    It's funny how we've consistently seen demoes of procedurally / AI driven art content, but 3d models/texture costs have skyrocketed over the last ten years. I'd love to see AI-driven art generation in some game, where a limited budget creates massive permutations of models, textures and...

    I'm using charge blade now. What would you say is the cause of your increased DPS?

    In ultrawide first / third person, is the stuff rendered on the 20% of the left/right of your monitor so stretched out that it represents in only a miniscule gain in field of view? I have three monitors at home and tried rendering on all three, and the stuff on my left/right monitor was just...

    Most people say kb/mouse is totally fine, and in many cases (ranged) superior to gamepad. Personally I like gamepad for melee weapons.

    How you liking the health regen? It sounds really powerful, but there's a lot of argument for whether to get health regen on a charge blade.

    Just took out tempered kirin. Used the drum tool on my calico and only engaged it with either vitality or thunderproof mantle up, took a while and only used my big attacks a few times. Now it's time for some tempered elder farming!!

    Got to HR46 before I learned that powercharm isn't a vendor-bought charm item and is instead some shit that you can put in your inventory to give a semi-passive buff. Monster Hunter World Power Charm & Armor Charm: why you should buy & upgrade these items as a priority | RPG Site

    I don't mind consoles pushing innovation at all. The entire business model of a manufacturer (sony/microsoft) spending massive amounts of money on computing R&D to build the most powerful, loss-leading console they can for ~$500 and then recouping that through game sales is great for gaming, and...

    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...

    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?

    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...
