Oh man, my Wico bat is coming out of retirement!

Love it! Great to see Fairlight's name up there again.

I'm hyped, man. I'm playing through World now after dumping ~800 hours into MH RiseBreak across Switch and PS5. Loving it despite the difficulty spikes (Raging Brachyidos sends his regards). Hopefully Wilds smoothes out these spikes and also makes the campaign more easily played through with other people. World still has people playing years after release (only thing I can't find parties for are the sieges). I gotta sink time into MHGU, though...so many monsters, so little time.

Meh, I finally picked up Ghosts'n'Goblins Resurrection. For $9 I figured why not.

If you mean that joining a game is actually intuitive and not a bunch of Online Session mumbo jumbo, yes.

I chose Scorned Magnamalo. I love that murder kitty.

You'll pry my Great Sword from my cold dead hands. No matter the meta it's always at least decent, and dead simple to be effective with. Difficult against mons with quick attacks that have a wide range, though (e.g. Gore Magala).

Yeah, that's what I'm reading. Won't go too far down the rabbit hole with the US version then.

Pink Rathian already out there, so at least they're doing variations.

[–] MrDiamondJ 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, but the pool of monsters is much smaller. Even with variations, there aren't nearly as many monsters as there are Pokémon.

I'm assuming you mean playing with others via Join Request if need be.

Played Monster Hunter on the PS2 for the first time. My thoughts:

  1. It's amazing how much the core tenets of the game have been retained even 20 years later. You play MH and it feels a bit more primitive, but not completely foreign. Monsters are familiar, weapons are familiar, music is familiar. It doesn't feel much different from the PSP games or the even the 3DS games.

  2. Swinging your weapon with the right analog stick is the weirdest thing. This makes the way the PSP games control make a lot more sense.

  3. I really wish there were pirate servers out there so I could play online. That would be great. I wish companies would make open-source servers after the corporate ones go offline, because MH is all about playing with others.

It's a cool look back, though.

I've played a bit. I have yet to see the long-term hook, though. With Pokemon Go they have the obvious hook of completing your Pokedex, but MH doesn't have that as a main activity (at least to the degree of Pokemon).

I'm not getting deep into it because I don't think it'll be around very long.

I was never a big Pokémon Go guy, although I dabbled for a while. I'm really curious about Monster Hunter Now, though...did anybody get into the first beta? I did not.
