The world of Pokemon is a fascinating one. Not only are their countless regions, a surprising amount of copycat ‘gangs’ of bad guys trying to take over the world, and nearly a thousand of the cute, tough, creepy and cuddly creatures to catch, it’s also teeming with secrets and mystery. That’s why the community has frequently come up with their own conspiracy theories to answer some of the Pokemon world’s biggest unanswered questions. Sometimes, it’s to do with the all-powerful legendary and mythical Pokemon, other times, it’s just a random thing that doesn’t make sense. Whatever it may be, we’ve compiled 15 of the most interesting Pokemon conspiracy theories in this post, so you can get your sleuth on.

Ok so this is a pretty nifty theory on everyone’s favourite cute pink cat/mouse hybrid… thing. The theory suggests that Arceus is the God Pokemon and, after he created time and space, with Dialga and Palkia to govern it, he wanted to populate said planet.

The Best Far Cry Games, All 9 Ranked https://twinfinite.net/pc/best-far-cry-games-ranked/ https://twinfinite.net/pc/best-far-cry-games-ranked/#respond Wed, 05 Jul 2023 12:17:00 +0000 http://www.twinfinite-net.go-vip.net/?p=146775 Those cries just keep getting louder....]]>

The Far Cry series has been one of Ubisoft’s longest running franchises, offering players tight first-person shooter action, sprawling open worlds teeming with missions to complete and bad guys to gun down, and an absolute bucket-load of weapons. Whether you want to go the silent, stealthy route, or make lots of big, big bangs, any and all approaches are welcome as you fight off against the series’ notorious villains. Alas, like lots of things in life, not all Far Cry games were created equal. Some are great, standing the test of time over a decade later, while others… well, they’re better off just being forgotten. After spending dozens upon dozens of hours with the series at this point, we’ve put together our definitive ranking of the best Far Cry games from worst to first.

9. Far Cry

Credit to the first game in the Far Cry series for kicking things off, but after what came before it, it may not entirely stand the test of time. Considering when it was released, the original Far Cry looks pretty great and it sold the jungle environment very well. The enemy AI is mostly intelligent, and the weapons have a good balance between them.

Mortal Kombat 1’s Stress Test Was a Punishing Intro to the Series https://twinfinite.net/features/mortal-kombat-1s-stress-test-was-punishing-intro-to-series/ https://twinfinite.net/features/mortal-kombat-1s-stress-test-was-punishing-intro-to-series/#respond Mon, 26 Jun 2023 19:30:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=960758 No number of Fatalities faced stopped me from persevering.]]>

Let’s address the elephant in the room here. Up until this weekend, I’d never played a Mortal Kombat game. Yes, yes, cue the gasps and pitchforks in the comments section. I’ve always sat back, appreciating friends unleashing brutal fatalities on one another and frantically mashing out combos on controllers, but for my own fighting fix, I’ve gravitated towards the Tekken series. Having got an invite into Mortal Kombat 1’s stress test this weekend, though, I decided to finally see what all the fuss was about.

And reader, my ass got handed to me fight after fight after fight. Having realized that immediately hopping online might not be the wisest decision as a complete newcomer, I opted to try out the single-player ‘Tower’ mode to find my footing. I did what everyone initially does when checking out a new fighting game — I pored over the extensive move lists teeming with combos, tried to remember a few, and then proceeded to button mash through my first fight. It did not end well.

Is Final Fantasy 16 Coming to Xbox? PS5 Timed Exclusivity Explained https://twinfinite.net/guides/is-final-fantasy-16-coming-xbox-ps5-timed-exclusivity-explained/ https://twinfinite.net/guides/is-final-fantasy-16-coming-xbox-ps5-timed-exclusivity-explained/#respond Fri, 23 Jun 2023 11:06:45 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=960101 The wait for Xbox fans is real!]]>

Final Fantasy 16 is the latest entry in Square Enix’s long-running fantasy RPG series. This time around, the game takes a more action-oriented approach and opens the series up to a much wider and arguably more casual audience in the hopes of bringing in newcomers. On its initial release, though, the game is only available on PS5. However, as some eagle-eyed fans have already noticed, there is a timed exclusivity period in place for Final Fantasy 16 on PS5. As such, some Xbox owners may be wondering is Final Fantasy 16 coming to Xbox Series X|S?

Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Timed Exclusive Window

At the very end of Final Fantasy 16‘s trailer at The Game Awards in 2022, a splash screen revealed that the game was PlayStation exclusive. However, in text just below this, it clearly stated: “Not available on other platforms until 12.31.2023.”

Is There a Difficulty Trophy in Final Fantasy 16?

Difficulty trophies are a fairly common thing in video games nowadays. Tasking players with beating the game on a particular difficulty setting, these can be some of the more time-consuming shiny baubles you’ll need to unlock if you’re trying to get the platinum trophy. Especially so, if they require you to beat the game on the hardest difficulty. With Final Fantasy 16 being a 50-hour-long adventure, you’re going to want to know if it has a difficulty trophy before you get started. That way, you can minimize the amount of time it’ll take you to get that platinum trophy.

Final Fantasy 16 Difficulty Trophy, Explained

Final Fantasy 16 does have a difficulty trophy, technically, in the form of ‘Fantasy, Finally.’ This is a gold, secret trophy that requires you to ‘Complete the game on ‘Final Fantasy’ Mode.’

During today’s Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Luigi’s Mansion 2 that originally released on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2013 will be getting a remake for the Nintendo Switch.

Barely any other details were shared during the Direct on the remake, outside of the fact that it’s getting a fresh lick of paint to bring the visuals up to 2023’s standards. We only got about 10-15 seconds of footage, too, so it’s difficult to say whether the gameplay will remain the exact same as that in the original.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life on PS5

Within minutes of booting up Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, I was hit by a wave of nostalgia. The guitar-twanging soundtrack kicked in and transported me back to playing the original, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, on the GameCube over a decade ago now. It was a heart-warming experience, encountering the cast of weird and wonderful characters all over again, but soon enough the cracks in this remake/ remaster started to show.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life aims to freshen up the 2003 original, but the premise remains the same. You’ve inherited a rundown farm from your father and travel to the sleepy town of Forgotten Valley to give revitalizing it your best shot. In terms of changes over the original, this ‘Story of Seasons’ version adds pronouns and customization options to the character creator, gives you different outfits to purchase and wear, adds more crops to those originally on offer, adds more romance options including same gender, and enhances the various events that take place throughout each year. That all sounds quite a lot, but before my first year in the game had come to a close, I soon realized that, actually, Forgotten Valley is very much stuck in the past of the farming sim genre.

Kicking things off, Ubisoft showed a very flashy trailer of street racing at night-time, drag racing down a street and straight into a jungle (as you do), and then into a downhill race between a truck and a moped. We’re back onto roads for some stormy coastal road driving, and then back onto the track in a Red Bull F1 car. All of that is to say that yes, The Crew Motorfest will have a variety of terrains to explore and vehicles to traverse it in.
