Thread 718263196

Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak is currently $15 on steam is it better than MH:Wilds?

>>718263196 (OP)
it's not exactly a high bar but yes it is

/v/ will have you think it's the nadir of the franchise, but it's easily the best of the nu-monhuns.

>>718263196 (OP)
It is quite fun and has a lot of content, so it's worth it.

>>718263305
Other way around, it's massively overrated and the bugs and press x for awesome skills are awful

>>718265206
Is it really amy different from Hunter Arts in Generations?

>>718263196 (OP)
any MH is better than jeetilds

>>718263196 (OP)
It is overwhelmingly superior to wilds, part of it thanks to it being a fully finished game.

>>718265506
The base game was a blatantly unfinished due to the pandemic affecting development. Sunbreak did some major heavy lifting to make up for it

RiseBreak is the most FUN Monster Hunter game, even if not the best.

>>718263196 (OP)
Yes.
>start game
>hey dude welcome to notjapan here's two fucking hot women now get huntan have fun

>>718263196 (OP)
And World unironically

>>718265424
Yes. Hunter Arts and Styles are optional.
You can just play Guild style with no arts equipped and have a true "vanilla" experience.
Meanwhile Rise/Sunbreak are made with wirebugs in mind. The mobility granted by them heavily affects monster behaviors and attacks.

>>718263196 (OP)
It's good until the postgame Anomaly quests where the fun permanently dies forever.

>>718263196 (OP)
Guess its time i finally try this game. 15 bucks is actually a sweet deal. Just hope hammer isn't shit to play in his. I really liked Hammer in World

>>718263196 (OP)
>is it better than MH:Wilds?
Not if you use HH

>>718263196 (OP)
SUNBREAK >>>> ICEBORNE >>> WILDS > WORLD > RISE

>>718269397
Iceborne added the guiding lands for infinite hunts. It's hoonter valhalla.

Sunbreak added... pimples you have to pop on monsters for 200+ quests

>>718269261
Why do they keep murdering my boy?
He did nothing wrong.

>>718263196 (OP)
Yes it's Funbreak

is it worth buying to play on my eck instead of my switch?

>>718270115
It'll probably run better. Modability is also nice to have but I have no idea if it's hassle-free on an 'eck.

>>718270219
but I have a switch 2 now also

>>718269494
You don't have to. They're just a fallback for shitters incapable if smacking weakpoints for the damage threshold.
Just like wystones were a crutch for people who couldn't remember the parts of monsters that didn't bounce.

>>718269142
Best Hammer in the series. It will ruin Hammers for you in any other game.

>>718270842
Best gunlance, too. Blast dash my beloved.

>>718270815
>You don't HAVE to do all 200 levels of anomaly quests
>But we locked a ton of content behind them!
yeah and I don't HAVE to play the game either dipshit

>>718271205
>I don't want to play the game!
We know world bab

>>718271205
You don't have to (pop the pimples). Please work on your context reasoning.

>>718271340
I'm trans btw, not sure if that matters

All MHs are good

>>718271375
I accept your concession. :^)

>>718270115
Depends. Do you have huntan friends on PC? Otherwise just play on whichever form factor and performance you like better

>>718265424
It's better, arts we're just a random supermove you forget you has for 90% of the hunts, and styles were arbitrary moveset limitations so you never can quite do what you want, the silkbind moves made them much more well implemented and later the scrolls update perfected it

>>718271453
Solo grinding Sunbreak isn't awful with followers at least.
t. no friend haver

>>718271453
I'm autistic, I don't like hunting with other people because it feels like cheating

>>718271578
Post room nigga

>>718270916
reverse blast dash is the actual beloved

>>718271641
But the series has always been made with online play/multiplayer in mind

>>718268780
There's only a single instance of mandatory wirebugging for movement in the entire game against Amatsu Phase 2, other than that the only mandatory usage of the bugs in any capacity is wirefall recovery out of specific attacks that knock you down for a follow up hit and can't be normally recovered from (assuming you're at the level where you'll die if you get hit and can't tank it).

>>718263196 (OP)
It's the only good MH game.

