Yeah I don't really care for bows in MH. I've tried all of them, taken down various monsters, and none of them scratch that itch. You're plinking away, slow and methodical, but in your heart you know you want to be up in their poo poo dodging twitch hip checks and yelling at your friend for staggering you with his stupid Sephiroth sword

If you aren't up in their poo poo with a bow, you are too far

bow and arrow yes because it has a melee component where you just punch them with your bow, but i feel like bowgun is too heavy and slow to get up in most monsters' poo poo, and i don't know if bow and arrow is in MHW

Bows own because you are constantly laying powered up shotgun blasts in the monster's face while just barely dodging away with you sick rear end sidestep

What are some games with a female silent protagonist?

Portal 1 & 2

This may count as cheating, but most Western RPGs and MMOs with selectable main characters have silent (not voice acted) protagonists. So Skyrim, Oblivion, WoW, ESO, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon Age 1, Baldur’s Gate, Wasteland 2, Dragon’s Dogma Fallout 1-3, etc etc etc.

Then you have indie games which often are silent too. People have mentioned a bunch already. Here’s some more: Bloodstained, Shovel Night (if you want), Tacoma, Little Nightmares, The Flame in the Flood, Lara Croft GO (this is definitely cheating).


Giant Bomb has a pretty good list of games with female protagonists to help narrow your search.

Why is it that we had 4 player split screen games when everyone had 19 inch TVs and now that everyone has 50 inch TVs we have hardly any split screen games

Rendering issues. There was hardly a split screen game in like the 90s that wasn't compromised in some way whether it limited you to specific featureless stages or in Mario Kart 64 three and four players remove all the other racers. By the time games were powerful enough to be fully featured in split screen online was a thing so why optimize this already barely held together game for a feature no one uses??

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I played the bow a decent bit in MHW and I never got the hang of using the close range coating.

Buying significantly less games. I spent way too much money over the last 2 1/2 years on video games. I regret it and realize it has become a serious issue that is financially hurting me. If I actually finished most of these games, or even enjoyed them, that would make it easier to accept, but that isn't true at all.

The hunter class in World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy Tactics has a class that can use muskets, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy XIV, and Tree of Savior has one too. Trying to think of more, those weapons don't show up often in RPGs which might really be why I like them. They are not standard RPG weapons. Final Fantasy is the only series really that features them a lot.
