Only ichinose can save monster hunter

He's a ichi but also a nose at the same time

Removing loading screens did irreparable damage to the scale of monster hunter. When you moved areas you weren't just moving to the room directly beside it you were traveling a long ass distance. When you jumped off a cliff it was a a fucking mountain where you would be falling for several minutes before hitting the ground.

I’m more of an FU guy but GU still looks great.

Anon, you're being hyperbolic.

I think Wild's scale is pretty good. I'll grab a couple screenshots and post them in a bit

>>715335517
it's true and worldbabs will never understand it, individual zones allowed maps to have far more variety

>>715335838
I think having an ultrawide monitor helps realize the grand scale of open world games

It's never coming back because suits decided that loading sceens are icky.
You're going to get narrow passages marked by yellow paint, and you're going to like it.

>>715335838
Op is right, climbing ruined pinnacle feels very immersive compare to any modern mh
And these matte painting like background very easily able sell a sense of scale whereas all nuMh map feels like small island isolated from mainland

>>715336489
Sorry, anon. I liked the maps in Wilds and Sunbreak too, but what you posted just looks like the scale of this single zone here >>715336773
It's even sillier in the three newest games than just scale too, since it makes the monsters all hang out like a kilometre from each other.

>>715336489
Less is more
You can able to see almost all major zones in the opening are of picrel

>>715336905
Area*

Also the image clarity in older games are much much better compared to modern one where everything looks muddy and rocky

>>715337065
that's not unique to monster hunter, modern games lack all clarity

>>715336489
I don't feel like responding to each of you individually so I'll try to make broad responses. I like how scale is represented in both games for different reason. The art looks great in the Classic era. They can give the feel that the world is MUCH larger. In the end it's just flat art. I like how far they've gotten with Wilds, because it's actually modeled in game. In this pic you can see the Windward Plains monument. I'm amazed at the technological significance I suppose, but I feel like it's just as beautiful as some things you find the classic era

The point people are making is that due to how the new maps are seamless, in terms of scale and not actual traversal, the newer games are a lot smaller. In the older games the implication of the loading screen transitions is that you're traveling absurd distances and protecting the entire countryside. Meanwhile in the newer titles the actual area you're covering in the entire game is about the same as a single map from the past games, the sense of scale is completely off.

my problem with all modern games is i know for a fact that everything in between is flat, or little hallways to hide having too much geometry on screen, which is the proper way to do it. my issue is the "what if?" feeling of older games just resonates with me more. i see a giant open world, i know how flat it actually is, i know the limits, and i know that even when i hit those limits, i'm gonna get slapped with a "can't go there lol" message, which obliterates the believability. i know there's nothing out there, but the "what's out there?" thoughts are just more interesting than "oh, it's a bunch of photoscanned rocks, and an invisible wall".

You couldn't do Valstrax's nest in modern MH.

I understood that, I just don't necessarily agree. In a ton of maps (not all), it didn't feel like the room transition implied I was traveling a long ass distance. When I jumped off a mountain, I didn't feel like I was falling several minutes. I didn't say that anon was wrong, I just said he was being hyperbolic

>>715337752
How did you feel about Rise and being able to pretty much climb over anything? I really liked being able to climb all around that mountain in the first map. Using those launching wirebugs were pretty cool too

>>715335517
You're right but I still think the series had to evolve past the loading screens. World and Wilds do a good job of creating general scale but imagination & loading screens do an insane amount of heavy lifting that just can't be replicated in a game that wants to let you actually run the distance seamlessly without most of your hunt time being monster chase time, something Rise and now Wilds are adamantly against (Think too many people got lost in Ancient Forest and it fucked up the dev team)

neat, but i felt the illusion of an area was gone, because i was zipping across the whole thing in seconds. the movement feels good, but it absolutely contributes to rise feeling like a speedrunning sessions, where every hunt is just teleporting to the monster, dumpstering it, and then warping back to town to look at twin titties for a few seconds before your next 3 and a half minute curbstomp.

