| Topic | I wish there was a game just like Monster Hunter except less annoying |
| Panthera 01/10/21 9:40:33 PM #16 | The hitbox complaints are legit but at the same time pretty overblown, there's not nearly as many terrible ones as people say. Even the old 1st/2nd gen games mostly just had weird stuff where the full body of a monster hit you, there weren't that many Plesioth style invisible walls of death hitting everywhere. 3rd and 4th gen (minus a couple of really goofy ones in 4U) were pretty good in terms of hitboxes. World introduced some shitters but still was mostly fine. Comfy_Pillow posted...
Unless you're fighting pre-Iceborne Garuga this isn't really a thing. Or rather, the fact that you can make reads is a sign that their behavior is stable enough that you can know for a fact you can do certain things at certain times and not get hit. Even something like Iceborne Fatalis has some clear openings for you to mess him up once you learn where they are --- Meow! |
| Topic | The Dark Tower is probably my favorite series, but I don't like...*spoilers* |
| Panthera 01/10/21 9:27:23 AM #4 | It was kind of a lame ending, but to me the character lost a lot of its appeal in the latter portions of The Stand (the novel). For a lot of the story he's a really interesting and unsettling villain, then in the last third he just kind of turns into an incompetent loser that doesn't feel like any sort of threat anymore. Kind of a common Stephen King problem honestly, he loves having a lot of his villains just stop feeling like they're worth a damn eventually. --- Meow! |

| Topic | Anyone play the Monster Hunter Rise demo? |
| Panthera 01/09/21 7:04:01 PM #15 | In the demo you don't have the descending thrust anymore (it was shown in the trailer, the reason for that is unrevealed but leaked at this point) and the aerial X attack doesn't go straight down if you air dodge first or use the silkbind vault, so the aerial mobility is worse because you only have limited places you can land instead of being able to launch yourself and drop wherever you want along the way. Kinsects have apparently also been nerfed to either auto-attack or spread dust but not both, which isn't really that significant but still is baffling that they would do it. Bigger than the nerfs though is that the new stuff kind of sucks, the silkbind vault isn't very good with no way to drop down out of it limiting the ranges it can help you and the dodge thing is really shit, very limited iframes so you can't really use it to follow a monsters attack and end up right in front of them the way you could with Absolute Evasion in Generations, it's just a slightly better version of rolling to the side essentially. Lot of cool stuff on other weapons but Glaive didn't get any remotely good new toys to try out. --- Meow! |

| Panthera 01/09/21 4:58:43 PM #12 | Giblet_Enjoyer posted... Wow that's much lower than I expected considering you're allowed to do 30 hunts If you use each weapon for each quest, treating Great Izuchi as a warm up and Mizu as the real deal, you've used 28 of your 30 quests. So it makes sense. Not that the quest limit is a big deal, you can just delete your save data to have another 30 to work with and all you have to do is set your options the way you like again --- Meow! |
| Topic | Anyone play the Monster Hunter Rise demo? |
| Panthera 01/09/21 2:58:54 PM #5 | Giblet_Enjoyer posted... How many large monsters are in the demo? There's four. Great Izuchi and Mizutsune are your actual quest targets, but the Great Izuchi quest also has an Arzuros in it and the Mizu quest has a Rathian (as well as a Great Izuchi hanging around) --- Meow! |
| Topic | What is the BEST Buff/Positive status effect in the FF series? Omitting: |
| Panthera 01/09/21 2:14:58 PM #70 | Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... I thought as long as you only upgrade to Leonhart, with Aura it cannot proc any other finisher and you get it all the time? I'm pretty sure the weapons that unlock new finishers also unlock all previous ones if needed. Even if they don't you'd still be at 50% at best because Rough Divide (I think that's the name) is available by default, and finishers aren't guaranteed (except maybe with max crisis level) --- Meow! |

With quick thumbs Duel is the most damaging thing in FF8 by a vast margin (there's also no such thing as "building Squall to guarantee Lionheart", Lionheart is a 25% chance to trigger whenever you get a finisher, which is a random chance based on your crisis level) --- Meow! |
| Topic | Monster Hunter Rise presentation in 2 days |
| Panthera 01/08/21 8:17:42 PM #70 | Oshawottownage posted... My muscle memory from the 3ds games +the new stuff is killing me here. Yeah I've had more than a few moments of trying really hard to input moves on a different control scheme than this one. And then once I started getting the hang of it I tried a gunner weapon. Switching silkbind attacks from ZL to R only took me two entire hunts to sort of stop fucking up. mech dragon posted... Gonna download the demo now. This will be my first monster Hunter game so please give me some tips. I watched a video showcasing all the weapons from Monster Hunter World, and Insect Glaive seems to be a stand out for me. Thats still in this game right? Yes. Biggest things to know going into Monster Hunter are that it's usually pretty tough to get the hang of at first and that the combat is much more about figuring out when to do things than it is about reacting to stuff. You stay alive and do damage by learning how much time any given attack takes and how long monsters stay in certain animations so you can know which attacks you can fit into which openings while being safe at the end of it, not by expecting to press the dodge button on reaction to everything. Your roll does have iframes, but not a super generous amount and attacks generally have a bit of recovery before you can dodge, especially bigger stuff like hammer/great sword charge attacks. Once you get the hang of it it's great fun, but it can take some time to get used to since most action games are a lot more generous with iframes, cancelling out of your attacks and auto-targeting of some kind. --- Meow! |
| Topic | Monster Hunter Rise demo releasing today |
| Panthera 01/08/21 8:10:17 PM #21 | They did my boy the Glaive dirty so far lmao. But other than that I'm having a lot of fun. Especially because this version of Mizutsune is really damn good, way more aggressive and active than it was in low or even high rank probably Generations. I love Mizu and they did a great job on it here. KommunistKoala posted... does 'play solo' count towards the 30 quest limit Yes But you can just go delete your save data for the demo in order to get another 30, so in practice the limit is pretty useless and trivially bypassed. --- Meow! |

