Ursine Catastrophe posted:BotW drew me in in a way that MonHun has never quite managed to and I still can't really put my finger on why. I got 3 for the 3DS and probably put a couple hours into it but it just never clicked. I put a ton of hours into MonHun, and quit before G rank or whatever high level rank thing is every time. I like the boss battles a lot but basically thats when the game feels grindy and I just completely lose interest.

And that's why BOTW is maybe my favorite game of all time. It doesn't really explain anything and expects you to experiment but things work the way you'd expect and sometimes in ways you wouldn't. You never NEED shield surfing but goddamn is it fun.

Tender Bender posted:Monster Hunter isn't open world though, it's small separated levels that are basically arenas. Breath of the Wild isn't similar to Monster Hunter but it does take elements from it, mainly the gathering/crafting/preparation stuff, and use that to great effect. Its not that dense. I jumped in at 4 and grocked it right away. 1. Dodging is super important you actually have to do it. 2. It matters where you hit stuff and with what sharpness. 3. Pick a weapon and watch a youtube explianing the moves. It will tell you your basic combo and when to use. If the video is too complicated try a simpler weapon. (switch axe for life) Go to town. After 10 hours maybe real some guides and you will have frames of reference for what the he'll is going on.

It's a really well executed game, I don't want to get into specifics in this thread because even discovering systems and mechanics is fun and rewarding. In, say, Monster Hunter (which I still think is a bad comparison) I think it's a necessity to look up guides for all its systems, but in Breath of the Wild I don't think you should look up anything, because for some reason it actually feels rewarding to learn something by accident or from a random npc and realizing the answer to a question you've been wondering for hours.

I never feel the need or urge to 100% it if that's even possible. I just play for a long as time then am done.

Bombadilillo posted:I'm looking forward to that as well. The portability will be a big factor in buying it on switch. yeah not to harp on this but my steam/3DS backlog is probably going to stay pretty untouched at this rate just because of how nice it is to just be able to get up and relax somewhere that's not "in front of a computer" all the time, but also have a decent sized screen instead of perpetually staring at a 6"x4" screen even on the "extra large" versions nintendo accidentally ruined me, whoops Bombadilillo posted:Who fights mobs in monster Hunter? Unless you are grinding for a specific horn or something. Then 5 minutes later you grind for 5. Hours to get the real materials. someone who apparently didn't get far enough into the game to get to whatever part people love, which I guess is kind of the point Kashuno posted:I would love an open world monster hunter, if such a game existed. honest question, what exactly defines "open world" for you I mean to me any game that doesn't have "missions" that jump you from area to area where you can't go back is open world. Deus Ex is (mostly) open world, Dishonored is not. MH3 felt comparatively open in that regard, even if there were loading screens between subzones, but that felt like more of a system limitation than a game design preference. but on the other hand the term "open world" is probably so definition-compromised that it's probably on par with "roguelike" in terms of "game genre terms that could mean literally anything at this point"

Open world means generally there is more or less one large open world the game takes place in. You can call things whatever you like but people are generally going to be confused if you refer to stuff like Deus Ex as open world. For an open world Monster Hunter, imagine breath of the wild but instead of goblin camps there's rathalos and tigrex. Bombadilillo posted:Its not that dense.

Infinitum posted:Neogeo games updated to fix sync issues I bought Metal Slug 3 and it seems fine. Doesn't look or sound weird. Tons of slowdown in certain scenarios, dunno if that's "faithful recreation" or just lovely porting. I'll have to try it in portable mode later, because I didn't really buy it to play on a huge TV.

Splatoon is good if only for making console FPS's controls better for comboing motion sensors and joystick for aiming.

I've never once used ignore in all these years and arguing with assholes is more for the benefit of onlookers than assholes. It's good to shun bad behavior wherever you see it. I'm off the soapbox about this for now, though. Play games. Enjoy your Switch. Zelda is good. Can't wait for Splatoon2!

Deus Ex kind of exists in a gray area. The first one, like a lot of RPGs that predate the term "open world" gives you large areas that aren't necessarily linear, but are presented basically sequentially and the modern ones basically follow suit with a more robust hub world. If I were describing it to someone, I probably wouldn't call it an "open world" game because that connotes a bigass map covered in icons. That's not what Deus Ex, DXHR, or DXMD are really doing.

I think Deus Ex is probably best described as a hub-and-spoke world game. Which honestly sounds dumb as hell, but apt.

There are more useful descriptors than sort-of applicable ones like "open world." "First person RPG" does a lot more to explain what makes Deus Ex different from Ultima VII than "open world."
