    Ordered Bound 4K from Wal Mart the other day for ~$17, it arrived today. I'm exchanging it regardless because the case is damaged, but it didn't have the grey sticker on the outer wrapping and it wasn't that like folded flap cellophane but heat shrunk plastic outer--what are the odds this is a...

    Yeah it used to be REALLY segmented (loading screens between each map zone and you had to *tag* the monster to know where it is). World opened that up a bit and Rise smoothed out a lot of the wrinkles. Wilds dips its toes into open world (more open world in a very constrained area, like the...

    Rise was really good at streamlining the gameplay a lot, the handheld team (the ones who made Rise) are putting out better MonHun games than the console team, IMO.

    It's not as difficult as Soulsborne games, but has a similar approach to combat (learning boss animations, lots of dodging, etc). It's basically just a shitload of boss fights. The general flow is you hunt monsters to get materials and forge new weapons/armor from those materials. Eventually you...

    War of the Rohirrim was better than I was expecting it to be but still kinda suffering from being in the shadow of the Jackson trilogy

    So far on base PS5 it’s run fine, though I have it on frame rate mode. Handful of frame drops here or there in camps but no performance issues when it matters. I assume it’ll get patched eventuallt

    Gotta say, my experiences with Montreal dispensaries was great (though, unsurprisingly, the employees were doing their best French impersonation, e.g. being assholes). The drugs did the trick though. If I ever get out to Halifax I can report on Nova Scotia's (and maybe New Brunswick's)...

    This is just the ones on the peninsula, but you could walk north to south/east to west in like 10-15 mins, so it's basically one every block along the main roads. It's cuckoo for such a smol city.
