Now, I totally understand that it may be a game design choice to show players that you need some effort to traverse the map, but when you are short on time and need to spend some finite resources (that you need to use in crafting, by the way) to travel to your intended location, playing the game becomes a chore. If you die while facing these mobs, you know it’s because of your own mistakes, rather than feeling helpless because you were outnumbered.Īnother opportunity that New World missed was the implementation of a horse/steed to traverse its vast open world. You can take mobs down easily by using stealth and using the movement mechanics present in the game.Įlden Ring doesn’t throw an insurmountable amount of mobs at you to handle. Perhaps I have not run into any mob-spawning bosses in the Elden Ring beta, but I am convinced that FromSoftware will know how to balance the experience of a boss battle better than Amazon, based on my past experiences from the other Souls games.Įven battles with mobs felt controlled, and you don’t feel like you are being overwhelmed. Even when you co-op with other players, the boss is the only thing you fight. In Elden Ring, the game always allows you to fight the boss in a one-on-one battle. Half the time, I end up relying too much on my tank teammates to draw the attention of the boss so I could clear the mobs before going back in to do combat. (Image: FromSoftware)Īt higher levels, the large volume of mobs that can attack and swarm you if you engage them will only mean an instant death if you play solo, so dodging or evading will only get you so far.Įven at higher levels and attempting to take on bosses that are very much on a par with a Souls-like game (yes, they can kill you in one hit), it felt like the game threw in too many mobs to disrupt the flow of combat. I started out as a sword and shield player in New World, and then graduated to Strength and Dexterity melee weapons because that is how I like to play my ARPGs.įirst rule of Elden Ring, if it looks like it could squish you, it's likely to squish you. Things start to differ when you start comparing the polish of these mechanics in both of these games. Both have a stamina bar, interchangeable weapons, different weapon types for different styles of play, a roll/evade as a dodge, consequences for death, a vast open world, among many other things. The combat and interface of New World and Elden Ring have a lot of things in common. In fact, the reason why I picked up New World was because I had the hope and impression that the combat would be very similar to a Souls game, among many other things. On the surface, these two games are very much alike. A Souls-like game generally has hard-hitting mobs and bosses that can kill your character in one to two hits, consequences for death, a combat system that may tie to a stamina bar or a resource bar. To the uninitiated, a “Souls-like” game refers to a specific style of action role playing games (ARPG), which started off with FromSoftware’s release of Demon’s Souls in 2009. That’s okay since Bandai Namco says that the Closed Network Test will limit players’ progress for only the early parts of the game, anyway.Who doesn't love a good dragon fight? (Image: FromSoftware) With only three hours for each instance, you won’t have a lot of time with the game. Make sure to mark your calendars this early and phone in your work leaves. Once you’re selected, there will be four instances of the test: Registering gives you a chance to be selected, so it’s still not a sure-fire way to get early impressions in for Elden Ring. Simply head to the Bandai Namco website here and follow the on-screen instructions. To join in, you’ll have to register before November 1, 2021. Cross-play between the same console family will be available. The Closed Network Test will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The test – a sort of beta testing that’s focused on the game’s online capabilities. Rise, Tarnished! Bandai Namco’s newsletter reads, encouraging us to sign up for the upcoming Closed Network Test. FromSoftware’s Elden Ring will have a Closed Network Test soon, and Bandai Namco is promoting it through a brand-new trailer. In this activity, students are asked to write down three things about themselves, two of the things must be true and one thing must be false. This is another meet-and-greet icebreaker that can be used in small classes. You can also have them name something they -don't- like to eat if they are stuck. I'm the last person on the list so I have to name everyone's food in the class. Person has to repeat each of the ones before him, so that it keeps adding up. Basically you start with a studentĪnd have him give his name and something he likes to eat that starts with the This is meant to be a solitary inventory, though it can be fun to collate the data and come up with Top 10 lists.īut it is a good way to learn students' names. Students fill out this graphic with information about their favorite movies, books, sports and other personal data. What kind of pets do you have? (What kind of pet would you like to have?): Long thinking about it, which is not the point of this exercise. Questions like "what is your biggest fear" students will take too Students becoming anxious about the question. I prefer my questions to be very nonpersonal to avoid Student will also help me remember their names by associating them with some Then I can find John and prompt him to speak by asking "what did you likeĪbout it?" or "what was it about?". Of the pile and say "John recommends the movie "Transformers". My students and prompt short discussions. All of the activities listed below require minimal materials and advance planning.