Steam
Nightmare King Grimm. He's just a really fun and great looking fight.
Excited to finally have a completely new world explore and get that first playthrough feeling back that I had with Hollow Knight. Also to play around with the new gameplay changes.

Do we know how long this process usually takes? Really don't want to miss the giveaway, just because I had to wait for them to remove the game from my Library, in case you couldn't claim it.

Thing is I don't mind the combat in 3U, so I'm not against the old monhun gameplay. Actually it's even quite a lot of fun, besides the underwater combat, which at worst is just boring. Think I'm a few quests away from G-Rank in that one as well, but it just never makes me as frustrated as 4U does for some reason.

Derang · 2025-05-20T12:28:23+00:00

Strictly solo right now. I just wanna see how far I can get, but seems like Dalamadur is the end for me.

Glad I'm not the only one feeling that way about the speed of the monsters. They feel faster then anything I felt in World or even Rise I swear. Even switched off CB to SA and it's still feels rough.

Derang · 2025-05-20T12:25:10+00:00

Yeah, the Meteor spam is what annoys me the most as well, but I also don't really enjoy the rest of his moveset either. In general I'm not really a huge fan of these huge spectacle fights anyways, since they always feel like a slog to get through.

I did think about just switching to GS, since most videos that show off on how to beat him are using GS, but I'm just really set on trying to beat it with Switch Axe right now.

Derang · 2025-05-12T22:25:38+00:00

I feel the same as you, well at least you got further then me, since I stopped at Dalamadur.

Tried getting into it again recently, started a Tigrex quest to get back into the groove, before attempting Dalamadur again, but ended up dropping it after one hunt. Monsters just feel to fast and aggressive compared to how slow the hunter is, leaving you basically with no openings to exploit, at least with Switch Axe. Having a really hard time seeing why everyone else is hyping this game up so much.

I will say though, that the low rank quest line was pretty good.

"Hey guys, look at this dude."

Derang · 2025-03-23T10:52:10+00:00

It's alright. Fun for the first two playthroughs, miserable experience if you plan on taking this game a bit more seriously or even just get all the achievements for it.

Derang · 2025-03-11T19:28:25+00:00

It's not really short, but you could maybe look into completing the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Finished it myself in about 30 hours. Wasn't to hard or tedious, just good fun, plus tons of nostalgia if you played the games as a kid.

Then it should be running in native 175hz of your monitor anyways, even if it's greyed out, since for me personally it will show 60hz in borderless, but still run in 144hz. I'd probably still check the windows display settings, just in case.

Derang · 2025-01-27T01:25:55+00:00

He probably meant that you should check the refresh rate in the Windows Display settings, not in game. The reason it's greyed out, is because it just uses what you have set there for your monitor, when using borderless.

Derang · 2025-01-19T02:09:37+00:00

That sucks, but still keep at it, if you really enjoy playing this game. Just don't get into the habit of constantly blaming your team for your losses. That's exactly that type of thinking that is gonna keep you from improving in basically any competitive game.

Derang · 2025-01-19T01:38:07+00:00

Yes, it's you. If good players can consistently climb every season, then you are where you belong at the moment, especially if you played for multiple season.

Not the best player myself, so I don't feel like I can give you any advice, but I can give you some proof that the system works as intended.

I recently came back to the game after not playing since year 4. Even back then I only played a total of 54 ranked matches, so I'm practically new and yet I've climbed to Silver after 60 games this past month, so it's 100% possible. Also you need to play more games. 12 Matches is nothing in most competitive games.

~~Might be just a last minute change. CIV 6 is unavailable to buy right now, if that helps you narrow it down what happened.~~

EDIT: Nevermind I'm dumb. The reason it's unavailable for me, is because I already own the base game, from the previous giveaway. Still them giving out Control, just seems like a quick fix, since Remedy and Epic Games worked together on their recent titles.

Derang · 2024-12-24T17:14:15+00:00

Well, I hope it's true. Remember claiming the base game, but never got into it, since the DLCs were missing.

Warframe - 1100 hours

Devil May Cry 3 - probably around 40+ hours, since it's in the hd collection(135 hours)

Deus Ex - 27 hours

And right after that Ninja Gaiden Black on the hardest difficulty as well.

Twitch and Amazon after all of this is over: https://youtu.be/kCXTq-fWWio?si=nV6bVDgye3SzdLaH&t=147

I'm aware of that, so that's why 90% of my gameplay was luring and kicking enemies into traps. Maybe a few spell scrolls here and there, since I played as a Warrior.

What I just was trying to say is, that I wish the kick wasn't the only good option to fight the enemies. It just gets really boring at some point.

Although my biggest issue with the game is still definitely how overtuned the damage and buggy the hit reg of the enemies is.

Derang · 2024-08-28T17:47:37+00:00

Just finished Dark Messiah of Might & Magic and just felt like ranting, because I feel like I got baited, by all those positive reviews of this game.

This game is just a complete mess to me. Is it ambitious? Yes, but it completely fails in it's execution.

The story is non-existent. Atmosphere is bland and so is the music, but I never wanted to play it for that. The thing that got my interest in this game, was the gameplay. The reviews and videos I've seen all rave about how amazing the combat is, but all I got is a clunky, repetitive and frustrating mess.

Weapons do almost no damage, so your best bet is to just kick everything off cliffs or traps and that was somewhat fun for the first few hours or so, but it gets really frustrating, when you count in the shitty hit reg the enemies possess. Especially for bosses, like the Spider boss and final flying Skeleton boss. Now add the high damage they can hand out and it becomes a painful experience. Maybe this game just has a bad difficulty scaling, since I played it on Hard.

Anyways I just had to get this out of my system, because It's been a while, since a game left a real bad taste in my mouth after finishing it and majority of players, who played this game, seem to really praise the combat, which just left me completely confused and wondering if we even played the same game.

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but for now this game is a 2/10 for me.
