brand new trailer for the event, Dax and the Fooliganz must push back against the Powers That Be.

The final update in this ongoing storyline in GTA Online is set to include five new missions that will reveal the connections between the mysterious drug trade and Dr. Isiah Friedlander. And for anyone wondering, yes, that is the same Doctor from before. It has been established that killing him previously in the story mode, 10 years ago, was not canon.

The Mandalorian Season 3 is in full swing, with its latest episode, The Mines of Mandalore, just finishing up airing. It was a rather interesting 30 minutes of television, as everyone finally got to see what a modern-day look at this well-known Sar Wars planet would look like. And boy, did it not disappoint.

In this action-packed episode, The Mandalorian and Grogu explore both above and below the surface of Mandalore, uncovering the ravaged empire that once was, making for some fascinating sites. Alongside this, they’re also greeted by some natives, including humanoid creatures like the Alamites and even a mythical beast, known as the Mythosaur.

Have a Nice Death Is Shaping Up to be the Best Roguelike of 2023 (Preview) https://twinfinite.net/features/have-a-nice-death-is-shaping-up-to-be-the-best-roguelike-of-2023-preview/ https://twinfinite.net/features/have-a-nice-death-is-shaping-up-to-be-the-best-roguelike-of-2023-preview/#respond Wed, 08 Mar 2023 16:35:59 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=921488 Death never felt so nice. ]]>

Ever since Have a Nice Death rolled into early access in March 2022, it’s sat atop my list of most anticipated games. From its gorgeous hand-drawn animations to fast-paced hack n’ slash combat, everything about this upcoming roguelike jumped off the page at me.

With the game’s full release coming next week, I was lucky enough to hop into a preview build for Have a Nice Death and see if it was possible for those lofty expectations to be met. And while it’s only been two chapters so far, I can say with confidence that Magic Design Studios’ newest game is going to kill it.

Today, the highly anticipated newest Soulslike from Team Ninja (Ninja Gaiden & Nioh), Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, has finally been released, and fans of the genre are raving about it. Interestingly enough, even casual fans are giving the game a shot, especially on Xbox and PC, as the title was a day-one Game Pass release.

I am actually one of those filthy casuals, as I’ve been following the game ever since it was announced with intrigue. It is important to state right off the bat that I am terrible at Soulslike games. I’ve tried Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Sekiro, you name it; none of them have clicked. Still, I wanted to give Wo-Long Fallen Dynasty a fair shake, as I’ve always been a fan of Chinese mythology.

On Feb. 27, 2023, Bungie rolled out its latest round of patch notes for Destiny 2 in the 7.0.0.1. As always, there were plenty of bugs and small quality-of-life issues that were resolved, but there were also some notable changes to gameplay mechanics as well.

Even though it’s not necessarily a game-changer, and isn’t something that casual players are likely to notice, one such change comes regarding the way Destiny 2 players go about unlocking Artifact perks. Now, instead of having to hold down a button for one second to unlock an Artifact perk, you’ll simply be able to use a single button press.

“Why spiders?! Why can’t we follow the butterflies?” Sorry, Ron, but there’s no denying that Tangled Webs is one of the cooler side missions in Hogwarts Legacy. In this quest, you’ll be tasked with becoming an exterminator by eliminating spiders.

And for anyone that might be afraid of spiders, well then even you can get in on the fun with this one thanks to the arachnophobia mod. Instead of fighting eight-legged freaks, you’ll combat boxes, allowing you to play one of the more interesting quests in the game.

At the end of 2022, the classic film Planes, Trains and Automobiles celebrated its 35th anniversary, and the title still manages to hold up as one of the best movies of all time. To commemorate that, a piece was written by Vanity Fair detailing the entire history and backstory of the movie, which talked all about actors John Candy and Steven Martin.

Interestingly enough, background info on the stars of the film wasn’t even the most fascinating thing to come out of this piece. Instead, that title belongs to a story about an extra named Troy Evans, who was hired on to be a truck driver in the film.
