I thought it was cute that the ghosts have the same eyes as Coco.
I always thought Coco was supposed to be some sort of haunted doll, but turns out she's just a coconut.
I've always been interested in Monster Hunter, and after a little bit of googling, it seems like most consider World to be the best beginner point.
I've already watched a bunch of videos about beginners tips, reviews for the game, and every weapon explained. I thought the Insect Glaive was right for me, but after actual getting into the training room, turns out I really like the Switch Axe. Using the grappling hook to latch on and use my big explosion ultimate move is my favorite.
I'll be totally honest, I am pretty bad at videogames. There are plenty of games that I just hit a roadblock in because I suck. And I hear that may be a problem for me, especially since the next mission in story progression is the Anjanath, and I hear soon after is the Diablos.
So my question is basically, If i spend a decent amount of time doing side missions, collecting crafting material, and preparing potions, can I make the fight "easy". Or is it really just a get gud, or get out sorta thing? I know its important to learn the monsters attack patterns and stuff, and I have been trying. So far I've only died a few times, and never enough to fail a mission yet.
Here are some difficulties I've been having with the combat, in hopes that you have some advice for me.
I really hate getting knocked over, I know it makes sense since I have hundreds of pounds of iron strapped to my back (Switch Axe), but it takes bro 5 whole seconds to stand up!
Attack animations take so long that I need to wait for ages just so I can take two steps forward towards a Monster that is an inch too far away, or just turn my body a little to the left because the moster is by my side.
I recently made a post asking for people's recommendations on games with cool dragons in it. And a lot of people recommend Dragons Dogma 1 and 2.
I've watched a bunch of videos reviewing both games and I figured it would be best start with Dragons Dogma 1, especially since there is a major DLC expansion for 2 coming in a few months. I'll play DD 1, and be done in time to play DD 2 with the new update.
I watched a video ranking all the vocations in Dragons Dogma 1. And they all seem so cool I can barely decide! I watched some videos about how best to enjoy the early hours of the game, since there is very little direction and puts a lot of new players off.
This is my idea for what class me and my pawn are going to pick. Although I know we can change it up midway through the game.
Me: A Magic Archer. Since its widely considered the strongest in the game, and I am and BAD at videogames. But that's not the only reason. Magic Archer seems really fun and the flashy explosions are cool. Doing both physical and magic damage seems like a very useful capability. Its not just staying a mile away and shooting explosions, Magic Archer also gets daggers and some good melee and movement so I can enjoy climbing monsters and stabbing them in the face. Auto-aim is good since I am absolutely garbage at aiming.
Magic Archer seems like one of the most diverse vocations so I can enjoy a little bit of everything when it comes to fighting. And before I get to the main city, my starting vocation will be the Strider, since MA seems like basically Strider with magic. And that makes sense roleplay wise too, that I learned more skills as I'm starting my adventure.
My Pawn: At first I really wanted my pawn to be a Mystic Knight, but realized a minute ago that pawns are not allowed to be the cool duo vocations... So I suppose I'll pick Warrior for my pawn, and they'll be a Fighter until that option opens up to me.
Big tanky aggressive guy to help keep the pressure off me. And being my custom pawn, I want him in the middle of battle so I can actually see him more often, rather than him being across the room. I think pairing a heavy tank brawler with me as an MA should make my team fairly well balanced no matter what I choose for my 2 rented pawns, so I'll be mostly free to pick any rented pawns I'd like.
I, of course, loved Baldurs Gate 3. But you only get to fight 2 dragons in the entire game. Which got me in the mood to play a game that features dragons more heavily.
Skyrim was great! Harnessing ancient dragon magic, learning dragon lore, fighting many dragons, and even riding a dragon (in a cutscene). But now I fear that Skyrim is really the only big dragon game out there.
I've been interested in Dragons Dogma 2, but hear underwhelming reviews. I might give it a chance anyway and form my own opinion. It is currently on sale on Playstation. And it seems like a major DLC expansion is coming in a few months. So now may be the perfect time to get into the game.
And of course the Spyro trilogy remake is full of dragons, if I find myself in a platformer mood. And its also on a big sale on Playstation right now 65% off.
I bet there are some good dragon taming Minecraft mods out there...
