/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

If you want to post requests like this during the rest of the week, please post to other subreddits like /r/gamingsuggestions, /r/ShouldIBuyThisGame, or /r/AskGames instead.

Please also consider sorting the comments in this thread by "new" so that the newest comments are at the top, since those are most likely to still need answers.

/r/Games Daily Discussion - Monster Hunter: World (Beta)

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 08:51 AM PST

Monster Hunter: World (Beta)

Monster Hunter: World is an upcoming action role-playing video game in development and to be published by Capcom, and is the sixth primary title in their Monster Hunter franchise. The game was announced at Sony's E3 2017 conference, and is currently scheduled for a simultaneous worldwide release in January 2018; while it will only release for PlayStation 4 in Japan, it will launch with both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in Western regions, with a Microsoft Windows release in late 2018. It will feature much larger maps, seamless transitions between zones in the map and four-player online co-op, and will also allow players globally to play together, a first in the series.

A limited demo, exclusive to PlayStation Plus members on PlayStation 4, was offered between December 9–12, 2017; the demo included practice areas for all fourteen weapon types, and three hunting quests that can be completed using the networked cooperative support planned for the full game. Players that completed the three quests received bonus in-game items when the main game is released. A second demo period for PlayStation 4, no longer requiring PlayStation Plus, was run between December 22–26, 2017, and a final beta period, adding one additional quest, ran from January 19-22, 2018. Additionally, in the full version, PlayStation 4 players will be able to play as the protagonist Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

If you played the Monster Hunter: World beta, did you enjoy it? Why or why not?
Are you a fan of the Monster Hunter series? If so, how does this hold up to previous titles? If not, did the beta encourage you to check out the other games?
Did the beta make you more likely or less likely to purchase the game at launch?
Were there any glaring technical issues you found that will hopefully get cleaned up with the full release?

