I think the whole discourse about people watching games over playing them is emblematic of how a lot of people want to be part of the conversation while it's hot and fresh, FOMO basically, but they don't want to put in the work to bring anything meaningful to the conversation.

@Argorok323 @selensome @SamuelCatsy I think you're both missing the forest for the trees here. The premise is that yeah someone can theoretically beat all of Worldborne without forging armor, but that does not mean that it was made as some optional system to interact with as opposed to a core part of the game loop.

@selensome @SamuelCatsy @DiceHey Tf are you on about, fatalis isnt DLC. You dont have to pay for fatalis to be in the game. He is a title update and those are free and implemented into every copy of monster hunter so you are already wrong. he is the final boss of world not shara.

MH fans piss me off: a mechanic being "optional" doesn't mean it can't warp the design of other elements(or that said elements weren't designed with the optional mechanic in mind) literally the series with multiple weapons where you can play the entire game with just your fav

@selensome @Argorok323 @SamuelCatsy They were just adding to Catsy's point. Someone completing that challenge run may show that upgrading gear is "optional", but it would be a silly statement to make in defense of some problem that armor upgrading creates, especially when the devs want you to engage with it.

@Argorok323 @SamuelCatsy @DiceHey yet people have done it, so whats your point. ive seen a completed challenge run of world where they didnt upgrade gear, i think it was Shepard that did it.

@Nakatsu1178 @arturontheradio It undermines the positioning element of the combat, makes it far more reactive and than proactive, which was a key element that has been gradually sanded down. There are ripple effects to this that you are sweeping under the rug. This is no evolution, it's regression.

@AestheticGamer1 Yeah, I've never understood what it was about the cast that gets people so fervently defensive about them. The way a good chunk of the fanbase speaks about them, you'd think the cast's writing was modern Shakespeare or something.

(3/3) character writing has gotten better over the course of the series (some few ups & downs). But I don't think I'd ever recommend RE to someone who's looking for good stories & characters. I get being endeared to them from good games, but they're not what makes RE good imo.

(1/3) Okay, I already know some Resident Evil fans will have a bone to pick w/me, but ARE the characters & stories the thing everyone loves most from the RE games? While I have fondness for them, if I had to name the 5 best things about RE, I don't think either would make the cut
My Retro Life@myretrolifeshow

The problem with a Resident Evil movie not following the characters from the franchise... The characters and their story are why we love the games. Without Chris & Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, or Leon Kennedy and Wesker... Resident Evil just becomes another Zombie flick.

Far too much focus on endgame since 5th Gen. Getting to G Rank used to be an adventure/experience all its own, but the introduction of stuff like Defender gear makes it feel like Capcom is trying to onboard people as fast as possible. Makes the holistic experience much weaker.

Do you feel anything has been lacking in Monster Hunter recently? When I say "recently," I'm not strictly talking about 6th Gen. It can also be 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, and or 5th Gen.

To elaborate on my first sentence, how much time has passed between viewings, what's your state of mind, what's the purpose of this second viewing? Are you watching it again for the hell of it or specifically looking for certain things? All of that will paint your second viewing.

Dog no one is expecting you to play these games all at once or even in one sitting. There's plenty of people with kids and full time jobs who still manage to find time for these games. Please stop making such bad excuses & especially stop using the AI Overview to make your point.

You are intentionally choosing to engage less with a game, experiencing it firsthand through another's eyes as opposed to your own. You're denying yourself emergent elements based on your own reactions to things. Recognize how radically different and lesser your engagement is.

I think the problem we have here is a lot of people not knowing their place. You only want to experience a game through YouTube videos? Alright, fine, but don't act like your opinion on the overall game has equal or greater weight over someone who actually played the damn thing.

@BannedDino I will forever champion Switch Skills. Iceborne hit a moveset bloat imo and I'm very much opposed to adding brand new weapon types in (I think it'd cause nothing but problems), but Switch Skills can breathe in new life to these weapon types while also retaining their identities.

Are there any systems/mechanics you would like to see further experimented with? It doesn't matter which game/games. Are there any systems/mechanics from past games you would like to see in Wilds? How would you update/change them for Wilds?

What are your thoughts on the equipment (Weapon & Armor) skills as of late? What are some of your favorite and least favorite skills? If you had the power to, how would you change some skills? Would you get rid of some of them? Do you want negative skills to return?

@BannedDino I want them to cut down skills big time going forward (no way that's happening in the expansion though), negative skills are a great way of cutting down the bloat too.

@BannedDino I fuck with weapon skills as a concept for giving each weapon long term viability and uniqueness but it feels undermined by just how many skills we can put on our armor. That's my big issue, the skill bloat is just insane and this is just a base game too.

Do you feel your favorite weapon (GS, SnS, Bowgun, etc) needs something more? What is your favorite and least favorite iteration of said weapon? Is there a weapon you want to use but have been hesitant about trying? Does it need something more/less to convince you?

@Hinahaii Personally I think this is all indicative of a massive identity crisis the series has progressively been struggling with since 5th gen and it's no more clear than in the game design which is shakier now than ever.

@Hinahaii That's a whole other can of worms there, the push for greater ecology but also not giving any incentive for the player to engross themselves in it, despite the immense amount of manpower it required.

Can someone legitimately tell me how is an optional feature in seikret being detrimental to the whole "hunting" the monster part because I genuinely cannot comprehend how people cant just not use it You can even hide the ui if you want to, run around and find the monster
