Arcade VS Cinematic

Image
                 Hello. I was watching a little bit of a video review from some YouTuber and they were talking about what a “masterpiece” World was and that obviously triggered me, so here I am! Now I’m not gonna shit on World or Wilds but I think I’ve just figured out why I like the other games better and to be fair, I don’t think I’d classify any Monster Hunter as a “masterpiece.” There’s annoying things in all of them but if you prefer the W games, that's fine but if you think versions like Rise just flat out shouldn't exist, well then you're just wrong. Wilds is definitely doing a lot of things better than World.              The character creator still annoys me. They’re getting closer with Wilds but it still doesn’t go far enough. The smallest male characters are still bigger than the biggest female characters. I want to be able to make a femboy or a muscle mommy. I don’t un...

How Many Monsters From MH3U Are Really Missing?

Image
              Hello. Monster Hunter Wilds is upon us soon, depending when I actually get this out, and I was thinking about my ceaseless screeching about Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate monsters so I decided to take a little look at the last time some of these monsters were seen.             I’ll start with the latest games and work my way backwards. Also, like I said, I took a quick look online for these, I’m sure I missed some or some may be wrong but I’m not doing this for a job so who cares? Rise/Sunbreak. In Rise we had Barroth, Barioth and Diablos, all of which were also in World but we also got the Great Wroggi, Royal Ludroth, Arzuros, Volvidon and Lagombi. I like the Great Wroggi, I like it’s armor, I remember when we first were fighting the Aknosom the Great Wroggi was around and I immediately pivoted to fight that before the Aknosom to start getting it’s armor. ...

Nintendo Charm

Image
  Hello, I thought I had made a post about this before but it doesn’t seem like it. It looks like I’ve mentioned things here and there but not all together so I’m going to try my best to coherently talk about the charm Nintendo’s games and consoles have had on me. It’s the little things that Nintendo did in their games and approaching gaming differently that got me into them. Their games have a sense of personality that most other games don’t even try to do. Okay, let’s start this mess.             When I was a wee lad I remember seeing the commercial for Smash Bros . Four characters frolicking in a field and then they start beating the crap out of each other. I knew the characters and thought it was a funny commercial but I didn’t have an N64 so I never played it. Brawl was the first game I got with my Wii and it was just such a goofy game. The items, the assist trophies, tripping for no reason, bouncing off of peoples head...

MH Wilds Beta And Expansion Speculation

Image
  Hello. The game isn’t even out yet but I already want to speculate about the inevitable expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds. Oh… I might as well talk about some other things too I guess. First thing I’ll complain about is, a while ago now I guess, they revealed that Gravios was going to be back in Wilds and people were like “omg yes!” “It’s been SOOO long” “I’ve missed you buddy” and I’m just thinking “Like, fucking what?!” Who the hell fucking likes this guy? How does this monster have fans?? You like bouncing off a monster the entire fight?? Seriously, who are these people? It’s been so long since we’ve seen him? We had Basarios in Rise/Sunbreak, they’re literally the same thing! To this day I do not know what the difference is. You know who we haven’t seen in a long time? Anyhing from Monster Hunter 3! Where’s the Gobul?! Where’s the Qurupeco?! Where’s the mother fuckin’ Gigginox???!!! RREEEEEEE. I’m never fighting those things outside of getting a checkmark on my quest log. ...

Conquest Conquered

Image
               Hello… I’m back… I finally did it… I finally beat another Fire Emblem… I stuck with Conquest and just got done with it though I did have to restart once. I ended up having to look online for a guide, especially for the beginning and look for some tips because I was technically playing it super wrong.             When I started my first run I was doing Normal/Casual I believe because I really hate going through a whole mission to lose someone right at the end and have to start the whole damn thing over. Overall I thought I was doing okay, everything was a little over my level but, *shrug* ehh? It was at Chapter 17 that I hit a wall, there were just SO many units here and it was not working out. I saw before entering the level I could change the difficulty and saw “ Phoenix ” mode and was like “What’s that?” If your unit is defeated they come back the very next turn, I don’t wan...

Future Helldivers 2 Crossovers

Image
                 Hello! Surprise! Double whammy today buddy! AREN’T. YOU. LUCKY? Just a little more things about Helldivers 2. I didn’t want to tack this on to the Mario Kart post so here it is. Just some crossover ideas and potentially new Helldiver clones.             So @NEETproxy and I were randomly talking about the black hole and Earth Defense Force and if there’s a crossover they’d come from the black hole. Most people are expecting a fourth faction to fight against to come through the black hole but what if instead that’s where crossovers come from?! I feel like I saw someone say that the black hole either DOES connect to or COULD connect to another dimension but I can’t find it. We had a Killzone crossover, I assumed because both Killzone and Helldivers are currently PlayStation owned but they now say that Killzone is canonically part of the Helldiver Universe. To me it s...

Switch 2 and Mario Kart

Image
                 Hello! Switch 2 got announced, a new Mario Kart was shown off, finally, so I get to talk about Mario Kart and the Wii and other things again! I’m sure you’re excited.             I started speculating about the next Mario Kart back in 2020 . I was hoping it would be a Double Dash 2 because it seemed like the perfect fit for the Switch. Now we have a new trailer out but it doesn’t look Double Dash like, except one thing. (Scratch that, I thought the front of Mario’s kart had three prong like things sticking out of it but looking at it again it just looks like a design. Guess that will save me some time.)             People talk about an “open world” Mario Kart but I can’t wrap my head around the idea. I don’t know what that looks like or how it would work. It’s crazy that there seems to be 24 races at a time....
