Thread 712787012

Is having more story in monster hunter really so bad?

for god's sake I just want to hunt

>>712787012 (OP)
I want to hunt but also have sex with both of them at the same time filling their pussies with my seed.

>>712787012 (OP)
If it involves shit that wastes my time like escort missions, yes.

Yes, along with too much focus on human characters it has been the cancer killing the series on the progression side.

>>712787012 (OP)
The only people who complained about stories in monhun are secondaries, most people always loved the characters and premise, while everybody else just ignored it.

>>712787012 (OP)
this is literally just the opening cutscene
rise has the standard amount of classic monster hunter story, which is not something people complain about

The only story on monster hunter should be a rip off of moby dick.

Rise lacks soul. The old games and MHW have a certain charm to them. Rise feels like soulless corporateslop.

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes. And should be fucking sparse and skippable. Nobody fucking gives a shit, and I shouldn't be forced to listen and watch cutscenes. Especially, ESPECIALLY, since they don't even fucking care about their own lore and quirks and instead decided to remove the wyvernian language as an option. You expect me to think you care when you can't even keep that? Please. Just let me do my monster fighter game, since hunting a monster isn't a thing anymore.

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes, I generally like story focused games but MH is one of the last franchises where it should be a priority, just give me some baselines reason for fighting the monsters, can be just simple shit like they're blocking a road or someone wants a new fur pelt or guildmarm is feeling horny and I'm content.

>>712787012 (OP)
What happens when one sneak in Wyverian girl's bedroom?

What happens when one sneak in the dango girl 's bedroom?

Cute ass bangs so fucking cute

Wilds story is the most exiting thing that happened to MH since World bringing the games to HD. "I will slay zoh shia" is absolute kino

yes
if I can't opt out of the story and get into the gameplay with a button press, the game is garbage

>>712787012 (OP)
>replay something like FU, 3U, etc
>have a blast
>replay something like world
>dread having to slog through a bunch of cutscenes and slow walk segments
yes its awful. introducing voice acting was a mistake, the heavy story focus was a mistake. just let me do my own fucking thing and if you want just put a story like 4U in the game that didnt need a shit ton of cutscenes or slow walk segments or voice acting to grab peoples attention.

>>712787012 (OP)
Does your story
>Feature a 10min unskippable walking cutscene for every sub 5min hunt
>Block access to HUNTING in the Monster Hunter game
>Star a retarded lost Indian child worshipped by the cast for the bravery of being lost and retarded
>Block access to the Hub until completion for tens of hours
then yes, it's really fucking bad. Almost as bad as the performance would be for a survival horror hallway engine forced to do open world games filled with tens of NPCs walking down a city street

what capcom mean by this?

>>712788203
didn't read your entire post because you sound too angry so it felt like a waste of time

>>712787172
All these MH competitors coming out, they need to make one where you can build a harem, dress them up in outfits that you unlock, and force people to grind for hundreds of hours to get various cutscenes of you fucking them all around the town/village/wilderness.

>>712788338
That you'll buy it anyways cause it has the words Capcom in it. Pretty simple desu

>>712787012 (OP)
Your question indicates you don't understand the problem.

>>712787012 (OP)
I don't want a story, I want a fully-featured sex mini-game where I breed the wyverians

>>712787947
what even makes RE engine so "special" at rendering hallways? like any other western dev can't do?

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes, but ONLY in porportion to monster hunting, and cats cooking shit. Triple the game length and you can throw in a little more story.

>>712788581
I didn't buy wilds

It literally doesn't, it blocks access to INVESTIGATIONS, not QUESTS. You are free to do whatever optional you want EXACTLY like in every other MH game. The NEW FEATURE of open world investigation generation is unlocked upon getting to high rank. Got iltered by menus, i see

>>712788737

Wow, i can do that too. except i don't remember what was second act of sunbreak, Some mid monkey?

>>712788783
>5 fingers, plantigrade feet
off model garbage

preferably there should be 0 story whatsoever, but if the story was actually good and full of lolis I could tolerate it.

Rise's approach of having waifus instead of stories was the right way

Wilds and World were annoying as fuck

>>712788924
this is an opinion espoused by worldbabs desperately trying to convince /v/ - for some reason - that world was not their first game

>>712788983
World had none of those things. What are you on about?

