* IMPAHLA EMIKHULU PHAMBILI! UMA UNGAFUNI LESI SIQEPHU SICHITHWE BESE YEKA UKUFUNDA *

Ukwehlukaniswa:

Uma ubulokhu uhambisana ne- Inhlupheko nami emasontweni ambalwa edlule khona-ke uyazi ukuthi nginezikhalazo ezithile. Kuleli sonto kuye kwadingidwa ezimbalwa zezincane futhi imibuzo yami embalwa yaphendulwa. Okokuqala nokuphambili yilokho okwakuseBoulevard? Kulungile lesi siqephu samasonto siphendula lowo mbuzo ekuqaleni. Ngokusobala iBoulevard isiphenduke isisombululo esikhulu sonyawo, into ecace kakhulu uma ubheka emuva noma ngabe bebengakugqamisi ngaphambili. Simbona ethutha “indawo engenalutho” kaMaster futhi emiswa ngamaphoyisa kulolu hlelo. Ngesikhathi sihlangana simbona ebiza omunye uStrigori, efakazela ukuthi usengumdlali omkhulu empini ezayo. Lapho ayethutha khona ukungcola nokuthi kungani kungakaze kuchazwe, kepha okuchazwayo yi-wigi yakhe yokuganga, uhlobo. Omunye umbono wathi iwigi yakhe yahlangana nekhanda lakhe ngesikhathi soguquko kanti enye ukuthi wayengakuthandi ukuba nempandla (yize ukulahlekelwa isitho sangasese kubonakala ukuthi kwakungeyona inkinga enkulu). Njengoba sibonile ngokuhlangana namaphoyisa, iwigi yakhe iyaphuma abuyele emuva ayokuthatha. Mhlawumbe ngoba uBoulevard ubambelele engxenyeni enkulu yempilo yakhe yangaphambilini kufana nokuthi u-Eichorst ugqoka kanjani futhi nama-prosthetics ukumboza yena uStrigori. Noma mhlawumbe bacabanga ukuthi ubukeka esabisa ngokwengeziwe ngezinwele ezinde.

Kuleli sonto sibona ukufuna kuka-Eph noNora ikhambi kugcine kushaye into ecokeme njengoba behlola igciwane labo elisha. Njengoba kushiwo phambilini, bazama ukuthola indlela yokuthelela abangenwe yigciwane elizokwazi “ukwelapha” iStrigori. Ekuqaleni igciwane labo elisha libulala umninikhaya, kodwa umhloli wesibili wokuhlola uyasinda futhi atheleleke “ekwelapheni” kwakhe. Lesi siqephu siphela ngesethembiso sokuhlolwa kwezinsimu esiqeshini esilandelayo, okuyihlaya elikhulu. Le ntuthuko inkulu njengoba sinethemba lokuthi sizobona okuningi kusuka ku-Eph noNora emhlabathini ababambe iqhaza eziqephu ezizayo. Kuze kube manje kule sizini behlukanisiwe nomunye emisebenzini yabo yesayensi. Lesi siqephu besibukeka siphazamisekile ngomdlalo waso, noma ngabe besiveza abanye babalingisi. Sekukonke, wonke umuntu ubukeka ejabule ngokuthola ikhambi likaStrigori, noma ngubani, ngaphandle kukaZach ongokomzwelo okweqile.

