  1. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    I've had to put Splatoon down for long stretches recently because it makes me incredibly angry. I'm normally pretty chilled out with games, but something about this one that sends me into an absolute rage.
  2. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    So what's the general consensus on the guild quests? Should I be able to solo them all, or once I catch up to my gear level, are they really mandatory multiplayer? I say that because the next quest is a Pink Rathian. I fucking hate that guy.
  3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I dunno, I got to metal gear Rex and rage quit, only to pick it up a month later and finish it. Was totally worth it, although I pretty much had gotten everything I wanted out that game by the time I reached Rex.
  4. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    I caught up Dibs. I'm HR 3 now. I'll try to do some of these quests solo and see how it goes.
  5. Deus Ex Universe

    I really hope so, those bosses were infuriating for a stealth player.
  6. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    lol I think that sounds like a good idea. After taking off my marigolds I'll grab my glaive.
  7. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Oh shit, you can't fight g-rank monsters without doing mulitplayer?! I should get my hunter rank up there.
  8. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    I'm pretty sure I wrecked my kinsect upgrade path. I was just feeding it whatever shit I had, but trying to focus on speed. Seems like I'm playing IG right, I generally go for red/white before I attack, then get yellow when I can. I always use the little monsters if they have a yellow bonus too. Oh shit I forgot about decorations, I just made a bunch of HP up and left them on some old armor. Are the Seregios weapons worth the trouble? A little bit of sharpness doesn't seem that amazing.
  9. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Yeah I got it to red no problem. I was risking damage to get the buff too! With the IG, I never know whether I should focus on getting buffs before dishing out damage, it seems like once I get one buff, I can combo, so that should be enough and the others are just bonuses.
  10. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Never really bothered figuring out the elemental stuff. I've just gone for the highest raw damage I can find to beat the shit out of a monster quickly, rather than messing around with stuff like that. Again, I have the Dark Souls mentality where I feel like I should just win by being competent at combat.
  11. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Weird, I thought the IG was kinda annoying in MP because I'm constantly missing with the kinsect due to monster aggro moving around all the time. I prefer the IG anyway! And no, my LS had explosion damage. What the point in putting the monster to sleep? Doesn't it just regain health?
  12. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Yeah I was using the LS I made because the IG feels awkward in multiplayer. Maybe I need to take my devotion to the next level and watch some pros wielding the IG to get some ideas.
  13. E3 2015

    I had exactly the opposite feeling concerning PG and Star Fox. I love Bayonetta and W101, but the shooting sequences are by far the worst parts of those games!
  14. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    It's sad, but they're just too easy now! Caravan 8/9 have been challenging, I don't know whether I should work on getting my HR up so I can do some fun multiplayer, or whether I should focus on downing all the caravans. I still have an issue with the game in that I feel like I'm playing Dark Souls. Every time I die to a monster, I don't think - shit I need gear x or gear y, it's always, I should be able to beat this. I need to stop making mistakes. Not sure if that's the right attitude, as I've not really farmed anything, but a lot of other forums I've read I see people farming monsters 30+ times for gear.
  15. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    I wasn't complaining at you! Just how all Monhun stuff is written for people who already know the basics. That's fine, it was fun. I'm still irritated that you can't get an increased HR by helping with quests. Only by being the one who instigates them. So looking through that list, in general sharpness, readiness, edge master and brutality seem like generically good stuff for both IG and LS (with the obvious Attack/Defence also). For the particular fight I'm on, Fire resist and poison resist would also help.
  16. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Yeah, I just don't know what the skills do, and if they're at all worth my time farming a monster. That link was so unhelpful. It's just a load of jargon! What the hell do all those words mean?! I tried to kill the Azure Rathalos (?) last night, and got my ass handed to me. I'm blaming my failure on sleepiness, but it seemed like a pretty difficult fight. I have trouble with the Rathaloses (????) anyway, so an extra tough one was stressful.
  17. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    I would love an "armour guide" because I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to picking armor. I just find a set with the highest defence and throw it on, which I feel is now hitting diminishing returns. I never die from one big hit anyway, it's always getting stun-locked, or making a mistake when I chug a potion.
  18. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Any time now! I wanna huuuunt.
  19. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    I might be able to. Probably around 7-9.
  20. E3 2015

    Spot on. I think the game looks kinda fun, but if it was released a few months after Metroid U/3DS people would be excited. Just like 3D World and Land leading into Captain Toad.
  21. Mass Effect Andromeda - Thumb Drive Engaged!

    If I get the same sense of Scifi-ic awe from discovering a Mass Effect Drive, I'll be happy. The original will always be one of my favourite games, but they'll have to really pull it out with this for me to be astounded. I'm sure it'll be great fun though and I'll buy anything with Mass Effect on it.
  22. E3 2015

    I disagree, I've not got a history of nostalgia with Metroid, but I have played a lot of them within a short amount of time to see the massive similarities between each one. The idea of a "mission based" Metroid doesn't make sense in terms of the Metroid series as a whole, the design theme through all the ones I've played has been exploration and discovery. What they've pitched looks like Helldivers to me. That's not to say it's a bad idea, that was a great, if not short lived game, but it's not what I associate with Metroid. Also, a Metroid without Samus? Can that ever be called a real Metroid?
  23. Nuclear Throne: Oh! I accidentally ate my gun.

    I decided to wait until it was finished, or out on consoles. Really looking forward to that moment though.
  24. That's pretty good news. I would be happy with DS just ending and FROM getting behind a completely new IP, but with how much money the Souls games make for them, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.
  25. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    That was pretty much the only reference I understood. Damnit! When will MGS2/3 go on sale?! I ignored the Xmas sale because I was still playing MGS1 and now I really regret it.
