Monster Hunter

[icy stump]

Heh

Coronel

I'm tryna stealth around

But I'm dummy thick

[rare knot]

It has to be triple a bro. Don't question it bro. It's cinematic bro. You can't get new fans with classic monster hunter mechanics bro.

[icy stump]

And the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting the monsters!

Dawg I hope the next portable team game does really good on launch

[rare knot]

I really hate how the village/hub system doesn't exist in mainline anymore. It's so braindead simple but for some reason mainline team has an obsession with seamlessness

[icy stump]

I want portable team to show up mainline so hard and for it to be reflected in sales day 1

[rare knot]

Maybe if they don't release it as a switch exclusive, unfortunately

[icy stump]

I'm really hoping

[rare knot]

I hope it still comes to switch tho. MH feels best on portable devices imo, even semi portable

[icy stump]

Omni platform release

With crossplay

[rare knot]

Not even cuz of controls, I'm just so used to MH games on portable lol

[icy stump]

If it can run on switch 2

Itll run on everything

The poor optimization won't be a issue

The crossplay would be great

[rare knot]

Except on switch

[icy stump]

Even then

[rare knot]

And series s

[icy stump]

Portable team took rise in stride id say

[rare knot]

Idk tho portable team worked some magic with rise on switch. It doesn't run amazingly, but it can handle a lot before chugging. And even then it doesn't drop massive frames for that long

[icy stump]

Only load issues come from my SD card sucking I think

[rare knot]

And it looks pretty great

[icy stump]

This feels distinctly MH

Taking a little and making alot of it

[rare knot]

Like Big explosions will tank the frame rate hard for 2 seconds and then it's back to 30

[icy stump]

Not the other way around

[rare knot]

Yeah

MH doesn't feel like it would work at a triple a level without massive changes like mainline is doing

[icy stump]

I'm amazed how well switch rise handles amatsu

[rare knot]

And imo, those changes to make it feel triple a kinda suck

[icy stump]

Honestly it doesn't need to be AAA

Fucken

Just make it run good

[rare knot]

I want old mh back so much

[icy stump]

It shouldn't look good cause you put 4billion polygons in a model, it should look good from using what polygons and textures you have well

[rare knot]

Wilds doesn't even fuckin look good

(imo)

Like on a technical level yeah it's amazing. But I really hate the realistic angle they are taking

I had the same issue with world

[icy stump]

Honestly agree

[rare knot]

And the colors always look ass

[icy stump]

The realism is weird

I feel like rise nailed how MH should look

[rare knot]

Maybe it's only that one area, but the wayward planes in the beta look so bland

[icy stump]

Anime Esque

But also not like totally cell shaded like stories

[rare knot]

I still hold 4U's look and vibe as my absolute favorite

[icy stump]

But even then stories looks good

[rare knot]

The low poly semi-stylized look with lots of saturated colors

[icy stump]

Honestly I think GU peaked that

[rare knot]

Idc if it looks dated or whatever I would kill to have that look back for modern MH in some way

[icy stump]

With deviants and all the monsters

[rare knot]

Gu looks about the same yeah, 4U just did it first kinda

[icy stump]

Honestly, just making everything more angular would go a long way

[rare knot]

Arguably 3U but 4U leaned into it hard. And GU just kept it

[icy stump]

Which was why I hate IB zinogres redesign

They took away a lot of sharp edges

And it's bleh

[rare knot]

Yeah I think that's not a bad idea

A semi-realistic but also semi-anime look with real sharp slightly angular models and art

[icy stump]

...so rise

But more angular

[rare knot]

Or hell id take literally any stylization or character over World and Wilds boring triple A realism with generic menus and UI

[icy stump]

See here's the funny thing

[rare knot]

The colors in rise are a bit too soft for my taste

[icy stump]

The whole realism schitck is inherently dated

[icy stump]

Ok more saturated then

[rare knot]

Yeah exactly

[icy stump]

Cause like

Wilds looks great, but now world looks eh

[rare knot]

Like 4U and GU lean heavy on the saturated colors with real deep black shading

[icy stump]

It's classic MVC3 vs MVCI

MVCI has better tech behind it on paper

But It looks ass

[rare knot]

Or Windwaker vs Twilight Princess

[icy stump]

MVC3 has way less tech

Still looks great to this day

[rare knot]

I entirely agree, though its basically fact

[icy stump]

Yeah monsters really pop out of the environment

It's great

In world fuckers just blend into the background

[rare knot]

Aside from the low poly count and the use of 2D sprites for environmental details, I think 4th Gen holds up super well

[icy stump]

IDC if it's "lore accurate" it's annoying

[rare knot]

God yeah. And wilds is even worse to my eyes

That's not even really a realism thing, I feel like you could have your realistic look but still design monsters so they pop nore

[icy stump]

Normalize dogging on portable team honestly

[icy stump]

Literally just more saturated colors

Higher contrast

Etc

[rare knot]

Yesh

Yeah*

Sorry I may have had a drink or three, ignore the typos

[icy stump]

Same

[rare knot]

Pouring one out for classic mh

[icy stump]

I drank trying to get wilds to work

[rare knot]

If switch servers shut down I'm immediately getting a PC to play GU and 4U online emulated

Though it would really hurt to see the last classic MH go offline officially

And 3U. I need to play 3U again, it's such a banger

Underwater combat be damned

[rare knot]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[heady goblet]

Just beat the story

Not gonna lie

It was pretty good

[toxic brook]

Same here

Must admit that the departament of thugging it out™️ never seems to disapoint when it comes to hunter-monster relations

[icy stump]

Ok so

Good news

Game seemingly runs better with compatibility mode off, and I can get past the load screen

Unfortunately

IT CRASHES ON INITIALIZING NETWORK

I'm losing it

Fucken like 11 hours

To get this shit running

And it's still

BREAKING

[frail crescent]

How’s the game!

