Sniper elite 5 review3/11/2023 Every stage has an abundance of invisible walls, impenetrable bushes, unclimbable barricades, or otherwise closed paths that limit where players can go. However, the new pathways and glimpses of a better game are tainted by its overwhelmingly strict design. Some areas have multiple paths in and are more open than the ones in Sniper Elite 4 since Karl can climb vines and unlock a few more doors, thanks to the new bolt cutters. Its eight maps are large and seem like open sandboxes, but it’s mostly a flimsy illusion. The game’s levels are similarly rough around the edges. In Sniper Elite 5, they often act erratically and irrationally or bend logic to ensure that sneaking is never as solid as it should be. Enemies in stealth games need to be aware and somewhat predictable, yet also still a little unpredictable to maintain a challenge. Moments like this where the guards break any semblance of rational thinking to do something utterly bizarre happen all too often, and while the specifics will likely vary from player to player, the through line remains the same: They’re not fit for a stealth game. They’re also prone to continually loop their investigation phase for seemingly no reason, raising the threat level in the process. Inversely, tossing a bottle in front of a guard on the top floor can cause him to book it to the bottom floor to investigate. Throwing a body in the bottom floor of a multistory building can attract a whole platoon of guards multiple floors up. Snipers can abandon their safe nests and sprint down to street level if they catch a glimpse of the player. These are extreme examples, as they can also even act obtusely and further prove their ineptness, even on higher difficulties. This dichotomy means that they’re too easy to sneak around or unfairly intelligent, which are both unsatisfying for different reasons. For example, guards can sometimes start firing on the player’s position even if said guard couldn’t have actually seen them, yet they’ll ignore a gigantic explosion when it’s just yards away. They’ll sometimes pinpoint Karl with an unnatural accuracy or they’ll be aloof to his presence when they shouldn’t. “Bad” doesn’t always mean stupid, and that’s part of the problem they’re inconsistent. Stabbing and silently shooting around can be rewarding at times when a Nazi falls into a trap or gets outflanked, but it’s often hampered by the game’s bad artificial intelligence. The borrowed premise gives it something to work off of and potentially improve on, but the template doesn’t do much help because of the numerous oddities and shortcomings that infect almost every part of it. Players are left to shoot and sneak around, all the while using the game’s infamous X-ray kill cam to admire every organ as it turns into goo. This fifth entry drops returning gruff protagonist Karl Fairburne on a somewhat large map with various objectives and Nazis littered around, all with very squishy insides. Most of this is because Sniper Elite 5 is a lot like that predecessor. The comparison wasn’t favorable to Sniper Elite 4 and while Sniper Elite 5 had the chance to better earn that comparison, it once again squanders its potential and barely manages to clear the low bar set by its predecessor. Optimistically, it was to refresh the series for its fourth entry, but pessimistically, it was trying to emulate Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and its impeccable stealth sandbox. Sniper Elite changed with Sniper Elite 4.

Borderlands 3 ultraball grenade mod3/11/2023 In this guide we will look at the basics on how legendary items work, the best ways to farm these weapons and items and a complete list of all legendaries with an individual guide for each showing stats and location (if it has a specific location) plus more useful info on weapons. Unlike unique items, legendary items can spawn at any time in the game world as random loot drops from enemies, chests or even inside of toilet i loot once, however the best way is to farm enemies and certain enemies can increase the odds of finding one, loot tinks, bosses and mini bosses are some of the best examples of ways to get legendary items. These are special versions of weapons, grenades, shields and more with better stats, new styles, skins, and hidden effects from just the regular in game weapons and there is something satisfying about seeing that golden shiny colour when you see one amongst your other loot. I'm pretty excited for this new system with multiple mods as it should be way more customizable.It’s impossible to play Borderlands 3 and not spend some of your time looking out for one of the 200 Legendary items available in game. These are of course only the modifiers that I was able to find, I'm sure there are more to find and explore as we learn more about the game. Imgur album for each of the item cards I pulled this info from. Transfusion - Heals for 30% of health damage dealt. Singularity - Pulls enemies in for 1.0 seconds. I actually claimed these at level 50 and don't even bother. That can make it rather difficult when it comes to deciding what to equip and what to drop. Realized these leveled with me, wondering if they are work using at this high level Butt Bomb isn't bad but there are much better grenades out there. The fourth installment in the series, Borderlands 3 released in September 2019 and comes with over a billion weapons and items to equip. Rubberized - Rubberized grenades bounce, each bounce increases explosion damage and radius. Deluxe Grenades (Diamond Butt Bomb, Ultraball) Has anyone tried these at level 50 Ignored my mail inbox on Zane until I hit level 50. Rain - Launches up and fires 3 grenades down around it Money - Enemies drop some cash when damaged. Mini- Mirv - MIRV's spawn 3 more grenades Longbow - Longbow grenades teleport to their destination Lobbed - Grenades explode shortly after impact Some firearms in the warehouse are not original by me. Directors Cut) Several firearms, multiple mod grenades, ultimate class mods and shields. Link - +15% damage for each enemy damaged Edit multiple guns and mods with Bl3SaveEditor. Jumping - Jumps 1 time, +10% damage per jump. Generator - Heals shields for 30% of shield damage dealt So there is potential for doubling mods for more powerful effects.