Dynasty WarriorsCredit: KoeiThe Dynasty Warriors franchise is one of those things you either love or find insanely repetitive. I love the warrior-taking-on-waves-of-opponents gameplay, so it has always been a series I give a look when a new version is released.Dynasty Warriors: Origin is on the way, and here are ten things you should know about it, including the release date.Release Date: January 17, 2025As usual, the year is starting off pretty slow with DWO and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD as the biggest releases of January. Gamers who are hungry for some hack-and-slash action might have some interest in DWO.Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via SteamThe newest version of Dynasty Warriors will be available on all current-gen consoles as well as Steam.Developer: Developed by Omega Force and published by Koei TecmoThe original developer and publisher are together for this title, which is the first new entry into the series since Dynasty Warriors 9 in 2018.MORE FOR YOUGameplay: More of the same with new layersDWO maintains the 1 vs. a slew of enemies approach. However, Omega Forces goal in this version was to have 10,000 characters on the screen at once. The idea was to capitalize on the power of the newest consoles. This approach is specifically designed to shine on the PS5 Pro.In addition to hack-and-slash elements, DWO incorporates strategic concepts. Users can issue commands to their troops. Theres also expanded customization for weapons and attacks. Heres a look at gameplay courtesy of a video posted by IGN.Story: The story still focuses on the origins of the Three Kingdoms, but theres a new good guyDWO introduces a new protagonist. The users journey is spiced up by the fact that you have amnesia and interact with historical figures. Im excited to see how that plays out in the game experience.New Features: Bigger armies and better graphicsThe series has run into problems in the past when its tried to reinvent the wheel. DW9 incorporated open-world concepts, and the fanbase didnt seem pleased with that approach.In DWO, youll see a new storyline, characters, the biggest armies in the series history, and improved visuals.Pre-Order Bonuses: Early works soundtrack and a new costume for the protagonistIf you pre-order DWO, youll receive a costume for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and an early works soundtrack that includes 191 original tracks from Dynasty Warriors 2 through Dynasty Warriors 9.Early Access: Yes, for the digital deluxe versionCustomers who purchase the Digital Deluxe version of DWO will get 72 hours early access in addition to the pre-order bonuses plus more content. Heres a look at all of the content:Official Book (Digital, Japanese): The digital edition of the official book accessible in-gameOriginal Soundtrack (Digital Edition): Accessible in-gameGold (10,000): Necessary for buying weapons and portable items in the gamePyroxene (30): Necessary for creating gems in the gameCharacter Skill Tree: New techniquesWere not just talking about wardrobe changes. The new protagonist can add new moves, and there is a built-in skill tree for advancement.Reception: Its been good so farFans seem to be pleased with what theyve seen so far. Many are happy that Tecmo and Omega Force are taking things back to the series original approach while attempting to innovate with the story without changing the gameplay altogether.Im looking forward to giving this one a spin toward the middle of the month.

The design employs a combination of strategies for revitalization, including "demolition, restoration, preservation, renewal, and integration."Save this picture!Save this picture!Demolishing Temporary StructuresThe site was initially burdened by temporary structures.

There is a long list of crafting materials to find and use to upgrade your weapons and pod in NieR: Automata. Many of these materials are easier to obtain later in the game, but finding them early can help make your character much stronger earlier on.

Anime is an international phenomenon nowadays, and this development can be at least partially credited to platforms like Crunchyroll. Firmly established as the main option for streaming anime content, the service has an ever-expanding library that covers classics and modern releases, making them as accessible as possible. While not exhaustive, Crunchyroll has the most substantial (legal) selection in the North American market, exceeding both anime-focused and general alternatives. This fact was reinforced by its merger with Funimation, which saw many of the latter's exclusive shows make their way to Crunchyroll.

In most games, players want to explore a world as quickly as possible to reach the end of a dungeon or find a critical NPC in a town. JRPGs are no exception here, especially since players would jump at any excuse to slash their runtime in these lengthy titles considerably.

It's a triple turntable treat for 2025 plus a "chunky puck", because why not.

Its my favorite time of year: awards season, which celebrates the best of film and television from the past 12 months. Like many entertainment lovers, this Sunday Ill be watching the Golden Globes for the fashion, the jokes, the critics picksand of course, the winners, as the Golden Globe stats are a pretty good precursor to who will be taking home an Oscar two months from now.The 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, January 5, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT), hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who will be the first woman to host the Globes on her own (Amy Poehler and Tina Fey cohosted four times). Despite being the show that kicks off awards season, the Golden Globes is no stranger to controversy. In 2021, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which created the once-venerable Golden Globes organization, was publicly criticized for a lack of Black representation among its members. In response, NBC canceled the 2022 Golden Globes telecast. In 2023, the star-studded ceremony was backbut not before the HFPA sold the Golden Globes to Dick Clark Productions, and in a complete restructuring, dissolved its membership. Fast-forward to January 2025: Enter Glaser, hot off the heels of Netflixs roast of Tom Bradyfor which she got a standing ovation and became one of the most viral moments of 2024. Glasers no shrinking violet, but dont expect her to pull a Jo Koy, last years host, who bombed with a few too many crude jokes at the expense of his star-packed audience. (One target thatll likely be off limits, fingers crossed: the lawsuit-laden feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.)Among the many presenters at theworlds largestawards show (a well-deserved moniker since it celebrates the best of both film and television):Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie,Ariana DeBose, Aubrey Plaza, Awkwafina, Colin Farrell, Jeff Goldblum, Brandi Carlile,Demi Moore, Elton John,Margaret Qualley,Michelle Yeoh, Viola Davis,Zo Kravitz . . . and pretty much any celebrity you can think of from a slew of buzzy performances on both the small and large screens.And now, without further ado, what youve been waiting for: Here, how to watch the Globes live on your computer, mobile device, or TV.CBSThe telecast will air live on CBS. You can stream it onCBS.comor via the CBS app, but for that youll need a paid TV subscription with login credentials. Worth noting: If youre one of the shrinking number of people who still have cable, youre in luck. Ditto if you have an antenna somewhere and can catch it on air for free.Paramount+Paramount+ with Showtime subscriberswill be able to live stream the Golden Globes telecast. But Paramount+ Essential subscribers will have to wait until the next day to watch the show. However, Paramount+ is offering a seven-day free trial, inviting new audiences to try the service along with tuning into this years Globes.Streaming servicesFor those without cable or Paramount+, a number of paid streaming services offer CBS as part of a bundleand are offering free trials as well: Hulu with Live TVYouTube TVFuboDirectTV Stream
