7:00 PM
I find someone I like, poof, parents break up. I get better in school, poof, trump wins.
 
@BlueBarren I am willing to bet you everything right now that it would've been the complete opposite if Monster Hunter went to the Vita.
 
the amounts of games I've made could be the vita and that's like 5 or something
@Yuuki what about western sales?
a console can't be defined by a local market anymore
it's the global that matters
because it was a problem for both Nintendo and sony when it came to selling handhelds in a western market
 
Correction, it wasn't double the Vita line-up combined. Vita technically sold more games than the Monster Hunter franchise, but it was pretty damn close.
 
now add in the rest of the 3ds games sold
and it's going to wipe the floor with the vita
 
That's completely tangential to my point.
 
7:03 PM
it's not mine, well not my side point of the vita not being a code number to compare too
since it did so horribly
disclaimer, I really like my vita
 
You said that the reason why Monster Hunter is on the 3DS is because developers pick which consoles everyone uses. Which is largely true, but I'm saying that it's really not the case for the Monster Hunter franchise.
People really underestimate how big it is in Japan. It is the game. Pretty much any Japanese kid that plays video games has played Monster Hunter. It is the go-to gaming reference in pretty much every medium.
 
@Yuuki and I said that because I recall Capcom being quoted saying that's why they accepted the partnership. I would find you a reference but almost every site that's fun is blocked at my work. I won't however deny that Monster Hunter definitely drove sales up even further due to it's presence on the system
I would be curious to see the Xbox sales in japan then
because there's a Monster Hunter game on 360
but apparently 360 doesn't do well in Japan
see how much of a driving force it is
 
@BlueBarren There's also a Monster Hunter game on PS3.

Mobile Devices

Proposed Q&A site for this site is for the day-to-day mobile device users, who need to find about new devices, compare device performances and just ask about anything they need to know about mobile devices. This isn't the place to ask about developing or designing things.

Game design

Proposed Q&A site for game designers looking for advice tips and practices for designing their game's gameplay, story, mechanics, and more. Distinct from the game development stack exchange because that one focuses on development and the technical side of game creation.

Currently in definition.

 
And the Monster Hunter on 360 is Frontier, which is a whole different beast.
 
7:07 PM
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Isn't gamedev game design and development?
 
@Unionhawk yes
 
@Yuuki what's the game on PS3? I would assume it's Japan only as well? And with Frontier it's still a MH game at heart, I didn't think it was hated, is it?
 
So... Questions about design are... On topic... Making this not distinct
 
RIP @BlueBarren. He tried arguing about monster hunter with @Yuuki.
 
@Unionhawk Apparently, this site is going to be on-topic for "how do I make FFVII but not have Aerith die?"
 
7:08 PM
I'm not arguing
we're having a chat
 
@Yuuki excuse me waht
 
@BlueBarren Portable 3rd, which is part of the flagship series.
 
@Yuuki and so did that sell like crazy or no?
 
@BlueBarren Frontier is not part of the flagship series, it's technically a spin-off. It's also on the PS3 as well.
> Within two weeks of release by December 20, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd sold 2.58 million units in Japan.
 
@Yuuki originally it came out on Windows and Xbox 360 though, yeah?
Windows then Xbox 3 years later
"Monster Hunter Frontier has also been released on the Xbox 360 in Japan on June 24, 2010, where it sold 93,000 copies during the launch week."
that's really low for MH
 
7:11 PM
@BlueBarren For about half a year.
@BlueBarren Partly due to not being part of the flagship series, partly due to not being available on a handheld unit, and partly due to it being a bit of a paradigm shift (being an MMO).
 
In the case of Frontier I think it's either people already knew they didn't like it as much as the main series because it had been on PC for 3 years or it wasn't a driving factor for more people to buy Xbox 360s in Japan
@Yuuki I noticed you mentioned a specific type of console, handheld
does that not indicate that the platform also matters?
 