YILOKHO! NGIYAWABIZA! Ngemuva kwesiqephu sesithathu sokubhekana nale ngane ngiyibiza. UZach uyacasula ngokomthetho kunoCarl wezinkathi zokuqala zika The Dead Ukuhamba! Kulungile, uZach ucasula kakhulu kunokuthi "Hlala Endlini" uCarl. Le bhola elincane le-psychotic lamahomoni libamba yonke into kakhulu. Okokuqala uzama ukugibela ibhasi eliya eQueens eyedwa ngoba ecabanga ukuthi unina uyamkhumbula. Ngifunga ukuthi isikhathi nabalingisi nabalaleli okufanele basichithe kule ngane sikhulu kakhulu. Ngemuva kokuzama ukubaleka ayobona umama wakhe uStrigori, omfuna noma kanjani, u-Eph unquma ukumletha kulebhu ukuze asize uZach ukuthi abone okwenzekayo eduze kwakhe. Ngemuva kokuchaza ukuthi u-Eph noNora bazama ukwenzani, u-Eph uzama ukuxhumana nendodana yakhe ngokumtshela indaba ngobaba wakhe. U-Eh kumele azithethelele ngoba uyabona ukuthi akakwazi ukuzihlanganisa nendodana yakhe. Ngokweqiniso angikwazi ukusola le ndoda ngokukhungathekiswa yilo msebenzi. Ngakho-ke uZach ulucubungula kanjani lonke lolu lwazi? Uphonsa ukulingana okukhulu bese eqala ukushaya yonke into angayithola ezandleni zakhe ezincane ebhodini. U-Eph uphendula ngokufuthelana efaka ubuso bukaZach esivimbelweni sepulasitiki phakathi kwabo nesihloko esivivinyiwe seStrigori.

Manje, lokhu kungabonakala njengesilinganiso esedlulele, kepha kuyadingeka impela njengoba uZach esakwazi ukwahlukanisa phakathi kukaStrigori nabantu selokhu umama wakhe waba munye. Ngifuna ukugqamisa ingxenye ethi "selokhu kwaba ngumama wakhe" yalowo musho wokugcina. Ngokusobala le ntuthuko ekupheleni kwesizini yokuqala iningi okumele yenziwe umuntu omusha, kepha umbukiso, kuze kube manje, awusingathe kahle. Ngicabanga ukuthi u-Eph ebeka uZach osondele engcupheni uzothemba ukuthi uzongena ekhanda lakhe. UNora usheshe amise u-Eph maphakathi nesifundo futhi kamuva athi "uma kukhulunywa ngonina" u-Eph akakwazi ukuwina. Lobu ubuthakathaka obukhulu beqembu, njengoba sazi ukuthi uMaster usevele ubeka uhlelo lwakhe lokuqondisa lobu buthakathaka ukuze ludlale noStrigori Kelly. Ngasekupheleni kwesiqephu, u-Eph wenza usongo kuMaster ngesihloko esivivinywayo ethi uzobulala uZach kanye naye ngaphambi kokuvumela omunye wabo abe yizilo. Ngabe ngiqamba amanga uma ngithi bengingethemba lokuthi uZach uzobulawa njengamanje.

Kuleli sonto sifunda nokuthile okukhulu ngo-Abrahama. Ngemuva kokumbona ekhipha iStrigori eyedwa, aqoqe izikelemu, bese enza isisombululo sokulahla iso, u-Abraham uyafa isikhashana. UNora usindisa impilo yakhe ngokushesha, kepha njengathi sonke, unelukuluku lokwazi ukuthi uFuck u-Abraham wayesenzani. Ngokusobala, u-Abraham ubelokhu esebenzisa izikelemu ngesisombululo sokwehla kwamehlo ukwelula impilo yakhe. Lokhu kuchaza izinto eziningi njengokuthi uneminyaka engama-94 futhi usengazibamba yini empini, kodwa futhi kuchaza nokuthi kungani ebambelele enhliziyweni yomkakhe sonke lesi sikhathi. Cishe wayesebenzisa izibungu ezisuka enhliziyweni yakhe ukwenza isisombululo sakhe. Le ntuthuko iyinhle, njengoba ikhombisa u-Abrahama njengendoda enamandla akhe amakhulu kakhulu ukuthi angamane alahle umphefumulo wakhe esihogweni kunokuba aphele ebudaleni. Usho ngisho yena uqobo ukuthi "uzobulala uMaster noma afe ngokuzama" kunokuba anikeze ukuguga. Nora futhi, uNora uthatha umthwalo ongokomzwelo wabo bonke abanye abantu futhi uthembisa ukugcina lokhu kuyimfihlo phakathi kwabo bobabili.