To those… who can play it

[frail crescent]

Have you tried verifying game files if ur on PC?

[icy stump]

I haven't after I did the thing to dump the flickering rocks

I just

Hate how this shit is so poorly designed

This shit should just fucking work

But it doesnt

After this verification if I try again and it doesn't work I'm calling it for the night

Tomorrow I will try on my laptop first (cause that has a Nvidia card, and apparently most issues are with AMD whop de fucking do)

Then after that (because I wanna play on TV)

I am gonna finagle my way out to get it to work

I'm so close

I can taste it

I.

Need.

It.

[frail crescent]

im yet to buy it honestly

[icy stump]

Time to see if the verification fixed it

....now it crashes on the RE engine screen

[rare knot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/s/cEeAVD8YJA

[acoustic walrus]

https://vxreddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/s/cEeAVD8YJA

[icy stump]

....AND NOW IT INSTANTLY CRASHES AGAIN

GODDAMN IT

Ok, note to self

Never verify

[frail crescent]

Honestly, this exact thing is why im waiting

[icy stump]

Not even once

[rare knot]

Same, and money

If it was peak I'd drop the 70 bucks, but even the positives im hearing sound bad sometimes

So I'm not gonna blow money on it rn

[frail crescent]

If the pacing isnt that great compared to rise then i just would rather play rise

[rare knot]

MH games go on sale a ton anyways, so I can probably get it for cheap like 3 months down the line

[rare knot]

I'm hearing nearly every story quest starts with an on rails walk and talk segment

And I'm seeing a lot of people online doing their best to defend how easy the hunts are, which isn't filling me with confidence

Rise is already piss easy but wilds is allegedly even easier

[frail crescent]

I just wanna kill big monster. Hop in, gather and prep, drop on it, kill it, and hop out

Rise may be easy but its a fuckin blast to play

[rare knot]

It gets boring for me early game tbh. But base game endgame and sunbreak hits the difficulty I'm looking for more or less

But the movement is what keeps me. I love the verticality with the wirebug

[frail crescent]

I agree. And yes. Wirebug is the best thing ever

Movement is so natural and stuff. And I love Palamutes

[rare knot]

I think the one huge thing that bugs me about palamutes is that you have to choose between it and your palico when playing online

[frail crescent]

If wilds just isnt as just as or more flat out fun to go around in, then I just dont have as much interest.

[rare knot]

Like do I want an actually good companion or do I want my car

[frail crescent]

I usually just take the car loll.

[rare knot]

Same

But I wanna take my buddy cheeseburger with me sometimes too

[frail crescent]

If I really want materials I can do some offline hunts for a bit

[rare knot]

Sometimes I drop my palamute and take my palico for the more compact maps

[rare knot]

Sekreit controls weirdly imo. I hate that this automated

[icy stump]

Aaaaaaand I think I'm going to bed tonight, still no playable wilds

[frail crescent]

I hear you can un-automate it

[rare knot]

I'd much rather have full control with an auto run button, rather than the other way around

[icy stump]

You can shut

[rare knot]

It's automated by default

[icy stump]

Shuddup da birb

Brid is da werds

[frail crescent]

yeah, but theres an option i saw someone talk about in settings. Doesnt mean I disagree. But yeah

Just saying there is something there at least

[icy stump]

I WILL BE BACK WILDS TO KIKC YOUR ASS

[frail crescent]

I honestly expected the sekreit to be bird flavored palamute

[rare knot]

You can press one of the triggers or something to take manual control. But it will always default to automated when you mount or even just open a menu while riding

But there's also areas of the map that sekreit navigates automatically no matter what iirc

It's dumb imo

[icy stump]

It basically is if you finagle it hard enough in the settings

[frail crescent]

I just want chocobo that plays like a palamute. The game almost feels like its gone too "triple-a"

[rare knot]

It has

[frail crescent]

Honestly, if Rise had its graphics i feel that wilds wouldnt need to really be a thing.

[rare knot]

World was too triple a lmao. Wilds seems like it leans further into that

[rare knot]

I think Rise's biggest disadvantage was being switch exclusive for a while

[frail crescent]

yeah...

thatll kill a game

[rare knot]

Gave off the impression that it's some spin off rather than a new full MH game to newcomers

[frail crescent]

I honestly had that impression initally too

[rare knot]

I forgot it released and picked it up randomly like a year after lmao so I probably felt similarly

Tho world upset me so much it pushed me away from MH for a while as well

[frail crescent]

It was kinda to me like "ohhh, this is like a little side monster hunter. Kinda to be the handheld spinoff while world is still the main"

[rare knot]

Yeah exactly

And that's technically the case, but it's still a whole ass MH game

[icy stump]

Oh boy third shader redo

Let's go

Another half a fucking hour of my life

[frail crescent]

Yeah. If it had the graphical fidelity of world, and wasnt on switch, It would be treated more like one. At least, thats how I feel about it

[rare knot]

I'm glad it was on switch tho

That's still how I play it

[frail crescent]

Oh same

[rare knot]

I hope the next portable team game comes to switch 2

Even if it's not exclusive

[frail crescent]

absolutely agree. I just mean that the game with better graphics wouldnt run on it.

[icy stump]

I think the mainline team should get some sense smacked into em, they're tripping with how they managed to fuck up a release like this

[frail crescent]

I hope they keep bringing back Mizutsune

[icy stump]

Graphics is a fucking stupid thing to bend over back for in a game

[frail crescent]

agreed

[icy stump]

Idc if the game looks great, if it don't run good it's not a good fucking video game

[rare knot]

I just think MH shouldn't be triple a. The mh formula kinda flies in the face of modern triple a video game conventions, always has. World felt like they were trying to shove that into a mold it wouldn't fit into for me

[frail crescent]

art style always trumps graphical fidelity

[rare knot]

I don't think it's any coincidence that a lot of the people I talk to who consider world their favorite started with world

[icy stump]

We literally had this discussion like 5...minutes ago?

