Ok heres a good question that will help with my production
why is BB lit and MH shit
whats the main difference besides progression and crafting
and obviously visuals and story but like mechanically
I need to know
what makes people hate MonHun
or not wanna try it
primal summit
for me, marketing makes it look like not my kind of game
foggy path
I've watched some friends play it on twitch but yeah it just doesn't look that interesting to me to play myself :P
primal summit
it kinda has a first person dark pokemon vibe to me
primal summit
dunno
sleek granite
it is if he's watching the bowgun showcase hahaha
primal summit
perhaps 3d would be the better term
foggy path
at least none of the games in the series I've seen were lol
primal summit
Oh how I hate 3rd person view, for the record
sleek granite
Well the loop is - Hunt Monster -> get materials from corpse -> make better equipment -> hunt better monster
primal summit
the minecraft ore loop
sleek granite
Their hook, from what i've personally experienced and what it seems like they constantly push (content wise) is the monster designs
And number of unique monsters
sorry "u n i q u e" monsters
primal summit
what's the bloodborne loop?
foggy path
die and die? 
sleek granite
corporate needs you to find the difference
2 loops,
Explore -> kill enemies -> gain resources -> level up
Explore -> kill enemies -> unlock areas -> Explore more
primal summit
neither can fly, neither can stand on their legs, neither have physically viable locomotion capabilities, neither seem capable of consuming sufficient calories to live
they're the same
sleek granite
and in the middle its all just content for the players to experiment with
neither can fly, neither can stand on their legs, neither have physically viable locomotion capabilities, neither seem capable of consuming sufficient calories to live
they're the same
i fixed it for you

yep
but really, from a physics standpoint they're not viable

The only thing monster hunter has going for them now is gimmicky mechanics that change with every new installation and new monsters
turbid spindleBOT
:no_entry_sign: bigmacslider#3063 was banned.
sleek granite
Which is exactly what you would expect from a game called "Monster Hunter"
ok how about something abit harder
One is a bog standard garbage enemy u can beat with starter weapons in 5 minutes
the other is end game locked behind dlc
can you guess
primal summit
yellow eye end game
sleek granite
Bravo
primal summit
now, how could I tell?
primal summit
Starter content's going to have better artwork and be featured in promotional stuff, selling to the player that it's a key, giving no small endorphin boost for the victory to help you get and stay hooked, while end game content sells itself in game and thus is just a model on a generic checkered background for scale, just pulled from game files.
sleek granite
I wish i had used a different picture
BUT THE RESULT REMAINS THE SAME
CAPCOM, WORTH ALMOST 6 BILLION DOLLARS
CANT DESIGN A FREAKING UNIQUE BOSS ENEMY
There's more hope for diablo immortal than there is for monster hunter
due to the literal culture of where the IPs are managed
Japanese companies are too proud to change their formula especially if it works. Yes sure ofcourse you wouldnt change it if it works. BUT
Monster Hunter World was a breakthrough success that helped them gain mainstream attention
18million copies sold
before that the previous installment sold barely 2 million
And it was for a handheld device
which was alot more accessible and affordable
and then after the 18million success of Monster Hunter World, they released Monster Hunter Rise
21 million copies.
on a handheld device.
It was clear what the appeal of MH World was. Grounded mechanics, mid paced fights, higher than average difficulty, non gimmicky mechanics that were fun and unique that were optional
Nah lets throw all of that away and go back to weird shit that we know will only sell well specifically in the Japanese Market.
They got carried by MHWorld's success
Mark my words, if they continue to go down this path, sooner or later it'll be back to 2million copies sold worldwide - which is alot of money but given that they are a 6 billion dollar company, it's going to hit them quite hard
We went from this
to this
now if you think im being unfair with the screenshots
primal summit
NGL that first looks like not my kind of fight, too much will be obscured by details and insufficient information will be available for my skills to have a meaningful impact on the fight, beyond rote memorization
primal summit
first
primal summit
flashy graphics, huge scale, no on-screen information
again with obscuring the critical details with flashy glowing graphics
when I get near my vision's going to be hampered by high dynamic ranges and glowing fog
sleek granite
You make a fair point
primal summit
making a fight I can't make use of my skills in
primal summit
but I grew up on 90s twitch shooters
sleek granite
Heres a more fair comparison
primal summit
indeed
sleek granite
the resolution is from my garbage internet
sleek granite
But this is just a goofy amount of info
circus levels
Especially considering you play it mainly on the switch
I have heard a very persuasive argument though
that they deliberately people off
so create a situation where you go "omg did they actually listen for once"
to make you buy the game
And different people have different tastes so they just keep up that cycle until everyone finds their own specific installment they like
night grove
MHW was great, then they did some weird something to the engine on PC and tanked the performance with the ice expasion
sleek granite
and by then you're hooked onto the franchise
night grove
I tried to play MHW a couple months ago but couldn't get through the consistent and periodic lag spikes (that occur even in the "town")
sleek granite
MHW was great, then they did some weird something to the engine on PC and tanked...
Rest in peace PC gamers. Rip Bloodborne and MHW Iceborne