>>718271872
I mean, there's ways to just tank that attack if you really wanted to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBCySy4EiMY

>>718272105
Yeah, but anon is talking about the game being designed around their mobility and not specific attacks. Obviously the intention of the tornado is that you die without the bugs, the point I'm making is that their movement options and wirebug skills in general are optional. You can still play charge GS playstyles in Rise/Sunbreak just fine, for example.

>>718271742
i have never played it with another person

>>718272464
are you afraid of carting in front of some or some shit?

>>718269074
That part was decent till you get to about +200 level, where leveling up slows down to a crawl for some reason.

>>718271676
Damn, i don't remember Basarios being that big.

>>718271742
>he hunts in multiplayer
You didn't beat the game

Sunbreak is pretty good all-around, though I actually prefer Mizutsune and Steve's fights in Wilds.
Even at like 200+ anomaly levels Mizu and Steve just feel like punching bags.

>>718265424
Generations is old so it's perfect and can never be bad

>>718275061
This is my first time seeing the actual gif holy shit

>>718275092
wilds mizu and sere basically just loaded the bullshit moves the apex/variants had. Because of course a team can't think of a proper way to make them.

>>718275061
wtf where is britney

>>718263196 (OP)
world is the same price and better

>>718271390
nah wilds is legit bad

>>718276171
I don't really think any of the moves they throw out in Wilds are bullshit.
Steve plays fair with how you need to dodge his moves and is just a high tempo fight, and Mizu's only problem in Sunbreak was that his double head break + anomaly burst makes him spend the whole fight on the ground.

>>718263196 (OP)
rise isn't
but sunbreak is
fuck rampages

>>718269494
>Iceborne added the guiding lands for infinite hunts. It's hoonter valhalla.
Boy I sure love inserting some weird civ sim bullshit into my action game where you need to juggle the levels of the lamest hodgepodge of biomes just to advance in hunting the same shit you've been fighting for 50 hours already. Oh, and the rewards you get from those monsters are going to be 99% trash unless you're specifically playing Fashion Hunter for the layered armor.

>>718266019
>the final bosses at the time had equipment and materials you could farm
Nah rise is superior to wilds

>>718276558
There's only like 2 or 3 mandatory rampages in the whole game

>>718263196 (OP)
Sunbreak yes, but to get there you need to suffer through several 10s of hours of Rise, which is the most dull MonHun experience since the first game on the ps2

>>718271676
this webm is horseshit

>>718278540
why

>>718263196 (OP)
It feels more like animal abuse than hunting desu

>>718275092
Regular Mizu kinda always sucked, but Violet Mizutsune in Sunbreak is extremely fun. I love the move where he summons a bubble moon and then attacks you directly for a bit while it floats over the fight threateningly.

>>718265424
They are different because of what is required to use them. Rise has cooldown based skills, Generations has skills that you have to build meter to use. Because the skills have a 10-20 second cooldown, you’re incentivized to just deploy them without much thought. You can just run around till it’s off cooldown and use it.

>>718263196 (OP)
Hell fucking no lol
Its the worst thing happened to mh and was exclusively made for 10yo babbies
https://youtu.be/N-Q302xdBBE?feature=shared

>>718282605
Because they're on a cooldown you're incentivised to actually use them as a regular extension of the moveset, as opposed to immediately using them when a bar is filled as just periodic big hit or effect. They're not really equivalent mechanics since the wirebugs and switch skills are much more packed into the playstyles in Rise.

>>718282313
He's fun and I do like him, but I was a bit disappointed that he was a fire-based rare species. I would've liked to see a lightning or dragon-based version of Mizu.
I think Sunbreak overdid it a bit on the fire monsters. Magmadron, Pyre-Kadaki (a fire monster getting a fire sub-species), metal Raths into Flaming Espinas into Violet Mizu.
Thunder monsters have always been few and far-between so I like when we get new ones.

>>718282875
Wilds is a result of catering to world babs. How are you liking the story and nature anon? You like them so much now?

>>718283530
I understand the sentiment even though its a bit arbitrary, and it plagued both World and Rise for sure. I think it could only be fire for a Mizu subspecies (or whatever one it is) however, since the fire bubbles imitate the kitsune foxfires.