Idk me tryna finagle this game I've lost my sense of time

It's wack yo

[frail crescent]

Look at games like elden ring. A gorgeous game but obviously not as graphically impressive as most triple a games. But it remains considered this gorgeous beacause of amazing art direction

[rare knot]

Not that classic players cant enjoy the new games, but I can't imagine many of them prefer it

[rare knot]

I don't like ER but it does look absolutely fantastic

[icy stump]

So fucking real

World Dick riders will say it's the best one, after playing fuck and all else

[rare knot]

Even playing it on base PS4 i was blown away

[icy stump]

World has so much dogshit design to it

[rare knot]

Literally Dark Souls 2 fans

[frail crescent]

souls as a whole is just good art direction. And it proves that bending over backwards to animate and texture every fucking pore on a body is so unneccesary to make something incredible.

[rare knot]

And the moment world players get a new game that's slightly closer to classic than world, they think it's trash (rise)

Not all world players, but it's a common sentiment

[frail crescent]

The "triple-aification" of MH is kinda an example of the issues with going so far to make games just look as graphically impressive as possible.

[icy stump]

Almost no unique weapons
Oops all wyvern roster basically
Endgames that reeek of MMO ass mechanics instead of actually making interesting fights
And not even bothering to actually balance their MR expansion, just sextuple HP essentially between HP bloat and HZ nerf and force players to use a dogshit mechanic that's sucks to even try and get fast times

[rare knot]

It's not even just graphics or visual style. I hate all the streamlined mechanics. Even in rise, but world and wilds are worse with them

Like world introduced so many new mechanics to try and simplify the already simple mechanics in older games and just made them annoying to me

[icy stump]

I really wanna like wilds, but holy shit it's fighting back harder than any Mainline team monster has since lvl 140 apex jang in 4U

[rare knot]

Like how tracking monsters is a whole new system when paintballs and psychoserum worked perfectly fine

[frail crescent]

never making the player struggle is such an annoying trend for games. Companies are so scared of making a game challenging and pushing away players that they give them no control over mechanics or characters and no difficulty.

There's no "fairly difficult" games anymore. its either piss easy or souls difficulty.

Only ones I can think of are turn based rpgs

[icy stump]

Capcom decided to take a stand against this sentiment in wilds it seems

They made it difficult to get it running even

[rare knot]

Turn based RPGs can get away with it cuz the casual player doesn't play them most the fime

[frail crescent]

Pfffft

[rare knot]

Unless ur persona, then you gotta be piss easy and dumbed down too

[icy stump]

Id argue Risebreak hits the difficulty curve perfectly

[frail crescent]

yeah

[icy stump]

Mainly in SB

Cause the game was designed around the players strengths

[frail crescent]

Base game not really but SB I agree

[icy stump]

And how to counter that

Holy shit

[rare knot]

But games like SMT are considered "hard" almost entirely because they make you pay attention and make use of every mechanic at your disposal

[icy stump]

It's almost like SB had good game design?!?

Wow!

UNREAL

[rare knot]

Like smtv is considered hard, but it's not hard at all if you just play the game and don't mash attack over and over

[frail crescent]

Actually, I love metaphor so much cuz of this. Its got the persona dual game aspect that I love, with challenging combat especially on hardmode that forces you to take advantage of every mechanic avalible to really have the chance to win

[rare knot]

I love games with a lot of mechanics you have to learn and make proper use of to win and progress, which is why I like classic monster hunter so much. To see that being chipped away from a lot of series I love is sad

[rare knot]

I've heard metaphor is really good, I need to play it lol

[frail crescent]

you should. its criminally underplayed

[rare knot]

People keep calling it secret SMT 6 and that's got me excited

I played the demo so I got a taste, and it's soooo nice to have press turn in a non mainline smt game

[frail crescent]

Its SMT6 combined with Persona characters minus the annoying side ones.

[rare knot]

If it had one more like persona I'd probably have lost interest

Also Louis

https://tenor.com/view/louis-guiabern-gif-4595959380306421942

[frail crescent]

Louis. God hes so good.

Whole game. Genuinely peak.

[rare knot]

Knight has been telling me about it a bit, and I def need to play it

Expensive tho

Game need big money. I have small money.

[frail crescent]

Better pacing than Persona 5. Thematically its not as good as a persona tho. but thats alright. not every story needs some massive deeper meaning. Some can just tell a damn fun story.

[rare knot]

Idk persona isn't very deep

Not that I've seen

[frail crescent]

Well, the themes are impactful is more what I mean.

[rare knot]

It's got themes but they are just typical coming of age stories

[icy stump]

Chat I need fresia Esque songs for waiting for these shaders to load, I need ideas

[frail crescent]

The kinda game that can change ur life for a lot of people

[icy stump]

I got GG freesia and Uru freesia

[rare knot]

PoPiPo

Metaphor seems like it's hitting heavier themes to me tbh. It's a bit heavy handed in the demo, but it's something that definitely hits me more

Way more than whatever p5 was going for, anyways

[desert geyser]

ngl, pretty disappointed with wilds. Most of the time I was thinking "huh, playing gu or sunbreak sounds pretty fun right about now"

And it has world's pacing which sucks

[icy stump]

Damn it

And all I got past was catcha cabra

4 hours in game

At least 3:30 purely for troubleshooting

And there gonna be more

[heady goblet]

It's really good honestly

I wish there were more dog like monsters ngl

[knotty ledge]

The story mode sucks

But the games fun

[green plank]

the link party environment link stuff is so annoying

i assume its for the sake of the huge ass lobbies

so you can have parties in the lobbies but

im never gonna step foot in one of those public lobbies im just here to play with friends man

nevertheless, game peak

[floral flume]

games gud overall imo

[toxic brook]

unbothered, energized, in my element, focused.

