![]() The story isn’t afraid to get a bit political and call out the ultrarich elite who make the world a worse place for their own benefit, although it’s more focused on demonizing the people rather than the system that creates them.Įnvironmental storytelling is top-notch especially, and there are a wealth of well-written notes scattered around locations that paint pictures of blissful ignorance or paranoia in the days before an apocalyptic event. Some missions - like one where a haunted mansion is explored through two different eras - have stuck with me since playing them. ![]() Between worldsĪt times, Redfall dives into striking narrative territory thanks to some strong writing and mission premises. That’s a shame, too, as Redfall is stronger narratively. Enjoyable combat only goes so far, as open-world contemporaries like Far Cry 6 feel like they have more going on from a world design perspective. This isn’t unusual for open-world games, but it demonstrates that Arkane is barely playing to its strengths in Redfall. There weren’t any clever stealth or secret world interactions to accomplish this goal, though I simply had to walk around and not shoot anyone until the game told me to. This became clear when one mission stood out from the pack by asking me to infiltrate a cult’s camp, not just kill a target or collect something. The only real interaction I ever had with Redfall’s world was pointing and shooting. Immersive sims - a subgenre that puts an emphasis on player choice and freedom - are all about interaction. Various classes of vampires shake fights up by teleporting and striking with more powerful melee attacks, but my playthrough was a disappointing breeze on the game’s default difficulty setting.Īrkane is barely playing to its strengths in Redfall.Īrkane hasn’t advertised Redfall as an immersive sim as much as its previous games, and I can see why. AI struggles to spot me and aim correctly, even in single-player (Layla’s umbrella ability felt useless at times because enemies right in front of me would just stare at me and not shoot when I had it active). Loot and a deep skill tree give a constant feeling of progression, but the enemies never feel that tough. aesthetic setting stands out, its world design is much less inspired as I joylessly explore my surroundings to follow objective markers, fight bullet-spongey enemies in empty open spaces built for multiplayer, and am forced to do repetitive side missions to progress the main story. It’s not as good at making open-world games, though. With this and Deathloop, Arkane has proven it has fine-tuned the first-person shooter genre when it comes to game feel. These powers, as well as Redfall’s variety of guns, all feel great to use. I played as Layla, a college student with magical powers that include spawning an umbrella to block bullets and deflect their energy back, creating an elevator that will boost her into the air, and summoning her vampire ex-boyfriend to help her fight. Players fight back as one of four superpowered individuals, each of which has unique powers. In Redfall, a group of big pharma billionaires have turned into vampires and taken over a small Massachusetts fishing town. Despite that, a design identity crisis and a bevy of technical issues make this a surprising disappointment from a development team that’s capable of so much more. Redfall’s writing and gunplay are competent and build upon Arkane’s expertise. And while multiplayer is inherently more fun, lots of little annoyances stack up to make it an inferior choice compared to much better co-op shooters on the market. The ideas don’t mesh well design caveats made to accommodate multiplayer suck the blood out of Redfall’s single-player experience. It’s trying to be an intense, emotional, and political immersive sim about vampires, but also an endlessly replayable co-op, open-world shooter. Redfall is conflicted about what it wants to be. That’s why it’s a shame that these are two of the only scenes in which Redfall captures that magic.

![]() Successful hunts result in either new trophies for your nameless protagonist’s showroom or a cash prize which can be spent on new weapons, clothes, scopes, gear and hunting licenses, providing at least some incentive to go after the biggest and most valuable of the game’s 33 species. This is a game that provides little in the way of external motivation, instead relying on the player’s desire to take to the six wide open nature reserves spanning America and Europe for the pure, simple joy of it. Players used to the ‘Ubisoft’ style of game structure-with progress bars, challenges, and upgrade trees on all sides-will be poorly served here. Like with real hunting, the act of tracking and stalking prey must be inherently appealing to you if you’re hoping to get the most out of Hunting Simulator 2. Plus, with dogs benefitting from improved doggy-stats the more you take them out on hunts, staying loyal to one hunting partner is incentivised. More breeds can eventually be bought, but I’d forged a relationship with Ned and wouldn’t give him up no amount of increased hunting potential could get in the way of what WE had. My Beagle, Ned, was a little too ‘barky’ at times, but he was superb at following tracks-even reacquiring tracks that I’d since lost. It must be a universal law that all entertainment is improved with dogs because, like with everything else featuring a canine companion, Hunting Simulator 2 is improved by its pups. The genuine cries of joy prompted by those first few successful hunts can’t be denied and almost makes the lengthy preamble worth it… almost. Even if tracking your prey is made bland by the unimpressive environments, bagging an elusive, hard-to-track target is a thrill and one of the game’s few highlights. Tools can be used to aid this process: scent disguisers, animal callers, rangefinders and wind checkers, but mostly, it’s down to you and your dog (who, thankfully, can be petted) to land that kill. ![]() A successful hunt involves following your prey’s tracks as they grow increasingly fresh, sneaking