If it winds up completely piss, there's nowt to stop me making a second character and doing it legit.
True, but the entire point of the game is the difficulty of the monsters and the sense of achievement from beating them. The story is wank, so if you just speed through it with overpowered gear you are missing 90% of what makes the game enjoyable (the remaining 10% being autistic min/maxing for gimps like me).
You'll also hit a massive wall if/when you start Iceborne (when the defender gear becomes useless and you realise you never actually learned how to play).
I hate it when games give you shit as a boost at the start, so I'd never go near that stuff in Monster Hunter.
Aye, some people hopped over to the PC version and I think they could only move one character across.
Anyway, Duke Nukem 3D is done. That holds up really well. The level design is just top tier and the Build Engine has some really nice tricks to it.
WWE2K22 is great. Actually jumped up before and shouted ‘get lost Bradshaw’ after he beat me, on fricking easy too.
Er, not before. Last night. I’ve been working hard all morning.

Does it still have that awful submission system that used to see me accidentally tapping out to restholds because I never figured out its arcane secrets?
They added button-bashing back in as an option which was one of the best changes they made, the lockpicking mini game just to kick out of a pin was absolute shit.
The pin and submission stuff in the last one I played (16, maybe?) were both absolutely criminal and should never have made it past the drawing board.
Yes it's called MyRise.
Seems like your MyRise creation is LOCKED IN to that mode though, so you can't use a real wrestler, can't use a downloader wrestler, and seemingly can't have a singles match against your mate using your MyRise bloke.
My plan is to download Kenny Omega, take a photo of every page of his moveset, then follow a Youtube tutorial to make him. Then take him to the top.
Submission is button bashing but the button changes between A/B/X so you've gotta keep switching. It's good. Kicking out of pin is bashing A. I think its a good system.
Blocking/reversal is mostly hitting Y at the right time. Or matching whether they choose X/A/B in a grapple - if you guess correct, you reverse it.
I imagine playing against another person is a reversal spotfest though, but that's always been the case since the Smackdown games days.
If anyone wants the xbox deluxe version for £20 gimme a shout and I'll speak to my source.

Seems the creator of this nicked Emusak, made it Ryujinx only then bullied the original creator out the scene lol

Managed to find that. Cheers
WWE2K22 is so fun.

Redid the Elite vs Death Triangle ladder match from the other night. You may be able to tell it was my first go at ladders.

Still loving Midnight Suns but the dialogue shit in the Abbey is really starting to annoy me.
Doesn't help when you go up to a character you have to speak to and they're having a conversation to another character which you can't interrupt.
Yeah there are a few quality of life things like that I think they could fix but as cheesy as it is I do sort of love all that bit of it.
Where you up to? I've just finished chapter 2.
Part 2. Last story mission I did was "Skin Deep".
I'm 7 hunts into my Monster Hunter World power fantasy. The fight with the Anjanath wound up tricky as I fainted once and was desperate to keep track of it between stages. By the looks of it, even with the trivial armour and weapons, I've got another 25 hours ahead of me. I consider that still a sizeable chunk of the monster hunting experience, even if it's still a whistle-stop tour. I'd rather take this than bash my head against it for the third time and drop it. I'm still crafting other armour sets and doing side stuff mainly to give me something decent for when I do decide to revisit the old quests.
So far the only thing I don't like is how it throws so many systems at you very early. And the hub's still a mess for me to navigate. Just let me hand these bounties back in from a list. Don't make me find the guy. "Are you the botanist I need to speak to? Where's the research bloke?"
Finished it. Think I was about 60 hours in total maxing out all the research and friendships and whatnot,.
Then for the final battle I used the mad array of colour-swaps for the costumes to put everybody in what I think of as their "Wrestlemania gear." All white with reds and golds. Glorious.
I think I might be accidentally getting way into Minecraft.

Just came across my second big bug in Midnight Suns (I've had plenty of weird graphical ones but whatever), loaded into a mission to recover supply crates. You need to defeat enemies that drop keycards and then open the crates, one crate has no corresponding keycard.
Even on the next wave of enemies? That's what's happened with me previously but I never got one where it didn't turn up at all.
I never had any bugs I don't think. Just the performance stuff which was all resolved as soon as I had it skip the launcher.
First failed quest in Monster Hunter World. Taking on the Rathalos and I just get poisoned to death. And he double-teams with an Anjanoth which means I don't have the SEVENTEEN YEARS it takes to chug an antidote.
Failing a quest with Defender gear
I'm at 3 star quests on Rise.
Midnight Suns done.
I'll play a bit more to complete all friendship levels and do all the legendary challenges.
You didn't do those first so you could have them all in their gear for the finale? Weirdo.
I had done a lot of them.
I think about 4 are missing full friendship level.
And I had them all in special gear throughout but in the finale mission I let them all don the TEAM uniform. I felt that they needed that sense of unity to help them get through the battle.
Yeah I think it forces them into that if you've unlocked it regardless. When I did them all up in the WrestleMania colour scheme some looked better in a version of their default tear but the game says "no fuck you" and changes it back anyway for some of them.
Doctor Strange looks wrong without a cloak.
Forspoken is wank apparently.
These defense missions in Monster Hunter Rise. My word, what an awful format.
Is that the wave survival stuff? It sounds hell on paper.
It's dogshit.
After falling in sweet love with WRC9 I noticed they put 10 up for under a tenner also. I'm still doing the 9 career mode but had a quick blast on 10 and although the graphics seem smoother the handling itself feels incredibly twitchy, I'm ropey enough on tarmac courses as it is so I'm never far for lumping over the edge of a cliff. Snow rallies though, I'm serenely sliding into first place like it's a home from home. When WRC Generations goes on sale I'm all over it, happy latecomer to this series.
Dirt Rally is the rally game to play. True Richard Burns rally successor.
I had the first one but I didn't get on with it for reasons I can't remember, might have just been bad timing. Loved the old Colin McRae games so it seemed a perfect fit as well
EDIT: actually still got it somewhere, will dig it back out while I'm in the rally mood

Mimimi, the folks behind Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3, have announced their new one:
Want it.
@Ian.
First DLC is out for Midnight Suns which introduces Deadpool.
I've done the first two new story missions plus a side mission with Deadpool (who unfortunately isn't voiced by Reynolds) and he seems quite poor.
Obviously anyone I pair him with right now have upgraded great decks but his damage seems pretty crap.
Yeah I didn't buy the season pass because I didn't want to come back to the game in dribs and drabs. I'll buy the lot at some point in the future when all the new characters and any other DLC they might be planning is out.
GoldenEye is out on GamePass and Switch. I'm just about to go fuck up some shit in Facility
Awesome