Alright

Back to troubleshooting

[icy stump]

Gonna try this now
https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-2-1.html

If this doesn't work I'm going to the laptop to try that and if that doesn't work I'm refunding the game

Or at least gonna try to cause I've spent 4+ hours in game putzing around with it

Fucken dogshit ass optimization

[icy stump]

This didn't work for some reason

Like it won't download

[icy stump]

IT WORKS

....on my laptop

I need to reduce background usage of shit but otherwise I'm great

[eternal gale]

Is that the laptop you used for engineering homework?

[icy stump]

Yes

Pog

.....aaaaaaaaaand it crashed on opening the smithy

No matter

I just gotta find a way to get all the background applications to shuddup to get it running good

[icy stump]

How do I kill all the unessesary processes in one go and keep em ded

Please if I can just optimize my Laptops usage I can get it to actually fucking run

[sharp cedar]

spoiler a bit ||xu wu reminds me of vaal hazak ||

its so cool

[icy stump]

Damn this game is piss easy

Fun

But very easy

Thought the mandated cutscenes are dumb

Ive spent like maybe 15 minutes in fights

The rest is all cutscenes

[sharp cedar]

they let you skip them now atleast

[icy stump]

Honestly I'm more annoyed with the walk along sections

I will say I like the lil wud wudd

I can't stress it enough tho

I've played in game for a hour and a half

20 minutes was the amount of time I was actually fighting stuff

And that's not considering the battle I've had against tryna get it to run on my other computer

I just fought a funny guy tho

The funny monké

[hushed kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/congalala-monster-hunter-gif-13878633331717977427

[knotty ledge]

Genuinely the worst part of the game

Not actually the worst but why are the walking sections so frequent

[icy stump]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[icy stump]

Anyone know how to shut off radial menu?

Oh damn lol

I haven't played yet, but I'm super happy to see ||nercylla|| back

[icy stump]

Ok Rey dau is way cooler when I can actually see what he do

Kinda sucks the game lags hard in sandstorms

[frail crescent]

Life is good, I hear they brought back Mizutsune

[icy stump]

Going to bring back

Fought ||nerscylla|| again

Fights as good as it was prior

[hushed kelp]

Title Update 1 is when he's back

[rare knot]

Malzeno is a wacky fella

He's immune to hunting horn bullshit (spamming the ground slam)

[icy stump]

Hirambi is a interesting fight

I managed to do it without using a large poo bomb

[green plank]

ok i beat the game :3

[icy stump]

Damn fire monké does not fuck around

[rare knot]

Thoughts?

[knotty ledge]

I literally just beat it too

It’s a fun game.

[night ledge]

high rank or low rank?

[knotty ledge]

LR I think? The first credit roll

[green plank]

on the game itself or the ending?

[rare knot]

The game itself, no spoilies plz

[green plank]

yes just wanted to clarify because i was halfway through a paragraph about my thoughts on the ending 😭

good thing i asked

games peak

[knotty ledge]

[green plank]

sucks that people are having issues running it and all that, ive been lucky to not have any issues myself besides The Rogue Vertice

games peak

[knotty ledge]

[green plank]

and i didnt experience the so called "super low difficulty" by simply not being that good, so i had a fuckton of fun

fainted a grand total of 3 times in low rank 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

once to the black flame and twice to arkveld

[rare knot]

Black flame black flame

That means new game plus

[green plank]

i shouldve grinded more for stuff though didnt do a lot of grinding so i had like barely any items

not a single trap made in the entirety of low rank

[rare knot]

Have you finished HR yet?

[green plank]

nop

just got into it

[rare knot]

Oh ok

[green plank]

main story is all in LR, hope HR has something kind of a story but i havent heard anything about that

[desert geyser]

no sadly, I think they got rid of that option. That being said, I just deleted the radial loadouts

[green plank]

so maybe HR is just raw monstie hunting gameplay

[rare knot]

I heard it doesn't

But idk I haven't played it

[knotty ledge]

Wait is it? Cause every time I lvl’d up it was HR 2->3 etc.

[green plank]

hm, if thats true thats kind of a shame but also understandable

[rare knot]

I'm hoping it's not too hard to Speedrun to HR

[knotty ledge]

Did I skip all of LR…

[green plank]

HR means hunter rank and high rank

[rare knot]

I don't like story in my monstie huntie games

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

I got faked out then 🧎‍♂️

[desert geyser]

world's and wild's hr system is really weird

[green plank]

well too bad i just got off the phone with mr capcom and the next game is gonna be a visual novel

[desert geyser]

like hr 5 and 6 is still low rank

[rare knot]

https://tenor.com/view/tissue-roll-hangging-suicide-funny-gif-22276377

[knotty ledge]

I think the story is incredibly mid here

[rare knot]

That's weird

[green plank]

i honestly did like the story of wilds for the most part

[rare knot]

Duality of man

[green plank]

it did go a little too quickly?

[knotty ledge]

I wish it went much faster 😭

[rare knot]

Is Malzeno the final boss of sunbreak?

[green plank]

i think the pacing at the beginning was great but then the ball just kept rolling and rolling and like i wanted to learn moer about these ecosystems|| i felt like the ice and ruins area were barely explored at all||

[green plank]

nop

[rare knot]

Or do I still have a ways to go?