| Topic | Which FF game has the BEST Story? |
| Panthera 12/29/20 9:38:03 AM #20 | XII Tactics is a close second, it just loses a lot of steam late in chapter 4 when you leave all the interesting stuff behind to pursue bad generic fantasy shit, though even then it at least salvages things with the final scene of the ending being amazing --- Meow! |
| Topic | Final Fantasy XIII was actually good. |
| Panthera 12/29/20 6:43:41 AM #32 | Strider102 posted... I don't remember the first form of the final boss having an instant death move personally. I do remember it has a move where it crashes into the ground and leaves everyone with around 1% hp remaining, but you have enough time afterwards to heal up. It does tend to use it alot though. Oh wait it's the second form I'm thinking of. I forgot there were three parts to the fight instead of just two --- Meow! |

| Panthera 12/29/20 6:32:04 AM #26 | Strider102 posted...
Except people do. Any time that series allows enemies to have instant death abilities before you can be immune to them it becomes an infamous example of stupid game design. But generally speaking that doesn't happen too often that I can recall, and the main character has the most options by far for keeping himself alive by late in the game. Whereas in FFXIII the first form of the final boss has an instant death ability that you cannot ever be immune to that will hit around half the time even if you resist it and that it can use pretty freely. --- Meow! |

| Panthera 12/27/20 8:53:40 PM #20 | UnfairRepresent posted... If you say so FF8 Malboro is a guaranteed defeat if you encounter one without knowing in advance which status effects to be protected from. It's not tough once you know how to prepare for it but it definitely deserves its reputation, given that pretty much everyone's first experience with it is "oh hey I get to watch my guys stand around blind and confused until they die" --- Meow! |
| Topic | What is the worst (or hardest/frustrating) optional boss fight in the FF series? |
| Panthera 12/27/20 7:53:13 PM #34 | Omega Weapon is borderline unfair to a blind player (with no foreknowledge Terra Break is essentially a guaranteed kill unless you're using invincibility stuff, though you might know enough to spam limit breaks and kill it before it uses it) but pretty simple when you know about how it works since it follows a pretty strict pattern, it can throw in a couple extra regular attacks here and there but all its big moves are always used in the exact same order so you know when they're coming, and FFVIII makes it easy to be invincible at will. That's in contrast to something like Emerald WEAPON, who is even worse to a blind player (Aire Tam Storm is a 100% guaranteed total party kill without advanced knowledge of how it works) but still can put up a solid fight even when you know what it does. --- Meow! |

I don't know if it gets much of a moveset in 2nd gen but it's a solid Pokemon that I don't think people use very much because everyone is understandably biased against it due to getting tired of Zubat swarming you everywhere. AlisLandale posted... no matter how much I tell myself Im not going to, I always end up grabbing a Mareep and going all the way to the champion with Ampharos lol. I don't think Mareep is available in Crystal, which sucks. I think in Gold/Silver we all do that same thing because Mareep is one of the only 2nd gen Pokemon that is any good that isn't stupidly late or stupidly rare. --- Meow! |
| Topic | Best SMT game on 3DS? |
| Panthera 12/24/20 11:48:51 PM #3 | Devil Survivor 2 is my favourite of the bunch, followed by SMT4:A. The latter doesn't work as well without playing through SMT4 first, though it's probably not terrible to do that. 4 gets better for the most part as you go along so if you're mostly enjoying it you should stick to it. All out of those two and the two Devil Survivor games are great. I haven't played the 3DS version of Strange Journey but the original was pretty good, albeit a bit tedious at times. --- Meow! |

| Panthera 12/17/20 3:30:06 PM #159 | The answer is that it's a scam, no brain surgeon would just randomly give someone a million dollars for pointing a telescope at a planet. They're planning to harvest your brain and sell it on the black market and if you know what's good for you you'll run away before they return. If you go to the police and report it, they'll discover that it's all part of a huge organ trafficking operation the FBI has been looking into for years that goes by the name "Real Planet" and you'll be given a $1,000,000 reward for your part in bringing it down. --- Meow! |
