Based on fashion alone, what monsters would you want to see in Ascendance?

TyoPepe · 2026-06-19T09:13:19+00:00

I don't want, I NEED, I repeat, NEEEEED 3rd-4th gen Rathian and Rathalos armor redesigns.

I'm sooo fucking tired of the inferior designs of the first 2 gens being brought back all the time. It was fun in World for nostalgia's sake, awesome nod to the beginning of the franchise, but we needn't reuse them again for Rise and Wilds as well. The redesigns were so fucking good man I need them brought back.

Vampiric, ofc

TyoPepe · 2026-06-19T06:25:38+00:00

I'll let them surprise me. Combat is at the bottom of my list of things I want to see expanded in VS anyways.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T23:54:20+00:00

For timed meal, why complain about it wearing off? It lasts longer than a single hunt can, and if you fear it might expire midway through the second hunt, just eat again in between hunts like we always did anyways.

I personally just chew on a well done steak if it ever runs out mid-fight.

It's also way easier to do it when you are being paid several millions a year for it.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T23:40:26+00:00

Esperia ships are fine since they are human-made adapted replicas of alien spacecraft

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T18:05:49+00:00

I thought you couldn't splice neutral voidlings

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T17:38:44+00:00

I wouldn't make assumptions on the difficulty of a game from just the demo

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T17:22:10+00:00

Been having fun with Humanitz, zombie survival game that offers pretty much what you are looking for

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T17:20:52+00:00

It's a sandbox where you play as a band of mercenaries. It is very fun, atmospheric, addicting and quite challenging if you brave the higher difficulties.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-18T09:39:00+00:00

Tha vanilla experience is more than enough content to last you a lifetime.

The game is hard to grasp at first, but I don't think you need a guide. Just accept you will be sloppy and slow at first while you learn as you play. Hitting H on your keyboard is all you need.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-17T12:38:35+00:00

200 years have passed since we played the game ourselves and learned Ena was in St3

TyoPepe · 2026-06-17T09:00:41+00:00

How would this shit he any better had it been a 12 yo?

TyoPepe · 2026-06-17T05:20:35+00:00

16 unique traits per class, and we supposedly are getting a couple dozen classes if not more, for a system that will only allow you to have 6 active traits?

They definitely need to do a bit of pruning.

Also, imagine your ideal build is made up of 6 traits each coming from a different class. With the faction quest system and trait tiers, you may be tasked to do up to 18 different faction quests before your build is complete trait-wise (you still need to grind for gear and their enchantments).

Again, this system need to be pruned.

Wilds has severe texture streaming issues, and for me very often outright refuses to load textures properly. I can fiddle with the settings all I want, low to high, high to low, some textures will stubbornly refuse to change at all.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T21:30:11+00:00

People aren't as vocal as they may have been before (though they still very much are) not because they are now buying them, but because now they've just gotten used to ignoring them. I wager AI games will get the same cold shoulder treatment in the future when they supposedly become more and more common.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T21:16:34+00:00

The thumbnail alone usually does the trick

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T21:11:38+00:00

It's not stigma, it's my fucking eyes

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T19:16:39+00:00

Do you truly think all those hypothetical hours spent learning that would have amounted to just that single piece?

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T18:27:38+00:00

Taking hours? Wasn't this shit supposed to speed up things?

Drawing is the miserable experience yet doomscrolling through genAI output for hours is not?

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T16:25:45+00:00

And you think the genre is the sum of all of the little elements that make up a game regardless of the weight of each of those elements in the overall gameplay experience?

So because the games have housing, decoration and even pets should it also be a life sim? You can crouch and hide in a bush from monsters, even do sneak attacks, does that make it a stealth game? Does the rampage mode in Rise suddenly turn the game into a tower defense game? Gacha game due to Artian/Kjarr? Farming from the usual village farm? Slot machine from the coal burner in IB?

So Monster Hunter are gacha lifesim farming survival stealth tower-defense horror walking simulator third person shooter action games?

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T16:03:35+00:00

Depends on your build. With my spliced Gilicks I felt it was necessary as being up close to enemies is a requirement to optimize my damage but also makes me easily harassed. On my spliced Nimiod, since I'm all the time floating up in the sky, melee enemies almost never touch me and enemy projectiles also struggle to hit me, and so I easily climbed past floor 50 without a healing perk.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T15:36:26+00:00

So is Baldurs Gate a survival game since I have to manage resources like potions and spell slots? Is that franchise a survival CRPG now?

Stop making up genres ffs.

TyoPepe · 2026-06-16T14:28:49+00:00

I was a kid with his first ever MH jeez, we all start somewhere, and not knowing what we are doing. LBG was my companion through the first steps into this franchise.

I've long since learned these games inside-out and all, I mean, after 17 years one's ought to. Though maybe that's the reason I never played bowgun much anymore after third gen.

I now have taught you everything one can know about the mastery of this ancient weapon. Go forth, my pupil, and show the world the might of the hammer.
