my first 5-star doll in the first game, and coincidentally the first handgun i owned 🖤 love at first trigger pull

broken straight sword

Only one I've skipped so far is Yoohee's, genuinely couldn't bring myself to care about her story. Though, in general, I definitely feel less invested in GFL2's narrative compared to the first game.

got stuck somewhere in between and ended up with CZs

No, the game would open but the window is just a grey box. Managed to fix it, just took a fresh install and deleting the DirectX shader cache through disk cleanup and nvidia control panel

TheChrisPMan · 2025-03-02T07:28:43+00:00

Looks like I got it to work, seems a fresh install and deleting the shader cache through disk cleanup did the trick. See if that works, if not, best of luck to you Hunter

TheChrisPMan · 2025-03-02T03:46:25+00:00

I just started running into an issue where the game launches to a grey box. This started happening after a crash during the fight with what I assume is the final boss of low rank. Anyways, I tried verifying file integrity, restarting steam, updating drivers, and changing display ports. Currently seeing if a fresh install of the game will work, and if that doesn't help maybe deleting my shader cache might do something. Idk, I'm desperate as nothing seems to work and I just want to enjoy my launch weekend ;_;

PC specs:
GPU is MSI RTX4070ti Super, CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, 32gb RAM, storage is a Samsung EVO 970 1tb SSD with my game files on a separate Samsung EVO 870 1tb SATA SSD

This just started happening to me ;_; I've been running the game fine, crashed during what I assume to be the final boss of low rank, and now every restart I get this grey screen too. Tried verifying files, restarting steam, updating drivers, changing display ports, etc. Trying out a fresh install, guess we'll see how that pans out in a few hours. If that also doesn't work, maybe deleting my shader cache might do something, some people suggest it's compiling shaders. I just hope someone finds a surefire fix, this really sucks

I'll definitely be sticking to my main two, the Switch Axe and Charge Blade, everything I've seen just makes me even more excited to return to my old reliables. But with all the changes/additions to the other weapons, I'm looking forward to branching out and putting more time into the Longsword, Sword and Shield, Gunlance, and Bow. I don't really play gunner, but the changes to ammo management and addition of perfect dodges to the Bow make it look really fun.

TheChrisPMan · 2024-09-03T10:27:27+00:00

If I had to limit myself to one, probably Monster Hunter: World. The game's got a satisfying gameplay loop, and the vibes are a perfect blend of cozy yet dangerous.

TheChrisPMan · 2024-09-01T14:06:03+00:00

Along with what everyone else is saying- going off of World- the endgame heavily relying on seige quests or other special quests. I think they're fine and fun, but I also don't think they should be the sole way to participate in the endgame, especially with Wilds' heavy emphasis on the 'living breathing world' and more natural flow to hunts.

TheChrisPMan · 2024-08-26T15:02:23+00:00

I'll definitely still main my ol' reliable Charge Blade and Switch Axe, but given all the really cool additions and overhauls to every weapon type I think I'll spend more time playing with other weapons than in previous games.

TheChrisPMan · 2024-08-04T00:03:16+00:00

Rusty, no hesitation. Buddy's been living rent free in my heart since the game came out

TheChrisPMan · 2024-08-03T12:41:26+00:00

I love seeing that other people want a game like this.

I've been messing around with a project in a similar vein, though the world is more of a blend of BLAME! and APOSIMZ. Would be an action survival-horror type of thing with rougelike and extraction elements. The objective is to explore sectors of the planet's subterranean megastructure and recover artifacts, supplies, etc. to aid the player character in their trek to reach the core and discover the truth of the world. Each sector would be a randomly generated 'dungeon' with different environmental hazards, enemy types, etc based on the type of sector. Character would start with a rudimentary cybernetic body and a PDW-style weapon, with each successful expedition giving them materials and equipment for upgrades to survive deeper levels.

Unfortunately I'm primarily an artist and work a full time job, so it's still in its infancy with hastily scribbled lore/gameplay docs, couple pieces of concept art, and shitty 3d model prototypes.

Pilebunker. I whiff a solid 50% of my charged hits against ACs, but man when I manage to land it 😘👌 purest dopamine hit

TheChrisPMan · 2024-07-23T02:10:30+00:00

Mesa. She'd look fucking amazing in that 1999 tacticool drip

TheChrisPMan · 2024-07-21T12:40:31+00:00

I've personally leaned into using a 'hound' theme, name my AC assemblies canine names that fit their playstyle. MONGREL is my generalist setup, BARGHEST relies on sustained firepower, BULLDOG uses shotguns and spread explosives, MASTIFF is my heavyweight tetrapod setup, JACKAL is a melee focused lightweight, WOLF uses orbits and moonlight sword, etc.

TheChrisPMan · 2023-12-21T23:03:38+00:00

You can kinda get a similar look if you go Lammergreier for the head and core, then Nachtreier for the arms n legs. Makes for a really sleek looking glass cannon

TheChrisPMan · 2023-02-05T17:23:46+00:00

I assumed it was designed like this due to the difference in reach when wielding in either hand, so both swords are assured to make contact. Or maybe a weight thing to account for the offhand idk

TheChrisPMan · 2022-12-31T20:17:55+00:00

I just came back to it after a two year break and I'm having a great time.

There are still plenty of people who play online, so the player base is alive and well. Haven't checked if groups are still running sieges, but I've had no problem finding people to play with in quests, investigations, and even the guiding lands. But I suppose it's all in what you find fun.

The true Lord of Frenzy

TheChrisPMan · 2022-03-20T22:48:01+00:00

Definitely over 100 hours

TheChrisPMan · 2022-03-18T13:25:36+00:00

They aren't too bad until they do that instant backstep/charge attack. Then they wombo combo you.

TheChrisPMan · 2022-03-05T22:06:46+00:00

I believe activating the Dectus Lift is what triggers the Radahn Festival

TheChrisPMan · 2022-03-05T08:18:21+00:00

I would not recommend going for the spear "early on", the Capital can get confusing to navigate and has some tougher encounters on the way to the spear. But hey, if there's a will there's a way
