pres_madagascar 01/29/18 5:56:53 PM #83 | Leanaunfurled posted... The monsters are where the difficulty/challenge is, there's nothing difficult about grinding or RNG, artificial or not. Nor is it easy. It's just there, it's neutral, it's luck-based, and for many, it's enjoyable. Not if rng hates you in every game like it's sentient and you owe it money. --- |

EA isn't just going to flush more than half it's consumer base. Get real. Madden and Star Wars will still be available on both consoles. There might be more exclusive content for XBox players in those games, but that's it. This --- |

pres_madagascar 01/29/18 3:58:21 PM #74 | Cookie Bag posted... First time in my life i see anyone call monster hunter "Artificial difficulty", you're memeing right? just because it "looks" like dark souls and all? right? No not at all. Dark souls doesn't have artificial difficulty. It's not difficult at all. Challenging in spots, but not difficult. Even though i don't mind grinding, I've always believed that grinding/low RNG chance stuff tends to artifically pad out length and add to "difficulty". As there many different kinds of difficulty. --- |

They seem vulnerable to an acquisition and they'd be saving them from Vivendi. EA is a better fit though. Never in a million years would Rockstar go single platform exclusive again.

pres_madagascar 01/29/18 3:13:28 PM #53 | Leanaunfurled posted... I don't agree with the artificial difficulty statement at all. Plenty of new players are having trouble at the beginning of MH games, World included. Of course people who are veterans and have been playing for hundreds of hours aren't going to have that kind of wall... I can see that being true. I started the souls series with demon souls way back on ps3. So I never had too much trouble with dark souls 1-3 or bloodborne. I knew what I was going into. So I can understand --- |

pres_madagascar 01/29/18 3:00:56 PM #76 | TheBiggerWiggle posted... I picked up the GotY for like 5 bucks around 2 years ago. Even still today it was the only DA game I've played. Most of the time I had no idea what I was doing or why, and just following quest markers. I did end up beating it and I did enjoy it. I didn't like it enough to go back and play the other DA games though. Origins is the only other one worth playing. And it'd an entirely different experience between pc and console. The console versions play more like a non turn based kotor. The pc version plays more like baldurs gate. --- |

Already farther than I got last time. Just playing on Hard with no other difficulty modifiers and going a lot smoother and more enjoyable than the first go at it. Going with the female elf mage since that seems to be the prevailing recommendation for best story. While I agree, it's worth seeing at least once. --- |
