Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

@Dark Cloud I'd have to redownload Rise (and get Sunbreak, if its not free DLC.) So that's its own ask. XD

But it sounded like you enjoyed MHGU?

Though I hope you'll enjoy the experience (of Hollow Knight). As there will be times that frustrate you. But there will almost always be another path/option available to you. More so than any other game I've played in recent memory.

So, have fun getting lost and keep at it.

I've been so focused on watching other media and social life stuff, that I haven't played much lately. But, I have Tunic installed and ready to go. So I hope its gimmick/mystery gives me a similar feeling of rewarding exploration/discovery. Whenever I'm in the mood to play it.

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence Well then redownload Rise you dingus, don't you know all the cool kids these days are driving species to extinction and destroying the ecosystem?

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence Do eeet

[SleepingSilence]

@Dark Cloud You underestimate how underwhelmed I was playing Rise. :P

I'd also probably be starting back at square one content-wise. So I'd be little help in terms of doing missions either.

My friend made the same mistake buying Diablo 3 again, to force me to play it with him. And just a few sessions of that, reminded me how mind-numbing the gameplay was. (Especially when he plays the overpowered class on autopilot, and like always, I get shafted by the loot drops always going against me. Swear most console games have an obsession with screwing over the player holding the first controller.)

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence I literally just finished the village stuff in less than a day and a half, I had to start from scratch too but I really just want to play wit friends also because I refuse to go back to the grind of Warframe

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence do eeeeeeeeet

[Dark Cloud]

In other news, compared go GU I'd say Rise has the least chat interaction. I talk & get responses way more there than in Rise. :/

[SleepingSilence]

I refuse to go back to the grind of Warframe.

@Dark Cloud

I don't blame you. I'm redownloading it. But you probably won't see me playing it, until the weekend is past. So hopefully you'll manage to not grow bored of it by then. :P

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence I haven't deleted it tho I did accidentally unadd you.

[SleepingSilence]

@Dark Cloud Just PM me your Switch friend code & I'll add you again.

So I feel like a fucking insane person. But I randomly downloaded "Super Fowlst" on my phone, (the dev that made those "Dadish" platformers) and it's so adorable. Help me.

[Dark Cloud]

@Yankee you solo Rise or do multiplayer? It was fun soloing for me up til Narwa & Ibushi

@Dark Cloud

Solo 98% of the time, but willing to help out in quests if needed.

[Dark Cloud]

@Yankee Just got past HR 7 so I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do. I find changing up my gear difficult as I'm afraid I'll be weaker by changing up my kit. Might try great sword. :p

[BangoSkank]

I'd say just make whatever the hell you want. There isn't exactly a limit on much of anything. Particularly when/if you find missions that provide you with decent gear and are repeatable.

In MHW there was this one mission where you fight a...i forget names now...Big Lizard Bitch, Dodogama, and Paralyzy Lizard one after the other. It rewarded you with decent Zenny and sometimes Decorations. I got good at farming it. Used the Bandit Mantle. And chipped in Decorations so I couldn't get paralyzed or stunned.

I don't know if there is something similar to that mission or the Bandit mantle in Rise, but there's bound to be something you can run through several times to get $ or whatever the Decoration equivalent is in that game.

Plus it seems like it's basically always a good idea to experiment with other weapons if you don't just have it 100% in your mind that you are going to use X Weapon from start to finish, period.

[BangoSkank]

I can never settle on one thing. Or two things.

LS was my first and is my favorite when it's usable.
LBG helped me get through Kirin.
Lance feels amazing when it clicks with you.
Gunlance is fun but I kinda suck at using it.
HBG was fun once I could make it a monster shotgun.
Never really messed with Bow, SwitchAxe, Charge Sword or Greatsword.
Sword and Shield and Double Swords or Daggers or whatever they're called are fun but I'm terrible with them.
Bow is supposed to be good but I didn't use it.

@BangoSkank

What about the meta bro?

[Dark Cloud]

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

@Yankee

[BangoSkank]

That was probably sarcasm with the Meta, but just in case it wasn't or someone else sees that and thinks Ohhh Noooo I Gotta Go For Meta...

Half the fun is having weapons appropriate for several different situations. It's probably just about necessary for this new DLC if it's anything like MHW: Icebourne was. You gotta take advantage of every...advantage...you possibly can unless you're just a god with your weapon of choice.

The first time I played Icebourne I tried to push through past Large Ice Tiger with Pre-DLC End Game gear and it didn't work for shit. I eventually barely beat him. Second time around I had farmed up some DLC gear and some 4 Slot Gems and had a weapon that should help me. Basically some of the later stuff really really really justifies making extra weapons just to fight certain monsters or certain monster types.

At least until you get Fatalis gear and just shit on everything.

[Dark Cloud]

@BangoSkank I just have a lot of difficulty trying different gear, I'm not comfortable with change at times.
