The gameplay and combat are not much better, unfortunately. Other times, NPCs will have an emotional reaction to another character and then later talk to them as if the rocky interaction never occurred. I discovered several exchanges in which Aiden talks to another character, shares information, there’s a reaction appropriate to the discussion, and then not another conversation–with different words–occurs not one minute later covering the same information, with the NPC just as surprised as the first time they discussed it. Other issues related to storytelling involve continuity errors or repetition. Other side quests are the typical “go here, get me that” or “find me x of this” sort of exchange that many people are tired of at this point. ![]() I spent five minutes having the most inane conversation about a guy’s fish and Zen philosophy, which, while it certainly has the potential to serve as a whimsically farcical affair, was so trite and horribly delivered that I almost stopped the exchange in the middle of the sequence, which I never do in RPGs. Side quests are no better, with strangely bland, drawn-out dialogues that sometimes serve as the quest itself. ![]() Two characters left me with some inkling of feeling, but with the rest of the world in tatters–in terms of development, not setting–these relationships are stymied. I never felt like I was changing Villedor, and I certainly didn’t feel a significant connection to anyone I met. Sure, choosing one group over another and a few other choices technically change the window dressing, but the end game is the same, and the experience is equally dull, littered with a whole host of other problems. One of Dying Light 2’s selling points is that the player’s decisions shape the world. Rest assured, no matter which faction you choose, the story is bland and linear. To find more information on his sister, he must work to assist those in plight, which serves as adequate justification for the central campaign of choosing allegiances between two different groups: freedom seekers and a more militaristic outfit. ![]() He gets word that his long-lost sister who was also experimented on might still be alive in Villedor, where our story takes place.Īiden meets various people and factions constantly on the verge of starvation and home insecurity as the relentless undead makes survival an endless challenge. Aiden’s a pilgrim: a person who travels nomadically outside of the walls of any city. Having collapsed, the world has one known “bastion,” if you could even call it that, in which the last vestiges of humanity allegedly reside. Unfortunately, for anyone keeping up with the news since its inception, the turbulent development cycle at Techland did not bode well for the game, and the final product is emblematic of just that.ĭying Light 2 follows Aiden, a survivor of childhood experiments under the research of GRE, an organization faulted for the current zombie outbreak. So, of course, I couldn’t wait for Dying Light 2, especially since I loved the first title. ![]() Dying Light served as another dose for my addiction. The gore and horror are fun, sure, but what about the sociological implications? How would real people handle a zombie apocalypse? While this question’s been explored ad nauseam in cultures worldwide, I’m still hooked. Growing up at much-too-young an age to be watching zombie flicks, I love everything about them. ![]() The taxi system returns, where a cab will wait for you outside of a hospital or prison and will take you back to the starting point of the mission you just failed. Quick Trip allows you to skip the non-action driving sections of a mission, which is nice in theory though it isn't always available when you'd think it should be. The game includes the same "mission acceleration" options that we've seen in the past few games, namely Quick Trip and the taxis that await you after failing a mission. In other words, you'll have just as much fun flying down the streets of Vice City as you did the first time around. It's responsive yet wiley, fast and yet controllable, completely unrealistic and yet really damn fun. Vice City Stories brings with it the same driving physics system that we've seen slowly become refined since Grand Theft Auto III. It's somewhat odd that this seems to plague the PS2 version of the game significantly more than the PSP title. Fortunately, it's a little better than what we saw in Liberty City Stories as things generally don't just appear right in front of you, but it can still happen from time to time. ![]() Cars and pedestrians fade into view a couple hundred feet in front of you, and buildings and such pop into view as you drive forward. ![]() There's also a tiny bit less pop-in than before, which was a pretty big problem last time out, but it's still far from perfect. There's a little more detail to be seen in nearly every facet of the game - from the characters to vehicles to the environments, Vice City Stories is a more intricate looking title than the last title. It's certainly not perfect, as the game does chug a bit here and there, but we suppose that's the case with most games in the series. The framerate has been improved a bit, maybe not leaps and bounds on average, but it's a little steadier than last time out. As mentioned, Vice City Stories makes a number of technical improvements over what we saw with Liberty City Stories last year. Being able to swim this time out is nice, but we've seen that before and it really just feels like we're getting something back that we've already had. We suppose that'll have to wait for Grand Theft Auto IV, and we're more than willing to hold our breath, but it seems like this would be the perfect platform, literally and figuratively speaking, for some new experimentation. Sure, the handheld version was a big technical improvement over Liberty City Stories, but there's nothing substantially new to the series here and once again it comes off feeling weak on the PlayStation 2. In fact, after remembering our time with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, we can't help but feel that Vice City Stories isn't quite everything it could be.

