You could probably get hunter buddies in dedicated Discord servers, but it feels like everyone I know moved on. Huh, weird. Maybe I'm weird but fighting the same monsters over and over is isn't a big deal because it's always a little different. Granted, I'm only HR 7 and I guess not done with the story yet.

To be fair, I didn't expect to be done the game at 80 hours. The previous two Monster Hunter games, I'd gotten 200 hours in and still not accomplished everything I wanted to do, and eventually considered my time with them done at about 500 hours each. And that was before I was expected to pay for an expansion. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that Capcom pulled this one outta the oven too early.

That they got 500 hours out of the game in free expansion stuff before the real one.

Before MHW the way it worked is they would just release the expansion content as a new game. If you played GU and thought it had a ton of content thats because its MH Generations + stuff added for the Ultimate release. You have always had to pay for the expansion content

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:I'll bite: what are you referring to by bolding the word "pay"? Monster Hunter Rise has a paid expansion releasing in 2022. World had a paid expansion, but I'd already played World for 500 hours before the expansion released, so I was fine with buying more content. 3U, 4U and GU were expanded editions, but 3U was an updated game on a new, higher fidelity console, and 4U and GU (for the Switch) were the only editions I could actually buy in North America, so I don't consider those to be a problem. In Rise's case, the story is unfinished, there's a relatively scarcity of content for the series, and they've suddenly stopped having cool new event quests that add new fun things for you to unlock, and instead have "here's an event quest that unlocks a sticker that you'll never look at. By the way, did you know there's paid DLC you can purchase right now?" As a longtime fan, definitely feels like they pushed it out with significantly less than the fans are used to in hopes that the fans will pay extra money for more later. Which, like, I will, because it's Monster Hunter, but it still leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth.

Random question: looking to throw a couple Nintendo gift cards at a friend's kids, but I am realizing I have no clue what's an actual useful amount. Is $20 actually useful, or is that just going to be committing the kids to paying for the other half of whatever they want to get? If $20 is just annoying, is $35 actually less so? Also, just to clarify, these "Nintendo eShop Gift Card [Digital Code]" from Amazon are the right thing for this, yeah?

If you do like golf games Golf Story is a lot of fun, but its time as the go to indie game on Switch ended years ago. I finished my first play through of Metroid Dread over the weekend, if not for the EMMI’s I think it would be my favorite Metroid game ever. The EMMI stuff was fun and intense at first, but eventually dealing with them felt almost like a chore. Still easily my favorite game of the year though, I think I’m about to dive into a Hard mode run.

I guess it's personal preference but I spent about 200 hours in GenU and never really beat it. I also didn't have a ton of fun with it, ultimately, because there was so much filler and annoying design choices. Rise, on the other hand, is so streamlined and fun that I've *only* put in about 70 hours but loved all of it. The value of a game is not in the total hours spent. If that's your metric then I have a mountain of early JRPGs I'd like to sell you.

If $20 is just annoying, is $35 actually less so? $35 is more than enough to buy a good eShop game if they wait for a sale, and there is a new sale every day. Its not enough money for a Nintendo™ game (they never go on sale) but there are plenty of other games in the price range.

If $20 is just annoying, is $35 actually less so? $20 is enough for a big DLC. New Nintendo games are $60. $35 is enough for a good game that is also on sale. Consider simply coordinating with his parents to find out what games the kid likes and maybe just buy that game on sale, instead of trying to thread the needle with an arbitrary amount of money on a gift card. But if the kid is already really into, like, Zelda or Mario Kart, then $20 would be enough to buy the DLC pass, which would be a good value. You’re a cool uncle/friend of parents

I mean, sure, there are some tutorials and egg quests, but probably close to 95% of my playtime in previous MH games is spent doing things that I greatly enjoy doing. Rise has fantastic improvements to the overall mechanical structure of the game and significantly buffs several of the weapons in really good and satisfying ways - it is by no means a bad game. I just resent several of the ways that they also walked things back, and I don't like feeling nickel and dimed.

In what way have you been nickel-and-dimed by Rise? There's the base games, the free events and a paid expansion. As far as I know you can't pay money for anything else.

Inzombiac posted:In what way have you been nickel-and-dimed by Rise? A significant chunk of the paid DLC is layered armor for yourself and your pets, which in previous games tended to be free content that came with fun event quests. Now the event quests are often indistinguishable from normal quests and just get you A Sticker - the core loop of "kill monster, make new hat out of monster, fight new monster" loses its charm when you take out the part with the hat. Also it seems like most of the story basically wasn't in the main game, and a few of the new large monsters are locked until close to the end (Rakna-Kadaki, the monster I was most excited for, isn't available in any quests until something like HR7 for some reason). I don't like paid additions to a game that is widely considered to be lacking in content by fans, I don't see what's complex about that.

Granted, my tastes and gaming schedule have changed a bit since 2014. Still a good game though. My kids are enjoying the new characters and courses a lot.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realize there was a bunch of cosmetic DLC with Rise as I don't frequent the eShop or Nintendo.com pages of games I already own, though I was aware of the upcoming expansion. It's definitely less in your face with DLC than games on Steam generally are.

I prefer how Steam does it, it makes the entire thing transparent and out in the open. You can't get this sort of breakdown of all of the DLC and micro-transactions on a game on any other platform.

MH Rise is the best entry in the series and its one problem is that it doesn't have every old monster. At the same time, gently caress Plesioth.
