I didn’t know that, actually, that’s cool

We should look up the lead developer! I’m sure they have been an overall positive influence on gaming culture

Monster Hunter Rise, although it’s not exactly open world

When I was a kid, one of my friends would refuse to go into caves in Skyrim cause they didn’t like being underground. I remember thinking “damn, you’ve locked yourself out of like 90% of the game but whatever floats your boat”

I had a similar experience with Hollow Knight. Mind you, the entire map is underground, but there are certain very deep parts that are incredibly claustrophobic and I avoided them as much as I could.

great for core strength though

90% of gamers stop investing in a company right before the devs make an adequate game

Since the guy has blown up in the last week-ish, he drew a new meme of him

Sorry for instagram link, this is just where I know him from. Philibbankss is the name of the artist.

I’m glad the helldivers are eating good, but warframe players are having three course meals every couple months

Hey now, not every AAA game is shitty. The Monster Hunter games have been gorgeous and I’m excited for their next game

What’s your favorite game?

I hate investor leeches as much as the next person but saying “I want Ubisoft to focus on long-term strategy to provide exceptional experience to the gamers, rather than try to release multiple mediocre games every year” is not that crazy of an input

that’s their next project after Hollow Knight: Silksong

Play Warframe lol. Almost no vaulted content after ten years, and new quests coming out every couple months. 50 gigs.

It’s in quite a few games but I guess I haven’t played anything more modern than 2017. Runescape and Monster Hunter still have it. Warframe too, surprisingly enough.

I can’t swim today- I bought the last two monster hunter games and all of their dlc for fifteen dollars total

Can’t wait to see how the fighters defend Earth from Nappa and Vegeta, but first I have to see what happens to Batman’s parents and how Spiderman gets his powers

I’m not saying “True Strike shouldn’t exist”. I’m saying as it is, it’s incredibly underbalanced and not worth spending two turns to cast one spell.

I’m all for build diversity, but if you want to guarantee your big spells land (you can still miss with advantage, btw) you might as well pick Divination Wizard and use a Portent. If someone wanted to use this cantrip and I was DMing, I’d adjust it to be more accessible.

True strike is also a concentration spell, which means you can’t use any other concentration spells and you have a chance to waste it if someone hits you.

It’s also “advantage on one attack roll”, meaning it has no effect on spell saving throws like Fireball, Ray of Frost, etc.

There’s just a huge opportunity cost of taking it when you only get a few cantrips for the whole game

edit: Here are all the specific conditions for it

Not sure that would jive with their traditional way of development but I’d love to see a game dev mecca show up in Japan
