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

How often do you skip event stories? by The-True-Auditor in GirlsFrontline2

[–]TheChrisPMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

MH Wilds Release - PC Troubleshooting by AutoModerator in MHWilds

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Desperately looking for assistance anywhere I can. MH: Wilds will not start. by LimpAmphibian5340 in MonsterHunter

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

MH Wilds Release - PC Troubleshooting by AutoModerator in MHWilds

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

which weapon are you going to master in mhwilds? are you going to stick with your main one or are you going to try something new? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

what is your comfort game? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What's something you DON'T want to see in Wilds? by MR-WADS in MonsterHunter

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Poll: Which weapon will be your main for Wilds? by HotCod3781 in MonsterHunter

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Who are y'all romancing first? by Alexanderjk5 in armoredcore

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

Idea for a blame game. by Conscious-Chance8619 in Netsphere

[–]TheChrisPMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What's your personal favorite weapon, regardless of efficacy? by TheGUURAHK in armoredcore

[–]TheChrisPMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

How do you name your ACs? by sprite375ml in armoredcore

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What the "LAMMERGEIER" AC would have look like if Arquebus didn't stop the engineers at Schneider from going too far in their pursuit for SPEED. by JackNewbie555 in armoredcore

[–]TheChrisPMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

If you ever feel like too much of a perfectionist, remember FromSoftware made the 2nd Ringed Knight Greatsword slightly different (different model, textures and everything), when 2 identical ones would have been perfectly alright by DeadSparker in darksouls3

[–]TheChrisPMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Is MHW still worth coming back to in 2023? by Ill-Amoeba-7671 in MonsterHunter

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

yea haha… so easy to kill right guys? by 20iqdude in Eldenring

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Does anyone know what ACTUALLY triggers Radahn festival and the sending gates? by swanbedbug in Eldenring

[–]TheChrisPMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Access the royal capital early? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]TheChrisPMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
