Give me your honest review on risebreak
No shitposting this time

>>717236418 (OP)
Best mh game ever made.

It's fun but I still don't like Arts/Silkbind, completely removing secondary armor design is super lame, and the whole NPCs slobbering on your dick schtick doesn't feel earned

i found a cute dog

>>717236418 (OP)
I think It's rather easy and forgiving and you only start eating shit sometimes at the very end part of the game.
But It's also pretty fun, moves are satisfying to execute, the farming part is a matter of, I'd say between 3 to 6 hunts on average for the rare shit. Running around with npcs is fun. The Tower Defense thing gets repetetive really fast but It honestly beats the Kulve Taroth farming.
8/10, I personally prefer World to It

>>717236418 (OP)
I don't hate the Rampage Quests. They just suck if your Teammates are retarded.

>>717236418 (OP)
fun/10 had a good time. the base game is good, did have fuckups like the rampage stuff, but sunbreak turned it into something amazing. I really like the follower system, livened things up to have some people always around.
also has khezu, the best monster

>>717236418 (OP)
Much better than Wilds

>>717236418 (OP)
It was good except for the wirebug and active skills replacing any real gameplay, the ruined weapons such as the hunting horn, the spirit bird mechanic which was shitty, the end game being gacha rng instead of slow meaningful progression, rampage sucking dogshit, floating gay upside down monsters like a shitty jap b movie like godzilla, the inability to grow gloamgrass buds, the retarded anime twins, dango, that buddy kid sounding like he was cumming every time you entered the buddy area, shitty matchmaking and 4 man lobbies, cosmetics sold as individual pieces, guild cards having nk reason to exist and the MMO end game fights where you have to jump dive roll vault every 5 seconds
other than that it was worth a play

>>717237238
oh yeah and dango sucks fucking ass, palamutes are gay as fuck and volvidon

I liked the added movement options

I wish capcom would update the switch version to run at 60fps on switch 2

It has cute lolis

>>717236418 (OP)
>mobage tier grind

Not MH.

I haven't actually played it yet, i just like to shit on it to make people who hate World/Wilds mad.

I haven't actually played those either yet, i'm a FUfag.

gets way better when you get to sunbreak

>>717237648
I know it's bait, but i really don't know why some people recommend Tri over 3 Ultimate.

sunbreak saved what would have been a mediocre game and had one of the best fights in the franchise.

>>717240248
iirc the english release of 3U has a hidden 50 defense applied at all times even when you're naked so the game is significantly easier

that said this isn't impossible to mod out and patches for it already exist that do that so there's really no call for recommending 3's base over its expansion

>>717236418 (OP)
Was my 2nd mh game, first being world.
Had a great time with it.

which fight?

>>717240248
that's portable 3rd, not tri
blindanon

mounting bad. dogs bad. special cooldown moves undermining regular moveset bad. fast gathering bad. still a great and fun game for reasons I can't be bothered to describe. I just hate everything that disrupts the flow of the game or streamlines it so much it cheapens the experience, stuff that has now put the series in a bleak spot. Should have been nipped in the bud but they got too cocky and kept doubling down.

>>717241420
wyvern dive on insect glaive landing is better than sex

>>717241420
>fast gathering is bad because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>717236418 (OP)
It is like world but with worse graphics and instead of the shitty claw you got the shitty bugs, except the bugs are optional so you can ignore them.

Pretty easy in general, hunts take anywhere from 3 minutes to 10 minutes, rarely some quests reach the 15-minute mark save for some very endgame monsters which require some retarded and completely uncalled-for rank grinding, still a fun game and in my humble (yet absolutely correct) opinion the best recent MH game.

>>717236418 (OP)
I like being able to go on hunts with AI hunters, even if I used them as distractions most of the time, and passive ranged DPS otherwise.

sunbreak is like a fighting game where I spend more time in the training room figuring out how to operate every weapon optimally but never fight a monster because fighting monsters causes my ADHD brain to stall repeatedly when thinking of all the different possible options to use at any given moment
sure there's a lot of spammy stuff too but when there's maybe 5 other things you could do at a given time to get a good result, it just feels like i suddenly get a mental input delay and i start getting hit by things i would never get hit by in 4U/GU/World/Wilds
great fun though, i just wish i could be satisfied with not playing what feels like the optimal way but at least it's in a good way compared to clutch claw being both optimal and feeling bad to use at the same time

>>717236418 (OP)
The ninja grappling hook insects were a bit much and the defense game was just ok but at least it was better than world.

