While Valve promised to keep the mechanics of the game itself will stay exactly as they were, the addition of over 100 achievements, 'cinematic' death shots, a redesigned scoreboard overflowing with information, not to mention persistent player stats and a domination/revenge system - all of which we've seen before in other titles - Counter-Strike veterans are creating something of a fuss. If you've spent more than five minutes with TF2, you'll find it hard to understand why everyone's in such a tizzy. Achievements are frivolous tasks that any veteran will have accomplished donkey's ago (plant 100 bombs, kill 500 enemies with the high-explosive grenade, win in less than 30 seconds, and so on), they don't get in the way of the game. They're a bit of harmless fun, the sort of thing that entertains casual players and can be ignored by everyone else. The 'cinematic death camera' is long overdue. Panning back to see yourself slump to the ground before getting a demeaning close-up of your killer has been an integral part of both Day of Defeat and TF2 (where it is used in conjunction with taunts for comedic effect), and in Counter-Strike can only help people learn from each other and identify cheats. The clutter on the scoreboard takes some getting used to, but if players had ever set foot in other games they'd quickly realise it's standard fare for any title that preserves match data for rankings. And the domination/revenge system, where getting killed repeatedly by the same opponent, will result in you being humiliated and under pressure to even the score can only bring out the best in even the most timid players. Nobody wants to be flagged as someone's bitch.
It's true this upgrade has brought genuine problems.
The code change included numerous bugs, though Valve have already fixed most of them, releasing a succession of updates addressing the most reported issues. The beauty of Steam is that everyone gets the same updates automatically.īut therein lies the biggest problem of all. Cast also includes Aamir Khan, Zarina Wahab, Vikrant Massey and Ridhima Sud, among others.Every Source player is effectively on a roller coaster ride, unable to opt out of Valve's timetable for changes and is totally reliant on them plugging the holes they make along the way.
I was impressed by this underrated film and found it to be just about perfect. The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar, and both give credible performances. Rahul Bose plays Ayesha's husband, and does a fine job with varying emotions. Both Singh and Shah are also convincing in their roles. I had previously only seen Chopra in the rom-com setting, and was pleasantly surprised by her ability to play a deeper role.
Kapoor gives a stellar performance as the tightly-strung, controlling father. It is, instead, a serious drama about family dynamics, expectations, and acceptance. This is not a lighthearted movie, though it does contain some humor and romance. During the voyage, the siblings both go against their parents wishes in matters of love, creating more discord in their family. In addition, their marriage is less than successful. Kamal is overbearing, and both parents are strictly traditional, as well as worrying about what others think of their family. Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) and Kabir (Ranveer Singh) join friends and family on a cruise to celebrate the 30th wedding anniversary of their parents Kamal (Anil Kapoor ) and Neelam (Shefali Shah).
