@noxy i gave the first ps2 game (no online play in america!) a mediocre review but that's it for my MH experience :[
but what i really wanted to say is wow @ ppl still hitting on game avatars, geez
@noxy that's cool to hear; i never gave the series a proper go and maybe i'd like it if i Got Gud.
i was very into phantasy star online, which was a less action-focused predecessor, but that was still pretty different. not as skill-based.
@alyx I'm not really a big fan of action games in general, mostly because they end up being boring
@noxy due to repetitiion, or?
i don't like any genre as much as i used to, and action often bores me. those "stylish" 3D action games pioneered by devil may cry are kind of awful, to my tastes
@alyx yeah, due to repetition, and usually not enough customization for me. I'm primarily into cute things like Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Splatoon, etc.
@alyx 4 Ultimate (for 3DS) is the only one I've played, but honestly I've gotten more gameplay and depth from it than almost any other game. The extent to which you can actually get good is very enjoyable
and yeah, it's ridiculous, particularly since the costumes for the female avatars aren't designed to be attractive, they're designed to look like gear you would wear to fight a giant fire-breathing monster...
