Hello everyone!
Another very busy week, didn’t really play much at all. And recently my DualSense (PS5 controller) started drifting and options button stopped working, so sent it for repairs, which means no PS5 games for few days. Which leaves:
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Still in water level, I paused the game and left it in sleep mode, which one of my kid closed, so I lost all progress since last castle. Had to replay all that. Now at the final castle of Water level.
- Dragon Quest XI Played some more, killed a boss, and finished all the open available side quests. Now to next main quest.
What about you all? What are all of you playing? Or planning to play next?
Monster Hunter is a very addicting game. I tried it before, but really got into it with Monster Hunter: World. I mainly use Long Sword, though have also tried Bow a little and liked it. I just entered High Rank recently and am stuck on a Pink Rathian, but don’t want to call SOS flare and beat it myself, so currently in grinding mode.
Though, due to the Dual Sense issues, not playing it this week. But if you are liking Generations Ultimate, you should really give Rise a try, it has tons of improvements that will make you love the game so much more.
BTW what is your Hunter Rank? I don’t know my time, but I am quite sure it’s much less than 50, so I should be way below you. Though I did had some help from a friend, who is Master Rank.
Super Mario Odyssey is a really good game. Take your time with it, and enjoy all the levels.
Oh man I absolutely loved World. I mained switchblade on that one. I decided to go with hammer to switch it up in MHGU (biggest difference is having to have patience instead of hack and slash). I haven’t done any of the academy quests, so my hunter rank is still 1 in MHGU, but on World I have HR 61 (Im pretty sure that’s pretty low but I’ve been going at my own pace) and MR 10
I absolutely love rathian fights. If you have poison resistance, it’s basically just a big old doge and slash fest with the occasional flash bang to drop em out of the sky. I feel like long sword might be more skill heavy than switchblade, but keep on with it and you’ll get there!
Im currently still technically on iceborn so it might be a few hobby cycles before I get to Rise, but I do plan on playing it eventually.
As for Odyssey, it currently feels like a less good Galaxy, but Galaxy came out right when I was in the throws of teenage video game euphoria, so I’ve been forcing myself to give it a fair shot. I heard a saying that people get stuck in the entertainment they had when they were teenagers, and that seems to be true enough. I don’t want to miss out just because I have too much nostalgia for Galaxy though.
I saw some videos about how Odyssey changes the music based on different actions you take in game, and I’m excited to see that effect in action, so I do have reason to play, it’s just that MHGU is perfect to listen to a podcast to while hunting lol I’ll get there though, it might just be a while