>>717240904
Yeah, you're right, got my wires crossed. Always forget how much portable 3rd muddies the waters when people talk about “early 3rd gen.” Still wild how many people swear by it like it wasn’t just Tri with anime sauce and missing underwater.

>>717245815
because it wasn't just tri, it plays nothing like it and has its own movement feel and movesets/monsters/patterns/enemies/weapons/locations/charm system etc.

Rise was pretty mid. Rampages were an absolute disaster and the only good thing to come out of them was the music.
Sunbreak was great.
I loved anomaly investigations. It was more fun endgame filler than Grinding Lands. Not only you get the incentive to fight early game monsters again, but most of them recieve pretty substantial buff making them a threat.
I hope they'll go with something like that for Wilds' expansion endgame.

>>717243097
If you streamline something to such extreme point, might as well get rid of it completely. Just introduce some bullshit mechanic that auto gathers shit when you pass a gathering point.
Absolutely soulless.
They should bring back gen 2 gathering where you couldn't even hold the button to gather but had to spam it. Imagine the meltdown from normie cattle.

>>717236418 (OP)
Most fun mh. I started with 3u but rise is the only one that keeps me coming back.

>>717236418 (OP)
Capcom is so shit.

>>717236418 (OP)
Pretty good. Fast, snappy.
Anomaly Hunts are the worst endgame to ever exist in the history of the series.

>>717236418 (OP)
how do I turn this off

>>717236418 (OP)
It's fun and all, but they should've given people a hardcore option though
(max 200HP, slower bug recovery, tone up all status effects, monsters don't fuck off in the same area)

on a personal wishlist
>half the AR levels and put a gatekeeper every 10 levels
>Gaismagorm Advance quest
>Ibushi Narwa double threat
>replace Amatsu with Ahtal Ka

>>717236418 (OP)
Really fun, and goddamnit I fucking love the Sex Axe, everything just perfectly flows into each other, no other game in the series came remotely close.

>>717247712
Yeah they should really have made the game less fun, I can't tell everyone online how hardcore I am like this.

>>717238528
Whatever, dude.

>>717237168
>>717237087
nooo you are not supposed to not hate Rampage

I think Rampage would've been fixable. One issue was they were generally too easy.
The bigger issue is however that they felt all too sameish and scripted. 9minutes of gallery shooting at whatever, it doesn't even matter what random assortment of monsters arrive. Then the target shows up, smashes your first gate and you just spam dps skills because you get permanent gong and the monster mostly ignores you.

>when your teammates aren't retarded
There really isn't that much to do wrong. The only time I struggled was when I did the Rajang one with a friend (2player). It was funny in a retarded way.

>>717247570
Explain how it's worse than 4U. It's same but better in every way.

This is one of its biggest problem. Like the previous phase never mattered, might as well skip straight to defending the second gate

>>717248492
If your hunts are like that it's a (You) problem

>>717236418 (OP)
I liked it. Best iteration of swaxe and gunlance in the series imo.
I was NOT a fan of what they did with HH though.

>>717236418 (OP)

Is fine but worse than World/Iceborne

>>717236418 (OP)
Tendies will storm every MH thread and call it the best game ever made.
They then proceed to not play it.

>>717245815
It's FU but gen 3 content, retard.
Shows you never played it.

>>717236418 (OP)
Only made it to high rank but it's fine; it's not for me but I can understand the appeal. It adds so many elements that are a departure from what I like and the simplicity of past MH games (wirebugs, wall running, mounting, dogs, etc) that makes me uninterested. I absolutely hated the base defence; what were they thinking with that? Oh right, I'm still not sold on an open map because it's a slog chasing monsters around the map, especially to their nests. The first area is the worst for it, with monsters running to the top right corner to sleep, which is behind a mountain that is a pain to navigate to quickly.

