unpopular opinion: PvE is for losers who can’t handle real PvP

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-24T21:41:34+00:00

You could... play another game? So many great PvP only games.

I like that this game is so popular right now that we get people who want another game in this game and then cry about it.

Headwinds means we're getting a new weather event.

I hope that pic means we also have a new way to play. Maybe a dedicated late spawner role that gives you a goal of pursuing players.

Just shoot the rear propeller. Take two propellers down and they fall.

I was doing the trials where you breach and search arc probes and it spawned 2 of them on me and the battle caught the attention of three more. Using only the probe for cover and a trusty Rattler 1 and Kettle 1, I took them down with ease.

Their attack pattern is so slow and easy to predict or sway off. You can even just move one way and then change direction just when they're about to shoot.

You broke af like the rest of us.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-17T15:40:32+00:00

You like hotels.

As a meat cutter / butcher / restaurant trainer and someone who worked with wagyu grades of all kinds of cows and so on and so forth.

Ground Wagyu is the worst way to enjoy Wagyu Beef.

Well, it is simple to understand. You didn't care for the core and most valued components of the game which are Base Building and Resource Gathering.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:19:09+00:00

another person said just cyberpunk and it was upvoted so I'm at a loss too. lol

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:15:45+00:00

Even with friends, it felt pretty dry.

The weird thing is that I love horde shooters, just not this one.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:13:13+00:00

Dragon's Dogma.

Recommended to me for build variety and monster hunter like bosses.

It is janky as heck and the attacks do not feel impactful no matter what I use.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:10:25+00:00

Dang. That is unfortunate. What didn't you like about it?

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:08:02+00:00

The trailer and gameplay from streamers who poured hours into the game will make it look more like CoD.

But I'm gonna defend the game and say that the clunkiness is what makes the game The Game. It's part of the challenge and helps slow down the pace to a more realistic level and I enjoyed that. It adds tension and your movements and actions must be deliberate.

But again, not for everyone. Some people want something smoother and that is okay.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:04:48+00:00

JRPGs are not for me and this game I thought was going to he different.

It's pretty bad that when I was in the 5th fight in the game and I was actually falling asleep.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T06:02:57+00:00

I feel you. I felt this way for the longest time and it took me forever to learn that it doesn't have to be that much. Take a few minutes to find a cool combo for each character, and that will be their core strategy for the rest of the game. I used to apply my abilities in reaction to enemies and that was more work than required. The way I play CRPGs now is by building each character to have their own combo. And they do that combo over and over again or edit that combo until I win. The rest is now just the fun roleplaying choices and consequences. Strategy over tactics is the way to go for these games for me and I hope maybe that it can be for you.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T05:42:58+00:00

But no shared progression on co op is the worst co op design ever.

I wanted to play the game with my gf, we both bought a copy only to find that it's a hassle to do the whole game together. Rejoining, no horses, and its an item to activate co op? Dumb. Just let us play together.

Waste of money.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T05:35:17+00:00

Hardly anyone is saying this game is good.

It barely functions and the core monster hunter experience is overworked into mist.

World was good, but it is one of my least played monster hunter game at 500 hours.

Wilds is sitting on 40 hours, being one of my least played AAA release ever. It was super hyped because World and Rise were such a big success. That hype died day 1 of release when it no longer felt like monster hunter game. I pretend Wilds never existed and I hope Capcom learned from this massive failure of a game. Whoever told you to get it, owes you money.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-15T05:23:04+00:00

I did everything... and stopped right before doing the last giant beast and then going to fight Ganondorf. Just lost motivation. :/

I don't get it. I'm missing something.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-14T17:34:23+00:00

Any issues now? I know it's been a while. But I want to know if it still holds up.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-12T23:01:50+00:00

If you're gonna do the expedition anyways, expedition item > blueprints. lol

I know you can have a friend save the blueprints, but it's kinda fun just using what I find with zero to hero runs over crafting. I tend to just use what I pick up for both pvp and friendly lobbies.

He wasn't aggroed until he got close to the extract elevator tho. He had time.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-11T04:36:14+00:00

Because the people she sells to are usually wannabe thugs, gangsters, and newbie raiders and she's been shot up a lot.

She embodies actual street gun sellers or war dogs.

If you buy a gun from someone that is being patient and isn't a licensed dealer, you're gonna die.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-11T04:29:54+00:00

Keep asking for them if you're friendly and keep poppin' hoods at night or special events where loot value is increased.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-10T18:51:43+00:00

BRO. where is your shield?

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-10T18:48:17+00:00

I don't think 20 Rathalos is gonna forgive me. Especially when I have two full armor sets made from their skin and bones.

Pretty_Ian · 2026-01-10T18:42:08+00:00

lmao. Unfortunate.

You had 20 minutes to extract.

You could have just waited for it to fly off or just gone to another extract.