>>712787012 (OP)
I don't need more story than there was in old games, that is a single dialogue introducing you to the big bad of current hunter rank and every other NPC being completely optional, but if Capcom insists on doubling down on story at least make them skippable cutscenes and exclusively at the start and end on the hunt, not in the fucking middle. Rise for the most part understood this which is why I ended up liking it's story far more than World (that and far better writing).
I also think it's incredibly gay that you have to wait until the end of support for the title for them to add the final story beat, but that's a minor complaint

>>712788983
the game with lolis was Gen/GU actually, and yes the fans of this specific game are insufferable pedo spergs that nobody likes

>>712787012 (OP)
Rise's story was very interesting for MH.
>Unique tight knit Village with people calling themselves by name instead of the usual title card calling
>You're not some greenhorn from god knows where, instead you're the village prodigy. Plus the guild gals literally pull you draggging and screaming from your bed towards your hunting job
>Guild gal (x2) is your sister
>And to top it all off they're liggers. Plus they have literal prophetic magic bullshit going on when they channel the sexo lizard duo. It's the first occurence of literally magic on MH beyond ED 'tism or wyverian """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""alchemy""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
>They even sing the area osts for you goddamn
>The area collectables narrating a nearby town or an event relating to the area for more worldbuilding
>The Elgado myth, Gaismagorm, Malzeno and the underused as fuck castle outskirts (lots of areas ripe for more spooky worldbuilding with all the horror theme going on but they don't use them)
>Even the "dude Amatsu lmao" story helps flesh them out more
>Live sleeping Espinas Cam confirming that Frontier wasn't a fever dream
Maybe they should go back and pull a Wilds with an already established settlement like Kamura or Moga instead of random sandniggers or hobo liggers complaining that their pet lizard is breaking down their milk farm or some gay shit.
People would fucking kill for a platonic scene with Hinoa and Minoto eating food alongside you and Fugen.

>>712788873
>"Nooooo!!!! You can't stop this infinite energy device that endlessly spawns civilisation ending elder dragons that will destroy countless more lives than what's in this area if we fail to hunt the unending horde of these monsters even one time! Think of the rare fish that might get hurt!!!"
I don't know if you want to compare climaxes here, anon.

>>712788924
That's GU and every MH fan agrees it's the best game

>>712789519
tendies aren't MH fans

>>712789297
>>712789436
well, my point is that story/worldbuilding were always preset and always great, worldbabs for some reason have the impression that this was a 0 story series in its early days, and thus decry the apparent transition away from 0 story in a poor attempt to fit in

>>712789519
that would be sunbreak, even the lolis are better, if fewer in number

>>712789501
>"maybe we shouldn't turn off the atomic station powering the place before at least studying it a little bit before at least trying to see if we can kill a fake ass birb dragon that didn't even woke up?"

Literally be brave and curious vs be fearful and stagnant is the theme of the game. Guild literally bringing self defence to useless natives. A peak thematic climax of the story.

>>712787012 (OP)
Good thing the story in Rise is absolutely minimal.

>>712787012 (OP)
It's like Pokemon story, every new game gets more and more convoluted with godlike creatures that can distort time and space yet get beaten WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! Nigga I'm out here collecting bugs to upgrade my armor.

>>712787012 (OP)
reviews and steamcharts would certainly indicate so yes

if the girls are hot I don't mind it, rise succeeded at that
I couldn't give less of a shit about the story in world and wilds

LOL!

>>712789720
>Literally be brave and curious
It is not brave to leave an active nuke with a ticking time bomb around, that's beyond stupid. Least of all when it is almost a perpetual energy machine that will keep spawning extremely dangerous monsters most hunters can't even hope to beat if they train their whole lives. Every single other monster hunter to date understands this concept, that to protect the most lives and nature itself Elder Dragons have to be slain even if they're minding their own business. Wilds even pretended to understand for a minute with Arkveld, then immediately went back on their values so they could respawn Zoh Shia for gameplay purposes.
Sunbreak understood this core concept of MH too. With Gaismagorm rising to the surface and threatening to kill all the life in the area, they choose to kill possibly the last of it's kind to protect everything else.

>>712790281
you missing a huge point. Usually big monsters threatens the order that needs to be protected. Here deleting it will kill literally everyone but people, who will be evacuated. Maybe some monsters will start raiding nearby lands, causing more problems. We are literally preventing the same catastrophe as in other games

>>712790281
>Gaismagorm hunted: 200

You cant kill the monster. He's just like me.

monster hunter fans only care about autistically grinding over and over again i dont know why they would have any story in these games.

>>712787012 (OP)
If it means it'll be shit like wilds, then yeah

What massacred the hype?