[desert geyser]

Whoever thought the assassin's creed walking sections was a good idea should be fired

[green plank]

its a little bit more iirc

[rare knot]

Oh ok

[desert geyser]

I hated that so much

[knotty ledge]

Genuinely

[green plank]

im the only person who loved these

[rare knot]

Im so worried about that

[knotty ledge]

And they were everywhere… in my nightmares now too

[desert geyser]

Like yeah it's cinematic but like

[green plank]

i just got off the phone with mr capcom next game is all walking

[desert geyser]

At least let me skip them

[rare knot]

Sounds like the cart quest at the start of world but every quest

[knotty ledge]

It’s like at the beginning of every quest…

[desert geyser]

Basically yeah

[knotty ledge]

Awful!

[desert geyser]

Sometimes it's more than once at the beginning of a quest

[rare knot]

God it's so hard for me to be exited for wilds hearing all this

[desert geyser]

The final boss does not have any armor for it

[rare knot]

Can they just gimme a low rank skip button?

[knotty ledge]

Well the games incredibly fun

[desert geyser]

And you can't refight it

[rare knot]

What's the fucking point?

[desert geyser]

Only for cutscenes sadly

[green plank]

ah that sucks, will probably be an event quest at some point?

[desert geyser]

Bro??? That should be in base game

Like there isn't even a gathering hub

[green plank]

gathering hub is coming in title update 1 iirc

[rare knot]

What's even the point of a monster in a monster hunter game if you can't craft anything from it?

[green plank]

agreed

[green plank]

killing it

[rare knot]

That should also be base game 💀

[green plank]

but yeah sucks you cant replay it, i thought it was cool

[desert geyser]

One of the monsters doesn't even have a weapon for over half of the weapons

[rare knot]

Also what did they do to hbg, it looks so boring now

[green plank]

yeah honestly killing a monster and not being able to make anything for my weapon out if it has been common

[desert geyser]

And people were complaining about rise's lack of content... At least it was a finished game on release.

[green plank]

yeah sucks that it isnt but good that its coming

[desert geyser]

Don't get me started on the decos

[rare knot]

Tbf the real final boss was in a title update lmao

[desert geyser]

Decos are not only random now, but attack jewels can only be placed on weapon slots and not armor slots

[rare knot]

I'd hate to have played rise without sunbreak. I'd be so mad considering I can get thru the whole thing in an evening or two

[rare knot]

https://tenor.com/view/no-fun-allowed-no-fun-sonic-gif-3237927308381590617

Random decos is too far

[green plank]

welp im gonna hop off discord and actually go have fun with the game on my computer

rememebr for lack of content: title updates are guaranteed future content, and other games exist if you get bored :3

[desert geyser]

I mean kind of sort of? It felt more like post game but I see where you're coming from. I still give it a pass cause covid

[desert geyser]

I really hope the title update fixes everything

But my hopes aren't super high

[rare knot]

Man, I don't like the mainline team

[desert geyser]

Same

I don't want them to ever cook again

Portable team please come back

[rare knot]

I can't wait for the portable team to swoop in with a new game that fixes half the problems with wilds

[desert geyser]

Give us generations 2

[rare knot]

We're sorry we made fun of the wirebug y'all please just give valor style back

[desert geyser]

And yeah there were some things I didn't like about rise/sunbreak

But nothing to this extent

[rare knot]

I still do wish rise was a bit harder tho. Even in SB it can feel like I'm really stomping the shit out of even urgent hunts lmao

I picked up hunting horn cuz I got bored and it's the only weapon I haven't tried. And I'm absolutely annihilating mfs solo

Only dying because I get greedy

[desert geyser]

Yeah, post game hunts is where they start getting more difficult

[rare knot]

Yeah

[desert geyser]

Though if you want a really good challenge

4U

[rare knot]

I mean the games ain't gotta be ball busting, but the fact that Malzeno is the first monster in the whole game where I'm slightly stumped at how to beat him is disappointing

[desert geyser]

Though honestly, 4u g rank is kinda bs at times

[rare knot]

I wish 4U was still online

[desert geyser]

Solo that is

Same

[rare knot]

I have it on 3DS

[desert geyser]

Also same

[rare knot]

I need to go back and actually finish it. I never got to G rank in 3 or 4

I need to go back and actually finish it. I never got to G rank in 3 or 4

[desert geyser]

I'm glad I was able to beat gog with a friend online before online diminished

Despite him being decked out, there was still 5 mins left on the clock

[rare knot]

Lol

[desert geyser]

Can't imagine doing that solo

[rare knot]

You got no choice now 💀

They need to port 4U to switch

Insta buy for me

[desert geyser]

Like the damage the monsters do is a little excessive, but my main problem with them is the large hp pools

[desert geyser]

Easiest way to make me buy Nintendo online again

You know

[rare knot]

I use Nintendo online exclusively for MH at this point lmao

[desert geyser]

It's possible to emulate it and get online working for both 3U and 4U

[rare knot]

Been playing rise all day

[desert geyser]

Same for the past 3 years

[rare knot]

Ik, but PCs are expensive

[desert geyser]

Unfortunately yeah, that's true

Glad I was able to save up for one

[rare knot]

I usually prefer GU anyways, which is thankfully still up and will likely be for a ehile

[desert geyser]

Man. It really sucks cause I know wilds could be so much better

It just needed 6 more months minimum in the oven

[rare knot]

I mean, a lot of what I don't like about it are intentional choices

[desert geyser]

Same

[rare knot]

At least on paper

[desert geyser]

It's a mix of both for me

[rare knot]

It's like they learned nothing from the negative feedback to world

[desert geyser]

Exactly how I feel. Next time when I hear the mainline team is making a mh game, I'm just going to wait for everyone else to play it first

[rare knot]

Mh just doesn't fit into a triple a mold to me

[rare knot]

I'm gonna be hard pressed to buy wilds at full price tbh. I wanna try it but I know I'm not gonna enjoy it all that much

Like the combat in the beta felt fine, but everything around it just bugged me

[desert geyser]

Honestly, I'd say wait for the next update

I heard it gets better in high rank but like.

