Isahluko 8 - Isayensi Nodlame | I-Borderlands: I-Pre-Sequel | NjengoClaptrap, Ukudlala, Ukudlala

I-Video game i-Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, umdlalo wokuqala wesibhamu osemdlalweni, ihlanganisa izindaba phakathi kwe-Borderlands yasekuqaleni kanye nomlandeli wayo, i-Borderlands 2. Yenziwe yi-2K Australia ngokubambisana ne-Gearbox Software, yakhishwa ngo-Okthoba 2014. Lo mdlalo utshela indaba ye-Handsome Jack, unobangela omubi ku-Borderlands 2, ethatha indawo e-Elpis, inyanga ye-Pandora, kanye nesikhungo somkhathi i-Hyperion. Iphinde ihlole ukuguquka kukaJack kusuka kumuntu ohlelayo we-Hyperion kuya ku-villain omkhulu. Lo mdlalo uhlinzeka ngokuqonda izizathu zakhe nezimo ezikhokelela ekubeni ngububi bakhe. I-Pre-Sequel igcina isitayela sobuciko se-cel-shaded kanye nokuhlekisa ngokwedlulele kwesichungechunge, kodwa yethula izindlela ezintsha zokudlala. Enye yezinto ezivelele yindawo engenawo amandla amakhulu enyanga, eshintsha kakhulu izimpi. Abadlali bangagxuma phezulu nangaphandle, bengeza isendlalelo esisha sokuhlaselwa kwezimpi. Ukwengezwa kwamathangi oksijini, noma ama- "Oz kits," akuhlinzeki nje abadlali nge-oksijini yokuphefumula emkhathini ongahlanzekile, kodwa futhi kwethula izibalo ezibalulekile, njengoba abadlali kufanele baphathe amazinga abo oksijini ngesikhathi sokuhlola nokulwa. Enye into eyengeziwe ekudlaleni yethulwa uhlobo olusha lomlilo wezinto, njengengqoko kanye nezibhamu ze-laser. Izibhamu zengqoko zivumela abadlali ukuthi bakhiphe izitha, ezingase zibe ziqhekekile ngokuhlaselwa okulandelayo, zengeze indlela eyengcongo yokuhlasela. Izibhamu ze-laser zinikeza ukufakwa okuzayo kwi-arsenal ehlukahlukene esele iyatholakala kubadlali, kuqhubekisa isiko lesichungechunge lokunikeza uhlu lwezikhali ezinezici ezikhethekile nemiphumela. I-Pre-Sequel inikeza abalingiswa abane abasha abazodlalwa, ngamunye anezihlahla zamakhono ezihlukile namakhono. U-Athena iGladiator, uWilhelm i-Enforcer, uNisha i-Lawbringer, kanye noClaptrap i-Fragtrap baletha izindlela ezihlukile zokudlala ezihambisana nezintandokazi ezahlukene zabadlali. U-Athena, isibonelo, usebenzisa isihlangu kokubili ukuhlasela nokuzivikela, kuyilapho uWilhelm angalethwa ama-drones ukusiza empini. Umsebenzi wokudlala ndawonye, okuyinto eyindabuko yochungechunge lwe-Borderlands, uhlala uyisici esibalulekile, uvumela abadlali abangafika kwabane ukuthi bahlangane futhi babhekane nezimfuno zomdlalo ndawonye. Ubumbano kanye nobugebengu bezikhathi zokudlala ndawonye bukhuphula umuzwa, njengoba abadlali basebenza ndawonye ukuze banqobe izinselelo ezethulwa imvelo yenyanga enobutha kanye nezitha eziningi abahlangana nazo. Ngokwendaba, i-Pre-Sequel ihlola izihloko zamandla, ukubola, kanye nokungabi nandaba kwezimilo zabalingiswa bayo. Ngokubeka abadlali ezicathulweni zabasolwa besikhathi esizayo, ibacela ukuthi bacabange ngobunzima bomhlaba we-Borderlands, lapho amaqhawe nabasolwa bevame ukuba izinhlangothi ezimbili zemali efanayo. Ukuhlekisa komdlalo, okugcwele izinkomba zamasiko kanye nokuphawula okunamahlaya, kunikeza ukukhululeka kuyilapho futhi kugxeka ukuganganyela kwamabhizinisi kanye nokubusa. I-Chapter 8, ethi "Science and Violence," kwi- *Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel*, ibonisa iphuzu elibalulekile nelimnyama, ibonisa ukwanda kokwesaba kanye nobunhlahla bomuntu ozozoba yi-Handsome Jack. Isahluko sihlangana ngokuhlakanipha ukuthunyelwa okubonakala kuvamile ngisho nokuhlekisa kanye nomphumela omubi owethusayo, eshiya umthelela omude kubadlali futhi sithuthukisa kakhulu isihloko esiyinhloko somdlalo sokwehla kwamaqhawe ekubeni nobubi. Isahluko siqala ngezicelo zabazingeli be-Vault yi-scientist ebizwa nge-Gladstone ukusindisa ozakwabo abathathu: uDkt. Langois, uDkt. Torres, noDkt. Grayson, abavalelwe egumbini le-Research and Development esikhungweni somkhathi i-Helios. U-Gladstone, ososayensi oqotho futhi ophazamisekile kancane, uveza ukukhathazeka okukhulu kososayensi bakhe, okubeka abadlali endleleni ekuqaleni ebhekwa njengochungechunge oluqondile lwezenzo zokuqha. Lokhu ukusethwa kuyinto evamile ye- *Borderlands*, kuhlanganisa umgomo ocacile nesithembiso sokulwa nokulotshwa. Ukuthunyelwa kokuqala kokusindisa kuhilela uDkt. Langois, umuntu okukhathazeka kwakhe okukhulu kuyisithombe somndeni asishiyayo. Lesi sicelo somuntu siqu futhi esiqondakalayo simenza abe ngumuntu. Um dlali uhamba ngezindawo ezinezilwane ezifana ne-Torks ne-Stalkers, ehlangabezana nezingozi ezivamile zomhlaba we-Borderlands. Ukutholwa kwesithombe kunikeza isikhashana sokukhululeka nokuzizwa kokuphumelela, kuqinisekiswa indima yomdlali njengomsindisi. Usosayensi wesibili, uDkt. Torres, ukhombisa umthamo wokuhlekisa okuyikhethekile kulo msebenzi. Ukusindiswa kwakhe kuncike ekubuyisweni kwebhere lakhe elilahlekile, into elula ebizayo ayibambelela kuyo ukuze azizwe enethezekile phakathi kobugebengu. Um dlali kufanele adlulise i-aquarium enkulu ukuze athole isilwane esigxumayo, umsebenzi ozwakala ungajwayekile futhi uyamangalisa. Lokhu kuthunyelwa kokuqala, ngokugxila ezinto zobudala ezizimele kanye nobuntu obungajwayelekile, kudala umuzwa wokuphep...