But what are your thoughts? Any other good dragon focused games come to mind?
Before was a screenshot I took before the update, as you can see it's full-screen. But clearly only because it was stretched out. But I still liked it being full screen.
Now there are black bars on either side of the screen. And changing the aspect ratio in setting won't make it full screen either.
I just started playing, so I'm not a high level or anything and I don't know any pro farming strategies. I'm just playing the game as intended.
And I finished the previous fishing event on the third day, and finished the scavenger hunt in the third day. Leaving quite a bit of time of me being lowkey bored before the next thing happens.
Each section I mostly stuck to a specific set, only using other furniture if it complimented the theme. Like using the ceiling fan in the spa.
Or I kept it real simple like the plant collection at the campsite, which worked nicely with the forest foreground. (And a coincidental photo bomb by Lyman)
Do you have any advice on how to design better when I have access to more cool / cute furniture?
Which spot is your favorite?
The Alchemists Science Lab
The Second Floor Spa
Ocean Restaurant Area
Mini Rainforest Garden
Cozy Reading Club
For those who don't know, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was a gotcha game where you're mostly pulling for furniture and cute outfits to dress up your character and build cute campsites.
Nintendo said that they were shutting down the servers. But they did something pretty cool. Instead of letting the game dissappear, they re-released the game but offline, with all of the events on a loop, and rebalanced the currency to benefit the player and make it possible to participate in everything.
I wish that sort of thing happened. Re-release the game, but paid instead of free, with all of the old events on a automatic loop including character birthdays. Make crystals easier to obtain. And make it fully offline. And let people transfer over their old save games.
That way we can still enjoy the game, and the developers could milk a last round of money out of the game.
The maga refers to the tiger as a "Man-eater", and makes references to victims. But Man-eater could just be a general term referring how how clearly dangerous it is, that it COULD eat a person, not that it HAS.
However Dazai makes it sound like all the tiger is doing is raiding storehouses and causing property damage.
Surely if Atsushi has killed people, the story would've made a much bigger deal of it, like with Kyoka's ability.
Gar took me like half an hour of walking in and out of a villagers house that was near the lake (river pool) to refresh the fish shadows.
And Coelacanth actually took me like two minutes. Just running up and down the beach. Took someone's advice to just close my eyes and focus for the fish bite noise instead of looking at the bobber. And only needed to go through 2 Sea Bass (Coelacanth's shadow was notably longer) before I got him!!!
I've heard of people taking like months to get either of these two. Guess luck was on my side today since they both practically jumped into my arms and directly to Blathers
The other day I was bored so I returned to my Nintendo 3DS and booted up my Animal Crossing new Leaf town. After walking around to see what my town looked like, thankfully I had the beautiful Town ordinance so there were no weeds and all of my flowers were still there.
It was early morning so none of the villagers were active so I just spent my time looking through my house and appreciating my old decorations. I also took a look through my clothing in storage and came up with a few new outfits since I noticed my mannequins didn't have any complete outfits on.
Anyways, I wish to return to playing the game consistently and was wondering if there is anything you specifically like to do, especially when coming back after a hiatus.
I always love the Wood Woad Shield just because its a basic shield thats simply better.
I know when it comes to magic shields, there are much better options. But you get this item mid act 1, so it almost always has a spot in someone's gear.
Also it looks nice, and is a good trophy of a surprisingly difficult fight.
Like that is the most classic evil mayor design ever. I immediately assumed he was the mastermind / twist villain the second I saw him.
​
I dunno if its even possible for a lion themed mayor character to not be evil, obsessed with controlling the people and their self image.
I love the theme of Mina being an unsung hero.
​
While the city may be in anarchy and everyone thinks you just murdered the mayor, Mina knows deep down she did the right thing and we see from the ending that the environment is healing.
​
Perhaps some day the people will realize the negative effects of the generators and that Lionel tried to cover it up. Perhaps some day they'll celebrate and welcome Mina and Thorne back into the city.
Like what do you mean the creepy Trinket Shop lady has a secret basement where she's holding people (apparently willingly) prisoner? Did she steal his face? Is she helping people who had their face stolen by another of her kind? Why was she so freaked out we saw this that she gives us a discount to stay quiet?
