If we did a multiplayer component it would be suitable to the IP, which it obviously is. "But for budgeting reasons and planning reasons it didn't happen. "We definitely looked at doing a multiplayer component to Just Cause 2," he revealed. This article contained embedded media which can no longer be displayed. If we had done it it would have been more planned - Avalanche Studios boss Christofer Sundberg. What the guys have done with the multiplayer mod is fantastic, and it completely came out of left field. It's still in beta, but that hasn't stopped more than 10,000 people from registering on the mod's forum - and Sundberg is delighted by it. Just Cause 2 launched in 2010 to critical acclaim, and some believe it to be the best open world action game of this generation.īut it is the eye-catching 600-player multiplayer modification for Just Cause 2 that has done most to keep the series in the public eye. What we can offer to the genre is diversity, which very few other open world developers can." "Rockstar is more of a phenomenon than a competitor. "It's a very competitive genre," he admitted. "We are set on becoming the best open world developer," Avalanche boss Christofer Sundberg told Eurogamer in an exclusive interview. With Just Cause 3 heavily rumoured to be in the works for next generation consoles and PC, the privately owned independent developer has grown substantially and now has over 200 employees across studios in Stockholm and New York. hmmmm), and I'm yet to be convinced that that game is worth more than 5 or 6 hours of my time.Just Cause maker Avalanche Studios has set its sights on becoming the best open world developer. I was relegated to playing Darksiders (AMD plastered all over the place, and no problems. So I'm starting to wonder if my PhenomII + 5850 is causing some hick-ups with the gamepad.Īgain, the crappy Saitek pad worked-through the x360 emulator, but the buttons are shitty orientation. (is that not ridiculous?)Īnyway, I've noticed that nVidia is plastered everywhere on the load screens for this game. So it sees a gamepad, sometimes, it just doesn't want to play nice, the fucking bastard. tapping enter on the keyboard switches the request to "press enter," and I can navigate with the KB after that. It still seems that controller not working at all is kind of odd-if I plug it in after the game starts, it does ask me to "press the play button" on the main load screen, instead of "enter" (when it wants KB/M). For me, it just does not recognize this gamepad.ĭickscarf is a new steam member/account, but his downloading of the demo and copying/renaming/deleting of files did not work. I've deleted multiple JC2 save files (I only ever had one), but the fucker keeps remaking the save file when I reload the game-WTF? WHAT KIND OF DEVILRY IS THIS?įor must people, it seems to be wonky button mapping from time to time. ![]() uninstalled and re-installed the gamepad. I've uninstalled and reinstalled JC2, no fix. Well, steam won't let me download the demo b/c I have hte full game. ![]() Then replacing that saved game name (from demo) with a name for the save file in the complete game, as the demo has no problems. People have suggested downloading the demo, playing that and saving a game. It appears that there are various issues concerning JC2, steam, and the x360 game pad. (They were originally in the Darksiders folder, I moved them over to JC2 when I got that-so taking them out of Darksiders hadn't affected that game in any way.) Those files were in the JC2 folder, so I just pulled them out of there and deleted. I had the x360 ce emulator, which I uninstalled and CCleaner to remove remnants. I popped it in, downloaded and installed drivers (Win7 64bit) and.JC2 does not recognize the pad, at all.ĭarksiders recognizes it. I didn't want to bump the Square Steam week sale thread, so I started this one. ![]() ![]() And when the time is right, they make their move by exhibiting a behavior called collapsing. Shoebills can stand motionless for hours, waiting for the perfect moment to catch their prey. Just their clog-like beak, alone, measures a foot long and nearly half a foot wide.īut if you came upon a shoebill, there's a good chance you'd be intimidated not only by the size but the fact that they don't move. They can reach up to five-feet high with an eight-foot wingspan, making them fairly intimidating. Thanks to their stature, they truly are kings of their environment. Their thin legs with large feet give them the ability to wade through the vegetation of swamps and marshes from Ethiopia to Zambia. Shoebills are hunted as food in some places, and in others, they're hunted because they’re considered a bad omen.The shoebill's natural habitat is the swamps of eastern Africa. Agricultural burning and pollution from the oil industry and tanneries also affect their habitats. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimates that there are only between 3,300 and 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world, and the population is going down.Īs land is cleared for pasture, habitat loss is a major threat, and sometimes cattle will trample on nests. Only one chick typically survives to fledge. ![]() ![]() Chicks have bluish-gray down covering their bodies and a lighter colored bill. This includes incubating and turning eggs, and cooling them with water they bring to the nest in their large bills. Females lay an average of two eggs at the end of the rainy season.