Isiqephu sangesonto eledlule sethule uJustine Feraldo “njengongenamali” uCongresswoman okuwukuphela kwesikhulu esiphezulu esifuna kubulawe uStrigori. Angizange ngiyigqamise ngesonto eledlule ngoba indawo yesehlakalo ibizizwa iphoqelekile futhi bekungekho okulandelwayo ngesimo sayo. Kuzwakale kungabalulekile okuvame ukwenzeka ngokufika okusha kule sizini (okufanayo kwenzeka ngokubuyiswa kabusha kukaReggie). Yebo, kuleli sonto sibona uhlelo lwakhe lufezeka njengoba ememezela ukuthi iStaten Island ayinanhlobo yama-vampire futhi ilifakazela leli phuzu ngesigejane sikaStrigori onqunywe ikhanda njengoba kufakwe iHalloween. Ngemuva nje kwenkulumo yakhe evusa usinga, uMbusi umcela ukuthi enze into efanayo kulo lonke elaseNew York ebuza nje ukuthi kuzwakala sengathi bobabili beza necebo. Ngokwethembeka, ngiyamthanda umlingiswa wakhe lapho engazungezwe abaphathi bezikhundla abazama ukumthulisa noma ukumxhaphaza. Nginomuzwa wokuthi angangeza kakhulu ohlangothini lomuntu lwempi njengoba besidinga umuntu onamandla kwezepolitiki ngasohlangothini lwethu. Noma engazi ukuthi uyingxenye yeqembu, uyisengezo esihle. Ngiyethemba ukuthi benza okuningi ngaye nangomsebenzi wakhe eziwombeni ezizayo.

Kuleli sonto, sibona nokuthi uGus usetshenziswa kanjani empini njengoba sibuka ukuqeqeshwa kwakhe noStrigori “omuhle”. Ngesikhathi sokuqeqeshwa kwakhe ukhipha i-vampire esebenzisa izinhlamvu ezimbili. Ngokushesha uyabona ukuthi yilokho kuphela ayenikwe khona njengoba kuphuma owesibili. Uphoqeleka ukuthi asebenzise ukulwa ngezandla, ebhoboza futhi eluka ngaphansi kolimi. Usondela ngokushesha abambe ulimi lukaStrigori bese eqala ukulukhipha emzimbeni wakhe alubulale khona manjalo. Lokhu kubuyela emuva endaweni yokuqala yokuhlolwa kwesidumbu sokuqala lapho u-Eph evivinya ukuthi ulimi lude kangakanani kumshayeli ophendukile. Ngiyajabula ukuthi bakhombisa izindlela eziningi zokubulala iStrigori futhi lokhu kufanele kube ngenye yezindlela ezimbi kakhulu zokubabulala. Ngiyajabula futhi ngoGus nemfihlo “enhle” uStrigori aboniswa kakhulu, njengoba bekulokhu kuyizinto ezihehayo kulo mdlalo. Okuningi ku-Gus kulesi siqephu ku-Action Sequence yesigaba seviki.

Ulimi-I-Punch yeSonto:

 

Njengoba abantu sebekhaliphile futhi nempi iqhubeka nokuqhubeka sibona kuncipha izibhakela zolimi. Indoda Ngikhumbula izinsuku lapho kwakungumzabalazo wokukhetha ulimi oluhle kakhulu lweviki. Ngenhlanhla, sisathola okungenani isibhakela esihle njalo ngesonto. Leli sonto lifika kithi livela emaphoyiseni kuphela eNew York namanje angenalo nhlobo ulwazi ngokwenzekayo. Ngemuva kokuthi uBoulevard ebize enye iStrigori ukuthi izomsekela, elinye lamaphoyisa lishaywa ngolimi ngokushesha njengoba elwa nezibungu ezingena esandleni sakhe. Lesi sigcawu sihle njengoba sikhombisa ukuthi amaStrigori ahleleke futhi ashesha kangakanani ukugcwala lapho ebizwa. Futhi kuyisikhathi esidabukisayo saseStrigori futhi ukufakwa okwamukelekile kulesi siqephu samasonto.

