    Yeah what the hell is with there being no cheap options for 4k/high refresh monitors? What is this $2000 monstrosity and why is it my only option? ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 27" 4K UHD 144Hz DP HDMI G-SYNC HDR Aura Sync Gaming Monitor with Eye Care - Newegg.com

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I've made a few hairworks jokes myself, but it's a silly comparison. I remember loading up Witcher and being totally impressed with the graphics, but laughably dimissive of the idea of having fancy hair for me and a wolf at the cost of a single FPS (much less 10 or whatever it was). But...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I view PC Gaming / GPUs being upgraded less frequently as a good thing, and a result of being more tied to consoles (because most games are cross platform) which is another good thing. PC gamers today can spend $100-$200 a year and keep their systems in a state where they can run any game they...

    Charge Blade + Hit Box + KO question: I'm trying to elevate my charge blade game from taking pot shots at feet and then trying to SAED the center mass of the monster more toward getting a SAED on the head of a monster for KO damage. My SAED is such a huge sweeping attack, it's hard for me to...

    Lotta people talking about connection errors being fixed from this patch: MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD :: Status Update: Connection Error Issues Now they just need to get some of that particle effect drop, texture issues and some raw mouse input in and they'll have a decent port.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    100% agree. No reason to really continue the debate with confidence until we see third party benchmarks comparing the RTX2080 vs a GTX1080 Ti, or an RTX2080 Ti vs 2x GTX1080 Ti or something. Basically a dollar for dollar comparison. Frankly I'll be surprised if the new generation can compete...

    agree with this completely. I want to know how much $800 a couple years ago bought me vs $800 today.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Also I'm thinking about getting a GTX 1080 Ti to replace my GTX970. I was going to get an RTX2080, but it seems like it's not going to be a good enough value. I like the idea of RTX, I just am more interested in general 4k gaming and don't think I'll use RTX any more than I used Hairworks. But...

    I ran like 30 feet of hdmi / usb from my office to my living room. It's a little unwieldy but it works. Turns out my three year old doesn't want to watch his old man play video games, wtf?

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah that makes sense. I think I'm more looking for non-obvious, but easy ways to have my rag tag group of MHW journeymen do to coordinate better without having them make huge changes to their weapons.. Ex: we can cycle flash pods or something. I'm just so new to multiplayer I don't know what...

    How reliable is buying second-hand GPUs? Are you going to get some GPU that's been roasting in a bitcoin mining shack for the last two years and is on the verge of dying or?

    So I played with a few IRL bros last night against Nergigante. It seemed like it was much harder to get status effects and breaks on him. I read that his HP is increased by 2.2x in multiplayer which is fine, but he still seemed a lot harder beyond that and it felt like I could solo him more...

    I'm doing OK with my charge blade and there will be moments where a little bit of luck combines with me hitting my rotation right and everything lines up in a massive combo of destruction and it's so rewarding. Watching vids of people executing perfectly is so invigorating just because I want...

    I'm sure the new consoles are going to have monster cards whose equivalent for PC cost more than the consoles themselves just like the last ones.

    We'll see. He hasn't said anything substantial about specific tech improvements he plans on making in boring tech that would get him the 10% of current costs figures he's talking about. The only approach change they are talking about vs every other tunnel is to keep the tunnels to single tubes...

    Boring Company announced plans to build a single tunnel in LA to transport 1,400 people to Dodger Stadium per game. Dugout Loop This replaces some bullshit test they were working on. Obviously we're still really early on, the real tech is still on the drawing board and transporting 2.5% of a...

    I've literally only tried the charge blade so it's the only weapon I know, but I really like it. The complex part of it is easy to overcome like you say, and the real difficulty is just timing like I assume all the other weapons are.

    I'm thinking about pre-ordering the RTX 2080 asap when it comes out, and replacing my GTX970, and also buying a 4k monitor to replace my 1920x1200 one. Should I be expected to be bottlenecked by my cpu, which is a little old at i7-4790K? Or is 4k gaming so dependent on GPUs these days that it...

    Thanks for the vid, it summarizes the basics well, but also serves as an example for what i mean by an overgeared play running a train on a mob. Barroth is obviously a super easy mob in general, but i think itd be more instructional to see him kill it with the starter charge blade and starter...

    One of the things I'm struggling with is when I try to find videos of people slaying monsters I'm on to see how it's done properly and get new ideas on how to improve my game, it seems like most videos either feature dudes who are as new to the game as I am, or are overgeared, or are top-level...

    Still making my way through the game, but got a lot better tonight when I started to take guard points with my charge blade seriously. I was reliant on dodge-roll from years of dark souls, witcher etc etc, but using block frames from attack animations is wayyyy better.

    @Leadsalad I'm still new to MHW (HR9) but I had a similar problem to you where I felt like I had to spend all my time dodging it was hard to get some heat on the monsters. I think the adjustment I made was to ditch the Dark Souls' style defensive gameplay of waiting for the boss to fuck up their...

    PC performance for me is pretty good. GTX 970, I7-4799K. I gave up on mouse/kb pretty early on. Gamepad is fine, but I'll probably try to do mouse/kb if I ever try a ranged weapon. I'm HR5, using charge blade, just beat the T-Rex. So far the game is pretty easy, but I feel like the game is...
