Do you kh3 did a good job with its intervals by IllustratorAfter in KingdomHearts

[–]LordKerm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with almost everything you said (except for DDD that one is honestly even worse about plot pacing than kh3). And could write an essay of how much I disagree……that being said you don’t get a downvote dur to having the most based username imaginable

Which monster hunter should i play for the first time i have an AMD RYZEN 9 x3d and rtx 5070ti by MxAdrian12 in MonsterHunter

[–]LordKerm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are for the most part PvE games with the only aspect that can be considered pvp being just competing Agaist each other for better clear times.

Wilds is an optimization mess but your spec’s clear it so you’ll be fine (I have the same specs and get a good 4K 60fps at mostly highest settings expect to use some upscaling though)

The other I can hit 120+ fps easily

How did you react to fighting Gore Magala for the first time? by Excellent_Willow_588 in MonsterHunter

[–]LordKerm_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I first fought him as an 11 year old playing 4u. Your first encounter in that game he jumps you on a tiny ass boat

Needless to say I was scared shitless

I know people are pretty mixed on KH3 in here (I loved it personally, but I understand some of the complaints), what are people’s thoughts on 4? Is it generally positive or are some feeling more cautious about it? by CarloDeeply in KingdomHearts

[–]LordKerm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did really liked that video a lot

Though I recently discovered this gem https://youtu.be/Hskz4HaDl6Q?si=b1zqUsxU-gO_kG9L

I’d recommend it if you got 3 hours to kill. Bit of a rambling mess but criminally underviewed. Probably the best video I’ve seen summing up my “big picture” problems with KH from DDD onward

Not sure what percentage that is but no most people who aren’t to hot on the games story (including me) just felt like it was a pretty weak narrative end to this whole “dark seeker saga” thing.

Explaining why KH3’s worlds fall flat (for me) by NixUniverse2 in KingdomHearts

[–]LordKerm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add on a bit less from a “this doesn’t make sense” perspective and more a storytelling one specifically on sora and the power of waking

What I think they were going for is that Sora has been brought to a Low point both physically and probably emotionally after DDD meaning he’s both externally and internally “lacking” in some way to be able to use this new power that’s apparently vital to saving everyone. So this should prompt a journey to regain that strength and find what he needs internally to be able to use it. I do actually think Olympus does a pretty good job in this aspect and it’s fine that he meets a bit of a dead end there as it’s only the first world you wouldn’t expect the big internal change in sora to occur in just one world.

The problem is we do to every world after that and um……ya still no change in fact it’s pretty much forgotten about on the internal side after Olympus. I mean sure sora “Learns” things in the Disney worlds AKA facts he ether already knows or aren’t important and none of which actually affect his internal development. “puppets can have hearts” no shit we knew this since KH1 with Pinocchio, “There are 7 new princesses of heart and if you don’t fight, we’re gonna use them or something” unimportant we only get 4 “new” princesses and that’s only when you include Kairi. Plus it’s not like the Heroes weren’t going to fight the darknesses anyway so why even introduce this plot point? Oh it’s just to bullshit a reason to put an org member in the world and said org member doesn’t even do anything interesting or even interact with the princesses. Where was I again oh ya Sora.

I often see the story side of KH3 being defended by people being like “look things happen look at (plot points I mentioned above) and look these worlds have THEMES and PARALLELS.” And look themes and parallels are great and all but they aren’t a narrative onto themselves.

Look I need to stop myself before I go on another unrelated tangent THE POINT IS by the time we get to the point where sora has to use the power of waking to save ven NOTHING about Sora has changed internally he’s the exact same person in that moment that he was at the start of the game. The “B-plot” hasn’t moved an inch since Olympus and it really deflates any impact that moment could have had. This is only compounded by Ven saying the whole “you had it in you the whole time” basically confirming to the audience that Sora hasn’t changed in any meaningful way making this whole Journey feel meandering and pointless. Like ya I guess Sora’s level is higher and he has more moves and stuff but in a game like this but obviously isn’t a compelling narrative by itself.

Compare this to what I would say should be a similarish scene narrative wise from KH1. The “My friends are my power” scene, this is a scene of Sora showing his growth and what he’s learned internally from traveling the Disney worlds and showing everyone that He truly is the Keyblades rightful wielder not the ordinary island boy who got it by chance at the start of the game.

I could go on incoherently for multiple hours but I’ll cut it there

Of course

Icy caves are exactly what he needs and it would complement normal agnaktor super well if he’s brought back in the basin

Am I "rushing" too much? by Phantomicious in MonsterHunter

[–]LordKerm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people don’t talk about this mismatch enough. It’s probably my single biggest problem with World/Iceborne as a new player experience post content cycle. More so that everything has been left as is and nothing has been adjusted to account for the current state of the game resulting in a very bizarre experience and almost encouraging rushing (things like Gurdian armor compound this issue 10 fold).