And different people have different tastes so they just keep up that cycle until...
If this is what they were actually doing, then well freaking played
Bravo
your company is galaxy brained

Depends on the song. Tarja was great on many songs, but over I think I prefer Floor, but there are quite a few songs that I feel suit Tarja's voice better. And only a couple for Annette IMHO.
edgy ice
i unno, im not the biggest floor fan, anyone can agree Tarja was the golden era of nightwish but i feel Annette
was overly hated
like yea she wasnt Tarja but she was solid, trained and had a pretty wide range
shy solar
Yeah she was overly hated, but was also a big vocal change for the band, very 'pop' vs Operatic which I think many preferred. Definitely a great singer.

tulip orbit
yeah I dunno, in a mood I guess. Was playing factorio this weekend, but....
I'm kinda looking at my game, where/how to get my inventory page to update when an item is picked up
cursive crypt
send event? Force widget update
tulip orbit
right now the inventory widget only has a get all inventory function, nothing to just update a single item
cursive crypt
ah... You want to update only one slot?
celest musk
i'm glad that i did minecraft modding for a few months...
i'm an inventory expert by now 😄
tulip orbit
yeah. or is it going to be much of an impact to update all the slots? each slot is a widget
cursive crypt
too lazy
But maybe measure
*first
If you have the container, you can match the item with the widget.
celest musk
make an event delegate on your inventory?!
which passes which slot got updated
the slot widgets can subscribe to it, and ignore it if it's not their slot
tulip orbit
right, event delegates. yeah, forgot that.
celest musk
or your container subscribes to it, and passes it to the correct widget
tulip orbit
on my main inventory widget I have a tmap that is itemname->widget
rather than have it iterate through each widget to check the name
celest musk
that sounds weird
cursive crypt
?
tulip orbit
yeah not sure if its needed
celest musk
so you cant have the same item twice?
cursive crypt
Stacks
tulip orbit
I hate doing the stack/slot inventory cause its a PITA. So I went with more a FF style inventory. Can hold X amount of each item
broken sigil
Oh no, run away and hide
tulip orbit
same slot? for every type of item that exists, its only one slot, can hold X amount of that item
cursive crypt
So, that a stack of X
celest musk
cursive crypt
By slot, I mean, like physical occupancy.
So, inventories design play with stacks and slots.

Yeah. I do a lot of work in ZBrush. bake them down of course but the mesh is still pretty dense sometimes and chokes my system up sometimes.
celest musk
check your memory usage, fbx import tends to use a lot of system memory with dense meshes
so it's possible that you run out of memory and it starts swapping to disk, which makes it incredible slow

idk what they have been made with, but i know for sure that 90% of them suck

When I switch active slots on my hotbar, I could just spawn a new actor for what that item is, but that seems wasteful...
especially if the player changes slots really quick back and forth
I'd like to blame my brain fart on tiredness, but I dont think thats the cause 😦

probably pretty quick, I should probably put a delay or something, maybe tie it to the equip animation

As you can imagine, don't bother optimising an actor spawn if there are enough frames in between. Especially if you have animations for pulling out the previous item for example.

Hey now what little non repetitive gameplay was there was fun! I guess for me it's one of the top games where the cinematics, environments and story are done really well. There's no doubt a lot of hard work and detail was put into it, definitely pushed the ps3 to it's limit at the time
fathom wadi
yeah it looked great for the time

It's either that or there was some kind of subluminal mind tricks going on that has tricked my mind into liking the game against my will. I keep looking back on it

I think I didn't like it because it took too long to get into it. It really was drawn out at the start with very little gameplay. The last FF game I played before that was FFX which is absolutely into the gameplay really quick
gusty star
amd q2 reports are out
thorny dock
I can 100% understand and agree with that. End game was very stupid, and throughout the whole thing the game part of the game wasn't that great. For me the environments, vfx and cinematics still stand out to this day. I don't know what hypnotics made me like the story despite hating the main characters (maybe it's "The Curse" where you hate something so much you begin to love it). I guess I don't hate the idea of the characters just their execution, presentation and visual design lol. I think the combat had some thought put into it, I like where it was going but it didn't go very far at all.
idk I guess my next FF game after 13 was 15, which I hated
I really want to go back through and replay it, when I first got it was on xbox one s, the game ran in like 120p
I feel like it deserves a chance, there were some really cool parts but I just couldn't get into it at the time
and the blonde character with the camera was annoying as shit
they made a bubbly energetic character with "one liners" but he repeats the same 4 things endlessly. I thought there was supposed to be this whole immersion factor of the "gang" interacting

