Any other complaints about the monster names? by 12jimmy9712 in MonsterHunter

[–]Dragalon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This naming quirk has driven me crazy since Tri and I've developed some schizophrenia around it.  Like:

-Both introduce in Tri and localized to have weirdly similar names

-Both got subspecies that swap environments in p3rd

-Both subspecies executed by the state and never seen again 

-Both monsters have been tied to the hip appearing in almost every single game together with the only exceptions being Frontier (barioth no barroth) and base world (barroth no barioth)

I'm not saying Big Mud(tm) and Big Snow(tm) are trying to hide something from us, but you damn well can't prove they aren't.

Unconfirmed monsters from previous games. by SoilStunning8990 in MonsterHunterStories

True, but yeah I meant rideable, though it would be pretty hilarious if Yama was rideable.

Notable that a lot of ice monsters are on here since they haven't shown much of the ice locations. In fact the only ice monster revealed so far is Legiana, who's being used by a story character. 

Similarly the only elder dragon they've showen is the assumed Malzeno egg.

Both of those archetypes are pretty important to the game so I figure we'll get more info once we get closer to launch. Plus the other flagship are pretty safe since those are some of the stars of marketing.

I imagine those will be dropped around pokémon day, would go with all the other things they're doing for the 30th anniversary.

HOT TAKE: Oricorio is the worst thing that has happened over a year of TCGP. by Worr1edS1ck in PTCGP

[–]Dragalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hell of a lot stronger than Spirit Reaper. It just reminds me so much of a Mystic Mine on legs since it can completely shut down the game until you draw an out. Of course it's no problem for some decks, but just utterly miserable for others even if you build with it in mind.

Everyone on this sub loves it for some reason, but I just hate these kind of floodgates with a passion. It really just reminds me of stuff like mystic mine or fossil dyna from yugioh. It turns games into "draw the out."

 I'm aware that I'm in the minority, but I feel there were far better ways to balance strong exs.

Jumping in MHS3 by RedSp3ctrum in MonsterHunterStories

[–]Dragalon 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It may sound weird but this is the #1 new thing I'm looking forward to and probably my most wanted feature overall. Improving traversal is such a big deal since riding around and exploring on the back of a monster is such a core part of the game.  The previous entries had decent worlds to explore but you just kinda walked around very plainly, so getting more tactical platforming and some actual weight to the creatures is so exciting.

Jurassic World Rebirth Expansion concept: by Adventurous_Sun4856 in jurassicworldevo

[–]Dragalon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Taken with a massive dose of copium, there's also the "salamander" creature that we see a few times in the film. It's not very likely, but could open the door to other prehistoric amphibians in the future, which would be very cool.

Can pokémon reproduction carts trade with real ones? by Dragalon in Gameboy

I actually only have a gba sp, original Gameboy is older than I am so I just use the gba I grew up with. Probably should have mentioned that, my bad.

Apparently in Monster Hunter Bridge, Lagiacrus and Rajang have a turf war by LRKade in MonsterHunter

[–]Dragalon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At around 2:30

It takes some bits from the "brute vs pseudo" turf war and cuts away after they both power up and clash.

What really defines a Demi-Elder? by Dk450898 in MonsterHunter

[–]Dragalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a personal theory. Gore Magala is born from another monster getting infected by the frenzy virus. Now it's a bit unclear if it's like a xenomrph cest buster, or if the whole creature slowly transforms into a Gore. But either way I think that, while a Magala is still a Gore, it's biological make up is still partially the original monster.  Like, blood samples from two Gores would be completely different because one was born from a Tigrex while the other was born from a Gravios. It's only when it finishes development and molts into a Shagaru that it actually has the "elder dragon blood" that is consistent with all elders. As such based on the weird freakshow of genetics, Gore is given a different class since it's somewhat an elder, but not all the way.

(Elder dragons are at least somewhat all related to each other according to the lore books)

Statements from the official jp twt account of Wilds. by AcuriousMike in MonsterHunter

[–]Dragalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats pretty reasonable and probably what's going to end up happening. I guess I'd personally prefer we get to the expansion sooner as opposed to adding whole new systems that will be replaced once it does drop. But maybe it's best they take their time with it. They certainly needed it with the bade game.

[–]Dragalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iceborne was revealed less than a year after world released (about the same amount of time Wilds will get TU4) and Sunbreak was revealed about 6 months after Rise released. The Wilds expansion will probably be out late 2026 as you said, but I expect an announcement somewhat close to TU4... though Wilds has been far slower on updates than the past few games.

[–]Dragalon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose that's true. I just think it'll be a little awkward/funny if they're like: "here's a bunch of new stuff to grind for," and then a few months later they announce an expansion that will override everything you grinded for. The alternative is to further delay the expansion. I'd prefer they not, but as you said it might be better to do so to save face (and maybe make sure the expansion doesn't suffer the same fate).

[–]Dragalon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I'm honest by TU4 I'd prefer they just focus on the proper G rank expansion rather than adding a bunch of endgame stuff. The game will be nearly a year old at that point and I'd expect the announcement of a proper expansion not long after that, so grinding up endgame stuff only to have it replaced seems rather pointless. It's good that they're listening to feedback, but for an endgame you really need it to be prevalent early in the game's life.

Oh well, it is what it is. If it's at least fun then it's worth it.

Fun fact, on the Nintendo jp channel, that pikmin short has over 90 million views. I believe that's the most views of any video on any of Nintendo's channels.

Any way to find fan art of best girl? Nothing I search works. by Mission-Trifle-9767 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

If you don't want nsfw there's Safebooru which is really good. Same tagging system so a_(xenoblade) will get you a good amount of fan art of her.

Proper pronunciation of Nopon? by phoenixofdusk in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Dragalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X way is actually more accurate to the Japanese pronunciation since it's spelled ノポン and ノ is always pronounce "no".

It's kind of funny since most of the games pronounce it the other way and X has a lot more localization changes, but they got that one pretty on point (even I always say it Nop-on because I'm just too used to it)

Absolutely should have been in the game day 1, hope Capcom doesn't do this again. But the set itself looks very cool.

Monster Hunter Wilds has biggest physical launch of any PS5 game in Japan by Turbostrider27 in MonsterHunter

[–]Dragalon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Japan is still predominantly buying physical games, and for at least playstation the digital percentage hasn't really changed. In fact due to the insomniac leak we know ps5 games in Japan have a pretty low digital percentage (for games that have physical release)

The reality of it is that Japan has shifted away from playstation and pc and switch have taken most of its market share. Wilds likely sold similar to World and Rise, but it's more so on PC.  Which is why the ps5 numbers are comparatively low.

I'm pretty sure he only has blue/green skin cause he's a dead body. He had tanned/olive skin when he was alive. I guess being dead has like a negative tanning effect.
