![]() It’s an all-or-nothing approach that is manageable when enemies are in front of you but becomes tiresome as you progress and foes start appearing from all sides, including behind you. Similarly, twisting around to try and see who is shooting you from the side pulls you out of cover and leaves you exposed. You’re glued to whatever pillar or wall you happen to be hiding behind and trying to move away from that spot in a hurry (for instance, when a grenade is thrown your way) is far more fraught than it should be thanks to unresponsive controls and the lack of a roll ability. Moving between points is done with a button press and works well, but the problems start when you’re actually in cover. It’s safe to say that when a game mechanic such as cover forms the lynchpin of the gameplay, it needs to be spot on and co-developers EA Montreal and Visceral have dropped the ball here. Cover-based shooters are a divisive breed and if you’re not a fan of the Gears of War series then Army of Two certainly won’t endear itself to you. Whether it’s the super-armoured Grunts who can take more damage than your standard foe, the Call of Duty slow-motion breaches and aerial cover segments, the regenerating health or the AI which offers bulk but no smarts, it all feels too familiar. Influences from other games aren’t so much hinted at as stolen in their entirety and put into play. The titular cartel is vast and comprises hundreds of enemies but they’re fairly indistinct. As you move from area to area and from cover to cover the same waves of suicidal opponents queue up to get shot. After the initial impact, the glitz and sheen become more obviously superficial and the game loses its footing. It’s fairly subtle.Then something unexpected happens. There’s even a point where the script makes a comment about exploding red barrels in video games, planting the idea that we may be taken on a Whedonesque journey of sassy asides and deadpan self-reference. The Frostbite 2 engine expertly renders the damage inflicted by bullets as pillars crumble, cars explode and crates are reduced to splinters. The lushly drawn environments make an exciting canvas on which the smartly animated duo let loose with all manner of weaponry. Their origin story, set five years earlier, concisely outlines the reasons for making Salem and Rios (from the first two instalments) bit-part characters. Newbies to the franchise will find the slick opening thrilling, as it sets up the main plot of rescuing a kidnapped Mexican politician whilst simultaneously introducing us to the two new protagonists: Alpha and Bravo. ![]() It’s roughly thirty minutes into the seven hour campaign before you realise that Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel isn’t actually very good. ![]()

![]() ![]() Someone needs to hold Cole’s hand through the revolution.The story of Atlanta robbery boy and crack dealer, Curtis Snow, who stole a camera from some college kids in a dope deal and made a documentary about his life. Additionally, he’d like us to consider the possibility that expecting famous men to read (or perhaps even join a book club) before voicing their opinions is just too much to ask for. In essence, Cole would like Noname to be nicer to him and his black celebrity ilk when voicing her legitimate concerns about the failure of capitalism and the state. We may not agree with each other but we gotta be gentle with each other.” And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that’s important. I haven’t done a lot of reading and I don’t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. Meanwhile a nigga like me just be rapping. She has done and is doing the reading and the listening and the learning on the path that she truly believes is the correct one for our people. “I love and honor her as a leader in these times. I accept all conversation and criticisms.”Ĭole went on to directly reference Noname and double down on his assertion that he’s not educated enough to be seen as a leader. That’s fine with me, it’s not my job to tell anybody what to think or feel about the work. Some assume to know who the song is about. “Right or wrong I can’t say, but I can say it was honest. “I stand behind every word of the song that dropped last night,” he wrote on Twitter. As backlash to Cole’s song mounted on Tuesday night, Noname briefly tweeted “QUEEN TONE,” before deleting this, too.Ĭole resurfaced on Wednesday morning to explain his intentions with the song. “Poor black folks all over the country are putting their bodies on the line in protest for our collective safety and y’all favorite top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up,” Noname tweeted in late May before later deleting. The Chicago artist has been skeptical of her peers’ lack of response as protests across the country call for justice after the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others. The response was quick and brutal, with fans across social media connecting the dots to decide that “Snow On Tha Bluff” was a roundabout shot at rapper, activist, and book club organizer Noname. How True Is 'Respect'? Fact-Checking the Aretha Franklin Biopic The Beatles in India: 16 Things You Didn't Know Cole is upset that a woman didn’t expend enough energy and sympathy to teach and critique him as if he were a child. Then the kicker arrives at the song’s climax: “If I could make one more suggestion respectfully/I would say it’s more effective to treat people like children.” At 35 years old, J. Being rich is actually hard, because he feels guilty that he’s not doing enough with his wealth. Despite going to college, he suggests, he’s not as deep or intellectual as everyone thinks he is. At the 48-second mark, the North Carolina rapper introduces his plight: “It’s something about the queen tone that’s botherin’ me.” From there, Cole unravels a tale about an unnamed woman upset at a variety of worthy targets - “crackers, capitalists, police,” but most importantly, in Cole’s case, “celebrities.”Īcross the four-minute song, Cole makes a litany of excuses. It was called “ Snow On Tha Bluff,” and it entered the world with all the confidence of a celebrity who feels they are of the people, while being above their reproach. Cole decided to release a song that he must have meant as a salve for this contentious moment. ![]() ![]() Lee confronts Elle about her candidacy and her relationship problems.

