![]() ![]() This didn't happen to this extent in earlier games. I died many a time because an enemy (or even a group of enemies) spawned like three paces away from me after veering to close to the edge of the arena during a fight. This includes kamikazes, which just sucks. Many times, enemies will attack you from all sides and spawn right near you. Those orange guys make very little sound and are often just suddenly there, attacking you from behind. You can hear the kleers, kamikazes and bulls comming from a mile away. The Enemies: normally, enemies that charge you make a very kleer sound (see what I did there?). The looks were clearly more important than the actual playabilty of the maps. I fired so many cannonballs at enemies standing right in front of me, just to launch them in the air because of a small bump in the terrain I couldn't see. I died quite a few times because I suddenly came up to a chunk of wall or a ditch that was placed there only to fill up the scenery. In SS4 the terrain is nearly never flat and filled with debris, ruined walls and boxes that can make running backwards (which is like 80% of the game) feel like an obstacle course. Many areas where just big squares but it worked, since most of the space could actually be used while playing. The Levels themselves: The original Sam games where all about the wide, open spaces where you could see the hordes of enemies comming at you from a distance, so you could plan and attack accordingly. All these things do is make the game more difficult and unclear, they have no plus. The abundant trees are even worse, they do the same thing, even during boss battles. ![]() I took quite a few rockets to the face during my playthrough, just because I couldn't see larger enemies that are farther away through the cloud of dust. And the dust, one of the least liked features of SS3 makes a return. It kinda reminded me of Black Mesa where they decided to put crates everywhere just to fill up the scenery, to the point it started impeding the gameplay. It really feels like a early acces or fan made game. Castle ruins are apparently filled with random boxes and concrete blocks. I mean, Rome apparently has like three statues they put everywhere on pedestals that have the same text on all sides. Here, many levels feel like they just slapped some assets on a map, many recycled from past titles, and called it a day. Enemies, enviroments, objects and so on all seemed to fit together pretty well. After finishing the game, I played through the first two levelsd of SS3 again, and what really jumps out is that that game had a (kinda bland and grey admittedly) overal atmosphere. The overal Design: Here's where I really think the game is just a step back. The lighting seems worse even, especially in those bland indoor areas. Unless you count the legion system, which is used for like 10 minutes in the whole game. Sure, assets are higher res but thats pretty much it. The Engine: No serious uplift in visual quality over SS3 or the Talos Principle. I was actually glad those bastards killed Kenny (pun intended). You would figure 9 years would have been enough to implement half decent facial animations and eyes, since Doom 3 already had those 16 friggin years ago, but no. I now understand why nearly all characters in SS3 had glasses on. Now they have him talking at length with shitty, empty side characters trying to explain a plot that doesn't matter in cutscenes so amateurish they take the tone of the whole game down (Serious Sam 2 anyone?). He had a comically gruff voice suited only to spewing one-liners. Old Sam was a cartoon, a caricature just like Duke Nukem, Lo Wang and Caleb from the Build era. You want a story? Here's some text you can read but absolutely don't need to to enjoy the game.' And now, after for some reason feeling like they needed to follow the general trends, we got this bland mess. Serious Sam was a game that said 'no need for that, we have guns, tons of enemies and one liners. A story just as an excuse to start shooting like in Doom or Duke Nukem was no longer enough. After the release of Half-Life all games suddenly needed a story, tons of scripted events and fleshed out characters. The beauty of the original Serious sam games was that they were so simple and all about the gameplay. ![]() I finished the game yesterday, and I'm seriously underwhelmed. ![]()

If we believe Wanda, then he’s not a random citizen playing a part (meaning, as she told Vision, she didn’t have him knock on the door in order to interrupt their conversation). Can she really just pretend he’s part of the “show,” part of their lives, like everyone else? How, exactly, Quicksilver ended up there may help ease her moral quandary. He’s entered her Westview, NJ bubble, and she knows he’s dead. ![]() How can she say “some things are forever” when she refuses to accept Vision’s death? Does she justify it because he wasn’t technically “alive”? Because he wasn’t ever human? If so, what does that mean for their relationship, their marriage, and for how she thinks of him in general? Vision is her husband, and if he’s not a living, breathing human, then he’s still sentient enough to pick up on her treatment of him as less than other humans.īut now she has to make that choice again, without any excuses. ![]() Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, and Elizabeth Olsen in “WandaVision” Courtesy of Disney+Īs Olsen delivers the line (rather beautifully, I must say), her revival of Vision is first and foremost in the audience’s mind. “And we can’t reverse death no matter how sad it makes us. We can’t rush aging just because it’s convenient,” she says, when the kids want to grow older to avoid the pain they feel right then. “I’m trying to tell you there are rules in life. “Fix dead.” Horrific dialogue aside, the confrontation forces Wanda to explain why rules matter - not just to her kids, but to herself. Billy and Tommy beg their mom to revive their day-old pet. Later, that rationalization gets her in trouble when Sparky dies. ![]() Vision protests, but she rationalizes her decision by saying Agnes already saw them age up (which, I must say, is one of the creepiest things I’ve ever witnessed). This week, she creates a dog collar out of thin air, right in front of Agnes. Since Episode 3, she’s been going along with inexplicable events (like