Īs co-parents, both birds tend to the eggs and young. Breeding pairs build nests on water or on floating vegetation, and can be up to eight feet wide. These birds are very solitary in nature, though, and even mating pairs will feed at opposite sides of their territory. Shoebills reach maturity at three to four years old, and breeding pairs are monogamous. Chicks sometimes make hiccup-like sounds when they’re hungry. They keep cool with a technique called gular fluttering-vibrating the throat muscles to dissipate heat. Though they’re mainly silent, shoebills sometimes engage in bill-clattering, a sound made as a greeting and during nesting. They do share traits with storks and herons, like the long necks and legs characteristic of wading birds, though their closest relatives are the pelicans. Shoebills are in a family all their own, though they were once classified as storks. The birds practice a hunting technique called “collapsing,” which involves lunging or falling forward on their prey. Shoebills can stay motionless for hours, so when a hapless lungfish comes up for air, it might not notice this lethal prehistoric-looking bird looming until it’s too late. They also have long, thin legs with large feet that are ideal for walking on the vegetation in the freshwater marshes and swamps they inhabit in East Africa, from Ethiopia and South Sudan to Zambia. Reaching up to five feet tall with an eight-foot wingspan, shoebills have yellow eyes, gray feathers, white bellies, and a small feathered crest on the back of their heads. It even snacks on baby crocodiles and Nile monitor lizards.Īt first glance, shoebills don’t seem like they could be ambush predators. Its specialized bill allows the shoebill to grab large prey, including lungfish, tilapia, eels, and snakes. Tan with brown splotches, it's five inches wide and has sharp edges and a sharp hook on the end. What makes the aptly named shoebill so unique is its foot-long bill that resembles a Dutch clog. Current Population Trend: Decreasing What is a shoebill?ĭepending on your perspective, a shoebill either has the same goofy charm as the long-lost dodo or it looks like it might go on the attack any moment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).Īdditional cancellation terms: Where Additional Terms and Conditions of Sale are applicable to any product or service you have ordered from us, these may also govern your cancellation rights and you should review these carefully ĭamaged or incorrectly supplied products: You should check all products you receive against your order.

The bars are a delicious choice for people looking for a snack bar because they come in a variety of varieties like chocolate chips, peanut butter, and s’mores. The mix of whole grains, oats, and clusters in Kudos Bars gives the bars a distinctive texture that is simultaneously chewy, brittle, and crispy. Granola bars under the Kudos Bars name are distinguished by their distinctive tastes and textures. People can only speculate as to whether this move indicates there are plans to re-release another iteration of the product or if they simply did it to prevent someone else from leveraging the popularity of the product for their own gain. READ MORE: Ice Cube Candy (History, Marketing & Flavors) The phrase “It’s tomorrow’s food, today” was also included. Above the new bars was an image of pyrotechnics from Mars’ initial advertisement. The bar on the package could be seen in both designs. With the same typeface and brown characters on a yellow backdrop, the name was displayed. ![]() Depending on the flavor of the bar, the name’s hue would vary. The name was written in a cursive typeface on the initial Kudos Bars logo. Additionally, Kudos and Star Wars worked together to include movie figures on some of the granola packs. Rain gauges, boxes, bags, and antique wrappers are a few valuable things that could be collected and were also offered by Mars alongside the Kudos Bars. A 30-bar variety box was the 2011 offering. The bar was initially distributed in cardboard packs of six. While the taste of the M&M’s Minis in the Snickers was comparable, peanuts were used instead. M&M chocolates in tiny form were pressed onto the top of Kudos Bars. There was less chocolate in them than in the initial bar. The snack’s appearance and form were altered in 2011 to a more conventional rectangle. Kudos Bars were square, as opposed to the flat structure of the majority of cereal bars. The initial Kudos Bars were wrapped in white paper and resembled candy bars. In the iconic “ Kudos, I’m Yours!” Kudos were portrayed in a television commercial as the perfect food to invigorate a tennis match or spur a Little League grand slam. In a commercial, Mars showed granola bars being munched on by individuals of all ages. The variant that was available from 2011 to somewhere around 2017 included smaller cookies with just 0.83 ounces each and 100 calories. In this iteration, the treats were mixed with other Mars snacks, and the complete confectionery covering was replaced with a chocolate drizzle. READ MORE: Canadian Chocolate Bars - Rich and Smooth Sweet TreatsĪ fresh iteration of the bar debuted in 2011. This was likely done at least in part in reaction to complaints that the original snacks were far from the kind of nutritious food that the term “granola” suggested. They debuted “ Simply Kudos” in 1993, which are 100-calorie