People like to dunk on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for being wonky from time to time, and rightly so, they were very wonky. But were there any better console shooters at the time? All I remember is Syphon Filter and that game was even wonkier.

I think part of what keeps them in that niche is toy stores won't stock video game merch when they can just stack another shelf of Lego, Hot Wheels and My Little Pony. The toy market is apparently a ridiculous mess.

If Gamestop is anything to go by video game chains are running on fumes and don't have more than a couple of years at best before extinction

I am sure dying malls will keep those weird stores full of $1 original Gameboy games and run by a 70-year old man though

Dauntless is a better game than Monster Hunter despite being uglier and having massively less content

I never played any of the Monster Hunter games but I don’t like googling things because there’s always spoilers. Which one would be the best to try out? Preferably an emulatable one.

Monster Hunter World is full of all sorts of weird grinding cruft and odd QoL decisions that get between me and hunting some monsters while Dauntless doesn't. Thats pretty much it. Monster Hunter has more weapons, smoother animations, more monsters, more varied environments, better art, etc. but if I want to go hunt some monsters, use different weapons, and level gear Dauntless is so much easier to just be doing that.

This came up because I am approaching the final achievement in Dauntless and thought, oh hey I still have Mob Hun World, that should be more content. I did one hunt and went "oh yeah, this is why I quit"

Monster Hunter World is good enough to start on, and it runs okay on PC out of the box.

Dauntless is F2P all systems, Mon Hun runs well but costs money on all systems but is also available on gamepass if you have that

Monster Hunter World is such a tremendous leap in playability, and with the iceborne expansion chock full of monsters, that it feels wrong to recommend any other version in my opinion.

It feels old. Jumbled as hell inventory, clunky controls. It's also really hard.

the only one that is even a little bit good is Monster Hunter:World. As has been mentioned Generations goes on sale on the switch all the time but it’s a port of a 3DS game, if you would instead prefer a bad port of a psp game Monster Hunter Freedom Unite has an iOS port that is slightly less terrible than it sounds

personally I dig god eater 3 for my hit-big-things-until-they-die fix these days

i remember grinding for drops in dauntless only to find that the required part-break was bugged and had been for the past six months.

that's... well it didn't inspire confidence. we stopped playing it shortly after
