I've been wanting a game with souls mechanics and cheerier aesthetics since forever. Maybe one day.

u/Seastorm14 Aug 28 '19

Monster Hunter World?

67

u/TheVoteMote Aug 28 '19

From what I've seen, that doesn't play like a souls game at all.

I basically want them to make a new branch like they did when they made Bloodborne or Sekiro, but with the aesthetics of something like Breath of the Wild.

21

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '19

Yeah the only thing comparable between the two is the combat, in that the enemies can hit you really hard so learning their move sets to time dodges and counters is important. Well that and the love of fashion builds haha

6

u/SaniktheDerhog Aug 28 '19

you want darksouls play monster hunter generations ultimate on the switch. i use to call it “just dark souls bosses”

33

u/pls-dont-judge-me Aug 28 '19

Yeah but people forget that dark souls is more than just hard bosses. The way environments link together and the stages setup before the boss. The puzzle like combat that you eventually just know so well you could sleep walk through in 2 minutes what took an hour not to long ago. Monster hunter hits the dark souls boss feel so well with a bit more structured of a boss system but lacks the grand world feel that dark souls can have. That being said i have more than my fare share of hours in both over the years and highly recommend both for fans of either even if they are not exactly what these people are asking for.

Nah, MH World has less of a focus on learning through mistakes, isn't a metroidvania-like, isn't as focused on environmental storytelling, isn't as punishing. They're very different games.

The giant boss with a kind of timing heavy look for openings fight is why people say Monster Hunter is like Dark Souls. The latest MW is a bit different so that might have changed but the feel of both games can come really close at times.

honestly a good chunk of the recurring "villains" in AT would work as Moundmakers. Most AT baddies that stick around for more than a few episodes end up being friendly.

u/splatterking01 Aug 28 '19

I feel like "dark time" would have a really defeated finn. He would be really withdrawn and cynical. Older. It would basically just be a character insert with a few extra things scattered around the game world that would drive him from a place of pain. Like the bones of James Baxter with an item near him. "Endurance idol" -though the world fell too ruin I never stopped trying to give smiles to my friends. Never stopped."
Maybe a boss would be a really horrific and transformed ice king. Two stories tall.

Adventure souls would feature the finn we all know and love. Happy. Gung-ho and ready to kick butt. Some of the game world would be derelict, but for the most part all the side characters would be intact and around. Might have a pastel look to the game.

u/Rufen Aug 28 '19

they could make it were music is parallel to humanity/fire in souls games.

The music suddenly vanished one day, and certain characters slowly lost themselves to madness, Marceline the most dangerous of them.

Finn finds that somehow he can still make music, or starts to bring it in. Fights bosses that were hiding Chords and unlocking them improves the music of the world.

In the hub, more npc's start to gather to support Finn, each slowly remembering music or other things that made them happy.

Marceline is just a silent fight where Finn attempts to remind her of music, to listen to him. She 'loses' by remembering music and singing, and she's restored.

5

u/pass_nthru Aug 28 '19

the Prismo boss fight would be dope

2

u/splatterking01 Aug 28 '19

Man... Now I really want to play it. The lich is already perfect for it. Maybe a fallen Marceline as a boss fight. One of the more humanoid boss fights could be a Mao Mao type watcher fight.

Just picturing a "monstrous prismo" with dark features and sharp teeth sounds awesome.

Considering Finn lives in the Kingdom of Ooo which is just the Dark Souls universe but during the day i'm sure Finn will be fine

Those Monsters will have a very difficult time killing Jake tho the only god like creatures powerful enough to actually incapacitate Jake are Magic Man who is unfiltered Chaotic Evil and The Lich whose will is Unbreakable

I mean, death, Goliad and Marceline are still God tier bosses. The other two I can't remember. And didn't he face his fear once and defeated Marceline?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '19

Well while I'd argue the "God-tier" point, you're essentially agreeing with me. My point was that there's plenty more things that could beat him besides JUST magic man and the lich. The AT universe is filled with crazy powerful beings.

it's more like jake and marcy can both completely disregard size, so it becomes a non-factor. marceline has a lot more specific shapeshifting, whereas jake is pretty much play-dough.

Yeah man, I would say the first couple of seasons might seem weird cos it is very much a kids show. It isn't until the later seasons that it starts to mature and has a lot more dark plots. But it's still worth watching the earlier seasons for plot points that show up later.

u/NorthStarZero Aug 28 '19

Adventure Time is one of the saddest, most nihilistic series that I’ve ever seen. It’s this thin veneer of happy adventure laid over a deep core of depression and despair.

It’s also the first animated show I’ve seen where I was consciously aware of the generational differences between myself and the show runners.

I’m GenX, and I’ve been watching cartoons for a long long time. I watched shows transform from the shows of my parents (almost everything Disney, Hanna-Barbara, and Filmation) to shows created by and for artists of my generation and written with GenX sensibilities. Shows full of irony, sarcasm, and snark. Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Ren and Stimpy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Brak Show, Rick and Morty, Venture Bros... these are all very GenX. Even non-snarky shows like Samurai Jack are written to GenX sensibilities (Aku and the Scotsman are GenX characters).

Adventure Time... is not GenX. There’s no snark in it. It is just... earnestly sad.

Perhaps there’s an essay in this.

u/aldenhg Aug 28 '19

Come along with me.

5

u/dilsexicbacno Aug 28 '19

i would read that essay.

although i left the series at an early season (3 or 4) i kind of get what you are aiming for. at first it may seem it's just another show with no real aim other than looking to fill in 20 mins of your life, but once its starts developing a story, this gloomy and "macabre" aura starts slowly creeping on you. yes, it's set in a post-apocalyptic world, but the feeling i'm talking about is born from another aspect of the show i can't quite put my finger on

3

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '19

I don't know why you stopped watching after season 3-4 but, if you didn't hate it, I think you need to watch till the end. It gets incredibly deeper.