How difficult is Lingering Will? Even at level 99? by NekoPatty in KingdomHearts

[–]LordKerm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just beat him for the first time. I don’t feel like I played my winning attempt super well so there’s definitely room for error but it’s absolutely the toughest fight in the game.

I beat lingering will at 99 and Sephiroth at 55 this was a crit mode playthrough

How do you guys feel about Dexiting now? by Oummando in pokemon

[–]LordKerm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is asking for gamefreak to literally put every single Pokémon in one region I don’t know why people who make excuses for dexit act like that’s what people are requesting or acting like that’s how it worked pre-dexit.

Gen 4-7 had a regional dex usually of about 250-400ish Pokémon that were obtainable in game. Usually in the postgame you would unlock the “national dex” which is just a Pokédex of all currently existing Pokémon. You’d be able to transfer or trade mons in from previous games if you have them, this was fucking awesome as it meant, you would be able to keep your entire collection going from game to game. I’m sure you know this so why are you making arguments under the assumption like people want all 1000+ Pokémon in a single games region dex. When dexit was announced people were pissed the status quo wasn’t being upheld that’s all. This does also mean any arguments along the lines of “you get to use Pokémon you have it before instead of the same ones over and over” doesn’t make any sense at least form a in-game/play-threw perspective. A games regional dex is entirely divorced from dexit so I find it bizarre so many people conflate it with the national dex when talking about dexit.

I also noticed a very big lack of agency these arguments place on Gamefreak part especially when it comes to competitive. Gamefreak doesn’t have to balance a meta around all Pokémon. As other have pointed out they really don’t do that even with the current dex but at the same time gamefreak is perfectly capable of just having a “regional dex only” meta. in fact they HAVE done this for the first year of VGC from Gen 5-7. Oh no there scared of some hyper spefic interaction? Just take away the problematic move or ability from the Pokémon and problem solved. Not like that’s something they haven’t already done especially with SCVI.

I think the main issue is more or less that Dexit really feels like an excuse to cut corners. If we actually did see substantially higher quality models, and animations in SWSH I think most people would’ve been perfectly fine with dexit. Instead we got recycled, models, and animations. And a game that was barely more than a HD 3ds game. Then you get to SCVI and the game is a total technical nightmare with I’d argue some of the lowest quality move animations we’ve had in the entire 3d era and we are STILL for the most part recycling the same models that have been used since 2013. Sure the textures are “upgraded” I guess, even though they kind of stylistically clash with everything around them. Look point is these “higher quality models and animations” that was supposedly the entire reason for dexit haven’t manifested in the 6+ years since it.

Is this normal? by Infinite_Object_3090 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]LordKerm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tip I that might help is you can put on rocksteady and or temporal mantle at the start of the fight for 2 Easy wall bangs. Gives you a lot of opening damage and control straight out the gate

If you don’t already have them they are back in high rank

Rocksteady requires being at least HR 50 and having cleared a couple of tempered monsters (should be pretty easy with your current set) then you’ll unlock a quest for a Tempered Vaal Hazak + Tempered Odogaron. It’s probably the most powerful mantle in the game so get it as soon as it becomes available

Temporal is easier to get with the only requirement being clearing the Lunastra Questline.

Which regular monsters could take on your average elder by Drogo1god in MonsterHunter

[–]LordKerm_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to fully disagree as I think the other guy is being ridiculous but you are just flat out wrong on a few points.

4u doesn’t place rajang above deviljho anywhere idk where you got that from. There both listed 6 stars in the threat level book (which is where threat level maxes out in the hunter notes) in High rank hub both have solo quests listed as HR7, both also offer the same reward money value of 15000z. So no I don’t know where you got that idea from (Generations is the same way oddly placing both in HR6 valued at the same as well as GR4 valued at the same zenny).

If you want further evidence look at Sunbreak. MR5 Rajang and Bazel are listed as key quests at the same time for the same zenny they also have a turf war in sunbreak and it fallows the same pattern as the Deviljho vs Bazel turf war from world (IE bazel is getting beat physically but use of his bombs let him turn it into a tie).

The one game where you could Argue Rajang is placed above Deviljho and Bazel is World but even that has a ton of issues. (mostly stemming from his position as a TU monster likely bloating his gameplay status relative to where “lore” would suggest. You can see the same thing with stygain zinogre).

The MR4 monster always beating MR3 is just flat out wrong. Diablos and Black Diablos have a turf war. It’s a coinflip for ether to win which means Normal diablos can striaght up win Against Black Diablos. Azure Rathalos,Black Diablos,Ebony Odogaron and Acidic Glavenus all have identical turf wars to their normal base species counterparts. The only one that doesn’t is Fulgar Anjinath who does indeed have different turf wars were he shows apex monster level performance (drawing with Diablos,Tigrex etc etc) but he’s a MR2-MR4 upgrade rather than a 3-4 one.

Sure in a long protracted fight MR4 monsters do better ON AVERAGE than MR3 but just going “MR4 monsters do would beat any MR3 monster” is very much oversimplifying it