Īrtillery - Fires bullets dealing 13 damage per second.īlight - Irradiates area and deals damage for 4 seconds.īouncy - Bounces and detonates up to 3 timesĮxploder - Grenades explode when impacting an enemy.ĭivider - Splits into 3 grenades in flight. I did find one instance of a double transfusion mod which doubled the effect to healing for 60% of health damage dealt. Grenade Mods - Grenade mods have between 0 and 4 modifiers on the item card depending on rarity. Spike - Returns 52 damage if meleed while shielded Safe-Space - Deals area-knockback on shield break Roid - +80% melee damage while shield is depeleted Resistant - Grants resistance to an element Nova - Triggers 929 Damage nova when shield breaks Health Charge - When damaged, has a 20% chance to drop a health charge that restores 20% of max health (Level was lower on the double Nova shield causing low damage.)Ībsorb - 10% chance to absorb bullets as ammoĪdaptive - +8% Health and 20% resistance to the last damage type received for 3 seconds.Īdrenaline - +30% reload speed while shield is depletedĪmp - While full, shots drain 30% shields for +20% weapon damage.īooster - When damaged, has a 20% chance to drop a booster that restores 20% shieldsįleet - +30% movement speed while shield is depletedįortify Charge - When Damaged, has a 20% chance to drop a Fortify charge that grants 10% damage reduction I have come across instances of multiple of the same mod appearing on one shield like a Nova Nova shield however I'm not sure what that did because the damage was lower than other shields with only 1 Nova mod. Shield Mods - Shields now have between 0 and 3 extra modifiers on the item card that modify how the shield behaves. Director's Cut) Several firearms, multiple mod grenades, ultimate class mods and shields. Also the percentages could very well change based on level and/or rarity but I documented what I was able to confirm. Edit multiple guns and mods with Bl3SaveEditor. The info I found is all from the Early Gameplay footage and could all change. So I watched several streams back and collected the info I could find. I've seen plenty of hype and excitement for the new guns and legendaries but very little mention of new/updated grenade and shield mods.

Raid alert wow3/10/2023 To start a raid, you have two options: type /raid followed by the channel’s name you’d like to transfer your viewers to, or you can use the raid channel function on the dashboard to select from a list of streamers. Even if you specifically stated earlier in your broadcast that you will be starting a raid soon, it’s always good to remind your viewers that you will transfer them to another channel momentarily. Make things smoother by informing your audience of your plan to begin the raid in a few moments. While the main step is technically just typing out a command to initiate the process, we’ve added some additional measures to ensure your viewers have the best experience when participating in a Twitch Raid. If you find yourself wanting to start a raid, it’s pretty easy to do so. A Twitch raid moves viewers from one channel to another, whereas a host retains viewers on the same channel they were previously on and only plays another stream on their channel. Some users already on Twitch may be wondering how Raids differ from another known feature called Hosting. This way, Streamer A’s viewers are still on the platform after they end their stream, and Streamer B gets an automatic audience boost. For example, if Streamer A is currently streaming a PVP stream on a specific game, they can tell their viewers to check out Streamer B afterward by joining in an initiated Twitch Raid. With a Twitch Raid, streamers can work with other streamers to create a more seamless flow between content and assist each other in boosting views. Twitch is a community-driven platform, so seeing streamers collaborating during a streaming session is relatively standard. Some new streamers may wonder why they want to send their viewers somewhere else. The main concept behind a Twitch Raid is sending viewers to another Twitch stream once yours ends. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through the details of what a Twitch Raid is, how to start your own, and what to do if you find yourself raided by another streamer. One feature that streamers can utilize is the Raid function, which transfers current viewers of one steamer’s channel to another once the first stream ends. Luckily for you, most of their tools are pretty intuitive and are built with developing their community of streamers in mind. Even experienced streamers may be surprised about the extensive suite of functionality Twitch offers its streamers. Streaming on Twitch can be a bit of a learning curve for those just beginning to stream.