>>717249929
nta but I can't think which 3rd gen MH is worse between P3rd and 3U. P3rd is the first modern--or at least what was considered modern--MH game and does a lot right but is not as feature complete as 3U. It is also probably the easiest MH to date so there is no challenge to the gameplay. 3U has content but it's also the first game in MH where you can see the shift in direction with the gameplay once the monster new to 3U come around; they all have bullshit patterns and attacks that make the game "harder" but significantly less fun. They lean heavier into that design mindset in future games, which is not a good thing. Tri was the best gen 3 game and probably my favourite MH, even as tech demo because the gameplay was extremely fun and there was so much promise and potential.

>>717250685
>they all have bullshit patterns and attacks that make the game "harder" but significantly less fun
brother, you're describing at least 70% of pre-Tri monsters.
did you somehow fucking forget how much of an unbearable pain in the balls Plesioth or Kushala were?
bullshit patterns havr always been a staple of monhun, at least from what I remember.

>>717250967
You're joking, right? Maybe I didn't clarify what those "bs patterns" meant. I mean that unlike previous games where you could properly position to avoid attacks, that's no longer the case because there's a lot more tracking to the attacks, forcing the player to dodge out of the way. It also introduced shitty monsters like Brachydios that reposition themselves after attacks so that it's harder to punish them after they attack. Sure, you had broken hitboxes like Plesioth but the hip check was so egregious that you learned to either dodge it or get out of the way real quick. Kushala was always a pain; bad monster fights remain monster fights, nothing new there.

If Rise/Sunbreaks is brought up and someone immediately starts ranting about rampage then I assume it's a shitpost.
Even if you only play the story from start to finish with minimal else, rampage are about 20 minutes at most. The amount of focus they get doesn't match up and they aren't even that bad.

It has my favourite charge blade moveset by far, just wish energy blade from GU was kept as a silkbind

>>717236418 (OP)
tied for worst MH with generations, one is probably worse I just dont care to find out. Gen has more content, but Rise is more boring. Both have the same issues.
Gen has 80% of its content being pointless padding though so maybe its worse overall.

either way theyre both anti-MH in design. only liked by tourists who never played MH until it came to switch.

>>717251963
The low rank ones are fine, its the high rank ones that suck, and for a while that was the only way to farm ibushi, they added the actual ibushi fight post-launch

>>717236418 (OP)
It's not the same MH I fell in love with, but given the fact that the only alternative is whatever the world/wilds are doing, I very much prefer rise. Also the maps are genuinely better and they made Rathalos fun and Kushala not unbearable in rise.

>tfw Rise/Sunbreaks is brought up and someone immediately starts defending any critique

>>717253160
We used to call that a discussion. When people wouldn't immediately flip out because someone had an opposing opinion.

Worst "story" part of any games prior to wilds. Base game progression is extremely boring.
Best End game of any monster hunter and most diversity and choice in weapons and armour.

If p3rd had better difficulty and more content I would argue it would still be the best mh game. It is so well made and its just amazing to play and look at. It improved on everything from 2nd gen.

>>717236418 (OP)
The best of the new-age MH games, and it isn't even close. Fast-paced, crazy movesets, top tier armor and weapon designs, excellent roster, among the best OSTs in the franchise, good singleplayer (at least in sunbreak) content with a wealth of the best companions they've ever made to team up with if you like, best endgame they've ever had. It's a bit on the easy side until late Sunbreak, but nowhere near as braindead as World and Wilds.

>>717236418 (OP)
The worst MH game along with GU, both suffering from the same problem. The combat just feels too removed from classic monster hunter combat. Some other problems I have with the game are
>monster always being visible on the map
>adhd hit effects
>obtrusive hud
>wirebugs and silkbind
>buff birds
>hunter voicelines
>desaturated and muddy graphics
>uninspired map design
>forgettable monster designs (for the most part)
>rampage quests

It just feels too arcadey. It speaks volumes for the MH franchise that even at its worst I managed to sink 200 hours into it.

