Sounds like you got successfully trolled. The game gets substantially more forgiving after the intro, with checkpointing before bosses and stuff.

Teenage Nuer doesn’t appeal to me at all. I’m still getting it, mind, and I’m hoping it’s really different from Nier Automata, which I truly did not like. Though a lot of my dislike of N:A was from dying to the boss at the end of the intro to an unlucky juggle, and having to go back and play the whole thing again. I beat the intro the second time but it soured me on the whole thing so bad I stopped after another hour or two.

If anything, playing the prequel afterwards may give you a bigger appreciation on what happens there after you have experienced the future. Play both ASAP, though.

OgNar posted:Actually, i'm not exactly sure how ratings work. That's basically it. For some animals it's weight, for some animals it's the size of the antlers. But you can usually tell the level of trophy you'll get based on the difficulty of the animal. All species have a difficulty range and every animal will be generated with a difficulty rating within that species' range. The more difficult that animal, the better the trophy, usually. So for black bears, the maximum is 9-legendary, while yours is a 4-easy. If you hover over the trophy rating number it will show you how much you need for a silver/gold/plat etc. But even if your number is enough for a particular level, you won't get it if you don't pass the harvest check. E.g. If you shoot with the wrong ammo, you get downgraded. If you don't shoot a vital organ, you get downgraded - you're not supposed to shoot the head.

Some of the big revelations from the first game are spoiled in the second, so if you really care about maximum surprise go with Nier before Automata. But like others have said, it's not really a big deal.

Isn't there a free tier of bullets in thehunter? Even if there ain't, you'd have to work real hard to go bankrupt.

Yes, the starter rifle comes with as many as you want of soft point bullets. This may also be true with the starter pistol and shotgun. But I have actually never used either.

There was some brief mention of Dauntless earlier; how does it stack up? Since it's f2p I think I'm going to install it when I get home from work, rather than ponying up for MHW just to see if I enjoy the genre on PC more than on PS4. I looked over the weapons on the wikia, looks like the Chain Blades are the analog to MH's Dual blades

Mostly Positive as a Steam rating translates to something like 70%-ish percent positive ratings or something like that, right?

Re: theHunter:CotW talk, The Skull is the trophy for that animal, meaning by shooting it in the head you’ve lost points because you ruined the trophy. Those bears would’ve scored a lot higher had you made a cleaner/more ethical kill. The game has several criteria for “proper” kills.  * Use a gun appropriate to the target (no obliterating bunnies with a buffalo rifle) * Do not use excessive force, you lose points for shooting it more than twice (buckshot/birdshot counts this per shell, not pellet) * Keep the trophy intact (no headshots! Shooting animals in the head/spine is a terrible idea IRL, their brains are tiny and you’re more likely to inflict a horrible wound that the animal will take forever to die from in excruciating pain*) * Score a hit to the animal’s vitals (lungs, heart, liver, I think the stomach?) The animal dying quickly used to be a criteria for the trophy score but it not longer is, it does however still effect how much XP and money you get from the kill. The game is actually really good about incentivizing somewhat realistic and ethical harvesting of animals. Aside from the fact you can freely gun down entire herds in a few hours. But tag limits might be going a bit far.  * Old story I'll probably never forget from my grandpa that made sure I could never go hunting in real life, kinda gross: to keep it short, he was hunting one day in an area much like Layton and tried to shoot a moose. Unfortunately his aim was high and instead of hitting it in the vitals "Breadbasket" he hit the spine, paralyzing the poor thing's rear half. It started thrashing around with its two working front legs, screaming painfully. My grandpa tried to line up a second shot but the thing was thrashing around too much and a second shot just ended up hitting it in the intestinal area causing it even greater suffering. He ended up having to close in, draw his knife, wrestle the thing down with the help of his hunting buddy (at great risk to themselves) and knife the thing in chest to collapse its lungs to end its suffering as fast as he could (he judged trying to slash its throat too risky). He said he couldn't go hunting again for nearly a decade after that and he was tearing up retelling this. So yeah, if you ever go hunting IRL, make loving sure you give those poor animals as clean and quick a death as you can. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Sep 24, 2020 |

Been playing Rebel Galaxy Outlaw again now that it’s on Steam. It’s a good game, but it kind of plays itself too much. Yeah, the autopilot saves some time playing but makes delivery missions “accept, hold a, dock”. The fighter combat is good but the lock-on tracking is... I like it and I don’t like it, it simplifies things but it’s always the best choice. The art style and the music are still top notch and the whole thing feels a lot like first person freelancer to an extent, but a bit budget. I like it, I recommend it, but it’s not perfect. I also hate that it makes me change settings through a launcher and never lets me save them through an in game menu.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Re: theHunter:CotW talk, Most tutorials out there are from a year or more and basically boil down to telling you to shoot it in the spine, because 'in game' that was the most efficient way to kill. Which was, of course, patched out. They tweaked it so most spine shots simply do less damage. Now that I have unlocked the .270 polymer bullets I can finally move on to other maps and be able to take out bigger game when I want. The .270 soft points just weren't doing jack for me on stuff like moose unless i got a perfect heart shot. And half the time it would just run away wounded because I wasn't getting penetration. giggity OgNar fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Sep 24, 2020 |

My experience with every Monster Hunter has been "engaging if a bit grindy" until I hit G rank where the monster health and attack values skyrocket so absurdly that I can't be bothered to take it seriously anymore. I'm not failing a hunt 3-6 times, wasting ~45 minutes of my life each time, to finally succeed and get 1/5th of the materials I need for 1 piece of the new gear out of however many look worthwhile, while getting stiffed the rare drops at every possible opportunity. High rank is a nice challenge. G rank is for crazy people. That considered, I guess it's not surprising I had the best time with and spent the most time on Freedom 2.

OgNar posted:Most tutorials out there are from a year or more and basically boil down to telling you to shoot it in the spine, because 'in game' that was the most efficient way to kill. Yeah, Spine shots used to be the meta because you just had to hit vertebrae and it was an instant kill. They changed that so the only way to score an instant kill with a spine shot is to hit the spinal nerve cord itself instead of just the vertebrae and that still will lose you points because that doesn't count as a "Vitals" hit (spine shot meta was from before the Vitals requirement replaced the Quick Kill timer). The spinal cord is really tiny and if you can get a good angle at it, you've got a good angle at the "Breadbasket" and should just blast the thing in the chest anyways as its easier and gets you proper points. It was a good change, IMO. A lot of old tips & tricks videos should be taken skeptically cause a lot has changed in the game in the last year or so. And yeah, usually better penetration beats out raw damage, the deeper you can hit into the animal's body, the more organs you're likely to hit and kill it faster. The .270 is still a bit weak for reliably killing moose, your next step up should be the 7mm rifle, assuming you've got no gun packs. The 7mm is a reliable weapon for a lot of animals. The .270 is a great all-rounder though (but the 7mm is valid for everything the .270 is, with the .270's only advantage being the 7mm is a single-shot break action rifle, meaning you usually can only get a single shot in). Can you believe there was a long time in the game where the .270/7mm wasn't considered a valid/legal gun for blacktail deer? It was dumb as hell.