>>712787012 (OP)
Which one has a dick

I liked Rise's story for how simple it was and how there was a lot of lore that you could learn about if you actually took the time to talk to all the NPCs while progressing the story

>>712793232
Ibushi possessed Hinoa so she has the dick

>>712787012 (OP)
It should be 95% gameplay and 5% story. Wilds story genuinely made me want to go back to Iceborne just cause I know I'd at least have a ready to play game after the tutorial.

>>712790281
Outright destroying it is a retarded idea. Nigger the thing literally creates rain to cleanse a forest from poison, generates electricity, makes buildings float and powers up an incinerator. You have no idea if destroying it is going to just power everything down or make everything go boom.
Keeping it intact while the guild learns more about it is obviously the better option.

>>712793546
what, does it just pop out or something?

>>712787012 (OP)
Rise did it perfectly
>Big cast of appealing characters filling different tropes/roles
>All cutscenes fully skippable
>No dogshit "sniff the tracks" and "walk n talk" segments
>character interaction is fun but wholly optional
>characters can even hunt with you and have unique interaction and behavior

Rise, was a blessing. None of you believed me.
But now I'm vindicated.

>>712787012 (OP)
No as long as it isn't skippable.
But not only is the story in Wilds unskippable, it's just underwhelming.
If Capcom wants to make a story driven game they should hire actual writers at least.
And cutscene directors too. I'm tired of 90% of cutscenes in MH being
>character says anything
>player does stoic nod and heads out to do whatever

>>712793874
Rise gameplay and visuals are dogshit outside of cutscenes though
Not like Wilds is any better, but rise was not a blessing, its just a less shit product
Not to mention the part where Fio weakens the satan beast at the end of sunbreak is fucking dogshit and stupid and not in a fun campy way.

>>712787012 (OP)
This >>712787137

it's simply...le fun

>>712793689
Lizard anatomy anon, just like their dragon feet and fingers. Much like lizards Hinoa's dicks pops out of her when needed, in the case of wyverians, they pop out of her vagina.

>>712794086
Nigger that "part" is 3 seconds and gets you a single knockdown in the Urgent that you can get from the zit popping.

Also Rise gameplay and maps is only beaten by GU and FZ in terms of fun and it has the best setting and Hub since Port Tanzia.
You lack taste.

MH has generally been about both the play and the monsters, with a cool setting on the side. What lore exists is incredibly scant, but it's arguably better off that way. Focusing on story elements however has proven to annoy more people than anything, especially when it all still amounts to "hey it wasn't the flagship but rather this giga nigga all along". First it was unskippable cutscenes and then it's more scripted segments. Characters like the handler and Indian kid can also fuck right off too.

>>712794637
MH4 had the world tour which was cool, but it also had that AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS plot. 4U's being about a Rusted Kushala Daora attacking Dundorma is quite a bit of whiplash, needless to say.

>>712794146
opposite for me
i just want to fap to twins.
games/movies/anime/tvshows always fuck up twins and monhun was about the only decent pair in media.

I had my problems with Rise, but I find myself appreciating it more and more as time goes by

Handler ran into one monster and it's treated as an unforgivable sin.

>>712796705
Bullshit. It happened multiple times and you know it

>>712796705
handler not getting raped by a great jagras is an unforgivable sin

>>712787012 (OP)
Capcom has never made a good story once. I don’t know why they started to focus on it like they can

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes
Just give me hot women like the twins and good monsters to fight
It really is that simple
And above all, no shitskins

the cringey japanese acting makes me feel really angry and reminds me of hunting small cats with my cousins

>>712787386
Rise has been the most soulful iteration of MH since fucking tri, Kamura is just as comfy as Moga village

>>712794086
>He didn't like watching knight wife shield bash dragon Satan

>>712787137

Soul. The banter between Galleu and Arlow is top tier.

>>712787012 (OP)
as long as it's skippable I don't mind

>>712787012 (OP)
The only story I wanted with them involves pic related until they are carrying 4kids each.

>>712795428
What they had before worked fine. Getting to personally experience a mid-high tier monster early on, and thus given some aspiration to get stronger and hunt them in due time worked well for player motivation. And then you hunt even more dangerous monsters afterwards.

>>712796705
The unforgivable sin was your Palico hugging her and not you.

>>712798819
>He likes being cucked out of his prey by his wife
My taste is alright thank you

I liked 4U's story. Gore felt like an actual rival. We need good characters and good setpieces not grandmas and brown people.