Noah takes Chloe to Thanksgiving dinner, where he discovers how her earring ended up in his room. She tries to run after Noah, but she can’t. She and Marco succeed in their dance and end up kissing, not knowing Noah is there too. On the day of the competition, Lee finds Elle’s application to Harvard and gets angry. On the other hand, Lee and Rachel are starting to have relationship problems because of Elle, which she has no idea about. During training, Elle gets closer to Marco, and the two begin to spend more time together because they are attracted to each other. She wasn’t too keen on it at first, but she did it anyway. He suggests that Elle go to the ball with Marco. During one of his training sessions, Lee has an accident that turns out to be fake. A cash prize was offered for first place in the contest. She decides to enter a dance competition with Lee because she has no money to pay for college. When she confronts Noah, he convinces her that nothing happened between him and Chloe. She doesn’t feel safe with Chloe and finds the earring under Noah’s bed. When Elle arrives at Noah’s, she meets Chloe and her new friends. The situation escalates when she learns that Noah has an attractive girlfriend, Chloe. She is entering her senior year of high school and there are rumors that she and Noah will eventually break up.

One of the greatest benefits of 3D models is that users can choose furniture, appliances, and finishes in order to see how they look in the space. 2D models work well for establishing precise measurements and creating space layouts, while 3D imagery offers depth and gives users a better idea of how their home will look in real life. 2D and 3D Viewsīoth 2D and 3D models are useful when it comes to residential design.

It’s hard to pin it down with other games like Left 4 Dead and Payday 2, simply because there aren’t any other games exactly like Hunt: Showdown out there. Hunt: Showdown is somewhat of a wild card in this list, but that’s by design. There’s also a bar you can drink and dance in between missions. Four wildly different, complimentary classes with a minecart full of different upgrades means tons of variety, but there’s a level of detail, polish, and imagination poured into every facet. It’s hard to pin down exactly what makes Deep Rock Galactic so special, as it’s very much more than the sum of its parts. ![]() The more dwarves that make it out alive, the greater the rewards, which you can then spend on character and equipment upgrades. Each mission has you delve deep into subterranean caves rife with hostile alien flora and fauna, and it’s up to your team to mine precious minerals and complete objectives, before performing a tense and dangerous exfiltration. Landing somewhere between the co-operative teamwork of Left 4 Dead and Payday 2, and the fully-destructible environments of Minecraft, Deep Rock Galactic sees you and up to three friends playing as (and savour this sentence, as it doesn’t come up every day) mining space dwarves.

If you’ve had your fill of genre mainstays, it can be hard to find others to scratch the itch, but we’ve got your itchy back, like a giant back-scratcher made of words. ‘Left-likes’, ‘Dead-likes’, and ‘4-likes’ are three descriptors literally no-one has ever used before and will never use again because they’re all terrible, but you probably get what we’re talking about by now. Usually featuring teams of up to four players, complimentary classes with varied abilities and skill trees, and sporadic hordes of some horror or other trying to ruin your day, these games all share similar DNA. Co-op is one thing, but there’s a certain elusive subgenre – arguably codified by Valve’s 2008 shooter Left 4 Dead – that just scratches an itch other co-operative games can’t.

The good news for Potter fans is that there’s no need to spend ages searching for each film on different streaming services. Netflix and Disney Plus subscribers might be disappointed that none of these films is featured on either service, but they can be found elsewhere. So here’s how you can do that, and here’s where to stream each film.

![]() In open spaces, rapid gallops through forests produces similar results regular single-frame drops on PS4 disrupt motion, while Xbox One runs above 30fps to cause its own frame-pacing issues. Sadly, each turn prompts Sony's platform to hiccup to 29fps as we canter forward, meaning it rarely feels much smoother than Microsoft's platform in a synced test, despite the frame-rate cap. ![]() This is perhaps an issue of background streaming lots of new geometry and NPCs at each turn - as made evident by the heavy texture pop-in for each console. By comparison, PS4 doesn't go over this line, but nor is it especially well optimised for large areas like this, with 25fps lurches seen at its worst. A trip through the busy Novigrad city really puts both consoles through their paces, and Xbox One is essentially reduced to a 29-31fps range of fluctuations that produces stutter. That said, whenever PS4 does render at a clear 30fps, the presence of a cap and the resultant steady frame-pacing makes it the superior game in motion.Īctual gameplay paints a slightly different picture. Where performance is sub-30fps, Xbox One also retains a frame-rate advantage overall - and there's rarely a point in our analysis where Microsoft's hardware isn't ahead. The PS4's approach causes the sensation of stutter to be worse at these stress points. Meanwhile, Sony's platform is stuck at this value for long stretches of a scene. In one later scene involving heavy ice effects, it's notable that Xbox One does glance this 20fps figure at a similar moment, but unlike PS4 it's able to waver up and down the scale more freely. It's an instant switch, much like the double-buffer method of v-sync seen in Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3. However, the problem here is that if the PS4's frame-rate drops below this number, it instantly locks to 20fps. To start with cut-scenes, a firm 30fps line is held on PS4 during an early griffin encounter, and in practice this gives us smoother motion compared to the 35fps read-out on Xbox One (higher frame-rate does not automatically mean a better experience overall, something we've covered in-depth before). However there are issues on the Sony side side as well, and the net result is that neither feels truly smooth, though for very different reasons. This means Sony's machine is in theory capable of a smoother experience - with the cadence of frame delivery forced to a consistent rate. ![]() The first distinction is that PS4 caps its frame-rate at 30fps (with v-sync), while Xbox One runs with no cap at all to allow a variance between 30-40fps during play. For those still mulling over which console version to go for, we can confirm both consoles offer world detail, shadows, lighting and alpha effects to a matching standard - but it's resolution and more importantly frame-rate that sets the two apart. However, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One each throw a curve-ball in their delivery of the game, particularly when it comes to the subject of performance. It's one of the finest RPGs of this generation to date. In the critical sphere, and despite some rough technical points ![]() |
