Shouldn't have supported Brexit then. Can't have the best of both worlds.

There will be better looking games 7 years from now

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.

@1ofUs
Open any European news paper and the explanation is there.

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.

Thread #14 nails my 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.

Neither am I surprised. I only played Symphonia and Vesperia, but between those Symphonia was the better experience.

@Jayvir
I always set a goal forging ALL armor pieces in the game. That's a good 800 hours for you right there, while you wait for extra content

@Ludovsky
I welcome Chameleos. I've never played handheld and Tri was my first introduction to the series (loved 3U). My first encounter was in GU which I for some reason had a better experience with than World. Probably to do with there being far more content in GU. I also felt world was a step back compared to GU where I've just gotten used to the Hunter Arts. Mobility felt far worse in World. It did get better down the line though. It could also be because I'm a GS wielder. Anyway... Chameleos was fun and felt different to most other fights.
I still dream of a return of Jhen Mohran, although I'm aware I'm short of support there. For me it was one of the better large monster fights. I really hope there are some good ones in Rise. (No spoilers please). Zorah Magdaros was boring.

I dig what you're getting at with adding to low rank. But I'm not sure it will do much good for current hunters, since you're over powered. I didn't even know you could transfer your save game from Tri to 3U. It must have been exclusively to handheld as Wii > Wii U seems impossible.

Good luck friday. It's my first pre-order in years. Never understood the point. Now I do

I thought this was a tower defense game. Well, it's a pass then.

Let's not forget that the many updates bound to come will make the game even better. Monster Hunter World was quite ass from the get go.

It's got an average of 87/100 on Metacritic based on 61 critic (non-user) reviews. That is a really good score.

@jump

My point was that recent FF games sucked hard compared to the older games (FF7 remake excluded). I wouldn't trust anyone working on FF15 to sit the right way on a toilet seat.

As long as it fits the cartridge I see no issue.

Final Fantasy veteran can only be a good thing. The opposite would be the case, if he was no veteran.

Yes I would be willing. Take my money Nintendo.

Would have been awesome.

@Taya
Agree with you. MHGU is a must have for all Monster Hunter fans. It's a love letter from Capcom to all of us.

A lot of games was worth getting a Wii U for.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was one of them. What a gem.

@willi3su
Did you also do Code Veronica? The best game in the series in my opinion.

None. What's wrong with you people?

Bit Trip Flux is great

@RupeeClock
Yeah, so what have we learned from the Smoke and Sacrifice incident? Only make deals with games that are actually good games.
I purchase a lot of Limited print games, but not all of them. I am in no way a collector that must have a complete set. I only buy if the games are good and worth the coin. That's why they should think carefully about which games they actually choose to publish.

Sadly this strategy doesn't affect publishers like Limited Run Games with their open pre-orders. That also reflects their lineup. Some real crap in between.

@RupeeClock

Depends if the numbers of stock left is truthful, which I highly doubt. Super Rare Games stock usually goes to under 10% within the first hour and then stays there for weeks. Could be truthful... but I see profit from faking these numbers. Makes potential buyers dig in before thinking twice.

I have to say that I prefer the way Limited Run Games and Iam8bit does it. Open unlimited pre-orders for a set period.
I do get why other people dislike it, cause it means they don't have the games in stock and you could wait up to a year before receiving your purchase. But I've never been in a rush to play a game, so for me it's better. I do think Super Rare Games does a far better job with the extra stuff contained with each release and as I'm European too, they are cheaper for me... or was cheaper... darn Brexit.

@RupeeClock
It did say that pre-orders opened 12:00 PM CT. I don't remember if it said so directly on the site, which it should have, or if it were on their Twitter channel.

However I rushed in to get one, fearing they would sell out in minutes, but as always they're still available the following day. I'm unsure as to whether these Limited Print companies tells the truth as to how many copies actually are available. I suspect that they report a way lower number than they in fact have, just to make people enticed to buy. I don't like it at all. It's an unclean tactic. Sadly I still suffer from FOMO, so I'm always on the losing side regardless of what I do.

I quit playing after the wedding photography incident that lasted an entire month! This can't possibly be worse?

I'm sorry to say, but I liked the original Animal Crossing for Gamecube more.
New Horizon's made everything feel like a chore. Didn't like that.

10 days till Monster Hunter Rise. You all need subscribtions

The best thing is Eternal Darkness, so how can this be the next best thing?

I would love to play these, but I don't do handhelds. If they get ported to Switch, I'm there.

@Dragwhite
Thanks. This comments proves my point a couple of posts below yours. The best games are around two decades old now. It's criminal.

I never want to support EA again. They have effectively killed the sports game genré. We will never see a good football game again. Yeah, I'm actually talking world football now (soccer), not American football. Sorry for the cross-reference.

Edit: And the reason is a combination of licensing and their microtransactions.
The risks are too high and thus there are no value for other companies to try and make a game that's better than FIFA, which should no longer even be too difficult. But the licensing on clubs, players, leagues etc. puts consumers off and too many are addicted to the trading card game. When was the last time we saw a good sports game? Yeah... no one remembers. It's been that long.

This means that I will be switching back from Playstation to Xbox.
Nintendo?... They will always have a place by my side.

Friday the 13th - but don't make throwing objects go in an arch this time please.

Good. I actually like shmups, but the bullet hell ones I hate. It's hard to come buy shmups that isn't like that these days.

What's up with that "gone forever" statement? It's ridiculous. A lot of products run out of production after a while. Even physical games. If you want one, buy one from a second hand online store. That is always an option. Nothing is gone forever except the Lighthouse of Alexandria, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon etc.

@Andee
"A prequel trilogy to FFXIII with an even younger, whinier Hope as the main character"

Ha ha! Good one

@AllieKitsune
I did not know that! I thought for sure Legacy of Kain was buried. That is my all time favorite series. If someone active owns the right to this franchise, for the love of gaming, do make a sequel!

FF VI remake would be a dream come true. Arguably the best game in the entire series.

@Anti-Matter
I thoroughly enjoyed the complete FFXIII trilogy. It was a great game. Sure there were things to nitpick, mainly the absence of a true antagonist. But we came to see that it could be done even worse in FFXV, so in hindsight FFXIII was quite alright.

After putting in 400+ hours in Tri Ultimate, an additional 400+ in Generations Ultimate and just a few days ago done and dusted World for 800+ hours I should be anything but ready. This is when you pick another genré for a healthy change, right? Wrong! We're doing it all over again baby! Time to give Magnamalo a high five... to the face... with my greatsword.

If you close your eyes, you can hear Akira play the piano just like Laura did.

@Andy_Witmyer

Monster Hunter is not supposed to be easy, unless you're a pro hunter. Give it time and you will become one eventually.

@nessisonett

Great response Cheers!

I try (and want) to be both.

I don't think I suffer just one illness though. I obviously play too many hours a day from a physical health point of view. But I also suffer massively from a mental illness by purchasing more than I can play.

I have collected so many games now, that it's too late to stop. So instead I promised myself, that once this Nintendo console generation is gone I will never ever again purchase games before I actually intend to play them right there and now.
Also I promised myself that I will flip the bird at next gen and focus on catching up. I still have Commodore 64 games on the "to do list", so it's not looking good. You're welcome to root for me though
