if you’re hanging out in the butt room i don’t see much reason not to set them to auto-join. plus you can just set the party size limit to 1 if you want to do something alone or whatever. maybe i don’t totally understand how it works though, i’ve never used an sos or anything
yeah i’ll try to be more mic-available too, it doesn’t even occur to me not to use a psn party
the cutscene joining rule is weird but i guess i really don’t find them too long or too frequent. don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely videogame cutscenes, but whatever
on a happy note, gunlance has been going swimmingly for me. I thought it would feel more restricting with all that weight. I’m used to long sword and charge blade.
at one point when you and I were the only ones in the voice lobby a couple hours ago my wife walked in and said loudly “why are you wearing slippers without pants?” so even if you happened not to have heard that take your best shot imo
I’ve seen a lot of footage of this game now and I don’t know if it’s really for me. I’m afraid I won’t “get” the fighting system, just as I don’t “get” Dark Souls’. I’m afraid I’ll get bored of huge boss fights all the time. I’m afraid the gathering and crafting is going to piss me off. I’m afraid it won’t be worth the full price of 60 Euros to me and I’ll quit playing long before I feel satisfied with that purchase. I’d pay 20 or even 30 for it, I think. But until the price is that low (on PC) we’re talking about 2019…
Well I sorta liked Tri and played it for 50 hours or something or maybe it was only 20 but that’s a lot of hours anyway for a game you only sorta “get”. With Tri I just wished they made the whole thing more user friendly and accessible, which is exactly what they did with World. The question is, did they do enough of it and is it worth 60 bucks.
I don’t know if all these improvements were worth it if it means not having a dedicated kick button. How are we supposed to go around kicking fellow hunters and give grief in the friendliest of manners? I didn’t notice it was missing until I was in a hunting with some friends waiting for the go home timer to finish and we weren’t kick each other. I dunno if I can go on now.
Just spent some very quality time in the pretty coral place with some very cute and peaceful bat wyverns. I’m very sleepy and they had nice eyes and sounded like pigeons.
Meanwhile the shamos or whatever are very rude >:(
I know this is kinda silly but seeing all the sbutts online and dropping in on each other’s quests makes me happy in like, a nice simple way. Even when you’re killing giant monsters there’s a weird cosiness and joy in this game.
I’m really into this game; it’s still pretty awkward in spots but there are a ton of quality-of-life changes that make everything way smoother. And the areas after the first two are pretty wild and unexpected.
It’s super nice that you can eat, access your item box, and change gear in the middle of a mission now.
Scouring the wiki almost felt necessary in previous MH games but this game has surfaced a lot of that information. Info about monster weakness, breakable parts, and drops are all visible in-game. The weapon tree is visible in-game too!
Probably my favorite quality of life update is that you can now save item loadouts which when selected will automatically take the loadout items out of the box and put away everything else you’re carrying. Instead of tedious unloading and restocking every time I use the box I can just select an item loadout and all my items are exactly how I want them (item wheel settings are saved too!).
i feel like it might have even been 4 that added this?
i think i’m almost at high rank. all the quality of life improvements so far have been real good and not taken away from the overall monhun feel which i was worried about. interested to see how it goes towards the endgame loop though.
Man I’m such a… Something. I’m so close to buying a PS4 Pro for this (and a handful of other games), even though I’m not sure I’ll like it. Like, I have the webshop open right now and it’s sitting there waiting for the final click for an hour now. FML is what you say to that I guess. Pray for me sb, pray for my wallet. I’d be paying for this for 2 years