Ukulandelana Okuhle Kakhulu Kwesonto:

Ukulandelana okuhle kakhulu kwalesi siqephu samasonto kuya ngokusobala kuPalmer Heist. Ngemuva kokubona uGus eziqeqesha, wenza uhlelo no “good” Strigori wokuthumba uPalmer. Ngemuva kokwenza ngempumelelo ikheshi eliya endlini ephezulu, bathola igumbi lingenalutho. Ukulandelana kudlala ngendlela yakudala ye-heist kusinikeza ikhefu elihle emdlalweni. UPalmer uphendulela ngokushesha isivikelo sakhe sasekhaya eStrigori, esigcwalisa igumbi ngama-UV lasers adudula iqembu lingene maphakathi negumbi. Uma sezibhajwe phakathi, phansi kunikeza egumbini elingaphansi amabhomu ahlasela amasosha amahlanu eStrigori anelambu le-UV kuze kube yilapho ekugcineni eshisa aze afe. UGus uyakwazi ukweqa, kepha lesi ngesinye isibonelo sezindlela ze-badass zokulwa neStrigori. Isimo sishubile impela njengoba amasosha elwela ukweqa ukukhanya. Lesi sigcawu sikhombisa ukuba wusizo kukaGus enjongweni yabo kanye neParanoia paranoia nabalingani bakhe baseStrigori.

Imicabango Yokugcina:

 

Isiqephu saleli sonto besigcwele idrama eningi nokwenza okuncane noma ukwethuka. Kusukela ekufuneni kweDashi isithandwa sakhe esidala kuya ku-Eph ebhekana nendodana yakhe ecasulayo kuya ekuvuseleleni kwamehlo kuka-Abraham, kwaba nentuthuko enkulu nabalingiswa. Imvamisa lokhu kuyadingeka embukisweni ogcwele udlame nezilo ezibulalayo, kepha lokhu kusabonakala kuyiphuzu elibuthakathaka lombukiso. Izici zedrama azilingani nekhwalithi yazo kusukela ezikhathini ezinhle zokukhula komlingiswa (u-Abraham elwa nokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe), ubudlelwano (i-Dutch ne-Fet), nezikhathi zokunika amandla (inkulumo kaFeraldo), kuya ezikhathini ezimbi ezizizwa ziphoqelekile (Zach), Izikhathi zokuqhamuka okungenanjongo (uFeraldo noMbusi) ukugcwalisa izigcawu ezinganwetshwanga esiqeshini (uReggie evakashele umfowabo). Kwesinye isikhathi kuba sengathi kunezindaba eziningi kakhulu ezixoxwayo kulo mdlalo futhi ubukhulu bukhulu kakhulu ukuba bangaziphatha, okuvimba lokho okwenza umbukiso ube mkhulu. Bachitha isikhathi esiningi kubalingiswa nobudlelwano okungagcini ngokuthakazelisa, beshiya okusebenzayo futhi kujabulise kulesi siqephu (uStrigori Kelly no-Feelers wakhe). Kuningi engikuthandayo ngalolu hlelo, kepha ngemuva kwamasonto amathathu ekhononda ngezinto ezifanayo kaninginingi, ngibona sengathi lezi kungaba yizinkinga ezingakaze zikhulunywe ngeqiniso.

Ubucabangani ngalesi siqephu? Ucabanga ukuthi uMax Charles uzokwazi ukubuyisa uZach endaweni ecasulayo? Uyavumelana nami noma ucabanga ukuthi nginephutha? Sazise emazwaneni futhi sizokubona ngesonto elizayo nge "The Silver Angel"!