>>718283650
Wilds sucks only because of rise since all the bad babby casualisation came from rise
If they just copied world but made it 10x bigger then it would be the best game mh game ever made

>>718282875
I died more p malze than nerg and his gayer variant

>>718283885
RiseBreak:
>here's a quest to hunt a monster

Wilds:

>slowly auto-follow Alma
>look hunter, a rock! press A to look at the rock! oh, press A to look at the mountain next!
1. Wow, nature's majesty sure is majestic.
2. I wonder what the mineral composition of this rock is...
3. Can Grug use rock hunt monster?
>hey hunter, let's slow down and disable your slinger for no apparent reason
>oh, look, flat-beaked scrombompulus! they're so beautiful... wow, nature hecking rocks!
>meow, that's pawsitively awesome! :DD

>play monster hunter for 7 minutes
>wow, great work hunter! i'm sure the local brown people will have plenty of thanks for you to mash through.
>skip cutscene
>mash through dialogue
>skip cutscene
>hey hunter, let's go talk to the local population of marketable Ewok-like Lynians, is it okay if Jobber Maximus, voted most likely to be endangered by a random monster in his high school yearbook, comes with us?
>slowly auto-follow Alma

>>718283870
You do make a good point. And since violet is a rare species that means there's still potential for a subspecies of a different element in the future.
I'd be happy to see him again in 6th gen.

>>718263196 (OP)
Cuurently? Yes. Runs like a dream because it's a Switch game that was already optimized, and it's the complete game with all the ranks and monsters, so you have more shit to do
Hunter Arts are more like "Ults" in Hero shooters in a way that they have big resource bars you gotta fil so their use tends to be situational. Silkbinds are like normal specials in a fighting game, they're a fundamental part of your moveset and there's no reason to not use them, some weapons like the Long Sword rely a bit too much on Silkbinds

>>718265206
Diving Wyvern literally opens your mouth and shits straight into it
It actually makes me wish it was Rise that got the FFXIV crossover and not World, that move was builded SPECIFICALLY to replicate how a Jump feels

>>718284209
It's a tragedy Rise didn't get any crossover monster, and I can already see Wilds butchering theirs if it happens

It's the hourly cry about Wilds thread

>>718283885
>calls out babby casualization
>but doesn't list anything
lolmao
nice try worldsperm, casualization began and ends with (YOU)

>>718284125
We should start a petition for an Ice Mizutsune that freezes the area and slides on that ice. Instead of bubbles making you slip around and move slowly, the ice moves you with the momentum kinda like the flowing water in Wilds.

>>718284209
I have a tiny preference (or maybe it's closer to an appreciation) for Iceborne's version of Diving Wyvern (descending thrust) because it carries your horizontal momentum and gave a small height increase that could be used for just barely dodging an attack

>>718284412
That does sound like a pretty good idea. Only problem is that Wilds' ice map needs to be expanded to have some zones closer to other ice locales in the series (or a locale like the Citadel that isn't an ice map, but still includes some ice zones).
If Jin Dahad's map was actually connected to the cliffs that might work too.

>>718284407
This cat is a menace!

Lmao risies are malding

>>718286319
>>718286461
Do not redeem

>>718277221
Anon Rise didn't even have its finally boss on release. Narwa wasn't released until 3.0, two months later.

>>718286870
kung flu was also a thing

>>718286461
>popular slop
>popular slop

>>718286461

Yes.

>>718287198
>>718287212
>Muh popular bad, dead game good
So that makes mh frontier the best game?

>>718287339
unironically, yeah

>>718286870
It did have a final boss. Narwa ended the storyline with you saving the village and it had a complete set of equipment + associated unlocks, you even got the typical celebration cutscene and credits. It was roughly done and obviously not their original intention, but they clearly made an attempt to have something of a conclusion prepared at least and teased Allmother at the end. Then two months later they added an epilogue with a different monster, just like how in World they continued the storyline with each new big monster they added and it culminated in Fatalis.

Wilds is doing a similar thing right now as well. It had a similar situation as Narwa, but it had an unfinished fight that they didn't complete until a later update and zero equipment or materials to farm from it.

>>718287339
Unironically, if they ported any of the older games to PC they'd get shitass for players because the graphics aren't good enough for World/Wildsbabs.

