Helldivers 2 players are celebrating a dramatic 11th-hour victory that saw hundreds of thousands of the digital soldiers unite to defend 10 worlds from the undemocratic grip of advancing bug-like Terminids, and soulless Automatons. However, some members of the community have found themselves wondering whether Arrowhead’s game master Joel may have stacked the odds in their favor to stave off defeat.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Elena And Rude Fight References The Original Game
12.04.2024 - 03:59 / thegamer.com
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a great celebration of the original title whilst being its own unique experience. It's constantly paying homage to the game that it's building upon, full of little references, foreshadowing, and adorable moments scattered across the story for OG Final Fantasy 7 fans to point at and appreciate. Some of them are so subtle that they're only just being discovered weeks after launch, which is the case for our topic of discussion today.
First shared by Twitter user SG_ANGUS, they noticed that you can find a very subtle nod to the original Final Fantasy 7 during the first fight with Elena and Rude in the Mythril Cave. A little ways into the fight, Elena will target Cloud with a move called the Elena Knuckle, a very slow and telegraphed attack that has her wind up a punch for a long time and then strike.
However, if you quickly run over to the nearby cliff edge while she's winding up her punch, and then dodge out of the way when she goes to strike you, Elena will miss and roll rather comically down the cliff side and leave the fight momentarily. She then runs all the way around to the entrance of the arena, catches her breath, and rejoins the fight.
Those of you who played the original Final Fantasy 7 will know that Elena shows up a lot more throughout the entire game, and this fight in Rebirth is very clearly referencing a scene in the original in which Elena confronts Cloud at Icicle Inn. In the scene, Elena is confident that she can take down Cloud with one punch, and the game then tasks you with dodging that punch.
Dodge it successfully and Elena goes sailing past Cloud and starts rolling head first down a snowy hill, much to the dismay of the two Shinra soldiers accompanying her. You can even see that Elena rolls off the cliff in Rebirth extremely similarly to how she rolls down the hill in the original, so it's definitely a little nod to the joke. Now people know it's a thing, I see more cliff dives for Elena in the near future.

Final Fantasy 12’s combat is a neglected masterpiece of game design
Thinking about Dragon’s Dogma 2’s interestingly scrappy combat recently took me back to another time when a major role-playing game series tried something very different with its combat mechanics. In this case, the designers’ goal was the same as Capcom’s with the first Dragon’s Dogma: a single-player RPG that felt like a massively multiplayer online game to play. But the resulting system couldn’t have been more different, and stands as one of the most fascinating dead ends in game design history.

Xbox Game Pass Users, Play These Six Games Before They Leave On April 30
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience. While that might sound like a bad deal, it makes sense given the already massive catalog on offer and users can still pick up the departing games for a discount before they eventually leave.