Reviews

Website/Author	Aggregates' & Critic's Score	Quote	Platform
VG247 - Alex Donaldson	Unscored ~ Unscored	The truth is, Monster Hunter has always been brilliant – but it's always been niche. Monster Hunter World feels like the right game to finally crack that – a game that makes smart changes that might finally mean that a wider audience will at last fully understand, experience and enjoy that brilliance.
gaijin hunter - gaijin hunter	Unscored ~ Unscored	Get this game, buy a console for it if you must. Met and exceeded my unrealistic expectations. Pure fun.	PS4
Eurogamer - Martin Robinson	Essential ~ Essential	Monster Hunter opens up for the most accessible, most detailed and most magnificent entry yet.	PS4
AngryCentaurGaming - Jeremy Penter	Buy ~ Buy	The amount of time, the loot system, all that kind of stuff is impressive so I will rate this as a 'Buy', but I will say that there are a number of caveats. First of all, it is an MMO-style game, it is repetitive like a Diablo, so if you don't like that, just don't even look at it because that is what you're getting. I also feel that when it comes down to it, there was a bit of a bump at the starting and I admit that the game didn't do as much as it really should have from the very get-go to bring in new people, and I think that that comes from a lot of times creators being a little too close to their product and not seeing the deficiencies there. Luckily, that initial curve smooths out, but even if just you do the main story and some of the side quests, you have an incredibly beefy game here.	PS4
TheSixthAxis - Dominic Leighton	100 ~ 10 / 10	Monster Hunter: World is the evolution the series has been waiting for. The giant creatures have never looked better, while the beautiful open world areas and the way Scoutflies assist your exploration have brought a newfound dynamism to every hunt. It remains brutally difficult and the unprepared may still be chewed up and spat back out, but this time it'll categorically be your own fault rather than the game's. Whether on your own, or in a group, now is the time to join the hunt.	PS4
Telegraph - Tom Hoggins	100 ~ 5 / 5 stars	Any issues melt away as you leap whooping from your seat, punching the air after you slay a giant beast while on your last sliver of health. In Monster Hunter: World, those heart-pounding epiphanies happen with thrilling regularity.
USgamer - Bob Mackey	100 ~ 5 / 5 stars	Monster Hunter has been in need of a big change for years, and this reboot-of-sorts could have easily gone wrong. Instead, Capcom took a careful look at Monster Hunter's design and cut all the fat while leaving the series trademark dense gameplay completely intact. All the changes, from the broad, sweeping ones to the granular alterations, only serve to improve an already winning formula. The next generation of Monster Hunter has finally begun, and, with Monster Hunter World, it's off to an incredibly good start.	PS4
TrustedReviews - Brett Phipps	100 ~ 5 / 5 stars	Monster Hunter: World is one of the best RPGs you'll ever play, and the most inviting the series has ever been. It's clear to see why the franchise has such a dedicated following, and now that fanbase is set to grow ever larger thanks to the incredible steps the developer has taken to make this game more welcoming to many more players. For those with a penchant for punishment, a soft spot for stats, and a crush on brilliant combat – you simply have to buy this game.	PS4
Reno Gazette-Journal - Jason Hidalgo	100 ~ 10 / 10	The game could have easily done what's safe and made minor improvements to a tried-and-true formula. Instead of going for the easy cash grab, however, Monster Hunter World takes a big risk creatively and financially by going for broke and making the most ambitious entry in the series to date. Is it perfect? No, it's not. Is it a 10? In the eyes of this Monster Hunter veteran, absolutely. This is the best mainline Monster Hunter game I've played. Ever. It's also one of the best games I've ever played, period.	PS4
GBAtemp - Christopher Otero	98 ~ 9.8 / 10	Monster Hunter: World stands high as top dog in the series. Tight gameplay, impressive visuals and great online only make up a small fraction of this fantastic game. A must play for vets and those new to the series alike.	PS4
Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish	95 ~ 95 / 100	World is the perfect evolution of the Monster Hunter saga. Creature and level design is great, coop mode is incredibly fun and it´s weapon system is deep. We enjoyed every second of this gameplay that finds the perfect balance of following trails, collecting resources, studying beasts and killing them.	PS4
Gaming Nexus - Eric Hauter	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	Monster Hunter World is a fascinating and beautiful game. MMO fans, action fans, RPG fans, and open world fans will all find something to love. This is a game that invites players in and gradually reveals its glorious depths. The unconventional multiplayer aspect might take some time to get used to, but the core loop of hunting monsters and crafting gear is so strong that even the most skeptical players will be snared by Monster Hunter's hooks if they give it half a chance.	PS4
IGN - Joe Skrebels	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	Whether or not it's the best, this is certainly the most audacious Monster Hunter game. World takes a dramatic leap into a look, feel, and size that feels truly new, simultaneously staying true to the series' ideals by maintaining the addictive loop of combat, intimidating monsters and meaningful upgrades that fans love. The sheer depth and commitment required is still intense, but it clearly isn't Capcom's aim to court a casual crowd. This is as all-consuming and incredible a ride as ever.	PS4
Game Informer - Daniel Tack	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	Intense battles, rewarding progression loops, and excellent multiplayer experiences make this the best Monster Hunter game to date.	PS4
DualShockers - Giuseppe Nelva	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	They created an immersive living and breathing world, allowing players to fully enjoy the charm of the titular monsters within a credible ecosystem. Combined with solid improvements in story and gameplay, this makes Monster Hunter World a must-have game for veteran fans and novices alike.	PS4
PlayStation LifeStyle - Tyler Treese	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	This is the modernization that Monster Hunter definitely needed. Not only is it the most dynamic title in the series to date, it's just a fantastic action role-playing game. Even if you've bounced off the series in the past, I highly recommend giving Monster Hunter: World a try. It's where the series finally truly clicked for me, and that is very much by design. Capcom has updated their formula for a new generation, and it's a real treat for all.	PS4
