Thread 717570209

I fucking LOVE hunting monsters!
There's not a SINGLE entry in the series that isn't AWESOME!
I love CARVING their skin off and WEARING it as armor!
I love turning their CLAWS and FANGS into WEAPONS!
Monster Hunter is the QUINTESSENTIAL gameplay loop!

Personally mon hun died with gens. All its faggotry and awful choices were judt pushed through to world, rise, and wilds and made worse.
I do like Mitsuzune and malfestio.
Uragaan is pretty great, as is gigginox.
Monoblos is quite cool, sad he never returns.
Hunting Horn. Forever. But i use everything but lance.

I haven't tried Wilds, and lord knows I have misgivings about World and Rise, but I still think there's plenty to love about the series. I'm still in disbelief the series has taken off the way it has. It's nice knowing every entry is guaranteed a release in the West now, but the trade-off is I will never use a bug net again.

I'd like to add that, as it stands now, no new MH completely supplants prior entries. I think it's hard to make the case that you're missing out on anything if you pick the series up from MHFU. But starting with Gen 4, you'd miss out on underwater combat. Generations/Rise has the Styles/Wirebugs. And World has some of the best exploration. These are all unique aspects that aren't replicated in subsequent entries.

>toxic positivity
I hate this term. Is Gen Z so doomer-pilled that genuine happiness hurts them?

Wilds is so bad it killed all MH threads on this board unless they are threads made to shit on Wilds.
World sucked too btw and MH is now ruined forever.

how is mh stories on the 3ds?
or am i gonna have a better time on pc?

>>717573180
Rise was unironically a return to form. So I maintain some semblance of hope that the game the other team is cooking will be good.

My boy Trenya, who canonically has met big boss and taken him rathalos hunting

>>717573504
It is though

If you wanna do big flashy parries its longsword. If you just wanna see big damage number its greatsword. If you want the objectively easiest, cheesiest weapon its the HBG

>>717573504
Depends if you have the Claw from Iceborne. If so, I say DBs and Hammer. It's just nonstop sticking to a monster and weakening all its points. Later on, Bowguns can have some pretty busted builds. Rapidfire Elemental LBGs, Shield/Spread HBGs.

>>717573342
>return to form
I felt the same way, although I couldn't articulate it. I think it's because Wirebugs were the best solution to movement creep they've come up with yet. And also cute girls.

>>717573662
I wish they brought back Akantor. It was nice to have a sandbag enemy that even newbies could go full DPS on.

Is this the worst game of all time?

I like the idea of a boss battler game with a lot of challenge and planning involved. I got filtered by World because I was really fucking bored by how easy it was to start and I heard Wilds was even worse. What do I play?

>>717575091
Unfortunately the planning aspect of the games has been almost entirely removed. You'd have to go all the way back to 3U to get a semblance of it back. I haven't played the 3DS ones. They might also have it. Even still, all MHs start off pretty easily. Third and fourth generation low rank still had some meat on their bones IIRC, so you can try there. Unfortunately the increased popularity has also bolstered metafags that rush the endgame grind, and it looks like the main team has been catering to them.

I like wilds. It's a bit too easy but and the auto running seikret sucks but I still kinda like it.

>>717575258
MH4U is a good intersection between classic and modern MonHun.

This is what I've heard. I wasn't a fan of how integral mounting had become to getting good times, but I didn't play past LR.

>>717575368
Meant to reply to >>717575091 but I guess this works.

>>717575435
>This is what I've heard. I wasn't a fan of how integral mounting had become to getting good times, but I didn't play past LR.

Mounting depends, most prefer to do their 140 speedruns on the flat Everwoods maps, but it's certainly not refined and in a multiplayer environment it's also somewhat disruptive. That said, it's like the least useful part of IG to go abusing outside of a token few hunts like Gog. The Caravan component is still relevant to G since you'd want to unlock wystones before tackling Apex monsters, the maps can be rough to play on but the game has a good difficulty curve and it can feel quite rewarding.

I want to get into GU, but I heard it had an ungodly amount of gathering quests. Is there truth to that?

>>717575016
All these listfag nitpicks and no mentioning of the game design being a self-contradictory mess with everything being at odds with one another?

>>717579414
This is a comparison of the high rank version of the game compared to MH4U, a G game at that. Not that many are actually required at all, but they eat into the quest bloat not insignificantly, yes.

>>717579414
it's only a lot if you want to 100% all quests
If you just want to progress through lr-hr-gr, there's like at most 10 mandatory gathering quests that take 5 minutes each

>mfw I enjoy the occasional gathering quest to break up the endless killing
I always spaced them out between hunts so they didn't overwhelm me. I also use the gathering quests to target the small mon parts I need.

