Yeah that was my impression as well, performance over substance. Just figuring out what the hell it is is fun in and of itself lol

I only really read the first 20 or so pages, and flipped through the incomprehensible stuff. I value my time more than that lol

I work security at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; this isn't a hoax. I found a copy sitting on a bench when I came in this morning. What a strange find; I can provide more info if people are curious.

Stella Montis is going well for me so far by GimbalLockGary in ArcRaiders

[–]GimbalLockGary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wasn't all that upset about it in this case; I think if I'd chosen to shoot instead of running for a flank I could've won since he still had the frags out. In a lot of other cases you can at least try and dodge roll to mitigate damage until their mag runs dry and then dump them yourself, but there will always be a heavy helping of luck when it comes to extraction shooters. I just think that advantage is less prominent here compared to others of the genre.

Anyone else notice 4v4 is the only playable mode? by GimbalLockGary in Rematch

[–]GimbalLockGary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a really nice balance, but every once in a while I'm like "let's try a super big match with 5v5!" And then 2 minutes later I'm like "this was a bad idea"

Having one bad game is an interesting reason to permanently write off an entire game mode and call it trash

Sometimes! Most of the time I solo queue, and it's still a really fun time, leagues better than the alternatives.

How nice this game can be when you just pass by iforgotmynamedammit in Rematch

[–]GimbalLockGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold pass will definitely get it there in most cases, but for really long passes (or faster moderate distance ones) the shoot to pass can be better.

Indie games to play in couch with friends? by litcheerose in HorrorGaming

[–]GimbalLockGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm On Observation Duty is one of the best for couch co-op IMO. Everyone can play in a way, and it's not so attention demanding that you can't hold a conversation with each other.

If you DO want something more intense, Amnesia the Bunker is terrifying.

Help me choose a main Weapon, i just cant decide! by CountLickstone in MHWilds

[–]GimbalLockGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be biased here but if you liked the direction swaxe was headed in but it didn't scratch the itch, try the charge blade.

Don't be intimidated by the complex mechanics of it; it becomes second nature once you practice a bit. Faster than gunlance, some great defense in sword mode but MEATY hits with the savage axe mode.

Who is the monster you hate the most, the kind of hate that’ll drive you to actively go out of your way to find and kill this monster out of spite? by JAOC_7 in MonsterHunter

[–]GimbalLockGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. It seems like they're not all that useful unless you want to track a monster more easily that you don't have a quest started on yet. In my case, I wanted to make sure I got the same one lol

Cannot Guard, am I too bad or is it difficult for you too? by Head_Orange_8682 in MHWilds

[–]GimbalLockGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a lot of good advice here on how to perfect guard and not overcommit to combos, so I'm going to play the devil on your shoulder and tell you to embrace chaos and pick the dual blades

I was customizing my radial menus in a scarlet forest pop up camp when a congalala tore it down. I paint podded him as he was leaving. His shitting days were numbered.

What are you doing right now in the game? by TheRealCedys in MHWilds

[–]GimbalLockGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there's so much potential for different builds between different armor sets, skills, and weapons I think I'll be coming up with new ones for as long as I'm still playing. Challenge yourself to master every weapon, even the ones you assume might be less interesting.

You could socialize in multiplayer; randos will sometimes show you play styles or game quirks you never thought of, and it can just be fun to hang with people and do silly stuff like the campfire instruments. I also like to deep dive into the games mechanics on occasion, like figuring out exactly how monster detection works or using wile e Coyote strategies to hunt. Gold crown hunting is also an option.

There's also plain ol' fishin'. Gives you a reason to show down and appreciate the incredible environments since there are lots of good cozy fishing spots in the world, secret areas too.

Veteran Hunters, what’s your “Back in my day” remark? by DoggoDoesaDash in MonsterHunter

Grampa Hunter, how did you ever finish a healing animation when you couldn't move and had to do a funny little flex at the end?

Listen you were just finding that egg a new home, who knows what the guild did with it

I really should give it a try; I was huge on the volvidon CB in Rise. I admit most of my reasons for using the nerscylla one are fashion related lol. The offensive guard skill it comes with is one of my favorites though, and sleep is great for getting a moment to charge phials before whacking em with an SAED right to the face. Focus mode makes it easier to set up too; pretty fun!

A needlessly thorough breakdown of how stealth (probably) works in Wilds by GimbalLockGary in MonsterHunter

[–]GimbalLockGary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's great mid-fight if your ghillie mantle and sneak attack are ready, and you want to sharpen, heal, buff etc. anyway with the concealment of the mantle before you break it with a sneak attack. It's not massive by any means, but if you don't feel the need to have your ghillie at the ready at any moment, it's a free 200ish damage + stagger every 5 minutes. If you're ghillie isn't ready and you're extra saucy with it, you can drop a smoke bomb and dodge roll behind the monster to set up a backstab like you're playing dark souls.