>>718286461
Why are you even playing MH when CoD has 6 gorillion players? Bigger number better right?

Kinobreak

>>718263196 (OP)
It has g rank and costs less than wilds right now. It's a no brainer. Buy it

>>718288573
>running on a toaster

Based

>>718288573
>tfw you get a perfect situation like this for the first time in 3000 hunts

>>718290105
MH art never always translate well ingame. And why do they insist on saddling you with handlers now?

>>718286461
what do niggers here get out of defending this shit? It's an objectively dogshit game that runs like dogshit and any hunter before it is superior

>>718268780
>You can just play Guild style with no arts equipped and have a true "vanilla" experience.
Except even Guild style CB was ruined compared to 4U

>>718290172
In every game you had a character like that but they stayed put before, basically the person handling all the paperwork and requests. Handlers are just the lore justification of your quest giver being given larger overall roles in the story/characterization and also being mobile and going with you. With World and Wilds I think they overextended in ways, but were expecting players to possibly stay in the field much more.

It has a certain...je ne sais quoi

>>718263196 (OP)
Sunbreak end game involves rolling gacha on all armor pieces to make a skill appear with sparkles around its name. Not the armor slots, each individual armor piece you ever make. Playing through the story is enjoyable but at the end of it all you will be asking yourself what the fuck from the endless monotonous chore list the game leaves you with. I feel like all my hours were for nothing while at the same time wanting the next portable game to drop so I can play unfucked Sunbreak 1.0 again before they ruin the next one too.

>>718292017
>Sunbreak end game involves rolling gacha
It involves doing whatever you want. You can either hunt normally without ever touching anomaly content, or try to craft a unique set with the rolls you get. You don't have to grind a specific monster or tier for the best drops, you just hunt monsters.

>>718290623
back in the oldgames you got the quest from the head chief or a guild clerk, not some useless babysitter who nags at you all the time. Part of the reason I really like rise was quest givers weren't overbearing and I feel an independent hunter again

>8 stars Lagi and Seregios powercrept Rathalos when they should be at the same tier
>Now 9 stars monsters powercrept Zoh Shia
I hate this stupid MMO update bullshit. Save the retardation for collab quests

>>718263196 (OP)
Absolutely

>>718292017
>rolling gacha on all armor pieces to make a skill appear with sparkles around its name
The sparkles don't mean anything, because of how the point system works
You just roll until you see a skill you like and stop :)

>>718292919
Rathalos is a shitmon and the only reason why he takes any time to kill is because he flies around like a faggot.

>>718293026
His movesets have been all right since Rise

I really want to buy it again for pc but I dont want to have to go through low/high rank again.
I wish I could just skip to the sunbreak content, it was so kino.

>>718293565
Rush the key quests

Replaying 4U has been a magical experience, even fighting gravios is fun.

>>718293565
Find a carry who can obliterate base content quests within 3 or even sometimes 2 minutes. The only problem will be the few Rampage quests.

>>718293694
Does Pretendo work for it? Berserk Tetsu thoroughly kicked my ass

>>718293565
If you really want to make it easy, just download a mod to make one of the weapons deal 999,999 damage and spam key quests.

>>718291096
This dude's skill is amazing.

>>718293863
I intend to solo the game, so I haven't really tried any online stuff.

>>718293565
just use defender and rush village to get the promotions quests to skip LR. After that HR is smooth sailing since lobbies are always full of helpers

>>718294004
A dedication to the most absurd craft

>>718292017
The sparkles mean "all possible points were spent" and 99% of the time its something you should try to avoid because it normally takes your best skills in exchange of 3 shitty ones + some resistance rearrangement.
You are better off with some "mid roll" that doesnt get the highest possible amount of points to allocate but they are high enough to afford good skills or slots.

>>718293565
Use Defender, get to HR10 to kill Narwa and just jump into Sunbreak

>>718293694
Going back through old gen as a gunner is hell. Particularly 4U fuck how cranked up G rank monsters damage are.

I'm playing mh3u right now, near the end of low rank village.
I'm maining sns and its good but feels like ass in the water. What's a good secondary weapon I can switch to thats good for water hunts?

>>718271676
What is this animeshit
Not my monhun

>>718296123
Lance is great for underwater combat.