What do you think of a MH spin off becoming Capcom main JRPG franchise? Breath of Fire fans must be pissed off.

The best monsters are Gravios and Nibelsnarf

Anon, they cant top minoto, hinoa and fiorayne but wilds is still solid. It's the shit optimization and the shit story staining It, please give It more time.

There's not even fio X malzeno like come on.

Death to all coomers

W*lds fucking sucks dick

Didn't World also debut with serious optimization problems in PC but they fixed it in one month before the reviews set in? It's too late for Wilds, even of they fix it now its reputation is already on the gutter.

>Capcom ports their entire catalogue to PC, even old Marvel vs Capcom shit
>still no oldgen Monhun port
Why? Don't tell me it's because MH is now Live Service and it would "compete" with Milds, when they ported shitloads of SF games in collections while having SF6 in active development.

>>717581779
Itsuno will carry, trust him

>Ichinose is crapcum's last hope at saving the franchise
Grim.

So why is Wilds so shit? Is it just the performance issues? I'm still crown hunting in World so I haven't played it.

>>717581824
They don't want to set up servers for old games.

No, other people are just capable of acknowledging that blindly supporting bad products will only lead to worse and worse products in the future, and eventually they'll get so bad that even you won't be able to enjoy them anymore. At that point you'll either regret what you did and learn your lesson, or ignorantly go on to help destroy other franchises you enjoy in the same way like a gregarious locust, smiling ignorantly as you ruin everything for everybody with your mindless consumption.

So the normies got into MH thanks to world...but now these normies refuse to move on from World. Capcom bet everything on the normies and it worked....but now they betrayed them by becoming like the meleefags.

>>717581824
the good games are still under Nintendo exclusivity contract

>>717581947
Actually, the normies DID move on to Wilds, but then had their World moment.
Poetic, honestly.

>>717581863
Objectively, the big one is performance issues/stability.
Otherwise, subjectively:
>offsets have a large, generous window to activate, can be easily pulled off and breaks the pace of the fight
>wounds happen way too often, shower you with loot, and flinch/topple the monster, easily stunlocking it
>frenzy feels like a rushed afterthought, only Gore and 3 or 4 monster have it and the "boosts" it gives them feels non-existent
>focus mode effectively stops all need to learn positioning, some love it, some hate it
>all this make it so Monster die very fast, Softcom's solution for this so far is bloated Health-pools, on par with G-rank
>lack of grind/friction, you can craft a whole male & female set of armour with just 2 to 4 hunts
>the game's monster AI or visuals aren't groundbreaking to warrant such performance issues
>story is Mild at best

>>717581779
The only explanation I've got is that they fucked up so badly with Wild's development that they're literally unable to untangle their own spaghetti code to fix the performance. It was in their best interest to fix things ASAP, so the fact that they still haven't tells me they probably just straight up can't.

>>717584918
>try to rip off UE5
>fail miserably
Only at crapcum.

>>717584918
It genuinely doesn't make sense to me how fucked Wilds seems to be on the programming side of things when MHR was straight-up rebuilt mid-development to support open maps, used RE Engine, and runs much better on the hardware it was targeting. You'd think someone on the Wilds dev team would have taken notes.

>>717581779
My theory is that they prioritized the weapon balancing first before the performance. World released on the consoles first so they had time to fix the weapons and time to fix the performance after the PC released. It's not the case for Wilds since they're doing both at the same time.
Not sure about this since I only played in PC and I only heard about the changes in the weapons, not seeing them firsthand.

>>717585565
Same as any shooter series, any platform series, any fighting games series, any racing series, any arpgs, any soulslike, etc

>>717585387
The mainline team seem to be completely up their own asses in very respect so they probably didn't feel the need to look at how the portable team did things

>>717586537
None of those LITERALLY use the same fucking enemies in EVERY game. MH is slop.

>>717588391
Just on the top of my head
>any shooter with melee/shooting npcs
>goombas
>fighting games reusing same moves/skeleton with slightly different skins
>Asylum Demon reskins all the way to Elden Ring's Erdtree avatars with no drastic move-set differences
But sure, only monhun has copy-pasted monsters. Now tell me how similar Monhun's Rathalos is similar to Rise's Rathalos.

>>717585565
Meanwhile iback n reality, everybody pitches a fit whenever they DON'T reuse monsters.

>>717590125
This. Highest rated MH on /v/ is Gen which reused the shit out of the monsters, while Wilds which has mostly new ones is the lowest rated.
