@Link-Hero
That's a duh moment. Of course you're right. Anything that runs SteamVR will run it. Good catch.

@DarthNocturnal
That sounds right.

The game is roughly 100 hours, give or take about 20 hours.

For the social sim / daily component, you will only ever play as Joker (unlike Persona 3 Portable there is no female equivalent playable character). However, you'll be able to control other party members in combat as early as the first dungeon (IIRC around 2-4 hours into the game). Joker must always be in your party.

@JaxonH I was hoping to make a longer post in the forums later, but for the moment I just want to say that I liked what you had to say about what constitutes whining, and I am forced to agree with you for the moment about the comment sections being overrun by trolls and children. Here are some choice quotes from today's article about F-Zero being mentioned at the shareholder meeting:

Who care about F-Zero, the real news here is that snip

and you know what they said to him? ... “No way Jose”

Don't need a new F-Zero. I'll take GX HD and be happy. Really doubt they can top that game, anyway.

I have tried to have a shorter Ignore list this year, but I think that experiment is over.

I asked this once a few months ago in a different thread but no one knew an answer, so I’ll ask here: does anyone know if on the Nintendo website somewhere you can add a specific amount of funds? On the eShop itself, you can only do $10, $20, $50, or $100. Specifically, if I wanted to put $5 on, is it possible to do that?

EDIT: I just checked on the website, and it doesn’t seems as though you can add anything other than those 4 amounts. Tell me if you know any way you can add $5 please.

check out the review of Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak and Cuphead the the last Course and check out the analysis of the Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope showcase.

@DarthNocturnal That’s not why. Last time I said the reason it seemed to confuse some people, so I left it out this time but I’ll add it now - it’s a prepaid debit card I got as a gift, so it had $25 on it. I’ve used 20 of them, and now I have 5 more, but I don’t know if there’s any way to add it. When I tried on my 3DS it wouldn’t let me, but if I try on Switch (or the Nintendo website), I suppose it might just add the max amount if I say $10, I haven’t tried that yet…

@BabyYoda71 There's no way to put specific amounts on eshop cards. Deku Deals shows $5 eshop cards on amazon and best buy. $5 is as small as they get, and hardly anyone carries them, as far as I've seen.

Actually, amazon, best buy, and gamestop have $5 eshop cards.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is 🔥 🔥 🔥 as expected. An absolute dream come true, a game of a caliber we only see a few times per generation.

I took the day off for it, and it’s worse than crack cocaine. I can’t stop. I won’t stop. I’d don’t want to stop, ever.

Btw, due to the extra copies of the CE and normal release I got to keep sealed and one for the shelf, I have two digital codes for Sunbreak. One is the standard release, one is the digital deluxe.

Will sell them for $10 under MSRP if anyone is interested ($30 for standard, $40 for Deluxe), otherwise to eBay they go.

Oh, and this is the only take on Sunbreak you need. RageSlashGaming is an OG Hunter. This guy doesn’t miss.

Still holding out hope we'll get a third physical release of MHR with everything on cartridge once we're past all the post-launch updates.

I'm ready to give up on this Xenoblade CE. It's ruined my entire day. Been through 7 queues, every time I get to the page it won't add to cart, says item limit reached. Been dealing with this since the morning. And I'm just ready to throw the towel in and pay the 3X markup from a scalper on eBay. It's not worth it. This is a joke. I'm so frustrated

@Magician
Seriously doubt it. They never did for Iceborn and that was using discs.

japan trademark goverment aprove the use of the Donkey Kong IP/trademark, new Donkey Kong coming on Switch?

I gotta say the Malzeno amiibo looks really cool in person. I keep setting my wallet on fire with this game but at least if it ever clicks I will have everything. Lol.

I honestly don't think it's a generational thing at all. It's just people who know enough to not know anything, which is a universal thing that exists across ALL demographics.

Also the reason why higher framerate movies are dumb is because to get a higher framerate video you have to reduce the exposure time for each image. Recording something real at a lower framerate, which is what we're used to seeing in movies/tv, will add motion blur to every frame of content in motion. That's what we're used to so when you remove it something feels off. And it's also something that animators have also baked into their animations. So when you do this motion-smoothing post-processing all you're really doing is interpolating between frames that already have motion-blur baked in. Which doesn't do anything positive at all....

So I agree with you fundamentally there. I just don't agree at all with the angle you're approaching it from. I personally don't have a huge technical issue with high framerate video content. I do have a learned cultural dislike of it for certain kinds of content. And I also don't think we should be forcing content into a box that's well outside of the way the creator intended to hit some arbitrary check box

@Ryu_Niiyama
I already crafted some sick armor in Master Rank.

1st set was Velociprey armor which is the blue scaled set. That had base defense of 86 per piece. Now I crafted my first large monster armor from Daimyo Hermitaur (the red giant crab). His set is modeled after an Americal football player, and I love it! Base defense 92 per piece, upgraded to 96 per piece.

@JaxonH I would ask if you have slept at all but … lol apparently not. Glad you are having fun though!

@Ryu_Niiyama
Let's just say, I accidentally overslept today and had to use a vacation day. Didn't mean to, but I slept right through my alarm from staying up so late last night.

Sigh... Such is the struggle of monster hunters

It seems Three Hopes has a memory leak. If you play the game for too long without exiting (I'm talking several hours), the game slows down to the point where there's major input lag and the home button only gives you the option to enter sleep mode.

Other than that it's been an extremely enjoyable game so far, just entered Part 2 of Golden Wildfire.

@Grumblevolcano
Good to know, especially since I tend to never close games out. Just suspend and sleep.

But with Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak out, and Portal 1/2, I unfortunately have to put Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes into backlog for the time being. I really want to keep playing. It's so good. But... Monster Hunter and Portal are just higher up the totem pole.

@JaxonH ROTFLOL! That’s cute. I haven’t done that in years…haven’t been hyped enough (that and I just go to work tired since I work from home…nap during lunch) I suspect I will have to take the day BOTW2 comes out, off.
