Man that anime could get heart breaking at times.

Where I’m from, all the fancy hotels and restaurants get fully booked with couples. And the bars get filled with lonely people trying to find solace with each other. So I guess its a good pay day for many business owners. Yay?

Each of the weapons is a career on its own! Some shorter than others yes, but the depth each has just makes each one so rich and oozing with personality. Honestly, it feels like there are 14 subcultures in Monster Hunter, one for each weapon and each group is making their own in-jokes and memes.

Hopefully that weapon jives more with you. My concern with the beginner weapons or the suggested weapons is that they may not be a good match for the playstyle of the player. I know players that started out with some of the most complicated weapons in the game (Insect Glaive, Charge Blade, Heavy Bowgun) and managed…

Its not really hate, its more of a tepid reaction and mixed expectations. Some people were turned off by how raunchy the game could get. But Saints Row fans were disappointed on how it wasn’t raunchy enough. I think the association with Saints Row (from the marketing to forcing some Saints Row esque gameplay) really…

They haven’t really. The most noteworthy thing they have done is add Kinsey as a DLC character.

Damn straight! She just needed a better ultimate.

Agreed. A lot of the powers seem to be geared for combos but swapping between characters is clunky. In addition, coop campaign is criminally underserved and could have been a niche that the game fills in.

With Deviljho coming, I hope Tigrex gets patched into the game soon. With how single minded, no nonsense and relentless it could get, it was one of the most memorable/traumatic skill checks of the game. I want the new hunters to get that “oh sh*t” moment when it mercilessly stomps you into the ground over and over…

Yeah, they really should have replaced Tidus with Yuna and Vaan with Balthier/Ashe/Basch/someone actually relevant to the plot.

Exactly! Mercy is still very powerful, she just cant turn the tide of a fight all on her own anymore, which was never part of her design philosophy in the first place. You aren’t supposed to dive in and rez, you’re supposed to read the situation and determine when is the best time to use this.

Fuckin’ heretics!

Well, you can take the information in the art books, but its always best to take that with a grain of salt. The artbook implies that there was a great war between wyverns and humans. The wyverns had a civilization of their own. But the war was so great that both sides blasted each other back to the stone age. In some…

Better skip on this one. Monster Hunter is basically an MMORPG but the only quests you can get are gathering quests and boss raids.

Eh, if it makes you feel better, the end game monsters, the Elder Dragons, they have to killed immediately because they threaten the ecosystem. They disrupt the habitat by making the other wildlife runaway and some of them even alter the weather. A lot of the missions also involve culling the herd because it is…

Normally, I’d agree with you, but chess is still considered a sport. When I read articles justifying this classification, the “physical and mental” demands of chess, it basically can apply to video games. So I guess like the word “organic” there aren’t really any existing regulations on what classifies as a “sport.”…

I love that Monster Hunter players have a weapon that just “feels” right to them and I cant wait for new players to get that moment when a weapon “clicks” with them. Some of my friends started out with Insect Glaive, Charge Blade and Heavy Bowgun, some of the hardest weapons to use, but they just loved it so much…

You can be a cat in some of the other titles. For Monster Hunter World, the cat is your sidekick.

With the size of Japanese apartments? Even if they could afford it they literally have no place to put it.