variants of the cookies without the chocolate coating. The chocolate chip bar had 180 calories and 1.25 ounces when Kudos cereal bars were first offered in the 1980s. Seven different types of Kudos Bars flavors were offered by 1990. There has never been any indication that Kudos will make a comeback. Many believe the cancellation was caused by granola bars losing popularity in favor of other nutritious meals. Despite having a sizable following, Mars removed Kudos from the market in 2017. They had 20% more peanuts and more calcium. Kudos also promoted the health benefits of its new products. Kudos’ updated design made it appear more like a granola bar than a candy bar. The cereal on top of each cookie was drizzled with chocolate. ![]() Instead, they had a cocoa-underlying layer and granola on top. The milk chocolate coating on the bars had been removed. Kudos was reintroduced in 2011 with new tastes and a fresh appearance. Snickers, M&Ms, and Dove candies were some of the brands that collaborated. Later, the business merged the granola bars with some of its well-liked confectionery bars. The initial varieties of Kudos were peanut butter, chocolate chip, and nutty fudge. Mars was able to grow its market share and enter the cereal and confectionery industries thanks to the product. In the 1990s and 2000s, when multigrain cookies were viewed as a healthy snack, Kudos ruled the market. They had a chewy texture and a nice mix of sweetness and flavor, and they came in a range of varieties like chocolate chip and peanut butter. The cookies were promoted as a healthy and practical food choice and were made from whole-grain oats and other natural components. The bars had a thick layer of chocolate covering them. It was marketed as a granola snack with a candy-like flavor that was healthy. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Outcast Engineer is Bardin’s DLC career, giving the dwarf another ranged class. C Tier – Below Average Vermintide 2 Classes 17. Although she isn’t as bad as Huntsman, she is one of the weakest on our Vermintide 2 classes tier list. While some talents can make Pyromancer work, she is still fragile, and we recommend avoiding this career path. Her career skill has terrible tracking, and the skull can bounce off terrain, often melting one enemy before flying off into the skybox. This then shifts her to melee, but this career’s talents focus on range, which is very counterintuitive. While the extra critical chance is nice, she can’t perform ranged attacks while overheating, making that critical chance go to waste if you’re trying to maintain it. Pyromancer struggles to do well because staying at a high overcharge is extremely difficult and oftentimes dangerous. Her career skill is The Burning Head, which unleashes a flaming skull that seeks out nearby foes. The Pyromancer’s gameplay style focuses on gaining high overcharge to boost critical chance with the Critical Mass passive, which gives her a 6% crit chance per 6 overcharge, up to 30%. Even Huntsman has more perks than the Pyromancer. Pyromancer has the least amount of buffs or passives in the game. It is a weak attempt at making a range-first version of the Bright Wizard’s power. Sienna’s second career is the Pyromancer. Huntsman’s selfish hitman-like gameplay flow isn’t on par with the other ranged classes. Huntsman provides no team support, and the entire talent tree reinforces saving ammo and gaining extra crit chance or other buffs for landing headshots. If there’s one class to avoid on this tier list, it’s Huntsman. His career skill is Hunter’s Prowl, which turns Kruber invisible and lowers his movement speed, making the next shot not consume ammo while gaining increased reload speed and extra damage on his next shot. ![]() ![]() Huntsman’s passive is Waste Not, Want Not, which recovers one ammunition if you land a ranged headshot. Huntsman’s gameplay revolves around saving ammunition, having double the effective range for guns, and rewarding consistent headshots. Huntsman is Markus Kruber’s ranged-focused class, proving to be the worst class in this Vermintide 2-tier list. Wrapping Up Our Vermintide 2 Classes Tier List D Tier – The Worst Vermintide 2 Classes on Our Tier List 19. Let’s begin our Vermintide 2 classes tier list! Despite our rankings, any class can perform well based on the player’s skill level and the weapon choices the user makes, so even if your favorite class is low on the tier list, you can still actively succeed while using them. Disclaimer for our Vermintide 2 Tier Listīefore we begin our Vermintide 2 tier list, we must clarify that we are ranking these classes based on how they perform between Champion and Legend difficulty. We will rank all available classes from worst to best for this Vermintide 2 tier list. Unfortunately, Sienna’s fourth career has not been showcased even as Darktide is quickly approaching its release date. As of 2023, we have 19 different careers across five characters. In Vermintide 2, every character has three default classes and an extra DLC class. Vermintide 2 follows the Ubersreik 5 as they march and cut through hordes of Skaven, Chaos, and other monstrosities to save what’s left of their world during The End Times. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a groundbreaking hack-and-slash game that revolutionizes horde-based first-person melee combat. ![]() ![]() Needs in the State of Florida and nationally.