>>717241420

YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TICKED ME OFF

I started with world and didn't played rise because it doesn't look like world then i went back and finish gu,3u,4u,p3rd and finally gave rise a chance and started to enjoy it more than world
I don't know why but it feels very similar to pre world mh, I just beat primordial malzeno and he's probably my favourite fight in whole mh and i can't wait to fight risen monster

>>717236418 (OP)
I put a 1,200 hours in it. I liked it, obviously.
As a game it's fucking great, as a Monster Hunter game, not so much.
The franchise is called Monster HUNTER not Monster FIGHTER
When you take away the most core elements of your franchise (required knowledge of the areas, maps, paint balls, etc)... It's no longer the same game.
Going back to GU and earlier, there was soul... You had to actually KNOW the Monster, you had to properly prep, you had to hunt the monster, you had to track the monster when it ran.
Now?
Everything is done for you, real time monster locations, mounts that auto pilot you to the monster, no need to prep as any build will do just fine.
OG Monster Hunter is dead. Nu-Monster Fighter is here to stay, which is quiet sad.

I dont even dislike wire bugs and I barely remember to use them why are people who hate them using them

>>717248492
I hate how tigrex got changed in world and rise, he's so unthreatening now

>>717255435
>You had to actually KNOW the Monster, you had to properly prep, you had to hunt the monster, you had to track the monster when it ran.
None of this is true.

>>717248903
they had to hide the "hard fights" in that cucktower where you get your gay pride bird for stats and a single frog and spider
Anything spawning anywhere else follows that precise same playbook unless you enjoy getting mauled by Malzeno constantly.
btw using all of that shit is considered "skillful" as GS main lmao.

>>717255435
All monster hunter were monster fighter before world, world is the only game where you track monster

>>717236418 (OP)

I'm playing mh since dos and everything you mentioned is pure rubbish
You probably one of those world babby who misunderstood this franchise

>>717254531
The levels and the bird gathering are boring, otherwise I wouldn't enjoy World more than Rise if I actually cared about story. I enjoy looking around me trying to find little shit to somehow get me an opening to blast my GS into those mobs, with Rise you have all that shit in your pocket already

Their movesets were simple. So was yours. There was barely anything to learn.
>Properly prep
Actually true, especially since skill access for something like poison immunity is harder to come by. But remembering to throw some energy drinks into your bag or whatever is hardly engaging.
>Hunt/track it when it ran
You mean throw a paintball at it? Then you've got a nice pink orb floating majestically over your map? Very engaging. Honestly the only game where you're really 'tracking' is World and even then it's just copping out with the scoutflies.

>>717255351
If full voices cut the amount of varying grunts we can pick, then yes, it's worthy of hate

>>717255607
People only started saying this bullshit about "muh prep" once it started to go away. Before world came out nobody ever fucking said that prepping for a hunt was this awesome immersive thing - because it wasn't. It's total nonsense that got pulled out of your asses to call the new thing shit. You learn which zones a monster spawns in WOWEE HOLY SOVL

>>717255450
>why are people mad devs wasted their time on unnecessary time-consuming, core gimmick of a game
You people always post the dumbest shit huh

Monster hunter prep is a fucking chore like inventory management in rpgs. Nobody says they like inventory management in elder scrolls but if TES6 removed the weight limit suddenly there'd be a million fags crying about casualisation and the removal of this immersive mechanic that made you engage with the game.

>>717256182
That's not the argument anyone makes retard.

>>717256296
Ok, listen, I hate these nostalgiafagging (or larping worldbab) "muh preppers" as much as the next guy, but it's not a chore to add one item to your inventory and maybe switch to a different element weapon. Get over yourself.

>>717256296
I’m so glad they added hot and cold drinks back to wilds! SOVL! FRANCHISE IS SAVED! SUCH PREP!

>>717236418 (OP)
It's a stylish action game for children. Grown ups play Worlds Iceborn and Wilds which have mature stories and gameplay for mature people like me.