up on them and landing that perfect shot to the vital organs before bagging up the fresh corpse and heading back to your grand but soulless home. Stalking, killing and bagging prey-with the help of your faithful tracker dog-is a process that merely pays homage to the real act of hunting, certainly not to the extent that it earns a label like ‘Simulator’. It’s impossible to imagine the characters briefly established during the tutorial living here, and frankly, I don’t want to meet the person who does. If you told me this lodge was the holiday home of Patrick Bateman I wouldn’t be surprised classical music, pristine surfaces and not a sign of being lived in almost make the place eerie to walk around. Even the tutorial, which establishes a clear “get out with my pals, hunt some game and be back to work for Monday morning” tone, is harshly countered by how it’s followed up by an immediate visit to the suspiciously soulless (and presumably expensive) hunting lodge that acts as the protagonist’s home base. Some mechanics-like the player having a scent or animal tracks gradually fading over time-suggest developer Neopica wants to recreate a true hunting experience, while several arcadey concessions-including lack of bullet drop or wind direction-confuse the experience and leave it without a clear sense of purpose. Hunting Simulator 2 is an indecisive game both tonally and gameplay-wise it seems split between two opposing design philosophies. Unfortunately, despite the fleeting highs of hunting victory that punctuate sessions with Hunting Simulator 2, the game’s lack of depth combined with a muddled mix of simulation features and arcadey mechanics make the game more of a tiresome chore than an immersive, virtual hunting getaway. I was genuinely excited to explore lovingly-rendered nature reserves and immerse myself in a pastime all-but absent from my country’s culture. It’s why I was looking forward to booting up Hunting Simulator 2. ![]() Even as a Brit who’s never so much as held a gun, let alone had the urge to shoot animals with one, the appeal of hunting is not lost on me. Wide open spaces, zero distractions and one simple goal.

This makes it even smaller than Instax Mini film, and the smallest instant film available right now. The image area is almost square at 1.85” x 1.81”, and the full Polaroid measures at 2.6” x 2.1”. The Polaroid Go film keeps the classic Polaroid shape but at about a third of the size. The Polaroid Go has its own film, which is mini in size as well, so the camera is not compatible with Polaroid SX-70, 600, or i-Type film. It really let’s you be more creative and makes the Polaroid Go into something more than a simple point and shoot. Not the most intuitive thing in the world, but even though it is a little messy, I am thrilled that Polaroid included a double exposure feature in this camera. Press the shutter to take the second exposure. To turn the flash off for the second exposure, press the flash button once and the orange light will turn off. The orange light next to the number 2 will have turned back on, saying the flash is on again. The film counter will change to the number 2, letting you know it’s ready for the second exposure. Press the shutter button to take your first exposure. The film counter will change to the number 1. Then, double tap the flash button to put it into double exposure mode. You’ll see the orange light next to the film counter button turn off. With your camera on, press the flash button once to turn the flash off. This will take a few extra steps using that flash button. When in double exposure mode, the film counter shows a 1 for the first exposure and a 2 for the second exposure.Ī shooting experience you might run into is wanting to take a double exposure but also wanting the flash off for one or both exposures. Having everything controlled by the flash button is a lot! But after a little practice, it does start to become second nature. Once you take the second exposure, the film will eject. The film counter number will switch to a 2, so you know you can go ahead with the second exposure. The shutter will fire, but the film will not eject. Press the shutter button when you’re ready. This will change the film counter number to a 1, letting you know you’re about to take the first picture of your double exposure. You can also shoot double exposures with the Polaroid Go! As with the other features, this is controlled by the flash button.īefore you take the first shot of your double exposure, press the flash button twice. Shooting Double Exposures on the Polaroid Go Press the shutter button to start the 9 second self-timer countdown. The orange light indicates that it is in self-timer mode. Then, press the shutter button, the orange light on the front of the camera will start flashing, and you have nine seconds to get in position before the shot fires. This lets you know that the self-timer is ready to go. Hold the flash button for longer than two seconds, and an orange light will turn on under the flash bar on the front of the camera. The self-timer is controlled by the flash button as well. And since it charges through micro USB, you can charge it from your car if you’re out shooting and get caught with low battery. It’s stated that the battery life should last for about 15 packs of film. The light next to the charging port will flash green while charging, and then turn off when it is fully charged. It charges by micro USB, and takes about two hours to fully charge. ![]() I had no problem throwing it in a bag without a case or letting it dangle from my wrist. It’s made of a durable, hard plastic that feels quite sturdy. ![]() It is fully point and shoot with no options to control your exposure, and with such a high minimum shutter speed and aperture, the brighter the shooting conditions the better.Īs for the build, the Polaroid Go has a clean and playful design that has the feel of a classic Polaroid but in a modern, miniature package. ![]() The lens is plastic and not particularly sharp but is decent for a plastic lens on an instant camera.

