Applies mustache and beard (screams in scratchy voice) In my day, we would have to catch a Mankey to beat the first gym if we had Charmander, and we were okay.
I’d wager many Floridians take hurricanes and tropical storms as jokes a lot of the time as they’re accustomed to hearing about them several times throughout the year. Living there, we get hit by storms all the time, and every summer we hear about a handful of new ones.
When Hurricane Irma hit last year, it may have not have been the disaster that Katrina was but it was still terrifying when it came in. People were basically buying everything they could and preparing to sit through it. My family wanted to go to the nearby school as it was being used as a safe zone. Lots of people died and we were left without power for two weeks. Many Floridians joke about Hurricanes and sit through them but when the real ones hit it still sucks bad. A disaster is still a disaster. Maybe in the future people will just look back and faintly recall and or joke about things like many do with Hurrican Katrina, but it was still an awful experience at the moment. I imagine the same is the case for Japan right now.
Hope those who suffered get through these difficult times.
In all honesty, Prowler mode is basically the closest one can get to World style combat in generations, maybe even more quick. It’s super fluid and fast paced with no need to worry about resources and grinding for tools. Super fun.
@Octane Yeah a lot of Monster Hunter is still grindy menus. Like World just shoved it in your face from the start and Generations bombards you with menu after menu explaining everything. Which while a nice tool, can be overwhelming.
The quantity thing is true. I referenced it a bit when I said it was for obvious reason that gen had way more content than world. They reuse a lot of stuff and I imagine the same will the case for future games with World.
Tbh, I like aspects of both. I adore World’s QoL changes and the lack of segmented areas in each specific area. The combat is also faster which I’m a fan of as well. The graphical improvements are obvious but the world does seem strangely less vibrant in color.
However World does suffer in the monster department and the weapon and armors. Which is what I find to be the best part of the series. The monster variety is not very good in World when compared to Gen, for obvious reasons. Not only that I think the creativity for several of the new monsters to be a bit of a let down when compared to those introduced in 3, 4 and Gen, and honestly come off as boring attempt at being realistic. The whole realism thing doesn’t hold together when you fight a mountain volcano dragon, a laser dragon and a zombie dragon. The armor and weapons are just bland imo.
A bit rambly, but it’s just notable things off the top of my head.
@Octane Your probably joking but the monster in World definitely look better, like a lot better, but mechanically they’re not much different, if at all, when compared to previous monsters in the series.
Blob lobbed is interesting. Nautilus having a baller as a Splatling is pretty unique as well. Light Tetra Dualies have a bad kit like the Dark variant but arguably worse now after Autobombs were reasonably buffed. The
Custom Hydra will probably completely overshadow the original because it actually has a fitting kit for itself.
I've heard the game is pretty darn fun. Lacking in Single Player content, but incredibly enjoyable online. I think many people are overreacting.
Splatoon 2 launched in a similar state and in a similar tier zero and unbalanced format, but was overtime patched and improved greatly. This game is supposed to hav online events and updates iirc. So I'm assuming the patches will come too. I mean, it takes the Splatoon team a month to release a patch.
Devs know the power of the Hydra and continue to hold its release back. The moment that new kit comes out, it will likely see some decent competitive play.
If the rumor is true I imagine it was done because of time constraints. A new Gen 8 would require more time to be worthwhile and Gen 1 is arguably the most well known and nostalgic generation.
The Nintendo Gods please improve the online of your games. If you improve the tick rate and features of games like Splatoon 2 I’ll gladly sacrifice 20 dollars and partake in your sin.
@Agramonte #37 Yeah, now that you mention it things have been pretty slow as of lately. At least gaming wise for me, the last two games I bought were Monster Hunter World and Super Mario Odyssey.
More good games is a good thing. I’m not sure why some people here seem to dislike the idea of more Indies. Beyond them just being salty that it’s not a big AAA game.
Depends on how much they add to a game. If they add enough, then people will consider it a new game, if not, a port then.
Like Splatoon 2 at launch had significant changes that changed entirely how Splatoon was played competitively, but the immediately notable changes weren't substantial enough for many to consider it a 'true' sequel. It wasn't helped that the developers locked content from the previous game, making it a complete slog at first.
Now after 2.0 and approaching the 3.0 version/DLC, people seem more open to acknowledging it as a sequel. The amount of new content is key as to what people consider a sequel.
Most of the movies I've watched from them I've enjoyed. A lot of people don't seem to like them, but I'm fine with it. Good luck to the people making this thing. It' likely not a simple task.
