as an act of self-love, im taking my tax return and buying a copy of this game for Valentines Day
psn is kenziie42 add meh
edit: @bib has informed me that my recipent settings are wrong. i dont actually know what that means but i will figure it out and fix it later tonight <3
it was just supposed to be a simple paolumu hunt. I knew that there was an odogaron and a bazelgeuse on the map, but I didn’t expect all three monsters to get into a fight with each other for TWENTY MINUTES
true to form I just pitifully disappointed the group that showed up to help me with my first attempt at nergigante BUT I’m at a point where I can run HR legiana or odogaron fairly trivially so I did that a couple times each and some Japanese people showed up and I think my armour should be better now
me and @bib got double slam KO’d earlier by that attack, but I’m half happy we failed so I didn’t have to sit through another post-fight “item master” award for that fight.
once again gunlance is OP as hell, I can block all of his attacks without hitting zero stamina. the game is even nice enough to buffer my block so that if he follows up with a second hit and I’ve let go of the trigger, I’ll still deflect it (which has saved me on many occasions)
It’s kind of like some fighting games where if you are still in block stun and receive another attack you still block it even if you let go of the direction button. Be careful about that if Rajang ever makes it to the new world. He has a lot of rapid attack that love to tear through stamina and if you block once you are forced to block the rest so it’s important to keep your stam up and managed.
