Re: Soapbox: Chasing The 'Real' Monster Hunter Rise Ending Has Restored My Faith In Online Gaming

Hunter Rank 100 or bust my friend. The best fight in the game is the Crimson Valstrax. Whose unlock comes saddled with the aforementioned Hunter Rank 100. I’m a glaive main and I just reached level 301. I’m addicted. Don’t deny yourself the Valstrax fight. It’s awesome and it’s ambush attack will strike fear into even the most battle hardened Monster Hunter. My newest claim to “fame”, I took down the Advanced Valstrax, by my onesies, with zero faints and no buffs. Only health. 17mins 57secs.

@Anachronism can’t fault you for that. I used the rivet shot extensively. This was a triple shot of arrows, with grenades strapped to them, that only went off when they got hit. I would stick a chain of them, from foot to head, into what ever monster. Then I would do a dashing slash at the bottom arrow, to set off a chain reaction. It would be like, 18 - 20 rapid fire explosions across the whole body. No monster appreciated this move, but I sure did. It made me giggle.

Re: Video: The Switch eShop Is Bad, And It's Making Us Sad

Yes, the lack of music, makes the shopping experience, a bit joyless. I agree. The lag when scrolling down through, is in fact, horrendous. No user rating system is dumb. And to those who just don’t understand these and other complaints… if ever Nintendo does decide to change these things, you will be quietly appreciative of us complainers. We’ve made your lives better. You’re welcome.

@Octorok385 word my friend. Word. I’ll be flying those unfriendly skies as well. I just taught my buddy (who’s been a long sword main) the glaive. Listening to him giggle and exclaiming “oh my God! That was so dope! Wait wait wait, how did I do that? Hold on, I gotta get this..” He’s thrilled. He says he does prefer the power of the long sword, but the fight is nowhere near as fun as the glaive and that he’s found his new main. Don’t sleep on the glaive y’all. FUN

Once Nintendo decides to turn this phone app, into an actual game, I’m sure I’ll have very little to complain about. Right now, there’s been a whole lot of bowling, a smattering of Badminton and tiny bit of Tennis… all of which have been accompanied by an entire mountain of wailing, regarding the dearth of features this app provides.

Re: Nintendo Updates Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Game Page With Stunning New Artwork

Realness

Two things, 1: I hope the battle system is a little less convoluted than XC2. Even though, once you finally get the hang of it, it’s cool. And…

2: All game journalists need a thesaurus. Specifically regarding the over use of the word “stunning”. Watch, now that you’ve read this, you will see a stunning abundance of the use of stunning. That word and “slammed” need to be eliminated from professional use, until further notice.

Re: Feature: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?

Realness

Super Metroid alone, obligates me to say SNES. That was the 1st game that gave me real emotions ( other than, frustration or anger ) and cemented the idea, that video games are in fact more than just silly games. They’re art

Edit: the ending sequence, from when you 1st the encounter the Metroids, to when you fly away from an exploding planet, was an incredible roller coaster ride. Mother Brain killed my baby. When I heard the Metroid cry out before dying, I was devastated, like she killed my cat and sought immediate revenge. I’ll never forget it. I actually cried, pointed at the screen and yelled “ your F’n DEAD B$&@#!!!” The music kicked in, the Hyper Beam turned on and furiously lit her murderous a&& up. Then, just as I was calming down… a self destruct timer! Oh crap! My ship is waaaay back there Go Go GO!!! Yeah, it was sensory overload and I walked away dizzy from the experience. Amazing