her speedy pregnancy), but more recently she’s been asking others to go along with them, too. Wanda’s arc this week is all about rules. Episode 5 sets up quite a challenge, and it does so under the guise of a meaningless sitcom story. It’s the first time we’ve been allowed to really connect with the character, and while it’s arriving a bit late, the moment is nonetheless powerful. That kind of personal discomfort, that kind of nagging doubt in one’s own identity, it’s shattering, and Bettany conveys it with apt anguish. Now, not only does he know something is wrong with their world, he knows something is wrong with him. Wanda tries to calm him down, but it’s clear Vision’s disquieted state stems from his request long ago, before he died, when he made Wanda promise to let him rest in peace. “I can’t remember my life before Westview,” he shouts. Vision’s discoveries range from troubling to downright monstrous, all of which build to a heated confrontation at home, where he refuses to let the credits roll on their argument and instead takes to the air for a throwdown with his secretive wife. From there, Vision’s world continues to crack he can’t understand why Wanda is so cavalier with her powers around Agnes, and he forces his coworker Norm (Asif Ali) to break character and tell him how he’s really feeling. Only a few minutes pass before Auntie Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) is asking if she should “take it from the top,” after Vision rebukes his wife’s wishes for a babysitter. And it’s also what makes Episode 6 worth getting excited about.Īt first, it seems like “On a Very Special Episode…” is all but doing away with its sitcom set-up. ![]() These are the puzzle pieces MCU fans have been waiting (rather impatiently) to see click into place, and while rewarding their fan theories does a good episode make, Episode 5’s focus on Wanda is what makes the jam-packed plotting connect. There are sweet little callbacks, like Jimmy (Randall Park) bringing Darcy her long-awaited coffee, and major moments of clarity, like when we see security footage of Wanda stealing Vision’s corpse in order to reanimate it to her liking. There’s photos of baby and teen versions of Wanda and Vision. There’s the eerie opening titles that pay homage to “Family Ties,” a title that even taken on its face ties in to the familial twist at episode’s end. That’s a lot to process, and I’ll leave the bulk of it to my Easter Egg-spotting colleagues to sort through properly, but Episode 5 succeeds via an all-out informatory assault. ‘The Bear’ Season 2 Is a Better, Richer Second Course ![]() ![]() We're also changing arpeggio twice a bar, so make sure you have the fingerings remembered before you move up to higher speeds. We're using the original picking mechanic but with an added pull off to turn his into a 16th note pattern. ![]() The last musical example is more of an etude outlining a series of chords in the key of E minor. We actually need to add two more notes to these arpeggios in order to get the new picking mechanic to work giving us a Bm7 and A6 but for the purposes of improvisation we're still going to think of them as a Bm and A. The result is a rapid flurry of notes with minimal picking hand effort, though with speed comes issues with timing, so make sure you're not rushing and that you can play this comfortably to any speed.Įxercise 4 and 5 just apply this new picking mechanic to the Bm and A arpeggios we've already looked at. Still keeping to the triplet feel we're going to link 3 consecutive upstrokes with three consecutive downstrokes. Try to work this out without my help to really extend the principals of this lesson and really push yourself.Įxample 3 outlines a diminished 7 chord, though this time we're using a different picking mechanic. You could continue to outline arpeggios in the key of D as a workout here, so after the A you would have G, F#m, Em, D. ![]() Remember, when sweeping on the ascent, you should be focusing on pushing through he string so that each time you pluck one string the pick finishes resting on the next one ready to push through that string and repeat the motion.Įxample 2 uses the exact same mechanic as the previous example, but this time outlining an A major arpeggio. When I play this example you'll notice that I hammer onto the B string with a left hand tap when descending as that works well for me, but many players would opt to play this note with an upstroke. The first example here outlines a B minor triad arpeggio using the top three strings. You could base your workout on any progression, common ones include Pachelbel's Canon in D, The circle of 4ths, modulating 2 5 1s and even things like Jason Becker's Serrana. ![]() This is one of the best parts about sweep picking, as most of the time we're outlining arpeggios so it's easy enough to create an exercise which sounds highly musical. In part one in this mini series, we're going to look at simple three string patterns in the style of Malmsteen and Vai, then take that across a chord progression so we end up with a musical practice routine. ![]() Popularised in the early '80s by players like Malmsteen, the technique became an instant way of inserting rapid arpeggios into your playing and over the course of the next 30 years, players like Tony MacAlpine, Steve Vai, Jason Becker and metal players like Jeff Loomis all took the technique to the next imaginable level of technical demand and creativity, using it to forge a unique style within their playing. So let's dig in and try to fix some of the problems you may also have with this staple of modern metal guitar technique. I use sweep picking from time to time in my own guitar soloing, partly due to my Steve Vai influence, but it's certainly not a big part of my playing style in actual fact it would be far to say that I try to avoid it where possible because on a personal level I've always found the technique slightly tricky when compared to arpeggio alternatives (which is a trait Paul Gilbert isn't shy of either). Hello and welcome to another Metal Edge guitar lesson column, I've put it off as long as possible, but now it's time we take a look at that oh so dreaded shred guitar technique, sweep picking. ![]() ![]() The Building Supported Standard Series MRL offers additional capacities, speeds, and travel over the Self Supported models.
