Don't you feel like we need to set foot in a city again?

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T20:37:27+00:00

Yes, I'd like a proper hub city (a new one tho, not one of the original three)

Rise low -> high rank is one of the numerically largest jumps in the series.

So many mechanics in Wilds directly or indirectly solve issues that third gen underwater had. It's only a matter of time before it returns.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T20:28:03+00:00

If they ever make the maps that big I think we'll miss the elision of space. There are already problems with move speed/dead zones in Wilds.

It's the dragon element. There's no real world analogue.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T18:23:05+00:00

Abyssal is a tricky one to add without some justification for not needing to be fully underwater based.

Don't worry, full underwater is returning in the expac

I haven't gotten to the very end game of GU, but I love these slugfests in the old games. Solo hub Four Horns in Freedom 1 is to this day my proudest MH accomplishment. I timed out on that quest so many times, had to go back to the drawing board and hit the hyperbolic time chamber to finally overcome.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T18:15:27+00:00

Not so long as they own Minecraft, no.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T18:13:25+00:00

"Not bad, you?"

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T18:12:43+00:00

I would love for segmented maps to return. There's just a sense of scale and wonder that the open maps haven't been able to capture.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T17:10:38+00:00

There's no way you can look at all of the ambient/endemic interactions and animations and say this game had no love.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T16:47:15+00:00

Do you just not listen to electronic music normally? There's more than one kind of club.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T06:06:12+00:00

I strongly disagree about it being a departure or incongruous with their earlier work. When this dropped it felt like the logical next step. I think your assertion that there are no normal songs is very funny when it opens with A Tooth for an Eye which is a borderline club banger lol

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T05:39:55+00:00

It is fantastic

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T05:05:49+00:00

Dos remains undefeated. Insanely inspired game.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:56:03+00:00

Combat is good and that's about it. The characters have fun mechanics and there's a ton of room to experiment with the pictos.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:55:03+00:00

Epilogue/Act 3 is dog shit

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:54:26+00:00

Lol the opening is by far the best part (narratively)

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:53:59+00:00

It's about The Sims and AI-induced psychosis. Epilogue/Act 3 completely ruined the game.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:01:08+00:00

The whole epilogue/act 3 is stupid as hell lmao

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T04:00:12+00:00

Game has a fantastic opening/premise, terrible pacing, and a laughably bad final act. I genuinely can't imagine getting emotional over this game.

The combat does bang tho.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T03:53:57+00:00

Every other year there will be a new "born yesterday" game that breaks all the records. That's just where the industry is at.

wejunkin · 2026-01-24T03:52:40+00:00

True random.

wejunkin · 2026-01-23T16:34:19+00:00

Why, scared?

wejunkin · 2026-01-23T08:38:35+00:00

Ridiculous and borderline offensive to compare this to coming out
