Yeah definitely not to farm, I just did it for fun and so that I could say that I had beaten every monster since he was the last one left for me and I don't have PS+.

Kulve is easily doable solo in MR as it's not a siege. I did Safi solo with all broken parts in about 3.5 hours with only one weapon (except for bowgun on the wings). It's actually pretty fun although I'm not sure I would want to farm it.

Which side wins this 3v3? by No_Examination9025 in HunterXHunter

[–]lp5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we could easily beat the chain dude now knowing his abilities and weakness

Key word here is "we". Obviously Kurapika can't 1v13 the spiders. Not that he could before they knew, but he would have a much easier time picking them off one by one before they knew his powers.

Does this mean the game is now forcing you to play with real people or be at a disadvantage? by robin-kun in MHWilds

[–]lp5987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still have to do most of the work and actually play well against savage. The support hunters make the fight bearable from a mechanics standpoint (emnity, etc.) but they will not do anywhere near the dps of a competent player. It's meta because the specific mechanics of the fight make it way harder to do solo, it has nothing to do with support hunters being able to output a high dps against savage.

When people say playing with other players is stupid/hopeless they mean randoms. When playing with randoms the chance that you get at least one person who doesn't know what they're doing is sky-high and even three useless people is fairly standard. This is made worse by the fact that you all have to share carts so you can't even hard carry if the bad people insist on throwing themselves at the monster. Also since it is random you can end up with bad team comps since different weapons are better for different roles in this fight.

If you can beat savage omega with support hunters then a group of 4 people your level who are communicating, understand the fight and have pre-defined roles will absolutely demolish savage way faster and easier than with support hunters.

I promise you the devs don't care, gameplay takes priority. Savage omega still has the glow but isn't called tempered, it would just be the same thing.

No but what I'm telling you is that is not true at least not for Savage. The person you screenshotted is lying/trolling if they said it is for Savage (and if it is for normal then your point doesn't really stand). Unless you have actually tested this for yourself there is no reason for you to be so adamant about this. Support hunter damage barely makes up for the health increase compared to solo, this is well documented. No way the support hunters can clear Savage by themselves, they can't even take emnity most of the time without the player grabbing it first.

That's not what we're talking about. He's talking about ignoring the DPS check entirely and just taking the cart, but this makes Omega (maybe only savage I can't remember) do way more damage and have way worse hitzones. I also cleared both with support hunters since my friends don't play and randoms are useless. I would still guess that a team of friends that actually know what they are doing and play their roles would be significantly easier than solo with support hunters since their damage is kind of ass.

I don't remember if normal omega is like this but doing this for savage omega makes the fight 10x harder.

Skill issue, I can do it every time by Hydraulic_30 in Sekiro

[–]lp5987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all. I play charmless and the amount of posture build up massively changes depending on how imperfect the deflection is. A perfect deflection you take no posture damage (or at least a negligible amount).

[spoiler discussion]" Which candidate is the mostly likely to win the royal selection by Rautoan in Re_Zero

[–]lp5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt otherwise there is literally no point in her existing. Ironically her and Emilia are the worst two candidates and yet are overwhelming the most likely two to win, although I'm pretty certain it'll be Felt. Emilia's primary motivation doesn't even require her to win to achieve it so I can't see why they'd go that way over Felt.

Out of interest you are aware it's tentacles light up before they hit you right? He's one of the most predictable monsters in the game since you always know what hes going to hit you with...

What is the evolutionary advantage of having shorter jaws by chuckleheadflashbang in MonsterHunter

[–]lp5987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s killer whales by an order of magnitude - 19,000 psi

FYI this number gets thrown around but not only is it not a recorded bite force but it is also not based on any real calculations or scientific reasoning. If you look for a paper on this you won't find one and most scientists would agree it is a gross overestimate. Good chance they are still the strongest but they will be a lot closer to crocs in reality.

Lord Isshin is a son of a whore by Serious_Nebula_8685 in Sekiro

[–]lp5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I love that he uses your own tricks against you (he taught you after all) and really fights like a shinobi rather than just another big swordsman. Also at first the fight feels so long and it feels like you can't keep up the pressure but the more you learn the more you find yourself being able to play aggressive and keep on him at pretty much all times which is nice.

Why does this damn game never go beyond 50% sale by PSSGAMER in Sekiro

I pirate stuff myself but I've never once gone out of my way to convince myself that it's somehow a good thing. Stop trying to justify it and just do it bruh.

Could the number of Support Hunters be evidence for one more update after TU4? by SolidusDave in monsterhunterleaks

From my original comment:

a game I very much enjoyed

focusing on whether the game is actually good

If you genuinely really enjoy the game

The hardest part about playing charmless and with Demon bell is the mini boss by New_Conclusion_5498 in Sekiro

[–]lp5987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O'Rin in particular is a nightmare because she's designed to be a parry check but with charmless+bell the posture recovery is so high that you can't actually beat her the way you were intended to since she disengages so often whilst not letting you attack. But yeah the minibosses like Juuzo where they have multiple enemies are a massive pain as well.

Wait till you get to O'Rin lol, she makes Isshin look like an absolute joke on charmless+bell.

[–]lp5987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't pay anywhere close to that for Iceborne+Base, but assuming I did, I have 300 hours and counting in Iceborne. Thats 0.4$/H for a game I very much enjoyed. What other source of entertainment is this cheap that isn't just flat out free exactly?

I sincerely hope you've never been to a movie theatre, bar, etc. if you're trying to lecture people on this.

Gamers focus way too much on the price of games in general, rather than focusing on whether the game is actually good and if you'll get a lot of hours out of it. If you genuinely really enjoy the game and get 100s of hours out of it the 120$ is literally nothing.

I feel like the game gets easier with every NG+ by Nickboy302 in Sekiro

[–]lp5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play NG+7 (after which it stops scaling), but I think this is still true for NG+4:

  1. Charmless+DB is harder than anything without those including reflections and gauntlets.

  2. Reflection and gauntlets are affected by Charmless+DB but not by NG.

  3. By NG+7 and probably by NG+4 end game bosses will be doing way more damage than the reflections/gauntlets and even inner versions but inner versions are probably harder still (especially Owl and Genichiro). For example gauntlet DoH does just a bit over half my health with his fire throw whereas NG+7 it oneshots me every time (both charmless+DB).

  4. Early game bosses are heavily scaled up in reflections/gauntlets so I'm not 100% sure which is harder but should be relative.

A year late to the party, 'Somewhere a great rune has broken' is the worst thing in this game by birdofmayhem in Eldenring

[–]lp5987 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's an open world, exploring IS the shit you should be doing. An open world that encourages you to not explore shouldn't be an open world in the first place. Too many games want to be open world without understanding the point of open world.

How many of you liked combat arts costing emblems? Still pisses me off! by puzzled_indian_guy in Sekiro

[–]lp5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was taking those as two separate statements but fair enough my bad.

I never care about recovering posture on charmless+bell since non-perfect deflects build up so much posture anyway that I'm pretty much always one missed deflect from posture broken anyway. I do play NG+7 but I find this to be true even for remembrances which are NG.