Ĭollect some information about students. I also do some lab-based activities with older students such as the Mystery Powder Activity, but that does require set-up. This list continues to be updated as I change things year after year or find new activities to try with students. First days are notorious for interruptions, schedule changes, lost kids, and unpredictable schedules. I often don't do the same one for each class either and may vary the activity based on how much class time we actually have. I've compiled this list of activities over the years as I find new interesting things to do with kids the first day. Certain other NPC's have been set to unessential, killing certain people (such as Harkness) will cause you to fail any quests related to them. Certain children, if armed, will open fire on you if you aggro them. Kids are now killable, if you have an issue with this feature, I suggest you watch your fire around children. Be warned that drawing a weapon will destroy your cover, so don't think that this is a feature you can use to gun down enemies as their friends watch. You can take Talon or Raider armor and disguise yourself with it. Unfortunately, there is no way to allow the player to refill them in the rivers/bodies of water. Bottles can be refilled from sinks and other water sources. Severely reduced HP bonuses given when you level up or increase your Endurance level. items are now more useful, and have various weight and value rebalances, to be more realistic and fun. The Workbench, Laboratory, Vending Machines, and Infirmaries now all work very differently. Centaur's actually carry some loot now, don't ask where. Night vision goggles, which are a stealthy and effective way to light up your surroundings, while keeping enemies in the dark. You can now listen to 20 of your favorites songs as you roam the wasteland! Wasteland Wave, a personal radio station that is accessible 24/7. It also allows you to trade in rare books for more trade points then your average skill book. A book trade-in terminal at the Arlington Library, that allows you to swap a skill book for a different one. Taking more of the drug when addicted is a bad idea, as it will only make it harder to kick the addiction later on, and there is no alleviating the effects. If you go over a certain limit, then you become addicted. I hated the crappy, luck-based addiction system, so I replaced it with a system that counts the amount of a drug you've used in a certain period of time. Weapons have new firing sound effects that are much better, in my opinion. Weapon mods now you can find modified weapons throughout the wasteland (Suppressor, ACOG, etc).īullet casings stay around a LOT longer, and can be seen from a greater distance. New, more realistic and varied clip sizes.ĭamage increased GREATLY, much more realistic.Ĭertain weapons are now actually useful (Miss Launcher, MIRV, etc). Certain perks modified to fit with the mod.ĭifferent skills (RPG-7 uses Explosives skill, not Big Guns). The Personal Sanitizer now takes one Abraxo Cleaner per food or beverage cleaned, but totally removes any radiation from the food. Giving the beggars water now only gives you a tenth of the good Karma you used to receive. Various Karma rebalances, for example: killing Roy Phillips no longer makes you lose Karma. Stealing a few items should NOT be as evil as killing someone. The karma penalty for stealing items has been reduced from 5 to 1. Cars and vehicles don't explode into nuclear fireballs with only a few bullets, seriously, who'd feel safe in a vehicle like that? There are no longer laser or plasma weapons, except some mounted on larger structures (such as vertibirds and The fake (and boring) default Fallout 3 weapons are gone, replaced by real-life variants, such as the AK-47 to replace the "Chinese Assault Rifle", the M4A1 to replace the "Laser Rifle", etc. Jericho now actually buys new equipment and weapons with the 1000 caps you give him. Use them to store caps and gain interest on them. The Royal Wasteland Bank has set up ATM terminals throughout the wasteland, there are 7 total. These can be toggle on/off AND can be customized quite heavily. *Player needs that make your character hunger, thirst, tire, and need to excrete. The Player House Terminal, which allows you to customize this mod quite heavily, and to your personal taste. Everything slows down, everything loses it's color, and the world goes a bit blurry. Grenades and explosives now can shell-shock you. When you're lit on fire, you now cry out in pain and your screen is tinted a bright orange. More news on "Under" will be posted at a later date, when something concrete is formed. I still have lots of work to do for V8 still, as it needs DLC mods, (most likely) patches, and perhaps a Hardcore mode. It is likely the last version, as I am moving on to another, bigger project: "Under". If you want vanilla Fallout 3, then why are you looking for mods?įallout 3 Reborn V8 is the eighth version of the Reborn mods for Fallout 3. If you want high-damage weapons, player needs and other realism enhancing features, this mod is for you. If you are tired of guns that feel like pellet guns, this mod is for you. No more will you see an enemy shrug off a bullet to the brain. Intro: Fallout 3 Reborn V8 is a modification that aims at creating a more action-packed and intense Fallout experience. XHTML was published in 2000 to replace HTML by introducing stricter rules. In the same way, a website written in XHTML 1.1 would still be able to support web sockets. You can use CSS 3 with older versions of HTML as well.