![]() It takes all of the elements of a song and perfects each of them so that each part feels tailormade like a suit. This expresses the main sentiment of the song.Ī long lasting song is always more than just a hot riff or a groovy beat. ![]() This final section concludes the song with Bellamy’s refrain “I just wanted to hold you in my arms, I just wanted to hold”. At 3:27 backing vocals singing vowel sounds come in, building and building the song to it’s highest point before coming releasing the tension built in the final B section. This contradicts our expectations from listening to the previous C section. “Our hopes” section doesn’t drop and in fact builds higher. No new elements are introduced in the first 8 bars but the guitar follows the voice line briefly on “promise not to”, emphasising that line. The tempo lifts to 122.5 and the band digs in for the highest part of the song. This verse serves to prolong the wait before the C section returns at a higher intensity. The guitar line in verse 2 returns slightly modified and an octave lower. The intensity builds halfway through with backing vocals, 8th note synth chords and an 8th note snare pattern to build back up to the B section. The arpeggiator carries on through and a picked guitar comes up similar to that in the 2nd verse, linking the previous sections. The second part of the C section drops the intensity to it’s lowest in the song. There are synth arpeggiators in the background playing 32nd note chords in this part as a texture behind the main guitar The guitars play powerchords with a quick change on the ‘and’ of the fourth beat of every second bar. The drums change to a straight bash rhythm. Interestingly the song goes from the 2nd verse directly to the C section, likely because it would get too boring going to the B section before the C section. This change is not perceived consciously but increases the intensity of the song. The tempo in this section rises 1bpm to 122.5 bpm. There is a key change to the relative minor and a new extended harmony. Muse delivers this in what I term the C section but could equally be called a bridge. C section (8 bars + 24 bars)Īfter a minute and a half of music with little fluctuation a change is due. The line “Let’s conspire to reignite / All the souls that would die just to feel alive” alludes to the explosion in the next section. Adding an element to the second verse is a common device used by songwriters to keep interest in the song. There is however a new picked guitar line outlining the I ii vi IV harmony. Not much new here that we haven’t seen before in the 1st verse. I decided to call this a B section rather than a chorus as it is very similar to the verse in harmony and instrumentation. This is actually the same harmony and instrumentation as the intro but with lyrics. This helps to glue the two parts together. The bass harmony stays the same and the bass and vocal line move in similar motion for much of the verse. The drum beat pattern is lengthened by a factor of two, probably to give variation to the original pattern and to put the focus on the song lyrics and away from the drums (figure 2). Matthew Bellamy enters the verse and the piano drops out. After four bars the piano countermelody, doubled faintly by a glockenspiel or similar instrument. The levels of the snare are raised above the rest of the drum kit and the snare consistently lags slightly behind the 2 and 4 beat to give a laid back feel. The simple snare drum pattern forms a main hook in the song (figure 1). The sequence ends with a plagal cadence further weakening the progression. The progression itself is relatively weak as it avoids the dominant throughout and finishes with a plagal cadence. A distorted bass outlines a harmony of I ii vi IV in B major which will continue for 90 seconds. This indicates the lengths that Muse has gone in preproduction to find the perfect tempo. The song begins with a distorted bass and drums at a tempo of 121.5. In interviews they have said that the song is “a love song about missing someone you love, including family and friends Intro (12 bars) ![]() Starlight was written by Matthew Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse after renting a boat to go fishing in bad weather and feeling sick back in their motel. ![]() ![]() All you need to do is select which type matches your requirements so that choosing the best one for you is a doddle.īy the way, our site is supported by visitors like you.

The amount of weed killer products available to buy and the purpose they serve makes decision-making an arduous business and making the wrong purchase could result in not getting rid of the unwanted vegetation, or much worse, causing damage to healthy plants that you wanted to keep.
