Thanks, Uncle Facebook.

Rise/Sunbreak is no small game. The World game was the first built from the spin-off team, but you're right that Rise/Sunbreak is from the "Portable" team. I love World dearly for so many reasons, but honestly Rise keeps the old school spirit going that World was a little lacking in. The flare shot or friends only multiplayer system (lack of lobbies list) sort of stiffles the community. This might sound lame to some people, but if you've ever made long term friends with strangers you met playing a game, you're about 10x more likely to do that in Rise than in World imo. It's just funner and more often has a sillier vibe when grouping up with others, and easier to regroup with them on play sessions days later.

Hell yeah, brother. Helps you get into that primal mode.

Song is "Oh Baby" from LCD Soundsystem's American Dream album. One of the better tracks on their least popular album.

I think it feels like a more fair approach to the new actor tbh. "Hey everyone here is the new guy replacing the legend you all know and love!" is probably not a better approach than letting the professional's work speak for itself.

Yes. The constant logouts were bad - a little on desktop but constantly on mobile, and needing to refresh/login spam 4x to get in sometimes. After awhile growth and activity also looked to be stalling out. I realized a bunch more communities I was missing out on were from Lemmy and I needed to make an account to fully interact.

When I found old.lemmy.world it was game over. I don't think I'll go back to my kbin account much anymore.

Monster Hunter: Rise. My wife and I got two copies together. I've been a long time fan of MH since Tri on the wii. I played MH4U on the 2DS, and MHGU on the Switch. She first joined me in MH:World + Iceborne. Good game. It was fun enough she didn't cringe at the thought of playing MHR together.

So far I'm in LOVE with this game. This is very obviously from the old pre-World team. The in-game community feels alive again with old lobby systems brought back with new features. It's what I was secretly hoping for out of "Next Gen MonHun" when World was announced as that.

You just know that freelance news writer, Anton Shilov, is really proud of himself for that headline.