@BlueBarren If you're going to make the argument that portable vs. non-portable matters, then yes. But with Japanese gaming, that's almost a given.
 
it's all going towards my point that system matters more than the game
I think we need to have an MH game release on all platforms to have good statistics
 
@BlueBarren I agree that's the case for the most part. But there are always exceptions to rules and my argument is that Monster Hunter is that exception. At least in Japan.
 
because I'm looking at frontier G and it just tells me it has 4.5 mil players but how is that split between platforms?
@Yuuki and I won't disagree that Monster Hunter surely drove 3DS Hardware sales in Japan
and honestly it also drove some sales in the US too but so did Pokemon
 
7:21 PM
lmao
there's an article in the atlantic going "NINTENDO IS DYING"
no
Nintendo has never been dying
 
@Unionhawk Someone didn't see the E3 stampede over Breath of the Wild.
 
they have been hurting for money before
 
Even the wii u turned a profit. Less than what they wanted or expected, but they made money on it.
 
user15026
@Unionhawk I feel like this happens like yearly
 
And they also released the two top grossing mobile games of this year.
And also Pokemon.
LOL it points out that PoGo lost 60% of users
It dropped from a cultural phenomenon to a mobile game with a large playerbase
Like what
 
7:27 PM
Nintendo has two states. Making money and making lots of money.
 
Yes
 
user15026
@Unionhawk shock, horror, etc
 
I should buy some stock before the Switch drops.
 
That particular point is always hilarious to me because it understates how large 40% of the original PoGo playerbase is
It's still a lot of people
 
The question is whether I do it now or wait until after the January announcement.
Because despite the announcement of a new Zelda game and all the hype over it, Nintendo stock price actually dropped after E3.
Like what?
 
user15026
7:30 PM
@Unionhawk Having just read that article, it's obvious they're not really in touch with how gamers actualy think
 
Or, like, how nintendo's design philosophy works
They are huge fans of making games about one core mechanic
 
@Unionhawk Like if it wasn't for the super-dark humor and semi-realistic graphics, I would've thought Portal was made by Nintendo.
 
Yes
Exactly
Portal is a game Nintendo would have made
 
I don't like this mobile gaming stuff. Super Mario Run. Tap to make him jump. Pokemon Go+, click the button to catch pokemon. Why are we turning gaming into a tap/one click affair?
 
And it'd probably be pretty fun still
 
7:33 PM
@MadMAxJr Yeah, bring gaming back to the "tap -> tap -> tap -> tap -> tap" nested menu diving of yore.
 
Surprised there isn't an official Call of Duty clicker game.
 
And like, nintendo's stock is currently around double what it was in June prior to pokemon go
 
Back in my day, games had choices and menus!
 
I didn't have much fun with Go myself.
 
Nowhere near Wii numbers, admittedly
 
7:35 PM
> Do not try to make a choice in a game. Instead, only realize the truth. That there is no choice in a linear game. Then you will see that it is not the choice that matters, but yourself.
That said, I wish we had more linear games than messy open-world games these days.
 
@Yuuki I'd hold out for now, it's currently on a downward trend due to negative reviews
 
I've said it many times, I loved FFXIII
 
There's something to be said about a creator-driven designed gaming experience that's lacking in all of these open-world, non-linear, procedurally generated games these days.
 
Okay in that case give me another Undertale. >:|
 
hmmmmmmm
 
7:37 PM
@djsmiley2k I can't do it, man, I can't do it.
I get flashbacks whenever I think about FFXIII.
 
I also loved -II and lightning returns
 
I realize that my experience was an edge case, but I just can't go back.
I'm sure if RNG didn't completely screw me over 6 times in a row, I'd love XIII.
 
It's a damn pretty game.
 
how come, what happened ?
 
I've got this "You were not at home card" thing which says I can either use the website or call them to reschedule the delivery. It also says I'll need some information... THEY JUST DIDN'T FILL IN THE DATA
 
7:39 PM
;D
 
@djsmiley2k Took 6 tries to kill a boss because he had a high-damage AoE attack. And my party group-hugged it out for 6 tries in a row.
 
@KevinvanderVelden The best ones I've seen state online wht colour door you have - to prove they visited
cept once I got one, and it was posted, and had the WRONG colour door
'white' - it was a dark blue door
 
I stopped playing 10 because I couldn't beat Lady Yunalesca and my save had me past the point of no return.
 
@Yuuki i wonder if it's the guy i'm thinking of
 
This one is "you can choose when we deliver it, otherwise we'll send it back, use this number to do so: ______________"
 
7:40 PM
there was one semi-optional boss who wass a total dick
 
@djsmiley2k It's a big face dude.
 
semi-optional as you had to fight him once
 
I think he was part of the story.
 
oh, the end game boss?
 
Like he was an old guy who turned into a face.
 