If it doesn't get better by the next title update, I'm going to just drop it.

And I don't mean like minor changes

I'm also talking about changes like making decos being placed on any slot regardless of weapons or armor

It just really hurts to see.

That all being said, I'm still glad people are having fun with it

[rare knot]

Idk why they ever change decos like that tbh. Like as if the system isn't limited enough

[desert geyser]

Exactly!

[rare knot]

They do that but then add mechanics like wound destruction

And take away mechanics from bowguns like they are afraid of anything being OP

Like so what if someone wants to make ur easy game even easier?

[night ledge]

Wounds are probably the best gimmick in the new titles

[desert geyser]

I still want to get through it so I don't get spoiled but... I'm not sure if I really care about spoilers at this point

I will say though, wounds are a fun gimmick

As much as I'm shitting on it, there are parts that are enjoyable

[rare knot]

My issue with wounds, from someone who has only played the beta just fyi, is that they are super busted

(and I've seen gameplay, of course)

[desert geyser]

A lot of the weapons feel super busted tbh.

[rare knot]

Like they aren't hard to open or destroy, and destroying them does insane damage

It is a cool mechanic, I just wish it wasn't so busted

[rare knot]

GS getting to aim it's charge slashes is so dumb

They'll do that but are afraid to give HBG siege mode again

[desert geyser]

Tbh I'm fine with wounds so far. And I also encourage change as well. Yeah wire bugs might have made the game a little too easy, but it was a nice change to see.

Well, I actually liked the wirebugs

[night ledge]

Wounds feel significantly less busted than wirebugs

[desert geyser]

Spiribirds are a better example. Didn't like them, but appreciated what they were going for

[rare knot]

My only real issue with wirebugs is that monsters are build for them lmao

At least not til much much later

[night ledge]

Monsters are also built rigor wounds

[rare knot]

Just completely unbalanced

[desert geyser]

Tbh, difficulty isn't too much of my concern.

Ngl I feel like a broken record complaining about wilds

[night ledge]

Lr is piss easy hr does have a spike in difficulty

[desert geyser]

I just really hope it gets better

[rare knot]

I just hate when I can get away so much with mashing buttons and spamming high damage attacks constantly

Rise absolutely has this issue, and the beta for wilds was much of the same

[desert geyser]

That's fair tbh

[rare knot]

Even in MR I can pick up IG and spam fast attacks and jumping attacks, and as long as I watch my essences it's just a matter of time til the monsters dead

And I can dodge out at basically any time

That's not much fun to me

And even though I enjoy the challenge, it's kinda sad that later SB monsters have to be so fast and damaging to keep up with the hunters power creep

[desert geyser]

Yeah that's valid. Tbh, I feel like the best way to balance it out is bringing back the old skill system like how it was in gu and previous titles

You could still customize your build, and it felt impactful for each skill you got. Yeah there were meta sets, but that always happens

And if the customization is kept to how it is in rise, then like you said, have the monster's be designed around it.... Yeah I'm just rambling at this point

[green plank]

is there no arkveld optional quest? how di i refight low rank arkveld i want that armor

[desert geyser]

Soooooo

Funny thing

You don't

[green plank]

ah

[desert geyser]

Yeah...

[green plank]

im gonna call up mr capcom on the phone, in the next game there will be no more refighting anything

[icy stump]

Wilds is fun but the long waddling sections are bleh

Also

WHERE THE FUCK IS RATHALOS

[rare knot]

I feel like a grumpy old man complaining about it kmao

[night ledge]

Hiding

[icy stump]

I should be seen his ass by now!

[rare knot]

Like "back in my day" type shit

[green plank]

i ate him 😔

[desert geyser]

Fr!

[rare knot]

But idk I just like when my games pose a consistent challenge

[icy stump]

The difficulty kinda spikes in Wilds

[green plank]

the story really shoudlve thrown in a wyverian that sayd "fuck you ill only help you if you kill a rathalos and a diablos"

[icy stump]

At least imk

[night ledge]

Definitely a spike

[green plank]

yeah chatacabra was such a wall

Though I think the water apex is the toughest of the 3

[icy stump]

Honestly I think ||nu udra|| gave me troubles because of the fact I'm running it on my laptop and the low frames

The phat fish definitely is a pain tho

[desert geyser]

Btw @rare knot do you have any kind of laptop or pc? Cause it might be able to emulate 4u

[green plank]

that guy was my first faint, tough fight

[night ledge]

That skeleton is just a pain

[icy stump]

I went to fight some ||fucked up dodogahuma||, used ghillie to sneak attack, and me smacking it's ass crashed my game lmao

[night ledge]

I can't see what it's doing

[icy stump]

So fucking real

It's like ||narkarkos|| but somehow worse, despite being like a 1/3rd the size

[analog osprey]

||Kut Ku is the first HR monster you fight||

||he goes gold and all!||

[analog osprey]

I hate him

Not fun fight imo

[icy stump]

Kinda real lol

He's rajang but without the fun schmovement of rise to keep up well

Holy shit game is sick

I uh

I found the rathalos

||God I was half expecting the apex to show up, but then when I skipped that cutscene and saw rath I was GIDDY||

||rath in the ice area was not on the bingo card||

||much less juiced up rath||

||is base rath just not in the game?||

[green plank]

||i wish, hes probably in there somewhere though, idk since i just started high rank||

[green plank]

||i was also so giddy when it happened HI NEW RATHALOS VARIANT||

[hushed kelp]

For those who have gotten to the end game/late HR, ||Any signs of Shaggy yet? All the sites I peaked at didn't show him but they may have just stopped soon after the gore fight||

[icy stump]

Now I know I'm not supposed to get a low rank set

Buuuuuuuuuut

[wide oyster]

he is

[icy stump]

