My favorite, most played game AND intro to the series was MH 4 Ultimate on the 3DS. I had a total of 1,000 hours just on that game, across two saves (the first one went to 850 hours) and later I moved on to Gen and GenU on the Switch several years later when I found out I could carry over my save file. GenU is literally a game with infinite content and I don't think I'll ever fully finish it, but I'll keep coming back to it every now and then. I only wish they hadn't crippled the moveset of my favorite weapon, the Charge Blade.
I played World and Iceborne, but only for 200 hours, didn't enjoy it much. I liked base Rise on the Switch a lot, and I'm finally playing Sunbreak now on the PC, and it's instantly become my favorite modern monster hunter game.
I also plan on eventually playing Portable3rd and Freedom Unite on emulators.
As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.
Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.
Monster Hunter. The first one I played, MH4U back in the 3DS days, I put 1,000 hours into. That was nearly 10 years ago, and I'm still playing the franchise to this day. Currently finally going through the Sunbreak expansion of Monster Hunter Rise on the PC, and noticing a marked improvement in my mental health over playing other games.
I just reinstalled NFSU2 because of the new big expansion mod underground2.net
Between this, my brother wanting to play Halo, and the new Linkin Park album coming out this week, I feel like I'm in 2004 again.
It was hilarious! The whole race was done with this kind of mood of everyone having silly fun together to raise money for a mental health charity. Catch any of the vods of the event and you'll see thw good vibes.
Played the beta last night and yeah, it got me in the mood for monster hunting again. Time to finally go play Sunbreak since I bought it ages ago, but never played through it again (bought the base game first on the Switch)
Yeah I'm waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was... A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it's working and it looks very nice to me.
Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn't like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I'll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.
This, so much this. As a car enjoyer, seeing cars slowly mutate into giant bloated expensive iPads on wheels is painful. I don't want to buy any car made past 2010 and I know that won't be a viable option soon.
Came here to mention just that. Base Stalker has some nice storms, but the mods built into Gamma make those absolutely terrifying. I think I genuinely fear the weather more than any mutated monster in the Zone.
As long as the .modern AAA game development scene is still incapable of making GOOD new games that at least match their old beloved titles, I'll take the remakes of the old games instead.
Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.
Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I'm still trying to decide what I'll do with the main gaming PC.
This mod is awesome. It can convert any fully vanilla assets map pack into Doom 64 too. And there is a project that recreated Doom 64 maps in Doom 2 format. Yes you can stack them!
Floorp is made by young Japanese devs. They have uh, very different naming sensibilities...