>>718296162
Monhun is a blue stripe panties franchise, always has been newfag.

>>718296240
No such thing in World
Only trannies who use anime mods

>>718263196 (OP)
I don't like rise but I can still admit that it's better than wilds.

>>718296379
>No such thing in World
Which is why it's not an official monster hunter title.

>>718263196 (OP)
Best "modern" MonHun game by a fucking mile, World wasn't that bad, but Wilds is an abomination, Portable Team are the only ones who are capable of saving this franchise.

>>718263257
Is it better than worlds though

>>718293565
It literally take less than 5 hrs to finish base hub
2-3hrs if you speedrun

>>718296123
Lance is best underwater but i use gunlance since its more fun on both land and water
Longsword is also good for both

>>718263196 (OP)
Right now? yes.
Maybe Wilds will get better after one or two years, but until that day comes I will play Rise or World.

Out of all monster hunter i think sunbreak and gu are the one i enjoyed playing the most and 3u for lr to g rank journey
Quio endgame is actually really fun and good thing those risen are locked behind hr100+ unlike world that throw all its end game tier monster so early and no, ruiner and AT are just same monster with more hp and dmg

>>718290105
There's something so american about the designs, but I can't put my finger on what it is.

>>718284209
>take existing move
>set it on a timer and make it worse
>this is good

Honestly, Rise and Sunbreak are good so long as you get past the mandatory Rampage sections. That stuff is pure fucking cancer and Capcom must have been huffing paint to think anyone would want to play that shit.

>>718297052
No. World is shit but Rise is even worse.

>>718299764
Oh no, they force you to spend 10-15 minutes twice (2 times) out of hundreds of hours of content. It's so horrible.

>>718299592
>Maybe Wilds will get better after one or two years
If Wilds isn't massively overhauled by the promised January performance update, it's a write off.

>>718299821
And then again for every single Apex monster if you want to hunt them in normal quests. I'm not saying it ruins the game but it's still fucking shit.

>>718299821
Imagine if they bring back hour long egg and gathering quest

>>718263196 (OP)
It's pretty alright.
I don't mind the bug arts. My big gripe with it though is the speed of G-rank monsters.
Usually they get a bit faster and hit harder, but this game just turbo charges their movement speeds and just kinda sucks to fight. GS gets shoehorned into this counter stance art playstyle that just didn't mesh with me. The dual blade arts were pretty meh if you weren't perfect dodging everything.
idk... it's a game that at least runs well even on older hardware. It could be better.

>>718299886
>quests where you actually engage with the map and monsters
Yes, please bring them back.

>>718299886
Kids these days will never know what it was like having to carry all those eggs to join the egg mafia just for the chance to take on a Fatalis...

>>718263196 (OP)
Sunbreak is the best MH game from the previous 3. Rise can be kind of meh but since you don't have to go through Rise's endgame it's fine.

>>718299886
I like egg quests, they're actually fun.

>>718299886
I have never had an issue with the eggs. Every single time I've done one I just walked straight to the nest and waddled like I needed to go to the bathroom back to camp without any encounters at all, I never understood why people thought they were hard or tedious.

Are these games fun solo? I dont have any friends to go hunting with.
And is Rise a good starting point?

>>718300403
Depends on the game but usually yes. Rise and World are good starting points for modern MonHun.

>>718300403
I think MH games are the most fun solo. Multiplayer hunts can feel like you're whacking a target dummy because the monster isn't currently trying to attack you, so there isn't any back and forth going on.

Rise is very accessible so it's a fine starting point, the expansion is much better than the base game.

>>718300748
Multi definitely changes the dynamic of some weapons.
>Solo SAED CB: have to read monsters like a book to not get punished while spending a decade unfolding your axe
>Multi SAED CB: haha SAES goes brrrrrrr

>>718300403
Yeah, solo is even better. Just make sure to do the village quests first to learn the basics and ramp up the difficulty naturally.

>>718300748
Unless your friends and you are literal speedrunner tier, it was a lot more rare for it to feel that way in games prior to Generations and 4 in multiplayer hunts. Now monsters topple over from getting hit a few times or instantly afflicted with status.