@sleek granite as someone who has played and beaten every single MH game and beaten BB at least 10 times, it really depends on how you look at it.
the oldest monhun games (1,2,F,FU,Tri,3p) were all extremely clunky games that lacked proper quality of life and features that were basic and standardized at the time. i mean, we lacked the ability control the camera or even lock onto monsters. the monster designs were there but the gameplay was slow and methodical...too slow and methodical. monsters did a lot of damage, you did not, hunts stretched on for 30+ mins and if i get hit by one more fucking bullfango im going to commit violence. most fans usually skip these games bc they really are antiquated and while they genuinely do pull out the hunter part of monster hunter, the downsides make the games about as fun as the carpal tunnel you will get with the "hunter claw".
they were also the most unforgiving and least explained games, as in you knew nothing, all you did the first few ranks is collect herbs, and then you fought monster and had no idea what the hell you were doing. all you knew is there was something big and your weapon swings like a bloated whale with an eating disorder
the "golden era" of MH(3U,4,4U) had the best balance between clunk and fun, hunters had more movement, monsters actually had a ton of new moves and fights were very dynamic. the fan favorites all pretty much come from this era of MonHun. every weapon feels great, monsters are intense as all hell to fight and you never really got bored. most fans favorites are these games and can gush on and on for hours
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.
they also had antiquated mechanics we didn't like such as monsters still having frame 1 attacks, annoying monsters with armor out the ass, a pretty mid tutorial(if there even was a tutorial), mechanics were still being experimented(this was the first time we had palico/felynes/shakalaka that did anything other then throw a bomb at you sometimes) and the game still had a brutalistically steep learning curve. oh, and the hub quests still asked you to collect herbs for the first few ranks, which doesn't seem like a bad thing until you remember, first impressions are everything, and 4 introduced apex monsters which are just......not fun to fight. at all.
theres a bunch of other mechanics people may have disliked as a first timer, such a gunner armor and until worlds we had to do math to get skills because you didnt just get a skill, you got points toward a skill and didn't get a rank in said skill until you had at least +10 points in that skill
gens is gens and people generally like gens because it was wacky and wild and had all the special powers. it alienated the old fanbase because they liked the slow methodical nature, leading to a lot of complaints from oldheads(but to be fair, most oldheads have pretty bad opinions on what makes a good MH game. no, being forced to carry my pickaxes and bug nets is not good game design, no, skills do not make the game trivial.)
this game is honestly the best balance between old and new imo, because it has the wacky wild crazy woohoo of worlds/rise but is also grounded and monsters can and will kick your ass six ways into sunday if you misuse skills. this is also the single best money to game value as i think my file had over 500 hours before i actually beat the game. It still has a lot of antiquated crap from the older games but i find my friends and anyone who starts the series has a lot of fun with this game, and anyone who started with gens finds worlds/rise to be a little lame.
worlds/rise are weird because worlds had an absurd amount of new fans rolling up to the series(good) but also tried to take the series in a realistic and grounded setting(meh) and decided to add gimmicks to spice up the game such as the clutch claw, vigorwasps, a (really bad) story, multiplayer being tied to cutscenes(really bad stuff.). most MH fans from this era love actually playing worlds but they also ignore all the stuff that ruins the game as a whole, which are all valid complaints from MH detractors, such as the story being bad, multiplayer being scuffed, game being too easy, game turning PS4s into jet engines, weird lag, desync issues and the game being painfully slow. plus upgrading weapons became agony as they removed the ability to straight up craft weapons(outside a select few tied to story) and being forced to upgrade into weapons(whos designs are really boring in comparison to older titles), meaning if you are short some materials you need to hunt extra monsters just to make what you want, instead of just hunting that one monster 2 or so times to make your super bungus smasher
and rise is just.................rise. the wirebugs feel like a gimmick, monster riding is a gimmick, you get all the weapons and armor from a single hunt or maybe 2 hunts.....................................its.........................................rise.

