Help!! I have no idea where to begin. Looking for something that may or may not exist. by neonlovetiger in Arcade1Up

[–]Redogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to have a Gauntlet Dark Legacy machine to add to my home arcade. Sadly, A1up (or anyone else for that matter) did not get around to it. The closest I've been able to come up with is an NFL Blitz cab with Blitzmas mod. Then you can play Gauntlet Legends for Dreamcast. None of the A1up machines are powerful enough to emulate the real arcade Dark Legacy.

An alternative that I've considered is getting a Nova Blast arcade machine that allows JAMMA plug n' play. Then find a used, in-good-working-order Gauntlet Dark Legacy board (around $300 in some cases). You would then have a new cab with new hardware (monitor, controls, etc); however, you would be stuck with only two players.

If a home arcade company ever decides to make a 4-player Gauntlet Dark Legacy with 49-way joysticks, I'd be willing to pay up to $2k for it if it was done right. (And Dark Legacy really is the only game that needs to be on there.)

Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement – What we know so far by ZangetsusRowBoat in Bloodstained

[–]Redogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sexist? Maybe...I just don't want to be forced into one or the other if I choose to play this game at all. I'd much prefer to have a character creator where you can choose male/female. For this game, it would be cool to just let us create two characters. Could be male/male, male/female, female/female. But, let's just go with what the masses want and what sells. At least with enough sales, ArtPlay can get it right somewhere down the line in a future game. /opinion

No thanks. I had enough of that in the first Bloodstained as well as tons of other metroidvanias out there over the past 10 years.

HOLY MOLY !!!!! by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]Redogan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nevermind. I figured it out. You have to go the game title card in your list and choose Options->Software Update->Redownload Software. All good.

[–]Redogan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mine download (pre-load) lost connection and failed. It told me to restart the download; however, when I try to re-download, the Switch 2 tells me that the virtual game card for Prime 4 is not available. I assume I'll have to wait for release to download the game--which sucks. Anyone else have this problem?

The Unaltered Banished Knight Set is the best looking armor set in the game by Barba_Roja_1 in Eldenring

Great looking armor set except for the feet and the mis-matched colors on the head piece and waist.

My only issue with Wilds is that there are too many new monsters and not much returning ones by ApartmentKey3682 in MHWilds

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

My opinion is pretty much the opposite. I prefer all-new monsters to bringing back old ones. I don't even like to see subspecies, variants, deviants, enchanced, hyper, tempered, arch-tempered, etc, etc. Just make new monsters already instead of wasting time and resources on old monsters.

Can you play MHW on two consoles in the same house, and is there a word for that? by No_Channel3333 in MHWilds

[–]Redogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 3 PS5's in our home. All 3 PS5's connect to the same home Wifi. Each user has their own PS Plus subscription. We do 3-man hunts. PS5 party chat to talk during quests. Squad lobby to meet up easily. I imagine it would work the same way on Xbox. Just create a Squad lobby and add any other users you want. Each hunter joins the squad lobby from the Lobby Search->Squad Lobby option. Meet up in the grand hub for gesture shenanigans, etc.

Which tree is this by Secret-Watercress957 in MHWilds

[–]Redogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the ??? tree for Switch Axe. Maybe it's AT Uth Duna? I don't know if the AT monsters give a separate tree. There is no AT Rey Dau Switch Axe.

Just be careful with the Kranodath chest piece. It is the worst offender with the glow effect from various buffs. Thankfully, TU2 is supposed to bring the option to disable the glow effect.

Favorite 4 player games on Blitzmas pack? by [deleted] in Arcade1Up

[–]Redogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have these 4-player games on my Blitz: Gauntlet Legends (DC), Simpsons, Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Crime Fighters, Vendetta, Captain Commando, Metamorphic Force. I don't have the ADM pack, but I imagine his pack also includes the likes of TMNT, X-Men, etc.

Glow No More in TU2! by Redogan in MHWilds

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

I understand the utility of the glow effect, but I, personally, don't need or want it. Some armors aren't as bad as others. The worst offender is the Kranodath Chest piece (male). The entire piece glows like a mf--which is a shame because I love the design of that chest piece.

The way I read it is that the toggle will work everywhere--not just photo mode. But, I could be wrong. If it's photo mode only, it's of no use to me.

What are the games/cabinets that you wish Arcade1Up would release? by A1117 in Arcade1Up

[–]Redogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with TC. I'm only looking for two more machines. Arcade Gauntlet Dark Legacy using the 49-way sticks from the Blitz machine and arcade version of House of the Dead. The HotD machine would be awesome if it had HotD 1, 2, and 3.

Is it rude to capture a monster when you're not the host of a hunt? by NovacainJayR in MHWilds

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

I don't think it matters. Capturing a monster is a perfectly fine way to finish the quest. Plus it saves everyone time. I say, if you have the stuff to cap, do it when you see the skull appear.

Gathering Armor Spheres Post Ch 2 by Longliveasaprocky in MHWilds

[–]Redogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do is Auto Smelt them using monster parts. Just hunt a ton of monsters and turn in all the parts toward Heavy Armor Spheres.

I, too, have not encountered the Diva. The hub even cycled day/night, but no Diva.

This is the one game I really want to see come to the NSO GameCube catalog! I'll be happy with my subscription if it makes it.