>>718263196 (OP)
No. It's hands down the worst entry in the series. Absolute dogshit. I would go as far as not to consider it a Monster Hunter game at all.

>>718301294
Here's your (You).

>>718301294
Finally a sane person with functional brain

tfw can't even be arsed to do any of the new content in wilds
what went wrong

>>718299886
>Yeah imagine if they bring back the soul, who cares lol
Kill yourself, MonHun isn't MonHun without the gathering/egg quests, silly quest descriptions and non-existent story, fuck off with that shit to another franchise.

>>718284407
And it won't end until the next game comes out, just like world
>>718286461
>steamchartposting bad when it shows that rise is shit
why are tendies like this?
also kill yourself for posting steamcharts

>>718299886
Egg quests were million times better than Wilds forced story and cutscenes shit

What is this body language?

>>718263196 (OP)
>is it better than MH:Wilds?
A pile of shit is better than Wilds

>>718271676
I'm starting a Risebreak playthrough with my friend once we kill Fatalis in MHWI and I wonder what weapon I should choose. I like LGB but it turns out boring in the end, only shooting and no combos.

>>718263196 (OP)
Never played Wilds, but I didn't like Rise.

>>718302718
Monhun is no longer a children game that's why worldwilds sold so much copies

>>718263196 (OP)
I didn't like either for different reasons.

>>718263196 (OP)
Sorry but if you played world first then every other mh will feel bland, boring and sovlless

>>718304772
Play gunlance. It has tons of options for any hunt.
>general purpose reverse blast and redirection to be untouchable with hail cutter for juicy hits comes out quick when used in the air
>wide guard reload for comfy hunts against spammy stuff
>bullet barrage for brain off facetank spam

my friend is gonna play it and i dont want to play the same weapon, i like GS but i always play GS, maybe Switch Axe this time

When the fuck are they going to port oldgen monhun collections to pc? Are they afraid it would make them too much money?

World is the shittiest I've played, Wilds a close second

>>718305904
Switchaxe is peak in sunbreak, it actually reward switch style more instead of spamming just sword mode and finishing a monster with flying soaring wyvern attack is really satisfying

They won't do it because why spend money porting older gen when they can make 10x more money from dlcs

>>718305960
Getting multiplayer to work is too hard. :^(
Just ignore the fact they tried their hardest to make Wild's multiplayer as complex and convoluted as possible.

>>718305960
it's a mystery

>>718306489
Wilds multiplayer is fine as long as you’re not fighting the game and trying to reject that low rank is a tutorial meant to be played solo

>>718306489
are you actually retarded? wilds is the easiest it has been to find a room or sos quest that you want to play

Wilds is TRASH

>>718305960
It would compete with their newest title.

If you aren't shit you know how to time it and get it reliably.

They literally launched MHGU right before Iceborne came out. I could totally see them doing the same between Wilds TU5 and the G rank expansions.

>>718307068
On the switch. MHW was PS4, XBOX only for a long while.

Gunlance looks kino, I should learn this weapon...

>>718307162
It's not like an MHFU or 4U remaster is going to make people not want Wilds. It's pretty retarded if they don't do it eventually because there isn't even any official way to play any game before GU online anymore.

>low rank is a tutorial meant to be played solo
If only we could have a solo-only Low Rank story mode to function as a tutorial, while also having a separate set of quests you can do with other people at any time that takes you into High Rank...

Village feels like a waste of time in Rise and it's massively undertuned compared to low-rank hub.
I think they should just let people make mistakes and struggle even in online hunts because at least you can prop up the online component of the game straight up, and with the way they handled multiplayer cutscenes then there's no issue telling a story straight from the hub.

>>718308581
>Flashbacks of players in 4U refusing to do village and ending up in GQ without wystones

>>718309935
That's just shit design. I progressed with my friend through hub for 100+ hrs and then we hit a roadblock in late g-rank with faggot apex monsters.
Basically the game telling you "oh yeah go waste 10hrs speedrunning all the village content to get this item to interact with this mechanic.

Its the best game in the franchise.

They want you to play the most recent MH, they are gonna set up servers for old games. Think of it in this way: asking Capcom to remaster old mainline games is like asking Nintendo to remaster Melee.