>>717256602
Based adult men

>>717256364
>you can ignore the mechanics bro
Basically saying that Rise's whole combat mechanic is built on unnecessary trash that wastes everyone time, time which could be put into better dev time like paying more modellers for Gunner armor

>>717256489
It's a chore in that it literally adds nothing, it's just something you have to do but until it was taken away nobody ever viewed it as a good thing. It's just a thing you have to do. Figuring out what you're going to use is fun the first time, but once you know all that's left is the tedium of moving shit around. It's like if people complained about loadouts because having to change items one at a time adds to muh prep

>>717256782
But I thought the wirebugs made the game too easy

>>717248720
In no universe is Rise’s story worse than World’s. No reasonable person can argue that two dragon babes and a village that constantly sucks your dick for saving their home is a worse plot than “Gluttonous Retard and Girlboss Granny save the world with their hunter sidekick” like we got in World/Iceborne.

>>717236418 (OP)
Probably the best roster of monsters of all time.
Didn't love the endgame grind, but I never do anyways.
I thought wirebugs were sometimes cool, I'm just not a fan of CD based attacks.
Palamutes are great, hoping they come back in the next monhun.

Why did they fuck up the online so badly in this game? Was it really so hard to just copy Worlds SOS system?

What's wrong with World Alatreon? One of the best fights in the series.
I don't like World for the most part, but it definitely has some great points and Alatreon is one of them.
I would have liked to see him in Rise too, though.

>>717236418 (OP)
In general enjoyed it, wished they combined rise + world well, (Most of Wirebug moveset w/o wirebug) + worlds environment. No Khezu please and add Gigginox next time.

>>717259294
>No Khezu please
Khezu is the ultimate shitter filter. He should be in every game.
I hate Khezu as a side note, but he is crucial to the ecosystem, he needs to be there. If it were up to me, Gypceros would be in every game for the same reason.

The monsters didn’t feel as alive, but the weapon movepools were much better in Sunbreak. Courage hammer was amazing to play. It also had the crabs which makes it 10/10. I prefer the Rise maps and the freedom of movement compared to wilds on rails birds. Endgame grind was brutal with garbage rng though.

>>717259286
I just feel like risebreak team could have cooked more with him, that's all

>>717259392
lol khezu is a punching bag, they can add punching bag in the game, better add a nonugly one, i dislike khezu cuz its ugly and they have a better alternative

>3U adds another 50 base def so know G-Rank is more like HR, slime weapons are broken and some of the 3rd monsters don't return, maps return somewhat to Tri, but the graphics are somehow worse than Tri

>>717259392

>>717236418 (OP)
absolute fucking kino and the last gasp of the series.

>>717255726
>MH now
mobilefag kill yourself

I really enjoyed GU
The game was built around wirebugs so all of it makes it feel good, more aggressive monsters but you have options to defend yourself against them, it's engaging
The monster selection is very good but I'd have added 2-3 more
Maybe it doesn't have the best graphics but the art direction is beautiful, the OST has some better remixes but some are a bit weak (Valstrax GU had a better theme)
It's easy for the most part in LR and HR but Magnamalo and the original monsters can kick your ass easily
I thought Palamutes were ok but I started using the Palico more and have been sticking to Palico only, you have ways to move around the map that are faster than the Palamute, cutting a 15-16 mins hunt down to 14-15 but getting less utility doesn't seem worth it
Story is dumb but characters are charming, I don't play Monster Hunter for the story

I started with 4U, I have played 3U, X, GU, Risebreak and Worldborne and I can easily say that on PC and modern consoles, this is the best one
Maybe if we get GU on PC (official) that could change

When you ask yourself "Why is Wilds so shit?" remember this and that video

>>717260012
3U is easy until you get to dual brachy urgent

>>717259624
Why can't we get both.
There is no good reason other than having two pale cave creatures

>>717258890
why the FUCK wasn't molten tigrex in sunbreak

>>717260012
No underwater makes p3rd worthless, honestly.

its my favorte, i just wanna fight and grind(by fighting), i hate the tracking and cotton picking.

