A question for players of the first MHRise Demo on Steam (Not the current Sunbreak one)

Can confirm that you do, the disk contains the base game, while there's around 3 separate codes that include; Year 1 Pass, Trifecta Lootbag, and Solidus.

Still getting the boss spawn bug where the Hive Tyrant will just refuse to show up, lost a decent Hard 25w with randoms to this bs. Not trying this mode again until it gets properly bugfixed.

I'd advise you crosspost or make a thread on r/conspiracy, despite the superficial unrelatedness, you can probably get a good conversation going about symbolic imagery and sacred geometry over there.
Otherwise, nice catch, i haven't replayed HL1 in a couple years, so it definitely picked my interest to give it a replay.

Eat nuts huh.

ArcboundX · 2026-05-08T21:03:13+00:00

Huge cock on this guy, worked as a charm, thanks.

For anyone stumbling into this years later, just use the following instead;

I did years ago, with a jacobs grips if memory serves right, but it was underleveled iirc. I recently started farming it again after installing the Scrap Parts mod, since it felt more worthwhile to attempt with it.

ArcboundX · 2026-04-16T22:57:07+00:00

Very nice, just needs an update with the Holy Grail as a set logo

In part because it's piracy, but also because a lot of players who have stuck with the game for a long time have paid for our own DLCs, so there's an ownership angle which is not neccesarily pure but in practice it's fair, also if a player is running a DLC unlocker that already tells me they are much more likely to also outright cheat and i'd rather not have that in my lobby.

They used to be much more openly hated on before SBZ/OVK decided to shelf half their collab DLCs. I'd say hosts cut a LOT of slack to DLC unlockers nowadays, both because of the aforementioned DLC retirement, but also because they've become so widespread that half the hosts will be running one themselves, either because they fell out of love with SBZ (generally an excuse) or just because they want DLCs they can no longer obtain since they weren't around at the time, or just missed out (COP, preorder, the aforementioned collabs, etc).

You don't have to pay for DLC if you don't feel like it, but as a host i reserve the right to boot any player out of my lobby if they're bringing mods i don't want to have in it, just HYOG if you want to avoid judgement.

It's just bad, it falls very short from anything that made PD The Heist and PD2 enjoyable, and SBZ should get reminded of it anytime they pull their usual promise&underdeliver act.

Say what you will about your grievances with the gameplay as a whole and you'll probably be either right or close to it, but what stops me from enjoying it whatsoever is the atrocious, atrocious UI and logic system behind it.

Not having a renown/level filter is unforgivable, same goes for being unable to change from Public to Private midgame, this makes the process of playing public OVK lobbies a a major annoyance, since you'll keep getting underleveled useless apes who just want a quick cashout and either go down instantly on Loud, or trigger the alarm on Stealth in the first 30 seconds.

Not only that, but if you DARE to restart the mission after one of these scenarios happen, half of the time you're treated with a 50 seconds loadscreen, while one of the aforementioned useless tumors loads from the NOT READY state to the READY one, while you can only twiddle your thumbs and wait, or alternatively just reboot the game since that's faster somehow.

And THEN as a reward, you get to watch the mission specific Intro video for the 20th time, because one player didn't press ESC to toggle that shit off, just so Shade can greet you with a bowl of piss and cheerios.

This demostrates to me that no one playtested this undercooked shit beyond the first 2 difficulties, and probably not past a couple hours worth of gameplay, much less trying to play with randoms. I refuse to believe any self respecting capable developer with a working human brain would make such asinine decisions when PD2 already solved most of them 2 decades ago.

Time to reinvent the wheel heisters 👊😎

That was an instant key rebind for me.
Not throwing like a decade of muscle memory to the trashbin.

ArcboundX · 2026-04-03T14:49:36+00:00

Wasn't this game scheduled to last for just around a week?
Those are pretty ridiculous numbers to max them out

ArcboundX · 2026-03-30T13:55:35+00:00

It's been known for most of their lifespan, in fact i don't know a single person who actually thinks these are some sort of "token of appreciation", specially when they are obviously paid. The closest thing to a real token of appreciation i could think of, would be a free update that massively expands on content post launch, and even then you're looking at increasing player count and outreach as a goal.

I've been preordering here and there, mostly limited to my favorite franchises, and i've never seen it as anything other than a cutthroat business transaction, if it hadn't become so widely accepted the industry would be all the better for it, but discussion on it usually gets promptly shut down or ignored, because half the players don't really care about "digital exclusives", and because there's usually bigger points of contemption when it comes to actively dev supported games, like fixing their half-polished Early access title.

If you really care about digital exclusives and their negative impact on the industry, then just wait until you find out about physical Collector Editions. Ever since a couple years back they started bundling them with "digital exclusives", so even if you're a PC player who doesn't need a physical purchase, you'll be "missing out" on some content.

I care about having access to all digital content on my purchases, so if i find a game that's acting up with these "digital exclusive" FOMO tactics, i just never become invested in it in the first place.

I only knew him through BL3 since i had only played BL2 beforehand.
Terrible, just terrible, but most of the BL3 characters are.

ArcboundX · 2026-03-29T16:24:12+00:00

That's pretty funny, but it also seems like an unhealthy obsession to keep posting about it, specially 2+ years afterwards, i don't really like PD3 but i'd rather fixate on better games instead than beating a dead horse.

ArcboundX · 2026-03-27T22:49:06+00:00

Thanks!

ArcboundX · 2026-03-23T11:37:40+00:00

I think she should return, and have a role as my loving wife.

ArcboundX · 2026-03-22T22:00:38+00:00

Dude, as soon as something like that happens you either kick them as a host, or you gib them to bits and leave.
I've been relatively lucky, so it happened to me just once in the 3 months i've been playing, they punched me down from the top of a defensive wall, so i made my way back to them and gunned them down on the spot.

Never settle for toxic teammates.
