KingSlime posted:On the other hand are there any nice improvements from 4 to XX, or even anything that is actually worse coming from 4? Structurally though they made the game a huge headache in the name of fanservice. You're constantly bouncing between the villages from previous games to check in with old NPCs that either have requests or are just stopping in to say hi. MH4 did the multiple village thing too but it was mostly a linear progression. In gen there is something to do in each village after every quest. MHXX has hella monsters though so it beats 4 on that front.

nopantsjack posted:I've only played MHW, how does it compare to the old MHs? -weapon styles -Loading screens between numbered zones (this is a double edged sword, if a mo ster is pressing you you can just go into a neighboring zone, sharpen and heal and they generally wont follow you immediately) -whetstones are finite (but incredibly common) -so are bug nets and pickaxes -instead of a slinger you just throw bombs at the monster, dung balls, flashbang, etc -no scoutflies, you run around until you find the monster then throw a paintball at him to get him to show up on your map -armor and set bonuses work differently -a shitload more monsters, quests, weapons, armor, etc -no investigations, you go into the everwood where the layout and monsters are randomized -when you drink a potion or use a consumable you stand in place until it applies. Health potions apply all your health at once but you have to stand there and go through an animation until it does. Theres a lot more but I'm forgetting some. Handheld monster hunter in a nutshell is less convenient but theres a lot more stuff in it.

I don't know how long the wait for MHW Ultimate is going to be, but unless the PC port is terrible it's going to be a day 1 buy without question, even having put 100+ hours in to MHW on the PS4 within a month of launch. I want to get XX but all of the QoL losses just make it sound so, so bad.

There's no reason they couldn't make a new joycon set with analog triggers specifically to support a gamecube package or line of ports. Maybe throw in a microphone too, for the ds/3ds/wii u games that relied on having something to blow into.

Most of the games didn't need granularity beyond "partially pressed to some extent" and "all the way down", so I think that in a lot of cases you could get away with using the left bumper as a modifier button that does a 50% press.

Nep-Nep posted:Seriously. I also think a lot of people who have been playing games for a long time often write games off as easy because of the fact that they have lots of accumulated experience playing other games that are similar, and some of these people take that for granted. Highlight for me was when I was like 3-4 and beating the first few worlds of Mario 3 which was one of my first video games. I had a really hard time and was struggling over at my babysitters but managed it. Then I remember them telling me I was holding the controller upside down  . As a pro I'm really not effected by "haha your controls are reversed gamer!" sections of platformers at all these days.

homeless snail posted:I actually think 4 is the better game. For one I don't think the hunter styles or arts actually improve the game that much, it's just kinda change for the sake of change. At worst though you can just ignore it, if you don't like styles you can just choose the one that plays like og monhun. It's like monhun rainbow edition though, weird romhack almost. 4's singleplayer content is legitimately entertaining, has amusing localization, and its presentation stomps Generations flat. When I first started out on Generations, I was struck immediately by how low effort everything outside of the gameplay itself felt. Which by itself isn't THAT big a deal, but when the gameplay in 4 still felt pretty damned solid, coupled with some really slick monster intros, Generations just felt like a boring sidegrade. I wasn't really disappointed to not be getting Ultimate on the 3DS, and I'm strongly disinclined to go back to the older games after playing World. The biggest issues for me will be losing the character mobility from World, losing the environmental interactions, the loss of MONSTER TURF WARS, and the seriously improved mounting system from World, and the now-unbearable gathering from the old games. Seriously, I dread going back to starting fresh in an older Monster Hunter, since World does a LOT to get you going supplies-wise much sooner. And lets not forget being able to switch weapons in the middle of a quest, go back to camp to resupply/eat for longer exepditions, a fast travel system between camps on utterly massive maps, or grapple hooking onto things to swing over obstacles and continue pursuing monsters. Generations had fine gameplay, but I simply did not give a drat about playing as a palico, and the styles did nothing for me. After playing world, styles feel even less important to me because every weapon in World naturally has some pretty slick options/moves available without having to select a style before your hunt, and being stuck in it (and with a weapon that might be ill-suited for your target). Admittedly, I didn't play enough Generations to see everything the 'super moves' system had to offer, but since everything else about the game was doing nothing for me I didn't feel compelled to dig deeper into that aspect. Yeah, Generations Ultimate is going to have more monsters than World currently does, but I don't care to deal with all the baggage that comes with the older games anymore. Right now, anyway. Who knows? Maybe in a few months I'll be so tired of World I'll be open to picking up GenUltimate for masochistic reasons.

Unless Nintendo allows for using Wii attachments on the Switch, The Wii/WiiU will be the best for Nintendo emulation. You can attach an official NES/SNES controller to your wiimote and play those old games. If they release an N64 classic with original controllers, that will pretty much be it. A Wii will be able to natively play pretty much every Nintendo console that came before it. Assuming the N64 controller works on the Wii. The NES and SNES ones work natively, but the N64 has two extra buttons to deal with.

Been at the mechanics for the past 5 and a half hours, real glad I brought my Switch along. The Fall part 1 got dropped on the eshop this week and I grabbed it since it was cheap and I never finished it back when I first played it years ago. Really good atmosphere and I love me some adventure games, highly recommended if you like the genre.

Moriatti posted:How easy is it to get to the Felyne part and how hard is it for a completely new player? My ability to rope in my girl depends on these facts. You can start Prowler mode almost as soon as the game gives you control at the end of the opening cinematic. Just go east to the Palico Ranch and talk to the lady in the back with the big fluffy llama. She'll help you design and recruit your first cat. Then go to the board in the middle with the pawprint design, pick the top option, and pick Change Mode. You can do this before you go on a single quest. Tah tah! You never have to be a human again. The early game does a good job of easing you into things. There's even a tutorial for Prowler. I recommend going through that. From there, you can play the entire game as a cat if you want to. It's not until you get to the super ultra post-game challenge stuff that being a cat becomes that problematic. Silver Falcon fucked around with this message at 19:29 on May 12, 2018 |

Maybe throw in a microphone too, for the ds/3ds/wii u games that relied on having something to blow into. Yeah, using gyro or other buttons could work, but that would have to be something baked into HD remakes of old GameCube ports, or require controller mapping to allow z-button access and a granularity of trigger pulls, which sounds like a pain. Even having a "half pull" trigger button isn't super easy unless you use analog stick depression or the + - buttons.

Moriatti posted:Can I play Generations exclusively co op? That is the most important to me. It's technically possible to only play multiplayer. However, the single player quests unlock a shitload of stuff. Hunter Arts, shop upgrades, some meal ingredients, some Deviant quests and some armor tickets can only be unlocked via Village quests. That said, if you progress together via multiplayer, eventually you'll have High Rank gear that would allow anyone to crush the early village stuff with ease.

Has anyone heard anything about playing Hyrule Warriors Ultimate Edition wireless co-op? Does it require two copies of the game? Does it run better than the WiiU version's co-op where not enough enemies would spawn so it made getting a high rank nearly impossible? My wife and I were thinking about each picking up a copy but I haven't heard anything about the wireless co-op except that it exists.