7:41 PM
this nobber
 
@djsmiley2k Yes, that motherf--ker.
 
yup was nobber, can confirm
trick was to go speed based and just hammer him
yeah annoyingly most of the bosses had some 'key' to beating them
 
I have an odd urge to play 6 again.
 
and if you tried anything else it'd fail
 
The thing is, I cleared him on my seventh try with literally no grinding and I destroyed him easily.
But my party was spread out this time and only one person took heavy damage each time he did his AoE.
 
7:43 PM
ah, urgh
sentinal at right moment

Q: Xbox one home sharing will my friend get my games too?

TinniestBlocKSo if i log into my friends account on my xbox and set it to "my home xbox" i understand i will get his games and his gold membership.. but will he get my games too? and everything else i buy, such as dlc?

 
I can easily recover from one person taking tons of damage. There's no coming back from all three hitting 10%.
@djsmiley2k Even triple Sentinel didn't work.
 
:/
weird
I don't think I had that problem
 
I went triple Sentinel to tank the hit on try 5 and 6 and immediately switched to dual Medic to try to get everyone back in shape ASAP.
Still couldn't do it.
@djsmiley2k Yeah, I realize that my situation is very strange.
But after finally beating him, I just put the game down and never touched it again.
 
most people hated the linearity but once you 'finished' it, it opened out nicely
yeah, i can get that
 
7:46 PM
The idea that I could be stuck on one boss for so long because of something I couldn't control (character movement) took all the fun out of the game.
 
it's prob a good thing too
there's a worse boss later
 
The character design and graphics were nice though.
Square Enix needs to fire some graphic artists and use that money to hire some game designers though.
 
i liked the automation aspects of it, but apparently most people didn't
 
He's making a list / He's checking it twice / He's gonna find out / if you voted Leave or Remain

7:53 PM
I think since @fredley voted leave, that means he hates christmas
Someone check my math
 
@Unionhawk confirmed, @fredley voted for brexmas
 
@Unionhawk Leave -> nationalist -> right-wing -> conservative -> "don't take the Christ out of Christmas". I think your math is off.
 
Hmm
I must have dropped a minus sign somewhere
 
@Unionhawk It landed on the English Channel and that's why we have Brexit.
IT'S ALL @UNI'S FAULT.
 
we actually had a political row about christmas decorations.
 
7:58 PM
(that's a thing here too)
 
I mean, I think it's fine for the government to put up Nativity scenes myself. As long as they're also okay with putting up menorahs and other decorations of other religions.

JohnIn Civilization V, can city-states steal workers? I've played Civilization V for over 600 hours and I've never had a worker stolen by a city-state.

Q: Is there an in game explanation how the hell the greybeard learn shots?

Jim ThioI visited greybeard and hear their explanation. However, I must have missed something. They said that is the way the rest of us learn shouts. Okay, how did "the rest of" us learn shouts again? I don't want to reload too far. If anything I wonder if there is a site that will give me the full con...

 
@Unionhawk my favorite thing is that the christmas tree has a super pagan origin
 
Yes
 
7:59 PM
@Yuuki Now that would be against culture and blah,blah blah.
 
It's when you only have Nativity scenes under a supposedly secular state that we run into problems. Like I don't expect Vatican City to have other decorations lying around for "equality", but I expect that of Germany or Canada or the US or any other secular nation.
 
it is perhaps the least christian of christmas stuff
 
Also, did you see and appreciate this?
If not, see and appreciate it
Unless you're not in America I think in which case GO AWAY
 
@Yuuki US is not really all that secular. with the swearing offcials on the bible and stuff.
 
@Unionhawk hue
 
8:00 PM
(it's a yule log with the constitution burning)
 
netflix had a series of burning fireplace videos
each one was named for the tree breed burning
 
@GodEmperorDune They kept the bloody tree, they just removed the Nativity scene.
 
it was great
 
@Unionhawk Remember to save what's left over to light the Declaration of Independence next year!
 
"WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO REASSIMILATE WITH THE UK I DON'T KNOW"
@uni that was a dumb joke
shut up
 
8:02 PM
I mean, if the Brexit plan involved merging with the US, I'm all for it.
 
@Yuuki moar blue states
 
lol indeed
We'd probably make them a state before we did DC or Puerto Rico
 
also i heard justin trudeau coordinated with obama on the arctic drilling ban, nicely done Canada

Q: Question and Answer Hand-Holding

KaizerwolfIn the last few days, a user has been asking a lot of questions about Skyrim and Skyrim and Skyrim and so on and so forth. I know we are a gaming-related question and answer website, but honestly, it's getting ridiculous, and that's not even all the questions he's posted. I've seen questions in ...

