    I've played 10 hours of It Takes Two and it legit is the best co-op experience I've ever had. IEven just after the first five hours I knew this would be an all-timer. Just so much creativity with the encounters and environments. Every new area is something unique and it's a blast. Definitely a must play for anyone who likes co-op games, and even better if you have a partner / friend to play with.

    Great episode! Loved to hear the passion. During the email section while talking about "new" vs "old" games and how you all seem to appreciate them where others (younger or newer players) don't share the same appreciation for the art styles, I realized you all are connoisseurs of games and can "taste" the nuance like a fine wine or cheese where a newer player just says "yeah, it's just gotta taste good enough to get me drunk". Stay classy Allies!

      No offense dude, but that's a boomer take (even if there's some truth to it). The kind of thing as a kid you think you'll never say and then the circle comes back around and older people start shitting on younger people's tastes for no reason. In this case, the only evidence of this is trolls. The people trolling aren't even kids. Hopefully, I didn't misunderstand what you meant, but that's how it sounded to me.

    While I agree with the "from the business standpoint" obvious take regarding Sony shutting down old games, it seems absurd to me that people aren't putting Sony's feet to the fire for this decision. People like watching the latest movies too, but no publishers throw out their old movies and say "I don't get why you would want to watch these, they're in black and white!". Jim Ryan saying he doesn't get why anyone would play old games is Kinect-levels of delusion imo, but most of games media is choosing to defend corporation over consumer by saying "hey man we need to be thinking about Sony's bottom line here".

      Very true but also the fact that these remasters sell well enough for so many games nowadays, hence why so many publishers still do it and how many people still play the "old games" on PCs and other platforms I don't think that argument really holds much water. Not every game is going to get those remasters they talked about either, they're just going to be lost forever. It's crap.

    Very nice chat. Loving mh rise. It's the first one in the series I've been able to properly get into. Not even for lack of trying, think I've tried them all since the psp. There's something very right with how this one works. It's not about being obtuse or bogged down with menus and items, that's all fine and this one does a lot of weird stuff like all of them. I think what it does right is let you spend all your time figuring it out and testing stuff in combat, while previous ones had so much time wasted on load screens and the travel time around the map, just a lot of things getting in the way of simply learning how things fit together. The dog is such a stroke of genius.

      In response to the hottake, I was thinking about this the other day. I think it'd be a really cool idea if they went back to the idea of underwater battles. They introduced them in 3u so you could have an epic fight with the lagiacrus, but the limited control functionality on the og 3ds made underwater combat extremely painful (even if you had the enormous second thumbstick accessory imported from japan >.

      @@samarobbins Underwater fights were in the original release (Monster Hunter Tri) on the Wii, and was only re-introduced for 3U when MH Portable 3rd dropped it--and rightfully so. And believe me, 'better functionality' does nothing for it. It was serviceable at best on the Wii with a pro controller, and literally just a pain in the arse the rest of the time. Most maps with underwater sections weren't designed well enough to incorporate it comfortably, and often times in my experiences playing online people would let the monster run off and wait for it to move elsewhere if it went into those problematic areas.
      It's simply just not fun.

      @@CURSEDSei Oh nice, didn't realize they were in tri. I'm aware they were unfun as I alluded to in my initial comment, but that doesn't take away from my optimism that they could revamp the mechanics for a future installment.
      Over the last couple of games they've displayed a willingness to add more dimensions to the combat and environments with verticality and mobility so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to take some of the lessons they've learned and apply them to more fluid underwater gameplay mechanics/areas.

    I think the new consoles will help Monster Hunter so much by making things seamless and load faster so that the world can feel much more connected. I agree with everyone about Avengers needing just a patrol area, which I think is coming, but it also needs a map. To Ben's point about a new weapon I have an idea: Chkcrams. Kingdoms of Amalur had them and I haven't seen them in any other game. Melee and range.

    Huber makes a good point about old Playstation exclusives, namely PS3 ones, when talking about the PS stores closing on older platforms. I thought most of them had gotten HD remasters or something but that's actually not the case.
    I'm bummed out about it. It feels like Sony is taking a clear step backwards on backwards compatibility and I might lose my games in the future. It kind of shocks me that Sony does something that fans hate and is basically customer unfriendly, if they think they can get away with it.

    Following the discussion from the third email question, I think the closest thing we'll get to an icon mash-up for Microsoft would be Killer Instinct. Season 3 of Killer Instinct had a character from Battletoads, Gears of War and Halo, so I could see a future where Microsoft makes another Killer Instinct and includes some of the more gritty characters such as Senua, Doom Guy or BJ Blazkowicz.
    If they didn't have a full-game icon mash-up, I imagine they'd just keep doing things like custom sails in Sea of Thieves, Halo character in Gears 5 multiplayer and lots of little crossovers between games.

    I think both Sony and Microsoft have a huge opurtunity for something like Smash; just NOT something like Smash... i mean... Smash was Nintendo putting together Icons; and basicly invented a gengre by combining what they do best (Platforming) and something they didnt realy do before (Fighting)... So MS should think of "somthing" where they combine a Shooter( which i what i think of when i think MS) and combine it with ... something they don't really have (JRPG? bad example) and fill it to the brim with references and Xboxy things. What i'm trying to say is that i don't think the Icons are the problem; it's the genre; don't try another platforming fighter with icons. OR just don't stick to brand icons; just pick a whole bunch of things that are not specifically Xbox; but also not specifically something else; Use Doom guy; Skyrim guy; Duke Nukem; Generic Diablo character, i don't know.... :p

    Hugely controversial opinion. No game has ever failed to deliver on my expectations as much as Monster Hunter, it's entirely my fault for making assumptions based on what people were saying about it. I was hoping for a game where you hear about a monster or get contracts, then you have to actually track it, learn about it (eating habits, natural enemies, where it sleeps, where it poops, its abilities, strengths and weakness), prepare the right meal/potion, optimise your gear for it and the more you do the bigger advantage you get and more you can do against it. Ultimately each monster taking a number of in game days to master, making each day a task management to optimise your time for the quests.
    What it seems like to me, now having seen it, is timed raid bosses where you spam some attacks, occasionally sharpening your weapon or whatever for 15 minutes.

    I love every monster hunter game and rise is no exception. I would be lieing though if I didn't critique the solo play however as an ultra casual tutorial mode and super duper not what mh fans have had ever. That's my only beef with the game as it's a head scratcher for me that solo doesn't even have high rank! I mean... During mhw we all were complaining about where is G rank but they not only still don't give us G rank but gutted solo players of any challenge. I assume wide audience appeal is slowly converting over some if the core of the IP, which is to my dismay.

    I mean seriously, people often neglect multiple characters within these franchises as well. Why do you only think of Master Chief for Halo? Why not Arbiter? Why not other characters who could easily fill out rosters. Who gives a shit if you don't associate Battletoads with anything other than Nintendo. New futures, shit changes, can still pull it off of handled well.
    And the tone argument is wack. You can creatively mesh anything together, look at Fortnite, come on man.
    Sky's the limit for references and stages as well. Put minimal effort into thinking about this creatively. It's not hard.