But is ||his set?||

Or is it ||oops all guardian?||

Also

I gotta say it

||these fuckers really just, implied, the EDW is plausible, if not outright canon didn't they||

||gotta say wyveria is a bit of a uninspired name ngl for the ancient civilization, but it's shorter so fair is fair||

[hushed kelp]

||I'm sure they saw everyone talking about it and decided to make their official version of it||

||But they also made an easy justification for adding any monster they want into the game||

[hushed kelp]

||manmade horrors beyond our comprehension||

[icy stump]

Honestly, really fun concept

[hushed kelp]

Looking at roster leaks it was kinda disappointing, but looking at it from the in-game context is pretty cool

I hate it

I'm gonna have nightmares

[sharp cedar]

Thumbs down this man

[icy stump]

Aaaaaaand my game crashed on the presumed final boss

I hate it respectfully

Like

[sharp cedar]

Like respectfully it’s better optimized then the beta

But it’s still pretty bad optimization

[icy stump]

Oh tell me about it

It somehow runs better on my thing that has worse hardware

Like my PC has like at least 2x the processing power this has

But can't run it cause apparently AmD cause the game to shit itself

Idk

Games fun, although it weirdly feels like a lot of monsters are designed like rise mons

Fast, big aoe

Etc

Not that that's a bad thing

It's just...odd

[icy stump]

Ok so

Killed the final boss I think

[rare knot]

[icy stump]

(turbo spoilers) ||bro really went from knockoff gore to knockoff fatty, to knockoff normal+white fatty and was acting like no one would notice||

[toxic brook]

https://tenor.com/view/hulk-thor-ragnarok-big-monster-reaction-monster-gif-13054851

murder

[icy stump]

True it is beeg

I gotta ask

Is HR restrictive or do they let you just kinda faf about in the HR maps fighting HR mons? With the main thing you have to unlock being the new fights

Also is there like a big bad new monster at the end of HR too, or is it just kinda up in the air atm

[night ledge]

up in the air

looks like you get new main quests every 5-10 hr levels

[icy stump]

Oooooooooh

So HR is uncapped after you beat the final LR boss

Interesting

Also I think I'm getting the ||hr normal ass rath set||

Cause like I was like ||naaaah, I might get arkveld or G rather again||

||the normal one has evade window and adrenaline rush||

Someone at Capcom saw how I fucking played rise and went "aight, bet"

Like

||WeX is good, but I like adrenaline rush better||

||I could totally make a mixed set between Rath and G.Rath sets||

Hey, is Jin Dahaad considered an Elder Dragon? Because from what I've seen it should be

[icy stump]

Nah, leviathan

[hushed kelp]

Makes sense

But damn he's so cool

And beeg

[rare knot]

Leviathans are back? Lagi confirmed?

[hushed kelp]

Balahara is a leviathan

Sand worm full of water, leviathan if I've ever seen one

Also, just realized that there are no Piscine Wyverns in Wilds (yet)

[icy stump]

God is good

Man I decided to look into HR shit so I know what I generally wanna go for and I think I gots it

Definitely kinda surprised you don't actually ||kill jin dahaad in low rank, meaning you don't get his LR gear||

[hushed kelp]

That is strange

[icy stump]

This game has a lot of questionable decisions

Like

||no unique final boss gear at the end of LR and you can't even technically refight him via a quest iirc||

Or

The long ass walking and listening to monologuing

I think my plan is
||Beta base rath chest/waist, alpha everything else||

Oh also another weird ass gameplay decision i just realized

It's weird that armor skills are all either QoL skills, or conditional buffs, whilst armor skills are the actual consistent buffs

But the line is blurry as fuck there

Cause like

Evade is a armor skill

But guard isnt?

I'll admit the concept is a interesting way to kind of beat back the meta

Cause now if your build relies on conditionals you have to build around it, and with general options being nerfed it does seem like a "meta" might take a while to form, or at least the meta and average builds may be within spitting distance of each other

But then again

Guard as a weapon skill?

Tbh I think some skills should be both weapon and armor skills

Idk it's certainly interesting

[icy stump]

I gotta say though

As much as I'll dog on wilds for the optimization and the annoying plot, they finally got me to like Gen 5/TCS GS

[toxic brook]

I will be honest I don't think i will be able to return to previous titles without focus mode

[icy stump]

The offsets, wounds and guard cancelling helps a shitton

[toxic brook]

Shit is peak

I don't miss whiffing shit because the turn radius was wack

[icy stump]

Honestly focus mode single handedly makes TCS 1000% more usable

Like everything else is take it or leave it

[toxic brook]

It allows monster to remain mobile even while in recovery meanwhile hunters don't need to have a PHD in foresight to predict monsters position 5 seconds in advance

[icy stump]

True

Although I do think offsets are a bit odd

[toxic brook]

What's an offset

[icy stump]

The parries

[heady goblet]

Counters for weapons without shields

[icy stump]

Hit monster as attack is coming out, reduce damage and knock back whatever swings into you

[heady goblet]

Unless you're the Greatsword

Then you get both

[icy stump]

GS stays winning

[toxic brook]

Sounds like you are just inviting monster to hit you twice

[icy stump]

Nuh uh

I send dem bitches rolling

[heady goblet]

If you time it right you get a perfect counter which is free damage

And an opening to loop it

[icy stump]

Yeah so how that work? Specifically

Like

[toxic brook]

Sounds cool

[icy stump]

Am I hitting the attacking part before I get hit?

Orrr...?

