All my Nintendo systems from NES to Switch has either been grey or black. I much prefer that as electronics are ugly in general and don't need to stand out.
Duck Hunt: Even though you can't shoot the ducks on these blasted new televisions, you can still be the duck and fly around for that sweet sweet evasive victory.
@SlayerG Thanks for sharing. 80 pieces is definitely cool. A little worried about the material though. Looks like it could damage the pins on the cartridge if it's some sort of synthetic hairy material. Sorry it's the best description I've got beyond cotton. English is not my primary language 😉
I never got to the point of a third playthrough to see what would happen to Mantorok once the balance of the ancients was completely broken. Always got the feeling that a surprise was in store for those who would.
I'd like to call for a poll. Cause it seems to me that a lot of you guys have filthy greasy hands
A: You have filthy hands and your controllers are greasy B: You always clean your hands before use and never let anyone else use your controller, but keep spare ones for the mob to use.
I don't get it. The skin colour should match whatever makes sense the area the game is representing to take place in.
Resident Evil 5 chose a setting in Africa. It was loaded with Africans. Finally people should be happy, right?... Right?.... Wrong! There's always someone complaining.
Mario Golf 64 had 8 courses. Might as well play that. Speed golf has zero interest. The idea itself is just ridiculous. If you wanna play golf, do it right.
I reckon Elder Scrolls VI was rumoured in the works back in 2016 or maybe even the year before. An official announcement didn't happen until 2018, but it might well have been in the works for over 5 years now. So it's not unsual. Just stupid to announce something with more than 1 year until actual release.
I think it's ridiculous when these so called "Limited Print" companies releases psysical games which costs 10 times as much as their digital counterpart.
It's not really the gameplay that made World. The gameplay was mainly what people was bitching about. You only know if you have played former games. What made World was the fact that it was on a dedicated home console and not a handheld, so that graphics and power could finally lift the game to what the others could not.
Quickly? I wouldn't call it quickly. This game is the 6th generation. Monster Hunter is almost 20 years old. Didn't really see any acclaim before the 3th generation.
Why not purchase a Pro Controller? Problem solved. Maybe even slide it in the docking station and play on the big screen. I personally never play hand held. It's just not comfortable.
@Entrr_username It was indeed a selfish arrogant idea, which nobody wanted besides the big dukes themselves. It was only about the money and totally undermined all that football stands for in it's beauty. That David, although tiny as it is, always has a chance to take out Goliath. They tried to destroy that. These 12 clubs has damaged their reputation and it does not look like the fans are forgiving so easily.
So... I have now put in between 50-100 hours in Rise. And although it does seem like one of the best Monster Hunter games in the series, I have one major complaint - and I'm disappointed that the review mentions nothing of it. Maybe the reviewer hasn't really played other games in the series to full extend or maybe he is just not that skilled.
Anyway... the major complaint is that the game is WAY TOO EASY. It's beyond ridiculous. Taking down monsters takes around 5-10 minutes compared to older games in the series which would take in comparison 4 times as long.
Monster Hunter games is supposed to be hard or at least not easy. It is supposed to require skill and forces you to pay attention at all times. I don't feel that's the case here. I have yet never experienced a quest abandoned cause of 3 faints. When a game is too easy, you don't feel rewarded when you succeed a hunt.
I'd like to know your opinion on this matter. There's no way I can be the only one with this feeling.
@Barbara001 In that case well played. Your opinion is obviously very valid. We all have different ways of enjoying a gaming experience. For me, the story is everything. I started with VII all those years ago and was blown away. The story was something special that I had never experienced before. I followed up with VIII and was very disappointed. Sure if you like your odd love story, but it lacked tension and lots more. Poor sequel to the series. I dropped out due to the fact that I owned other systems than Playstation and played the former on PC, so didnt play another FF game until I purchased an overpriced copy of FF6 for SNES. That was perhaps my greatest FF experience of all time. It was magical. Everything about it. I would love to see a modern remake of that one. I also own 4 on SNES but havent gotten to it yet. Maybe I should do it soon. A few years ago I was given a pink Playstation 2 at my birthday so that I could experienve FF XII. Im still not sure if their intension was to mock me as I have always deliberately avoided Sony consoles. I played through it and was somewhat disappointed at my friends praisel. You see, when you have played through VI and VII, you come to expect too much of the series. I play them cause I dont like reading books, but want the same powerful storytelling experience. XIII trilogy I played through and actually enjoyed and Im not sure why. A lot of things I disliked, but overall I enjoyed the experience and even thouhg the story was somewhat weak, it kept me interested through the lore. I liked it much more than XV, so when everyone else was putting XIII down, my expectations for XV could nothing but rise. Im holding back on FF7 Remake until the whole trilogy is released. Im sure I will enjoy it. Dont know why so many talk about VII being overhyped. If you didnt experience the game around its initial release, of cause you will feel its overhyped. When you see graphics from another age you need the nostalgia to be able to enjoy it I believe. It will be interesting to the what they come up with for XVI. I just feel they need better writers.
@Barbara001 Yeah, I'm sure. You never forget a disappointment like that 😉 I have to ask out of curiosity. Have you played any other FF games, so that you can truly compare?
@Barbara001 XV's story amazing? What story? There is none. What little there is, a kid could have written in 2 hours. Even the villain is more indifferent and boring than watching paint dry.
I can't believe XV is even on the list. It's the worst FF game I've ever played. Sure the graphics are fine, but the game is utter *****. I would have put XIII before XV any day. All comes down to individual opinions though.

That makes Rises 43 unique monsters feel like a far better deal so early after release, if updates with new monster keep on coming.
