![]() ![]() This first-person survival epic by Unknown Worlds Entertainment dumps you into the water with not a great white shark to watch out for, but an entire alien world full of monstrosities ready and able to swallow you whole. Without closure, the story becomes superficial, and it leaves the player feeling burned.Decades after Jaws cemented our cultural fear of the deep ocean, Subnautica emerges from Steam Early Access to fuel a new breed of underwater nightmares. In regards to the story, questions need to be answered, and unexplained events should not be left on the table. They should be harmonious with the adventure gameplay, creating an interactive system rather than being an excuse to impede progress. The survival mechanics, however, need to be reapproached. One has to deal with meaningless and tedious deaths as well as the constant annoyance of the “warper” enemies to do it, but the exotic landscapes, pleasant visuals, and sense of scale make the experience of exploration a positive one regardless. Ultimately, the exploration is fun, but everything else is a drag. Ensue another fetch quest where the player builds an escape ship, which, after using it to leave the planet, prompts a kicker that shows that the monster is apparently still in existence, telepathically revealing that it's "together" with the player somehow. Instead, the monster tasks you with a fetch quest to power a button, which, when pressed, inexplicably kills them. This sea monster could potentially explain everything the player wants to know: who are the aliens, where are they from, what were they doing with artifacts from Earth, why was the native fauna experiencing such accelerated evolutionary patterns, and etcetera. Eventually, the player finds the final base and meets an ancient, sentient sea monster who communicates by speaking to the player telepathically. The player, however, can be killed, and the end result is that they respawn at home or in their submarine and have to go back to where they were, meaning that death is simply a complete waste of time. All the while, they'll constantly be harassed by incredibly annoying enemies called "warpers", which teleport the player around (potentially into certain death) and which can't be killed. The player continues to find new alien bases, with each one delivering another bit of story exposition which usually creates more questions than it answers. From here, the gameplay becomes an utter chore, as the player is endlessly tasked with finding or creating another differently-coloured keycard to enter the next alien base, essentially making the gameplay analogous to 1993's Doom, except for the lack of shooting alien abominations. The player soon find that aliens have built several underwater bases on the planet which (conveniently) happen to be a facility for researching a cure to the alien bacterium. Eventually, the player discovers that they are infected with a deadly alien bacterium, which they need to cure. Unfortunately, the game quickly shows its lame side, as every single crewmember calling for help dies immediately before the player arrives. The survival mechanics work here, as they slowly draw the player out of the starting area's safety and present a clear path of progression. There's a sense of urgency, plot questions actually get answered, and becoming acquainted with the foreign environment is exciting. Immediately, they’re tasked with trying to survive as well as attempting to find other crash-landed crewmembers. The story begins with the player crash-landing on a planet almost completely covered in water. Despite this, an exotic world to investigate, combined with a pleasant graphical style, offers an enjoyable, if somewhat rudimentary, experience in exploration. A story which creates questions, provokes thought, and presents outrageous implications is ultimately anticlimactic, with the metaphorical key which could explain everything just being idly thrown away as if it were nothing. While this does work well in the early game, it quickly becomes a chore when the story opens up, with the player being perpetually inconvenienced with the trifling tasks of collecting food, water, and resources after they've long stopped caring. Subnautica takes mechanics from the survival genre and incorporates them into the core gameplay of an adventure game. ![]() This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. ![]()

![]() Affleck’s expression is unnervingly inscrutable, which could be the right answer in a certain context: People tend to be relatively poker-faced in real life. ![]() He stares down from an upper window, catching her eye, and in this exchange, we are supposed to conclude … what? That he’s OK with it? That seeing her with another man turns him on? That Melinda is daring him to react? Maybe even all of the above. But where is the line? And what is Vic thinking when he catches Melinda making out with handsome idiot Joel (Brendan C. Their evenings are a succession of parties at friends’ houses, at which she inevitably drinks too much and crosses the line. Vic retired early, comfortably rich, and now serves as a house husband, taking care of their daughter (Grace Jenkins) while Melinda amuses herself on the town. But most husbands don’t give their wives permission to consort with whomever they please, so long as they agree not to tear the family apart - which happens to be the deal in “Deep Water.” Most husbands would probably have a similar reaction. As Vic, Ben Affleck looks grizzled and angry for most of the film, glowering at Melinda from across the room at dinner parties as she brazenly flirts with other men. They have what’s sometimes referred to as an “understanding.” The problem is, we don’t understand it. Much of this could have been solved rather simply, by including a conversation - or better yet, an argument - between Vic and Melinda in which the couple hash out the rules of their arrangement. Elegant as ever - to a fault - plot-centric Lyne seems more concerned with how things happen than why they do. Ripley” writer’s grounded sense of psychology, putting his emphasis instead on suspense - well, that and snails, which occupy a surprising amount of the movie’s attention (but more on that in a minute). But it turns out the filmmaker lacks the “Talented Mr. In terms of material, Lyne’s sensibility would seem an ideal fit with Highsmith’s, given their shared preoccupation with jealousy and illicit desire. Films like “Gone Girl” and “Fifty Shades of Grey” are nothing if not knockoffs of the classic Lyne aesthetic (which treats sex more seriously than its softcore competition), pushing the envelope farther than the director is willing to go with this particular project. Late last century, Lyne had a long, successful run of portraying complex sexual dynamics through grown-up eyes, but it’s been 20 years since “Unfaithful” - he spent two decades fighting to get this film off the ground - and the now-octogenarian helmer’s influence on subsequent sizzlers has undermined his own capacity to shock. This erotic thriller is still sexy and plenty entertaining, mind you, but it’s just not very useful insofar as what it says about real relationships. ![]() Vic ( Ben Affleck) and Melinda ( Ana de Armas) have an open marriage, but her … distractions have a habit of disappearing, and so do pretty much all ties to recognizable human behavior in the “Fatal Attraction” director’s unexpectedly coolheaded adaptation of the 1957 Patricia Highsmith novel for Hulu. ![]() The show began in 1986 and since then only one character remains the one and only Charlie Fairhead played by Derek Thompson.There’s something missing from Adrian Lyne’s “ Deep Water,” and it’s not just the body of Martin McRae, the last unfortunate rival to get a little too friendly with Vic Van Allen’s wife.

![]() ![]() ![]() Fifth Harmony’s first Top 40 hit on the Hot 100 chart, “Sledgehammer” becomes more impactful with each repeated listen. The springy account of lovesickness, co-written by Meghan Trainor, fires on all cylinders, with vocal hooks blossoming from every corner of the song and a bridge that brilliantly breaks down in tempo to capture the singers’ collective sense of yearning. Dre beats and Kanye-versus-Ray J don’t stand the test of time, the 5H brand of confidence - buoyed by a boisterous trumpet swing - surely will.įifth Harmony worked for years toward a spotless pop single, and with “Sledgehammer,” the ladies found it. The album’s first single is packed with pop-culture references and brimming with female assertiveness even if nods to the nae nae, Dr. Despite the many spinning plates, “Top Down” never becomes incoherent and makes one want to visit Electric City on multiple occasions. “Top Down” – An elastic synth riff serves as the foundation for the giddy pile-up of “Top Down,” which includes tottering beats, a “Problem”-esque horn riff in the hook, PG-rated rhymes and united crooning on the chorus behind looped yelps worthy of DJ Mustard. ![]() Which songs on Reflection are the most worthy of replays? Check out our track-by-track take on Fifth Harmony’s debut.ġ. How Fifth Harmony is Taking on Girl-Group Norms, Patriarchy and Rude Exes Reflection represents a promising first step for a girl group that has long been awaiting stardom and has quickly established itself as a wrecking crew of positive role models. Even when a song doesn’t come together, Fifth Harmony’s identity never falls apart. Working with a long list of songwriters and producers, Fifth Harmony show that they are capable of slick synth-pop, grungy hip-hop and fluttering R&B, the latter clearly indebted to the girl groups of the ’90s. On Reflection, Fifth Harmony is giving teen girls a soundtrack to impenetrable control, refracted through the image of five females who forever have each other’s backs.īest of all: Most of the songs work. There are male collaborators like Kid Ink and Tyga, but they are left to operate in the background, and even on languishing anthems like “Sledgehammer,” the pining for romance is never coupled with insecurity or weakness. Back-to-back songs on Reflection mention Instagram filters, and what Ally, Camila, Dinah, Lauren and Normani lack in pop experience, they make up for in smartly placed adulation of icons like Mariah Carey (“Like Mariah”) and Beyonce (the title track).