I tried starting up the PSP Monster Hunter I have, and like, there's a tutorial in a bookcase or diary or something, and it's a hojillion pages long. Eeeeeef that.

The only tutorial you need is YouTube. Find a weapon you like, search up a video on it and begin to master your skills, the rest will come.pdSlooper wrote:I tried starting up the PSP Monster Hunter I have, and like, there's a tutorial in a bookcase or diary or something, and it's a hojillion pages long.

That idea is, legit, slightly repulsive to me. It's shitty game design if your game can't be playable without outside resources. Like holy shit. Glad I only spent like $5 on the game.The Shoemaker wrote:The only tutorial you need is YouTube. Find a weapon you like, search up a video on it and begin to master your skills, the rest will come.
If you intend to play them, go for Arkham Asylum and only that one. It's tight, it's fun and should be quite affordable. It's really the only one I would recommend.The Shoemaker wrote: The Batman Arkham series. I always hear good things about those games, and they get compared to Metroidvania's quite a bit, a genre we're lacking of in the 3D space. I think Arkham Knight is available on Wii U, one of them anyways.
Totally agree, (without being repulsed). It's an issue the series has always had. The newest one, MH4 Ultimate. Has actual tutorial missions for individual weapons, which teach you a good amount. I still prefer gaijin hunter on Youtube because he goes through specific steps while visually showing you the combo potential, as well as going into advanced stuff.pdSlooper wrote:That idea is, legit, slightly repulsive to me.

Yes, and I totally agree with Kiwi's recommendation. The first one is a solid contender for my BGE list—very tightly designed and well-paced game. The sequels lose sight of what made the first one great, instead trying to latch onto some kind of open world concept.The Shoemaker wrote:Kiwi - Asylum was the first one, correct? I'll have to hunt it down on 360 then if I ever get one.