>>717260993
genuinely they probably forgot lmao

>>717261030
Underwater was only fun in the lr and start to get repetitive afterward
P3rd was way to easy and lack endgame but its way better than 3u

>>717236418 (OP)
have like 12k hours in the entire series, honest review inc
>best endgame system
>overall has the most monsters that are fun to hunt of all games desu
>jungle remake is one of the best maps
>fun story and characters if you care about it
>unique take on songs but some of them got ruined(bazel lmao)
>very gameplay focused so you can jump into action quickly
>mobility is fun
>bajillion viable armors and weapons thanks to augmenting and charm melding
>can play with followers if you feel lonely or overwhelmed by difficulty
>good performance even on toasters because it was designed for portable console

but there are also some negatives
>hammer and hh got absolutely fucked
>longsword was entirely a mistake
>some wirebug skills are mandatory to make weapons even viable, else they don't even function anymore (hammer lol)
>investigations can feel grindy for those who aren't a fan of it
>if you disable dogs then traversing the map can feel really slow
>it's a switch game so it was downgraded compared to world in many aspects when it comes to maps


overall really good game, it's my current favorite but 4u still has a special place in my heart
it honestly could've used monsters like
>lunastra
>alatreon
>tigrex variants
or even just more deviants from GU but thanks to the anomaly system you aren't going to get bored easily

its a great game to play with your (literal) bros

>>717261449
>hammer and hh got absolutely fucked
they're both good, hh having to engage in combat to buff is better
>ls
agreed
>wirebug skills mandatory
care to elaborate?
>if you disable dogs then traversing the map can feel really slow
i agree but it depends, first maps don't have as many great wirebugs so it feels slow

agreed with everything else

>>717236418 (OP)
Rise is really mediocre (probably just a hair better than base world though due to more and better monsters). Sunbreak is probably a top 5 monhun, but still very flawed.

>>717260485
>Forced to use clutch claw... but no openings to use it!
That's not Alatreon's fault. Crutch claw is the biggest problem with all of World.

>>717260993
The less Snoregrex, the better, I say. Sunbreak would have been better if Tigrex didn't have an afflicted version.

>>717260993
we have molten tigrex at home sweetie

>>717236418 (OP)
it was too difficult so I stopped playing

>>717261812
who is that, aris?

>>717236418 (OP)
It's behind of GU, which is actually not a bad thing. Really fun.

>>717236418 (OP)
I can only speak from a MHTri/3U/4U perspective.
I think it's an overly automated take on Monster Hunter, and being made by the Generations team shows, because it's more unfocused to introduce a bunch of gimmicks that are extraneous to the core mode of play. The mount doesn't really affect gameplay positively. It just leans further into Generation-teams' obsession with like "Omg, you can RIDE the monster" and other "epic" moments that aren't dynamic enough.
The way it downplays the item-grind by making you pick it up without stopping makes it feel like it doesn't matter, and when MonHun ends up being just the "fun" and not the micromanagement as much, you end up getting bored way faster because the combat is not THAT deep once you learn each weapon. it's more about counting your own resources, planning a strategy for the next hunt, and then executing it, and it's all done MANUALLY.
When everything becomes a "recommended combo item" and pickups are automated, and they want you to zoom across the map on a velocihorse, you just get a game-appeal that's over way sooner than it was in the more slow-methodical pace of 3U, and 4U didn't really damage that pacing, it just added nice fluidity to jumps and climbing.

I haven't bothered with MonHun after a few hours of World and Rise. Wilds was just confirmation to me that yep, Capcom thought they had the original audience for granted thinking they can streamline it to casuals, but look where that left them. Even if the optimization wasn't shit and the graphics looked slightly less coarse in Wilds, they'd have had a game that people dropped because it does everything for them, and at that point the act of pushing buttons to attack the monsters isn't that sustainable on its own, especially when fights are still pretty long.

Rise is probably better than Wilds but worse than Worlds I believe. But it's still part of the "Nu" monster hunter series that took away the fundamental appeal of the repeated game-loop.

>>717261449
>or even just more deviants from GU but thanks to the anomaly system you aren't going to get bored easily
will they ever bring back deviants? they are too good to be confined to GU

>>717261812
its furufuru

i honestly really wished ahtal ka was in this game
i understand it hasn't even been a generation but it would've been such a kino fight and with the additional vertical movement abilities they could've done so much more with the mech phases
other than that, i agree with everyone else. Rise was pretty bad, released in a bad state and was unfinished to top it off, but every change in sunbreak was insanely good. one of the best MHs for sure. switch skill swap is one of the greatest things they've ever added in an MH game and it's stupid as fuck it isn't in wilds

>>717261449
>>if you disable dogs then traversing the map can feel really slow
play dual cats after the LR and never really missed the dogs, once you get used to the maps theres a bunch of shortcuts.

