I don't think you can write off options for buffing and prep when you have done like 1 or 2 LR hunts.

Rise took a little bit of time to hook me, coming off of World. I think the map design was a part of that - unlike World's, which had these sprawling maps that felt large and spread over an area, Rose's maps felt more....I don't know how exactly to explain it, it felt like the map was a big column filled with land. After I got used to this change, I enjoyed it a lot more and it turned into one of my favourites of the series.

I went straight from World to Rise without a break and yeah, it can be pretty jarring. It's the slight changes that mess you up. That said, Rise is a fantastic game and worth adjusting to if you really liked World. Rampages are rear end though.

They made dev messages glow a bit more compared to player ones. Really just needed to make the bloodstain look a little non-standard too. Though I guess circling around, there were a couple of messages specifically pointing to the bloodstain which helps. In general messages in Elden Ring have been pretty incredible. Especially in dungeons where helpful sorts will clearly explain things like "here's the way forward, but go back and left for side stuff first" .

I love the game, but if anything it's even worse about that. You can turn off individual UI elements if that helps, and if you're getting it on PC there are mods of course.

I wouldn't call it worse, other than some remnants of the old extreme uncancelable animation lock that should be cleaned up to be consistent, but it has a very different feel compared to how methodical it used to be. I'd like to see a game that played more like the pace of monster hunter tri because it feels like every action game just wants to get faster now. I'm interested in wild hearts but from videos it definitely looks like it will be more MHR's pace.

After Paper Mario, I started up Superstar Saga today. I love the game, but I'd forgotten it doesn't heal you/replenish special attack points when you level up. I really like that whole strategy of planning your item use around an upcoming level-up, not including it just feels rude

Gay Rat Wedding posted:Monster hunter rise having crippled mobility compared to world is an insane take lol I did specify your base mobility. You run and dodge slow as hell. The alternative is using your dog and wirebug to get around much faster, which is kind of the core issue of my mobility complaints. In World, if you didn't like the clutch claw and what it brought to the table you could mostly ignore it, but you can't ignore the new silk stuff in rise because it pervades basically everything. Even basic bits of combat are outright replaced by new silkbind skills that have you zipping around and flailing, leaping, and going wild. And the downside to that, is that now the monsters all seem faster and more agile to keep up with the players being able to go faster and more agile. Like, I don't disagree that when you use all of the tools available to you, the game is more agile and mobile than World ever was. I can scoot across an arena in a second or two and leave a monster in the dust. But the inverse is that it feels like it left the more traditional style of gameplay in the dust as well, where if I try to play the game without using the wirebug and related mechanics it feels painfully slow and chunky compared to World where I could roll around and dodge between my attacks without much issues. Someone above said you can add items to the item bar, which surprises me because I couldn't find out how anywhere in the game, and even google only told me that no, you can't, just use the radial menu. If there's some way to do it I'd love to know how.

It's like MH games are contractually obligated to have completely dogshit gimmicks taking up an unreasonable amount of time while being mandatory for progress. In World it's Zorah Magdaros missions, in Rise it's the loving Rampages. Just let me hunt monsters, that's literally what I'm here for.  But really the thing that drags down MH for me is that somehow my brain is broken in a way that I never quite click with any one of the weapons. Some are almost there, but I never can find one that has just the right amount of complexity for me. Longsword, Insect Glaive, and Gunlance are all almost there for me, but inevitably have something I get critically annoyed by before long.

Every time I try to like Rise it sucks. It feels incredibly shallow compared to World and has little to no tactile feedback on anything. (People say this is because its the "mobile" offering which ok maybe) Why learn a map when you can just jump over everything? Environmental hazards? jump it. Monster flying away? So what you can fly too. The map might as well be flat for all it matters. Id say that the one improvement it had was coop but literally every friend I had that played world bounced off Rise just as hard so even if the cutscene bullshit from world are gone so are all the people I played with. Anyways its not just you that didnt like it

I think by default left and right on the d-pad scroll your Action Bar (which has the camera, let me ride!, etc.) and lb+x/lb+b scroll your item bar which has the items in your pouch. There's an option in settings under either controls or gameplay to switch to using d-pad for the item bar instead - that might be what's tripping you up.

I must be a mutant because I never had an issue tapping the d-pad while running around. But more specifically my confusion was why there was an item bar, but also an item bar for items you don't give a poo poo about. I guess one of them is called the action bar.

The way it was in the past, the lb+x/lb+b input was the only way to scroll through your items, since there was only one analog stick so the d-pad was needed for controlling the camera. Personally, I went all in on the radial menu when they added that. I only use 2 or 3 low-priority items through the item bar.

Elden Ring's armor game is a bit odd. It's not like there's zero armor available in the early to mid game, but most of it tops out at broadly interchangeable medium stuff. Heavy stuff is basically nowhere to be seen outside of random drops. And even then, my inventory still feels rather empty compared to how fast you can accumulate whole sets in Dark Souls, probably because what whole sets are out there are only available through buying them off random merchants and I'm not going to buy what is clearly yet another light set I'll never use. The heavy knight armor I got off an enemy in Limgrave within the first couple of hours is still the best all around chest armor I've got now at 30 hours in. Apparently there might be marginally better ones out there...that are also random drops from specific enemies. From tweaked, improved, overhauled, or otherwise changed so many things for the better, but I wish they'd do something about RNG drops. Not even necessarily remove them outright, but at least provide other avenues than just farming enemies and hoping for the best, because that poo poo bores me to numbness.

A lot of stealth games like Hitman, MGS and Splinter Cell have ways to disable or destroy surveillance cameras, which is cool and all, but how come nobody ever sends anyone to check on what happened to camera #22a in the east wing and investigate why the feed went out? Are all of them unmonitored?

I don't think I've ever destroyed a camera in a Hitman game, I just always stole the footage instead. I think this is the first I've heard that you CAN destroy the cameras in those games.

On the hardest difficulty in Hitman cameras are sometimes actively monitored so that if you are caught on camera then a guard will be dispatched. But NPCs don't react to camera or security system destruction unless they are already nearby. Destroying cameras is good on some levels where you need to do it to get the security system or where you only need to destroy a few cameras and the security system is out of the way. Or for certain challenges/rewards. Doctor Spaceman has a new favorite as of 14:01 on Feb 9, 2023 |

I know Hitman Blood Money had NPCs checking out destroyed cameras if they were watching the feed. It's probably in a lot more stealth games than you think just because you are often not hanging around after destroying the camera. Continuing on the Hitman series, the new Freelancer mode for the latest one highlights a problem I've had with the entire trilogy: The maps are too big, it mostly works in the story missions since there are a lot of optional challenges spread around, even if some stuff seems to be there just for other modes. But in Freelancer mode where you starting point and the target are randomized it gets pretty annoying having to go around finding them, especially on showdown mission were you don't even know which of the multiple suspects are your targets. So for example figuring out which of your 6 suspects is the actual target when spread out over a military compound , an embassy, a thriving marketplace and all the back alleys in between gets really annoying, especially since you only have one shot and can't save. And a lot of the time you have to get all up in their face to see if they have the required earing, because you have to check both ears and they can be really tiny, and then you have to follow them to see if they are a smoker or not, so it's lot like you can do this from a distance, you actually have to run around an entire level.