>>712787012 (OP)
Story is fine, forcing me to walk slow and follow people for 10 minutes is not fine

>>712791637
It was pretty based of them, not gonna lie.

>>712787012 (OP)
The only thing I don't like about Rise is its story. I don't give two shits about Maggy being a bro or being the "Chosen Hunter" or some shit, I just wanna wrestle a monster to extinction. An outsider helping a small community with a problem does a lot more than all the theatrics that came with World. I've only played FU and P3rd though.

>>712787012 (OP)

The story would need to be good and also not get in the way of the player too much, also cringe anime voice acting is just too cringe, capcom can do acceptable voice acting if we by Residen Evil, it's still not as good as Naughty Dog (say what you want about the game quality but the acting sounds natural and you can play their games in front of your dad without being embarrased) but c'mon man Monster Hunter is just so cringe

>30 fps
>All monsters are shit
>PS3 graphics

>>712804091
Yeah Rise is the worst game of all time

Not really. That being said if it comes at the cost of content than yes.

>>712787386
>Rise keep story elements to absolute minimum to giving context and nothing else and let you start with either village or guild quests
>World railroad you through the story and force you into scénarisés segments and won't let you divert from the defined path
You fags can't be taken seriously, you say one thing and the exact opposite in the next sentence.

>>712787012 (OP)
monster hunter keeps trying to force a story in the games but dont make in interesting enough to keep up with or care about i wish capcom would stop trying at this point

>>712787137
This. It just doesn't need a story at all. You hunt monsters, that's the game.

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes, because the story is fucking DOGSHIT
If the story was
>look at your character doing cool shit
It would be fine
But instead it is
>Look at this sand nigger be a fucking insufferable retard for hours

>>712808041
is Wilds that bad?
I plan to wait till G-rank before buying it.
I guess time to wait till next MH from the portable team then

>>712787012 (OP)
The story focus is not why Wilds turned out to be liquid dogshit.
It was the focus on systems and mechanics which obviously took up a colossal amount of dev resources yet added nothing to the core gameplay experience of Monster Hunter.
Think the season system, the "living" world where a monster's behavior on the other side of the map is still calculated in the background, the mechanics around monster packs, etc.
None of these amounted to anything meaningful. At most, the player goes "huh that's neat" in the first hour of playing and then never thinks about it again.
But they did lead to Wilds looking like vomit and running like shit, having absolutely zero content, the horrible mess that is the Artian system...
And then you also cannot forget about how the weapon switching system, which is functionally almost totally useless, necessitated them to adopt the terrible weapon skill / armor skill split, which is another can of worms entirely.
tl;dr it's not the story that led to Wilds being so trash. It was an overzealous dev team that devoted too much time and effort into shit that DIDN'T matter, while devoting too little time and effort into the shit that DOES matter.

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes, it's ruining the entire series. It's a grinding game.

>>712787386
Rise feels more like the older games than World or Wilds.

>>712793232
Both, Minoto's skill with a lance had to come from somewhere.

>Wilds constantly sucks off the hunter as being the only one that can do anything and the entire crew exists purely to support them
>Rise gave a child a gun

Did Rise really need two sets of warrior sisters and two different princesses working regular jobs?

>>712787012 (OP)
they're so hot

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes, it's garbage. Whichever nip thought it would be a good idea in world to have everyone experience story cutscenes in a solo instance before they could play the remainder of a hunt together should get harakiri'd or whatever they do now

rise does it well because you can skip all the cutscenes
world is a piece of shit, replaying that game is a slog despite how good it is to hunt
>>712787386
but rise has soul unlike world, you can tell they just tried to appeal to everyone but in rise there's a lot of charm that isn't for everyone, the enemy intros, the meowcenaries and argosy cutscenes, kamura is possibly one of the top 3 villages in the series
you're trolling or just stupid

>>712815004
Yes.

>>712794086
>Rise gameplay and visuals are dogshit outside of cutscenes though
you're going to have to elaborate on this
rise gameplay is standard mh, the wirebug are just gu skills the visuals are not the best but also standard for mh
have you replayed world? every texture has vaseline smeared on it

>>712815478
Nta but the issue with world for me is how cluttered everything is visually. Dump a bunch of green fly effects and it all just looks shit

Why do people jack off Wilds's story so much? It's not even that good. MH4 and World's were much better despite being so simple.

>>712813093
The Wilds idea that the natives literally don't know what weapons was the dumbest idea in any of these games.

