    I pre-order games I know I’d buy on launch. Some titles I just know I’ll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.

    I’ll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.


  • Not to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.

    If you don’t like announcement teasers then don’t watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?

    It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest







  • And they were posting the same articles while Rise was out.

    Like, just pick one of the following titles for a pre-DLC monster hunter game and there’ll be low effort reporting written about it:

    • Monster Hunter game too easy!
    • Monster Hunter game too short!
    • Monster Hunter game need more monster!
    • Food videos were better in the last game!
    • Last game had better mechanics, where is xxx

    I love Wilds, think it’s the best MH game I’ve played since GU. Can’t wait for its expansion to drop. I’m ready for master rank.



  • As a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.

    Incidentally I’ve also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That’s nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.

    Basically I’m addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it’s an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn’t made me love games again.