That was 4's team though

Game was planned around it, it's different by design unlike "new mechanic which is mandatory" being introduced for the expansion

maybe im to focused on the game, i wouldnt be able to tell you the plot of world, rise or wilds.
sounds like you dont have that issue, good for you kiddo

It's good. My criteria from 4 onwards is simple.
>does IG like being in the air?
>if yes, game good
>if no, game shit
Wilds is a disaster.

>>717237168
I just play it with npcs it's just mh tower defense not much to hate

>>717262308
dos village is bullshit in all the best ways

>>717262245
fuck luchika, marry luchika, kill chichae

>>717262270
They barely have plots, there's like 1 event that you spend the whole game trying to figure out but you don't really learn anything until the very end and then its ultimately of no consequence anyway because nothing is ever going to affect the status quo.

>>717261947
oh I forgot to mention, I absolutely love the follower system in sunbreak, I hope itchynose and his team look at it for their next game and bring it back

>>717261576
>care to elaborate?
the iframe move for hammer that lets you keep the charge is pretty much mandatory, same with the parry that replaces the slap
for dual blades again you either use the adept evade or you are just struggling
switchaxe is significantly weaker without the counter
bow also needs the guard point to function on most encounters

>hammer good
i think it's by far the weakest weapon in the game,especially strength hammer
it's one of my most used weps in all games but in this game it feels horrible to play
even if you can get your parries right, you just can't hit back hard enough because of low motion values
also i dislike valor hammer but it is what it is

>>717262798
>>717262798
>switchaxe is significantly weaker without the counter
but still very strong, i think what you mentioned isn't really mandatory but they're the strongest option of what you have available for the skills

>>717262405
i just like to hit things and pull off utility moves

>>717262798
>Switchaxe are much weaker without counter
Counter do a lot of dmg but i completed whole game without them because switch combos with rapid morph do very good dmg and i only used that flying soaring wirebug attack because it looks very cool

>>717261449
>bad
>Hammer
??
>HH
good in a vacuum but its silkbinds suck
>LS
I'm split about Longsword. Shitting out counter and Helmbreaker was fun for a while, too much focus on it though. The sumo ring and SS was ass. I like the other Silkbinds
>investigations can be
don't talk for shitposters.
The issue was that leveling them up takes way too fucking long if you just want to fight more challenging stuff
>if you don't have a dog
bullshit, wirebug lets you still move insanely fast across the map, I bet its still faster than old games, let alone World.

you forgot to mention the Switch version often dropping below 30fps and everyone on PC being a cheating crybaby

Underwhelming

Hammer was just hold R2 the weapon. Didn't matter if you were playing valor or strength because of the dogshit golfswing MVs. Huge blunder, especially when you consider how spinning bludgeon actually felt smooth and useful for the first time ever.
Hated hammer and rise, at least Swaxe was good. Rapid morph made it so much fun. With or without the counter.

CHICHAE SEXOOOOO

should I skip GU and play rise instead

>>717262798
Swaxe counter is literally only used to get immediate amped and to deal damage during roars, it's by far one of the least forced counters in the game

>>717268023
Both good for different reasons.
I personally find it harder to go back to some of the old games for some of the general improvements in the latter, especially to movement and hitboxes. Whichever you get will still be fun.

>>717236418 (OP)
B team better

>>717268023
You should definitely play GU if you haven't yet. Now's a great time with it on sale, too.

>>717262798
>that lets you keep the charge is pretty much mandatory
no it's not. The move that added extra damage to your charge attacks is. It was a band-aid for people complaining that the weapon is only Impact Crater spam.

The problem with Hammer is what started with World.
Golf swing isn't your strongest combo anymore making it close to useless (and it isn't affected by the charge buff making everything else slightly better in comparison).
Power hammer just replaced regular Hammer.
Almost like they just left old playstyles inside so veterans wouldn't complain

>>717268023
GU is the only game in the series you should not skip under any circumstances

>>717236418 (OP)
The worst MH game, along with GU and P3rd.
