ive seen this comic several times and maybe im dumb (im definitely dumb) but i don't understand it. why is gabon so happy at the end. because cia hosed everything up? and he likes that cuz he's evil? or it's a way to mess with the jackasses? who's the other guy in the first panel? why is the cia sequence colored like a flashback. did it happen before the first panel? that doesn't make sense.

thanks.

Ganondorf is happy at the end because astral-project-telling Cia to go for Link caused a chain of events that ended with him being resurrected, which gives him the chance to gently caress with Link and Zelda again. The other guy in the first panel is The Commander, the main character of that particular comic, who is out drinking with Ganondorf. The Cia sequence is coloured that way because Ganondorf does not have a living body at that point and Cia is some kind of witch or whatever.

You don't need to port every single game, once you get the emulator running they all work.

Most emulators have significant amounts of game-specific quick-fixes running under the hood that have accrued over literal decades of development and troubleshooting, and a non-zero amount of these fixes can be undone with even the smallest changes made for the sake of other architecture.

And even then, you're overstating how well all emulators can run their entire related libraries - even as recently as last week, I discovered that it's still basically not possible to emulate Donkey Kong 64 without myriad problems.

This whole process is generally not as easy as people make it out to be. Also even beyond the technical hurdles there's all the copyright stuff.

The problem I've encountered is that all the good people and veterans raced to the finish, considered the game meh due to the lack of monsters, and are now waiting for that expansion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