In the announcement, the paper reported that Booker held scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgetown, Michigan and South Alabama. For the year, Booker averaged 22.8 points per game and was named the South Mississippi Player of the Year by the Sun Herald, becoming just the second sophomore to be awarded the honor. Wayne County focused their defense on Booker, holding him to a single, first-quarter free throw, en route to a 57–37 victory that ended Moss Point's season. In the championship game against Pascagoula High School, Booker was held to single-digit scoring (8) for only the second time in the season as Moss Point lost 48–32, setting up an away game with defending state champion Wayne County High School in the first round of the South State playoffs. īooker was limited to just 14 points, with no field goals made in the second half, in a 57–55 win over Gautier High School in the opening round of the Division 7-5A tournament. At that time, his father told reporters that Booker was drawing interest from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Florida, Alabama, Georgetown, Michigan and Missouri. He followed up that performance with 32 points, including a game-winning three-pointer, against Murrah High School and was named 's Southeast Player of the Week. In the Laurel MLK Shootout, Booker scored 54 points against Northeast Jones High School, falling nine shy of Litterial Green's Moss Point record for most points in a game, set in 1988. By early January, Press-Register sportswriter Creg Stephenson opined, "Sophomore guard Devin Booker has developed into one of the top players on the coast in his first season with the Tigers' varsity, averaging 22.7 points per game." In December, he hit a buzzer beater from just beyond half court to beat Harrison Central High School, improving Moss Point's record to 4–6 on the year. In his team's fifth game of the season-a 52–32 loss to Gulfport High School-Booker scored more points (17) than the rest of his teammates combined (15). He enrolled at Moss Point High School, where his father was hired as an assistant coach, in August 2011. High school career Sophomore yearĪfter playing for the freshman, junior varsity and varsity basketball teams during his freshman year at Grandville High School in Michigan, Booker moved to Mississippi to live with his father after the latter's retirement from professional basketball. During his time in middle school, Booker became friends with future fellow NBA players D'Angelo Russell and Tyler Ulis. Booker was taught by his father that having basketball IQ was just as important as natural athleticism. At age 12 while visiting him in Milan, he played one-on-one with Danilo Gallinari, then teammate of his father's at Olimpia Milano. He visited his father regularly during the summer. Booker was born and raised in Grand Rapids, living with his mother, who is reportedly of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent while his African-American father pursued a professional basketball career internationally. His parents met while his father was playing basketball for the Continental Basketball Association's Grand Rapids Hoops in Gutiérrez's hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Play Sid Meier’s Civilization (Win 3.x) online Initially you’re living in Despotism, but this can stunt growth of your civilization, so it’s a good idea to switch to something else – Monarchy, Republic, Democracy or Communism. How your cities prosper depends partially on the type of government that your nation has. Pollution is a bad thing if there’s too much of it, global warming may occur. Most technologies give you some new units, buildings and other things, although some have more interesting effects – for example, after inventing the Automobile, you’ll find out that your citizens started producing pollution. Initially, you’ll be finding out about the wonders of Alphabet or Bronze Working, but late in the game you’ll be researching Computers and Robotics. The more science your cities produce, the faster you research new technologies. Scientific progress is an important part of the game. Caravans can be sent to faraway cities to increase trade in their home city, and they can also help in building Wonders of the World. Diplomats can be sent to foreign cities to negotiate with the other nations or create embassies, but they can also bribe enemy units to join you and conduct espionage and sabotage in the enemies’ cities. Settlers are used to build cities, create roads (for easier travel of your units) and improve the land around cities, increasing production. You control each of your military units on the world map, attacking your opponents’ units and cities (possibly taking over them). Sure, you can sign peace treaties with other nations, and even exchange scientific knowledge with them (although sometimes they’ll demand tribute from you), but eventually you’ll probably have to fight. There are other nations in the world, and there are also barbarians, so you’ll have to invest into the military to protect yourself and to attack. They give you a lot of benefits if you complete them, but they take a long time to build, and many of them will eventually stop working. Each Wonder is an unique thing, and only one of each can exist in the world. If you’re ambitious, you can build Wonders of the World – epic constructions, such as the Pyramids or the Hoover Dam. You decide how much trade you want to invest into each of these areas.) You have to make sure that your people are in a good mood if they get too unhappy, the city will collapse into disorder, and won’t produce anything until you fix the situation. Most of people in your cities will be working on the neighbouring lands to get food (without it, your city won’t survive or grow), production (used to build military units and buildings) and trade (which can be exchanged for money, science (see below) or luxuries that make people happy. ![]() You have to build cities, and then micromanage them, constructing various buildings.