people are like omg but the games amazeballs how can you not like it... none of em played it since 1984
edgy ice
I will argue that its important to think about the game from the era. when you take say, Dark Souls 1. the game is pretty jank, has a lot of bull that isnt fun, has some poor boss designs, and visually looks....outdated
but when it came out? it was the most unique and interesting thing out there
there really wasnt a game like Dark Souls before that
pearl elk
Ive played it recently so I can tell you the jank feels even worse then when it was new, the UI is horrible to the point its almost unusable on PC since its designed around gamepad. The UI only tells you which console buttons to press it has no understanding of PC controls
Im thinking most people used a MS gamepad but as Im a total snob I only like dual shock style 😛
Id rate Witcher 1 above it an that shit is jank too lol
so is Assassins Creed 1 now I think about it

theyre probably all great console games since most the jank is related to PC unsupport

Dark souls was always a console game, PC controls are genuinely bad, even up into elden ring.

I dont mind using a gamepad I just dont like being forced to use a specific one because the game only works properly on xinput, one of the worst things MS did unfortunately. Great idea, poor execution
camera is still jank AF in dark souls though, even Mario 64 has a better one 😛

to rise? eh. its like eating kit kats.
Didn't think anyone would respond to my rant - I read it all and yes I agree with just about everything you said. From bullfango genocide to rise being a a decent balance (except that its horribly skewed on the gimmicky side somewhat due to the wirebugs) Personally, I think wirebugs change too much of the "core pillars" of monster hunter. It introduces verticality in way that doesn't feel rewarding. It feels cheap. If you dont use wirebugs you are essentially giving up a ton of mobility and damage options. WHICH IS A GARBAGE WAY TO DO IT. Why are you forcing old players to "use it or lose it"? And it makes most fights trivial, it really blurs the lines between weapons and their specializations. The skills are so arbitrary that I can't see it not being a balance nightmare. It has literally culminated in "why bother with X weapon when I can just use longsword?" If can jump around like a god damn monkey without using the glaive then I might as well go for the option that allows me to do more damage while doing the exact same thing.
I've played every single game in the series to death too. But I found the first ever release unplayable (UX was ass but it was the first ever monhun so gotta cut it lots of slack). Really started to get into it with MHFU. Global Plesioth hipchecks aside - it really captured the "Your weapon is a part of you, use it to the fullest extent" vibe. Its just you, the monster and your expertise. Rise was the death of "personal styles" and the birth of "weapon preference with the literal CORE mechanic of wirebugs and silkbinds.
I have something to say about damage numbers too but since its actually optional, it really isn't much of a big deal. Still kind of mad that they chose to make that the default setting tho
edgy ice
i mean, ignoring how much i dislike all the frills into MHR, its still a good game, its fun, its enjoyable. just not for a long time. it gets dull quickly, thats all
but its important to understand the flaws of the series, even the old games because the old game have some shit and ive argued with plenty of oldheads about it
theres some awful stuff in those games that hampered the total overall experience. stuff that can be avoided and used for your own game development
sleek granite

I think, if Im really honest with myself. Im just mad that they're making shit tons of money by making stupid decisions.
I recommend you don't even try searching or asking for it/let alone discuss it. I was one of the people that got striked for even interacting with the subject
edgy ice
i mean, its not entirely stupid. I will concede that people new to the series like it, therefore it makes money
lol
sleek granite
@edgy ice at its core, monster hunter has an extremely solid foundation and its a ton of fun with or without the gimmicks. But with rise, its heading dangerously into the JRPG genre and quickly leaving the ARPG genre
edgy ice
and ive said it before but speed =/= bad, i would have no qualms with rise if the game forced me to wirebug to survive and monsters(esp old world monsters) stood a chance

like a parasitic mechanic that can only survive because its attached to monster hunter
edgy ice
I dont think i agree with that statement, if you are forced to use it, its a core mechanic
when i say "forced"
i mean that the game doesnt function without it
edgy ice
take the superman dive for example. you need the superman dive if you want to survive some monster attacks or if you are in danger while your weapon is sheathed
cursive crypt
Nice exit.
edgy ice
it becomes a core mechanic
sleek granite
i mean that the game doesnt function without it
But on the other hand, the game functions just fine without it aswell. You could go through the entire game not using wirebugs
but *you would have to be daft to do that
pearl elk
what if... hear me out... the core mechanic was that youre a core mechanic?
edgy ice
whoa, meta.
edgy ice
supple apex
sleek granite
You can choose different weapons but attacking is a core mechanic, so is basic locomotion. But its non negotiable, you wanna play, you get used to those. Wirebugs and silkbind skills give the players options. But its not really an option anymore if you need to use those to access certain parts of the monster if your weapon isn't naturally able to
