Holy fuck dude, I hope whoever suggested Gravios (And Basarios in Rise) be brought back loses their job. I don't like Gypceros but Nerscylla at least has a predator/prey dynamic with him so I'm okay with it.
Cool, thanks for the clarifications. And as per the elemental discharge? Seems a bit like a trap due to how long it takes to actually do. Also, going into more details on the Arts themselves, what should I be aiming for? Power Boost seems to be a nice solid pick, but haven't really experimented with others outside of the default spergout combo which sucked.
Trance slash is by far the weakest saxe art, just because it takes so damn long, but is hilarious to use for style points in a triple art style because both demon riot and tempest axe buff its already high damage.
That's how I've always done it too. Feels like it makes the most sense personally.
With the exception of Ajar, I agree. I'd even say they're close to instantly classic because they could slot in to a lot of the other games and fit right in. Ajar is the one who gives me Souls/Black Myth vibes design wise. His fight is fuckin fun though.
I never played Rise, not fond of the gameplay I saw, but when it was nearing release and I saw they added BASARIOS in the game it was kinda the last straw lol. It is without question one of the least interesting, most obsolete, forgettable, retarded monsters in the whole series.
You are now remembering ruby basarios exists.
I don't mind Gravios, he's just not very rememberable to me. I really like his hammer though. Basarios can eat a dick and RUBY Basarios is cancer. Since Gravios seems to be hated so much, I shall remind you when Gravios got its shit rocked.
I love the first 8 hours of a MH game. Monsters are creative and natural looking, fit their environment. You kill one 3 times and make a water element hammer cause why not lmao.
Yeah, there's a lot of really cool stuff that often feels wasted on a monster you'll fight a grand total of twice before moving on to rathalos, tigrex, gore, seregios, nargacuga, zinogre, etc for the 20th time because they die to a stiff breeze if you upgrade your gear even once. That's actually one thing I really enjoy about sunbreak, despite how grindy the endgame can get, anomaly investigations do a better job of helping low tier monsters stay at least somewhat relevant as fights later in the game than any other similar mechanic (frenzy, hyper, tempered, etc). Blood Orange Bishaten is a really cool fight, same with other low tiers like garangolm and tetranadon. Sure, it's a bit of a grind, but if I want to engage with their mechanics while still having somewhat of a challenge, I can rank up an investigation for them. Now compare to iceborne. Coral Pukei is one of the best subspecies in series history, but it's an absolute joke of a fight in terms of difficulty, and even the tempered is just a whole lot of nothing.
Honestly I thought they put in Gypceros back because they needed at least one monster that can flashbang hunters and Tzitzi is just too new to make a return. (Flashbang chad beloved pls put him in back he's funny in Worlds.)
I hate almost all the oil biome monsters I won't lie. Ajarakan is annoying to fight, ditto Gravios and fuck the oil squid with a rusty ice pike.
First, while the 3 minute pre-rendered cutscene might be skippable, the far more egregious 7 minute walk n talk exposition corridor is not. Second, I'd say it's a mix of both. Not only does wilds have the worst story in a series that couldn't be further from being known for its writing, there is exponentially more emphasis placed upon it, to the detriment of every other facet of the game, and it's also told in an infuriating and downright insulting way, emulating what hack writers who couldn't even get a netflix contract back when netflix gave them out like candy on Halloween and are forced to take a job writing for playstation games and hate every minute of it and are embarrassed to be working in games and attempt to make them more like movies as retaliation do.
I'm not playing so can't judge too well, but just for the skeleton variety it gets a big thumbs up from me compared to base World. When I eventually get to it, I'm specially curious about the octopus monsters.
From my understanding there are walk and talk segments and those are unskippable.
I hope nobody older than 16 gives a shit, but then you read retarded articles talking about how the story was totally a motivator for players and cold sweat starts running.
Sadly as shown in this thread, the KCD2 thread, and probably several more threads, this not only isn't changing anytime soon, it's getting worse. And that's just a few "people" on here, the rest of the internet is far worse. Only way this has even the slightest chance of getting better is if the gaming industry crashes. The mentality of "who cares if it's fun (for me)" is damn near singlehandedly keeping these people afloat.
He reminds me alot of the odd scenarios, where your weapon and hunting skills you've been building are just left on the curb, please learn how to fire ballista to hook an extremely fast sandworm on a skiff or protect this castle from a 5 story crab that's just all leg. Rise's rampages were a slight improvement on those, but I'm glad they're sidelined into what feels like a warcraft raid, but easier. The music and effects are pretty cool aesthetically.
Windward Plains: Surround village in crystal windchimes that sound like Rey Dau, warding off monsters
The story is complete shit. Which is fine, because the story in monster hunter isn’t supposed to be good. It’s a gameplay first game. Problem is they shove the story in your face in wilds like I’m supposed to care about any of these characters.
