Re: Soapbox: Why I Prefer Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate To World

erv

Disagree. I fell in love the moment tri came to the west.

World has everything done better - and it's more challenging too, with the tempered beasts roaming. It only kicks off the real challenge after level 50 or so, which is way late for a monster hunter.

There's nothing about the old style monster hunter I really miss, other than the non-social construction that disbands your party instead of sticking together in the hub.

Really, world is a class game. Gen ultimate is awesome, world is just better...

I really wish some of this quality game stuff would be non-pixel graphics, actual high quality visuals.

It's cute and all, but the retro pixel art rarely works for me.

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)

It's late, quite ugly, full of awesome monsters and a dated gameplay mechanic. I'm torn on it - I want to like it, but world was so, so good... I think I'll play other games and buy a new one on switch that uses the world foundations, if it releases at some point.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Urges Game Developers To Embrace Subscription-Based Services

He's right. The market is being saturated, meaning that there's an opportunity for disruption.

I value quality game experiences yet can't find them without paying upfront for them. There's more content now than hours in a day - the opposite of the brilliant n64 for instance.

As I said before, increasingly, games aren't just questioned if they're worth my money - there's a lot of good quality stuff out there - it's more a question of whether they're worth my time. This is relative to all the options out there. Multiple different, great experiences, and I have to choose as a consumer before knowing.

Music was flooded, and therefore disrupted. Any market works like that. I won't make assumptions on how it's executed, like online and yada yada. The disruption will happen, the way in which? Right now it seems to be a subscription model. Stream could be something, if it's feasible. A hybrid one, to offset volume and responsiveness calculations perhaps.

Who knows. But it will be disrupted. Nintendo is right to do it themselves and could pioneer it. We'll see if they do and in what form, though.

Thinking of picking this one up. It's a totally different experience to the rpg that octopath is which in playing now. Between those and fortnite there's your summer of gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Fortnite for me. Must admit, thinking about paladins, ys and octopath. The latter two are just daunting me from a time investment perspective right now.

I've still got horizon zero dawn to start up sometime soon, as it's one of those I missed out on.

So many great games!