Do You Even Game Bro? - Ashy Wayling	95 ~ 9.5 / 10	Monster Hunter: World represents a new generation of incredible battles for Veteran hunters, and a launching platform for newer players to finally see what the fuss is about. It is a testament to how a passionately created project can evolve throughout the years, without compromising what made it incredible in the first place.	PS4
Xbox Achievements - Richard Walker	90 ~ 90 / 100	A colossal, polished RPG creature feature packed with a range of fearsome beasts to topple, Monster Hunter: World is an awesome debut for the series on current consoles. If this is your first bold strides into Monster Hunter's wild territory, then you're in for a real treat.	XB1
We Got This Covered - David Morgan	90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars	Monster Hunter: World is a balancing act of accessibility and classic appeal. Novice fans will enjoy the reasonable streamlining and fluid combat, while veterans will relish in the seemingly endless challenges set aside for high ranked players. Whatever 2018 brings, I'll be playing this game for a long, long time.	PS4
RPG Site - James Galizio	90 ~ 9 / 10	Capcom brings Monster Hunter back to the big screen in a big way, culminating in perhaps the best game in the franchise's history.	PS4
Hardcore Gamer - Kirstin Swalley	90 ~ 4.5 / 5	For the first entry into a new generation, Monster Hunter: World wastes no efforts in making itself a sprawling experience with enough content to keep people going even without the planned free DLC quests.	PS4
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral	90 ~ 9 / 10	The best Monster Hunter so far, and already one of the most compelling multiplayer games of the year – with an elegant balance between depth, difficulty, and accessibility.	PS4
PlayStation Universe - Timothy Nunes	90 ~ 9 / 10	With little in its way, Monster Hunter World smashes expectations with its organic, living, beautiful world. Matchmaking has its quirks and qualms, but little stands in the way of what's been created here. Monster Hunter World raises the bar high without distilling what made the franchise special in the first place.	PS4
Destructoid - Chris Carter	90 ~ 9 / 10	If you've been skipping out on Monster Hunter games for a while because they seem to blend together, jumping into World is your chance to get in. Just know that Capcom hasn't really shaken up the formula enough to piss off veterans or appeal to people who don't welcome grinding with open arms.	PS4
Player.One - Scott Craft	90 ~ 9 / 10	Longtime fans might lament some changes but the series' soul remains intact. If you have ever been curious about Monster Hunter, or bounced off a previous iteration, there's never been a better time to pick up a sword.
Gameblog - Jonathan Bushle - French	90 ~ 9 / 10	Monster Hunter World is the true reboot of one of Capcom's flagship series.	PS4
GamingBolt - Shubhankar Parijat	90 ~ 9 / 10	Monster Hunter World is a demanding game, but if you're willing to invest in it, you'll be rewarded with one of the most rewarding, addictive, and nuanced experiences of all time.	PS4
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani	90 ~ 9 / 10	All in all, Capcom has crafted a large, sprawling RPG that's addictive and entertaining without watering down any sense of depth.	PS4
GamesBeat - Mike Minotti	90 ~ 90 / 100	Monster Hunter: World is one of the more rewarding action role-playing games I've played in recent years. The game is enjoyable either solo or with other players, and it manages to take advantage of modern hardware to envelop you in a beautiful world. I never got into Monster Hunter before, but now I can't wait for this game to officially be out so I have more people to play with.	PS4
EGM - Michael Goroff	90 ~ 9 / 10	Monster Hunter: World has found a way to lower its barrier of entry for newcomers while still delivering an immersive experience that long-time fans of the series crave. The combat has a bit of a learning curve, and multiplayer could use a few tweaks, but no matter your experience level with the series, this will be time well spent for all hunters ready to pick up a sword, bowgun, or gunlance.	PS4
GamePro - Mirco Kämpfer - German	89 ~ 89 / 100	The series has never been so beautiful and accessible. Nevertheless, Monster Hunter World remains a challenging action game for grind-happy hunters.	PS4, XB1
IGN Spain - Javi Andrés - Spanish	88 ~ 8.8 / 10	Capcom will hunt new players with his biggest Monster Hunter game. At the same time it continues to feed the hardcore fans with a title that has all the keys to the series and important news. But now we will be facing bigger and more beautiful monsters and environments.	PS4
Spaziogames - Matteo Bussani - Italian	85 ~ 8.5 / 10	Monster Hunter World is an incredible game, the new consoles have simplified many old gameplay mechanics and the gameplay has an enviable variety and depths. Too bad about the lack of true innovative mechanics and the technical aspect.	PS4
God is a Geek - Chris White	85 ~ 8.5 / 10	From the gorgeous visuals to the design in its monsters and ecosystems, Capcom has made the best Monster Hunter game yet. It's just a shame it doesn't help with its complex systems an occasionally poor explanations of them.	PS4
GameSpot - Ginny Woo	80 ~ 8 / 10	Monster Hunter World successfully proves that it's both about size and how you use it.	PS4
Push Square - Glen Fox	80 ~ 8 / 10	Monster Hunter: World is easily the finest entry in the franchise to date. The move to PS4 has only done it favours, with stunning visuals and environments that you'll want to get lost in. Flashy, satisfying combat will lead to many water cooler chats, and vastly improved online features make it a breeze to find help. It's a real shame that Capcom still hasn't found an ideal way to welcome new players, but if you are able to sink your teeth into World, you'll discover an incredible action RPG experience.	PS4
Twinfinite - Zhiqing Wan	80 ~ 4 / 5	Ultimately, if you weren't already into the quest grind, there isn't much here that will change your mind. But if you relish the idea of facing down monstrous beasts with a group of friends, you'll feel right at home with Monster Hunter: World.	PS4
Stevivor - Hamish Lindsay	75 ~ 7.5 / 10	While it didn't work for me, it's evident that Capcom has done its best to welcome new players without compromising on the experience for its hardcore players — unlike other recent titles.	PS4

