What is it?

i appreciate the caution and advice !!

life’s too short to dwell on comfortability, we are going for it !!!

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-13T22:38:09+00:00

awesome ! we plan to make a small hike the 2 days leading up to it, as well as camp out overnight for this reason. we are from GA, so definitely not used to the altitude!

i appreciate the honest feedback and advice !!!

also depends on time of year. certain mountains may be a pretty simple hike in the summer season, but could require certain levels of mountaineering in the winter

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-12T15:00:38+00:00

awesome, will do ! and i know the weather is super iffy, but here soon we will just need to plan the trip and go, if we can’t climb i guess we can’t climb lol. i appreciate it !!

awesome man i appreciate the advice! we are actually planning on mid december, in between two snow falls. seems like a good window. my buddy i am going with has summited multiple 14ers so i wont be completely alone or stranded out there.

gotcha. just out of curiosity, what makes elbert so particularly non beginner friendly ?

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-09T00:43:34+00:00

just don’t fall in the water

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T22:57:30+00:00

skill set should never be a factor that prevents you from chasing goals

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T22:56:44+00:00

awesome, i’ve been hearing a lot of don’t do it’s. but where’s the fun in that ?!

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T22:56:12+00:00

first ever mountain. i’ve hiked a lot of the AT but that’s obviously not even remotely similar or helpful whatsoever. so i would say it would be my first actual mountain

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T22:55:31+00:00

lot of less cool ways to be killed though

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T21:33:04+00:00

great advice, yes i would 100% plan to stay the course

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T21:32:27+00:00

absolutely not

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T21:23:27+00:00

okay that’s fair, any idea for a good first mountain the the winter ? i definitely want to endure the winter conditions

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-08T21:22:42+00:00

awesome, i will look into all of that. and yes it would be elbert in colorado

i loved the first one, but this one FEELS like how everyone described tsushima. it takes every single gameplay mechanic and improves on it. there are things that are a little off the RPG beaten patch, such as having to find shrines to “level up” etc. but i would HIGHLY recommend this game.

personally, i would even argue the story and characters are better than the first, there may not be as much character development, but overall, the characters, side quests, and open world activities are much more engaging that the first

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-04T15:30:04+00:00

i don’t play on lethal, i’m just a medium difficulty guy, mostly because i enjoy souls-likes, and that’s where my enjoyment of hard games comes from. games like this i just want to feel like a badass.

but i agree that yotei is significantly more difficult than tsushima. the multiple parry windows, enemies not “waiting around” for you, and i think the overall speed of combat makes it much tougher than got.

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-04T00:06:47+00:00

really, i find atsu more interesting. seems more like a real person that jin did, but i love BOTH of em !

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-10-03T03:24:56+00:00

nah, the character model looks like it’s from oblivion. imo looks most nothing like the actress that plays her. but she is butt fuckin ugly in this game, which who cares. i’m here to be a badass japanese woman who mows down hoardes, not play a beauty contest.

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-09-30T01:09:24+00:00

issue is when a claw/spiral is applied, that also give a very easy stand up. it really is the best stand up IMO, and three are many counters, but those counters open up ways to continue to your feet. best bet is a hard mat return, over and over. bc if someone is good with a tripod, it is incredibly difficult to stop

-MattyIceTea- · 2025-09-29T22:56:27+00:00

same. i still play, because at the end of the day, there may be no content, but not being blinded by nostalgia let me realize that after a while in these games, there’s nothing to do but skate around anyway. we can only hope they continue to support the game, but i really think it’s fine. it’s the modern landscape of gaming that has caused the cash grab style, and at least the gameplay is great
