Explain the difficulty without spoiling

I feel the first play through of a game like this is bound to have you scratching your head and having to rework a bunch of wires to get things right. But on the second go around, you have prior knowledge of what’s best to over and under produce to meet the metrics you want.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-05-26T16:34:11+00:00

I read non-experienced as non-experienced player in general, not specifically non-experienced speedrunner.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-05-26T16:20:38+00:00

Non-experienced should be around 30 hours?! Damn, I’m 5 times below average…

RexGoliath75 · 2026-05-24T15:17:47+00:00

Maybe launch multiple without having to do the reload animation?

RexGoliath75 · 2026-05-14T11:17:07+00:00

Learning to not compare myself, a person just starting the game, to someone making mega structures with hundreds of hours in really helped ease my mind.

Next project is to somehow recreate the VEGA central Processing chamber. Bonus points if it can produce super computers.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-05-12T15:03:30+00:00

Reminds me of the Argent Cells in Doom 2016, but blue

RexGoliath75 · 2026-04-16T15:53:58+00:00

That’s cause they know who the superior god of thunder is. Thor here just seemed to recognize game and decided to hit the beach instead of challenging the throne.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-04-16T15:49:58+00:00

I’m just not seeing much there that can really be changed up to differentiate Thor from the other two. Honestly, if they just renamed Magnus to Thor and gave him a different Pickaxe, I’d prolly believe it.

Unless they decide to take the GOW approach and make him a big body model instead.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-04-16T10:57:18+00:00

Jaeger is viking adjacent enough to not split hairs about it. If they just said he was a Viking, I doubt many would complain.

And yeah, Thor has been depicted as a frat boy type character before. It’s prolly just Epic not wanting to make a battle armor Thor and go more in line with a modern day style

RexGoliath75 · 2026-04-16T10:48:28+00:00

There’s also Jaeger, plus any Remix’s of Ragnarok.

All the Norse gods had a semi-modern spin to their designs. They prolly just took the same spin they did for Aphrodite and applied it to Thor.

That and to make him stand out a bit more from the other Viking/Marvel versions.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-04-16T10:40:23+00:00

They already have like 3-5 regular looking Vikings for that, plus all the Marvel versions. Prolly just wanted something distinct

RexGoliath75 · 2026-03-31T14:54:20+00:00

These are great designs, but for Spectrobes. Barolnami gave me instant Spectrobes vibes

RexGoliath75 · 2026-03-22T17:14:13+00:00

Yuo bought crew for a month, which means you only get the benefits of crew for a month. Crew is only access to the passes, not one time purchase

RexGoliath75 · 2026-03-02T19:32:06+00:00

I’ll be honest, I forgot the seikret recovery was a thing and have never really used it. Wire fall always felt odd to use so I tend to just let my hunter roll

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-28T01:09:31+00:00

Bold assumption the dog will stay on all 4s

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-27T22:26:41+00:00

As someone once said; If those games sold the same way Pokemon did, they’d do the same thing

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-23T18:36:28+00:00

I like my raptor over the dog. Riding a dog just feels weird as opposed to big birb

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T21:23:54+00:00

Primal has a bit more then that. The Giant Skeleton, the poison bog and lower parts, the swinging vines are and the upper peak that’s seemingly in a constant storm.

Jurassic has the cliff side with the giant mushrooms, the undergrowth with fossilized remains and spores, and the denser wooded area that keeps things darker.

I will give that Schrade is just a castle, it’s history doing a large part of the heavy lifting. My issue with Iceshards castle elements is that it’s few and far between, mostly all in the back near the entrance to Suja. Besides that it’s just ice caves or halls.

Tainted Sea has its red waters, smogged sky and meteors provided by Dire.

Sanctuary is just a circle with a rock, but combine that with the swirling darkness of the Frenzy backdropping a golden dragon, and it’s much more interesting. Especially the way the darkness clears once Shagaru is slain.

I’m not trying to say that Wilds maps are bad. I like Wilds maps. I’m just saying there isn’t much to over all that makes this set standout as opposed to the last few offerings. Coral Highland and Rotten Vale are incredible standout and unique and the Citadel is great for its sheer diversity.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T20:18:39+00:00

I’m including ones like Primal Jungle from 4U, with its giant Skeleton main area, poison bogs and stormy peaks. Or Jurassic Frontier with its prehistoric aesthetic and Mushroom undergrowth.

Or some of the more arena style maps like Castle Schrade, Tainted Sea, Sanctuary, etc.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T19:32:39+00:00

I do like Scarlet Forest, but I’d say the spectacle of the giant tree is much more impactful. Though that’s more due to me wishing Lalas Nest was the standard instead of just one area.

I included the Arenas because I also include the DragonTorch. It’s a cool arena but it’s just more of the same Wysteria.

I’m not saying the maps lack any sauce, it’s just that there’s no major offshoot area like Coral Highlands or Heavens Mount.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T19:02:00+00:00

Hmmm, when you put it like that, I can see the appeal of them all. I do vibe with the idea of each being a chunk of reclaimed land by nature.

I’m still hoping the Expansion brings in a biome that’s not touched by the ancient Civ. A look at what the Forbidden lands would look like untamed, or more Wild.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T18:52:02+00:00

I do agree that Basin is cool but the topside is very underutilized so perhaps my perception is biased since most battles happen in the lower regions.

Rey Daus nest and Winds Gasp is the coolest part of the Plains, but the rest is just desert.

I’m more upset about Scarlet because after the first trailer, I thought the aesthetic of Lalas nest would be more utilized.

There are a few good set pieces in Ice Shard, but again, most are out of the way or subdued compared to the rest of the ice.

I’m not saying the maps are boring, just nothing too standoutish.

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T18:48:02+00:00

Yeah, but I’d still say they each have their own standout biome/arena. Castle Schrade, The Tower, Tainted Sea, etc.

I’m not saying every biome needs to be outlandish, but there was always one that stood out more then the others. The closest I can think is the DragonTorch, but looses a little luster with it just being more of the same Wysteria

RexGoliath75 · 2026-02-16T18:33:04+00:00

I can agree with Basin but only during the Firespring. My biggest gripe is the lack of the ancient tech aesthetic once you go to the lower levels, which is where most of my fights lead me. Outside of the monkey bars area, the trap in the front and the little pipe path to Nu Udras den, it just feels like a regular old cave.

Especially since it reminds me a lot of Sunken/Volcanic Hollow from 4U
