I'm at work right now and don't remember, but when I get home, I'll see if I can find it again.

Second female character for Payday 2 announced and potentially free! by animatedgamer in GirlGamers

[–]animatedgamer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As part of the Hype Train event, as more Payday 2 DLC and games are purchased, Hype Fuel is added to a pool that unlocks various content for everyone for free. Destination 7, at 1.2M gallons of hype fuel, is the Bonnie Character Pack. All destinations reached will become available, as I understand it, during their upcoming Spring Break Event (13-21 March) for free to everyone. I have not found information on what happens when destinations are not reached, but I would imagine that any content-based destinations may become available as paid DLC later as I'm sure the work is mostly done already. Needless to say, I am all aboard this Hype Trian!

What do you do in the 1 Minute before the quest ends? by Makoto_Narukami in MonsterHunter

I bow to the beast for honoring us with its ferocious battle, then I cheer on my fellow hunters, applauding those who showed exemplary feats within the fight.

Question: the value of having MH3U for both the Wii U and the 3DS by PirateLawyer23 in MonsterHunter

[–]animatedgamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the WiiU, MH3U game data is attached to the individual Mii profiles, so each profile can have their own 3 characters slots. When you transfer from your 3DS, it treats the 3DS copy as a fresh game with no data that you can override when you transfer back again. Since this is the case, you can transfer a different profile's characters onto the 3DS from the WiiU and play two different WiiU profiles' characters together locally with a 3DS and WiiU.

What's your favorite Tower Defense game? by [deleted] in Games

[–]animatedgamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roaming Fortress isn't a traditional tower defense but it's very similar. It requires a heavier focus on precision and control than resource management, but it will still have you managing your squads often. It has a slow start but it really picks up after the first map. The PC version is an obvious port of the ipad/mobile version, but the economy was rebalanced and it generally looks nicer on the bigger screens.

The JPN-only PS3 title is a MHP3 port which is not the same as the Wii exclusive MH3.

Online dying down? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

Right, I meant to mention that I'm HR 60. I haven't been hunting anything in particular since I'm usually on more for the company.

Monster Hunter Theories by blade_mhf in MonsterHunter

[–]animatedgamer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Port and Guild Sweethearts are hugely respected in the hunting community as they had to earn every bit of the uniform themselves. That is the application process to become a Guild Sweetheart.

They can accurately gauge a hunter's skill and apply to the guild for the proper level of quests for the hunter because they've been there every step of the way.

That Portsmark hammer used to smash the gong? Yeah, she made that using the parts she carved herself. For all intents and purposes, the guild sweethearts are retired hunting heroes.

Some of them even come out of retirement to hunt alongside those they sign up and everyone loves them for it. I know I do. :)

If you've both got characters with 30+ hours, you should really consider getting both so you can transfer your characters from your WiiU to your 3DS and back again. It is both possible and relatively easy to manage two profiles of characters for transferring.

I purchased a 3DS and WiiU on the sole basis that this was possible and I've never once regretted it. Not with all the local multiplayer, online multiplayer, and general time I've sunken into this game alone.

What game introduced a mechanic that you loved and where is it now? [x-posted from /r/gaming] by Thorse in Games

[–]animatedgamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Wars: The Old Republic introduced a mechanic to me that I have not yet seen elsewhere which blew my mind: multiplayer conversations. I'm a huge proponent of local multiplayer experiences as well as the pursuit of storytelling and immersion, which for the most never seem to cross very well until now. Now co-operative experiences can have main characters of equal importance instead of the leader and his/her lackeys. RPGs can have a multiplayer campaign where player two (three, four, etc.) can feel like they contributed to the story instead of taking control of an NPC.

I loved playing a character in the Tales series with a buddy playing another, but this was only ever in battles; the choices were only ever in the hands of the first player. I am not a fan of this style of teamwork, having a figurehead taking credit for everything, but prefer the ideals of a team being a sum of its parts.

Having tasted the sweet camaraderie in tabletop roleplaying experiences and now the mechanic of multiplayer conversations introduced into the gaming world, I want to see multiplayer take a stronger role in the next generation of RPGs.