Harmony crypto3/10/2023 This introduces the cross-chain interoperability concept. If one crypto platform delivers better transactional finality whereas another delivers better privacy, crypto users should be able to leverage the best of both worlds. To fulfill these expectations, blockchain platforms aim toward a future where they complement each other. With the hype around blockchain technology in recent years, expectations have also skyrocketed. Harmony: Improving Interoperability With Cross-Chain Architecture This means that it supports apps built for ETH, further fostering scalability. The ecosystem’s developers used Neon EVM to create a compatibility layer for Ethereum projects on the Solana (SOL) blockchain. It also boasts lower transaction fees compared to the ETH network.ĭevelopers are even more excited about the Solana (SOL) network because of its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) support. Solana (SOL) is a smart contact-enabled, proof-of-stake (PoS) network that boasts the highest throughput in the blockchain industry with an estimated optimal tps rate of 65,000. The Solana (SOL) network has become a formidable rival to the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, outperforming the older cryptographic ledger in some metrics, including the number of executed transactions. The new upgrade is anticipated to boost the Ethereum network from 30 tps to over 100,000 tps.īut the high gas fees and slow transaction speeds forced projects and developers to shift to more efficient networks like Solana (SOL). The recent launch of Ethereum 2.0 (Merge) is expected to improve scalability by increasing the tps (transaction per second). The rising number of projects on the network caused significant scalability challenges, including high gas fees and slow transaction speed. Yet, the Ethereum blockchain currently enjoys greater popularity among blockchain developers, with over 70% of blockchain projects being Ethereum-based. However, both the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains are experiencing scalability problems. The network was designed to support decentralized apps while handling a significant volume of crypto transactions. The Ethereum blockchain became a step ahead of the BTC network because of its smart contracts capabilities.

Half life source fixed3/10/2023 Its sharp sequences, grand level design, and how it weaves into the HL lore make it an absolute standout. Overall, Echoes is a finely polished experience that should absolutely not be missed. Echoes falls just short of the annoyance limit in its cutscenes, and soon you’re right into the action thankfully. As a HL mapper myself I’m averse to cutscenes – although done right they are acceptable in mods. Thankfully they’re not used too much and thus don’t overstay their welcome. If I had to nitpick, I would say some of the early cutscenes run a little too long for my taste. Playing through again today to grab screenshots still had me smiling in a couple spots, the sequences are just that damn entertaining. There are some great returns to previously-visited areas and some fantastic tension set up with a couple of enemies throughout the game. The mod is chock full of awesome sequences and setpieces, and all the locations in between don’t just feel like filler material. There are some truly breathtaking areas in Echoes, and they’re not just for show – you spend a good amount of time in these areas and you’re usually doing something (fighting, running for your life, solving puzzles, etc.).Įchoes stands out for me because of the ‘feel’. Echoes really captures what makes Black Mesa a memorable location for me – the grandness and the scale. The representation of the Black Mesa Research Facility is superb, it’s right up there with Focalpoint for my favorite version of BMRF. At long last the full Echoes has been released, and it’s even better than the quick teaser I got in 2014. I was impressed by the scale and polish of the maps, and all it did was leave me with the taste for a full-blown mod. More than 4 years ago MrGnang shared the opening 1/3 or so of Echoes with me to test. Well, Echoes has been long anticipated – at least by me. Lastly, due to the detail in some areas, I would recommend running this on a more modern computer than what Half-Life was designed for originally. Music is integral to this mod, and the soundtrack may not work if this is played any other way. This mod has been created and tested for the Windows version of Half-Life on Steam, and it is not compatible with Half-Life Source or the old WON version of Half-Life. I never expected it to be as large an undertaking as it turned out to be, and I also could have never anticipated that I would get married and become a father in the time I worked on this project! It has been a long journey, but very much worth it. I initially had just hoped to make a short and simple campaign that I myself would enjoy, working on it sporadically over the years in my spare time. This is my first real modding effort, which I began around 5 years ago. This Half-Life mod will let you experience the Black Mesa incident from a different perspective, with some insights into mysterious events which Gordon Freeman was not present for.