edit- will be back to update later in the morning

PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is teaming up with Extra Life to raise $300,000 for sick and injured Kids in the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital System

Posted: 25 Jan 2018 06:05 AM PST

Source: https://forums.playbattlegrounds.com/topic/170783-pubg-extra-life-charity-marathon/

TLDR: PUGB is teaming up with Extra Life for a limited time event that ends February 2nd. They are matching donations up to $300,000.

Here is some information specific to the announced PUBG Extra Life event. Generic Extra Life information can be found below. The PUBG event basically works the exact same way, but you'll have a special PUBG event donation profile that is separate from your Extra Life profile. You can sign up and donate from here. So if you play PUBG and want to raise money for your local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, please sign up.

I am the vice president for the Extra Life Gainesville Guild and I want to inform everyone about an excellent way they can raise money for sick kids while playing their favorite games.

So what is Extra Life?

Extra Life is a 24 hour gaming marathon, that this year will be held on Saturday, November 3rd. Most people are familiar with the idea of a walkathon. The idea is very similar, except instead of walking, we play games for 24 hours. This can be any type of game; video games, card games, tabletop games, and even sports like Basketball. Now, I know not everyone can do 24 straight hours, and that's fine! This is on the honor system. You can break your 24 hours up however you want. In 2016 we raised about $26.5k for the UF Health Children's Hospital, and last year we raised a almost $61,000. As a whole, Extra Life raised $10.6 million last year.

How can I participate?

You find people to sponsor you; friends, family, co-workers, etc. You'll have an online profile that you can share to make it easy for people to donate. Here's mine. A common amount is $24, or just $1 for every hour. It's very important to stress that 100% of the money collected goes straight to the Children's Hospital you have decided to play for. Reddit will have an Extra Life team you can join, but it looks like they have not setup their 2018 team yet.

What does the money go towards?

Very good question. I have had the opportunity to take a tour of the children's hospital and to play with some of the kids. In the tour, I got to see some of the places where the money will be spent.

Medical equipment - Well, obviously. It is a hospital after all. One such device is an ECMO. This machine is connected to a patient whose heart and lungs are not working very well. Blood goes through the machine, is oxygenated, and is then pumped back into the patient. I can't imagine how terrifying this must be, especially for a kid that doesn't fully understand what is happening.
Furniture - An example we were given is for couches with a pull out bed for parents to sleep on. After all, it's not uncommon for a child to be hospitalized for weeks or months.
Therapy - Staying in the hospital is scary. One therapy method we were told about is to help kids not be as afraid of needles. They take syringes, fill them with paint, and let the kids paint pictures with them!

There's more of course, but needless to say the money gets put to good use. Since every single penny goes straight to the hospital, they get to use it in the areas it is needed most.

What if I just want to donate?

That's fine too. You can donate to my hospital here or you can make a general donation to Extra Life. You have the option to hide your name, the amount you donate, or both so you can remain anonymous if you choose.

How else can I help?

We need people that are willing to not only play games, but to spread the word about Extra Life. Look on the Extra Life community forums to find the closest guild to you. There is a filter on the right that lets you narrow the forums down to a specific location. You can also join the official Extra Life discord server to chat with Extra Lifers all over the world.

What else should I know?

Here are a few things that didn't really fit into the sections above

The official date is Saturday, November 3rd but you can play any day you like. A specific day is chosen to make it easier on some people and to help unify Extra Lifers
There is usually no one place that is holding an official "game day event". It's done entirely on the honor system and most gamers do their game day from home.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm sure I have missed something. If you are still reading this and this is something that interests you and you feel passionate about and want to help recruit gamers, please please let me know and I will make sure to try and get you connected with other Extra Lifers in your area. We are always looking for more people to help recruit because statistically speaking, each person that signs up means $100 for the hospital.

Also, a note to the mods, I messaged you yesterday asking for permission to post this because of rule 7.14 but never got a response. However, I know Reddit likes to be involved in Extra Life and since the PUBG collaboration is fairly short I wanted to get the word out about it as quickly as possible. Please let me know if you want me to change anything about my post. Thanks!