 
@SepiaLazers always fun to call out single user behavior on meta
 
Yaaaaaaaaay
 
He sees you when you're voting / He knows when you're on /r/The_Donald / He knows if you've been globalist or good / So vote third-party for goodness sake!
I should put up a Movie Night meta tonight.
 
@Yuuki not as good as the leave/remain, sorry
 
@GodEmperorDune Fair enough.
 
8:09 PM
@Yuuki Your mom should put up a movie night meta
OH WHAAAAT
Man @Yuuki
I bet you feel like a fool now
 
@Wipqozn I'm whose mom?
 
@Yuuki would have been better with a fake news or pizzagate refrance
 
@GodEmperorDune I thought "globalist" covered that?
 
NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS

8:11 PM
@Yuuki hmm, kinda
 
@Wipqozn MODS ARE CENSORING FREE SPEECH!
(I just wanted to shout)
 
@Unionhawk I should probably make that my avatar
@Arperum Why I would never!
Never ever.
 
@Wipqozn Just make the Eye a turtleshell.
 
@Wipqozn you will always be the diamondback turtle
 
@Yuuki It's genius
 
8:12 PM
With a diamond for the pupil.
 
So genius I'll claim the idea as my own
 
@Yuuki i'm on board now
 
Well I just got here and saw the Eye of Saron, does that mean I am going to die?
 
@Ramirez77 You have 7 days to carry the burnt mask of Darth Vader to the planet Vulcan.

Damn it I knew it!
 
@Ramirez77 It's dangerous to go alone, take this gravity gun.
 
Oh sweet I hope you have an extra broken toilet for me to chuck at zombies!
 
Should you accept, there will be cake at the end of your journey.
 
What kind of cake? That is of vital importance for me to know
 
I seem to have written myself into a corner.
 
8:20 PM
Good you deserve it
 
I knew there wasn't cake, nobody ever gives away free cake
 
@Ramirez77 I mean, technically it's not free cake if you have to do something to get the cake.
 
But free refers to the fact I don't have to pay for said cake.
 
@Ramirez77 you pay for it, just not with currency
 
I still was never told what kind of cake it was though, for all I know it could be poisonous!
 
8:24 PM
GUYS
 
@Ramirez77 well just complete the testing battery and there will be cake at the end
 
NOT ONE BUT TWO 2.0 BREWERIES OPENING EARLY NEXT YEAR NEAR ME
 
2.0? Does that mean that there are possibilities of fractions of breweries?
 
No, I mean, like, there was a 1.0 version, but now they're relocating and expanding at the same time
One is relocating a couple blocks, the other several miles but still in the metro area
(and closer to my house)
 
@Ramirez77 Yeah, Budweiser is like 0.25 of a brewery.
 
8:26 PM
Well, hold on
 
Oh snap sick burn on Budweiser! :O
 
Budweiser does impressive scale
And they do that very well
It's just kind of a one trick show
 
@Unionhawk They are buying up some niche craft microbreweries as well.
 
I am sure some people would disagree but then again I am not one of those people, since I don't drink XD
 
@Yuuki Yeah, inbev
Several area breweries have a response ready if inbev approaches, all laced with 4 letter words
Like nope

One more day left until my 11 days of vacation from work :D
And 11 days for me to get back to my massive backlog of games... and Final Fantasy 14

Q: Why doesn't the EMP grenade kill/shutdown Reaper?

ExoMuteI know you get the whole HUD glitch if you get EMP-d, but seeing as Reaper is a robot, why doesn't an EMP grenade kill/destroy him, since it destroys other electronic equipment (technically I haven't EMP-d a Reaper to find out for sure, but I assume it only messes up the HUD)? Is he that advanced...

Since 1.11 our old function has stopped work, partly to do with the skeleton horses singular entity tag. The command blocks I have set are 2 separate ones set ...

 
@Ramirez77 I have two more days to go, but only one day until my girlfriends gets to my place again :D
 
@Ramirez77 Well despite Budweiser's terrible taste, said taste is at least mostly consistent throughout all countries they operate and sell. Plus-minus accounting for local lack of taste.
 
and not 11 days off, only 8 or so.
 
MadTree is expanding to a 100 barrel brewhouse with 64 taps (from like 18 barrels I think and 16 taps)

It's the same for McDonald's. Maybe it's not the best food you'll find, but a McNugget in the US tastes the same and is for all intents and purpose the same as a McNugget in Brazil or China.
 
It's going to be awesome
 
This is supposedly why Usain Bolt only eats at McDonald's during Olympics.
 
McDonald's is like one of the worst fast food places in the world IMO I can't stand eating there x.x
Minus breakfast, since McDonalds does have a pretty good breakfast
 
He is less likely to get sick eating McDonald's than he is if he were to eat local.
 
@Yuuki Note to self: do not think mcdonalds might be edible anywhere.
 
8:30 PM
Wow this question that just got posted on Arqadefacepalms
 
Usain Bolt sounds like the fourth tier of Final Fantasy lightning magic.
 
@Yuuki He's not the only one
 
Wouldn't it be like Usain Boltaga or something like that @MadMAxJr
 
So this means that my kids dragging me to McDonald's while on vacation is a good thing?
 
@JasonBerkan Are you going to be performing in the 100m sprint later in the afternoon?
Or the 4x100 relay?
 
8:33 PM
@Yuuki I'm pretty sure I can manage it in 79.4 seconds.
 
@JasonBerkan You're on my team for the Bridge track meet.
 
I'm still running the 100m dash, going on about 25 years on the clock
 
@Yuuki so I guess you're a big monster hunter fan?
 
The key to being a Monster Hunter athlete is to flex after drinking your potion.
This is absolutely vital.
 
@MadMAxJr You absorb the nutrients more efficiently that way.
 
8:37 PM
I've always wanted to try Monster Hunter but I don't want to play it on a tiny handheld console >.>
 
@BlueBarren That's like saying he is a big Frozen fan.
 
@BlueBarren I've been known to hunt the occasional Nargacuga.
 
Understatement of time-unit
 
@Ramirez77 Well, it might be on the Switch so there's that.
 
If I decide to get a Switch that is, Nintendo has to at least prove that they will have any sort of third party support.
 
8:39 PM
Well, my 3DS is on the fritz so between Pokemon, Zelda, and a possible Monster Hunter, that's all the bang for my buck I need.
 
I can see Monster Hunter on the switch requiring you to attach a greatsword on one side of the unit.

Q: Why can I not connect to a local minecraft world?

PokeWhen I try to join my brothers world, it will not show up for me and vice versa. This happens despite us being a few feet from each other. We currently have MCPE version 1.0.

 
Nintendo is just a really odd company to me, I love some of the games, I can't really get into most of the first party but they have had some really great third party games
 
@Ramirez77 Yeah, Mario Party 3 was fantastic.
 
That it was! Anyway I got to go to Planet Vulcan (AKA drive home)
 
8:43 PM
@Yuuki so have you been playing generations then? Because I only got 4U because it's too much of the same thing for me
@Arperum Frozen is a master piece
 
@BlueBarren Yeah, I like Generations, although I haven't been playing much recently due to the borked 3DS.
 
I did enjoy fighting Gore Magala.
Taking him down with a bow felt rewarding.

Q: Does GPU performance improves comparatively when using even ratios?

Sander SchaefferThis might be an odd question, but I was wondering if you could improve GPU performance with games, comparatively, when using doubles/halves of the native resolution, instead of an odd ratio of that. Lets compare the situation with a metaphor first. If I'd give you a standard A4 sheet of paper, ...

 
@Yuuki But it's just the same grind all over again if you played 4U. I do have to say that styles stuff is cool but it doesn't make it worth it. Borked 3DS?
 
@BlueBarren Circle Pad no worky.
@BlueBarren Grinding is the Monster Hunter way. What makes it fun is that each monster hunt is different from the last one.
 
8:52 PM
old 3ds?
 
@BlueBarren New 3DS XL.
 
I need more of a gap to justify the grind, have too many other games to play
ew that's rough
I just got that black Friday 3DS
 
Styles is weird. "I'm gonna run up that Wyvern, flip in the air, stab it, then ride it, while stabbing it more."
 
Incoming Alchemy Style is going to be weirder.
 
Tony Hawk's Pro Monster Hunter
 
8:54 PM
Atelier Monster Hunter.
 
Bam Magera vs. Diablos
Alchemy style? Is that blade enhancements or are we going into battle armed with reagents and catalysts now?
 
I'm too old fashioned for this
give me a big weapon to whack a monster with
let me roll away from my problems
 
@MadMAxJr I'm still confused as to how that person became famous. I don't think he was particularly good at skateboarding, was he?
I mean, better than average, sure.
 
@fredley yeah farage is pretty nsfw