[toxic brook]

I don't care how cool greatsword is i am still not playing it

[heady goblet]

Yeah

[icy stump]

I really do like how offset Rising works tho

And offsets in general

It's not like a counter you can swing wildly with

[heady goblet]

They do crazy damage too

[icy stump]

I'll prolly get more used to it after I play the game more (after they fix the AMD issues)

Played through all of LR yesterday on my old laptop which was struggling

[heady goblet]

It's the same damage as a strong charge

Roughly

[icy stump]

Cause apparently a old Nvidia card is better than a newer AmD card for wilds

For some blasted reason

Definitely think offsets are prolly the best version of a GS counter we've gotten

Even then

[heady goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/kingsavageaxe/status/1895995507115508056?s=46

[icy stump]

The utility of having a Chargeable Upwards swing can't be denied

Makes swatting at rathalos and those stupid flying ice fucks way easier

[icy stump]

I should go back and watch all the cutscenes now that I've beaten LR

[icy stump]

Also how TF do I determine the direction of focus slash?

Sometimes I swing down wards and forwards, some times I go laterally

[toxic brook]

on what weapon

[icy stump]

Is it stick dependant?

[icy stump]

GS

[toxic brook]

gl with that i have no idea

[icy stump]

I beat all of wilds dual wielding GS

First one loses sharpess, I swap to the backup

[rare knot]

True

Rise in particular is just so seamless

I'm not even playing wired and the worst it gets is item boxes being delayed or monsters occasionally teleporting a couple feet lmao

[night ledge]

Truthfully, I'm a little disappointed with high rank endgame

It just kinda ends

[icy stump]

What set is that supposed to be

I know the sword

[toxic brook]

i dunno

[icy stump]

Looking at it, it's maybe gore?

[toxic brook]

It's Balahara set.

[icy stump]

Yeah I was gonna say either gore or that

Apparently they patched the game to not be ass on AMD

(it still is and insta crashes)

Ah well, now at least I can bang away at it calmly and passively, as opposed to in a mad frenzy trying to beat the game to not be spoiled on the new fights

Cause afaik ||you fight all the new, new monsters in LR||

And realistically I can ||wait to play HR||

[knotty ledge]

Hey y'all, I know this isn't what the channel is about, but we're starting to enter the growing season here in the Northern Hemisphere, so if you feel like it now is a great time to try your hand at gardening!

Small herbs or edible plants are great, but any effort is a good effort! Blackberries grow great in the southern us, you can honestly just toss the seeds somewhere and they'll take

[knotty ledge]

If you’re going to plant herbs then get into bee keeping too for those mega potions (boom it’s now about monster hunter)

Demi implies part something

So the implication is ||gogo magaga is part/almost a elder dragon, hence why capping is generally a option||

No worries ! I don’t mind spoilers at all but I know some peeps here might not want to see them ~

(The backflip with with you on it's back, btw)

[analog osprey]

Rathalos number 12 for the Ruby

The medulla curse continues

[wide oyster]

do investigations

I think

multiple monsters is better

or you can just hunt tempered arkveld 10000000 times

[analog osprey]

Kachow

(This was my quest end screen btw)

[icy stump]

Does ||guardian rathalos|| up the drop rates?

Or is that a separate drop

[toxic brook]

you can arkveld my nuts to a post I am not fighting those monsters

[green plank]

i wanna refight ||zoh shia|| so baaadddd

maybe i can join SOS or something

[frail crescent]

Curious, hows the "post game" for this game. I keep hearing stuff that sounds like there isnt a ton of content. But I might have a wrong imprssion

[night ledge]

There is not unfortunately

[distant storm]

how is the Wilds performance on PC

[tawdry garden]

dogshit

[distant storm]

wow is the game that good for it to get 1 million concurrent players

[tawdry garden]

it relies on framegen a bit too much

the actual monsters are really cool fights still, felt really flashy and hype compared to rise imo

never played worlds tho

[distant storm]

I held off on buying it since it looked worse than World while also running at 25 fps at the tests I saw

how would you compare it to launch elden ring performance wise

[night ledge]

Didn't you find some helper notha?

Or some mod that improved performance

[tawdry garden]

didnt buy elden ring on launch so i oculdnt talk abt it

yea the mod mainly just adjusts things in the config file so its all stuff you can do manually

[distant storm]

its a mod preset?

settings preset*

[tawdry garden]

i have midrange pc specs, able to run most games at 144fps and medium+ settings but still can only scrape 100fps on absolute lowest settings + config shit + framegen

[tawdry garden]

yea

[night ledge]

What the fuck

[tawdry garden]

it did help boost my fps around 5-10 give or take

[night ledge]

Here i am at fuckin Avg 40frames

[distant storm]

bro what are your specs

[tawdry garden]

with framegen?

[night ledge]

No framegen

I've got a 3060 and a AMD Ryzen 7

[tawdry garden]

youd prob get 80 to 90 i think

have u tried it out?

[night ledge]

I don't think so

Normally it's pretty consistent, except with black flame or in the forest area

[night ledge]

Much much worse, but i had zero issues with er even on high settings

[distant storm]

damn no freezes?

[tawdry garden]

@night ledge These are my pc specs, apparently my GPU is almost equivalent to a 3060 and I also have a Ryzen 7

[distant storm]

everyone's game froze for like a full second constantly at launch

[tawdry garden]

so we basically have the same exact specs, so 90-100fps is possible for u

[distant storm]

good to know, we're in the same ballpark specs wise

[tawdry garden]

nice, note that you get 90-100 fps in fights and in overworld or camps i get around 110-120

but i just limit my fps to 100 so i dont feel any massive spikes

[night ledge]

Yep. I think i had 2-3 crashes in my first 2 days but no stuttering or anything like that

[night ledge]

Good to know. Ty ty

[sharp cedar]

I’ve had no crashes but the beta crashed about a every time I played

So they changed something for me I guess

[analog osprey]

Hell yea simulator

[icy stump]

Hell yeah

[neon pecan]

you can go straight into joust from a power clash I think

[analog osprey]

Ik you can but I was too busy freaking out over what happened