>>712787012 (OP)
it is when that story takes away from everything else
>lowest roster count for a launch game since Tri
>shit endgame loop
>shit performance
>easiest LR ever because they want to casualize the game so casuals can enjoy the shitty story more
>cut out the final boss HR version
>cut out the fucking GUILD HUB
>no room/house
>complete downgrade from worlds endemic life storage
>no new 15th weapon

and they pad out the LR story hunts via walk n chats for 2-3 minutes before EVERY new hunt. if you want to pad out time, force the player to hunt more monsters instead, not make us walk and listen to these DEI retards they stuck us with.

also
>recycled tempered monsters
>recycled frenzy virus which was half assed and basically irrelevant for the entire game

>>712816441
that was obviously a poor translation. they carry spears with them when you encounter them traveling in the world. it's the oversized monster hunter weapons that they weren't aware of.
Wilds has one of the worst localizations and English dubs of all time.

>>712787012 (OP)
It literally ruined Wilds

>>712808510
Yea the goal of adding "depth" with seasons and monster packs is directly at odds with the approach of trying to make everything streamlined and automated. All these meticulous details? No player gives a fuck, they'll just glaze over it.

It's funny and sad.

>>712812012
I've been stuck in this quest since forever, no idea how to progress

>>712808510
My favorite part is that they took things that Rise introduced and decided to "improve" them with the superior A team touch.

Palamutes giving you extra mobility? Now its a raptor that controls like absolute shit because its designed to just autorun.

Open world exploration that let you go anywhere on the map? Here's a big map with fucking nothing and getting anywhere feels fucking awful since we just built a bunch of tracks in the sky for your raptor to autorun through and you cant climb small cliffs without being mounted

Wirebugging to avoid a knockdown while monsters having moves to punish you for trying to abuse it? No just awkwardly summon your raptor to scoop you up

NPC allies that you spent the entire game helping and now are your helpful competant party members? Here's three retards you have never met before that do absolutely nothing except trigger multiplayer health scaling

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes if it is annoying. World was okay, it was not overbearing and forcing me into walk and talks, the multiplayer part of it was a bit annoying though.

Went back to playing worlds again since wilds is just so ass, honestly the weapon changes to wilds, whilst fun, really do not matter that much anyway cus wounds are so broken, and so is your damage. I did the end game content with starter weapons for fun and it barely makes a difference, what a piece of shit game.

Never played rise, ignoring all the trannies seething about it not being worlds with futacock mods, is it actually a fun game with engaging gameplay loop or are there mandatory mods that universally improve the game? Also heard longsword is giga broken or something and no other wep matters. My only experience with rise since launch is shooting cum to the loli's.

Is Luchika a psychopath or just retarded?

I'd say so, although it's a bit on the easier side for most of the game. You hunt monsters to make cool gear to hunt more monsters. Allows for more playstyles than any other game in the series while you do it thanks to the switch skills and armor skills. Dunno about mods. Maybe the ones that shrink the UI?

>Also heard longsword is giga broken or something and no other wep matters
Not true at all, all the weapons do fine. LS actually got nerfed since release Rise anyway

Going from the twins to Fio was the biggest downgrade in the series.

Why does this game try so hard to have a plot when it's not needed and nobody cares about it

>>712787012 (OP)
Yes. It means budget wasted on non gameplay

Pick one

World story was awful. We are following the monsters to the new world and the monsters are here because they just are. Handler doesn't seem to do fucking anything at all. You just kind of aimlessly track monsters and then slay them. Shittiest pacing of all as far as the story quests went, most of it felt like a chore.
Rise was your typical MH story with a few cutscenes. The rampage is happening but let's have you arbitrarily do a bunch of other quests before allowing you to fight the source of the problem.

I think Wilds was the best we got so far. Everyone on the expedition has clearly defined research specialties and goals. Ecology of zones is more fleshed out. The guild's goals and mission statement are on full display and you get a real idea of what they are about more than ever. The quests just take you through every LR monster, give you a reason you are fighting each one the first time. I just think the whole thing was done way better than what World tried to do.

i can't do that. the three of us are one. it's not even polygamy(a sin) because the three of us are 1 soul united.
you wouldn't understand since you don't have what we have.

rise story was non intrusive
skip skip skip here you go take a picture of utsushi and then you can hunt
takes 1min total after character creation

>>712831936
The only option is both

Lack of monsters that are interesting to fight (we have the apexes, arkveld, gore and zoh shia), and horrible performance.
