![]() And the beach is much more appealing to me than the forest in DKC 3. Actually a lot of your issues about being bland and not memorable I feel about DKC 3 personally, the worlds there feel dull and lackluster to me. So yeah, I can’t say these issues about the beach really resonate with me, since I feel the opposite about most of them. And I was actually thinking when I replayed this of how beautiful the rocket barrel level looked, with distant islands in a wide open sea and a blue sky. A lot of the levels were also really distinctive to me, I have vivid memories of the sand dunes, the ships, riding on a whale through the ocean, being chased by Squiddicus, the crashing tidal waves, etc. It’s probably one of the most natural worlds in DK imo. ![]() I don’t really get the “natural” issue, it’s sandy and rocky beaches with lots of water and animals. I do disagree a lot with this, since it’s one of my favorite worlds in the series. I hope this gave you a good insight on how I feel about these worlds' placements. DKC2 only gets good when reaching Krem Quay and even then, it only slowly builds up. A bland volcano environment with long, dreadful levels *cough* Crocodile Cauldron *cough* doesn't give that same feeling. A lush forest with riverbanks and mills - this seems fun. This is perhaps why I found DKC3 to be the overall best experience of a Donkey Kong game at first, since the second world immediately caught my full attention. games, since they also look bland and plain boring and are stupidly placed at the beginning of the game. I also get the exact same feeling from desert worlds in New Super Mario Bros. This beach world first invoked a feeling of bland game design when I first stumbled upon it. ![]() You see, when starting a new game, the most important part for developers is to make the worlds following the first world the most enjoyable, as they give the player a real taste of what the game is like. The only levels I praise for being good are Stormy Shore and Blowhole Bound, since these levels feature fun gimmicks at least. The Rocket Barrel level might be the worst setting I've seen so far for a Rocket Barrel level, and Tidal Terror gets annoying because of it's gimmick really quick. The first, second and fourth levels all feature very basic platforming and a long basic beach. ![]() There isn't a lot of nature - only deadly water below and blue sky above. The main reason is that I don't believe the setting is tropical enough for a Donkey Kong game. You may disagree on this, but I believe the Beach world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is the worst of any world in the Donkey Kong Country series. ![]()

DataOps refers to the process of improving the reliability and performance of your data through automation, reducing data silos, and fostering quicker, more fault-tolerant analytics. Over the past few years, more companies have been applying these concepts to data in the form of DataOps. In short, the goal of DevOps is to release more reliable and performant software through automation.

I tried reducing the angle of the pictures in the settings from 170 to 90 degrees but there is still that distortion. In fairness though, you get a LARGE portion of scenery in the pictures. I am not sure if the GoPro's have this much spherical distortion, but it is noticeable on the horizon when you take a distance shot. I only have one con to list with this ca Suggestion The only Con I could think to list so far is the fisheye abberation of the 170 degree lens. This is the one aspect of the camera which put it above the others in my mind. The GitUP 2 has a better processor than many of the other cameras on the market for the price. One feature I found about this camera which made me decide to buy it was the Sony CMOS processor which it uses to take the shot. The camera, however, is very customizable and I will try the custom settings out first since they may compensate for the lighting needed to shoot underwater, for example. The picture is great, and I thought I was going to need to order some filters for the camera to allow me to shoot underwater, or with different effects. I am super excited about these accessories and may do a review once they arrive. The waterproof case seems solid, and I ordered the wrist remote, the light, and the microphone accessories with mine. It is just like learning to navigate a new phone's menu's. However, after just a few days I have been getting around the menu just fine. I agree to some extent since the "other brand" has more buttons which make navigating easier. One remark people had was that it is hard to navigate the menus. I have never had a GoPro, but I have read many reviews about this camera before my purchase. You cannot beat the price and the features it will give you for it. It's the same size as the GoPro models, meaning that many of the aftermarket accessories will work with it. I like my GitUp and GoPro.!!!

The ruins of Ancient Egypt are rocket-resistant for the first four hours or so there's always an indestructible wall to duck behind for a breather, which kills whatever momentum the game tries to build. Even worse, the entire fast-and-loose gameplay concept Sam is built on doesn't work in rubble-strewn alleyways and half-collapsed buildings. To be fair, though, at least the classic levels play well-which can't be said for the Cairo half of the game.īy putting Sam in what is-geographic specificity aside-a war-torn Middle Eastern city, the developers have ensured that half their game is visually indistinguishable from 60% of the FPSs on the market. Whether the stone is new or weathered, Sam is still running around Egypt, blowing up Kamikazes and Harpies, making BFE feel more like a hi-res remake than a prequel. The second half of the game is at least an understandable mistake-clearly the developers thought that players would want to see some classic environments, but they don't seem to realize just how tedious this gets over a long series of similar levels. This choice in locales is an unmitigated disaster. The only purpose that the utterly inessential story serves is to set up the game's locales, namely war-torn Cairo and ruined, near-future versions of locales familiar to fans of the series. Although I can't be sure that there's anyone out there clamoring to see that storyline resolved, I'm certain that no one was asking to see the events directly Before the First Encounter, telling the story of how Sam got to the time machine he used to set up the rest of the series. While plot has never been the franchise's most important feature, up until now the games have been about Sam Stone traveling through the distant past, attempting to preemptively kill an alien named Mental who, prior to the events of the first game, destroyed the Earth.

This boast is the entirety of the game's design philosophy-there is literally nothing complex or modern about BFE, other than its stellar graphics. The game's tagline "No Cover, All Man" proudly announces the game's throwback status, as if designing a game requiring strategies that go beyond "backpedal quickly while shooting" is somehow an effeminate act.
