Back in the late 90s/very early 2000s, I used to love the Deer Hunter series. It got even cooler when you could ride around on the ATV and pick your own hunting spot.Been playing Monster Hunter World for a couple weeks now. I'll probably pick up the expansion at some point...man I forgot how addicting these games are. Farming loot thru hunting and carving is so satisfying. 25 to 30 minute hunts, helping others defeat a tough monster, and getting your ass handed to you then seeing the calvary arrive to help you is all just so cool to me. The learning curves, different weapons and armor, and difficulty (without being sadistic) keeps me wanting to do just one more thing before turning it off.
The story is kinda meh so far, but it doesn't detract from the fun at all...at least for me.
Serious nostalgia here:
