I’ve played CBT and both OBT.
its…fun…sort of. The gameplay and performance are great. They just don’t really know what the game is.
If it had been Capcom EDF dinos, banger. But its not. They have this forced PvEvP model and most of the combat is just spammy on hordes of raptors. And they’ve added a story that unlocks as you do these online-only missions.
So, from experience, 100% do not buy this game for $60 dollars. Gamepass only, and even then it won’t last long, imo.

Sounds like you may be the right person for Exoprimal. It’s releasing next month and day 1 game pass, which is the only way I’d recommend it. Do not buy at full price.

that has all kinds of engaging dialouge. The story and characters is a huge piece of the appeal.

The users that believed in/supported the protests and are most against the changes are still not there. So you’re left with the echo chamber of doom scroll monkeys that need their fix. Quite appropriate for reddit, honestly.

The new design is almost 100% success in my eyes. The controller input UI is the stain on Steam UI/UX department. It is simply nothing but a downgrade from the classic UI. Technically not a part of this update, but it was all informed by the steam deck overhaul. So I count it as the only miss out of this whole wave of updated looks.

Interesting name you got there

I used TGx before I found RARBG.
RARBG was a big step up in quality, but back to TGx I go. And you can still do the imdb search there too, thankfully. They have their own RG with decent size/qual, just keep in mind we lost a GOAT when comparing.

It’s free to try, do it.
My favorite thing was its more roguelite than roguelike. There is defined, achievable progression and you can choose to risk your loot for more reward or play it safe and go a little slower. That’s probably the piece of the puzzle that’s been missing for me from this genre.

ACG has a preview vid from a bit ago for an outside perspective: ACG Atlas Fallen Preview

This comment proves there is such a thing as the perfect answer.

And right after I comment that, both our posts appear over there. Guess the pipeline is established.

Hey, just wanted to let you know I think this fell into the void. Doesn’t appear our posts are making it to lemmy.ml yet.
You’re welcome to repost on our /m/MonsterHunter. May not not been around yet when you tried this.
I think putting it in the microblog as a picture is probably best, rather than a thread. So use the “add post” option if you do.

Love the new overlay. And all the pages load so much noticeably faster, its great.
Wish the new News button next to notifications took you directly to your news instead of Steam only. Keeps my news 2 clicks away. Minor gripe.
And I still firmly believe the Controller Input redesign is outright bad, like no redeeming quality over classic. But It was previewed before this, so not really a knock on this update.

Rotary. It was a well aged OS at the time with its own issues, but fun to use.

And shadow bans/karma limits. Had engagement actively stifled so many times from being unable to submit or those submissions being hidden.
Here, I make an account and I’m in here sharing the awe with everyone else. Simple as.

It didn’t sink in until reading your words, but, yeah, 100% agree. It gives me the good vibes tingle thinking about being in the thick of a possible move from stagnation into something new and exciting for internet communities.