Įxclusive Video: Watch Fifth Harmony Share Little-Known Secrets About Each Otherīut Fifth Harmony is also taking things one step further: the back half of Reflection is basically a misandrist constitution, with the 5H ladies brushing off lazy dudes on “Suga Mama,” game-players on “We Know” and the flight-before-fight bros on “Going Nowhere.” The run of songs is (for this male listener) spectacular to digest, since Fifth Harmony’s laser focus never wavers. ![]() Fifth Harmony echoes those sentiments, while also showcasing them from a younger perspective. Pop music is full of female artists offering healthy outlooks on issues like body image, sexuality, friendship and self-worth Rihanna has no time for male shenanigans, Katy Perry wants her fans to know that they are all fireworks, and Nicki Minaj spends more time objectifying men than getting fazed by them. ![]() ![]() ![]() However in a conversation with Faye, he admits to not want to die because of "the hate to." He considers he already died once therefore doesn't show the slightest fear of the possibility of being killed, often acts as if to challenge death, so to prove he is still alive. He appears to be tormented by the ghosts of his past and has frequent nightmares of his life in the Red Dragon. He usually behaves phlegmatically and walks slouching almost as if he is sleepwalking. However, there are exceptions in the movie, he becomes very excited when fighting Elektra, saying he loves the kind of woman who can kick his ass. Spike is rarely seen excited about something and, even less frequently, says he likes something. He is also a heavy smoker, being shown with a cigarette in his mouth in practically every shot. In a few rare occasions, he is also seen reading or practicing Jeet Kune Do, a martial arts practice he is very skilled in, being among other things passionate of Bruce Lee films. He passes the vast majority of his time on the Bebop lounging, watching TV, or sleeping. ![]() ![]() Spike is a slothful, listless, indifferent, and lazy person. ~ Spike and Vicious talk about their similarities Spike: I've bled all that kind of blood away. The same blood runs through both of us, the blood of a beast that wanders, hunting for the blood of others. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment Spike? His outfit consists of an all-blue suit and trousers with a yellow shirt underneath. He is usually dressed in a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III inspired boots. A flashback in Session 6 revealed that his fully functioning right eye was surgically replaced by a cybernetic one (although Spike himself may not have conscious recollection of the procedure since he claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident"). He has fluffy dark-green hair and reddish-brown eyes, one real and one artificial. Spike is 27 years-old and tall and thin in appearance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Probleme is sure now for me, it's coming from easy Anti Cheat programme and maybe from instability of nvidia drivers.įix ASAP please, it's realy boring for all of us crashing like this. Changing core from all to only 1 (crashing every 10 to 30mn) Changing priority of the process for Easy Anti Cheat to real time (crashing discord, but not The div 2.) Changing priority of the process for Easy Anti Cheat to low (crashing every ~5mn) In same time, always crashing randomly for The div 2 every ~30mn Played only with 1 screen open (crashing less, but crashing randomly) Force triple screen to 120Hz instead of 144Hz Benchmark (no crash), Prime95, FurMark, Heaven, UserBenchMark (Result here : ) Tested Lot of different drivers from nvidia Triple screen monitor G-Master GB2788HS at 144Hz Since 1 month, i managed to identify why with 970 i don't crash, and with 2070 (refunded) and 2080 crashing like the hell. Setting it to 60 or lower allows me to play for hours. I decided to see if I could run DX12 over 11 (it gives me a smaller CPU workload with better perfomance), ran the benchmark again and still average about 75FPS so kept my frame limit at 60, NO vsync, yes Gsync and just finished up 2 straight hours with no issue.Įdit: System specs: Gigabyte Z290 itx, i7-9700k OC 4.9GHz all cores, 16gig 3600MHZ G.Skill ram, EVGA RTX 2060 (currently stock but with the potential fix I am going to try and put it back on the 120mhz OC I did have it on with no issue with any other game)Įdit 2: After more testing I could use my EVGA OC on my gpu but it seems that any frame limit over 60 causes a crash. Up until this point I couldn't even get the game to save in the white house. So running DX11 I ran the benchmark a few times, bouncing between 74-77FPS, so I set my frame limit to 60, NO vsync (G-Sync is enabled tho) and BAM, played for an hour straight no issue. Someone here I think mentioned frame limit seeming to help some. Disabling all the overlays (uPlay, nvidia, Windows game bar), and setting Easy Cheat affinity to just 1 core only seemed to push the crash to the later end of 10 minutes.

He wants to experience that every day, so he proposes that they take tomorrow’s night train and leave Akiba behind together. He had been worn out emotionally from his job (as an assassin) but at Oinky Doink Ranko gave him a place of peace and solace. He’s as upfront and earnest as she is, and loves the stoic way she talks.

While Nagomi wants to cheer Ranko on, she’s opposed in principle due to the danger involved. It’s in this context that we watch Ranko, finally finding someone she likes, and who likes her, in Suehiro. But while forbidding maids and masters from dating is a matter of professional boundaries, in this mobbed-up Akiba, a maid falling in love can lead to disownment, even death. “Romance is a no-no”, it’s right there in the opening theme. ![]() |
