Throughout their time in Monster Hunter World, players will have to make a lot of decisions, but none of them are as important — or as difficult — as deciding which of the game’s 14 weapons to take up. With so many options to choose from, it can be a daunting task to figure out which weapon best fits your playstyle, and even after you’ve made up your mind, there’s still the matter of figuring out how to master your weapon’s mechanics and moveset, as well as deciding on which skills to incorporate into your build. In the hopes of making the process a bit easier for both greenhorn and veteran hunters alike, I’ve compiled some brief (and some not-so-brief) rundowns of each weapon and its playstyle, core mechanics, useful moves and combos, and recommended skills. These are by no means comprehensive guides, but I hope that they’ll serve to give players interested in picking up a new weapon a good idea of how they play and which skills … [Read more...] about The Hunter’s Arsenal: Massively OP’s guide to the weapons of Monster Hunter World

The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) Expansions Ranked From Best to Worst
The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) Expansions Ranked From Best to Worst The Lord of the Rings Online aka LOTRO is a classic MMORPG based on Tolkien’s trilogy. The game follows the books closely rather than PJ’s movies, which is great for fans of the lore. Now in its 11th year, LOTRO has seen numerous expansion releases. Each for their time added new content and features that enhanced the game. Other times, some tweaks were not well received by players. This resulted in players leaving for greener pastures or taking breaks. And since the Mordor expansion is on sale right now for 30% off, we’re ranking all LOTRO expansions. 1.

STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Dragon’s Dogma Online Review of Closed Beta
Capcom Japan Dragon's Dogma Online is one of my favorite games that I've tested this year! I've never played the original Dragon's Dogma so the combat mechanics and monster climbing was all new to me. I was a bit blown away and instantly became so addicted that I ended up leveling two of the four playable classes during the Closed Beta and played through all of the CBT1 content. The World - MMORPG or MORPG? One of the most commonly asked questions from my viewers and readers about Dragon's Dogma Online is what kind of world does it have to offer? The most simple answer I can give you is that the game falls in between Action MMORPG and Action MORPG genre. There is one main city, here players can for search for party members, pick up quests, craft gear, change job, hire pawns, etc. Once a party is formed, players can travel outside of town by running to the exit and zoning out or fast travel using the teleport system, as long one person in the party has that waypoint discovered. The … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Dragon’s Dogma Online Review of Closed Beta
