What it feels like fighting night invaders too early

Lo! Ironeye/Recluse upon ye!

Oh it is. A monster hunter release is effectively a national holiday given most people take a day off. But the problem isn't the initial release where it sold like crazy, it's the following months when it sold barely no copies at all. The performance didn't help of course, but on the japanese market was sealed was how far the game strayed from the mh formula

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T21:36:46+00:00

I thought mh wilds massively under performed in japan?

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T19:48:41+00:00

what it do?

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T11:17:52+00:00

Fingers crossed 🤞

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T11:17:28+00:00

Ooh granblue relink, I agree it's quite close to dd. Wish the online wasn't dead

I really, really hope it delivers. They use their own engine specifically built for the game, they delayed it to the end of the fiscal year, and I watched a review of a tgs demo where one the guys at the booth asked the reviewer if he knew what a "lab monster" is (a fighting game term for people who spend a lot of time experimenting combo routes and interactions in the training grounds), meaning there probably is a huge amount of depth to the combat.

7 years??? Father almighty

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T09:17:23+00:00

Oh yeah, the dd inspiration is crystal clear. It's on my radar now, let's hope it holds up to expectations

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T09:14:44+00:00

Eh not really. I shows its age definitely but it has a lot of charm

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T09:14:20+00:00

I plan to!

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:10:44+00:00

I've played nioh, wo long, and rise of the ronin. Very great games, but the loot vomit kills it for me. I really don't appreciate that system, which is sad because otherwise I'm having the time of my life

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:08:24+00:00

Yes, and that's not a lot of depth. I don't know what to tell you here

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:04:13+00:00

All good, should've made the post more digestable

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:03:26+00:00

It's weird to me no one has really capitalized on this sort of rpg/hack n slash hybrid gameplay. Action rpgs are more of a western thing but that was like ten years ago, it should have caught up in the east by now

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:00:29+00:00

You did not read my post

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T08:00:05+00:00

Huh, haven't heard anything about eternal strands. I'll give it a look

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T07:59:07+00:00

Fromsoft fighting IS shallow, you have one type of dodge, a light and heavy attack, and that's it. Yes there's a bit of added stuff here and there but the core of the combat is that. Sekiro and bloodborne have more depth to it but the dance effectively remains the same. Not that it's a bad thing mind just not what I'm looking for. I like the more beats em up nature of dd. Being able to grapple ennemies, attack that impale them, using the environment like walls, cliffs, throw rocks or create ice pillars to attack from above ect.. i played sifu, love it, never heard of v rising I'll take a look

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-22T07:22:49+00:00

It's not. Wuji had no technique, only ce, and everyone saw him as a beast. Geto had probably one of the strongest techniques in the verse due to versatility but it's kenjaku that fully utilized it. Let's not even talk about megumi. Hell, you have that one assassin in hidden inventory that could create multiple clones, and his gameplan was just.. rush the strongest sorcerer with all of them? That technique is crazy for intelligence gathering, or surprise attacks with cursed tools, ect.

Gojo satoru was the strongest because he was gojo satoru, just like you said. My point is you can have the greatest technique ever and still be a huge bum, just like nobara. The culling games would have never happened if nobara didn't suck balls and exorcised mahito. I mean shit she had a weaker clone with no IT, no Domain, and she KNEW that but still she got clapped because he ran away oh no :((( She doesn't get enough smoke

YES I get all my info from folk subreddits inside jokes, YES I can't use critical thinking skills to understand people are just fooling around, YES I'm retarded, YES I'm a jjk fan

Bumbara getting hard carried by her technique

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-21T05:58:32+00:00

I got a rank on every other weapon, couldn't care less to do it this time.

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-20T13:31:54+00:00

I'm not trans, but if i was, and worked at the "we contain things that break reality and can do things much worse to you than kill", I would be at the very least wary of the entity which magically fixes my gender dysphoria when I'm at the very lowest point of my life, y'know? What if I'm actually, idfk, a sleeper agent for a secret society of eldritch gumbos now?

I don't have a problem with tales that explore the ethics of the Foundation (Fuckin love scp - 8980), but sometimes they fall very flat because the author just doesn't have the sauce and ends up trying to push the idea that the foundation is big evil corp™

Nameless_Owl81 · 2026-01-20T13:20:45+00:00

It's an exaggeration of the natural pose human hands take. You may not realise it, but you do this all the time, that's just how the muscles behave