įeatures related to JavaScript, like web sockets. Styles available in CSS 3, like gradients. Note that you are not forced to use HTML 5 in order to use: The advantages of HTML 5 are the ability to use new tags, more expressive and meaningful than s, and to benefit from a few features added in HTML 5, like better support for forms (with validation of fields, etc.). Should I just stick with good ol' HTML 4 strict? I'm also worried about browser compatiablity of HTML5. However, I don't really see any advantages to using HTML5 over HTML 4 strict, as I won't be using any of it's features. It has supposedly been discontinued by W3C in favor of HTML 5. Overall XHTML appeals to me the most, but I'm scared about the implication of its use. Reading about various eBook formats (specifically EPUB), I learned that many of them use XHTML internally does this mean that if I use XHTML (correctly) the site might also be packaged and delivered as an EPUB in the future? The strictness and cleanliness of XHTML/ XML also appeals to me greatly. Can XHTML or HTML5 hurt me in this regard? It is a likely that people who are not especially internet-savvy will visit the site due to its content, and as such I think it's very plausible for some of the visitors to have relatively old browsers. Should it be HTML 4.0 strict? XHTML 1.0 strict? Perhaps HTML5? I've been thinking on this matter for a while now and I can't decide what markup to use for such a project. The site should have a rather minimalistic design, but it will include a UI with some scripting and animations to make browsing the large documents easier. I'm about to begin working on a project which involves creating an eBook-like website which will contain lots of large documents with text and images. In mobile devices GPU is usually utilized by games, UI, video playback, etc. GPU is a graphical processing unit, which handles computation for 2D/3D graphics applications. It is measured in Megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz). The frequency of the processor describes its clock rate in cycles per second. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel. Presently, besides single-core processors, there are dual-core, quad-core, hexa-core and so on multi-core processors. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute.Ī CPU core is the processor unit, which executes software instructions. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. 64-bit CPUs provide better performance than 32-bit ones, which on their part perform better than 16-bit processors. The CPU bits are determined by the bit-size of the processor registers, address buses and data buses. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.Ĥx 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A55, 4x 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A55 The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU.ĬPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The SoC integrates different hardware components such as the CPU, GPU, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc., as well as software for their functioning. System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. A further development of the technology is called LTE Advanced. It has been developed by the 3GPP based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies in order to increase the speed and capacity of wireless data networks. LTE is deemed to be the fourth generation (4G) of mobile communications technology. It is developed as an alternative to the W-CDMA standard in China by the Chinese Academy of Telecomunications Technology, Datang Telecom and Siemens AG, and combines TDMA and CDMA. TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) is a 3G standard for mobile networks. The standard provides faster data transfer speeds and allows more users to connect to the network simultaneously. It is one of the three different UMTS interfaces together with the TD-SCDMA and the TD-CDMA. W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used by 3G mobile networks. It has been improved with the addition of General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and later via the Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) was developed to replace the analog cellular network (1G), therefore it is referred to as a 2G mobile network.

The combat is turn-based, there’s light platforming, a job system, a skill point system, sub-quests, and also a card game? Boy, there’s a lot to unpack.Īstria Ascending’s combat is one of its stronger points. Gameplay in Astria Ascending is a bit all over the place. A lot of the world's lore was also grazed over and barely explored. Overall, a story that had potential but was extremely non-compelling. The enemies encountered also seemed far too generic and had lackluster motives. It makes them seem non-humane and disconnected from each other's struggles as well as of the people of the land they're protecting. At one point, when someone close to one of the party members dies in front of them, none of them express any sorrow. Even worse, they end up throwing racist comments at one another, not even playful jabs, and these aren't even addressed by the other party members. I didn't really feel a sense of camaraderie between the party members either. In retrospect, it was pretty funny, but it’s a glaring issue that’s noticeable every time you head off into a fight. A character could say ‘Why?!’ and an enemy would have just been killed off. A lot of them were poorly matched to what was going on in battle. Not just the normal conversation between the characters, but also their phrases during battle. In addition, there were a number of inconsistencies with pronunciations of certain in-game names for characters and cities alike.Įventually, I switched to the Japanese voice acting to see if it was more bearable that way, and for a while it was, but it also made me realize that the translation was just too awkward. On the other hand, however, there was Dagmar, a beefy sorcerer who had the perfect gruffness to his voice for his sort of character. The demigods’ leader herself, Ulan, sounded the least leader-like and had zero conviction whatsoever in her voice, making it an absolute snooze to listen to. While the game gives you the option to choose between the Japanese and English voiceover, I like to usually stick with the English voiceover for video games. The second being the hit or mostly-miss voice acting. |