>>715338006
god volumetric clouds look so shitty. it's every game too, just big, blurry, fucked up clouds that just exist to have the occasional dynamic dark spot on the ground.

>>715338254
nah they can look incredible, just look at rdr2 or star citizen

are the clouds in wilds even volumetric? they look so low res

>>715338006
>a ton of maps (not all), it didn't feel like the room transition implied I was traveling a long ass distance.
Some of them you weren't, often it literally was just into the cave or down a small cliff. In the end it's not a big deal either way I suppose, the important part is the level design itself and how it feels to fight in those areas. Sadly Monster Hunter hasn't really ever done too well with that aspect, so it's just a matter of preference. Not like there's anything wrong with a game being set in a single region anyway.

>>715338096
Everything you just described is what makes Monster Hunter so great. Each title stands on it's own and doesn't invalidate the other. Monster Hunter 1, G, and Freedom are essentially the same game, but they all offer pretty different experiences. Each game has a different roster, which means different weapons/armors/skills to choose from. Rathalos from 1st gen, doesn't feel the same as 3rd or 6th. The weapons feel different between each title. Classic Era is an entirely different feel than the Modern Era, but I love both equally.

All I'm saying is that I love Monster Hunter and it makes me depressed that these comfy threads basically don't exists anymore

>>715338839
Oops. Forgot I had this one queued up

>>715338839
>and it makes me depressed that these comfy threads basically don't exists anymore
world and wilds turned a niche game with a comfy community, into a soulless product with a giant community, that evaporated in a month. chasing normies kills everything good.

>>715339018
Nothing lasts forever, but it kinda sucked to see it happen so fast and then get told it wasn't happening.

>>715339018
I just wish they ported all older gen mh to pc with proper online support, i miss seeing same players in lobbies

>>715339865
insane shareholders think that a bunch of older games would syphon players away from the new game, instead of using their brains and thinking
>we can sell more monster hunter
it's all so tiresome.

>>715339018
No anon. This is exactly what I'm talking about. World and Wilds are both great. They both have things to criticize just like any other game. I started with 3U. I've played every game since. World is my favorite because of the incredible highs. I went back and played MH1 and love it just as much as any other game. I think Wilds has the greatest base game in the franchise and it's on track to being my favorite title. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's soulless.

>>715335517
nah Rise's maps are great

>>715335415
This.
I have never had a Ouija board in my house, and I NEVER WILL. There are just some things you should never mess with.

I just want more colors, smaller maps and fewer mechanics

>>715335273 (OP)
Old monster hunter is dead anon and it will not come back.
MH X was a funeral celebration taking you through the majority of the series, to relive the good moments one last time.

>>715340673
>no MHXXX
we got robbed

>>715340260

>>715338839
>1, G, and Freedom are essentially the same game
Not even close. Just like Freedom 2/Unite aren't the same game as Dos. Just like Tri isn't the same game as 3U (and more blatantly 3P). It's only starting with 4 that the games didn't fundamentally change that much anymore beyond adding more to the story.

So male hunters are power fantasy while female hunters are fap fuel?

>CEMU for 3U
>Citra for 4U
>PPSSPP for an occasional P3rd or FU
All I need nowadays
World was enough for me to realize what the series had turned into

>>715343718
>but they all offer pretty different experiences.
Anon, why would you ignore the key part? I'm intimately familiar with Gen 1.

>Each title stands on it's own and doesn't invalidate the other.
I even said this before that

oldschool remasters when

>>715335273 (OP)
The next MH game will be Monster Hunter Oceans
trust the plan

>>715335273 (OP)
>only the nepobaby producer can save monster hunter
the only one capable of saving MH is the portable team
itchy nose pushed for the total casualization of the series and barely any non-crapcom collabs

First gen games are like Zoroastrianism.
FU is the Old Testament, Portable 3rd is the New Testament.
4U/GU are Western Manichaeism while RiseBreak is Eastern Manichaeism.
World is the Quran, Wilds is the Book of Mormon.
He who has ears let him hear.

this but I'm just going to play GU and Frontier until the heat death of the universe
