Quintus 5,399 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Anyone else fancying Monster Hunter World at the end of the month? Never played one in my life, but apparently this always online "shared world" reboot of sorts is taking the Destiny 'grind and raid with your mates' approach to gameplay to the point that the game's director has appealed to Destiny players to give the Capcom game a chance. Which I might just do, especially since D2 is going to need another 9 months of development before it finally gets to where it needs to be again.

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 It's single player as much as Destiny is so long as you don't mind seamlessly walking past other players from time to time, or being aided in a big mini boss fight by them for the loot drop before quietly parting ways. The Division was the same, it's perfectly possible to play this genre solo and without any sort of griefing or interference from other players, if that's what a person prefers. If you want a traditional offline single player campaign experience though, remove it from your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,630 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 seems you can play alone http://twinfinite.net/2017/08/monster-hunter-world-single-player/ i guess it's a bit like Dark Souls ELEX is hard. you really start with nothing and can't do much at the start. Wander slightly and run into an enemy too hard for you and you get killed. There's no markers for quest givers and no minimap so you have to remember everything. The map is gigantic. It's got some bad reviews but a lot of people can't get into Piranah Bites games (Gothic.Risen) .To me they are the most "real" RPG's I love it of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Has anyone here played any of the Yakuza games? It’s one of the few PlayStation franchises I never tried out and am curious as I’ve heard good things about the most recent installment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 They have remarkably involving storylines, a cool fight system (deeper than any other game of its type) and a compact but dense city sandbox to explore. Zero is on my long list ever since playing an earlier entry years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've been wanting to check them out, too! I love the Shenmue games, and apparently these games kind of fill the void since that series has been in ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you played the first two? I finished the Burial At Sea DLCs and didn’t realize going in that this is sort of the real ending of the franchise. I played Episode 1 back on PS3 but never got around to 2. The story here radically expands upon the ending to Infinite and alters the whole way I perceived it. Did you ever play these, @Quintus ? Right now I’m making my way through Life Is Strange: Before The Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I did play a good deal of the first expansion and fully intended at the time to follow it up with the second, but as I recall, I was put off a lot by the stealth heavy gameplay. I don't think Bioshock's systems were ever good enough to really support high quality stealth gameplay, so unfortunately that was were I parted ways with the franchise. I remember quite vividly being dazzled by the original ending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember quite vividly being dazzled by the original ending though. Episode 1 was more or less your regular gameplay. It’s in Episode 2 where the stealth gameplay is added, but I thought it was fine considering that you don’t play as Booker. And you can just run and gun per usual anyway, if that’s your fancy. Once I stocked up well enough that’s how I continued. I think you should return to it at some point. It ties Rapture and Columbia more intimately than just another “man, city, and lighthouse.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 $12 for the original Infinite is decent, but I might just wait for an inevitable Steam bundle of the entire franchise for $5 because I'm not paying $30 for the two expansions.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I loved experiencing Rapture during Atlas’ rise to power. There were some thrilling crossover moments from the original game. Also playing as Elizabeth and having a disembodied Booker as your “radio guide” was a nice twist, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,337 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My earliest video games were Commodore 64 games like the one where you build a house or the text-based stuff like Hitchihiker's Guide or Zork. I don't remember the order of things exactly but I remember Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Maniac Mansion, King's Quest, Space Quest all coming out as brand new games.
